What money exactly? You do remember that back when the current crisis started, the banks were broke, do you not? And you do remember Bush and Obama throwing a literal mountain of cash into bailouts to prop up the banks, do you not?
Now, banking is ironically enough based on the notion that you have to repay your loans (often with some interest), and assuming that the banks haven't paid back all the billions they've been handed, why is it wrong to make them do so? How is this kicking them when they are down, when it is thanks to Obama's bailouts that the banks still are in business in the first place?
Furthermore, it should be noted that all the big banks still paid as much in bonuses to their employees despite being literally broke, so perhaps there is some merit to the argument that the banks should be made to pay up. After all, what sense is there to funnel taxpayer dollars into the banks, only for all that cash to end up in the pockets of the bankers?
In fact, Obama should have simply bought the banks outright and cleaned them up instead of propping up a house of cards with money the US government doesn't have.
China? China isn't capitalist in any meaningful sense of the word. It has a mixed economy that has moved closer to a free market model, but the means of production are ultimately owned by the state, not by private operators.Originally Posted by Henchy432
Russia, on the other hand, fucked itself in the ass by switching to capitalism back in the early 90's, so I'm not sure what you're trying to prove with that point.
And finally the EU is not socialist. Where in the EU are the means of production collectively owned by the workers? I don't think you'll find many countries where this is true.
Then again, all this is quite besides the point, which was that Obama is in no way, shape or form a socialist politician.

Gainward GEFORCE GTX 680 2GB Phantom Video Card Review - Benchmarks - Test System Setup
Gainward expands the Phantom series with the new high-end GEFORCE GTX 680 from NVIDIA. We check the model out and see what this video card can do.
We would like to thank the following companies for supplying and supporting us with our test system hardware and equipment: Intel, ASUS and Corsair.
While nothing in our testbed has changed, we've expanded our testing a little more by expanding upon the AA / AF side of things. Where we would in the past test three games at one resolution, we're now testing five games at two resolutions.
We've been adding these results over the past few months to our graphs, but this is the first time we're implementing them in our reviews. Not all video cards have been tested in the new tests, but most have been. Increasing the AA line of benchmarking helps make sure we can apply more pressure to our video card setups today and make them work harder than ever, providing you a better representation of gaming performance.
As always, though, before we get into the testing side of things let's quickly cover the video cards that will be included in our benchmarks today. Along with the Gainward GTX 680 2GB Phantom, we've also got the GTX 670, GTX 680 and 4GB GTX 680 from Palit.
On the AMD side of things we've got the high-end HD 7950 and HD 7970 along with the older dual GPU offering from AMD the HD 6990 to help round out everything here.
Let's get started!
The FPS Numbers Explained
When we benchmark our video cards and look at the graphs, we aim to get to a certain level of FPS which we consider playable. While many may argue that the human eye can't see over 24 FPS or 30 FPS, any true gamer will tell you that as we climb higher in Frames Per Seconds (FPS), the overall gameplay feels smoother. There are three numbers we're looking out for when it comes to our benchmarks.
30 FPS - It's the minimum number we aim for when it comes to games. If you're not dropping below 30 FPS during games, you're going to have a nice and smooth gaming experience. The ideal situation is that even in a heavy fire fight, the minimum stays above 30 FPS making sure that you can continue to aim easily or turn the corner with no dramas.
60 FPS - It's the average we look for when we don't have a minimum coming at us. If we're getting an average of 60 FPS, we should have a minimum of 30 FPS or better and as mentioned above, it means we've got some smooth game play happening.
120 FPS - The new number that we've been hunting down over recent months. If you're the owner of a 120 Hz monitor, to get the most out of it you want to get around the 120 FPS mark. Moving from 60 FPS / 60 Hz to 120 FPS / 120 Hz brings with it a certain fluidity that can't really be explained, but instead has to be experienced. Of course, if you're buying a 120 Hz monitor to take advantage of 3D, an average of 120 FPS in our benchmark means that in 3D you will have an average of 60 FPS, which again means you should expect some smooth gameplay.

April 30th, just another day in my life,
Your heart beats faster with each breath,
Though I suspect this is because you\'re
poisoned by some crazy red, curved heart
on the pavement that says \"i love you\"
Yeah, I feel that way for you but that
doesn\'t mean you have to really act like
you appreciate it and the 12 roses I left
you by your apartment doorsteps each step
how deep they felt as I left my heart
next to the news of the world and a dead
mosquito with a blue and great abdomen with
red eyes (if you looked closely) still staring.
Now it\'s my turn to be lose my feelings in
a pond of algae and some unpredictable whirlpool of
emotions that you possess and throw about the
world with the dictatorship of an unstable
government. Red is the color of love and blood.
Red is the color of love and blood is no coincidence
I think. Late april showers are not likely to fall from
the sky and wash away the tears that will not roll down
your cheek and as my tears evaporated many years ago
in a broken hearted drought that never really ended
after discovering the intracacies of responsibility and
other useless discoveries that plague this ten stone sadness
and gravity of years that enslave me like a mountain blocking the sun
on my back to be placed on some tyrannical castle of someone
else\'s selfish and well-controlled desires. Between each
step at least life doesn\'t have much emphasis and in those
milliseconds lies a greater love that probably has more
charimatic entropy than the dead roses that\'ll be in the trash
in three days, browner than they were red; forgotten
more than they will ever be remembered.

Hollow Ichigo Super Saiyan 3 to the rescue!

Hollow Ichigo Super Saiyan 3 to the rescue!
Hair huh... nobody better make a super saiyan reference... >_>
What I meant is that Ishida fared pretty well compared to Ichigo. Ichigo got attacked and the next time we saw him he was out cold.
Ishida lost his hand but he is still conscious and standing, meaning he most likely could react fast enough to avoid the same fate Ichigo suffered.
Of course this is just basing it off the pictures. We don't really now how it happened (Ulqi could've attacked Orohime and Ishida lost his hand rescuing her, she saved him from receiving more damage etc).
He's not exactly in the same situation Ichigo was in so normally you I shouldn't compare them, but still. I found it worth mentioning that he's still standing.
And to be honest even if he still had his hand it wouldn't make much of a difference. It's not like he could actually hurt Ulqi.
If you fight someone with a weapon that has no effect on the enemy and you loose it (or the ability to wield it) you're not getting owned, really. You were owned from the beginning.
i think Ichigo is about to turn into a hollow or we are being privy to an inner-self visit.
So I guessing this is the same as when Ichigo fought Byakuya and when he got owned by Byakuya's bankai and kidou, his hollow side emerged and basically did all the damage to Byakuya, then Ichigo took control again and defeated him.
Ishida losing his arm is no big deal. Chad lost his right arm when the arrancar first. Orihime will probably heal it.
Another boring chapter, no surprize there that Ulquiorra would own everyone in there..
why Ishida is even delaying the chapter?
Why haven't Ulquiorra killed Orihime yet?
Well could be that
A demon who is his ancestor is taking control of him, to show how to fight...
Or we can adapt for bleach
a Hollow who is his acestor is taking control of him, to show him how to fight...
or better yet, a hollow-vasto lord...
And btw this ancestor probably vowed to NOT consume a human soul ever again... XD
I think it would be fun if hollow Ichigo kicks the crap out of Ulquiorra and then goes after byakuya and Kenpachi. Kenpachi would enjoy going crazy, and the Hollow could go round 2 with byakuya.
LOL at the YYH reference.
I think Ulquiorra likes Inoue too much to kill her. Would be nice to see those two mate to form some weird baby.
Orihime is just getting so damn annoying.
How about..
H. Ichigo is emerging because the seal in Ichigo's belly is starting to break up ... wev'e seen one-tails when Ichigo's in vizard training... this time it will be a four-tails , i mean, hair clumps.....

4.5 So good i played it through twice! Garfgeezer | 27/03/2012 | See all Garfgeezer's reviews (32) Really, this is about the best Lego game I have played so far! took me ages to complete one level in particular and was enjoyed so much by visiting friends another 4 were purchased by them and much multiplayer/split screen action ensued!Dare I say it - Even better than Star Wars
4.5 A Bit of a Let Down pauliedoodle | 20/05/2011 | See all pauliedoodle's reviews (1) I am a huge fan of the Lego games and have played every one but this one is my least favourite by far. Sure, it looks fantastic and the characters are great but the actual game is seriously flawed. I have had to re-do about four levels so far because characters I need to defeat haven't appeared, I've gotten wedged/ disappeared into scenery etc and I'm only on the second part.There are also a few levels where there are about five characters all following you around the level which grows extremely irritating when they start to get in your way. I found myself in the second level cheering on a crocodile every time it ate one of my crew mates just so I had one less character in my way.Overall I think if you are a Lego game fan like myself then you'll probably buy this game regardless but I definitely would not recommend it to a serious gamer because the flaws will drive you insane. Let's hope the Lego Game Programmers get their act together before Lego Harry Potter 2 is released!!
4.5 Best of the lot hotspur96 | 19/05/2011 | See all hotspur96's reviews (18) I Love this game i have played them all and this has to be the best one of the lot. It is a fun game to play 2 player is great fun. Jack Sparrows compass is a good inclusion and including the forth movie is a great, with it just released in cinemas they couldnt have done better with creating a new lego game
4.5 Addictive! Swizley | 18/05/2011 | See all Swizley's reviews (7) This is the first Lego game i have purchased and i think its amazing!. SO many characters to play with, all having different types of skill/power. The small things is what i love about this game, for example all the characters walk about, but Jack Sparrow has his 'drunken sway' walk. Shows the game makers have added the smallest details that P.O.T.C fans will appreciate and love :).I rate this 10/10 and it has made me now purchase Harry Potter Lego and Indiana Jones Lego :).
4.5 Great Improvement adj6883 | 17/05/2011 | See all adj6883's reviews (1) Really enjoyed this. The gameplay and levels are very well done and they have finally removed the "hub" worlds that were used in Harry Potter and Indy 2 (always crashed on the latter). The graphics have been improved too. Ashamed to say as an adult, that I've played all the lego games and this one ranks right up there!
4.5 excellent craigyboy301 | 14/05/2011 | See all craigyboy301's reviews (57) much better than harry potter and star wars they have improved it no end all 4 movies as well a must buy
4.5 Best Lego Game Shaymus56 | 14/05/2011 | See all Shaymus56's reviews (1) Really good game, advanced brilliantly since the first Lego Star Wars game. Loved it very much, great buy!

yeah I enjoyed running around TOA. All the zones had a nice feel to them, and the lore behind them was cool.
That's the whole point. You didn't HAVE to raid the top-tier SI dungeons. You could if you wanted to but you didn't lose significant RVR competitiveness if you didn't. The only thing in SI that was really "must have" was the quest necklace that you could get in like an hour or two. If I wanted to spend hours and hours farming and raiding in a PVE-focused MMO I would have stuck with EQ because EQ did that much better than DAOC ever did because it was built from the ground up to be that sort of MMO.
Storm legion looks cool but I don't think I can get myself to play Rift again. It was a fun game, though.
Ehh, probably depended on what class you were.. TG had 5.5 Delay and 5.7 delay weapons...that was superior to everything playermade at the time. Some of the Heal Proc Chest pieces were very nice as well.
Kunark was the better of the two for sure. Velious had some pretty serious design problems but it was still better as a high end PVE expansion than TOA was.
Very good expansion, I lvled my mage to 60 on one of the continents, I've not even touched the other one.
Those are both pretty minor boosts. Unless you did 1v1 (and again, that was totally retarded given how bad daoc's combat system was in 1v1) neither of those things would make a significant impact. If you tried 8v8ing without TOA against a team that had TOA gear and MLs they were going to wipe the floor with you if they were even marginally competent. It was a totally and completely different level of competitive advantage.
I think people are blaming Mark a bit too much for this. Consider that the only part the most hardcore Jacobs haters say they liked was the original game - which he was more involved with than anything after. After DAOC launched and became successful and nearly doubled the size of the team, do you think he had more or less involvement in design? The same thing happened to warhammer. Now, was it his fault for maybe delegating too much, etc etc - maybe. Possibly should have hired someone to run the business, kept ownership, and stayed lead designer. Then we'd know what he's all about. Overall, I am very interested, and I don't get why everyone is hating on kickstarter. Your money doesn't vanish. Please look up a few projects and see the rewards offered. It could be like.... $10 - free month of play (beyond initial 30 days) $25 - free DL of the game on launch $40 - free DL + beta access $60 - free physical copy + previous perks $100 - collector's edition box/etc, <collector's edition perks>, + previous $250 - Name an NPC, t-shirt + all previous perks IDK I'm not creative in that way. But some of the options end up really neat, depending on the project.
That's actually a fairly large boost on damage, going from 4.0 to 4.4 delay weapons was insane on my savage for example... just like going from 5.3 to 5.5 was as well. We actually fought teams that were heavily TOA back then when I was basically the only person with TOA'd gear..We still wrecked most of them fairly easily. I think the only time it became super tough was when you had the Battler Trains, Even then though I'd gotten 4.4 Delay Weapons and I could 3 shot a Hero that decided to run a 2 hander. The only thing that was truly scary with TOA when it came out was the Caster Groups before they nerfed the Casting Speed Bonus (you didn't need TOA gear either to get it, a lot of them made templates with random gear they found) 25% cast speed decrease was just insane...They'd instantly kill you.
Yeah but when they toned it down you could do master levels in no time. And now you can just buy the credit for them as well as any of the artifacts. I loved ToA and was even subjected to months of farming scrolls and a 13 hour master level 3 raid because of bugs and disconnects. Shrouded Isles was the one that sucked in certain ways. I loved the zones and classes but the loot was fucked up. A plate helm with charisma and intelligence on it? Who the hell is going to use that? And there were many more for example those crossed stats for Spiritmasters and Warriors, etc... I'll check this game out but the main Kickstarter game I am psyched for is Star Citizen.
Lol I just looked at the CSE site and the team bios for those working on Camelot Unchained are actually pretty funny. My favorite so far: Michelle Davies was kicked out of Second Life for swarming other players with an army of self-replicating Daleks that transformed into bouncing penises. The upside is that Second Life is safer now. The downside is that she's got nowhere left to send them but her first life.
Lol. You guys are funny. Acting like people weren't crying about not being able to compete in rvr before toa came out. Did we even play the same game? Before toa, people cried about.. OP realm abilitys OP high realm ranked players OP berserkers OP BD's OP Animists OP theurgists OP sorcs OP omg alb gets 3 stealth classes and one can mez and speed OP omg hib 9 second fucking stun OP mez timers OP TG/apoc gear and hib gets a dungeon they can barely ever complete it was so fucked up. ToA brought more content, what's wrong with that? Most people were 50 for a year or so, running tg/df every weekend crying about not being able to find a shitty pug to get rolled with in emain. They could do raids which would eventually give them rewards just for showing up (which was begged for) these gave them a chance to pve for abilitys/artys with abilitys that might make it a little more fair in rvr, but they sucked and cried about having to work at it instead of just pvping all the time (which they sucked at and could never do anyways). What chunk of the playerbase had their ml's/artys first? The hardcore pvp crowd.
I really, really hated farming for scrolls and leveling artifacts, but the upside, like Tych mentioned it was a good time to hang out in teamspeak and bullshit with guildmates and what not. At the time of ToA being released there were a lot of new people joining so it was an easy way to help them grab some levels and make some plat. I despised MLs, I only went to ML4 on my eldritch the raid way. I was that way until I could buy ML10 with bounty points. I did miss the 25% cast speed though. You could literally vaporize someone before they had a chance to react.
Did you quote your own meaningless rant just to draw attention to how meaningless it was? Of course DAOC had issues before TOA. Nobody said it didn't. DAOC RVR always had serious balance issues, especially in the beginning. But it wasn't unbalanced by gear advantage. You didn't feel like you had to invest dozens and dozens of hours farming gear until TOA came out. TOA took an RVR game without a strong gear focus and made it into a PVE grindfest. It was a horrible, horrible design decision.
What made ToA so bad wasn't the content it was the effect the gear had on RvR. ToA made gear much more important in RvR, and that gear was way harder to get. This resulted in a lot of casual players quitting because they couldn't compete with people who had the time to sit around and catch a raid for a specific encounter. Before if you never had time to raid epic mobs it just meant you wouldn't have the very best, but there were plenty of items that were good enough and easy to obtain by casual players. After ToA people with the time to raid through the content quickly had a huge advantage over the people who couldn't.
Populations in most MMOs go up after an expansion, but the long term effects of ToA are undeniable. Mythic created servers without ToA, and steadily worked to introduce items that were competitive with artifacts and easier to get with every expansion and periodic zone revamps. They also made it easier to get artifacts. ToA as released was bad for the game. Also, without real numbers I find it hard to believe the population increased "a crap ton" for a year.
Yeah, I know. ToA as it is now is fine. When I transferred my Valk over from classic I had more than enough BPs to outfit all my characters, and sell a ton for cash.
TOA created a short-term population boost. That is undeniable. But for the same reason it brought in new players (the PVE grindfest focus) in the long term it did a lot of damage to the game. When wow came out and did PVE so vastly much better a job of disguising the grind all the players who TOA brought in left for what was just a much better designed version of the same thing. The long-term effect of TOA was hugely negative. The devs literally spent the next 3+ years trying to fix what they fucked up in TOA. The game could still probably have been saved if they hadn't made a bunch of other bad decisions but TOA is definitely the biggest, worst decision that was made in DAOC.
I will say, as much as I hated ToA (for the above reasons...farm scrolls, having to find people that still needed ML "x" step whatever) I LOVED LotM. ToA had cool zones and some cool content, they just stupided it up with some of the earlier req's.
Population was well up for over a year after it was released, like i said, it wasn't until WoW that population dropped. As for Classic Servers, yes they did had high population after they were released, just like whenever MMO's release new servers, Same thing happened in UO for example with Catskills. It happened in DAOC as well early on with Mordred and Andred... and slowly but surely people left those servers. There is a reason the Classic Servers were merged, because they had very small amount of people after a while compared to the TOA servers.
They released 3 Expansions after TOA, Darkness Rising, Catacombs and LOTM....not to mention kept the game up to date quite a bit. TOA didn't do damage to DAOC, WoW did..
ToA would have been fine if it wasn't so heavy on the bugs and farming. Noone like farming.... ... I sure as hell don't at least. Thankfully I don't have to do that in GW2, just do an instance occasionally and I get tokens to trade for PVP suitable items. Or just trade in karma for a suit and what not.
If ToA hadn't been such a time sink it would have helped. There were a LOT of people who left because of ToA.
I remember DAOC being a ghost town after ToA. Not sure where you get these population numbers from but pretty much my entire guild bailed after they realized what a time sink it would be.
A. They've been listed on numerous websites, go look up population levels for MMO's in 2004 B. Mythic took a step further and allowed you to see population of the actual servers, so it was easy to keep track up. C. Your guild quitting doesn't mean the game lost population. It just means your guild quit.
Uh lots of people left because of TOA. The population went up for about a year but that doesn't mean that lots of people didn't leave because of TOA. People back before wow were much more patient than they are now because there weren't nearly as many MMOs on the market to jump ship to. I quit because of TOA but I still played for at least 6 months after TOA release. I know many other people like myself. We were hoping that some of the more awful parts of TOA would be addressed but they weren't. It wasn't until the population absolutely cratered that they realized how much they had fucked up and started removing the awful bits of TOA.

What the protesters miss is the fact that many of the most celebrated Israeli movies – last year's "Waltzing With Bashir," for example, or, reportedly, "Lebanon," which screened in Toronto after just winning the top prize in Venice – are far from doctrinaire and are among the most riven and politically complex in the world. Then, too, one wonders why no protests were launched in Toronto for films from such egalitarian regimes as, say, Iran or China?
In any case, the dust-up was good theater, with dozens of celebrity attendees, or their sympathizers, taking sides: In this corner, protesting City to City, we have Jane Fonda, Harry Belafonte, Danny Glover, Julie Christie, and Viggo Mortensen (who compounded the outrage by sporting a Montreal Canadiens hockey jersey in Toronto Maple Leaf country). In the far corner: Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Voight (Fonda's costar in "Coming Home"), Sacha Baron Cohen, and Oprah Winfrey – who was in town because she was executive producer for the film "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire" and who created a commotion in the streets bested only by the occasional drive-by appearances of the Jonas Brothers.

Travel Tips from people who've been to Tobago
The locals call it paradise and it's not far off. The airport is very close to the main tourist area, but don't let that put you off, most of the flights are small prop planes island hopping and are hardly even a minor annoyance. Make sure you go bird spotting in the rainforest. I recommend taking a local guide (you may find it difficult to avoid one!). If you have a car, head up to Englishman's bay and on to Charlottesville and nearby Pirate's Bay. Good tip? (0) The best little island out there. Natural beauty, great culture and the friendliness folks you'd ever want to meet. Eat with the locals - the food is so good. The food shacks by the beaches... awesome. Good tip?

I've been reading some research work on the mental and physical reactions to various forms of social rejection (of course, with the normal caveats of avoiding correlation equals causation etc). For anyone who's interested in the science, I can post references.I believe this is relevant to readers of ILIASM.
People describe rejection as being heart-broken, wounded, stabbed in the back, and Tibetans apparently refer to it as being "hit in the heart" - which strangely was the exact phrase I used to my W to describe the impact of her repeated brutal refusals. And in some WTF moments, I was literally unable to breathe, bereft - a very physical reaction. And I've read recently on this forum, posts describing it like being "knifed in the heart".
And, as I've posted, I would cheerfully treat those who parrot "a refusal is not a rejection" to a nice bath in some boiling sulphuric acid. After all, it's only pH.
The experiments have illustrated:
a) A similarity between emotional response to rejection and actual physical pain, in brain responses
b) A link between the somatic response to rejection and physical pain! Giving people paracetemol lessened their vulnerability to feelings of rejection
c) People naturally vary in their sensitivity to rejection; teenagers do more, introverts do more. There may be a genetic link. Also a link with kid's early environment, whether this was "safe". Also, loneliness exacerbates, increasing contact with friends decreases.
They refer to the "brain being on the alert in an unrelenting way" - there are many examples here of that continuing stress.
I think these results are powerful and suggestive. For one thing, I encourage you all to take seriously that ongoing structural rejection (particularly by your nominal lover) is actually and physically harmful. You are allowing harm to come to you, the pain is a signal to change the environment. It has the potential to damage your health. A feeling of being accepted and safe in a social context is one of the most important factors in our wellbeing.
Second, as well as the "obvious" thing of networking and increasing your own support circle outside the refuser, they found an interesting thing that rejection was lessened if you GIVE support to others. So participating in helping others, volunteering etc, can help you.
I'm also an advocate (if not a very good example) of the benefits of exercise - I think the natural opioids are probably pretty good for us.
I would NOT recommend taking paracetemol to deaden the pain, quite apart from the health risks, I believe painful feelings are there for a very good reason.
Nice post. For those who scoff at the impact or rejection, I have posted this before. There was a cruel study done in the old USSR, after WWII, with infant orphans...in which the babies were divided into two control groups. One group, was denied human interaction of any kind beyond the basis feeding, changing of diapers, etc...the other, was nurtured and given plenty of love and interaction and attention. The first group, denied, as adults were severely dysfunctional and cold, unable to connect and interact with others...had low self esteem and low egos. The other group, given love and attention, grew up to be normal, feeling, affectionate adults.
The same thing will happen to one's self image and self worth...their egos, if withheld love and affection by their significant others.
"not feeling emotionally safe" sounds familiar. I find I confide less in him, about anything. It's all pretty much talk about the kids, intellectual discussions, mundane household matters ("I'll make dinner tonight, your grey pants are back from the cleaners, etc.) the occasional joke.
He's slowly becoming like an amiable co-worker to me--someone you work well enough with, even like, but would never pour your heart out to.
Yes, that's what happened, Putfeelingaside, to my husband and I. Finally, I realized that I had no interest in him, and then it was easy to divorce him. He no longer was an important part of my life, just a drain on it.
I'm glad this cycled up again. Seriously - you, bazzar, Apocrypha, Mettamomma, and some of the other people here should collaborate on a book.
My refuser always said I should write a book. I don't think he imagined it could be on this subjec,t though.
You could write a book on this topic and dedicate it to him. :-)
Being rejected sucks
This I'm sure should help some ppl that post to this group. ;0)
Love it. The part: "A feeling of being accepted and safe in a social context is one of the most important factors in our wellbeing." is why I joined this group.
btw there has been recent evidence that the same chemical released in physical trauma is also released in emotional trauma.
Ah, but you are supporting your own well-being (not to mention ours) just by being here and by sharing your research. Well done. And I was just reaching for my paracetemol this morning. Good thing you warned me against it. Your analysis paragraph (c) is most true.... getting out and about with other people is a distraction which lessens the stress hormone levels - and if done in the right company can increase testosterone release!
To answer one of your questions my wife ended our sexual relations six years ago.
So did mine just said I don't want sex anymore & don't touch me.
Thank you for referring me to AVEN....it was helpful.
Have been hiking / camping for a week so no response possible by myself until now.
I take your point about vocabulary. I should have thanked you for introducing me to a new word. It was remiss of me not to do so before.
I am unaware on the "Aven" reference. Shall google it. Thank you again for your willingness to share.
My interest stems from a sexual addiction that I suffer from. Working with some counsellors in this field, attending support groups ( eg SA, SLAA, SAA, AA, Al Anon, CoDA ) has led to learning tools to interrupt the obsessive thinking and halt compulsive behaviours. As well I sponsor ( mentor other men here in Australia ) who suffer from this affliction.
Why not just say "excessive wordiness" ?
You're not windy, hl...many people are not used to scholarly writing (or they don't like it or understand it). Plus, if they read carefully, they will see the wittiness behind your remarks. You keep on being hl, K??
"Prolixity" ..........?
I have met people in 12 step groups who have revealed "sexual anorexia" issues.
If this exists ( we seem to accept that food anorexia is a condition ) then there may be a percentage of the population who suffer from this disorder.
I have sought to enquire diplomatically ( hoping I was empathetic ) of a source of the condition from the people I have met who assert they are sexually anorexic. It's my understanding that sexual abuse as a child can be a factor.
You could have said this in a more concise form and achieved the same results.
I am introverted and I really don't care if I get rejected, but when I was younger I used to get rejected and I used to feel humiliated and hurt. Awesome post by the way.
What a terrific post,very interesting and thought provoking.
There is a great way to combat rejection and anger, I call it "protect your soul". It is hard when your spouse is non responsive (we are all there) but you can adjust your expectation and protect your soul. I also think twice before making any conversation with anybody, whether it is the bill collector or the clark at the register or my spouse. What I learned, it makes a big difference how you approach a situation, even if someone is mean to you, you have the power to turn it around. Winning in an argument is not worth hurting your soul. At the end of the day If I am not thinking about something negative I won. Good luck and God Bless you all.
Although I've removed myself from the bedroom, I live with an ongoing sense of rejection. He doesn't care enough to make an effort. He'd rather see me live in misery (and live in misery himself, I guess) than make an effort. This still stings.
This is so interesting to me as my husband of 29 years 364 days continues to push me away as he discovers his creativity with a soprano, his "best friend". The physical sensations I have of a splitting hot wet feeling at the center of my chest are like a knife might feel. When I practice breathing and non-reactivity, he gets "nice". Makes sense, for him to keep his power, I need to want his attention. I am coping with profound rejection while trying my best to keep my head up.
Good post
I love your post. I remember that breathelessness and the pain. Its why I usually start a lot of my comments here with 'Breathe'. We have to breathe through it so we can see and feel clearly.
This is VERY informative. I'm an introvert, and a seventeen year old. Typically, I feel rejected even BEFORE I can be rejected! Ah, I am the origin of my own apathy; I suppose I may have a more sensitive response... The "safe" aspect really does make sense. Thanks so much for posting.
Rejectin made me indepedent and stronger a i have friends who are rejects
Really interesting and nicely written :)
Here is the link for "Getting the Cold Shoulder:"
The bulk of the article talks about how feeling lonely or rejected causes the skin to cool by a measurable amount; how this also changes how we perceive our physical environment; and how the application of warmth to the skin, such as a cup of joe, cause people to be more sociable. (I doubt, however, that turning up the thermostat or feeding our refusers hot soup will make a difference!)
The reference to the study about primary/primal relationships, physical touch, and warmth, is further down in the article.
(Grammar police): ...caused... or ....causes....
Excellent article hl, and very appropriate for our forum. I do thank you for taking the time to research the issue so throughly. I think that instinctively many of us realise the truth of this, but without actually acknowledging it. Seeing it in "black and white" does give it a veracity that our feelings cannot do.
I suffer from some undiagnosed autoimmmune issues which I believe are the result of ongoing stress. Whilst my SM was not the only stress in my life (far from it!) it was certainly the longest lasting. . . .
Your timely reminder about exercise is very valuable too. Note to self" Back to the gym!
First reference of "platonic dualism" I have ever come across. I appreciate knowing it (splitting of body and soul is the most succinct definition I happened upon).
I was blaming my grey hair, today, on my SM. LOL. But perhaps it's a result of rejection.
There is much to embrace (pun intended) by rejecting platonic dualism.
Thank you for enlightening me, HL42.
Great post. I can only add information from an article in a recent New York Times, which cites research indicating that our primary relationships--parent/child and spousal--are formed and secured by physical contact. How about that? Scientific proof that debunks the crazy idea that a spousal relationship can be terrific except for physical intimacy; that such an idea is frankly impossible.
can you remember the name of the article so I can google it?
I think that non-sex people get married for reasons of societal expecation and compliance with norms. Many of us here are "nice" people and we ARE appealing. I also think there are many, many people (categorized as non-sex folks, naturally) who believe that sex does and should fade with age and they're relieved when that time comes. For us, it's the beginning of our nightmare.
Wow... i would
love to read the material you
read for this information...
always knew it instinctively
but had not read any recent studies....
thanks, clg
yes please post the references :)

Michiko Sellars (born 7 April 1985), known by her stage name MiChi, is a Japanese-British pop singer. She began her career as an independent artist, but later signed to Sony Music Entertainment.[1]
Early life and Career beginnings[edit]
Michiko was born in Bromsgrove, England to an English father and a Japanese mother.[2] She moved to Kobe, Japan at the age of two in 1987, but returned to England in 1995 after the Great Hanshin earthquake.[2] Determined to be a singer, she performed in an acoustic duo before returning to Japan when she was 18.[3] The following year, she met Tomokazu Matsuzawa, producer for acts such as Mika Nakashima, Miliyah Kato, Soulhead, and Chemistry.[3] The pair worked together for three years developing her talent before MiChi entered Japan's dance club scene. In March 2007, she released the track "Surrender" on a dance compilation titled Freedom House Mode Collection.[3] It was followed a year later with her independently released English language album Michi Madness," which entered the Japanese Oricon weekly albums chart, but only peaked at number 148.[4]
Up To You[edit]
Later in 2008 she officially debut under Sony Music Entertainment and produced her first single titled "Promise," peaking at number 12 on the Oricon weekly charts.[1] Her second single, titled "Change the World," was released on 18 February 2009 and was used in the drama Kiina: Fukanō Hanzaisōsa-kan.[2]
On 30 September 2009, MiChi released her debut major album Up to You, which was successful and peaked at number 4 on the Oricon weekly album chart.[4] Her song "Something Missing" was used as the theme song in the Sega video game Bayonetta, as well as for commercials promoting the game.[5]
Second major album: Therapy[edit]
In April 2010, she released the single "All About the Girls (Ii jan ka Party People)/Together Again". "Together Again" was used as the theme song for the movie Bushido Sixteen directed by Tomoyuki Furumaya. The music video for "All About The Girls", which features a mix of stop motion, studio and computer generated footage was produced in collaboration with Tokyo dance-troupe Handsome Boyz. In July 2010, she released "Wonder Woman," featuring the Japanese indie band The Telephones. MiChi's final 2010 release was her first Japanese language EP, Love Is. Released due to the delay of her second studio album, the album features four previously unreleased recordings, including three original songs, and a cover of The Offspring's "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)." The title track from the EP received a stop motion music video, filmed from back to front.
In response to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, MiChi released online the demo of "One," a song she had been working on. The song, featuring emotional and supportive lyrics, received heavy radio rotation in the days and weeks following the disaster. This led to her label allowing MiChi to finish the song, and release it as an official single. It eventually peaked at 85 on the Oricon charts. Later in 2011, MiChi released her eighth single, "Find Your Way." It charted at number 93, selling just 674 copies, despite a high profile promotional appearance at the MTV VMAJ awards. On 1 February 2012, MiChi released her ninth single, "Tokyo Nights" featuring Swedish-Japanese indie musician, Leo Imai. The music video, which shows MiChi in various locations throughout Tokyo, including at the Tokyo Tower, was released shortly before the single hit shelves. On 11 February, MiChi finally released details of her second major label album, titled Therapy. Alongside the album title, MiChi also revealed that the album would be released in three different versions, CD, 2CD, and CD/DVD, with the DVD featuring six of MiChi's music videos, and the second CD version having an extra seven-track "Remix collection" with remixes from the likes of Busy P and DSL from the French label, Ed Banger Records.

Na Hawa Doumbia, 'La Grande Cantatrice Malienne Vol. 3' (Awesome Tapes from Africa)
Awesome Tapes From Africa is a hip blog with a semi-touristy name that belies its high quality. This -- from Mali, circa 1982 -- is its first release as a label. Guitars and keyboards argue about key; drums have a fridge-box vibe. Together, they play solemn and hypnotic -- proper accompaniment for a frontwoman who chatters like she's having a conversation with someone offstage. Like everything on ATFA, it's a suggestive footnote: If this got lost, what else?
Various Artists, 'Phil Spector Presents the Philles Album Collection' (Phil Spector Records/Legacy)
Legendary Wall of Sound producer Phil Spector only recorded one good full-length: A Christmas Gift for You. His other albums are collected here on seven discs. Maybe the hope is to trap young people nostalgic for what they imagine to be the originals' integrity. Maybe it's to trap boomers who forgot that 15 percent of the originals were foggy, ever-blossoming fantasias like "Be My Baby" and the other 85 percent were packing peanuts like the Ronettes' "Hot Pastrami."
Real Estate, 'Days' (Domino)
Real Estate are a rock band that doesn't rock, because rocking would be too unchill. Instead, they lilt, shimmer, and drift. More reverb and they'd drown; more pep and they'd soundtrack commercials. They have a singer, but it's the guitars -- part garage-surf, part music box -- that tie the sound together. Oh, and they play with some precision now -- lame, but it makes them believable. Real Estate's gift is that they either don't overthink their melodies or they can't, and the simplicity contrasts with their steady, dreamy atmospherics: instant nostalgia for an angst-free generation.
John Fahey, 'Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You: The Fonotone Years 1958-1965' (Dust-to-Digital)
For experimental-music fans too elevated for country blues and country-blues fans too down-home to reckon pretentious gibberish, there's John Fahey. An acoustic guitarist who mixed dissonance and drone into American roots music, Fahey formed an eerie, instrumental sound he explored for nearly 40 years. This set -- six meticulously documented hours recorded before his first proper album -- is a progress chart. In hour one, he bangs his guitar with a paintbrush; by hour six, he's making ragas backwards before the Beatles set foot in India.
Kool and Together, 'Kool and Together' (Heavy Light/Light in the Attic)
A Texas family who played what it called "Black Rock": sludgy, mid-tempo funk vamps punctuated with noisy guitar solos. Shades of disco, carefree use of wah-wah. The songs aren't really there and don't need to be; they'd probably just get in the way of the grooves. Best, surprisingly, are the unreleased live and demo cuts -- recordings so blown-out it sounds like the players are ripping right through the tape.
Shin Joong Hyun, 'Beautiful Rivers and Mountains' (Light in the Attic)
Shin's story is a hash of half-familiar myths: He started out entertaining at a U.S. Army base, dropped acid, introduced socially conservative South Korea to psych rock, suffered state censure. His music is also a hodgepodge: square sax-rock, Motown, bongo-heavy folk ballads, and sunshine pop, all tinted by Shin's guitar, which is alternately savage and buttoned-up. Interestingly, there's a purity of Western influence atypical of most non-Western comps -- fewer traces of folk tradition, fewer happy misunderstandings of the source material.
Van Dyke Parks, 'Arrangements, Vol. 1' (Bananastan)
The arranger is music's comic-book colorist, choosing and combining instruments, part artist, part technician. Parks has played the role for 40 years, creating dreamy scenery for whoever's paying. On this early-works collection, it's a hodgepodge: Bonnie Raitt sings calypso, Dean Martin's son sings a psychedelic reggae ballad, Arlo Guthrie sings an Appalachian hymn as glam-country. Parks takes stodgy grandpa forms and makes them zing! again. When it's not campy, it's gorgeous; sometimes, it's both.
Shirley Brown, 'Woman to Woman' (Stax)
Soul singers comfort themselves with misery, and in a way, Woman to Woman can't even be sad -- it's too contented in its beaten-down procession through ballads about wrongdoing men and the women who wait for them, as if in a dream. The title track's the heartbreaker: She ?calls a number stuffed in his ?pocket. Does she yell? No. She ?levels, she asks. She even tries?to sympathize.
Art of Noise, 'Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise - Deluxe Edition' (ZTT/Union Square)
Art of Noise didn't make hip-hop so much as a high-concept imitation of it: more the idea of funky than funk. Well, you can read the manifesto (though it offers no answers). Interestingly, this was 1984, so hip-hop was already inspiring brainy English commentary just as it was starting to evolve. But '80s hip-hop flaunts and celebrates, while Who's Afraid doesn't -- it sneaks, shifts, and pranks, a jigsaw puzzle of a sound admired from afar.
The Raincoats, 'Odyshape' (We Three Records)
The Raincoats were the most defiantly feminine post-punk band not because they were women, but because they were generous in spirit -- more a tribe than a jigsaw of egos, intelligent enough to realize that being personal doesn't mean you aren't smart. Odyshape is cleaner and lonelier than their debut, dominated by violin, thudding tom-toms, and African and Jamaican influences via the streets of London. It's the sound of a cold-water flat reimagined as a quiet clearing ?in the jungle.

I agree, if there is any justice in Rumble she will get punished for her treachery. BURN THE WITCH! ... >.>
Suga was hilarious though lol

Geez, now that sounds like something you would like to do to one of your ex. Seems like ya had a bad love-dovey experience there pal....
Anyhow, that madoka chick sure looks like an inocent dove (damn KJ drawings) but she's a real demon ya'll. Poor Umeda though, in the end, he doesn´t have what it takes for dat bootylicious cherry.
...wait, I'm confused.
UMEDA AND MADOKA BELONG TOGETHER. >_> If they don't end up together by the end, Kobayashi-sensei could write an Oodou ending, a D ending, a... a... everyone's happy ending and I still wouldn't be happy.Quote:
Anyhow, that madoka chick sure looks like an inocent dove (damn KJ drawings) but she' s for real ya'll, Poor Umeda, doesn´t have what it takes for dat butylicious cherry.
Man my first post in SR section and it was provoked by the last damn chapter ...
Indeed KJ gave us enough proof to consider that she would do it.
Even though she behaved like nothing ever happened and she is a little innocent lady (209 chapter and the car dude). She also showed that she doesnt have the same feelings to him as he have to her (battle royale chapters where she "kills" him to get killed by "forgot who" ).
Hmmm about post above me dunno even though they look like a pair which must be together until the end, I would say that the guy deserve something better. Yes shes cute but as someone before me said she is a devil inside. Who would want a chick who says that she loves you but she only loves your account numbers ,,,
Of course the guy doesnt have acc or money but I would say that she hmmm isnt with him only for love unless, she is one of those girls who like to get laid and fool around, and then return to sweet home to husband who just made dinner and is waiting for her ...
Still I think that guy should get a better girl or KJ should make some punishment on her. Actualy i think its like the first chapter which actualy made their pair as #1 story in chapter. Unless its a diversion from KJ side to make us forget about harima and eri dillema, I would say that KJ made quite a damn good job to change our feelings from harima problem to (forgot his name) problem ...
I would say that it requires some skill to do that, GJ mr mangaka.
she got killed by Mai (I think) anyway she did shot Umeda but after that she regretted her action. (she paused and she held her hand at him) so even if she is selfish. I do thin that she has feelings for him too ^^
thats a nice story. maybe KJ will make another chapter for the couple and show how the two of them will work things out. kinda like he finds out, he gets angry, she regrets everything, she learns and changes for the better, then later on ...Quote:

LOL! nah he'll forgive him, he seems to be a nice guy :D
Which is why she'd better realize that she isn't going to get anyone better than him with that attitude. CRAWL BITCH. =P And make her CRY.
If Madoka Kido (that's her name right?) get's punished by KJ, it'll have to be in a very rumbled method...
Maybe she get's caught up with a Depressed Harima and somehow forces her to feel like she has some kind of moral obligation to help him... Somewhere down the track, Umeda misunderstands Harima's and Madoka Situtaion... and he gets depressed.
Tenma also Misunderstands and calls Harima a Monkey again, Eri get's jealous and competes against Madoka, Yakumo makes a new enemy and Harima goes further into his depressed state dragging Madoka into a larger misunderstanding and it gets so rumbled that Umeda Breaks up with Madoka without ever knowing she was actually cheating on him (but not with Harima) and he never gave her an explaination why he broke up with her, shocked by the fact he broke up with her because it was suppose to be the other way round, she goes and pursue's Umeda... ...Harima & gang ended up where they started, Karasuma is yet to be found... To be continued lol
OK it might not happen... but the way KJ writes/draw his stories, it has to be rumbled, it just HAS TO BE!...
I liked the slapping idea, but only if it's backhand and if he's dressed like a pimp.
Afterwards he has to dance over the fallen body.
^It's better if he bitch-slaps her. Repeatedly. She's going to come crawling back to him anyway, so he can act however he wants to. =P Looks more dramatic that way, too. I can't see him backhanding her or anything abusive like that....

Raven was right: I would have been sea-sick if I went on upper deck. The boat rocked side-to-side, I myself rocking with it. For my first time on a boat, I hated it. It was so dull compared to my room, alone. I was surrounded by the same tedious and pompous russet colour. The only other colour I could adore was my robes' colour. A static, pure white. From the robes, I took off the lace and placed it aside. Then I stuffed the sack with the garments and fastened the hole. Who knows, this Strattonshire might have been a nice place and I might be wearing my robes more than my armour.
The sack was just the mere size of a pouch, only a little bigger. I tucked in the loose end of the sack into my waist strap and securely knotted the excess lace to my stomach. Perfect.
Suddenly the rocking stopped, and a thud thumped the walls of the ship. The entire ship would've been in a wreck if it thumped any harder. We must have stopped; I heard a lot of commotion coming from the upper deck. I made for the door and unlocked the tarnished latch.
"Is everyone ready?" Brutus called from above with a deep voice.
"Yes, my lord." The Soldiers replied in sync.
We landed, then. That was clear to the ear. I came into the hallway and looked up the stairs and over yonder. Neither a speck nor flicker of natural light was to be seen. That was weird; we had the sun not so long ago. I frowned and double-stepped the stairs to the main deck. There was no sun, just a pitch black sky. Narrowing my eyes, I couldn't mark a star in the sky either.
"Good afternoon, Cassandria," Brutus said with a funny tone.
"Where's the sun?" I questioned, still gazing into nothingness.
"That's what I want to know. We'll have to ask the natives here." Brutus suggested. "Come on, men. You! Keep that torch up."
"Yes, my lord."
Something wasn't right about this place, already I had the shivers, and it wasn't the cold air. Nonetheless, I followed the tallish torch-bearer near Brutus and went down the ramp. Soil and grass met my toes and ankles with a comforting feel. There were no stones or pebbles either, which added to the luxury. Brutus, from what I could see, turned to the ship and yelled, "Shipmaster. Return to the kingdom and inform Omen of our arrival. We'll send a courier for reinforcements if we require any."
"Got it!" The Shipmaster replied. I couldn't get a visual on him. Where ever he was on the ship, he blended in well.
"You best do," Brutus mumbled to himself and took out a sheet of paper from his bracer. "Come here, I need some light." He demanded, looking at the torch bearer. He shuffled over and brightened the area around the map. From this side of the paper, I could see an outline and then a circle marked Strattonshire, but backwards. Brutus rubbed his hand across his chin and cheek, concentrating. His eyes looked up, then down, then up again, followed with his finger touching the page.
"You figured out where we are yet?" Raven asked, coming out of invisibility.
"Hmm?" Brutus smiled and peered at Raven for a second. "I'm just kidding... and yes, I have. We came from the Arcana Fields, right?"
"If we travelled up head on, then we would be here, right?" Brutus's bold finger led to the middle of the land, a good distance away from the mark: Strattonshire.
"Yeah." Raven nodded.
Brutus steered around and claimed with an arm pointing, "This is north, since the sea is that way. So... we go east." He shrugged and peered at Raven again, eyes more serious than casual.
"Hmm." Raven mocked and vanished again through her mirror trick. I've always wanted to learn that, but I never got to ask her if she would teach me. Not like I already knew the answer would've been a swift 'no' anyway.
Brutus jumped his brows and began to walk right. The Soldiers followed with vigilance being their main asset. I scrambled along with them, my sights sharp on the torch bearer. Although dark, the nature here was flourishing with life. The hollow trees soared up into enveloping canopies. Its bark looked more resilient in comparison to Brutus's armour and the Soldiers' armour. It made us appear weak to an enemy that couldn't even fight back. Still, the plants were nothing short of embellishment. I bet my sister would be up to her hair with new elixirs if she came here.
Out of the lush green and arid black, a pair of hoary dots appeared just ahead and steadily floated. "Can you see that?" A Soldier asked to my right.
"See what?" Another one replied in a near-mute tone.
"Those... dots."
"Yeah. I can see them."
Brutus promptly held his arm out to halt our advance. "Wait a moment," he said and expectantly stared at the torch bearer. His head knocked towards the white dots, hinting him to advance alone. So he did, with each cautious step taking longer than the last. The dots remained put, but became broad overtime as the Soldier approached. Were they alive?
The Soldier halted and stepped aside from the dots. The blinking and staining light that emitted from the roaring torch revealed a purplish smutty hand.
It was alive. Something was there, quivering. Breathing.
The Soldier noticed the hand and began to contract the trepidation.
"Soldier. Move back." Brutus ordered in a calm manner. He didn't respond nor did he move. "Soldier!" Brutus repeated. Nothing. But the Soldier did move, not through order, but through curiosity. He swiftly moved the torch up, closer to the dots.
"By my own sword..." Brutus exclaimed.
The figure had no jaw and those dots we saw, were his eyes. Its hair was tattered and torn, like it tackled against something that was ravenous and ravage. The skin on its face and exposed chest was scarred and fissured, as if it was slashed repeatedly by a blade. But the cuts were too rigid and clumsy to be the work of a blade. They were the work of a hand or claw. It wore the remains of a frayed grey vest and shredded linen trousers, but had no indication of affiliation. No necklace, no badge. It was a phantom; a ghost, in a fragile shell.
Slowly its neck cracked and creaked to face the Soldier square on. It had no pupils, but it glared with the intention of first blood. "Damn it, Soldier, move..." Brutus ordered and begun an advance to the desecrated figure.
Without reason, it shrieked and shrilled at the Soldier, dousing the flame on the torch.
"KILL IT!" Brutus yelped. I was shaken, but I didn't falter to grasp the handle of my daggers. Before I made a step into combat, the dots that moved like fireflies, fused out. Two thumps signalled after.
Raven's voice muttered, "Done."
"You killed it?" Brutus asked.
"Right through the head." She claimed and came into viewing distance.
"Is my Soldier okay? Can you respond for me?"
I listened out for a response of any kind, but the only thing I heard was muffled and hoarse breathing.
Though blind, I looked around the black and emptiness, both of which being rapidly filled with the white dots.
We were surrounded. But by what?

Despite lackluster reviews, audiences turned out in droves to watch Eva Green's Atremisia and the rest of the scantily clad warriors take to the sea for battle in the $108 million pic. Smart People director Noam Murro took the helm from Zack Snyder this time around — though Snyder produced and wrote the film. Audiences (62 percent male) slapped the epic with a B Cinema Score.The lure of IMAX helped. The 342 IMAX screens brought in $6.8 million (or 15 percent) of the film's weekend earnings, while 3-D showings accounted for 63 percent of the grosses. 300: Rise of an Empire is also performing quite well internationally with $87.8 million from 58 markets. Still, it doesn't even come close to Zack Snyder's $70 million March 2007 opening for 300. Nevertheless, the sequel should enjoy a healthy box office life.DreamWorks Animation's Mr. Peabody and Sherman (Cinema Score: A) opened in the No. 2 spot this weekend with an estimated $32.5 million from 3,934 theaters, exceeding studio and analyst expectations for the $145 million movie. Audiences were slightly more female (54 percent) and 52 percent were over 25. Despite the stellar A Cinema Score, it seems younger audiences were even more enthusiastic: The 25 and under crowd gave it an A+. The brilliant dog and his eager young companion will likely enjoy at least one more good weekend at the box office before Muppets Most Wanted screams into theaters on March 21.Liam Neeson's tense thriller Non-Stop snagged the third place spot with $15.4 million — a 46.7 percent drop from its debut. The Jaume Collet-Serra pic now boasts a $52.1 million domestic total. Meanwhile, The Lego Movie dropped 47 percent and claimed the No. 4 spot with $11.1 million. The animated building blocks have made about $225 million domestically in five weeks in theaters. Finally, in fifth place, Mark Burnett and Roma Downey's biblical epic Son of God fell 60 percent and took in an estimated $10 million in its second weekend in theaters, bringing its domestic total to $41.5 million.Here's the top five:1. 300: Rise of an Empire -- $45.05 million 2. Mr. Peabody and Sherman -- $32.5 million 3. Non-Stop -- $15.4 million 4. The Lego Movie -- $11.1 million 5. Son of God -- $10 millionIn the speciality box office world, Wes Anderson's art caper The Grand Budapest Hotel earned an estimated $800K from four theaters. Its $200K per-screen average is the highest ever for a live-action film. According to Fox Searchlight, sell-out crowds even caused extra showings to be added on the spot. For those not in New York or Los Angeles, the film will open in 17 new markets this weekend.Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master was the previous record-holder with $147K per theater. Budapest's debut also pushes Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom (opened to $130k per theater average) to the No. 3 spot.Best Picture winner 12 Years a Slave also expanded into 1,000 theaters this weekend, earning $2.2 million and a spot in the top 10.See the original story at EW.com.

Wednesday, January 18
Verizon Center
Attendance: 15,075
Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Record wise, it was an encounter of the NBA's best against the NBA's worst, but it was the lowly Washington Wizards who prevailed over the Oklahoma City Thunder, 105-102, on Tuesday night.
John Wall filled the stat sheet with 25 points, eight assists and seven rebounds and Nick Young added 24 points for the Wizards, who put the brakes on a four-game losing skid and moved to 2-12 on the season.
Kevin Durant had a chance to tie the game at the buzzer with a deep straightaway three-pointer, but it clanked off the rim.
Russell Westbrook had 36 points and Durant added 33 for the Thunder, who had their seven-game winning streak snapped.
"They did a good job of crashing the offensive boards, the 19 offensive boards bothered us and we fouled too many times," Oklahoma City head coach Scott Brooks said.
The Wizards finished 31-of-43 from the free-throw line.
Young's three-pointer capped a 12-4 Wizards run and gave Washington a 93-88 lead with 3:22 left to play in the game.
Neither team recorded a point until Durant's step-back jumper pulled Oklahoma City within three with 1:17 remaining.
Young made 1-of-2 from the line on Washington's ensuing possession and Westbrook answered with a bucket to make it 94-92 with 50.9 to play.
Wall hit a pair of free throws to put the Wizards up 96-92 with 41.3 seconds remaining. Durant was called for a charge on the Thunder's ensuing possession. Wall hit another pair of free throws to put Washington up by six.
A little bit later, two Jordan Crawford free throws made it 101-94 with 25.9 seconds left, but the Thunder didn't go away as Durant scored six points in 7.9 seconds to make it 102-100 with 11.0 seconds left. Durant hit a three- pointer and after Wall made 1-of-2 free throws, Trevor Booker fouled Durant on a three-point attempt. He made all three free throws.
But Wall made another pair of foul shots to put the Wizards back up by four. After Westbrook's layup made it 104-102, Young finally gave the Thunder the opening they needed by making 1-of-2 free throws to make it 105-102 with five seconds left.
But Durant's shot at the buzzer was off the mark.
Thabo Sefolosha capped a 10-0 Thunder run to give Oklahoma City a 14-5 advantage midway through the first. Durant netted nine points in the opening quarter as Oklahoma City took a 22-18 advantage into the second.
Durant scored five points in the final minute of the half -- his only points of the second quarter -- as the Thunder took a 51-46 advantage into the break. Westbrook erupted for 18 points in the opening 24 minutes of play.
Andray Blatche hit a three-pointer with 0.1 seconds left in the third quarter to pull the Wizards within 76-72 heading into the fourth.

Add new comment | Filed under: A Blog SupremeL'Orkestre des Pas Perdus' latest album, L'âge du cuivre, was just nominated for a Juno Award. (Image Credit: Courtesy of the artist)C'est la saison de jazz à Montreal! Starting Thursday night and running through next weekend, Francophone Canada's cultural metropolis hosts its grand prix: the Montreal International Jazz Festival. The self-proclaimed "largest jazz festival in the world" casts a musical spell over the city, across 10 outdoor stages, 15 concert halls and clubs galore with more than 1,000 shows.
Much of the festival's magic comes from its two million attendees. High society in bow ties and evening gowns peacefully intermingles with young fans in high-top sneakers. Toddlers and old folks dance together in the streets. Brass bands battle across intersections. Jugglers, puppeteers, clowns — street performers of all stripes — compete for your attention. Mix in Montreal's wondrous culinary pleasures, and it's Cirque du Soleil for your senses.
As for the on-stage talent, it comes from everywhere, but many featured performers have a well-known Canadian connection. The singer-songwriter Rufus Wainright will give a free homecoming concert for an anticipated record-setting crowd. Many of the city's local jazz artists are propped up, too. Here are five to catch.

Westmoreland County woman arrested for running over boyfriend's other girlfriend
June 19, 2013 11:45 PMMT. PLEASANT, Pa. -- A Westmoreland County woman has been arrested after she allegedly ran over her boyfriend's other girlfriend.
Police say 28-year-old Danielle Falcon of Everson ran over the other young woman Tuesday evening in East Huntingdon Township.
Authorities say Ms. Falcon was angry because her boyfriend told her he was going to his mother's house, but he went to pick up the other woman instead. Ms. Falcon allegedly followed the car and became overcome with emotion when she saw Katelin Hiltabidel.
Police say Ms. Falcon tried to help Ms. Hiltabidel after running her over. Ms. Hiltabidel suffered compound fractures in both legs.
Ms. Falcon is being held in Westmoreland County Jail, unable to post $50,000 bond. No attorney was listed on court papers.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 26.

The Spinlock Deckvest is very popular, but not approved. It uses a cow hitch to attach the tether, but the vest has a built-in cutter. It has thigh straps. I have added a crotch strap to my pfd.
I have the same setup. When off shore as part of a crew or alone I wear the spinlock integrated PFD, with harness with a plb attached. The crotch straps are never in the way and a great addition. To me wearing a pfd with integrated harness is the way to go and you dont even know the harness is there. I never pay retail for any of this stuff and have accumulated them over the years, At the boat show last year Annapolis performance sailing was 40% of their pfd, teathers, and harnesses.
I do a lot of single handing also, If it is to become part of your routine, I would invest in some quality stuff and accumulate it over the years as it can be expensive and you can wait till they have deep sales on them. The harness you are looking at is adequate, but could really cut into you you if you really had to use it, Also the quick releases are important that they are qualoity and will work when called upon, not just to move from jackline to jackline, but in an emergency under adverse situatuions and pressure on the clip.
Staying on the boat is the first priority of course and your safety equipment/ system should be first rate to save you, not an afterthough or just sale priced.
Here is my single harness- very lightweight and great construction
Spinlock Deckware - Deck Pro Harness: Mauri Pro Sailing
It doesnt cut into you when you wear it for long times like the webbing harnesses will.

In the bay I usually wear an integrated Mustang with harness when single handing.
