I didn't really struggle with "you're a dirty whore" feelings, though. Mine is more of just a general loss of respect.
I don't have confidence in her ability to make sound decisions, to select appropriate friendships, to maintain personal boundaries, etc. Of course, that could be because she doesn't seem to have made much progress since the A in making better decisions.
Now, I did have some interesting incidents where I began to find her physically repulsive in ways that I hadn't before. (Not to be crass, but I suddenly became very conscious of some of the effects of weight and age that I'd always overlooked before.) That wasn't constant, though. Just something that cropped up a dozen times or so over the first six months.
(I learned that if I avoided having sex with her for a week or so, I managed to get over it. :) ).
The people you do your life with shape the life you live
What I lost are some of the things w-a-l mentioned... loss of respect, confidence in her ability to make appropriate friendship... And this one especially come up when she keeps saying things like "I'll make sur enot to talk to anyone and never make any nbew friends" And all I can think is... Hon, it's not about making new friends or talking to people. It's about not telling them you're marriage sucks and f*cking them and agreeing to move in with them. If you can't figure out where the line is then you do have a problem.
The biggest one I lost is sincerely being able to know I always had a woman who stood by my side, thick and thin, no matter what. When I see a guy, proud of his wife... I just think "Gosh... I really wish I could make that speech someday... But if I do, I'll just be thinking in my head "And here's to my wife, who was with me through everyt... I mean, through almost everything."

It sucks to feel ashamed of your spouse on a regular basis.
Although the scar will always be there, a mutually loving, respectful relationship can heal many wounds.....with time and effort.

What does it take? Is it at all possible? Thanks for all the replies. I just want to be hopeful.

It is all about the lying and deceipt part of it to me, that someone I could love and trust so much could lie and hurt me without a blink of an eye and throw away every thing we worked for over the years..... and come home and look me in the eye like nothing was up???
I was gaining pride in her again until Dday#2 when I found out that she was still lying to me....
[This message edited by BadBack at 2:49 PM, October 3rd (Wednesday)]
i had all sorts of "dirty whore" thoughts about her for a while. those changed when i really started to understand why she did what she did. then i started to look at her w/ pity, pity for a weak-minded person.
at the moment, i'm able to trust her so far as to trust that she's not out balling someone else.
however, i don't trust her to make good decisions all the time.
i don't trust her to always be there for me the way a spouse should during times of trouble.
in fact, i don't trust her to be able to deal with crisis at all.
my faith in WW is dead.
and the only thing that will ever raise it from the dead is to see her go thru some sort of crisis with me, be mutually supportive of me, and stick w/ me. although, the thought just hit me that maybe she is doing it by R'ing, but that seems kind of hollow to me at the moment.
a biggie would be to see her actually admit what some of her own issues are (like how P-A she is) and admit that she needs to change those defficiencies. and then further to see her actually do it.
Like you, I'm *hoping* that it changes, and I'm doing what I consider to be the work to *get* to that goal, but there aren't any surefire road maps. So much of rebuilding respect depends on the actions of our FWW's.
I am very of proud of how hard she is working on herself now. She is working her ass off, and is making huge improvements.
Mine had her A when I was recovering from back fusion surgery...she had my back alright.... Im dead afraid to have any other medical procedures again even though I need another back surgery....even though she swears on her life she'll be there for me "this time"....
So, yeah, after I'd held her hand through her debilitating depression, the death of her father, the death of her grandmother, the very traumatic births of our children, the miscarriages, etc., when I actually needed *her* to stand up on her own and take care of me, she ran into the arms of my best friend (because he "understood what she was going through" fearing that I might die).
Yeah, there's a lot to respect there. Like BrokenBack, it makes me terrified to ever get sick again.
it does make you wonder if I'm ever in a bad accident...how quickly would she pull the plug on me??? something I wouldnt have worried about before....
[This message edited by BadBack at 3:23 PM, October 3rd (Wednesday)]
It's been two and a half years for me, and just last night, I found myself thinking "HOW COULD YOU?" It hit so hard I had to stop what I was doing and take a couple deep breaths before I could continue. So the timeline is still ticking for me.
As to your question about gaining respect again, I think that came as the result of a conscious choice. I decided that showing or feeling respect for her said more about me than it did about her.
I also had to admit that her confession, acceptance of responsibility, and efforts to fix what she'd broken were worthy of respect as well.
She said it would destroy her, but she loved me and just wanted me to be happy. If that meant D, then she'd do whatever I wanted. She said she hoped I would meet someone who made me happy again. She had tears streaming down her face at the time.
I realized then that this woman is truly sorry for what she did and really does love me. That she would be willing to let me go in order for me to be happy again, I thought was a pretty selfless act on her part.
I honestly respected her for that, and thought she deserved another chance. I don't regret my decision at all.
BTW, this was about 9 months post DDay#1

Are there some things for which infidelity kills not just immediate respect, but respect for all time?
For example, in the last year, I've listened to my wife give advice to a handful of her newlywed nieces on how to handle old boyfriends who are hanging around. Literally, all I can do is roll my eyes. As far as I'm concerned, she'll never have the right to advise anyone on stuff like that. She wants to give advice on paying for school tuition, fine. How to fix the dryer, great! How to deal with babies, you bet!
How to be faithful over the long haul? Prove to me that you can do it for ten years, and maybe -- maybe -- I'll take you seriously.
Prove to me that you can do it for ten years, and maybe -- maybe -- I'll take you seriously
- I guess this is where I'm fortunate. I didn't find out about FWW's little trysts until 12 years after the last one. So she at least has 12 years of fidelity to build on. I think that's pretty huge.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
The effort was there. The determination on offense and defense was there. But the results did not follow along.
In their final game of the season, the USU Eastern Lady Eagles fell to Snow College 62-49 on Thursday night in the first round of the Scenic West Athletic Conference Tournament.
While the team struggled on offense in the game shooting 25 percent from the field, the Lady Eagles found themselves down by three points with eight minutes left in the game.
But the inability to hit foul key foul shots down the stretch and hit open jumpers and layups left the Lady Eagles with an early exit to the season.
Throughout the offseason, the USU Eastern womens basketball team will be left with the thoughts of what could have been. The Lady Eagles defeated Snow in their previous three meetings this season and were close to getting a four game sweep of a conference rival.
Head coach Dave Paur said the game was a "frustrating way" to end the 2012-13 season.
"We played extremely hard buy it seemed like the ball just didn't go in the basket for us on offense that night and all season long," said Paur.
USU Eastern was hurt by shooting 20 percent from the field in the second half, Paur explained. Down 34-27 at the half, the Lady Eagles were able to keep things close through much of the second half. But in the final minutes, Snow continued to hit their foul shots and open jumpers while the Lady Eagles watched their shots bounce out or fall short of the rim.
"We have a great group that worked hard and played with effort, but we just couldn't get our shots to fall consistently," he said.
Now with players including point guard Hailee Parry and forwards Amy Arbon, Brooke Slade, Whitney Fieldsted on their way to graduating, Paur said the returning players and new recruits will have plenty of opportunities to step up and show their abilities.
"We want to be able to push the ball up the court quickly and play tough, aggressive defense," Paur said.
The USU Eastern women finished the season with an overall record 10-19 and a 6-9 mark in SWAC play.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Women's Basketball team has gone through plenty of anguish during a tough stretch to start the season. It hurt a little more on Tuesday night in Flood Arena in a 79-75 loss to Lake Forest College.
The Foresters erased a deficit that reached double figures at times during the game and got a basket and two free throws in the final four seconds to shock the Buccaneers.
Beloit trailed 12-3 five minutes into the game but went on a 9-0 run of their own over the next four minutes to pull into a 12-all tie. The game was tight for the next nine minutes, with neither team getting any separation. With the Buccaneers leading 29-28 with just under three minutes left they went on another 9-0 run to close the half and head to the lockerroom up 38-28. Kandace Fox's 12 points and ten from Lauren McNanna fueled the charge, as did 5-11 shooting from three-point land.
The Bucs maintained their lead through much of the second half, still leading by ten at 56-46 with 11:43 remaining. But LFC put together an extended 21-10 to take the lead at 67-66 with 4:28 left. From there it was close until the final seconds. McNanna tied the game at 75-75 with 17 seconds left before the Foresters got a basket with four seconds left. They then stole the inbounds pass and converted two charity tosses after a foul with one-plus seconds left for the final margin.
McNanna finished with 27 points while Fox had 16 before fouling out. Jenna Larsen had nine points and a game-high ten rebounds.
Beloit is now off until Wednesday, December 19, when they host Loras College in a 4:00 p.m. non-conference contest in Flood Arena.

Instrument power supply failure
MORRIS, Ill. (Oct. 11, 2010) - Dresden Generating Station Unit 3 automatically shut down at 10:04 a.m. today, as a result of an instrument power supply that failed. The plant responded as expected, safely and without incident.
Plant personnel will replace the instrument power supply, a mechanism that provides power to plant equipment, and then begin the start up procedures to return the unit to service.
The Dresden Unit 3 shutdown will not have an impact on electrical service to Exelon customers. Dresden Unit 2 continues to operate at full power.
Dresden Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. With both units running at full power, Dresden generates more than 1,700 megawatts net of electricity.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 486,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Baton Rouge, LA (SportsNetwork.com) - LSU running back Jeremy Hill announced on Twitter Monday that he will enter the 2014 NFL Draft.
"I am a Tiger for life. I will forever be grateful to my LSU fans, friends, coaches and family. This decision has been very difficult for me," Hill posted on his Twitter account before announcing his decision to go pro.
The news contradicts reports that Hill was planning on staying in school.
Hill rushed for 1,401 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2013, despite missing one game and part of another at the beginning of the season after being suspended for his second arrest. He rushed for a career-high 216 yards and two touchdowns in LSU's win over Iowa in the Outback Bowl.
As a freshman in 2012, Hill led the Tigers with 755 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns.
In addition, guard Trai Turner has reportedly decided to enter the draft.

I have seen pain management Drs but I can attest that Dr Goswami is one of the best Dr I have ever seen. I was really impressed on his ways to welcome a new patient. He was very accomodating to my needs,so patient to listen to my pain issues and showed that he care for well being. Just a wonderful caring dr overall. After my surgical procedure, He checked on my condition to make sure I was doing fine. Some Drs would have his staff do the calling, but not Dr Goswami . Overall, he is a very caring ,thoughtful nice dr. Thank you Dr Goswami for all your help.

Dr. Goswami is one of the most caring men I've ever known, and having him as my doctor has been wonderful. He really listens when I'm talking, and he looks me in the eye. My husband was blown away by Dr. Goswami's "bedside manner" when I had a procedure done. He truly is the kindest doctor I've ever had. He's thorough and knowledgeable, an absolutely excellent doctor.

Doctor was not helpful while working at another office close to his current location. He is more interested is checking my urine and pouring meds in his hands and counting them, than trying to assist in diagnosing my pain issue. He didn't listen to me, as he proud stubborn nature would not allow that. Thank God I am seeing and being well cared for by well respected Dr. Please do not visit Dr. Goswami, he treats women like trash, because it is how his culture is -- he expects women to worship him. Very disrespectful and not caring or the material that one would expect a doctor to behave like. If you visit him, and agree with this review, please share the same, as we need to stop Doctors like this from "treating" clients like this!

Hospice Foundation of Jefferson County Inc. has again asked for court approval to sell its Washington Street property, this time for more than double the amount it was due to receive under terms of an earlier approved sale.
The foundation, which provides financial support to Hospice of Jefferson County, filed a state Supreme Court petition Tuesday at the county clerks office seeking approval to sell 425 Washington St. to Watertown businessman Brian H. Murray for $350,000. Under state law, any sale of property held by a nonprofit organization has to be approved by the court.
The foundation had court approval in December to sell the property to N&G Rentals LLC, Watertown, for $150,000. However, Alexandria Bay real estate developer P.J. Simao, who has helped Hospice raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, objected, contending that the sale price was too low based on its estimated full market value, which the city set at $376,000.
When questions about the sale price surfaced, the principal of N&G Rentals, accountant Jerry R. Gardner, agreed to step aside and give the foundation more time to market the property. If a better offer was received within a six-month period, Mr. Gardner retained the right to match or top it. After Mr. Murray submitted his offer, Mr. Gardner said he did not plan to exercise his right of first refusal and he has submitted a release of his sale agreement with the foundation to the court.
Hospice will use proceeds from the sale to defray construction costs of its eight-bed residence, including office space, at 1398 Gotham St.

Feline Frank top cat at Pa. Trolley Museum
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley. But meow?
Write about the trolley cat at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum, and someone is bound to think its a typo by a reporter who meant trolley car.
Trolley cat, however, is part of the name of Frank the Trolley Cat, the resident feline at the museum outside Washington.
Hes named for Frank J. Sprague (1857-1934), who came up with the idea of a trolley wheel, according to trolley museum Executive Director Scott Becker.
The trolley museum was hosting a barbecue at its picnic area a little more than three years ago when people heard a car stop, a door open and close, and the car drive away.
A large, striped cat made his way to the barbecue, and hes been nuzzling museum staff, volunteers and visitors ever since.
In the afternoon, he lies on the ticket counter because he knows someone will pet him, and he likes attention, Becker said.
Hes the friendliest cat that Ive ever met. He likes to spend time in the repair shop. Hes been known to follow people up ladders.
The trolley museum encompasses about 50 acres in Chartiers Township, and in any barn including a car barn mice are a scourge.
Theres a history of car barn cats, Becker said. Mice are very destructive. They chew on wires. The fact that cats can chase mice out of the car barn, thats something that we like, so this is not a new phenomenon.
I know for a fact that hes a mouser. He also runs stray cats off the property. Lest anyone worry that Frank is subsisting on rodents alone, Becker feeds him daily and the pet now tips the scale at a hefty 14 pounds.
Frank has settled into a life as a trolley museum feline, except for actually riding the trolleys. Becker, who takes the cat - by car, not trolley - to a vet for an annual checkup, said the feline doesnt like automobile trips, either.
I say he has the most volunteer hours because hes in 24/7, 365, Becker said. He pretty much has become our mascot.
A newsroom cat aficionado took one look at a photo of Frank and immediately recalled another famous kitty associated with rails, Chessie, the napping tabby symbol of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway who was introduced in 1933.
Franks unusual domain led to a quick check of possible pets at some other area museums.
Clayton Kilgore, interim director of the Washington County Historical Society, said neither the LeMoyne House nor Bradford House in Washington harbors animals.
But he was aware that the Greene County Historical Society in Waynesburg had a resident cat a few years ago.
The cat crossed the road one too many times, and thats how it met its demise, said Linda Rush of Carmichaels, vice president of the board.
Even now we have cat toys in the storage room.
A successor feline stuck around the Greene historical society for a while but was adopted by then-administrator Bernice Fox.

Five days after the death of Michael Jackson the on-going worldwide discussion and mourning fully demonstrated the influences of an individual, especially a culture icon, on cultures in the context of globalization today.
As the speed of globalization accelerates, world cultures are more closely connected to each other than ever before. Traditional research in both cultural and cross-cultural psychology has focused on culture-based effects by identifying the influence of culture on the individual. However, the reverse relationship has attracted increasing attentions over time: individuals influence culture by the creation of institutions, symbols, and practices that carry and validate particular cultural meaning systems. Icons have been called "magnets of meaning" in that they connect many diverse elements of cultural knowledge (Betsky, 1997). Particularly, cultural icons demonstrate an incredible individual influence on culture – an influence stretching across boundaries of race, class, gender and nationality.
Michael Jackson is the best case. His music and clothes, his dance moves, and his massive live concert tours not only significantly influenced the pop music, but also "projected to the world the sense and the promise of a multicultural and tolerant United States". Like him or not, a cultural hero or a freak, for a long time this singer was considered as the "face of America" and the defining figure of the global pop culture.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Bronchial thermoplasty for severe asthma.
Treating severe asthma using radiofrequency (heat) energy.
Asthma is a condition that causes the airways to become narrower; the lining of the airways also becomes inflamed and starts to swell. Bronchial thermoplasty involves applying thermal energy to the airway wall. The aim is to reduce the amount of excessive muscle in the airway, and limit its ability to contract and narrow the airway, in patients with severe asthma.
OPCS4.6 Code(s)
E48.8 Other specified therapeutic fibreoptic endoscopic operations on lower respiratory tract
Y11.4 Radiofrequency controlled thermal destruction of organ NOC
In addition one of the following site codes is assigned:
Z24.5 Bronchus
Z24.6 Lung
Z24.8 Specified respiratory tract NEC
In addition an ICD-10 code from category J45.- Asthma is assigned.
The NHS Classifications Service of NHS Connecting for Health is the central definitive source for clinical coding guidance and determines the coding standards associated with the classifications (OPCS-4 and ICD-10) to be used across the NHS. The NHS Classifications Service and NICE work collaboratively to ensure the most appropriate classification codes are provided. www.connectingforhealth.co.uk/clinicalcoding

NEW BREMEN A one-vehicle accident in the town of New Bremen sent six people to hospitals Monday night.
Lewis County Undersheriff James M. Monnat said Hannah R. Murphy, 20, Castorland, was southbound in a 2004 Mazda 323 at 10:24 p.m. on Deveines Road when she got distracted as she looked down at the radio. As a result, the vehicle left the east side of the road and struck a tree, Mr. Monnat said. The vehicle suffered major damage.
Miss Murphy and front-seat passenger Travis M.R. Wicks, 22, Lowville, were taken to Lewis County General Hospital, Lowville, for treatment of back injuries.
A back-seat passenger, Chelsey L. Zehr, 20, Castorland, was sent to Lewis County General Hospital before being taken to Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, for treatment of a broken leg and knee.
Three unrestrained children in the back seat were sent to Lewis County General Hospital: a 3-year-old boy treated for a broken collarbone, and two girls, ages 6 and 11, who were treated for unspecified injuries, the Sheriffs Department report said.
Miss Murphy was charged with failure to keep right, speed not reasonable or prudent, one count of unrestrained back-seat passenger age 7 to 15, one count of unrestrained back-seat passenger age 4 to 6, and one count of unrestrained back-seat passenger under age 4.
All charges are returnable to New Bremen Town Court.
Deputies were assisted at the scene by the New Bremen Fire Department, Lewis County Search and Rescue, Beaver Falls Ambulance and Croghan Ambulance.

Grande Champagne
Cognac is rarely born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but generally from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them.
It can be made also exclusively from certain "cru", for example exclusively from "Grande Champagne", but of different ages.
Grande Champagne : about 13,000 hectares of clay and compact chalk soil. The Grande Champagne cru is located around the town of Segonzac. It produces a very fine, high-quality Cognac. It is known as the Premier Cru du Cognac.
Couprie - Sélection du Domaine
This Cognac has been aged in oak barrels for a few years in our cellars.
While this young, powerful Cognac does not show much oak influence, it has rich aromas and a round, attractive flavour.
The colour is slightly amber due to barrel ageing.Excl. Tax: €25.83 Incl. Tax: €31.00

Midwest Living Review
Fishing cottages, 1960s-era motels and family campgrounds -- these are plentiful along Michigan's sunrise coast. But a serenely romantic beachfront retreat was difficult, if not impossible, to find. Until now. The Huron House B&B, a 14-room enclave catering to couples (no children or pets permitted), offers luxury resort-style amenities such as huge four-posters with lush linens, fireplaces, Jacuzzis, wide-screen HD TVs, DVD and CD players, private decks and gorgeous views of Lake Huron. You'll also find a small refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker, free Wi-Fi and binoculars for better views of Mother Nature's handiwork. A complimentary breakfast (fresh croissants, coffee and juice) is placed outside your door each morning at your specified time. Our room was spacious with large windows overlooking the lake, cathedral ceilings, a sitting area near the fireplace and a bar-height table and chairs. A lovely landscaped garden area, complete with chipmunks scurrying to and fro, leads to the pristine beach where chairs and chaise longues await sunbathers. Views like this don't come cheap; room rates range from $165-205 per night. A disappointment for us was that nearby dining options (and by nearby, we mean 10-20 miles away) consist mostly of pizza parlors, sandwich shops and family-style diners. Then again, fancy restaurants are a dime a dozen, but the setting at Huron House is priceless.

After a super somber fall season (we're not complaining, just saying), the exuberant spring runways were a visual treat. One of the trends we loved was the sort of global bazaar vibe many collections seemed to be channeling. In the spirit of the above image from the Oscar de la Renta show, we pulled together some of our favorite items in keeping with this theme. Feel free to indulge, nothing's over $200!
1. Topshop Animal Print Dress ($70)
Always on trend and affordable, Topshop naturally has the most fantastic global bazaar offerings. We love this cotton (machine washable!) animal ikat print dress with a drop waist.
2. Forever 21 Eclectic Composite Necklace ($8.80)
One of the fall's main jewelry trends-the statement necklace-is lingering through the spring. This Lucite and plastic bead necklace with metal charms is quite sophisticated for Forever 21 and a great way to update your accessory stash.
3. Cocobelle Studded City II Sandal
It is imperative to start sourcing your spring and summer sandals now, as the best (most attractive, not necessarily most expensive) tend to sell out early. We suggest trying these Grecian-style leather sandals in brown, as shown above, black or natural. The stud detailing and ankle tie give the good old gladiator a bit more interest.
4. Yves Saint Laurent Mosaic Sun Powder Palette ($57)
While a beauty product might seem like a non sequitur, we had to include this beautifully patterned bronzing powder from YSL. It's one of the rare products pretty enough to come out in public.
5. J. Crew Wide Hand-Painted Enamel Zebra Bangle
At Just Cavalli, the models strode down the runway with thick bangles on their wrists. If a forearm full of bracelets seems a bit over the top, you can still get a hint of that feeling with this eye-catching bangle. It's available in brown, as shown, as well as black/white and yellow/white.
6. H&M Woven Clutch ($12.90)
While you're more than welcome to buy a big-ticket tribal clutch from say, Oscar de la Renta or Fendi, there are also many other options that won't max out your credit card. This fantastic (seriously, it's amazing in person) woven clutch won't be available at your local H&M until mid-February, but a piece with this price is worth the wait.
7. Spitfire Candybar Sunglasses
As we're talking all things spring today, why not throw in a pair of sunglasses? These oversized frames with curved sides are an easy classic to incorporate into your collection. We like the subtle details, like the curved arm and white and brown frame.
8. Anthropologie Brown Scalloped Rhinestone Cocktail Ring ($98)
Part of the global bazaar style involves wearing pieces that are inspired by natural materials (like wood and tortoiseshell). The shape of this coin-sized, resin, glass, and brass cocktail reminds of an exotic shell.
9. Diane von Furstenberg Printed String Bikini ($175)
DVF is the mistress of prints and has an eye for how a simple but bold pattern can really elevate simple design. Just check out the above swimsuit for an example. The string bikini's classic lines aren't exceptional, but the suit as a whole is, thanks to von Furstenberg's black, tan, and white print.

Reporter: Craig Smith
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - It will be a politics-packed weekend in Southern Arizona with the special election for Congressional District 8 just a few weeks away both candidates and their teams will be making the most of the time.
This weekend the Pima County Fair will be more than a place for fun and fried food. Because it's a hot spot for people, it's a hot spot for politics, so the Congressional campaigns of Jesse Kelly and Ron Barber will be there working to win over voters.
Because this is a special election caused by Gabrielle Giffords resignation, the election's in June, not November and that tight timeline means there's not a moment to waste.
Tuesday, while Jesse Kelly took a moment to celebrate his nomination, Ron Barber's backers were working the phone banks.
Now, the weekend is a prime time to put volunteers to work.
KGUN9 reporter Craig Smith asked Kelly grassroots director Lynne St. Angelo:"You've got the weekend ahead, what sort of opportunity does that present for you?"
She replied, "This is a great weekend, we're having several events that are happening this weekend. Tomorrow afternoon at Republican Headquarters we're having our kickoff, CD8 kickoff campaign and everyone will be there, all the candidates will be there, all the volunteers will be there, and we'll be having, food, and speeches, that's one thing that's happening."
Late Friday, the Barber campaign was working the phone banks and planning for face to face contacts.
Craig Smith asked Barber Deputy Campaign Manager Jessica Schultz, "When you go out on the weekend do you end up knocking on doors in neighborhoods or do you go where the activities take people on the weekends?
Schultz:"It's a combination of both. We definitely want to be out there visible at all the community events, there's the County Fair starting up. There's other events around Southern Arizona, certainly we want a presence there but we like talking to individual voters about issues they're concerned about."
This really is a challenging situation for the Kelly and Barber campaigns. They have a very quick run to the election June 12th, then even after we know who won that race, they have to basically keep campaigning for a whole new election for the Congressional District which will have slightly different boundaries and be called District 2.
All campaigns rely on volunteers. Because of the need to reach a voters very quickly we may see even more use of mass media than usual but campaigns put a very high value on persuasion face to face through meetings with volunteers or ideally, with candidates.

taken from dictionary.comsapient
"wise," 1468, from O.Fr. sapient, from L. sapientem (nom. sapiens ), prp. of sapere "to taste, have taste, be wise," from PIE base *sep- "to taste, perceive" (cf. O.S. an-sebban "to perceive, remark," O.H.G. antseffen, O.E. sefa "mind, understanding, insight"). Sapience "wisdom, understanding" is recorded from c.1300.
Plants have a preference as to what soil conditions, and what atmospheric conditions are suitable for them. They have evolved adaptations to such conditions and grow only where they can thrive in those environments. This is what the concept of Plant Biome is all about. You never see a palm tree growing in Siberia, because they are not adapted to the conditions in Siberia. Just like you never see a cactus or other succulents growing in Antarctica.
Plants have been on Earth well before animals. How do we know this? Animals needed oxygen to breathe, and oxygen was manufactured by plants.
I won't ask you if plants are wise, or self aware, because self is a delusion. However, I will say for a fact that you never see plants arguing and debating online about such obvious things as you and I have, which in my opinion makes them much wiser that you and I.
Thank you again for discussing this topic with me and sharing your opinions and understanding of The Dhamma. And thank you for being so kind and respectful in your discourse.

It's been a year since ex-Navy SEAL Ethan Kelly saw his wife Rachel alive. Now he's received an anonymous phone call claiming Rachel is alive. To find her, Ethan will have to doge bullets, cross a jungle, and risk falling captive to a deadly drug cartel that threatens his own demise.
©2010 Maya Banks (P)2012 Recorded Books
I love books and love to get lost in the fantasy. I'm always looking for a new good story to bury myself in. :)
"Very good start to the series :D"
4 stars
This was a very good story. I really liked both Ethan and Rachel and enjoyed seeing them come back together and work things out. I really like Maya Banks work and will be continuing with this series.
Ethan is an ex-SEAL and, when the story begins, is trying to get through the year anniversary of the death of his wife, Rachel. He's torn up and can't get past loosing her and just wishes there was some way he could go back in time or get her back. Impossible right? Well Ethan thought so too until he gets a package with pictures of someone that looks like Rachel. The information indicates that Rachel is being held in drug cartel camp down in South America. He's afraid to hope and goes to his brothers, who run a "Special Ops" company, for help.
3 of Ethan's brother's run KGI (Kelly Group International), which is a company that performs Ops like hostage/kidnap victim recovery & intelligence gathering among other things. When Ethan brings them the info he received, they are all in for planning a mission and going in to save her. Since the area she's supposed to be in is near where she was supposedly killed while on a aid mission for a charity a year before, they're hopeful it's really her. Because of her imprisonment and drugs that her captors used on her, Rachel doesn't remember much of anything except her name and Ethan's face. She almost wondered if his face was a figment of her imagination but thinking of him made her feel safe. When her rescue comes, she's so messed up that Ethan is the only one she'll trust, not remembering any of his brothers at first. There is a little bit of an issue getting out but they manage and everyone gets out whole, if slightly banged up.
Rachel has some recovering to do and Ethan stays by her side while it happens. She starts remembering some of his brothers but things are still iffy on her memory and recovering from the drugs takes a lot out of her. Ethan, being thrilled to have Rachel back in his arms, does everything he can to help her recover. They bond back together as she heals and they start getting back in to their relationship. Rachel's memory is still fractured and she doesn't remember much. Ethan is glad of this because before he thought she died, their marriage had been in a bad spot. Ethan was to blame and is hoping he can convince her of his love before she remembers so he can convince her to give him another chance. He takes care of her and she starts to settle in to being back home and meet people she doesn't remember that she used to know. Things go pretty well in this regard but there are difficulties. One of these is unintentionally caused by a homeless girl, Rusty, that Ethan's parents took in. I liked Rusty and hope she sticks around in the series...she seems like she'd make things interesting.
Most of the issues Rachel has settling in are to be expected but she does get run off the road at one point but they don't think anything of it at the time. Things are going pretty well when Rachel finally remembers about their marriage issues. Ethan tries to explain and does but they still have more talking to do when things go wrong and Rachel is taken by some bad guys who try to kill her. She gets past this danger just to have another attempt on her life. It becomes obvious that her faulty memory is hiding something that someone doesn't want to come out. In the end, the truth comes out and the bad guy is arrested. Rachel and Ethan talk things through and confirm that they love each other and want to make things work and then they start working their way to a HEA.
I thought this story was very good. Ethan and Rachel are flawed people but realistic and I really enjoyed seeing them get another chance at love. The characters (secondary characters included) are great and the story is interesting. I'm looking forward to trying the next book in the series. I'd recommend this book. Thumbs up. :)
Tell us about yourself!
"Good but not great"
Usually I expect more from Maya Banks. Since I finished her Sweet Series...I was expecting the same hot and heavy love scenes with a great set of characters to really enjoy. This book was okay..not great...the love story is pretty much predictable. I would say Maya does layout the Kelly Clan well enough that you may want to explore their individual stories. However, these books will not be a must have in my library. There was not enough drama or action to keep me wanting more.
"Nothing but Love!"
I fell in love with KGI series after reading The Darkest Hour. If you are in the mood for heartbreak, forgiveness, and redemption then this is the book for you! As always I hate giving anything away but this book made me run out and buy all of the books in the KGI series. Maya Banks has the unbelievable talent with her writing to draw a person into the story and anchor you not only to the main characters but to the secondary characters. So much so you anticipate their stories just as much as the main story.
Harry Berkeley is an amazingly talented reader. He brings such warmth to each of the characters and is the perfect complement to Maya Bank's writing talent. Now if Recorded books and Audible would get book two out before book six comes out next year!
"Are you OK?"
The Kelly family dynamic.
That other family of tough guys with a little psy powers thrown in. What was it called?
I haven't listened to this narrator before. It took me a while to get used to him as his style is a little aggressive. Many sentances start off more explosively than expected. He did a good job of making it easy to tell the different character apart but he made Rachael sound even wimpier that she was, or maybe she just was.His womens' voices were pretty good. He didn't use a grating falsetto - he did pitch his voice a little higher than the mens voices, but her relied more on intonation and timing to feminize them and I thought it worked well.
This book was a little lighter on the *hot* scenes that others by this author. The narrator did a good job when the going did get steamy-he didn't hesitate and he didn't sound unaffected either - I liked it!
I guess, I did. Even though I found myself taking to the characters - "don't be so stupid.." etc.
Really I want to give this a 3.5. The premise was good and I like books that are as much emotion driven as action driven so that was ok. But the dialog dragged. Seemed as though someone said " Are you ok?" on every page. Rachael's ordeal was pretty tramatic so I guess she deserves some slack but she did tend to internalize everything and then decide to talk to - her brothers in law? Get a clue girl - talk to your husband! And Ethan - big boys do cry. He spent so much time hesitating while he tried to cover his feelings that he was either emotionaly absent when Rachael needed him or actually physically absent from the room every time anything bad was about to go down.I am going to read the next in the series but if it doesn't pick up a bit I'm done.
"A good start to the series"
The ending wasn't as good as Ms Bank's Highlander series, but still worth the price. The suspense was good until the very end. The resolution was over too fast for me. I will be purchasing the series in order and hope book 5.5 resolves some of my questions about Rachel and Ethan
(Audible wont let me delete this review posted to the wrong book. Hope this helps)
"Excruciatingly tough to endure."
Of course we all have our own individual preferences and the only way one knows if you like a book is to listen to it yourself. I am a fan of MB books and I found myself, forcing myself to listen to this book until the end.
I was disappointed to find this story boring, sickeningly filled with overdone "lovey doviness", and a ridiculous amount of mundane descriptions. At points, I found myself speaking out loud in frustration. Don't get me wrong there are some good points in the story, but overall it leaves a lot to be desired. The narration unfortunately left even more to be desired. When I listened to the preview snippet I thought the sexy accent would surely heighten the enjoyment, but OMG he was so very boring. I am a fan of Kresley Cole, J D Tyler, Jeanine Frost, and Gena Showalter to name a few, and was hoping the KGI series would be of their caliber, like MB's other books. As a MB fan, I'm hoping the KGI stories get better and am going to try Book 2. But, If 2 is as bad as Book 1, then I will not be able to recommend them at all.
I love being swept away by a new romance and thankfully Audible's ever growing Library means I get to indulge myself over and over again
Well unfortunately I've been a bit slow to listen to this series because Audible released them out of order and I wanted to wait and listen to them in order - which I'm so pleased I can now do and hey, better late than never.
This was a great listen (as most of Maya's books are) and it hooked me in from the start as grieving drunk ex Navy Seal's greatest wish is granted as he finds out his wife could still be alive and asks for all his brothers in the KGI Team to help free her.
There's action, thrills, passion and heartache as the story unfolds and we learn about all the characters involved in the KGI Team as well as the two main characters and their on/off relationship which is sorely tested. I thought the sex/passion scenes were a wee bit 'tame'' for M.B.'s usual books but it was still a very enjoyable listen.
Worth a credit? Yes absolutely, and I'm looking forward to the next one.
Addicted to any type of Romance/Erotica audio books.
I loved this book! After listening to this 1st book in the series, I have already purchased the rest of them. The narrator was great, I love a strong male character especially when the narrator has a strong male voice!! If you love Maya Banks, you will love this series, it may just be the best one yet!
"Like this series"
I listened to the later books first because they were the only available on audio and liked them all. This one was no exception. I like the characters and story lines of each book. The heroine in this one was brittle but still strong if that makes sense. Not an easy balance to keep.
I'm waiting for the rest of the series to be put on audio. My eyesight is very poor and I can't read printed books so audio book mean a lot to me.
I love Harry Berkely. I try not to let a bad reader ruin a book but when there is one you like this much it makes the book better.
"Hunky brothers"
There's six brothers, unless I missed someone. Three of them run KGI which is an ops company. They do intelligence gathering, rescues, etc. Two of them are still in the armed services. The sixth one is Ethan who is an ex-Navy seal. Not sure what he's done the past year when he thought his wife was dead. On the anniversary of her death he receives news that she might still be alive. He calls on his brothers and they form a rescue mission.
There's action, a mystery (who wants Rachel dead and why) and some tame love scenes. It's also about the relationship between Ethan and Rachel, before and after her kidnapping.

(2) A bonus may not be paid under this section to an individual who is appointed to or who holds—
(A) a position to which an individual is appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate;
(B) a position in the Senior Executive Service as a noncareer appointee (as such term is defined under section 3132 (a)); or
(3) In this section, the term "employee" has the meaning given that term in section 2105, except that such term also includes an employee described in subsection (c) of that section.
(b) The Office of Personnel Management may authorize the head of an agency to pay a retention bonus to an employee if—
(1) the unusually high or unique qualifications of the employee or a special need of the agency for the employee's services makes it essential to retain the employee; and
(c) The Office may authorize the head of an agency to pay retention bonuses to a group of employees in 1 or more categories of positions in 1 or more geographic areas, subject to the requirements of subsection (b)(1) and regulations prescribed by the Office, if there is a high risk that a significant portion of employees in the group would be likely to leave in the absence of retention bonuses.
(1) Payment of a retention bonus is contingent upon the employee entering into a written service agreement with the agency to complete a period of employment with the agency.
(A) The agreement shall include—
(A) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a written service agreement is not required if the agency pays a retention bonus in biweekly installments and sets the installment payment at the full bonus percentage rate established for the employee with no portion of the bonus deferred.

Except as provided in regulations of the Office, the employee shall continue to be paid the retention bonus through the end of the pay period in which such written notice is provided.
(4) A retention bonus for an employee may not be based on any period of such service which is the basis for a recruitment or relocation bonus under section 5753.
(1) Except as provided in subsection (f), a retention bonus, which shall be stated as a percentage of the employee's basic pay for the service period associated with the bonus, may not exceed—
(A) A retention bonus may be paid to an employee in installments after completion of specified periods of service or in a single lump sum at the end of the full period of service required by the agreement.
(B) An installment payment is derived by multiplying the amount of basic pay earned in the installment period by a percentage not to exceed the bonus percentage rate established for the employee.

Pilon fractures affect the bottom of the shinbone (tibia) at the ankle joint. In most cases, both bones in the lower leg, the tibia and fibula, are broken near the ankle.
Pilon is a French word for pestle, an instrument used for crushing or pounding. In many pilon fractures, the bones of the ankle joint are crushed due to the high-energy impact causing the injury. Pilon fractures may be considered high-energy ankle fractures.
Because of the energy required to cause this type of fracture, 25% to 50% of patients have additional injuries that require treatment.
Pilon fractures are most often caused by high-energy impacts, such as:
- Fall from height
- Motor vehicle/motorcycle collisions
- Skiing
Risk Factors
- Age. The average age of someone with a pilon fracture is 35 to 40 years old. Pilon fractures are rare in children and elderly people. However, as our population ages, seniors will account for a larger amount of these fractures.
- Male. Men are three times more likely than women to have pilon fractures.
Air Bags
In recent years, there has been an increase in pilon fractures. This is due to the impact airbags have had in saving people's lives. Before there were airbags, most people did not survive high-speed car crashes. More people survive these crashes now, but because airbags do not protect the legs, there are also more leg injuries like pilon fractures.
- Immediate and severe pain
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Tender to the touch
- Cannot put any weight on the injured foot
- Deformity ("out of place")—your ankle looks angled or crooked
After discussing your symptoms and medical history, your doctor will examine your lower leg and ankle. This will include looking at your ankle and pushing on different areas to see if it hurts.
Your doctor will check for sensation and look for a pulse to make sure there is blood supply to your foot and ankle. He or she will also check for swelling, which may determine if and when surgery can be done.
Along with the physical examination, x-rays of your leg, ankle, and foot are the most common ways to evaluate your ankle. They can show whether a bone is intact or broken.
A computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan is commonly done to evaluate your ankle joint. This type of scan can create a cross-section image of your ankle. Your doctor may order this scan right away, or wait until after an external fixator (discussed below) is applied.
Many pilon fractures require surgery, but some stable fractures can be treated nonsurgically. Whether or not your doctor recommends surgery often depends on how out of place (displaced) the fractured pieces of bone are. If the pieces are aligned and stable, nonsurgical treatment may effectively heal the fracture.
For patients with significant health problems, surgery may pose too great a risk. Nonsurgical treatment may also be a better option for patients who do not do a lot of walking.
Nonsurgical Treatment
Splints and casts. In most cases, your doctor will first apply a splint to hold your ankle in place. Once the swelling goes down, your doctor will replace the splint with a short leg cast. To provide effective support, your cast must correctly fit your ankle. As the swelling in your ankle changes, you may need frequent cast changes.
Monitoring. Your doctor will closely monitor the healing of the fracture. You will need to return to the clinic regularly and repeat your x-rays to make sure your ankle remains stable.
Recovery. You will most likely not be able to put weight on your ankle for as long as 12 weeks after your injury. After 6 weeks, your doctor may replace your cast with a removable brace. This will offer continued protection while your ankle continues to heal.
Surgical Treatment
If your pilon fracture is out of place, the most common way to treat it is with surgery. During surgery, metal implants — such as plates and screws — are used to hold things in place until the bone is fully healed.
If you have significant swelling or blisters, your doctor will delay your surgery until the swelling goes down. Surgery that is performed too early increases your risk for infection or problems with your incision.
Your doctor may place your ankle in a splint until your surgery, or recommend that you have two surgeries:
- If your fibula is also broken, the first surgery will fix the fibula fracture and get your ankle back into place. Your surgeon will use an external fixator to hold your pilon fracture in place. This fixator is a stabilizing frame that holds the bones in proper position so they can heal. Threaded pins are placed in bone above and below the fracture. The threaded pins attach to a metal bar outside the skin.
- Once the swelling and blisters go away, your doctor can perform surgery to fix the tibia bone with plates and screws.
If the skin and bone are severely damaged, using plates and screws and large incisions may injure the skin further. This may result in infection. In this case, you may be treated with an external fixator only or with an external fixator and some screws.
Early Recovery
Because your leg and ankle will be immobilized for a period of time, you will be at greater risk for blood clots. To decrease your risk for a clot, your doctor may prescribe a blood thinner while you are waiting for surgery and early on during your recovery.
You will most likely start moving your ankle after 2 to 6 weeks. This will depend upon your surgeon's preference, your fracture type, and the treatment method used for your injury. If you have an external fixator, you may not be able to start moving your ankle until the external fixator is removed.
Most patients are not able to put all of their weight on the ankle for 2 to 3 months. Crutches or a walker can be used during that time.
Once you are allowed to start moving your ankle, your doctor will place your ankle in a removable cast/brace. When you do therapy exercises, you can remove the brace. These first exercises focus on improving the range of motion in your ankle. Strengthening exercises will be added to your therapy exercises around 6 weeks after surgery.
As you transition to regular shoes, you will gradually stop wearing your brace. By 4 months after surgery, you will no longer need crutches or a cane to walk.
It is important to continue the exercises, even after you have completed the formal physical therapy program.
Complications that may occur with pilon fractures include:
Stiffness. It is very common to have ankle stiffness after a pilon fracture. Your ankle will not be like it was before your injury. It is very common to have difficulty bending your ankle as far back as you were able to before your injury. It may also be difficult to go up and down stairs, or climb a ladder. Being consistent with your exercise program will help relieve stiffness and discomfort.
Ankle arthritis. Chronic ankle pain can occur after a pilon fracture. This pain can be related to stiffness, scar tissue, and ankle arthritis. Ankle arthritis occurs in up to 40% of people with pilon fractures. Your risk for arthritis is mostly determined by how bad your fracture was (how out of place it was, if the bones broke through your skin, and how many broken pieces there were).
Many people have ankle arthritis, yet have little pain and no need for further surgery. Your doctor will develop a treatment plan for your ankle arthritis or stiffness based on your individual problems.
Infection. By delaying surgery in severe injuries, surgeons have continued to decrease the risk of infection and wound problems. This risk has been brought down to 10% or less of patients with pilon fractures.
Minor infections are treated with antibiotics and dressing changes. More severe infections may require intravenous antibiotics for several weeks at a time. Surgery is also sometimes necessary to get rid of the infection. In a small number of patients, the infection cannot be cleared. In these cases, amputation is required.
Bone healing problems. If your fracture is failing to heal, further surgery may be required. Surgery to promote healing usually includes placing a bone graft over the fracture, as well as new plates and screws.
Painful plates and screws. In some cases, the plates and screws irritate the skin or cause discomfort. Some patients choose to have their plates and screws removed after the bone has healed.
Additional complications of pilon fractures include:
- Wound healing problems
- Blood vessel or nerve damage
Long-Term Outcomes
How you do after your injury depends upon several things:
- How severe your injury is
- What type of job you have
- Other medical problems that you have
- If you injured your leg at work
Depending upon your job or recreational activities, there is up to a 90% chance that you can return to your preinjury activity level. However, if you have a demanding manual labor job or enjoy high-impact recreational activities, you may need to consider changing professions or limiting your activities.
Patients who enjoy high-impact activities, like sports, usually do not resume them until 6 months after surgery or injury. If you have a manual labor job, you will typically need 4 to 6 months of rehabilitation before going back on full duty at work.
It is common to limp for several months after your injury because of stiffness, discomfort, and weakness. Studies have shown that people with pilon injuries often continue to improve for up to 2 years after injury.
What to discuss with your orthopaedic surgeon:
- When will I be able to start putting weight on my leg?
- How long will I be off work?
- Do I have any specific risks for not doing well?
- If I have to have surgery, what risks are there?
- Do I have weak bones?
- Will I get arthritis?

NEWS: Rangers Trade Chad Kolarik To Penguins/Acquire Benn Ferriero
2:03PM: Brian Boyle told the Rangers website that while he hasn't seen much Ferriero the last few years, "I know he can play."
10:29AM: Brian Costello of The Hockey News tweets that the Rangers had been offering up Kolarik for a while.
9:37AM: The Rangers have traded Chad Kolarik to the Penguins for center Benn Ferriero
Ferriero, 25, is 5-11, 185lbs and was originally a seventh round pick of the Coyotes.
He has played 92 games in the NHL with the Sharks with 14 goals and 8 assists.
Ferriero played four seasons at Boston College and is from Essex, Mass. He spent his first two seasons at BC with Brian Boyle.
This season, his first with the Penguins organization, he had 4 goals and 14 assists in 34 games.
The Hockey News list Ferriero's potential as a depth forward.
His cap hit is $700,000.
At sister site CSN Bay Area, Kevin Kurz writes "Despite some injuries up front, Ferriero once again failed to secure a regular place in the lineup and was not particularly effective even when he was in. Ferriero has had ample opportunity to establish himself as an everyday NHL player, but it just hasn't happened. It's time to give someone else a shot."
Brodie Brazil says that Ferriero has a knack for scoring timely goals and more than half of his goals at the NHL level directly helped the Sharks win. He adds "he works hard, he skates hard, and he can be pesky to opponents around the crease. In retrospect, it would have been nice to see #78 unquestionably thrive in that window of opportunity he was given, during the Havlat injury. "
NEW YORK, January 24, 2013 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has acquired forward Benn Ferriero from Pittsburgh in exchange for forward Chad Kolarik.
Ferriero, 25, has registered four goals and 14 assists for 18 points, along with 14 penalty minutes in 34 games with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League (AHL) this season. He ranks third on Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in assists, is tied for fifth on the team in points and ranks second in shots on goal (97). The Boston, Massachusetts native tallied six assists in a seven-game span from October 19 at Springfield to November 2 at Manchester, and registered 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in a 10-game span from November 10 against Portland to December 7 against Hershey.
The 5-11, 195-pounder has skated in 155 career AHL contests over four seasons with the Worcester Sharks and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, registering 48 goals and 73 assists for 121 points, along with 68 penalty minutes. He established career-highs in games played (58), goals (19), assists (31), points (50), shots on goal (164) and penalty minutes (20) as a rookie during the 2009-10 season.
Originally selected by the Phoenix Coyotes as a seventh round choice (196th overall) in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, Ferriero signed as a free agent with the San Jose Sharks on August 23, 2009. He has registered 14 goals and eight assists for 22 points in 92 career NHL contests over three seasons with San Jose. He established a career-high with seven goals in 35 games last season. He made his NHL debut with San Jose on October 1, 2009, at Colorado, and registered his first career point with a goal two days later at Anaheim. Ferriero has also notched one goal in eight career playoff contests with the Sharks.
Kolarik, 26, has registered 16 goals and 19 assists for 35 points, along with 38 penalty minutes in 41 games with the Connecticut Whale (AHL) this season. The Abington, Pennsylvania native was acquired by the Rangers from Columbus in exchange for forward Dane Byers on November 11, 2010. He was originally selected by the Phoenix Coyotes as a seventh round choice (199th overall) in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.

The purpose of the pilot study is to test the efficacy and safety of riboflavin/Ultraviolet A (UVA) cross-linked human donor corneas as carriers for the Boston Keratoprosthesis (Boston KPro) in patients with higher risk for corneal melting (keratolysis). The corneal cross-linking technique has been shown to strengthen the cornea and resist degradation by the body's own enzymes. The use of highly-resistant donor corneas is meant to eliminate the serious post-operative complication of corneal melting (keratolysis) that repeatedly occurs in Boston KPro patients with severe ocular burns, autoimmune and cicatrizing diseases.
