I don't trust my girlfriend.
Hi guys, basically I just don't trust my girlfriend, I don't know what to do, I can't tell if I'm paranoid or if I really should not trust her, and I... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Dude, you need to seriously leave this girl. I am sorry to be honest, but this girl has some serious issues. you have a right not to trust her because, yes, having guy friends is innocent and could be nothing but true friends wouldn't ask her to have sex with them, especially if they know she is with you. its called respecting friend boundaries, which they aren't doing. it is so funny that she would immediately go for having another guy spend the night right after yall discuss and agree to an open relationship. seeing how its weird to have an open relationship so early in yalls relationship itself. to have a true, trusted open relationship, you have to know and trust your partner in the first place and that takes time to do before you can say " yes, I trust her to go out and flirt with other men" because what you are doing right now is just being her f**k buddy. she went and read your text messages, seriously? not cool at all. if its an open relationship, what you said to another girl shouldn't matter, but since it does and she did that, its not a true open relationship. hell its not even a real relationship at all. she wants you to ONLY be with her, while she goes around SLEEPING with other me. I don't think so. this chick is a serious SLUT. I would break up with her all together. and if you choose, maybe she will still sleep with you, but if I were you, I wouldn't sleep with her either, she might have something... you just never know. good luck dude.
Thanks for the honest reply. I've finished with her now and I'm not even talking to her.

you were upset over what I said? I am terribly sorry. I just try to be honest. I study human behavior, psychology and human behavior is my life and has been since I was younger. if it is happening the way you say it is then what I replied is what I see is going on. all I do is try to help people before it gets too deep into a relationship to be able to get out.
No not upset over you lol, I mean the message she sent to my friend agreeing to meet him, telling him that he's hot and stuff.
What Girls Said 11
I definitely don't think she's worth your time. :/ It seems like she's always keeping you guessing. You two have already broken up and it's only been a month. Trust is a huge factor in a relationship. If there is none, then there shouldn't be a relationship.
Thats true :/ at the same time though I know I get paranoid over nothing too, and I don't want to ruin it if she hasn't actually done anything wrong. Really confused on what I should do :(
your welcome. I just didn't want you to get hurt over a girl like that. she probably cheats and plays every guy she is with. please don't be hurt. you will find someone who will actually treat you right and until then, spend some time with yourself. people are always so worried about being with someone that we never really make time to ourselves to simply be alone. good luck. :D
I agree with Rated_R about the open relationship thing... It's just an invitation for them to cheat, because there are no real boundaries. I think you need to just let her go, since it doesn't seem like you trust her, and she doesn't seem to care much about your feelings. While one of you may be wrong in this instance, it is clear that your relationship expectations are very, very different, and that is not a good recipe for a relationship. I'm sorry, but you may just need to walk away.
Thats the whole point of an open relationship, allowing them to be with other people, its not cheating then because you know they're with other people. I'd be completely fine with it if she was honest about it, because then I'd be having fun with other girls too. I just worry she's stopping me from seeing other girls yet still seeing other guys, and wants the best of both worlds. She is the one that seems more interested, I mean she asked me out. I really don't get it. I might have to leave her.
That just seems too confusing for both of you, since she's obviously not into talking to you about what's going on. I'd get out, for more reasons than one. haha
Ok not to sound like a bitch! but WAKE UP she obviously likes the attention of lots of guys messaging her etc but sleeping with them too that's a different story! How could you expect to trust someone who is sleeping with other guys? I just hope you are wearing protection and if you do meet some nice girl forget about her fast! she wil only lead to trouble.
LOL this was ages ago... I was an idiot, I know :) lesson learned...
she's cheating on you. bottom line. just move on we spoke about this 12 days ago! don't you deserve better that's lame why would a guy who gets dissed because she won't show him her boobs then go out of his way find out who you are email you on fb and then try to take it to a whole new level.
its like when guys cheat on a girl and then the girl finds out and goes back to the guy and everyone just thinks the girls dumb... its like that kinda... no its def. like that dear. I'm sorry she's dragging you down but dear move on you know you deserve better! =)
I have finished with her. I keep wanting to sort it out and get back with her but I know I'm being an idiot, and I know exactly what you mean. If I was another person I'd say the same as you, now I need to take my own advice and leave her the f*** alone.
just remember this.. that you got along without her before you can get along just fine without her again. tomorrows a beautiful new day surrounded with tons of new people and someone who deserves to love you and respect you and you deserve to love and respect them. best of luck!
first off an open relationship I think is complete and utter crap. sorry... that's part of the reason why you don't trust her. secondly if you want an open relationship with her there's a lot of things that are wrong with the current one you're in. You will never trust someone while they are sleeping with someone else and you know about it. here's her angle she wants to make you jealous she's kinda not the most trustworthy person let's be honest.
i have lots of guy friends few girlfriends and my boyfriend knows it. is he stoked about it probably not but still I do and he knows that they are just friends. my guy friends don't try to convince me to have sex with their friends that's just weird... and that would make me feel like a whore and they were my pimp. GROSS
Next, just move on... your obviously not as interested because you are going to be in an open relationship with her and looking elsewhere for answers. You're conflicted and that's adding to your unsureness. move on its for the best... she doesn't trust you and you don't trust her what kind of relationship is that?
Lastly, I really do believe open relationships are the "you want you cake and eat it too," types of relationships you want to be with someone because they give you good sex and you don't because she makes you crazy you guys seem to have really bad fights all the time bad enough to break up. its a sexual chemistry thing. in england (im guess that's where you're from) std rates are high... wear a condom and be an f-buddy. sorry.
When it was open it didn't matter, I really didn't care if she slept with anybody else. Please read the post properly. I am now in a comitted relationship with her, but don't trust that she will actually stick to the promise of not seeing other guys. That is all. She does trust me, I just don't trust her. Thanks for the reply :)
- Show Older Hide Older
Thats true. But if I don't actually try to on the first date then I won't know whether she would have held out or not do I? Lol :)
just don't try lol I mean if you have a good time with someone leave them with a kiss that rocks their world. leave them wanting you and you'll never have to wonder. but if a girl blatantly says wanna hook up on the first date... you know every signal in your heads going slag... easy... one night stand. which there's nothing wrong with that if that's what you want but if you want a relationship there's a difference.
I don't think you can really have a relationship with someone you don't trust it just won't work. If she really wants you and wants a relationship with you then she should make an effort to show you that you can trust her. If an open relationship is what you want, then you need to tell her that. Communication is key =)
Just be honest and talk to her about how you feel and what you want to happen. If she doesn't agree and just wants you to be with her only, and wants to go around open to others then that's really one sided and selfish. I wouldn't waste my time on a relationship if she can't at least talk to you and understand how you feel.
Yeah you're right, she does understand how I feel. I've been cheated on a lot, and have had a lot of interest from girls with boyfriends, so I find it really hard to trust women.
And yeah that's exactly what I'm afraid of, I don't want it to be one-sided. I know I won't cheat but I don't know about her. If she hadn't seen the texts I doubt she would have asked.
What Guys Said 6
my young british friend...i'm 30, not old enough to be your father, but big brother, so here is some advice. Whenever you're with a girl who talks to a lot of guys, has a lot of "guy friends", and worse yet, flirts with other guys, almost 10 times out of 10 it's trouble. Learn this lesson now...you see any of these signs...bail. Also, all men come ready-built with a radar for this crap...it's called your gut feeling. Follow it. Moreover, you had sex the first time you met her. Leave this bitch in the dust. BTW- trust me...when you're my age...this chick will be 2x divorced with kids from different dads...she's toxic. Stay away. BTW - your shirtless pic...put a damn shirt on kid. Self portraits with your shirt off -- huge douche move.
Thanks for the advice mate, I finished her a couple of weeks ago. And maybe I am just a huge douche :P
I'm not one who likes the idea of a open relationship but I would agree with JustSayinn's answer. I just don't like the idea never been in one exactly but would make me want to kick the crap out of the other guys.
That's cool. I really don't mind as long as I'm not being lied to. If she's going around shagging other guys I want to have fun with other people too. I don't want it to be one sided...
Yeah only thing Id worry about is catching a disease from her if she's just out there having sex with multiple guys. Do what ya gotta do if it don't bother you move on find someone better.
Well since you say your exclusive with her now. All I would say is I would agree on not trusting her still because at your age I was with someone who was with hanging around with other guys and heard the whole BS line of "were just friends" and I didn't trust her come to find out months later she was cheating. I even gave ultimatum and said if I found out its over she still did it. So don't let your guard down and keep your eyes open.
just an idea , y don't you grow up ...and don't give a sh,t , cause lets face it she is doin it , so move on , the sooner the better
Just an idea, why don't you suck my d***?
- Show Older Hide Older
Me too, but there was no need to tell me to grow up or tell me "I'm not the one boning your girl ( obviously she wouldn't mind it though.hhaha )".There's a difference between not sugar coating and being insulting.
y are you fighting with me man , those answers were written after you offered me your d*** , I ain't J C , anyone does that I'm gonna fire back .
and I AM SORRY IF I INSULTED You ,
Have an opinion?

Kawasaki ZX6D - ZZR600D build thread
View Single Post
Garden mechanic ;-)
Joined: Jul 2007
Location: Zagreb, Croatia
Oddometer: 270
Yes, I know, it was a heap of rusty and greasy junk when I bought it, but the main part, the engine is rock solid and works flawlessly, and the rest of the bike is made of aluminium so it just needed a good sandblasting and fresh paint and I presume that it will be ok for the next 20 years or so when I finish upgrading it :-)
Also, me keeping it in the garden and on the snow and rain didn't help the "presentation" of the project I presume, but now when it is in a warm and dry place, it gets all the lovin it deserves.
Regarding a rear suspension, well, I have few options:
1. replace the original spring with the newer one and ride it that way untill the shock dies ( it is a 2002 shock, so it is not 23 years old )
2. find a newer generation shock somefhere ( the bike was sold untill 2008. ) so the shocks are available still
3. I found some new(ish) shocks for other models, and I can fit a zzr 1100, zxr, zx12 and few other shocks without too much modification on the mounts, and I just need a new lower shock swing which can be easily conected to the swingarm and the frame. I think that I will go this route, because I really want a stiff and responsive rear end, to match the performance of the front forks and balance it all up.
Thank you for the comment and the interest

Baylor Senior
Shows good leg strength to kick his team out of trouble. Shows ability to get hangtime to pin teams deep on the short field and shows some potential as a directional punter, working the sideline. Does a nice job recovering from bad snaps to boot the ball away quickly.
Will boot too many line drives and not always consistent getting great hangtime. Can be a bit methodical in his set up at times.
Epperson definitely has the tools to stick at the next level and the upside to be one of the better punters in the league, if he can improve his accuracy, directional kicking ability, and particularly his consistency. He had only one of his 224 punts blocked during his career, and was fairly consistent production over his last three years. For his career, averaged 42.7 yards, forced 59 fair catches, and 54 were placed inside the 20. Only had 3 career kickoffs.
Epperson has the tools, although I'm not sure he's a great bet to stick right away in the league. I think he can handle it, but he's not going to be a guy that probably transitions quickly and easily in the league, so he may need a year or two to work out the kinks in his game. He's got more than enough leg to be a guy that can average 43-45 yards per punt, and shows enough accuracy that he can pin teams and work the short field. He just needs to refine his skills and become more consistent and reliable. If he can do that over the course of his early career, he should have a long NFL career. He may not be a Pro Bowler, but should at worst be an above average punter that can play the better part of a decade or more with a single team because they are comfortable with him.
Epperson could be a nice replacement for Koenen in terms of his punting potential, if the Falcons opted not to keep Koenen. He's not a candidate to replace him on kickoffs. But he can start off fairly well, kicking in the Georgia Dome, which should help his transition to the league. He definitely won't be as good as Koenen right away, but like his predecessor by his second or third year should have developed enough consistency where he's at least an above average placement punter if not near the top of the heap.
Epperson is good enough to sneak into the seventh round for a punter-needy team but his lack of elite upside probably means he's a better value if you can wait until the undrafted market.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Leg Strength: 3.5
Directional Kicking: 3.0
Placement: 3.0
Kick-offs: N/A
Clutch Kicking: 3.0

Africa has many accomplishments in which to take pride and confidence. Progress on many fronts is dramatic with a new sense of optimism found right across the continent.
Economic growth is strong, feeding through into increased incomes and better living standards. Foreign investment is pouring in, encouraged by the energy and talent of Africa's people, rising consumer demand and improved standards of governance. But if the continent is to make the most of its rich potential, there are many challenges still to overcome. And none is bigger than improving Africa's record on maternal health.
Here, too, there have been remarkable success stories. Equatorial Guinea, for example, has already beaten the 75% reduction target in maternal deaths set in the Millennium Development Goals. Eritrea is also on course to meet the target, while Ethiopia and Rwanda are among the countries that have already seen a reduction of over 60%.
But despite these outstanding achievements and successes in many countries, Africa has not kept up with the pace of improvements on other continents. Indeed, a recent study published in The Lancet, an authoritative medical journal, showed that in 2008, eight of the ten countries with the worst maternal mortality records were found in Africa. Countries that have been particularly badly hit by the HIV and Aids epidemic have seen figures rise, rather than fall, in recent years.
The result is that while Africa has only 14% of the world's population, it accounts for well over half of all maternal deaths worldwide - deaths that are overwhelmingly avoidable. For it is not untreatable diseases but the lack of access to family planning, basic care around childbirth, skilled attendance, health checks and advice in pregnancy that are the main reasons for this loss of human life.
The impact of these individual tragedies goes far beyond the family involved. They are a major brake on wider economic and social development. It is a mark of the new determination across Africa to remove obstacles to progress, that we are seeing a major drive to end this unnecessary death toll. The Campaign on Accelerated Reduction of Maternal Mortality in Africa - CARMMA - was launched three years ago by the African Union, with the support of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), which I am privileged to head.
Since Mozambique first launched its national campaign in 2009, another 36 African countries have signed up to the initiative. The aim, through CARMMA, is to galvanize political action and forge new partnerships across societies to identify the reasons for maternal deaths and put in place the policies and resources to tackle them.
The campaign has enjoyed tremendous support at the highest levels. In Zambia, for example, the initiative was launched personally by the president. Many countries have put CARMMA into practice, not just nationally but also at district and state levels. The high number of unattended births - caused in part by the lack of skilled practitioners - helps explain the high levels of maternal mortality.
To help tackle the shortfall, Cameroon is now opening eight midwifery schools. In a country where the last midwife graduated in 1987, a second wave of over 200 students is now completing training. We see similar success stories right across the continent, with strengthened health systems, increased funding and new partnerships between the public, private and voluntary sectors. Sierra Leone has brought in free medical services for pregnant women and their babies.
However, despite some remarkable results, over 450 women and girls continue to die in Africa everyday from complications in pregnancy or childbirth. That is why the CARMMA summit taking place this week in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, under the auspices of the African Union and UNFPA, is so important. This is a chance for countries to recommit to the campaign, and share ideas and good practices.
The decisions taken in Ethiopia this week will help drive forward Africa's positive transformation. If the continent is to continue the remarkable economic and social progress achieved over the last decade, then reducing child and maternal deaths must be a top priority. It is within our reach that no woman should die giving life. The realization of this commitment is also in our hands.

I think the exaggerated relief on the 4 footer will look horrible in HD. You just have to take a look at a few screen shots of the 6 footer from Generations to know that there is plenty of detail in it.
Granted the 4 footer probably looked better on a small standard definition TV that was not able to pick up the subtleties of the 6 footer.
You do realize that new shots of the 6ft model in Generations are going to look better then the original ILM, let alone Image G, effects shots. They did a lot of detailing work and a different paint job, then what was originally done for tv.
I much prefer the original paint job. There was plenty of detail to it, and it felt much more appropriate to the design.
The Generations scheme tried to replicate the aztecking from the refit-E era (something ILM was never good at), and ends up looking like its covered in plaid.
Physically there's very little added detail, with the phaser stripes being the major upgrade.

Comment posted Waitrose has £325k on table for Tuesday planning hearing – and opposition rolls in by Councillor George Freeman.
Summing up now complete. Now moving on to the PPSLC members debating the issue before the decision is taken. It looks like it will be an approval but watch this space.
Councillor George Freeman also commented
- Cllr Reay now moving a motion to approve the application. Now reading it out to obtain confirmation if it is competent or not. Now seconded by the Chair – Cllr Kelly.
Application has been approved.
- In the final straight now. Cllr McCuish has confirmed his support as has Cllr Reay. We only await the views of the Chair.
- Alex McNaughton has also confirmed his support along with Gordon Chalmers. It is now clear that it will be approved if a competent motion / amendment can be put together.
Cllr McAlister has also indicated support along with Cllr Devon, Cllr McMillan and Cllr McQueen.
- Bruce Marshall has stated that he will support the application if a competent amendment can be brought forward. David Kinniburgh has stated that he will be doing the same. Robin Currie has stated that he hopes the application will be approved but the mitigation is insufficient. He is looking for an additional £420k in mitigation for various items. Neil McKay also looking to support it if an amendment can be put together but needs more mitigation.
- Summing up now underway.
Recent comments by Councillor George Freeman
- General Election part of the political Gallipoli of indy versus union
RitchieMac, as you will be aware, the number of submarines changes as new Astute Class boats come into service and boats go out of service. Although it is irrelevant as to whether there are 14, 15, 16, 17 or 18 submarines, the point I was making is that the SNP will insist on referring to the 4 Trident boats only so as to try and down play the number of jobs that are at risk and the massive loss to the Argyll & Bute economy.
Although the jobs numbers quoted may be a few hundred or so either way, it is noted that you have not challenged the approximate figures quoted and you have not tried to say that only 550 jobs are at risk if the SNP get their way which is the official line that the SNP continues to quote. You have also failed to comment on the line Brendan O'Hara argues "that the site could remain a base for existing submarines". This is certainly NOT SNP policy.
Do you agree with Brendan O'Hara that "Faslane and its current capacity is there and will stay"? How can this be? This is just a comment to try and gain a few extra votes.
As part of the Maritime Change Programme, all of the UK's submarine fleet is due to be based at Faslane. That is the reason for the additional jobs that are due to be created. As far as submarine numbers are concerned, there currently 4 Trident Class boats, 4 Trafalgar Class boats (was 5 but Tireless has just been laid-up), including the new boats in the pipeline, there will be 6 Astute Class boats and there are 7 boats laid-up at Rosyth. We can then add on to that the DSRV (Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle). At no stage did I say that there would be 17 submarines at any given time.
If you want to play with numbers as the SNP continually do, then based on the above numbers, there are 20 (if you only include 2 Trafalgar Class boats) that are currently based in Scotland or are due to be based in Scotland (excluding Tireless which is now laid-up in Devonport) that the SNP do not want here.
From what Brendan O'Hara now says, nothing will change and these will all remain in Scotland? Can this man be believed?
- General Election part of the political Gallipoli of indy versus union
I note that some of For Argyll's contributors were recently taking my name in vain and trying to attribute a number of comments on FA to me. Some of your contributors assumed that as information on Trident and Faslane had been placed on FA, this information must have come from me. Not so. I do have a wide range of information on this subject that I provide to many people and organisations so as to try and counter the misinformation that comes from the SNP and others who are opposed to Trident.
I note that Brendan O'Hara, the SNP candidate for Argyll & Bute, has been quoted in the Press and Journal (P&J) on their Complete Guide to Voting report where he is trying to mislead the electorate. When referring to Trident and Faslane, the P&J reports that: "SNP candidate Brendan O'Hara, lives in Helensburgh and is well aware of the issues. He argues that the site could remain a base for existing submarines without the need to spend £100 billion on replacing Trident" "There is a common misconception that that the SNP will close Faslane, which is not the case at all" he said. "As much as I personally would like to see all nuclear weapons removed from Scottish soil, that is not on the agenda. So Faslane and its current capacity is there and will stay" he said.
Although they do not like it being discussed in public, the SNP and Scottish CND have confirmed that they want all nuclear powered submarines removed from Scotland and not just the 4 Trident boats. Taking into account the new Astute Class boats, we are talking about a total of 17 submarines and not just the 4 that the SNP would have us believe.
On Jobs, a Scottish Enterprise ECOS Study confirmed that a total of 10,598 jobs were dependent on Faslane. That figure does not include the additional 2,000 that are due to be created as a result of the Maritime Change Programme which would bring the total up to approximately 12,500 jobs. Dr Philips O'Brien of the University of Glasgow confirmed that compared with other similar sized countries, if Scotland was to get rid of Trident and have its own conventional forces, the total number of jobs that would be left would be 2,000. These would be split with 1,000 based on the east coast and 1,000 at Faslane. A loss of over 11,000 jobs in Argyll & Bute.
The SNP are keen to highlight that the Trident replacement would cost £100 billion. What they do not say is that figure would be spread over the next 40 years (£2.5 billion per year). What they also keep quiet is that the welfare budget over the same period will be £10,380 billion (£260 billion per year). The cost of the Trident replacement is therefore less than 1% of the estimated welfare budget over the same period.
Apart from the jobs that would be lost within Argyll & Bute if the SNP were to get their way, Argyll & Bute Council would potentially lose massive sums of Non Domestic Rates (NDR) and Council Tax income. The rateable value of MoD properties at Faslane, Coulport etc is over £17 million. Based on the current poundage rate, this would generate a potential annual loss of over £7.5 million in NDR to Argyll & Bute Council. If we then include the Council Tax or Contribution in Lieu of Rates that the Council receives from the living accommodation within Faslane, that financial loss is pushed up to approximately £8.5 million per year.
These losses do not take into account the massive losses / costs that would be generated as a result of the massive redundancies that would result from the removal of all submarines from Faslane.
I believe that these facts must be taken into account when people cast their votes tomorrow.
- Castle Toward a gone deal
Firstly I should say that I agree with much of what John Semple and Integrity say above (but not all). I should also say that some of the comments from individuals above are totally misguided and/or misinformed. As far as yesterday's Council meeting is concerned, I believe that it is worthwhile clarifying a few issues.
I have produced many motions and amendments for Council and Committee meetings over the years, both as an opposition councillor and as an administration councillor. Many of these were straight forward and did not require advice from Council officers. Where an issue is even slightly complicated, sensitive or very important such as the Castle Toward issue, I would always take advice from Council officers on the competency of my draft motion/amendment well in advance of the meeting. Officers are always willing to give such advice to any councillor, be they part of the administration or not. I would never take the risk of turning up at a meeting with a motion or amendment that could be ruled incompetent. That would be a waste of everybody's time and would not help me to achieve the result I was looking for.
It should be remembered that it is the Provost who rules on the competency of any motion or amendment. Advice will always be provided by the appropriate officers but the final decision is the Provosts. As far as yesterday is concerned, the view of the Legal Manager was provided before officers gave final advice on the competency of Cllr Breslin's amendment to the Provost. Clear reasons were given as to why officers considered that the amendment was not competent. The Provost is in a no win situation whatever his decision. It would be a brave Provost or Chair of a Committee who would go against the advice of officers as they would have difficulty in justifying their decision.
I was most surprised to discover that Cllr Breslin had not taken advice from officers on the competency of his proposed amendment long before yesterday's meeting. That is a massive risk to take, especially on such an important and controversial issue. Personally, I would never have taken that risk and would have obtained advice from officers so that I was confident that my motion / amendment was not going to be ruled as incompetent at the Council meeting. Even if I was to lose the vote, it would ensure that the issue was debated and that I managed to get my views across in public. If Cllr Breslin did consider seeking advice from officers, I can appreciate why he may have decided not to do that.
As Alan Stewart of SCCDC and many councillors (including Cllr Breslin) and Council officers will be aware, I spent a great deal of time working on Business Plans and valuations in the lead up to yesterday's meeting and had prepared a wide range of questions/comments that I intended raising at the meeting. Unfortunately, because there was no competent amendment, I did not get the opportunity to raise any of these issues.
After the Provost had ruled Cllr Breslin's amendment not to be competent, he asked if there were any other amendments. I was surprised that at that stage, none of those councillors (such as Cllr Marshall, Cllr Blair, Cllr Strong, Cllr Dance or Cllr Breslin), some with years of experience, who had clearly expressed support in the past for the sale of Castle Toward to SCCDC at the reduced price, did not bring forward another amendment. There was no need for them to provide a detailed amendment. All they had to do was to move that the matter be continued to another day. Although they may still have lost the vote, that would have allowed the matter to be debated in public and would have given them the opportunity to have a roll call vote which would have recorded the names of every councillor and how they voted. Unfortunately, they did not take that opportunity.
My understanding is that the record will now show that the decision taken by the Council yesterday on Castle Toward was a unanimous decision of the Council.
I hope that this helps to clarify a number of issues with regards to yesterday's Council meeting.
- Castle Toward: the smoking gun
Newsroom states in her report that: "It is being said that members of the council's administration were told by senior officers only last week that they had no option but to sell at the District Valuer's price".
For the avoidance of any doubt, as a current member of the Council's Administration, I can categorically state that no such statement has ever been made by any Council officer or Member of the Council at any meeting that I have attended.
- Council Planning Committee meeting on 21st January promises to be lively – as 2 MSPs call for postponement
Integrity, I agree. When dealing with any planning application, especially those such as wind farms, fish farms and nuclear facilities that tend to attract a large number of representations (often from out with the UK), councillors are reminded that it is up to them to decide how much weight they apply to individual representations.
I would normally give much more weight to an objection or letter of support from someone who lives next to a proposed development and will see it on a daily basis than one from someone living at the other end of the country or in another country who is unlikely ever to see the development. I can only speak for myself but I am sure that the same applies with most councillors.
Many of the objections that were received against this planning application were clearly "political comment" and were highlighted as such by Planning Officers in their report to Committee and were certainly not material to the determination of the application. All the objections and the Planning Officer's report are available on the Council website for anyone to view.

I have mixed feelings about Parelli. I admire the fact that their horses adore them, but I went to one of their seminars and they advertised it like, "Buy our merchandise and you'll be able to do this tomorrow." It's the impression I got. Linda is an incredible bareback rider, though. :)
I don't agree with a lot of their methods, though. I saw an article about using an electric massager to get your horse used to the clippers. I have an idea. Why don't you use the clippers to get your horse used to the clippers?
And their saddles. Conventional saddles cause swayback and downhill build? That's the biggest load of garbage I've ever heard. Naturally poor conformation causes those flaws. Tons of horses who have been ridden in conventional saddles for twenty years are still in great condition. And like everybody has $4,000 to spend on a Parelli saddle.
They also say that tight legs and having your weight in your heels makes the horse tense and somehow debilitates them. That's why Linda always has her stirrups so long she practically has to point her toes.
Have you ever seen any Olympic or Grand Prix riders who ride like that? And look at their horses. They're sooo messed up aren't they? Judgement is 17 years old and still in peak condition, and still jumping at Grand Prix level (in a normal saddle!). Beezie has her heels down and legs tight, and he can still jump and move normally. He doesn't look tense or restrained at all. But get those heels up 'cause Linda Parelli says so! Jeez.
So yeah, they have their good and bad points.

Inter/Act allows young people with intersex conditions or DSD to overcome isolation and secrecy, come together, express themselves, and unite their individual stories to develop a voice for a new generation. It is time that their stories are heard.
And they are being heard! Since its inception in late 2010, Inter/Act's growing membership, ages 14-25 from across three continents, have made huge accomplishments. They collaborated on creating Inter/Act's Blog which gets over 2,500 hits per month. Youth members composed AIC's Summer 2012 Newsletter read by over 1,000 people. The brochures they authored, What We Wish Our Doctors Knew and What We Wish Our Parents Knew been distributed to over 2,000 people. Inter/Act members also created the trailblazing Second Wave video series in which they gathered the stories of intersex elders and movement leaders.
Young people have also been taking the lead themselves. On March 15th, 2013, AIC's Youth Leadership Coordinator Pidgeon Pagonis gave expert testimony at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the first young intersex person to do so!
2014 was a year of firsts for Inter/Act! We witnessed the first Inter/Act youth member joining AIC's board—setting new precedent for youth leadership in our organization. In February, Inter/Act recognized Fox New's blunder when discussing intersex as a teachable moment and wrote an open letter to the network. The host eventually apologized on-air after media outlets overwhelmingly supported the open letter. This success garnered from this success fueled the groups energy moving forward to the summer. In July, Inter/Act participated in the first ever intersex youth retreat in California. Members participated in building deeper relationships with one another, receiving in media advocacy training and planning next steps as a youth organizations. The retreat concluded with the youth participating in AIS-DSD Support Group CME Conference where they facilitated a best practices workshop to a room full of clinicians.
On August 8, 2014 Inter/Act member Emily B. teamed up with Pidgeon to co-facilitate a workshop to Lurie Children's Gender & Sex Development team about improving care for teens coming in to their clinic.
Finally, this summer Inter/Act youth have been consulting with MTV's hit teen dramedy "Faking it". AIC recognized Faking It's goal of "conveying positive messages for LGBT[QI] youth audience as an excellent opportunity to raise public awareness about intersex; linking the show with Inter/Act was the logical next step. Member Emily Quinn quotes, "thanks to MTV for giving intersex youth a main character like Lauren who is dealing with issues they can relate to." AIC is proud to work with Showrunner Carter Covington and MTV and anticipates this groundbreaking storyline will raise awarness to the public on intersex
Thanks to a generous grant from the Liberty Hill Foundation, Inter/Act is continuing to grow providing intersex youth an opportunity to break the barriers of shame and isolation, project intersex youth voices into the national and international discussion of treatment of intersex children and to inject meaningful intersex advocacy into the vocabulary of young queer activists.
Find out how you can support Inter/Act's historic work to make this exciting vision a reality here.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who easily charms everyone with his gentle and pleasant demeanour, says meeting new people still makes him feel awkward.
"Still am not used to the fact that when I meet new people I am a bit awkward, while they meet me with a familiarity of years. It's sweet," tweeted the 47 year old who has completed two successful decades in filmdom.
Shah Rukh made his big screen debut with "Deewana" in 1992 and since then he has charmed the movie buffs with his performances in films like "Baazigar", "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", "Devdas", "Swades", "Chak De India" and "My Name Is Khan".
Much before becoming big screen superstar, Shah Rukh earned a huge fan following among TV viewers with his role of an army man in TV show "Fauji", his first acting assignment.

JACKSONVILLE, FL - NOVEMBER 21: Colt McCoy of the Cleveland Browns warms up during a game agaisnt the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Field on November 21, 2010 in Jacksonville, Florida. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)
According to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com, the Cleveland Browns traded back up quarterback Colt McCoy to the San Francisco 49ers. The exact compensation is know at this time but looks to be a late round selection in the 2013 Draft. The Browns had already made up their minds on McCoy stating he wasn't starting material. Give the Browns credit for getting some value out of a quarterback that they had deemed expendable. Michael David Smith of Profootballtalk.com, McCoy will now go from a team rebuilding to a contender. Smith writes: The 49ers have 14 picks in this year's draft, so giving up a late-round pick isn't a bad move for them: Their roster is talented enough that 14 rookies aren't going to make the 53-man roster anyway, so going down to 13 draft picks is no problem. And they now have their backup to Colin Kaepernick after trading Alex Smith to the Chiefs. McCoy will make $1.5 million this season, thanks to escalators in his contract that bumped up his 2013 pay based on incentives he reached in 2011. var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

Hot Property: Prairie-style home in Piedmont ideal for first-time buyer
Jordan Guinn | October 18, 2013
Photo By Liz Rusby/The Grubb Co.The living room of 38 Portsmouth Road in Piedmont features beamed ceilings, picture windows and a fireplace.
Photo By Liz Rusby/The Grubb Co.The Prairie-style stucco home is nearly 100 years old and sits near several schools and parks in Piedmont.
Photo By Liz Rusby/The Grubb Co.The private rear patio includes a mature redwood tree, built-in bench and detached workshop.
Nestled near a plethora of parks, schools and markets in Piedmont is a Prairie-style home. The house at 38 Portsmouth Road includes two-plus bedrooms, an updated kitchen and remodeled bathroom and is on the market for the first time in nearly 10 years.
"It's ideal for a first-time buyer," said Karen Starr of The Grubb Co., who is co-listing the home with Brenda Schaefer for $795,000.
Set in an idyllic Piedmont neighborhood, the one-story home is near Wildwood Elementary School, Piedmont Middle School and Piedmont High School, as well as Witter Sports Field and Piedmont Park. The home itself boasts classic design elements and a private patio, as well as an updated kitchen and finished basement.
"The (sellers) have loved living there for the last eight years," Starr said. "They are moving solely because their children are teenagers now and they need more space."
Though the home is almost 100 years old, updates and improvements have been made to keep the space in touch with the times, such as the eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances and built-in display hutch.
The remodeled bathroom embraces the home's past with hexagonal floor tile and a claw-foot tub.
A finished basement provides flexibility for the home's future owners, as it includes a full bathroom and room for a home office or family room.
Behind the home rests a private patio with built-in bench. The backyard includes a mature redwood tree that shades the landscape.
"It's perfect for entertaining," Starr said.
The master suite, which includes a sitting area, looks directly at the home's backyard.
One of Starr's favorite features is the artist's workshop, a light-filled and spacious room located in the backyard. In addition to the natural light it receives, the versatility of the space is a significant benefit, Starr said.
"It's an ideal space for an exercise room, home office, or den," she said.
In addition to its proximity to parks and schools, 38 Portsmouth Road is roughly a mile from the Grand Lake Farmers' Market, held every Saturday.
Listing agents: Karen Starr, The Grubb Co., (510) 339-0400 ext. 224, email@example.com; Brenda Schaefer, The Grubb Co., (510) 339-0400, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Address: 38 Portsmouth Road, Piedmont
Asking price: $795,000
Features: Prairie-style stucco home with updated kitchen, remodeled bathroom and finished basement. Located near Wildwood Elementary School, Piedmont Park and Saturday's farmers' market.
Open home: Sunday, 2 to 4:30 p.m.

I have to really compliment your ideas that are more than just beautiful, but most imaginable, creative, and gorgeous jewlery. I will most certainly pick ideas for my children and my babies who are really deserving all I can give to them, which includes my creativity, and heartful true meaning of my love to them. I thank you for the ideas of making things that would fit my budget just that more manageable, believe me I am on lowincome and I receive only $38,99 a month, and I learned a lot about being very limited income.
