Wild at Heart & The Way of the Wild Heart Captivating, Waking the Dead.
just... wanted to throw that out there. Google for his web site. the topics of the books may not seem relevant at first glance but ....I believe they deal with a lot (if not all) of root issues that lead one into SA. jmho.
and no, a female in an SA support group isn't a real good idea. if it bothers you, speak up. There are female groups out there but you have to dig to find them.
Does anyone else's partner go to a mixed group? How is it working out?
My H's IC won't recommend groups in our area because they are mixed.
He says they are a VERY bad idea.
"I am a goddess" *Cocoabean*
After reading all of the info and hearing from the IC that she thinks he is an SA, he finally admits that he is. My question is, so much of what he did seems so similar to so many others that don't seem to identify with the SA "diagnosis". Do you think that there are a multitude of others on SI who are but either don't know enough about it to call themselves that, or won't admit it?
I see it very often but I hesitate to offer a diagnosis or suggestion of one. I think SA is misunderstood - the perception is a "sex maniac" but in reality, it is anyone who depends on sex as a coping mechanism.
My H sound similar to yours - his LT affair was with one person and it was an off/on A. Pretty safe to say that both enjoyed the cat and mouse game and the high they got from the chase.
Having an affair does not mean you are SA but logically, it would make sense to have a higher number of SA on an infidelity site.
I love him, but I love myself, my sanity, and my happiness more.
He has even mentioned that though it has been extremely stressful at work, one of the things that used to trigger him going to the online dating chats, he hasn't once even thought about it.
He says that he feels good about himself, doesn't feel he has to "be on" and prove himself to anyone but can be content with who he is. Does all of this mean he is healing?
I can understand how you're feeling about a woman SA being in your H's group. But, there's another way to look at it. Hopefully, what he'll get from having her in his group is that he's not alone, and that women are people too, who suffer from this disease. You are supposed to get a sponsor of your own sex, so they shouldn't be hanging out that much together. Also, I think in general, women are more verbal about their problems, so she very well may open up discussions that men might not.
Are you in SAnon or COSA? Are there any men in your group? My group has a few which is really helping me begin to trust men, and to hear things from the other side of the fence.
You're right that you can't work his program for him. For yourself, work on detaching from his problems. You can't control who is in his mtg, so give it over to your HP. Acknowledge your feelings, and talk to other group members about how they have dealt with this.
At area marathons or conventions, you get to talk to a lot of people who are SA--I can look at them, and understand that this is a disease. I know it's harder with your spouse, but you can get there.
I can't believe you're handling all this with a one-year-old and twin babies! Do you ever really look at yourself and realize what a feat this is? Wow! Lucky kids.
I won't post in the forum, because I don't want to "infringe" on the nature of the thread - that you are all with your SA partners.
But I lived it for a long time - until he said that (despite diagnosis) he wasn't a real SA, just did those things to punish me.
So, if you like, feel free to PM me, but I won't post in the forum.
Know you all are loved, and that NONE of this is your fault!!
I hope that your WS will go to a SAA meeting. I believe that it has been a tremendous support for my FWH and helped him to explore himself in a safe place with others who won't judge him. He says that going to the first meeting was the hardest thing he ever did, but now he goes back without any pleading on my part. If he wants to talk to my FWH about it, PM me and I will ask him if he is willing to talk to your WH.
last dday was 8/06, in R
Okay first, I'm not a prude. We have or at least I aways thought we had "fun" in the bedroom. Not boring...Here's my question. He wants anal sex and frequently, it's one thing that I don't like so it's something we have "done" every few months. I've tolerated it for but am uncomfortable phsyically as well as mentally with it which he knew but still "let" me do.
Unfortunately, I apparently wasn't meeting his needs emotionally (which now that I look back at will accept my responsibility for that) but also sexually in his need for "anal" sex He actually went to a hooker for it which he said disgusted him and he wouldn't do again.
Last night in my non-negotiables, I said I could/would no longer tolerate it as first it's always made me very uncomfortable and now I will have this vision of him being with a "whore". He agreed to it but said he was sad/disappointing but would do it for me.
Do you think it's that easy?? I'm thinking not if it's something he needs and one that already drove him to a "pro". Help I can't/won't tolerate this again but don't waste time on him if he truly can't or won't be able to accept this.
"I'm in repair, I'm not together, but I'm getting there."
I can relate with your story about anal sex. If fact, it is how I tell when my husband has slipped back into pornography. There is a strange connection between the two.
He drove himself to the hooker....and then home, right? You setting boundaries in the bedroom is not only your right as a wife but good and healthy for the relationship...at least that has been my personal experience.
Besides, you may be up for it again someday but right now his little "taboo" interest is tied to alot of pain for you.
It was a trigger for me for a long time, too.
Good news is that as the porn diminished so did the drive for anal sex.
Thank god I don't have to be a porn star all the time anymore. I mean really, ouch!
And an update on me and my FWH Things have been up and down. I'm so proud of him for getting his one year chip and all his hard work. That has been good but I've been struggling lately with feeling like my feelings and the things I need to express have been pushed aside so he could focus on his recovery. We've addressed it with our MC and things should get better now in that regard.
My FWH got a big bombshell dropped on him a few days ago. His father had been hospitalized and several things came to light. 1. His dad is diabetic and has known for about 8 months but didn't tell my FWH. 2. His dad has a new live in girlfriend (he's been married 3 times...this is just one of a long string of girlfriends which has led us to suspect that he is at least a love addict and possibly a sex addict but who asks their dad if their a sex addict?? So we don't know that for certain.) 3. His dad is an alcoholic and has a gambling problem. Major bombshells. It explains a whole hell of a lot but still my FWH is unstandably upset. I suspect that because of his age and the limited opportunities for love/sex acting out he just changed addictions. It didn't help that he moved to a town where he found lots of drinking buddies, including some relatives. FWH's younger sister is trying to convince their dad to move to a town closer to her and away from his drinking buddies.
Anyway, it's hard on FWH as he had not yet disclosed his SA to his family. He's been working toward it and had planned to but was figuring out the logistics of disclosing to several people none of whom are local and all of whom live in different places. It's a bummer to do this repeatedly. But now he really feels he needs to tell his dad but he also needs to be careful how he does it. There is a difference between disclosure and dumping and he should not dump on his dad right now. He's talking with his CSAT about it and hopefully they will come up with a workable solution that is good for everyone.

I haven't done them in a while, but its time. How's ready to take on the hypnotoad?
I'll take GSP, Condit, Nate, Story or Cruickshank
I'll take a 2/3 bet as well.

"Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, YA GOT ME!" GW
No thanks on this card, but I will have my revenge some day!
-The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.Mr. MMA News Poster, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone at this forum site is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
you wore that baroni sig like a man! I think you earned a lot of respect going through with it.
I already found a good sig, but the nate/jake fight could go either way. you could win.
I'm surprised there aren't more bets.
We gotta man up on this site!
Ill take GSP and Hendricks, maybe a best 2 out of 3 if someone can come up with another fight. Im horrible at picking humiliating stuff for others, Its just about the bettin to me.
God hates me, never keep my banger on safety
My mother raised me alone, you can't break me
Like my hearts pumpin the blood of Royce Gracie!
13-4-1 in sig/av
Well...One of you American fella's wanna one month AV bet me on the Cruickshank/Makdessi fight?? I have Makdessi.
I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don't think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they're different genres. I think they're both examples of great craftsmanship.

Moldova profile
Sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine, Moldova emerged as an independent republic following the collapse of the USSR in 1991.
The bulk of it, between the rivers Dniester and Prut, is made up of an area formerly known as Bessarabia. This territory was annexed by the USSR in 1940 following the carve-up of Romania in the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact between Hitler's Germany and Stalin's USSR.
Two-thirds of Moldovans are of Romanian descent, the languages are virtually identical and the two countries share a common cultural heritage.
The industrialised territory to the east of the Dniester, generally known as Trans-Dniester or the Dniester region, was formally an autonomous area within Ukraine before 1940 when the Soviet Union combined it with Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic.
At a glance
- Politics: Prime Minister Vlad Filat heads a pro-West three-party coalition
- Economy: One of Europe's poorest countries, Moldova depends on agricultural exports and transfers from citizens working abroad
- International: Moldova's government seeks closer European ties. The mainly Russian-speaking Trans-Dniester region proclaimed independence in 1990 but has not achieved international recognition
Country profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring
This area is mainly inhabited by Russian and Ukrainian speakers. As people there became increasingly alarmed at the prospect of closer ties with Romania in the tumultuous twilight years of the Soviet Union, Trans-Dniester unilaterally declared independence from Moldova in 1990.
There was fierce fighting there as it tried to assert this independence following the collapse of the USSR and the declaration of Moldovan sovereignty. Hundreds died. The violence ended with the introduction of Russian peacekeepers. Trans-Dniester's independence has never been recognised and the region has existed in a state of lawless and corrupt limbo ever since.
The region reasserted its demand for independence and also expressed support for a plan ultimately to join Russia in a September 2006 referendum which was unrecognised by Chisinau and the international community.
It still houses a stockpile of old Soviet military equipment and a contingent of troops of the Russian 14th army. Withdrawal began under international agreements in 2001 but was halted when the Trans-Dniester authorities blocked the dispatch of weapons. Subsequent agreements to resume did not reach fruition as relations between Moscow and Chisinau cooled.
The Moldovan parliament granted autonomous status to the Turkic-language speaking Gagauz region in the southwest of the republic in late 1994. It has powers over its own political, economic and cultural affairs.
Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe and has a large foreign debt and high unemployment. Its once-flourishing wine trade has been in decline and it is heavily dependent on Russia for energy supplies.
The Russian gas supplier Gazprom cut the gas supply off at the beginning of 2006 when Moldova refused to pay twice the previous price. A temporary compromise arrangement was reached soon afterwards and the two sides agreed a new price in July 2006 with a further rise in 2007.
Gas supplies were cut off again for several weeks in January 2009, this time as a result of a dispute over prices between supplier Russia and transit country Ukraine.

Recipe by Lucky Leaf
"This cherry cake can be served as a coffee cake, a snack cake, or a delicious dessert."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (21 ounce) can LUCKY LEAF® Regular or Premium Cherry Pie Filling
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup cooking oil
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Dash of salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
It is delicious, but way too much sugar. It made so little batter that I didn't have enough for a 9x13 pan so I used a smaller one,so the next time I make it will use less sugar. It had the consistency of biscuit dough, so I am thinking that strawberries would be a good topping also.
Aside from making this in a slightly smaller pan, I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out okay for me. My family really loved it, but to me it tasted quite eggy (though the texture was correct). I will probably make it again, as it was pretty easy, and my family did enjoy it, but it's certainly not my favorite.
8 Ratings
I've tried this recipe twice. My fiance loves this cake. Sweet and simple. The cherries ooze out of the cake. It's delicious warm or cool. Light and perfect.
I absolutely loved this recipe!!! The end product was perfect and not to mention delicious. I added some more vanila and used canned strawberries instead and it worked out great. This recipe was so good that I believe any fruit filling would work well. Thanks for a great recipe!!!
I made this with a jar of home-canned apple filling instead of canned cherries. I also substituted Mexican vanilla for the vanilla extract. It was very good...better than I had anticipated.
Fantastic! My family loved this and I will most definitely be making this again! I think you could use any flavor of pie filling!
Made this twice now. It was gone very quickly, everyone loved it!
I used a Tablespoon of vanilla, quite excellent!

Tuesdays with Wilcockson: The A-Z of 2012, Part II
November 27, 2012 by John Wilcockson
Filed under Mind
Last week, I began this review of 2012 with the first half of my A-to -Z reflections. Here's the second half, including some amazing performances by three 22-year-old pros, and an almost perfect sets of results by the women's Eddy Merckx. But let's start with one remarkable 'cross racer….
N for Nys. It's being said that Belgian cyclo-cross star Sven Nys, 36, could be his discipline's greatest-ever athlete. He has already won nine events in the current season to go with his more than 300 career 'cross victories. Though he's only won a single world title (2005), Nys has taken six World Cup championships (and is headed for a seventh crown), 11 Superprestige titles and eight Belgian national championships in his 15 pro seasons.
O for Olympics. The Games of the 30th Olympiad in London saw cycling become one of the most popular sports, with estimated crowds of a million spectators watching the men's and women's road races on separate days, while the track, mountain-bike and BMX events all played to full houses. The home fans were rewarded by the British team winning eight gold medals, while no other country took more than one.
P for Phinney. In 2012 at age 22, BMC Racing's Taylor Phinney shed his image as just the son of Olympic-medalist parents, and began building his own pro road palmarès. At the top of the list was his winning the opening time trial at the Giro d'Italia and defending the pink jersey until stage 4, while he came close at the London Olympics with fourth place in both the road race and time trial, before winning the final stage of the USA Pro Challenge and then taking silver medals at the worlds' time trials (both team and individual). A sign for Phinney's future was a promising 15th place in his debut Paris-Roubaix after working hard all day for his team leader, Alessandro Ballan, who placed third.
Q for Quintana. Another 22-year-old, Nairo Quintana, enjoyed a remarkable debut season with Movistar in the UCI WorldTour. This Colombian climber scored half a dozen wins. They included a significant stage victory in the Dauphiné at Morzine after dropping Cadel Evans, Brad Wiggins and the Team Sky armada on the Col de Joux-Plane; and a brilliant solo success in the Italian semi-classic, the Giro dell'Emilia, which finishes on the famed San Luca climb in Bologna.
R for Rodriguez. At age 33, Spanish climber Joaquim Rodriguez of Katusha Team had his best-ever season, ending as No. 1 in the UCI WorldTour rankings for the second time in three years. His season was book-ended by classics victories at the Flèche Wallonne and Il Lombardia, while he won two stages and finished second overall at the Giro, and won three stages and placed third overall at the Vuelta.
S for Sagan. Many observers have compared Slovak prodigy Peter Sagan of Liquigas-Cannondale, still only 22, with the young Eddy Merckx. He won 16 times this year, starting with a stage of the Tour of Oman in February, and going on to win singles stages at Tirreno-Adriatico and the Three Days of De Panne, five stages at the Tour of California, four stages at the Tour of Switzerland and three stages of the Tour de France (along with the green jersey). Perhaps just as significant was the promise he showed in the spring classics, including fourth place at Milan-San Remo, second at Ghent-Wevelgem, fifth at the Tour of Flanders and third at the Amstel Gold Race.
T for Tiernan-Locke. Despite riding for a ProContinental team (Endura Racing) and missing several weeks of racing because of injury, Britain's latest discovery, Jonathan Tiernan-Locke, won four European stages races this year: the Mediterranean Tour and Tour du Haut Var in February, the Tour Alsace in July, and the Tour of Britain in September. All this at age 27 after missing three complete seasons because of the Epstein-Barr virus. His reward is a contract with Team Sky for 2013.
U for USADA. What could never be proven by hundreds of anti-doping tests was revealed in the testimonies of a dozen former U.S. Postal Service teammates in an investigation conducted by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency: Lance Armstrong used banned drugs and blood-doped for a decade when he was clocking up all those Tour de France wins. The investigation was masterminded by USADA CEO Travis Tygart, an attorney, who homed in on America's iconic champion after May 2010, when Armstrong's one-time colleague Floyd Landis began to spill the beans about doping within the former U.S. team.
V for Vos. Still only 25, Dutch phenom Marianne Vos carried all before her in 2012. Not only did she win the world cyclo-cross championship for the fourth consecutive year, but she also won the UCI World Cup for a fourth time (along with three rounds of the premier women's competition), retained her title in the women's Giro d'Italia (including five stage wins), and then won gold in a brilliantly exciting edition of the Olympic road race. Vos capped her season with a solo victory in the world road championship—after five consecutive years of silver medals!
W for Wiggins. Team Sky's Bradley Wiggins became the first British rider to win the Tour de France, and he did it in the style of five-time champions Jacques Anquetil and Miguel Induráin: by winning the long time trials and defending the yellow jersey in the mountains. But the 32-year-old Brit's 2012 season wasn't just about the Tour. He preceded it by becoming the first man to win Paris-Nice, the Tour de Romandie and Critérium du Dauphiné stage races in the same year, and he capped it by winning the Olympic time trial to add to the three pursuit golds he won at previous Games and his six world track titles from his pre-road career.
X for Xu. Winner of the Chinese national road championship, the Champion System team's Xu Gang, 28, raced from February to November in his first season as a ProContinental team rider. Besides winning his national title, Xu finished no less than 11 international stage races: the Tours of Qatar, Oman, Taiwan, Japan, Qinghai Lake, Utah, China I and China II, Beijing, Hainan and Taihu Lake! He cracked the top 20 in Taiwan, Japan and China I.
Y for Yates. British cycling Hall-of-Famer Sean Yates crowned his management career by leading Wiggins and Chris Froome to their unprecedented 1-2 finish at the Tour de France. That added to his own Tour career as a rider when he won a time trial stage in 1988 and wore the yellow jersey for a day in 1994. Yates, 52, announced his retirement from cycling in October because of health problems (he has suffered from heart irregularities for several years) and not because of Team Sky's new zero-tolerance policy (Yates had an A-sample test positive after a Belgian race in 1989, but the B-sample was negative).
Z for Zabel. No, not Erik Zabel, the winner of six Tour de France green jerseys, four editions of Milan-San Remo and three Paris-Tours, but his 18-year-old son Rick Zabel who began his under-23 career this year with the Rabobank Continental squad. His 2012 highlights were winning the German national U23 road title and placing second to Belgian pro Kevin Claeys in the Ronde van Limburg, a 190-kilometer Belgian semi-classic with a 1.2 rating in the UCI Europe Tour.

Tuesdays with Wilcockson: Doping on my mind, Part II
September 18, 2012 by John Wilcockson
Filed under Mind
Tuesdays with Wilcockson
In last week's column, I began to trace my journey in cycling from the 1960s, first as a racer then a writer, in connection with the sport's escalating problems with illicit drugs. This week, I'll continue the story from where I broke off, at the 1998 Tour de France, when the French team Festina was thrown out for organized doping. What the Festina Affair revealed was the degree to which EPO had transformed cycling in the worst possible way.
"Before EPO," the 1988 Giro d'Italia champion Andy Hampsten told me, "we knew we were always racing against guys on drugs, but I don't think those drugs gave them more of an advantage than the advantage we had knowing they're gonna come crashing down. We didn't lose energy worrying about what other people were doing; we just focused on ourselves, and we didn't need to win every race."
That "higher ground" attitude of Hampsten's American team, Motorola, began to change in 1994. "There was a lot of grumbling on the team," Hampsten said, "and we did get technical data from team doctor Massimo Testa because he'd talk to his colleagues on other teams. He was always straight with me. 'Sure enough,' he said, 'if so-and-so who you raced with for eight years and you always dropped on the climbs, if that guy's beating you now, his hematocrit is 15 points higher, and he's gonna kill you in the mountains.'"
Because the new drug couldn't be detected in anti-doping tests, no one knew for certain who was using EPO—and riders kept that secret to themselves. So, for the best part of a decade, until the Festina Affair, rumors were the only source of what was happening in the peloton. And rumors, without any corroborative evidence, were not things that professional journalists could write about. And when we did ask questions about doping those questions were sidestepped more often than not.
The situation began to change slightly in 1997 when the UCI mandated a maximum hematocrit level of 50 percent. Cyclists who tested above that level were not allowed to compete for at least two weeks, or until their red-blood-cell count returned to a "normal" level. But that couldn't be translated into knowing a rider had used EPO. In any case, the new "health" regulation was a tiny deterrent because riders soon learned how to use portable centrifuges to test their own blood and keep the hematocrit level below 50—or so it was rumored.
The full extent of doping in the 1990s didn't emerge until well after the Festina team was busted. First came the 1999 tell-all book, "Massacre à la Chaîne," by soigneur Willy Voet who was fined and given a suspended prison sentence for his part in the Festina Affair. He wrote the book with French journalist Pierre Ballester, who worked for the Paris sports newspaper, L'Équipe, whose writers were just as shocked as everyone by the Festina Affair, the subsequent revelations in Voet's book and the facts that later emerged in French courtrooms.
Testimonies at a December 2000 tribunal, which investigated the inner workings of the Festina team, showed that the French squad had engaged in organized doping since 1993. Prior to that year's Tour de France, the tribunal's report states, "the team riders who had yet to use EPO were growing impatient to get access to it several days before the start…. The main reason had to be that other teams were already administering this substance."
Luc Leblanc, a French leader of the Festina team, admitted he used EPO in 1994 at the Vuelta a España and Tour de France, but he denied that EPO helped him win that year's UCI world road title. But another witness, who worked for the team throughout the 1990s, testified that "all the Festina team riders at the 1994 world championships were given the same preparation: EPO with supplements. Luc did the same as everyone else."
Riders entering the sport at that time were faced with a much more difficult decision than my racing peers had faced in the 1960s, when popping speed or getting injections of bull's blood might have given riders a psychological edge but not much of a physical one. The dilemma in the '90s for new professionals was to accept the use of EPO or risk never making the grade. That's what Tyler Hamilton says made him begin doping in 1996, according to his new autobiography, "The Secret Race," written with former Outside magazine journalist Dan Coyle.
Hamilton's decision to use EPO coincided with his small American team, Montgomery-Bell, getting title sponsorship from the U.S. Postal Service that allowed them to start racing in Europe. By coincidence, I bumped into Hamilton on a flight back from Brussels to the U.S. in April 1996. I'd been reporting the spring classics for VeloNews, and Hamilton, then 25 and in his second year as a pro, told me about events he and the team had raced in the Netherlands, including his winning the Teleflex Toer stage race. Obviously, he didn't say anything about EPO.
Like most other cycling journalists, I saw Hamilton—who majored in economics at the University of Colorado prior to turning pro—as part of a new generation of young riders from North America who were not polluted by Europe's doping culture. Clean cut and quietly spoken, Hamilton seemed to be too smart to risk his health by doping, especially with the litany of dugs that appeared to be necessary to maximize the use of EPO.
As a sports journalist, you have to draw a fine line between writing about an athlete's accomplishments and getting to know him (or her) through interviews and chats at races so that you can put those performances in perspective. Having had friendly working relationships with most of the sport's successful modern "Anglo" riders—from pioneers Phil Anderson and Jonathan Boyer, followed by Steve Bauer, Greg LeMond, Robert Millar, Sean Kelly and Sean Yates, along with Andy Hampsten, Allan Peiper, Davis Phinney, Stephen Roche and many others—it seemed natural that I should do the same with the next wave, led by Lance Armstrong, Hamilton, George Hincapie, Chris Horner, Bobby Julich, Levi Leipheimer, Kevin Livingston, Fred Rodriguez and Christian Vande Velde.
It was difficult not to like all these guys. They were all young, intelligent and ambitious. And they were all making their mark in pro racing. When you did a one-on-one interview with those American cyclists you expected them to be truthful. That was the case in nearly all aspects of what they said about their lives, their training and their races—and you hoped it was true when they condemned doping and dopers.
Hamilton says in his book that he lied about his doping practices, even with his close friends and family. He was not the only one. I will write more about doping next week, but for now I'll end with a quote from Brian Holm, now a highly regarded directeur sportif with Omega Pharma-Quick Step. The Dane wrote about his 13 years as a pro cyclist in his 2002 autobiography, in which he admitted to doping, just as Hamilton has today.
After Holm and many of his counterparts elaborated on their use of EPO at the Deutsche Telekom team, he said this to a Danish publication: "When I turned pro there was not that much talk about doping…and finally it was so normal that no-one thought it was illegal anymore. Many from my generation say that they were never doped, just as I said myself for a long time, because you thought that it really wasn't doping or cheating. I actually think I could have passed a lie-detector test when I stopped my pro cycling career [in 1998], because I was convinced I was clean. It is only years later that you start realizing that it may not have been the case after all. It had become such a big part of your daily routine."

Tuesdays with Wilcockson: A Brit versus the Vuelta armada
Observers at the 67th Vuelta a España may be premature in writing off the chances of Great Britain's Chris Froome. They say that in the 11 stages that remain he won't be able to withstand the attacks of his three Spanish rivals, former Vuelta winners Alberto Contador and Alejandro Valverde, and this year's Giro d'Italia runner-up Joaquim Rodriguez. Froome faces a stiff task, and history does show that it's very difficult for a foreigner to beat the Spanish on their own turf, but if anyone can succeed it's the talented 27-year-old Englishman raised in Kenya and South Africa.
At the 2011 Vuelta, Froome just lost to the upstart Spaniard Juanjo Cobo, who held a tiny lead over Froome, never more than 20 seconds, over the final week—partly thanks to the tacit help of the other home teams. That "assistance" was far more pronounced a quarter-century ago when the last Brit to get close to victory at the Vuelta, Scottish climber Robert Millar, was runner-up to Spanish riders in both 1985 and 1986.
I was fortunate (if that's the right word) to witness Millar's unbelievable (that is the right word) loss to Spaniard Pedro Delgado at the '85 Vuelta. Millar had ridden a great Vuelta and strong final time trial and was the solid race leader starting the final stage. My story of that sensational stage is too long to reproduce here, but it suffices to say that Delgado began that May day in the climbs north of Madrid in fifth place overall more than six minutes behind the Brit, and that a combination of bad weather in the mountains (cold rain, hail and wet snow), poor team direction, fatigued teammates, lack of time checks and a blatant coalition of Spanish teams handed the stage win to local rider José Recio and the final victory to Delgado after a long, two-man breakaway.
Race organizing, team structures and information technology have changed enormously since those days, but partisanship and collusion among friends can be just as pronounced as they were when Millar twice lost the Vuelta to intrinsically lesser riders. As Froome said on Monday's rest day this week: "Since the start, my competitors haven't given me any gifts and I don't expect to get any."
Besides the strong opposition he's facing, Froome could be suffering from race overload after the Tour de France (where he was second to Sky teammate Brad Wiggins), and the London Olympics (where he raced to a standstill in the road race and medaled in the time trial). As evidence of his fatigue, critics point to moments of weakness that Froome experienced on each of the two summit finishes over the weekend. But a closer look at his and his three Spanish rivals' performances through the Vuelta's first week reveals a potentially different story.
Last week's uphill finishes seemed sure to give an early verdict on who would be the strongest contenders, but there were other factors at play: a 100-degree heat wave blanketing northern Spain, fierce crosswinds on the plains preceding the climbs, the varying strengths of the teams at this ultra-mountainous Vuelta, and the psychological states of the top candidates for victory—notably Alberto Contador.
All of Spain is hoping that Contador can put his controversial two-year drugs ban behind him and win this first Grand Tour since his suspension ended earlier this month. With the expectation of a nation and the need to prove himself, Contador was clearly anxious on the initial summit finish last Monday. His frenetic, out-of the-saddle accelerations up the ruggedly steep 5.5-kilometer Alto de Arrate resembled his pre-suspension climbing style, but the Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank team leader couldn't shake the opposition even with a half-dozen attacks.
The anxious Contador tried again the next day on the steepest (early) section of the 13-kilometer Valdezcaray climb. This time, just Froome and an ambitious Nicolas Roche were able to go with him; but it was an injudicious tactic given the unfavorable winds blowing on the upper, less-steep slopes. In the past, Contador wouldn't have been so impetuous. He would have planned his attacks more meticulously and, on each of those stages, he would have needed just one sharp acceleration to leave the rest in his wake.
Anxiety to please the public was one part of the Spanish superstar's failure to win on the early summit finishes, but poor team tactics and the debilitating temperatures were just as important in his significant loss to Rodriguez and Froome to the stage 6 finish at Jaca. Contador made four of his Saxo teammates race flat out on the downhill approach to Jaca, but as soon as the climb began he started cramping and realized he'd played into his rivals' hands.
Showing immense determination, Team Sky's two Colombian climbing prodigies, Sergio Henao and Rigoberto Uran, raced so fast on the short, switchback climb to Jaca's ancient fortress that Valverde later described it as more like the finish of a sprint stage! When the two Colombians peeled away to launch Froome on a final-kilometer charge, neither Valverde nor Contador could follow the pace. Only Rodriguez stayed on the Brit's wheel, and then out-sprinted him for the stage win, earning him the 12-second time bonus and the leader's red jersey.
Froome and his Sky cohort attempted to replicate their Thursday tactics on Saturday's much tougher stage finish on the 5,085-foot (1,550-meter) Collada de la Gallina in the Pyrenees of Andorra. At 7 kilometers, it was twice as long as the one at Jaca, but Sky's team director for the Vuelta, Marcus Ljungqvist, gave Henao and Uran the same orders to raise the pace from the start of the climb. So when the Colombian pair had done their damage and gave way to an attack by Froome, he still had the hardest part of the climb to complete: 3 kilometers tilting up gradients as steep as 15 percent.
Froome had never seen the climb before and that lack of knowledge worked against him more than his alleged fatigue. When he accelerated, only Contador followed him, while their two rivals held back. The Katusha team's Rodriguez is a resident of the Catalan region and spends much of his year in Andorra and knew the Gallina climb intimately; and he told his friend and Movistar team leader Valverde that the pace was too high to maintain all the way to the line.
That was confirmed when Froome couldn't get Contador to help him and the Brit virtually sat up before the multi-time Tour winner counterattacked in his former style. Contador's Saxo team boss Bjarne Riis believed that Contador was going to win the stage, but even the Spanish phenom struggled at the end, shifted down and tried to spin his way to the finish, only to be overtaken just before the line by the more patient and stage-savvy Valverde and Rodriguez.
Froome was the victim that day of his poor team tactics (would they have been better if Sky's top sports director Sean Yates was present?), the work he'd done unnecessarily to help Sky sprinter Ben Swift on the flat stages, and his rivals' connivance. "The climb was really hard," Froome later said, "and this battle against three such strong rivals was incredible." But does he think he's riding against a coalition of the Spanish trio and their teams? "I don't think about a fight against the three," he said, "but a fight against three weeks. To do two grand tours [back to back] is a new experience for me."
Perhaps it was not knowing his physical limits of racing constantly at such a light level, or simply not knowing the course layout, that saw Froome have a hard time staying with the front group on Sunday's tricky stage finish above the Mediterranean port of Barcelona. Barcelona is the hometown of race leader Rodriguez, so after Contador made the mistake of jumping too early on the little Alto de Montjuic hill 4 kilometers from the line, Rodriguez waited until a steeper, narrow section to counterattack, which only BMC Racing's Philippe Gilbert could answer. Those two combined forces on the fast descent and then sprinted up the final uphill kilometer (with Gilbert taking his first win of the season), nine seconds ahead of a Valverde chase group and 12 seconds ahead of the Contador-Froome peloton.
With the crucial 39.4-kilometer time trial coming up on Wednesday in Galicia, Rodriguez has a 53-second lead on Froome, a minute on Contador and 1:07 on Valverde. Those four are a minute clear of their only potential challenger, Dutchman Robert Gesink, who has his Rabobank teammates Laurens Ten Dam and Bauke Mollema for company in the top 10.
But after the Vuelta's one time trial, which Froome has to ace to stand a chance of winning overall, the outcome will likely rest with the relative strengths of the four leaders' teams. Unlike that bygone era when Millar (racing for a French team) came up against an armada of Spanish riders leading Spanish teams, Froome and his British squad face Rodriguez on a Russian-sponsored team and Contador on a Danish-based outfit. Only Valverde is on a Spanish team, but with Rodriguez as a friend and Contador the most influential rider in Spain, the home forces may stop the Brit from winning the Vuelta for a second year running.

The Wish List
For most of the last 40-odd years I've been on the planet my mother has asked me for a Christmas wish list. I've obliged each and every year, though the results have not always been satisfying. My mom has this belief that if I received everything on my list, the experience would be dissatisfying, a Christmas-day letdown due to the utter lack of surprise. Naturally, I took exception with this, "Let me find out how dissatisfied I'd be."
As an adult, most of the things I really want I don't expect my parents to provide for me at Christmas, so my requests don't have the urgency you would expect to find in a 14-year-old wishing for a slot-car track.
Even now, I still have my wishes. I don't expect most of these to take place, but as this is the season of wanting, I figured I'd get these out of the way before I go shopping for toys for my son that I think will be fun.
I want YouTube clips of Champion riding in the Triplets of Belleville.
I want a 13-lb. steel bike that is reliable and turns heads the way a Ferrari does.
I want a Richard Sachs. Now.
I want a week of riding and wine in Sonoma County.
I want to climb all the 2000-meter cols in France. Then Italy.
I want to ride la Marmotte and l'Eroica.
I want a contract with Chronicle Books.
I want Dick Pound to shut up.
I want to climb 6-percent grades in my 53×19 like I used to.
I want to go for a ride with Eddy Merckx.
I want to hug Paolo Bettini's mama.
I want to have a conversation in French with Bernard Hinault.
I want a 2-ounce camera with a Leica lens that shoots 20 megapixel images to take on rides. And a strap that makes it impossible to drop.
I want to drive to races in a Citroen 2CV that can't break down.
I want to retire in the Cote d'Azur.
I want to know which drugs Jan Ullrich didn't take.
I want to descend like Sean Yates did.
I want a chain I don't have to clean.
I want 320tpi tubulars that don't flat.
I want Alberto Contador to come clean.
I want 26 hours in a day and the ability to multi-task effectively so that I can work more hours each and play with my son while concentrating as I write a new post for RKP.
I want to wear PRO-style long socks and not get an effed-up tan line.
I want to race Killington again.
I want the metabolism of a 14 year old.
I want a responsible organization to replace the UCI.
I want a time machine so I can be 25 again, but this time I would train seriously.
I want to win a mountain stage of the Tour de France.
Oh hell, I want to be the greatest cyclist ever.
Understanding the 2011 Giro d'Italia Route
The stage over Monte Zoncolan would be tough even if you didn't have to ride the next day.
I've spent the last four days looking at the Giro route for 2011, attempting to digest it like a 40-oz. steak—something larger than can be tackled at a single sitting. Looking back at previous editions of both the Giro and the Tour, I have never encountered a Grand Tour more deliberately designed to do nothing so much as find the world's finest climber.
Let's take a moment to look at the profiles of the pivotal mountain stages:
Stage 9Stage 13Stage 14Stage 15Stage 16Stage 17
Only two short years ago the Giro featured seven mountain stages, the same as what is claimed for the 2011 Giro. However, in 2009, only four stages finished on mountain tops, whereas in 2011 all seven will finish atop mountains. By any estimation, this will be the hardest Giro in a generation.
Chances are, what you most recall about the route announcement is hardman Sean Yates' oft-quoted pronouncement that the Giro route is "savage." I hadn't previously considered Yates' gift for understatement.
Let's put this in perspective: The Giro route, at 3498km, spends almost two thirds of its kilometers—2199 of them—on courses that are anything but flat. More mass-start stages finish uphill than on flat courses. And while the route has generally been reported to have seven mountain-top finishes, the uphill time trial from Belluno to Nevegal really can't be called anything other than a mountain stage.
But wait, there's more! In addition to the Ginsu knife you get stages such as the Giro's longest stage, some 246km from Feltre to Sondrio. While this little jaunt is called a "mixed stage" or in Tour terminology it would be known as a medium mountain stage, it features roughly as much climbing as the Tour of Lombardy.
Eight of the final nine stages are mountainous. Four stages in a row finish uphill, the last of those being the time trial up Nevegal. The only non-mountain stage of those final nine stages is the individual time trial that ends the race in Milan. Think about it: after eight days in the mountains interrupted by only one rest day, the race finishes with an individual time trial. Fully 10 days with no chance to hide.
Seriously, though, calling the 2011 Giro d'Italia "savage" is like saying war is a messy business. Savage doesn't begin to get at just how incomprehensibly difficult this Grand Tour will be. Truly, this one can be called cruel. If the time limits are enforced to the letter of the law, cumulative fatigue could easily see two-thirds of the field eliminated. Add in crashes and illness and this Giro could see fewer than 50 finishers.
For those who want exciting racing, this Giro is likely to do one of two things: Either it will feature daily detonations that see pink jersey wearers and wannabes crushed like Tess of the d'Urbervilles, or some of the best riders in the world will ride so conservatively that we see what amounts to a recovery ride up Monte Zoncolan.
There are plenty cycling fans will take this route as evidence that the Giro is the better, tougher, more inventive race. In the Tour's defense, we should note that being #1 always confers a degree of conservatism with it. Overcoming being #2 requires both ambition and invention, which is why we see a greater willingness for RCS to mess with the formula of the Giro.
You may recall that in some quarters a suggestion has been made that the Grand Tours are too difficult, that the courses of the Grand Tours are so difficult that riders are effectively forced to dope just to survive. While we may not be open to this criticism if it comes out of Pat McQuaid's mouth, it is no less worth considering.
Those of you who followed the Grand Tours before the age of EPO may recall the stories that riders like Bob Roll would tell about how the first four hours of a stage would be ridden piano, and then when the TV helicopters arrived, the riders would crank up the pace to make a show for the viewers for the final hour of racing.
Let's be honest about what we want. We want to see riders go out and crush it on each of the mountain stages. We want to see guys attacking at threshold, other guys detonating in floods of lactic acid and in every instance a small group of favorites sprinting for the finish. The last thing in the world we want is for the peloton to ride the first two climbs of a three climb day in their 39x25s and passing bidons like a flask of Jack Daniels at a Cowboys' game.
Addition is to last year's course what calculus is to this year's course. Even suggesting a course like this is to invite speculation about what might be too difficult, too demanding. But that's not the issue, not directly. The real issue is that a course such as this invites doping, does it not? While even the garden-variety PRO is orders of magnitude stronger than the best amateur racer, knowing what we know of the practices and the requirements involved in doping, can anyone reasonably suggest that the winner of this race would be above suspicion for doping? Heck, wouldn't you venture to think that anyone who even finishes this race would be on something stronger than ox blood? There isn't enough Red Bull in Europe to get a guy through this course.
Ritchey Logic WCS Carbon Curve
I wish wrapping handlebars was easier or that I was less lazy. There. It's out. Now I can begin recovery. I'm such a nerd for ergonomics and comfort that if adjusting handlebar and lever position was anywhere near as simple as say, adjusting saddle position, I could spend whole weekends playing with lever and bar position.
In truth, while I do a very pro job of wrapping a bar, once I have taped the cables in place, I really don't want to make any further adjustments. Like I said, I'm lazy and it's too much work.
I'll mount a bar, position the levers where I think they need to be and then go ride around my neighborhood for a minute with the cable housing flapping in the wind. When I roll back to the garage I might adjust the roll of the bar or the height of the levers, but once I tape down the cable housing, those levers aren't moving another millimeter.
I love to look at how the pros set up their bars; I've seen some pretty surprising stuff. It used to be that the bottom edge of a lever was in plane with the bottom of a bar. Always. And the bottom of the bar was parallel to the ground. When I first learned to ride and work on bikes, I saw countless bikes set up just like Richard Virenque's is above. It would be more than 20 years before I considered that other positions might increase my comfort. Eventually, you started seeing guys like Lance Armstrong roll the traditional bend bar up just a bit.
In the mid-1990s I saw Sean Yates' bar rolled down. It seemed physically impossible for him to put his hands on the levers the way they were positioned. Later, in 2002, Johan Musseuw's bar was positioned crazy low and the levers were rolled up so high they seemed just as impossible to put your hands on the hoods. Then I noticed how when he did place his hands on the hoods, there was no bend at the wrist. The combination of how bar and relatively short reach made the lever position workable.
The new Ritchey Logic WCS Carbon Curve bar gave me a chance to experiment with just what works best for me with a compact bar. The short/shallow bar is to the 2010s what the anatomic bar was to the 1990s. I haven't been super-sold on the new shape for a few reasons.
My first reservation is the mindset that led to the bar's design. It came about from riders getting rid of all the spacers between the headset and the stem and then realizing that riding in the drops wasn't too comfortable. The solution? Give the bar less drop.
Many years ago some very experienced riders taught me that if you run a deep-drop bar fairly high you can maintain a flat back when in the drops and still enjoy a rather upright position for maximum climbing power when on the bar top. It's one of the reasons I like the FSA K-Wing bar so much. But enough of that.
Little known fact: The compact bars on the market almost all feature a 128mm drop. Traditional bend bars, which to me are as comfortable as trying to wear a child's shoes, are still surprisingly prevalent in the pro peloton and feature a 130mm drop—just 2mm difference. Reach on traditional bend bars is usually in the 87-88mm range, about 3mm more than most compact bars. So, on paper they don't seem to different, but in practice, the difference in curve makes the difference in fit and comfort dramatic.
The Ritchey Logic WCS Carbon Curve bar I reviewed had a 31.8mm clamping diameter and a 42cm (c-c) width. Advertised weight is 206g and my bar weighed in at 208g. Pretty stinkin' close.
To try to squeeze a little extra reach out of compact bars and to position my hand in the flattest portion of the drop, I roll them out until the reach is parallel to the ground. This seems to be a fairly common way to position based on what I've seen in the pro peloton.
Little known fact #2: Fabian Cancellara rode a compact bar on his bike in both Flanders and Roubaix. Go figure. Had I not seen it, I'd have assumed he would ride a deep drop bar, in part just because he's so flexible.
For those of you who are still riding aluminum bars I can't stress just how much a carbon fiber bar increases comfort for the hands by damping vibration that would otherwise travel through an aluminum bar. I really don't ever want to have to ride an aluminum bar ever again. Which means I need to do something about the bar on my 'cross bike.
In reviewing this Ritchey bar I realized that I've ridden at least four different compact bars and while I thought that the shape of the drop was virtually identical from manufacturer to manufacturer (at least, it was really close on the first three), the decreasing radius bend (the bend gets tighter the closer you get to the levers) of the bar is more comfortable to my hand than any of the others I've tried. The lesson: Not all compact bars are created equal.
The stunning spread of carbon fiber to nearly every component on the bike and its accordant inflation of the cost of every single bike component in which it is used is nothing to cheer about. It's how we went from $5000 bikes to $10,000 bikes in 10 years. So while I'm not wild about spending $284.95 for a bar, the Carbon Curve is lighter, stiffer, stronger and more comfortable than an aluminum bar. It is an F1 car competing against a Jeep Cherokee.

About Me Budget Shopper
Comments about Medallion Bedspread Collection:
My poor friend has been complaining of hot flashes, taking off the covers, putting them on, etc. so I thought perhaps an all-cotton blanket would be just the thing for her. She loves it! I am placing another order today for a 2nd one because her husband also likes the blanket and wants one for himself.

Trying to find a bedspread is very difficult, retailers all carry comforters! Needless to say I was pleased to find your product. I have extra long twin beds and the fabric is very generous.

Unique to Pacifica
For students in the M.A. Humanities and the Creative Life program, the final project culminates in a creative project. The creative project is different for each student. No two projects are the same. To give prospectives an idea of the types of projects that students present please visit the Humanities student portfolio page.
This past summer in the course titled "Time, Place, Space, and the Ecology of Creative Expression," students looked at the myths, evolutionary theory, philosophy and art that reinforce and challenge assumptions that divide human culture from non-human nature. The short form genre of haiku poetry became a particular focus for the program's key method of blending research and artistic practice. We invite you to explore the creative class project that culminated from the course on the Humanities haiku webpage.
For more information about the M.A. Humanities and the Creative Life program consider attending a One-Day Introduction to Pacifica or speaking with an admissions counselor.

The juiciest passage in the Wall Street Journal's behind-the-scenes report on the "fiscal cliff" negotiations comes when House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, asks President Obama whether he can have the deal he rejected in 2011.
"You missed your opportunity on that," the president replied.But the most important insight into the White House's strategic thinking comes when Boehner says, "I put $800 billion [in tax revenue] on the table. What do I get for that?"Obama's response is cold and telling. "You get nothing," the president said. "I get that for free."That is the central fact of negotiations for the Democrats and the central problem for the Republicans. At the end of this year, more than $5 trillion in scheduled tax increases begin. But the White House doesn't believe that's real revenue. Democrats in Congress won't permit that kind of a tax increase on ordinary Americans. The White House won't permit that kind of a tax increase on ordinary Americans.But they're certain they can hold on to almost $800 billion of it. The Senate already passed a bill letting the Bush tax cuts lapse for income over $250,000. That bill is very popular.The White House expects that if we go over the cliff, the House will have to pass that bill, too, and the president would have little choice but to sign it. That bill raises taxes by a bit more than $700 billion, which is less than the $1.6 trillion the White House wants. But that $700 billion, to the White House, is the baseline: If they get nothing else, they will certainly get that.That's why Boehner's offer of $800 billion doesn't impress. The White House already has $700 billion in the bank, as it sees things. The reason to negotiate with Boehner is that an agreement with him could, in theory, push that number well above $1 trillion while stabilizing the debt and avoiding the economic pain of falling off the fiscal cliff. But there's no reason to cut a deal with Boehner in which the White House gives up spending cuts in order to get a tax increase it can have anyway.The talk now is about a "small deal." That would be likely to include the Senate tax bill, some policy to turn off at least the defense side of the sequester and a handful of other policies to blunt or delay various parts of the fiscal cliff.That's not a very good deal for the short-term health of the economy. But it could lead, in the end, to much more revenue than a "big deal" now.Here's how it would go. Some time in the next month or so, the small deal would pass and the White House would pocket that $700 billion-plus in tax revenue.But pressure would quickly mount to strike a larger deal, because there would be another fiscal cliff coming and because the debt ceiling would need to be raised.The White House would insist that the next deal includes a 1-to-1 ratio of tax increases -- all of which could come through Republican-friendly tax reform -- to spending cuts. A subsequent deal that included $600 billion or $700 billion in spending cuts would also include $600 billion or $700 billion in tax increases, leading to total new revenue in the range of $1.2 trillion to $1.4 trillion.There is precedent for this. After the 2010 midterm elections, Republicans forced the passage of the Budget Control Act, which included more than $1 trillion in spending cuts and no offsetting tax increases. They've subsequently refused to count those cuts toward any future deals. If the president, after winning the 2012 election, pocketed $700 billion in tax increases and insisted that revenue was unrelated to the next negotiation, he'd simply be following Boehner's lead.All of which is to say that if Boehner had taken the White House's deal in 2011, he could've stopped the tax increase at $800 billion. If he took its most recent deal, he could stop it at $1.2 trillion. But if he insists on adding another round to the negotiations -- one likely to come after the White House pockets $700 billion in tax increases -- any deal in which he gets the entitlement cuts he wants is going to mean a deal in which he accepts even more tax increases than the White House is currently demanding.Today, Boehner wishes he'd taken the deal the president offered him in 2011. A year from now, he might wish he'd taken the deal the president offered him in 2012.Ezra Klein is a columnist at The Washington Post.Have more to add? News tip? Tell us

Decreasing Returns on Social Security
Anyone with a money market account or mutual fund knows, that return on investment is down across the board. Although many Americans do not consider Social Security an investment, it is the foundation of retirement funding for most people in this country. What once was a great deal for elderly workers is no longer the case. In the past, workers paid far less in Social Security taxes, so they often received more back than they paid in.
According to a recent article by the Associated Press, a worker who retired in 1960 could expect to receive seven times what they paid in to the system as long as they lived to 78. Since the 1990's high income earners have been receiving less than they have paid in because of the progressive structure of Social Security. Now more middle-income earners are in the same situation. A typical middle income couple that both contributed to the system will not receive the amount they paid into the system unless they continue to collect benefits beyond 85. The problem is occurring because of fewer workers contributing compared to the amount of retirees receiving benefits. Currently, there are only 2.8 workers contributing for each retiree.
This budget problem affects Social Security Disability payments as well since those payments are funded from the same source. Several factors have stressed that system including the aging of baby boomers, slowing of the economy, and the increase of women in the workforce. For more detail see our Social Security disability informational news blog.

Buy now or wait...
I am looking at upgrading on the first weekend in February and need input.
I currently have a Galaxy S3 that has some minor damage(volume button doesn't work.) So, I do not have an upgrade on my plan, but have options to use another person's upgrade.
So, for those of you with the Note 2 on ATT, should I buy now, or just wait to see the S4?
S4 with Spen would be awesome, but it may not happen. Then I am waiting until next Fall for Note 3 or buying a phone 7 months after it came out.
Thanks for the advice!

The note 2 is awesome. Its the phone that made me switch from iphone 5.
However, the s4 should be announced in march or sooner. I would wait. I doubt it will have an s pen. Thats exclusive to the note series I believe. Its only a month or so to wait. Plus the note 3 will probably come out in October. If you can afford these kinds of phones do you really want a phone that will soon be replaced by a better version of the same phone?

Re: Buy now or wait...
At this point I would wait to see what happens at MWC in Feb. The Note 2 is sweet I must admit so if you know you want that go for it. Since you kept you S3 even after the Note 2 came out I would recommend waiting to see if the S4 is somthing you want to save your upgrade for. If not pull the trigger on the Note 2. I could not wait until the Note 3...The Note 2 is just a great phone/device!

Re: Buy now or wait...
Some of the rumors pegged an S Pen as part of the GS4. Not sure it will happen, but that is probably my biggest question.
Not sure I can wait for Note 3 either. May Just go ahead and pull the trigger now. Have my upgrade next January and can always sell the Note 2 then if the 3 is enticing enough. Should be close to covering the upgrade fee at the time...

Re: Buy now or wait...
Heres a thought. Craigslist or ebay your gs3 for as much as you can get and pay the difference to buy the note 2 outright. Thats what I did albeit I sold an iphone5 when they were fairly new so I got almost the purchase price of a note 2
This way you can upgrade whenever you want but at a way cheaper price.

Re: Buy now or wait...
If the phone is usable without driving you crazy, wait the three weeks. It will go by quickly. I also think the S4 won't have an Spen, but quad-core 1080p and some new features. Might be worth the wait. Otherwise, The Black Note 2 might be available right after too. win,win.

Re: Buy now or wait...
I would normally agree, but as I said, it does have some damage (volume button).
I think that is why I will pull the trigger. I can resell the Note 2 when I need to upgrade again.
I think I would rather have Note 2 with Spen than a GS4 without....

Re: Buy now or wait...
As a Note 2 owner I can say that I absolutely love this device.
Once you get used to the 5.5" screen there really is no going back.
I'll admit that I don't find myself using the S Pen often, though when I do I'm glad that I have it.
While the S4 is for sure going to be an amazing device I have reservations about its battery life given the 1080p resolution that it will be pushing.
Battery life on the Note 2 is great, can easily get two days of use on mine with pretty heavy use.
