*** O/T Do you guys think this is inappropiate? I went to this meeting today and one of the directors was doing a prsentation, and he hands out these flyers for the calendars they were selling to raise awareness of testicular cancer. It was a "girly" calendar but full of naked men. Some football/fire brigade team or the other. They had their bits covered not very discreetly and he gave me a couple of flyers to "give to the ladies at the office". I just thought "Eewwhhh". Really poor taste IMHO. But the "ladies at the office" thought it was hilarious and kept them. Either I am a prude, or I am gone supersensitive about this.
She was more concerned that I snoooped!
*** Have you guys read Stepbuild's posts?
He wrote this:
I too, made some "mis-steps" and assumed that some boundaries were "flexible". It always caused a world of grief , stress and anxiety for my wife and always had a negative effect on our R. So, I have had to internalize one major rule. ALWAYS communicate with my partner and agree before I do something that would change a boundary or modify it in any way. Its tough as my "ego" wants to get in the way, but the results in doing it for a while is that my wife now trusts me to do many more things and I feel more confident in myself. Sitting down every month or every 2 weeks if necessary to have a "no blame" conversation is a good thing. Things get even more crazy when we are busy but the time MUST be carved out to talk and be each other's support. My wife always says to me that she feels safe when she feels that " I have got her back" and support her. Trying to keep my sensitive ego and pride and sometimes "clulessnes" in check when we hit a bump in the road has been the most difficult thing for me in recovery.

Have you ASKED him what he wants?
Ukg, yes I have, and so has MC and IC. He says he doesnt know.IC told him that he needs to have a direction to work towards, and for him to think about what he wants in life. That was a few months ago, and he hasnt made any headway since. However he knows he wants us (me and kiddos... Riiight.
Not knowing what you want is so foreign to me. I know what I want. I always have. It changes at each life stage, but I work well if I am heading somewhere. Aimlessly drifting is SO not me.
However he knows he wants us (me and kiddos...
OK. That's a good start. I think the problem is that he still has reason to believe he can have that on his terms. Do you think there's any way to make it clear to him that's not necessarily written in stone?
BTW- I just came off the treadmill. Can you guys believe George Clooney's the towel boy????
And fnf, everybody seems to think that if he's not cheating on me, I have no reason to be snooping. Well, with everything that he has under his belt, snooping should be the least of his worries.
I know he knows I know. I'm too tender for it to just be the no smoking thing... which by the way I've had 3 today because of this.
He's just not going to get "there". I know it. Here we go again, risking his fragile marriage over a nothing nobody.
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. -- Yoda
Do you think there's any way to make it clear to him that's not necessarily written in stone?
I am open to ideas, Brooke.
And the thing is, it really isnt cast in stone. If he just thought it through, and analysed everything that he has seen and heard me go through this last 2 years, he should KNOW that the one thing I am DEADSET against, is becoming my mum again. Sometimes I wonder myself if I would just end the M, so as to avoid that.
**** Hey Weepy.Dont get caught in the spiral now. Stay level and focused. For all we know, he could have a legit reason...I cant see how, but he could.
Stay level and calm, Weepy. If you cant wait till tonight, call him on his lunch break, and get it out. I know its preferable to deal with it person, but if waiting is going to send you down, then I say call him now.
everybody seems to think that if he's not cheating on me, I have no reason to be snooping
For all we know, he could have a legit reason...I cant see how, but he could.
He can have legit excuses, but no reasons. I read uni's post over in recon I think and she printed out a bunch of stuff about excuses vs. reasons. There are types who use excuses to cover up behavior, and those that own their behavior and have reasons for it.
Example is someone oversleeps and tells their boss they had a flat tire vs. the person who goes to leave for work and finds they have a flat tire and tells that to their boss. One is an excuse, one is a reason.
The reason he did it could be many things... he feels smothered and wanted to break out, use this to prove he's still a man with control over what he does and who he does it with (Totally anti-R, but a reason). Or he wanted to see if I was still snooping on him.
An excuse will be that he was afraid I'd be all angry and stomp around while he was on the phone with her. Or that he knows I knew he called her and wanted to see how long it took for me to confront him about it (playing a game). Neither of which addresses his behavior.
Of course there's the OTHER reason... that he's discussing our M with her, having an EA with her or wants to or he's lied about their relationship all along and didn't want me to find out the truth... what I don't know, can't prove, he doesn't have to own.
But I can only control me and what ME wants to do is confront, listen and if I get excuses, leave. If I get honest reasons, discuss it.
But I can't leave, I don't have a job or anywhere to go except the no tell motels in our area where HE frequented.
I hope no one throws out a life vest!
No worries. That tiger shark made quick work of her.
Are you kidding me. I can't possibly see me not ever being vigilant. Hyper-vigilant not any more, but I will always be aware of what's going on. I wish had been moreso from day one.
((((Weepy))))))) You just seem to be having suc a hard tim ecrackin ghis shell lately.
I feel a bit in a different place all of a sudden. Nothing has really changed, adn maybe I am being crazy or naive. I just don't think he is going to cheat right now. I think he is committed. With this usrgery, he has stepped up to the plate big time. I am less mother, he is more partner. We are a team, and he is doing most of hte work right now which is relly great.
So now I want to know how to move on with R. I want to know how to have fun when you are in R, how to learn to love each other againadn learn to like each other again adn how to even relate to each other. Ithink we hve forgotten how t do those things.
We skippedMC today. I am having such a bad day recovery wise from surgery...lots of pain...and it was an early appointment. We both lay back down for a few minutes and decided as a team to cancel. lol. e called and then curled back in bed behind me and we snuggled to sleep for 3 hours. It was way better than MC woudl have been...I wasn't sure how I was even going to walk in to the building. He has IC on Friday adn will reschedule us then.
SoLost, I am sorry that you are in pain today, but I'd stay in bed and cuddle, or sleep, anyday versus MC. I know what you mean about putting the fun back into the M. My H and I have date nights most weekends, and go away together at least once a month. We have a 5th wheel camper and love to go. We have created MANY new and FUN memories.
UKGirl, Old flames = cold ashes LUV IT! Sure wish the flame would just die out already.... but it just keeps sizzling under the surface!
LostHeart, It really amazes me what our H's say and do.... how much do they think we can handle?? I am sorry that things have been so rough for you, it's just not fair. What does your H mean when he has the nerve to say he doesn't know what he wants?! That would SOOOOO piss me off. Does he really think that you will wait around forever? Perhaps you should give him something to think about...???
FnF, Gonna xheck out the post in R about trust issues. My H understands why I don't trust him and that it could take as long if not longer than his A to get over. This past weekend out of town and the XSOW reared her ugly self, and I know he isn't breaking NC, but Damn, it still makes my heart beat hard and my stomach to lurch!!
Well, off to take a really long walk and then to start dinner.
I am woman, hear me ROAR!! What you accept, you teach!
Me 53, WS 54 Reconciled for life! DD 24, DS 27
No talk yet but he sent an ecard and is on his way home. Actually coming in the door.
*** Fnf, I dont even hear how he introduced the topic. I am afraid he had been so boring that I must have been daydreaming. I assume though its going with the Calendar Girls theme.Just one thing confuses me though..this is aimed at raising awareness with blokes right? So why use naked guys? Its like giving women girly calendars to promote cervical cancer awareness.Men!
*** SoL, I am so pleased for you that H has been succeeding. Way to go Mr Solost!!!
I agree with Lovin.Its almost like courting again - go on dates, dress up and talk about everything except kids and the A. Rediscover each other...you will be surprised how much both missed out on during the A years.
Sending you both good vibes.
*** Lovin, I think my H is a very lost man. And I believe that that started even before he met OW1,( although living that lie with her from the time he was 23 till he was 35 when OW2 took over, really destroyed parts of him that will be very difficult to heal.)
You know I asked him once if he really got what he did to me, the kids and himself...and he said he cant and he wont. He is too afraid to look at it too deeply, because he knows it will destroy him. Although a part of me insists that it is necessary for him to do that, another part of me, is also scared. I dont think he is that strong. That sounds condescending doesnt it, or maybe I am still protecting him.
I just realised something. As much as I want him to hurt for what he did, it pains me deeply when he does. Makes sense?
I do understand that his pain is also yours. And I truly don't wish our pain on anyone, even our H's.
I think that in some ways you are protecting yourself as much as your H. If it would destroy him to look that deeply inside hisself, than that would leave you to suffer right along with him. It's not a crime to love someone, even if it's not in them to return that love back in the same way. My concern would be for you... and if you can live with that. If so, than more power to you. I think your H is a VERY lucky man!!
Having hope is a wonderful thing, and those that are lost... even for a long time, can and do find their way back home!!

So I have been in a better mood the last few days and I wonder if being sick and then getting better has taken some of my focus off of my situation. Yes, it is still there but sure is nice to have my health back, KWIM? Also, on the sage advice of the tribe, I have been doing things for myself. Some are little (manis, pedis, etc) some are, shall we say "more substantial" (like this trip). But, they are things I have either wanted to do or talked about doing for ages but I always made an excuse why I couldn't do it. Most of the time the excuse was because I had to do something for somebody else. I may have to be careful with my newly discovered self-spoiling or I may end up NPD!
Lost - Do you think your H would post here? The reason I ask is that my H has peered into that very dark place. It scared the crap out of him to do it. Honestly, when he first started he had dreams of being bound with duct tape including his nose and mouth, unable to breathe. But now, as he is making progress, it is like he is working on his own freedom. He is so much happier. I am sure EmptyOne would be willing to PM him if he would join.
On a lighter note, don't worry about all that water. We have Matthew Mcconaughey on constant guard for you, standing by with his trusty lifeboat. Please try to make us believe you don't want to get marooned with him! Oh,and can I get a copy of that calendar!
So Lost - I am so glad to hear your H is stepping up to the plate and helping you through this. Sometimes it is really good for them (and their egos) to be forced to help us. They learn that they love us. I agree wholeheartedly that 3 hours cuddling in bed is much better than MC.
Weepy - Honestly, I do not know what to say about both your MC and your H. Your MC needs a slap up side of the head. Can we tatoo "trust but verify" backwards on her forehead so she can read it in the mirror?! I think you need to have another discussion with both your H and your MC and explain (again) why this action is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
eta: hit submit by mistake...
lostsoul good luck tonight. let us know how it goes.

I hope by not posting today it means you are finally up off that sofa and enjoying the beautiful spring weather.
Are you watching me? Or having me followed? That was just weird that you wrote that just as I was posting!
Thanks for asking.
That was just weird that you wrote that just as I was posting!
I don't think it sounds condescending at all, I think it sounds realistic and compassionate.
He's only been in IC a short time. If you can find it in you to give him time, his IC may be able to bolster him enough to do what he needs to do.
LostH. Calendars. Its all a matter of taste. Personally, I would rather see George Clooney in a state of partial undress (his tie loose, shirt undone, pair of boxers, you get my drift .. ) than with just a small hand towel to cover his embarrassment. I bought a charity calendar from our local radio station and the guys and girls are covered sufficiently for it to be perfectly okay. No one would be shocked, the shorts are v short, the girls shirts undone by a button or two than would be okay in the street, but nothing worse than you see walking by a nightclub. Just say its not your cup of tea.
As to your H,
SoLost. Wow. Major steps forward! And superwelldone to Mr SoL. He CAN do it!! And snuggling is better therapy than a threesome with your MC any day. Shirley,
a girlfriend and I are flying to Miami on Thurs for a long weekend. Staying at the Ritz Miami South Beach.
Meantime, I am trying to process last nights MC. I have always slept pretty well and not been troubled by bad dreams. It wasnt good the first few months after DDay (from what I can remember), when therapeutic sleep was elusive and punctured by distressing dreams. Understandable. But lately I have had dreams of abandonment (for want of a better word) and they have moved on to being abandoned (by him) in places I dont know and being left carrying a child on my hip (usually my youngest but aged between a baby and about 4) and no money. So most of last night was about that. And OW features quite a bit too. She didnt use to. Apparently its all to do with PTSD and it is finally coming out in my dreams. MC wasnt surprised. But it was good to talk about it. And we talked about trust and the rewriting of boundaries.
Hugs to all, buzzing off out now. Check in later. After Ive checked out the towel boy in the gym ..

That had me cracking up! It acually woudl have been a fourome....lol...we each bring our counselor!
I really, really appreciate all teh support you guys. It i so hard to trust again, but to feel like maybe I can is just such an enormous step. And to hear that other people do things together and are trying is so hepful. I am going to bring up a little weeken thing when I start feeling better (rough couple days-I hate steroids!).
I have found that I resent him so much less though. He is helping around the house and I do't have to be the nagging bitch, i can be the partner in crime that doesn't want to wash the dishes either and let's complain about it together for a minute. It has lways been more of a mother/child thing and that just gets massively cylically and very hard to stop. I wonder if he feels it too? I may ask him. I have felt so crappy that we have not had any kind of 'talk' in over a week adn that hasn't been that bad of a thing. I think I needed a break from t without know ing it.
OK, I don't get teh snooping thing. Isn't that part of being accountabl? Isn't that what you do after yourspouse has an affair? Shouldn't the MC be talking about ways that Mr Weepy can be more transparent so maybe Weepy woudln't have to snoop. I mean, no one wants that pressure. I don't want to have to check cell phones and emails. But that's the situation I'm in. So fiugure out how Mr Weepy can fix that and be open as a book. Ugh, that just makes me so mad! Any chance he woudl switch counselors or you couls explain your view point to MC?

Dallas-based Highland Capital Management has driven its credit-based strategies to highly competitive results this year. The firm's flagship credit fund, a $1.8 billion event-driven fixed-income portfolio called Highland Crusader Fund, was flat in September to remain up 20.25% YTD. That's well ahead of the Absolute Return Fixed Income and High Yield Index, which rose 5.91% over the same period.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A Kanawha County magistrate's son was stabbed in the shoulder and head by one of his roommates after an argument over rent money turned violent in Nitro on Wednesday, police said.
Christina Rena Page, 21, of 13th Street in Nitro, allegedly confronted one of her two roommates, Julianna Elswick, about rent money that Elswick and her boyfriend, Paris Workman II, allegedly owed Page, according to the criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.
Workman is the son of Kanawha County Magistrate and former Marmet police detective Paris Workman. He was elected magistrate in November 2008.
According to the criminal complaint, Page went into the kitchen and grabbed a steak knife, which she placed several inches from Elswick's face and verbally threatened her over the rent money, saying "so help me if your boyfriend tries to walk out of this house without giving me my damn money. Best believe I will put this knife through him."
Elswick went outside and told Workman about Page's threat.
Page followed Elswick out of the residence and started to argue and curse at Workman before stabbing him once in the right shoulder and once on the left side of the head, according to the complaint.
Two independent witnesses said they saw Page stab Workman outside of their shared residence before he was able to place her in a "bear hug," causing her to drop the knife and leave the scene, according to the complaint.
Workman refused medical treatment and was not taken to the hospital.
Page is being charged with one felony account of malicious wounding and one misdemeanor account of malicious assault and was told to have no direct or indirect contact with either of the two victims, according to the complaint.
She was released on a personal recognizance bond. She has a felony preliminary hearing scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 4.

We got a lot of ice since Thursday night. Our pine tree has already been damaged from past rain storms, and now it droops to the ground full of ice. Every year in our neighbors yard, there is a tree that blooms first and loses its leaves last. But now the tree is covered in ice and still have leaves. Another one of their trees lost limbs also from so much ice.

New York City Fire Department officials say a space heater caused a house fire in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn that killed a young boy Saturday.
Firefighters responded to a call at approximately 2:50 a.m. Saturday for a fire in the first floor of a home located on Bedford Avenue near Farragut Road. Police say Aschton Charles, 8, was found unconscious and unresponsive inside the house when the fire was extinguished and was pronounced dead at the scene.
"He was my special child. He is the one who comes home and asks me, 'Dad, how was your day?' He's the one I take to basketball on weekends," said the boy's father, Herbert Charles.
"My little sister she tried to get my little brother but she said he ran away when she grabbed him. We tried to jump out the window," said the boy's older brother, Steven Brette.
Fire officials said residents who were trapped on the second floor were removed safely.
Neighbors said they helped shelter the rest of the family.
"They recently moved into the neighborhood so we have not really met or, you know, to get contact to find out what their names are or anything. But last night I pulled them in the house but I didn't get to ask names, because everybody was screaming and confused," a neighbor said. "It's shocking. We all didn't expect something like this, we don't know."
Meanwhile, the family said they have few toiletries, almost no clothes, food or money.
The Red Cross has provided them vouchers for three nights at a local motel but after that they worry they will not have a roof over their heads.
We reached out to the red cross tonight
A Red Cross spokesman tells NY1 a case worker will meet with the family Monday and possibly extend their stay adding, "We will not allow them to be out in the cold."
Donations are being collected by the World Missions Assembly, located at 1407 Flatbush Avenue, care of the "Charles Fund".
For more information, call (718) 676-1385 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Meantime, the FDNY is reminding city residents to know the dos and don'ts of space heaters.
Fire officials say they should be placed at least three feet from anything that can burn and should never be left unattended.

Blackberry Storm review

61. Campaign for Good News Day
I have been amazed at the current web of negativity that the media is spreading and the overall pessimistic response that it is having on society.
There is no denying that there is a lot to feel unhappy about what with the current economic crisis and the knock on effect it is having on households and businesses around the world. Add to that war, famine, disease, poverty, crime, global warming and it's no surprise that our media outlets are full of doom and gloom.
Despite this, and as one of the UK's current unemployed, I am trying to remain optimistic and believe that it is only a matter of time before things improve. However, when I switch on the TV, turn up the radio or open a newspaper my optimism is challenged.
I'm not for one moment unsympathetic to those individuals and organisations that are the victims of the stories that fill our headlines. All I am saying is, wouldn't it make a change if for once the media concentrated on bringing us positive news items rather than negative and took a step forward in inspiring us?
It is for this reason that I have started a campaign to make Wednesday 25 March 2009 Good News Day.
So whether it is news, money, business, sport, showbiz, entertainment, travel or even the weather, I am calling for the media to focus its attention on Wednesday 25 March 2009 and present us just with stories that are true, encouraging and uplifting … stories of those that have survived against the odds … stories of businesses that are doing well … help and advice on how to survive this economic crisis … in other words, positive stories to motivate us.
I appreciate that Good News Day is not going to change the world but it just might make us change how we view it, if only for 24 hours. After all, if we look at our lives close enough haven't we all got something to be grateful for?
With your help, let's make Wednesday 25 March 2009 Good News Day!
62. Nuyoricans Against MTV's True Life
MTV recently aired an episode called "True Life: I'm a Nuyorican" which featured the stories of three young people living with this cultural identity.
All three individuals chosen reinforced negative and socially damaging stereotypes to this culture as well as other Latino communities.
There was no balance or wholly accurate representation of the Nuyorican community, a term which is derived from the Literary and Artistic Movement begun in the 1970's and continued to present day.
The documentary was discriminatory, negative, myopic and detrimental to the perception of this community.
63. Babydolls R Delicious Real Women Campaign
Babydolls R Delicious have started a Real Women campaign to try to change the way people feel about themselves and what the media and advertising campaigns portray to be normal.
Babydolls R Delicious are trying to promote health and confidence in all men & women and help empower people to make a difference.
Babydolls R Delicious aim to highlight just how many people feel the same way and have a social effect on both the 'Sexy Sells' attitude of major corporations and what is perceived to be 'Sexy' and 'Sold' to the public via mainstream media.
Using real women of all sizes, shapes and looks to model lingerie not just the typical Victorias Secret Models you see on most sites.

64. Leave them alone: She is protecting her children
Swedish mother Ann-Louise Valette and her two sons Frank Oliver Valette, 11, and Andre Nicholas Valette, 9 have been plastered all over the newspapers as being "abducted". A revealing article states that she was concerned about child sexual abuse that had not been substantiated.
Anyone who has gone through the courts and worked in this area knows that most cases of child sexual abuse are underreported and the chances of getting help to substantiate it in the middle of a family court battle are minimal - The police won't even go near it and child protection passes the buck saying that its family courts area.
Lawyers filter these things because they know legal aid finds protecting children "expensive". The facts are:
False Allegations of child abuse in the family court are as low as 5%
For years the Family Court has been systematically ignoring substantiated child abuse and domestic violence.
Family Violence and Child Sexual abuse are underreported.
Australia is one of the highest rate male dominated police force in the world. Since the "No Fault divorce", it is mainly mothers who are running with their children, Since the shared parenting bill, homicides increased by 14% in 2006.
There is no domestic violence homicide review team in Australia. Most mothers run with their children because of family violence and child abuse.
Update Dec 27:
We have received a request from the fathers family to discontinue this campaign. As it is a matter of public interest, we have included the message, facts and background as to why this petition is running. Our team has ensured this is thorough and accurate with links to reliable sources: http://anonymums.blogspot.com/search/label/Enforced%20Dissappearence
One other point to this, if the fathers family was genuinely concerned about the children's well being, why immediately issue a recovery order that would sever access to vital services such as hospitals, food, clothing and education?
For years football has been the target of journalists with an obvious aim of putting the game down for the benefit of their own preferred sport of choice.
Now is the time we say enough is enough, we are Australians and deserve the same respect and treatment enjoyed by rival sports.
It is fair to criticise when based on FACT but when a clear anti football agenda exists and certain facts are ignored it shows blatant discrimination.
Firstly, rugby league and AFL journalists are in no position to comment on the world game. It should be left to those who are. The likes of Simon Hill, Michael Cockerill and others can comment from a position of truth and no hidden agendas.
TAFE NSW is planning on scrapping their Digital Media courses and replacing them with an IT Diploma that has a few subjects of a similar nature.
Previously, due to an agreement between TAFE NSW (Wagga Wagga) and Charles Sturt University, graduates of the Diploma in Digital Media have been able to articulate directly into the third year of a Bachelor of Arts (Multimedia). This has been largely due to the outstanding quality of work produced by our students, as well as the years of dedication and hard work by the teaching staff.
Thanks to the hasty and ill-thought decision of TAFE NSW, students will no longer be able to take advantage of this agreement. Additionally, students who enrolled in the course at the beginning of this year, under the assumption that they too would be able to go on to university, now find themselves stranded – in any sane situation, that would be considered a breach of contract.
TAFE NSW contends that the course they have instituted in place of Digital Media covers the same subjects and achieves the same outcomes – this is patently false. The new course contains no practical art subjects and has what amounts to a brief overview of animation and design. Students who complete this course will not be able to transfer their skills to university and hope to gain any subject credit. Additionally, the new course will be promoted under the name "IT (Multimedia)", which has the potential to turn away scores of young people intimidated by academia.
Australia is already far behind the rest of the world when it comes to the arts, music, film and animation – do we really want to work towards making our nation even further behind? There is nothing to say about this pitiful decision, save that it is just not okay. It is tremendously short sighted; it may make sense in the short term, it will certainly improve the TAFE NSW bottom line – but at what cost to the community? How many more young people will leave Wagga Wagga because we don't value the arts?
Sign this petition and help put pressure on TAFE NSW to reverse this decision immediately. For them to do anything less is tantamount to spitting on the efforts of both past students and the hard working teachers of Digital Media.
67. Citizens for Actually Unbiased Media Coverage of Public Education in Washington, D.C.
During the Summer of 2008, DCPS volunteers were dispatched throughout the city to survey residents on how involved they felt their community to be in public education.
Overwhelmingly, these respondents reported that they heard mostly bad news about their schools. In fact, 68% felt that news outlets mostly reported the bad, while 9% heard mostly good, and 19% heard both equally.
Another, similarly named group takes this data to mean that local news media should stop reporting "negative" news about the school system, presumably because it's bumming them out, or threatening their jobs.
We feel that the reason there's so much bad news about the schools is because there is, in fact, so much bad news to report. D.C. public schools, are, after all, the worst in the nation by several measures. And we feel that reporting on their problems is a public service.
Claims that there's "too much negative" news are silly at best, misguided and deceptive at worst. If your kids are in schools that aren't doing well, wouldn't you want to know that? Wouldn't you want to know why?
But if you were a teacher whose job might be at stake, would you want to see that same news? Probably not.
Think of who's saying there's too much negative news. And judge accordingly.
We think having more information, not less, is better.
68. Create Endometriosis Awareness & Understanding
An estimated 176 MILLION women and girls worldwide have endometriosis!
"This makes endometriosis more common than AIDS and more common than cancer", as per Ohio State University Medical Center. (Source: http://bit.ly/PyjDP).
Yet for years it has remained largely "under-the-radar". The general public has been largely unaware of it - or misunderstands just how very debilitating it can be. When endometriosis IS mentioned in the media, misleading statements may be made (causing confusion for patients and the public).
We have a duty to educate the public about this life-altering illness by spreading factual information... and by recognizing misinformation and taking steps to address that.
Endometriosis can only be diagnosed via a surgical procedure called a laparoscopy.
Endometriosis awareness is vital! It is equally vital that information disseminated about endometriosis be accurate! In spreading myths and misinformation, endometriosis patients are hurt rather than helped.
Unfortunately, there is NO CURE for endometriosis.
The purpose of this petition is endometriosis awareness. ANYONE who wishes to sign it may do so. Whether you are male or female, young or old... if you wish to show support for the 176 million women and girls living with endometriosis, we'd be honored if you'd sign this online petition. If you wish to do so, you may include a comment when you sign. Please spread the word about this petition to others!
* Please note that I do not endorse any organizations. Patients are encouraged to do thorough research before supporting any organization claiming to help women and girls who have endometriosis.
Thank you!

69. Bring Back The Russell Brand Show
Russell Brand has resigned from his BBC radio show "The Russell Brand Show" His reason for leaving is that he feels that the show is not making people "happy" anymore.
Or though there is one mistake on his and Johnathan Ross's part he still makes us laugh and makes us happy.
The whole thing has been blown greatly out of proportion by the media, as despite the figure being quoted in its thousands, only two complaints were received about the show, both for Ross's use of an expletive.
Since then, the media have stirred up uncalled for and unnecessary amounts of controversy, considering the dialogue used would be water off a ducks back to viewers of many comedy shows e.g. Little Britain.
What's more, listeners were warned about possibly offensive language and content.
Matt Morgan
The Sony Award winning Russell Brand show originated on BBC 6 Music before moving to take the 21:00-23:00 Saturday slot as Radio 2's showpiece.
It has been one of the most successful of recent times and is certainly one of the funniest and really does brighten up the days of many people, with regular Co-host Matt Morgan, poet laureate Mr Gee and regular guest, Oasis star, Noel Gallagher.
The show has attracted over 400,000 listeners live or even 2 million (depending on which source you believe) and many more via podcast, for which it has dominated the charts on iTunes.
For the show's regular items, Nanacdotes, Pin pin, 'Gay', the jingle race war, Mr Gee's poems and the two hosts, Russell Brand and Matt Morgan, as well as former hosts and friends, Mr Nibbs, Trevor Lock and Christophe the Fish !
Mr Gee
Russell's resignation statement: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7698527.stm
Russell, people need you to make them laugh, you said yourself that was the reason you did it and people need you to brighten their days once more.
A revolution in your honour, Russell.
Your loyal fans.
If you believe Rangers fans and our club are under a sustained and politically motivated attack, from biased MP's and equally divisive media establishments, then please take a moment to sign our petition.
Rangers fans took the unusual step of protesting outside the BBC in Glasgow recently, due to this corporation being duped into a false and utterly appalling tale about the "Famine song".
Compare and contrast the media coverage one week later when other supporters are caught red handed singing songs in support of banned terrorist organisations.
Rangers fans do not ask for favouritism or preferential treatment, but we do demand that we are given parity of esteem. We also demand that Michael Matheson SNP MSP, is disciplined by the Scottish government, for his biased and ludicrous statements on the Hokey Cokey song. Once again, bigots with an agenda attack Rangers fans, for no reason, other than their own prejudices.
71. Bring GameTap to Trinidad and Tobago and other countries
Finally, a gaming alternative has arrived on the Internet where anyone can find their favourite console and PCs games and play them on their computer and online. The only problem is: It's only available to users in the united States and Canada.
Does it ever occur to you that when you put GameTap on the Internet, everyone around the world using it will want to play? Where is your determination for bringing games to the masses and your foresight in this franchaise?
Not only should you bring it to other countries, but you should make a bulletin board detailing all the respective release dates and other vital information so we, the Internet community as a whole can play games just as much as the U.S.A. and Canada.
72. For Balanced Debate on the Georgia-Ossetian War
Dear friends,
As many of you know, the media coverage of the South Ossetian War was very biased and unbalanced. Due to this many people in the West believe things like "Russian aggression", "Russian looting", "Russian forces approaching Tbilisi" and many more things that are simply untrue.
Unfortunately, many people who advice US politicians get their news from the same sources as "average people". This leads to a cycle in which the elites tell the news what to report, then their advisors watch these reports, and reaffirm the information that was no where near accurate in the first place. With our limited resources, there are very few ways to combat this. However, one way to attempt to right this injustice is to organize a letter writing campaign to both US Congress and Senator Obama's campaign.
In the past I interned in the US Congress and know how the system works. Letters are read by advisors (Legislative Assistants), who then assign a generic pre-written letter if the member of Congress has a position on the topic, or an "I will keep my eye on the situation that matters to you" if the member does not have a position.
However, if a large number of letters concerning the same topic are received, the letters are treated differently; the member is made aware of the letter campaign, and takes it into account while determining his stand on the issue at hand.
So I believe that one of the best ways to help members of Congress and the Obama campaign better understand the issue, and help bring both sides of the story to the public debate is to organize a letter writing campaign to Democratic members of Congress and Obama (you don't have to be a Democrat or support Obama – the point is not to help him win, but to help bring the Ossetian side of the story to the public debate in the United States)
So if you agree with the text of the letter, please copy-paste it, sign it, and send it to your member of Congress. Also sign the petition page; if we get enough signatures, we can try to print it as an open letter online or in newspapers.
You can find out who is your Member by entering your zip code on this site:
Your can find out who your Senator is on this site:
and to the Obama campaign:
Thank you for your help in getting the truth out into the public debate, and may the souls of ALL the people lost in this conflict rest in peace!
73. Stop Unfairness in the Mass Media
We have worked so hard in the past. In order for women to gain the natural rights that we deserve, mostly, there is a need to stay grounded. Since the 1800s on down, we have made strides to advance.
Our presence must be heard more due to recent events in the mass media.
74. We seek support from rest of India
J & K Governor Gen, Sinha surveyed condition of pilgrims of Amarnath yatra & found that people have to relax in open tents and therefore he signed a project for constucting permanent shelters for pilgrims and alotted 100 acres (800 cannals) of land to shrine board after passing it in J & K assembly.
The Forest Minister in the Cabinet was from the PDP, a coalition partner in the government. Yet they (the PDP) refused to accept responsibility for the joint decision (of allocating forest land to set up temporary structures for facilities for Hindu pilgrims during the Amarnath Yatra) Then PDP and some Pro-pakistan parties started agitating against decision with anti nationalist slogans and ransacking public property.
The Congress sans PDP minority Govt took decision back and surrendered in front of these anti nationalist and fundamentalist forces. People of Jammu started agitating against this anti national, anti harmony decision with all groups together. Later jammu muslim comunity supported agitation through a press conference. When Omar Abdullah gave statement in parliament that his people will not give an inch of land to pilgrims or shrine board ; emotions n sentiments of jammu people ran high and one of the protesters KULDIP DOGRA commited sucide in front of 500 people.
At 3:00 am next day police took his body after beating his family, AND STARTED cremating HIS BODY BEFORE SUNRISE AT 4:00 AM WHICH IS AGAINST HINDUISUM. one of the family member used local temple loudspeaker and informed people, Anger rose high and people started beating police .Police hit back and violent agitation turned into massive rallies with more than 40,000 people. Police killed 2 protesters days after. Latest opression is that Local Cable TV as well as SMSes have been banned in Jammu.
Most sadly these people are not getting required support from national media against such dictatorship and their lonely battle is still ON.
75. Say No to a global economic recession
Are we in danger of talking ourselves into a negative global situation?
Are we already in a recession?
I think the media made this happen. If you agree sign up and be counted!
Chanel 31 is cultural, informed, unique and has helped a lot of young people to be professional.
77. Support Durham Public-Access Television & Community Media Center
Recent changes in state legislation have opened an opportunity for Durham to have its own Community Media Center and Public Access Television channel. We are the first major city in North Carolina to take advantage of the new legislative promise to invest and support local media and community technology access and training.
For the last decade, Durham Public Access has been managed by Time Warner Cable because previous laws required them to do so. The result was that the channel did not meet the needs of the community or fulfill its potential as a true accountable, community-driven operation. Durham now has an opportunity to change this dynamic and create a public-access television channel and community media center which would be truly reflective of its culture and diversity.
Public-access television was developed to provide local and diverse content to programming on cable systems. Functioning like a soapbox for communities, programming ranges from local news, events and entertainment, to inspirational, youth-oriented, and educational shows. The need today is even greater with the loss of locally owned and operated television, radio and newspapers due to media conglomeration.
Besides offering space (and a voice) on the cable line up, Community Media Centers provide training, access to equipment and facilities, and serves to build community through the production of media. Nationally, Community Media Centers and Public Access programmers produce 20,000 hours of new programs per week – more new programming than all the broadcast networks combined.
There is no one model for a Public-Access Television and Community Media Center; each reflects the needs of that particular community. However, one thing is consistent - they advocate for and maintain tools for creating media, provide media services and create venues for sharing community voices and showcasing creativity. Through technology, they provide a space to communicate in ways that are not available through traditional outlets.
78. Take Back the Airwaves! Community Reclaim 88.1 FM!
CKLN 88.1 FM is a community radio station broadcasting from the Ryerson University downtown campus in Toronto, Canada. This campus and community radio station has been in operation since 1983.
For 25 years this alternative media outlet has served as a key point of dissemination of independent and grassroots news, views, music and culture in this diverse city. Within the past year many organizational and structural changes have taken place which have been non-inclusive, non-transparent and in violation of the governing by-laws.
In response, community members, volunteer staff and students came together and organized a Special General Meeting carried out on February 23, 2008 which resulted in the removal of the non-student members of the CKLN Board of Directors as well as the dismissal of their contested and controversial appointed managers Mike Phillips and Tony Barnes.
In retaliation for said meeting and member-led volunteer and community elections, about 25 CKLN volunteer programmers have been locked out of their programs since early May of 2008. Many of these dedicated and long standing volunteers received a one paragraph letter from Mike Phillips discharging them from the station stating that "their services were no longer needed".
The petition below is to Ms. Paula Boutis from Iler & Campbell, legal counsel for CKLN Inc., asking her to cease representation of the dismissed management and removed board members and to start fulfilling her duties on the side of the legitimately elected board members.
79. Supporting Strong Libraries in Portland Public Schools
To: Portland Public School Board Members and Portland Public Schools Superintendent
The Oregon Library Association (OLA), the Portland Area Information Literacy Group (P.A.I.L.), and the undersigned Oregon librarians and library media specialists want to express support for libraries, teacher-librarians and library media specialists in all of Portland Public School libraries. The OLA is a statewide association of over 1,000 members composed of academic, public, and special librarians from across Oregon. P.A.I.L. is a group of Portland area librarians from public, school, college and university libraries in the Portland area. We advocate for Information Literacy for all of our library users and students.
P.A.I.L. has met over the last three years and found from the very first conversation that we had a common concern: "Students seeking a post-secondary education lacked the requisite knowledge to do high quality research using the multitude of resources available in today's modern library." From our discussions we discovered that support for professional teacher-librarians and library media specialist (LMS) in Portland Public Schools had been waning over the years. It was a stunning epiphany for all, especially the college librarians.
We write to you in support of staffing your school libraries with professional librarians and support staff, providing equal and equitable access to both a qualified librarian and a professionally developed library collection. The role of administering a library program and library media center also involves someone who is an expert in curriculum and provides high quality resources teachers and students need. Research has consistently shown that school librarians and strong libraries correlate strongly with student success and retention. They also prepare students to succeed in post-secondary schooling and to become critical thinkers and well-informed citizens.
We understand that you recently created a new position in the district, one that can help to renew the role of librarians and school libraries across your district, and we applaud your acknowledgement to address this need. We wish to encourage your continuous efforts to bring Portland Public School libraries into the 21st century, and to become the leader for school libraries in Oregon.

80. Help Save America From Our government
America- Put down your guns and listen to us for a while.
America - I think your wrong.
America- I will turn off my T.V. i don't need your insane messages anymore.
America - I have my own thoughts i would like to explore now.
America - Why do you want me dead.
America - I don't think we should block our borders. I don't want to live like this
America - I think you are the breed of terrorist in the world.
America - Why do you want me to hate man.
America- I know what your up to and i don't want to be know as you
America - If i was god i would look at you as the devil.
America - You have gone to far I can't listen to you anymore.
America - Why do you look at the word love as a four letter word
America - I think it's time we all leave you. We are having a bad relationship it's not good for the children.
America - I hope after we are gone one day you will find all of us and maybe then you will be one of us.
I think it's time we all should start being proactive and assertive in taking our civil liberties back. We can start with that, then we can work on getting other things back from the government. Peace

The Bush administration and their friends in the media want this story to go away. More than want it to go away, they are in a panic, and will do everything they can to stop it. They will use every dirty trick, every paid shill, every presstitute that they can. Already there is a report that the Michael Jackson jury is "expected" to reach a verdict just before the Conyers hearings.
So, I want YOU to copy this article off, post it everywhere. This article is placed in the public domain. Mail it to your friends. Then send it to your local media and your Congresscritters and have everyone you know do the same. Get on the phones. Flood their offices.
The term is "Viral Marketing" where you get the people who need a product to market it for you. Well, this nation NEEDS this "product". It needs to know that this war was started with lies. INTENTIONAL lies. And they need to know there is something they can do about it, and that is to start pounding on the doors of power.
Because when a flood of such messages reaches the Congress and the media, what they will hear is that there is no more time. Either they will deal with these lies and the liars, in full, or they will lose all credibility as a government and as media.
A government that lies to the people cannot be the legal government of this land. Make sure that they understand that YOU understand that the Constitution does not allow the government to lie to the people. Calling themselves the government does not make it so if they act unconstitutionally and illegally. The Constitution is the original "Contract with America" and a government that lies stands in clear breach of that contract.
"… the Pentagon findings on Halliburton overcharges are likely to fuel the allegations of favoritism, especially since it was revealed that the firm had been granted the contract to manage Iraq's oilfields, valued at up to $7 billion, without competition and without any bidding. Cheney's name inevitably surfaces
"Cheney('s)… links to Halliburton… have drawn intense scrutiny because he ran the company for five years and was given a $33 million payoff when he left to run for office. Before joining Halliburton he was secretary of defense, and in a position to know about and grant Pentagon contracts. Halliburton's military work has expanded over the past decade...
"During the decade of Halliburton's extraordinary growth, Cheney was the defense secretary for four years, from 1989-93, and then the chief executive of the company for five years, from 1995-2000.
"As vice president, Cheney has maintained his contacts with energy-industry executives and solicited their views in developing US energy policy. The secrecy of those contacts - which the White House refuses to divulge - is the subject of a US Supreme Court lawsuit." - Halliburton Unscathed by Overcharge Flap
In October of 2004, Bunnatine Greenhouse called the Halliburton Middle East contracts into question…
"… Greenhouse said that when the Pentagon awarded Halliburton a five-year $7 billion contract, it pressured her to withdraw her objections, actions which she claimed were unprecedented in her experience.
"… the Army gave the no-bid contracts to Halliburton's subsidiary KBR for political reasons. Greenhouse charged that contracts were approved over her reservations, some of which were handwritten on the original contracts, and extensions of contracts were awarded because underlings signed them in collusion with senior officials without her knowledge.
"Greenhouse claimed the Army… violated 'the integrity of the federal contracting program as it relates to a major defense contractor'. 'Employees of the U.S. government have taken improper action that favored KBR's interests,' Greenhouse wrote. 'This conduct has violated specific regulations and calls into question the independence' of the contracting process." - Halliburton Contracts Illegal - But Bush Busts The Whistleblower
81. Support the Only Independent TV in Georgia
The government of Georgia is trying to appropriate Imedi TV, the only independent TV Company in the country.
The TV Company, "Imedi", owned by late businessman Badri Patarkatsishvili, was a famous independent media organization for many years. Following Patarkatsishvili's death, members of a close governmental circle within the ruling party are taking control of the TV Company. Ina Gudavadze, the widow of the late businessman, stated that the station was seized from them and was assigned to a person who is not an heir of Badri Patarkatsishvili.
We are reacting to the uncertain situation about the TV Company ,,Imedi" and considers it as nothing more than an attempt of the Georgian Government to control the media and appropriate private property.
The Georgian government has been persecuting independent media organizations since 2004; that means censuring, shutting down and dispersing media companies. The attack on ,,Imedi" on November 7, 2007 by Special Forces police was particularly cruel. This ended with the closer and later suspension of its broadcasting. The fact that ,,Imedi" is deprived from the legal owners (the family of Badri Patarkatsishvili) means that the TV Station will continue to be suppressed by the government.
Consequently, it will become the trumpet of the Georgian Authorities and the protector of their interests, like other Georgian TV-companies. It is noteworthy, that Badri Patarkatsishvili was suppressed by the Georgian government to give up his TV Company during many years and now, after the death of the businessman the government wants to take control over Imedi.
Ina Gudavadze: "The government does not want a resumption of broadcasting of the TV Company "Imedi". Self-proclaimed people who pretend to be the owners of the "Imedi" managed to bribe the government. They did not have the right to act in such as way because my family and I are the legal owners of the TV Station. We will appeal against all kind of attempts to appropriate strange properties in court. Since my family and I do not wish or intend to be involved in politics, I did not have chosen not to complicate the tense political situation in the country even more. All this time I tried to reach some sort of compromise with the government and negotiate with high-ranking officials, as well as with the chairperson of the Georgian Parliament. However, I have not received any reply yet. I am daring enough to resume the broadcasting of the TV Company "Imedi"; the international independent Media Company and cooperative management of the Board of Trustees will be the guarantee for the impartial activities of the TV Station. Badri said that "Imedi" is a trumpet of the free expression; it is an achievement of Georgian people and it belongs to them.
It is my duty to realize the kind will of my husband. The freedom of expression is guaranteed under the Georgian Constitution. Every Georgian citizen has the right to express his/her opinion and the independent TV Channel is the best source for them."
Imedi TV, still the only TV station not controlled by the government is still off the air.
82. Americans Against Media Censorship of Presidential Candidate Ron Paul
Since the debates began in 2007, in preparation for the 2008 presidential election, the media has routinely failed to give 2008 presidential candidate & Texas Congressman (R)Ron Paul, either equal time as afforded all others, or in most cases, censored him via preclusion; and to such extent, that as a result, many Americans never knew of him.
This is a blatant attempt to influence the outcome at the polls, and should neither be allowed, condoned or tolerated.
General Electric is an outstanding company, and has been for over 125 years. Motivated and inspired by Thomas Edison, the company has been recently helping countries and people all across the world.
GE not only contributes to the medical field, the first company to ever be assigned to its 50,000th patient, but also helps developing countries and war veterans. GE values creativity and imaginative thinking trying to improve the world one step at a time. GE makes environmentally friendly products, which are also energy efficient.
By exploring alternative energy sources and reducing gas emission by 30% this company is making great strides. The expansive growth in other countries also contributes to opening new jobs and markets to people in need. GE follows the principles in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, meaning they believe in fair conduct of all workers and taking steps to make that happen by taking special precautions for its workers, making an environmentally safe and impact free work environment. GE is also the lead provider in advanced medical equipment, making them a necessity around the world.
GE, this year, has donated 2.1 million dollars to different organizations helping in Darfur. Overall, GE contributions to Africa exceed 20 million dollars. Each year, hundreds of employees from GE gather together to make communities better. These projects take place here in the U.S and over seas.
The employees reach over 1 million hours of volunteer work throughout the year, helping to once again better our communities. GE has started a Volunteers foundation, which works with local charity organizations and local communities. Recently GE has coordinated Paintfest, the largest volunteer effort ever underway.
By painting hospitals and clinics GE employees teach their customers to imagine. As well as numerous hours of volunteer work, GE also has a Disaster Relief Fund. GE has also been helping to "clean up" Asian countries. They have started projects to help clean up the rivers. GE also employees over 6,000 veterans providing for those who have served our country.
GE is very helpful to not only the United States, but countries all over the world. They provide, help, and give to those in need and have been for over 125 years. Not only does GE serve the medical and appliance industry, but they serve the people.
War propaganda threatens to corrupt U.S. media. Why waste time, money and our men?
Those men can be anything they want to be and they are using their time to defend our country.
Billions of American dollars have been used to fight this war. The money can be used here in the U.S. for greater things.
So, I fell that if you want to invest money into something effective, make music, not WAR!
85. Against Danish papers printing blasphemous cartoons
I am against the causing offence to other religions.
In this case the Danish media is causing problems for the common citizens of that country by having Danish products and services boycotted by People of Islamic faith.
We do not need to breed more hatred against the West; we have had too much violence in the last decade.
We want to live in a harmonious society and peace. The Danish media must accept responsibility in which they have caused offence and had initially caused the problem in inciting certain individuals who have passion and love for their faith.
The Danish media is to blame.
86. BBW's to Feature in Lads' Mags/Newspapers
I firmly believe that Lads' Mags should feature a variety of ladies, including BBW's. I'm sure they can spare a page or two for us.
I feel they should feature all shapes, sizes and ages, as all guys tastes are different and not just the stereo type model.
I recently received a message from a young girl from another site and she basically praised me for what i do, and that there are reall women out there they have confidence in the their bodies. She went on to say how she is getting bullied cause she herself isnt a size '0'. She went on to say i was a reall inspiration to her.
Her message got me thinking, and i think us 'real' girls should be featured in mags.
I also think that if we are supposed to be all equal in life then what is the deal with picturing big women on magazine covers and in ads? I believe in equal rights for every one.
87. Give Jimma Times license for its independent Afaan Oromo newspaper in Ethiopia
We, Oromo and other citizens of Ethiopia, demand that the Ethiopian government allow Jimma Times to have license for its independent Afaan Oromo newspaper in Ethiopia.
We are very disturbed about rumors and stories in Finfinne that Jimmaa Times has not been given license despite filing application for many months. The fact that the only Afaan Oromo newspaper in Ethiopia is still the government controlled "Bariisaa" newspaper once again shows how Oromo people CONTINUE to be marginalized and oppressed in the country!!
According to the habesha/Orthodox calendar, it was in the year 1999 that oppressed people of the country saw the Jimma Times website become a rare Ethiopia-based media that is independent, allowing diverse views and news. It would be another BIG mistake by the Ethiopian regime to ban the country's first independent newspaper that would also distribute News in the ONLY language 35 million Oromo people understand.
Unlike some other newspapers in Ethiopia that are established by politicians, all friends of the newspaper know that the Jimma Times newspaper is owned by NON-Political businessmen and philanthropists. Despite the undemocratic and restrictive nature of the country's "Press Law," it is more depressing to witness even newspapers planning to obey the "Press Law" are being denied license by the government!
We, the undersigned, demand the regime to stop denying the Jimaa Times workers their basic rights and to grant them their license as soon as possible!

89. Stop Ban on Live Broadcasts in Kenya
Due to post-election violence in Kenya all media houses were banned from holding live media coverage.
90. Fair and Unbiased Reporting From Media For John Edwards
The media networks like CNN, Fox News, and many others seem to not report on Former Senator John Edwards, and if they do by some chance report on John Edwards it's always negative.
I mean for example just recent CNN, MS NBC, and many others, reported on Barack Obama placing 1st in the Iowa Caucuses, and they also reported Hillary Clinton placing 3rd in the Iowa Caucuses, but they never really reported on John Edwards placing 2nd, The only thing they did say was that Edwards was out of the race for President.
Once again after placing 2nd in Iowa, they still reported negatively on John Edwards. I think it's all because John Edwards is willing to take on the big corporations and their lobbyist and I think that scares them just a little, but that does not give them the right to report biased and unfair on John Edwards.

HP has gaming handheld in the works
Hewlett-Packard is working on a gaming handheld that could let players use their surroundings as a backdrop for an immersive game.
The company unveiled a commercial for "Mscape," its gaming prototype, that featured a number of young hipster gamers roaming San Francisco while playing a game on Mscape that used cues from their environment as triggers to unlock new levels or bonuses. "We want to get kids off the couch," Rahul Sood, chief technology officer of HP's gaming division, said during a presentation in San Francisco.

Casino Mogul's Frontman in China Is Focus of Inquiries
BEIJING — When Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate, needed something done in China, he often turned to his company's "chief Beijing representative," a mysterious businessman named Yang Saixin.
Mr. Yang arranged meetings for Mr. Adelson with senior Chinese officials, acted as a frontman on several ambitious projects for Mr. Adelson's company, the Las Vegas Sands Corporation , and intervened on the Sands's behalf with Chinese regulators. Mr. Yang even had his daughter take Mr. Adelson's wife, Miriam, shopping when she was in Beijing.
"Adelson and I had a good relationship," Mr. Yang said in a recent interview in Hong Kong. "He should thank me."
Mr. Yang joined the Sands in 2007 as the company worked to protect its interests in Macau, where its gambling revenues were mushrooming, and pressed ahead with plans for a resort in mainland China. Boasting of ties to the People's Liberation Army and China's state security apparatus, Mr. Yang was hired for his guanxi, that mixture of relationships and favors that is critical to opening doors in China, according to former executives.
But today, Mr. Yang, along with tens of millions of dollars in payments the Sands made through him in China, is a focus of a wide-ranging federal investigation into potential bribery of foreign officials and other matters in China and Macau, according to people with knowledge of the inquiries.
The investigations are unfolding as Mr. Adelson has become an increasing presence in this year's presidential election, contributing at least $35 million to Republican groups. On Tuesday, Mitt Romney's running mate, Representative Paul D. Ryan, is to appear at a fund-raiser at the Sands's Venetian casino in Las Vegas; Mr. Adelson is likely to attend, according to a person close to him.
In the political arena, Mr. Adelson is perhaps best known as a hawkish defender of Israel. But whatever the outcome of the inquiries involving his businesses in China, an examination of those activities suggests a keen interest in Washington's China policy and highlights the degree to which politics and profits are often intertwined for Mr. Adelson.
The Sands has faced a conundrum in China as a casino company whose fortunes are heavily dependent on its operations in a country where gambling is illegal, except in Macau. The company relies on the good will of Chinese officials, who mete out approvals and have the power to curtail the flow of mainland visitors. As a result, Mr. Adelson has sought to use financial clout and connections to exert political influence at the highest levels of government.
On the front lines of those efforts was Mr. Yang, who was paid a $30,000-a-month retainer by the company before he was fired in 2009, he said. At times, he acted as Mr. Adelson's personal guide to the Chinese establishment. Among the dignitaries he took Mr. Adelson to see was Wan Jifei, a leading international trade official whose father had been vice premier. That led to a lunch with other trade officials at the Great Hall of the People on Tiananmen Square.
The Sands later hired Mr. Wan's daughter, Bao Bao, a socialite and jewelry designer, to do public relations. And the trade agency Mr. Wan ran became a partner in the Sands's biggest venture, the Adelson Center for U.S.-China Enterprise.
Mr. Yang denies resorting to bribery and says he actually lost money on his dealings with the Sands.
"I'm really being bullied because I helped Venetian and Adelson do so many things," he said. "I'm in the middle, and on both sides everybody's pointing at me."
The broad outlines of the mainland China investigation were reported last week by The Wall Street Journal. But a review of more than a thousand pages of corporate records in China, as well as interviews with former Sands executives and others, provides a more detailed picture.
The documents show that the Sands paid out more than $70 million to companies tied to Mr. Yang for the trade center and for a Chinese basketball team the Sands sponsored. But several million dollars appear to be unaccounted for after the projects were suddenly shut down by the company, The New York Times found.
What became of any missing money and whether any of it wound up in the hands of Chinese officials are among the questions being examined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Compounding the Sands's legal headaches in China, several of the company's subsidiaries came under investigation by Chinese regulators, resulting in a $1.6 million fine, according to Chinese corporate records. Mr. Yang said the penalty might have been much higher, but he "coordinated the matter" with the agency.
Federal investigators began looking into the Sands's China activities after the former president of the company's Macau operations filed a wrongful-termination lawsuit in 2010. The former executive, Steven C. Jacobs, charged, among other things, that he had been pressured to exercise improper leverage against government officials in Macau, and that the company had turned a blind eye to Chinese organized crime figures operating in its casinos. (The Jacobs lawsuit raised questions about payments to another well-connected local figure — a lawyer and legislator in Macau — that were recently explored by ProPublica and are also part of the federal bribery investigation.)
The Sands declined to respond to a detailed list of questions provided by The Times more than a week ago, saying in a statement that it was cooperating with the inquiries and was confident that once they were concluded "no current member of senior management will have been found to have been involved in wrongdoing."
'Vegas of the Far East'
In mid-2000, Richard Suen, a Hong Kong businessman, met with Mr. Adelson in the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong to relay some urgent news. China, which had recently assumed control of Macau — the former Portuguese colony across from Hong Kong on the south China coast — was ending the gambling monopoly of the local tycoon Stanley Ho and would be taking bids for a limited number of gambling licenses.

12.9. Getting the Remote Server IP in the Backend Server in the Proxy Setup |
When using the proxy setup to boost performance, you might face the problem that the remote IP always seems to be 127.0.0.1, which is your proxy's IP. To solve that issue, Ask Bjoern Hansen has written the mod_proxy_add_forward module,[44] which can be aded to the frontend Apache server. It sets the X-Forwarded-For header when doing a ProxyPass, similar to what Squid can do. This header contains the IP address of the client connecting to the proxy, which you can then access in the mod_perl-enabled server. You won't need to compile anything into the backend server.
[44]See Section 12.16 at the end of this chapter for download information.
To enable this module you have to recompile the frontend server with the following options:
panic% ./configure \ --with-layout=Apache \ --activate-module=src/modules/extra/mod_proxy_add_forward.c \ --enable-module=proxy_add_forward \ ... other options ...
Adjust the location of mod_proxy_add_forward.c if needed.
In the backend server you can use the handler in Example 12-4 to automatically correct $r->connection->remote_ip.
package Book::ProxyRemoteAddr; use Apache::Constants qw(OK); use strict; sub handler { my $r = shift; # we'll only look at the X-Forwarded-For header if the request # comes from our proxy at localhost return OK unless ($r->connection->remote_ip eq "127.0.0.1") && $r->header_in('X-Forwarded-For'); # Select last value in the chain -- original client's IP if (my ($ip) = $r->headers_in->{'X-Forwarded-For'} =~ /([^,\s]+)$/) { $r->connection->remote_ip($ip); } return OK; } 1;
Next, enable this handler in the backend's httpd.conf file:
PerlPostReadRequestHandler Book::ProxyRemoteAddr
and the right thing will happen transparently for your scripts: for Apache::Registry or Apache::PerlRunscripts, you can access the remote IP through $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR}, and for other handlers you can use $r->connection->remote_ip.
Generally, you shouldn't trust the X-Forwarded-For header. You should only rely on the X-Forwarded-For header from proxies you control yourself—this is why the recommended handler we have just presented checks whether the request really came from 127.0.0.1 before changing remote_ip. If you know how to spoof a cookie, you've probably got the general idea of making HTTP headers and can spoof the X-Forwarded-For header as well. The only address you can count on as being a reliable value is the one from $r->connection->remote_ip.

Mike Bloomberg on Principles & ValuesMayor of New York City (Independent) | |
Hagel made the suggestion after sharing a meal with Bloomberg durin the mayor�s most recent visit to Washington. �It�s a great country to think about--a New York boy and a Nebraska boy to be teamed up, leading this nation,� he said.
Bloomberg has said repeatedly he will not enter the presidential race. Nevertheless, Bloomberg has fueled speculation about his ambitions with a schedule that has frequently taken him outside NY. He has also relaunched a Web site, www.mikebloomberg.com, to keep backers abreast of his governmental and philanthropic work, Bloomberg says.
Publicly, the Democrat-turned-Republican professes no interest in the top job. But Bloomberg has dropped enough hints and has had enough tantalizing discussions with potential supporters that people who observe the city�s politics for a living are
I ordered a sable jacket for my wife, Sue. While I was never embarrassed to say that I�d been fired and was now running a small start-up business, I�m tougher than many others (or, perhaps as a psychological defense mechanism, I have convinced myself not to care what others think). But I was worried that Sue might be ashamed of my new, less visible status and concerned I couldn�t support the family A sable jacket seemed to say, �No sweat. We can still eat. We�re still players.�
On my last day of work, September 30, 1981, I picked up the jacket. Sue was delighted. Next morning, I started Bloomberg, the company. The rest is work in progress.

Reviews for The God Delusion
No answers - Just more questions...
I had always questioned the irrationality of religious belief and never really been able to decide why religion didn't grip me in the way it gripped others. The God Delusion brought together many of the questions I had already asked myself as well as making me think of more.
Dawkins covers the subject of religious belief from many angles both Historic and Psychological but always looks at the matter from a purely scientific viewpoint. The lack of scientific evidence for the existence of a god is the basis of the book and the arguments drawn within it.
Having previously considered religious belief to be an inert part of humanity's development I am now more aware that having religious beliefs alters the way an invidividual lives their life. by Alison Smith- Top review
The reviews tell us more about the reviewers
"I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
The other reviews reveal more about the reviewers than the book. Read it with an open mind and be challenged." by a Book Depository customer
