5 Signs We're Being Used for Sex. {Adult}
"Booty calls". "Friends with Benefits". "Fuck Buddies".
Whatever we chose to call them, there are relationships out there that are based primarily on sex.
In theory, I don't have a problem with that: my overall philosophy is as long as all parties are consenting adults and no one is getting hurt, any sort of relationship that people chose to get into is fine.
However, I've recently had a number of friends and acquaintances come out of relationships where one party was only interested in sex and failed to tell the other. Worst of all, the other party believed that there was genuine love and connection in the relationship, when in fact it was all one-sided.
While I've found that no break-up is truly amicable, there is something especially upsetting and hurtful to learn that the person you thought you loved and had a real connection with, was with you only or primarily for sex. In a few cases, these experiences were downright traumatic. At the very least, as one friend put it, such experiences do little to help one's self-esteem and self-worth as a person.
Not surprisingly, women are much more likely to be "used" for sex than men.
Speaking from my own experience, I simply cannot have sex with someone for a period of time and not love them. Blame it on hormones, the differences in how the female brain is wired, etc., but most women I know feel the same way.
Men, however, tend to be different. As one male friend of mine put it, "If it's an offer, I'll take it." Crude, but he's not alone in this. (And just to be fair, I have had a few male friends who were in relationships where they were used as sexual objects by women.)
In any case, there are usually certain signs if your significant other is only interested in sex. While this list is no way definitive, these are the ones that have come up over and over again in conversation.
1. Your partner only compliments you in physical terms.
Everyone enjoys a compliment every now and then. It's nice to hear that you are pretty or handsome or even that you have a nice ass from time to time. However, if all you ever get in the way of compliments is comments about how you look, it may be a sign that your partner does not think about you beyond the physical.
Another major sign is if your partner constantly refers to your body (or specific parts of your body) in crude terms. (i.e., "tits", "pussy", etc.) While there is nothing wrong with occasional "dirty talk", constantly referring to your body in such a way, especially if you are not suggesting it, may be your partner objectifying you and having little interest in what lies between your ears.
2. You never meet their friends.
This should be a huge red flag. My philosophy is that even if someone is "only" my friend, it's just basic manners to introduce them to my other friends especially if we happen to be in public together and run into someone.
Frankly, if you are having sex with someone and they do not even acknowledge your existence to their friends, take it as a sign that you are not "the one" for them.
3. They want to constantly role play.
Again, I am not the sort to dictate what anyone should do in the privacy of their bedrooms. If role playing is your thing, then go for it. However, if your partner is the one who is constantly suggesting role play, wants you to pretend to be someone else, and only wants to have sex with you if you are in role, then the intimacy you crave may not be there.
I'm not talking the little things but major things like the death of a pet, the first day of a new job, etc.
Ideally, a boyfriend or girlfriend is first and foremost a friend. Friends by their definition love you. They are there for you even if it is only in the form of a short text or email showing their support.
If someone is not there for you, then they do not love you. Even though it may be painful to acknowledge this and the temptation to make excuses for them may be strong, it really is as simple as that.
5. It's very one-sided.
I was in a relationship once where I was constantly doing things for my then-boyfriend (i.e. I cooked for him, folded his laundry and picked up the bill the majority of the times we went out). He, on the other hand, seldom even said thank you, much less returned the favor.
Unfortunately, this is very common in relationships where one party is interested primarily in sex and the other wants a "real" relationship.
Often, asking the other party if they are only in it for sex, seldom results in an honest answer. The fact is, people lie, especially when it is in their best interest to do so.
Most of the time when we feel that we are being used for sex it is because we are.
As painful as it can be, extracting ourselves from such relationships is often the best thing we can do for ourselves.
While many of us make the mistake in thinking we can "make" someone love us by giving them our bodies, it simply is not the case.
To paraphrase Bonnie Raitt, it truly is impossible to make someone love us when they don't. Loving or perhaps more correctly lusting for someone's body is not the same as loving their mind. While there is nothing wrong with two people coming together to satisfy mutual lust, there is something inherently wrong and potentially damaging with loving someone physically and emotionally who does not return the feeling.
If it happens to be a case where there is uncertainty, perhaps go on hiatus for awhile and see if your former partner returns and more importantly, the reasons they cite for wanting you back in their life.
If they don't come back, then please refrain from beating yourself up, feeling that there is some failing within yourself, or that somehow you are the one lacking as a person.
The truth is, we all deserve to be treated with a minimum amount of respect and love. As painful as it sounds it's nonetheless true: none of us can ever truly lose someone we never had to begin with in the first place.

Thank you very much for stating this so clearly: it really hits home for me, not in terms of a FWB relationship, but re a friendship that seems to have run its course.
Thanks, Scott.
Yes, that is true in any relationship-romantic, friendship, etc.
Well written, well said and very true in my opinion. Thank you for this.
Thanks for your comments! I am glad you enjoyed it.
as an older woman who experienced every kind of sexual experience-passionate consensual love affairs (the best), rape (the worse), a long term marriage, early promiscuity and now single hood and celibacy (hopefully not too long term), I feel like I can offer some wisdom here.
a woman is not the same as a man. (duh)….that being said, a woman can derive a great deal of pleasure, power and passion from one of these "friendship with benefits" relationships, but not, I think, long term-at least not most women. Most women (and actually most men) derive their greatest pleasure from making love-juicy, delicious and intimate love-with someone whose heart embraces their heart.
Our culture has never served women well-first there was the pressure to be perfect-a virgin until marriage, and then a passionate woman only within the boundaries of marriage. Now women are out in a sexual Wild West-the expectations are that they should be very sexually available, and that imprisons them in a different way. Of course the risk of unwanted pregnancy and STD's are never completely absent.
So as in every thing, I would be mindful about my sexuality, especially as a young woman-never be coerced or shamed into doing anything, but also don't be afraid to take the occasional chance. Protect yourself, but don't place yourself into a box, unavailable to life's experiences.
This is excellent advice. Thanks for your feedback and comments.
I recently ended a FWB relationship because I felt like my female friend wanted more and was falling in love with me, and it made me uncomfortable. I really do love this person as a friend and I was there for her lately when crap hit the fan. This was my first experience with a real FWB arrangement, it worked for a while, but not for the longterm — which is really what I anticipated anyway. My experience with women and sex has been that often they will say that they are okay with a no-strings type of relationship, but that often turns out not to be true as demonstrated by their behavior and desire for a LTR. Personally I don't think I will pursue a FWB relationship again anytime in the near future — the risk of one of the people falling in love is too much and can hurt both people when it happens.
How did it hurt you if you didn't have feelings and it were only an FWB arrangement? Not judging you but trying to understand how (some) men feel/ rationalize in that situation?
Karen, thank you for these thoughts. I have been married to the same woman for 30 years. I can't even remember what dating was like. I don't think I'd like it very much. Sex without deep love seems like it would be pretty un-fulfilling. As a very regular guy at age 50 I seek the total package of intimacy. Don't get me wrong, I love sex. But, I believe that a "friends with benefits" type relationship would not suit me at all. If that's what it came down to I would wait. So, you're right. A lot of men want intimacy, spiritual connection, along with the nasty monkey sex.
How do you know all of this? Where are the studies? Where is the substantiation other than "As one male friend of mine put it, "If it's on offer, I'll take it."?
This kind of article has the potential to harm healthy relationships – it's awful, destructive advice.
It's not a very mindful piece at all and I don't think it should exist on this site.
"Most of the time when we feel that we are being used for sex it is because we are." How do you know that? Where are the numbers?
This is a dangerous piece.
If you disagree with my points, fine. However, I take issue that this is dangerous. How exactly is it?
I don't claim to be an expert or a social scientist. I did not cite number or studies because this piece was not pretending to be an academic journal article.
However, as someone who has been there more times than I wish to admit, I think it's dangerous to one's self-esteem and self-worth to be in a relationship where one person is only there for sex and the other believes or wants to believe there is more to it-i.e., love, affection, whatever.
BTW, this has nothing whatsoever to do with healthy relationships. It's about one sort which I and many others do not consider healthy.
"This kind of article has the potential to harm healthy relationships – it's awful, destructive advice."
What kind of "healthy" relationships would have the characteristics listed above?
1. Clearly this article hit a nerve for you, giving you the opportunity to reflect upon why that is. So, that is a good thing.
2. Nowhere in this article does it state, "scientific studies have proven…" that isnt the flavor or the voice of this article. And it isnt posted in a professional journal. It is filled with statements like, "from my own experience" and "from what Ive observed in those around me." So, it is one person sharing her own perspective and experience.
3. The five points offered as potential signs of one-sidedness in a relationship were stated as "ones that come up over and over in conversation." And just as a sidebar my own personal observations and experience correlate with the authors, so to me these points ring "true" and are therefore good food for thought.
Good writing is that which creates an impact upon the reader. Sometimes when something strikes a nerve it is because it is touching something that we dont want to look at (Im not suggesting this is the case for you, Im speaking in general terms). Whether you agree or disagree with the opinion stated this article is well written and valuable.
Your criticisms sound extremely harsh and disproportionate to the sentiment of this article…
I will throw a couple more:
– not spending the night together. But if it happens, it will happen a the one being used so you can leave as soon as you can or want.
– not willing to meet family
– will never say words that can mislead (I love you, etc).
A good point on the article; as long as both persons agree, it's ok. Problem is that when one starts feeling other way (will happen eventually) and assumes the other one will end feeling the same.
I agree with these. All true.
Thank you so much for reading and commenting.
Well written and probably true most of the time. Most women have innate compassion and are in touch with emotions more than men (at least on average). This is a great quality of womankind which I admire. It is unfortunate and wrong that it is often turned against them. Perhaps because men have historically been more involved in life and death situation, they seem to have evolved a convenient emotional "off" switch, but that doesn't mean they cannot feel nor does it excuse the sort of behaviour discussed here. There are a lot of kind, emotionally connected men out there who could not engage in sex without having a genuine connection with their partner. I know. I'm one of them. And this, in turn, implies that they too can be hurt or used by less evolved people.
Thanks for the comments.
I know a lot of evolved men, too, who cannot have sex without having some sort of genuine connection. There are actually a lot of them out there.
Thank you for writing this piece, and I enjoyed reading the insightful comments from others. I, personally, do not feel that this article is "dangerous" in any way, shape, or form. On the contrary. You kindly state a number of different areas for us to examine with respect to relationships that may not be serving us well. I see no harm in that. If anything, your work is filled with compassion for people that could very well be recognizing themselves as they read your work.
Thank you, Gail!
what do you think about a 4 year relationship and the man never calls on the phone, ever!?
Does he do all the talking in person or is it just a text then sex type relationship.
if it is the latter then get out unless you are happy being his sex partner and wasting another 4 years or more.
Speak to him first- see if he wants to make you feel special but didn't realise he was being a loser x
Does he text? Some people don't like to express themselves verbally, but they will write instead. I was seeing someone for 6 weeks and in that time frame I called him only three times. Of those three, none were answered nor acknowledged. At the end of the 6 weeks he said he felt I wasn't interested which brings me to my next point: some people like to chase, while others like to be chased.
The cat-mouse game has been part of the dating scene for centuries. Typically the man chases the woman but in today's day and age, men like to be chased just as much. There are so many desperate women out there who will chase even when the man doesn't display signs of interest. I would say if you are the one who does the calling, STOP. I did that once. I stopped calling and guess what? The person didn't call me and that was the end of that. Show the other person your worth and that you have some dignity.
I enjoyed this blog post and can appreciate the rawness and honesty in it. After reading the comments I find it interesting that society at-large assumes that women want a relationship while men typically want sex. I am one of those women who is not interested in a relationship. I had one (that ended in marriage, in fact). The marriage ended in divorce, as is the case with 50% of marriages these days. After a twelve year relationship (6 being married), it is time for me to focus on myself. That doesn't mean I am not interested in intimacy and sex, but I have no interest in committing to one person, making promises I can't keep and then trying to live up to someone else's expectations of who I should be. I have found the dating pool to be appalling. Online dating sites are cesspools full of people searching because they don't want to be alone. I found that when I "searched" I attracted the wrong people, so I stopped searching. Now I do the things that make me happy and enjoy my solitude which is typically sweeter than another person's company.
If I should meet someone doing the things I enjoy, then great. I already had the marriage, the nice house, white picket fence, the dog and I am also a parent so those things are officially off of my "bucket list." Sex is a very personal thing to be enjoyed and it can be had w/out the confines of a "relationship." Let's stop assuming all women are emotionally needy and want a relationship.
Thanks for your comments. I personally don't date people unless we have a minimum of common interests and attitudes to life. In fact going on Meetups for things like language groups, cookery, photography, philosophy, history etc is a great way of making friends from whom you might meet people who you are attracted to.

Thank you for this. I am a man, but have been through many of these relationships in my life: with me being the one used for sex. I am well-endowed, and a very skillfull lover – which has worked against me in many relationships. I am by nature loving, romantic, and monogamous. Maybe I am an anomaly, maybe not. But the worst thing in the world is for a woman to look into your eyes and say, again and again, "I love you," and "I love you too," and then for you to find out, down the line, after doing everything in your power to help that woman, support her emotionally, satisfy her, and love her completely, (believing foolishly that you have finally found a measure of "real" love and peace) – that you have been fooled by her into thinking that she loves you. Just as males find certain types of women disireable and will say anything or do anything to have sex with them, many women – if they are honest –
Pt 2. if they are honest – will tell you they will do the same, for the "right" man – and I don't mean "Mr. Right." I mean a man who's greatest pleasure is to completely satisfy the woman he loves. My last relationship ended New Years Eve 2009, and today, in 2014, I still feel empty, broken, and unwilling to try again. I am done. And my trust is exhausted and untrustworthy to me. I have always been very trusting – my downfall. Too much disappointment, too much pain. I have had married women lie to me, and should have known by their behavior and schedule that I was simply being "used on the side." But the damnably horrifying part of this, when I've found out, is that I was having sex with someone else's WIFE! Not by consent – I would NEVER do this to any man, because
Pt.3 I know what it feels like. So, these women end up hurting not only one man, but two (because I will always call the husband to apologize, and so that he will know). I think most men who have been hurt by falling into this horrible place are simply too embarrassed to admit it. I am speaking of good men, who were trying to find a true measure of love, and would NOT feel proud of tricsed like a piece of meat. Not all men are pigs. I believe it happens much more than we know. Every behavior and speech that you described applys exactly to a man being used in this way by a woman. Just needed to say this from a male side. Apologies for its length.
Women can use their emotions to excuse affairs in ways that men can not get away with.
Basically it's easier for women to blame the man on relationship problems of any kind since they can use the "I'm an emotional woman" get out of jail free card.
This is so dumb. Any sex is good sex think about raising your kundalini . During sex
I don't think so. Sex without respect and kindness is bad sex, IMO.
Recently single after a long relationship, I find myself in this situation. All the signs are there, but I still enjoy the attention and the small amount of time I do see him. He's much younger but embodies all the qualities of a man/partner I like. However, I am no fool and I know he is only interested in me for sex. I just can't seem to break free and find myself thinking about him constantly. Be hurt now and end it, or be hurt later when he ends it? I feel since I know it will eventually end, I should just enjoy the ride while I am on it.
Sue, I enjoyed the ride. It turned into three years and it left me broken, a shadow of myself. I am still working through the feelings of worthlessness. If I had my time again, I would have ended it as soon as I felt myself getting attached. Good luck. x
i've just got rid of one of these guys – I should have spotted the signs he was a DJ and his dJ name means – to w**k!
I've read this article through a couple of times. I have a different take. Whether someone is happily married; in an intimate loving relationship; dating / getting-to-know; or purely a FWB / booty call… if they're deliberate about having the sex they want and enjoy, and not having sex they don't want or enjoy, I'm sorry but I don't see how they can ever walk away feeling as though they were "used for sex".
What you're describing seems more like "using sex to get to love." To help clarify what I mean by that, here are some possible red flags that you might be using sex to get to love:
– You have sex that you didn't want or enjoy, more than once.
– You regret the sex you had, retroactively, in the wake of the relationship not turning out the way you'd hoped.
– You notice you have a steadily growing list of ways that your partner disappoints you, that weren't on your radar before the sex.
– You start developing expectations about how they should behave that aren't based on their past behavior or any discussions you've had.
– Where before you were getting to know them and found you liked them in the discovery process, now you're comparing them to how they should be.
– You've stopped paying attention to them as an individual, or to the organic way of relating that arises between the two of you as unique human beings.
– You projected your growing feelings for them onto them as feelings for you and failed to detect or notice that you felt differently about each other.
– Sex feels like your side of a contract or pact or deal, though it wasn't overtly discussed.
– You think of sex as something you give to them, rather than something you do for you.
– You increasingly rely on things like role-playing to try to juice your sex life where there just isn't much sexual chemistry between you right now.
– The relationship is genuinely evolving or changing—as relationships sometimes do—and your attention is more on how things should be than on discovering the new way of relating that is trying to arise between you, whatever that may be.
Ken – great insight. Do you write about this on your website? I'd like to learn more about your theory of using sex to get love. Thanks.
Hi Beth and thank you. I haven't written about it (except an article on using sex as a bargaining chip in relationships). But if you fill out the contact form on my website I can go into more detail and how it might apply in your relationships. http://kenblackman.com/#contact-ken
You are only used if you allow yourself to feel that way. I participate in "FWB" relations. I am a 45 year old woman and I've had 2 guys that I've been with (separately) for over a year. Neither knows the other, but both know of the other. We are open and honest, and it's discussed and agreed upon. One man is emotionally unavailable for commitment and the other sees others openly stating he's poly amorous. It's all good. Do I have feelings for either of these guys? Yes, I care about them. Am I in love with them? No. Do we have passionate, warm meaningful sex? Absofreakinloutely! There is excellent chemistry. I have friends that have told me that I'm not treating myself with respect because I have these casual relations. I'm looking for Mr. Right. He's been elusive. Anytime I think I've met someone that can be potentially good, I have the conversation with my friendly lovers. They know they get shuffled to the back burner or put on hold. It's a respect thing that they abide by those rules, and both have done that for me. If I need space they give it. If they need space, I back off. The one guy and I have blurred the boundaries of the FWB status a few times and needed to dial it down, because we are so passionate together that sometimes that passion feels like love. It's the combustion of our beings coming together that make it so good and so raw, but both of us know that we are not meant to be anything more than occasional lovers and occasional friends….nothing more. When it's finally over, will I feel sadness? Yes, because you don't find lovers like that everyday. It just makes me smile that I got to feel such passion at all. Had I not participated in the "FWB" thing…..I would've missed all the fun! As long as you're not deluding yourself and as long as you're honest with your partner, there is no reason to ever walk away feeling used. The key to any relationship, no matter how casual, is communication.
The Irony in this article for me is that the only girl that I have ever had as a girlfriend was an asian girl (Like the author of this article) believed in sex after marriage and I left her after 3 years because of that reason.
The reason I found this website is because I feel an intense urge to have a N.S.A. lover to strap me down and show me things that would make my head spin!! Laugh, watch a movie and send him on his way. But knowing he will come back and surprise me with something new …I've always wound up with the only three I've ever been with and my last was alot older however by far te best!!!!!
We seem to gravitate back together, however, he lives in a different city, the sex was so mind blowing, even spiritual in a way, but noncommittal!
In my book a fwb is my actual friend , while a booty call deals with someone who I do not even talk to.
Having affair with a friends boyfriend we have sex but oral sex for him every time then after we have sex we don't spend any time talking nothing I go my way he goes histhis ois going s choice I'm married his girlfriend him and me and my husband hang out from time to time but he and ibseemed attracted to each other quickly after becoming to know each other I'm just wondering with him leaving no time to talk or anything after giving oral sex or having sex am I being used is he using our time to talk when we are all hanging out no love has been claimed but am I being used to the fullest by him
This was thee most satisfying truth talking article I could have ever read. This was pure counseling for me as I read all about me…it felt like the author was talking just to me. I really needed this unadulterated information. I bet if I walked away from this guy whom I have relations with he would probably drift off. The sex is so fabulous, but I just can't see me with him for the rest of my life. There are way too many hangups from both of us. I feel like I'm wasting my beautiful body AND my awesome personality on someone who does not see me for anything other than sex…the other half is I only want him for sex. We sometimes admit it but, we don't want to take it any further. I have values that I compromise just to be with him and he does not care. My weakness, and lustful nature always succumb to what I know he can do for me…which is to feeling great. I want more than this from him but at the same time I don't want him in my life for anything more. I feel like I'm putting myself at a disadvantage to remain a prisoner of sex to him. I guess I just want sex, attention and lustful satisfaction. Yup. But thank you for this article. At this point, it's time for me to let him go.

State Sen. Steve Buehrer, a Republican candidate for the 5th District congressional seat, hosted a town hall meeting Thursday at Friendly Corners in Norwalk.
Buehrer invited the public and sent invitations to voters throughout Huron County to join him for a question and answer period about issues important to the country, district and the community.
Several dozen voters and interested citizens attended to hear more about Buehrer's message of conservative leadership on issues such as taxes and spending, illegal immigration and traditional family values.
"I enjoyed the opportunity to talk about issues and ideas facing our country and district last night in Norwalk," Buehrer said. "The voters in Norwalk are common-sense conservatives who believe in less government and less taxes. I am the only candidate in this race who voted against the biggest tax hike in Ohio history and will take that same leadership to Washington, D.C.
"We believe Huron County will play a major role in this election and look forward to spending more time in Norwalk and Huron County in the next few weeks as we seek the support of voters throughout the district."
Norwalk resident George Mays also is running to succeed the late U.S. Rep. Paul. E. Gillmor, who was found dead from injuries suffered in a fall in his suburban Washington residence Sept. 5.
The 5th District includes all of Huron County and counties west.
Mays, a Democrat, is one of of nine people running.
One of the leading Republican candidates is state Rep. Robert Latta, a former state senator and county commissioner whose father, Delbert Latta, represented the district for 30 years (1959 to 1989). The younger Latta ran in the 1988 election to succeed his father, but lost the primary to Gillmor by just 27 votes.
Joining Latta in the top tier of candidates for the Nov. 6 primary is Buehrer, a former state House member who hails from the western part of the 5th District.
The GOP field is rounded out by Mark Hollenbaugh, a high school teacher, along with Fred Pieper, Michael Reynolds and Michael Smitley.
The winner of the Republican primary will be heavily favored to win the Dec. 11 special general election, given the typical Republican leanings of 5th District voters. President Bush took 61 percent of the district's votes in the 2004 election, and Gillmor easily won in each of his 10 general elections.
The best-known candidate on the Democratic side is Robin Weirauch, a former assistant director of the Center for Regional Development at Bowling Green State University. She was the Democratic nominee against Gillmor in 2004 and 2006, taking 33 percent and 43 percent respectively.
Weirauch is joined in the Democratic primary by Earl Campbell, a retired professor, and Mays.
The winner of the general election will succeed Gillmor.

Ian Buruma has a typically excellent essay on Thailand in the most recent New York Review of Books. Reviewing Paul Handley's new book about Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Buruma manages to explain both the country's successes under a monarchy and the fundamental problem with a lack of democratic governance. He also gets in a good shot against those who applauded or igrnored the country's recent coup that overthrew the prime minister:
To describe royal charity as a form of populism would seem to be a paradox, for what could be more elitist than a monarchy? But it is not unusual for aristocrats and kings to claim to be on the side of the common man against the greedy rich. What we see in Thailand, then, is two competing forms of charismatic autocracy: a traditional type, seeking its legitimacy in religion, culture, history, bloodlines, and superior virtue, and a new kind, based on money, celebrity, and media savvy. This is not unique to Thailand ... But the drama in Thailand is especially acute, because unlike Britain, Thailand is still struggling with democratic institutions. Those who applaud too loudly, for understandable reasons, the victory of the old guard over the new should think of the damage done whenever people look to kings and generals to solve problems they should really take care of themselves.

ObamaCare Faces the Implementation Iceberg
November 26, 2012
Paul Howard
Defenders of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, can be forgiven for some post-election triumphalism. But their joy is likely to be short lived. Because the law put off implementation of most key provisions until after the 2012 election, voters cast their ballots on November 6 without knowing what Obamacares true effect will be on their tax bills, insurance costs, or access to care.
Delaying implementation until 2014 helped the president win re-election, but now the bill is coming due. The administration cant forestall Obamacares massive regulatory impact any longer, and the result will keep Congress and the media occupied for months and years to come.
The administration has just begun to issue guidance (proposed rules) to the insurance industry on Obamacares most important (and expensive) insurance market "reforms." Insurance plans must have clarity on these issues if they are to develop and price plans for the individual and small group markets both inside and outside of the exchanges.
Right now, insurance companies dont have answers to some of the most critical questions. Dozens of other smaller, but still important rules are also outstanding from HHS that will affect what kinds of plans are available on the exchanges, and how much they will cost insurers and taxpayers.
Some of the recently issued rules, particularly on community rating (charging the same price to everyone regardless of health status) and limiting the premium difference between older and younger applicants are likely to increase prices for young people and over half (55%) of the uninsured are under age 35.
If prices rise sharply for this group, theyre much less likely to buy coverage, since Obamacare lets them buy insurance for the same price even after they become sick. And if young people pass up coverage, the rates will rise for everyone else in the exchange and for taxpayers who are footing the final bill.
The administrations "damn the torpedoes" attitude toward implementation of Obamacare also ignores the significant amount of time it will take for stakeholders to comment on provisional regulations and for HHS to issue its final rules. Keep in mind that the law requires exchanges to begin enrolling people by next October.
To call this deadline ambitious given the enormous uncertainty facing the industry and state regulators is a massive understatement.
Many states are still evaluating their options. According to a recent report from Avalere Health, only 20 states are actively building insurance exchanges, with as many as 13 states of those states opting for some sort of partnership model with the federal government. The rest are simply going to allow the federal government to run their exchanges. Thats hardly a winning record for the exchanges, supposedly the crown jewel of Obamacare.
As for the federal exchanges that are supposed to be up and running in states that dont want to or arent ready to operate their own exchanges, the outlook is equally uncertain. As health care consultant Robert Laszewski recently put it, "[T]he Obama Administration has said emphatically that they will be ready [to run federal exchanges], but so far theyve produced no information about how they are going to do it."
The virtual veil of secrecy surrounding creation of the federal exchange has led to skepticism that it will be in any position to operate as advertised.
Beyond insurance rules and insurance exchanges, Obamacare faces other enormous uncertainties, like how many states will embrace its Medicaid expansion after the Supreme Court decision last summer allowed them to opt-out. Currently, six states (Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Texas) are saying theyll sit out the expansion. Large states such as New Jersey and Pennsylvania are on the fence.
Since Medicaid accounts for about half of Obamacares Medicaid expansion, and the exchanges are supposed to facilitate Medicaid enrollment, governors have leverage to push for changes to the program that will help them manage expenses.
So whats the bottom line? The Obama Administration is just beginning to issue critical guidance to states and insurance companies about how insurance markets and insurance exchanges are supposed to operate. The majority of states arent in any position to operate their own exchanges, and the federal government isnt prepared to step in and operate the exchanges for them—at least not according to the schedule laid out in the ACA. The Medicaid expansion is a giant question mark.
And, we havent even mentioned how looming tax and budget negotiations over the "fiscal cliff" and sequestration might affect implementation of Obamacare.
Heres our prediction. HHS has already pushed the deadline on the state exchanges from December 14, and in some cases to mid-February. We expect that deadline to slide again in the coming months.
But we shouldnt wait that long to address the underlying problem. Delaying exchange implementation has important federal budget implications, and may make it easier for Republicans and Democrats to agree on serious budget and entitlement reforms. If Republican governors can coalesce around demands for exchange flexibility and Medicaid reform, they can also give their colleagues in Congress more leverage to press for entitlement reforms.
Ironically, the president and his Democratic allies may have to grant more flexibility in operationalizing Obamacare than they ever did while ramming it through Congress in 2010. On the other hand, if Republicans want to maximize their own policy leverage and develop a credible health policy platform for 2016, they will have to figure out an "endgame" for health care reform that increases coverage and lowers costs.
The good news is that well finally get to find out "whats in" the Obamacare law. Wont that be fun?

Multi-city police chase ends in Delray Beach neighborhood
DELRAY BEACH, Fla.-- Residents living off of Whatley Road in Delray Beach woke up to find their streets filled with police cruisers Monday morning.
Several agencies responded to a police chase that began in Boca Raton.
Sandra Boonenberg, the public information officer for Boca Raton, said several officers were conducting "surveillance" on a known felon. The officers say the suspect had a handgun in his possession, which is illegal for a felon.
Police tried to conduct a traffic stop, but the suspect did not stop. Instead, he headed north in a truck through Delray Beach, into Boynton Beach then back to Delray Beach.
Police from several agencies and deputies with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office were all called in to help with the pursuit. They set up a perimeter and used the assistance of the PBSO helicopter.
The suspect, and three others inside the truck, ended up in a Delray Beach neighborhood. Witnesses say the streets were filled with cop cars. Police said two people tried to flee, but were caught.
"They told us to get inside, stay inside. The cops did a really good job. They had everything cordoned off real fast," said resident Byron Eggers.
Investigators have not yet identified the suspects or sorted out what charges they will face.

The July Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Nicole at Sweet
Tooth. She chose Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Cookies and
Milan Cookies from pastry chef Gale Gand of the Food Network.
In Nicoles words, "I'm a huge fan of Gale Gand, I have tried a lot of her recipes and they are such a huge success. For July's challenge though I wanted to try something different and I wanted to do Gand's version on my favorite store bought cookies which are the Peppridge Farm Milano Cookies and the Mallows (Chocolate covered Cookies). I've been wanting to try this recipes but just haven't have the chance to do so or to be honest haven't have the courage to tackle homemade marshmallow yet, until now." Mallows (Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Cookies) recipe courtesy Gale Gand, from Food Network. Cookie heaven, and that's just what this months challenge was all about. Pleasure packed into a fabulous cookie! Dessert bites, light as air, and ever so indulgent!! Do stop by at Nicole's blog @Sweet Tooth for the recipe.Procrastination never got the better of anyone, least of all me, as far as typing the post goes. Got the mallows ready in the 2nd week of July, & was quite prepared to try the Milanos. Fate had other plans for me; it always does! Schools had barely opened after a 2 month long summer vacation, & this Friday had been bookmarked for the Milano. Unfortunately, the school had to be shut down again for sanitization due to a number of H1N1 cases among students. Sigh, sorry Milanos… With the kids at home, nothing in my life moves. It's been an extended short break for them, & I wonder why I waited so long to get typing the post. With D-day tomorrow, here I am trying to type my thoughts as July sweeps by us. What happened to the month? Life has actually been reduced to a blur! Days merging into one another, and as always, so much to do, & so little time. Being on twitter doesn't help, so I've torn myself away from it for the past 2 days! FOCUS!!

HTC One mini vs HTC One: What's changed?
Mini phones are big business, as HTC follows Samsung in releasing a mass-market version of a flagship handset, in this case the HTC One mini. Near-identical to its bigger sibling, the HTC One, the new mini variant slims the original 4.7-inch screen down to 4.3-inches, for a phone that's easier to hold and cheaper in stores. They're not the only changes, however; read on as we run through what's new.

Cardiac Sarcoidosis and FDG-PET
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Sarcoidosis is a multi-systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown cause characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomas in involved organs. Its cardiac involvement may be potentially fatal. Although endomyocardial biopsy is required for definitive diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis, it is invasive and lacks sensitivity. The specific diagnostic tool for cardiac sarcoidosis is far from satisfactory. Recent studies have revealed that FDG-PET with under fasting conditions is a useful method for identification of cardiac sarcoidosis patients. However, to our knowledge, no investigations have been published with regard to FDG quantification for the diagnosis and management of cardiac sarcoidosis by PET.

Detailed Description:
Fasting FDG-PET will be performed in all subjects. Serum calcium, C-reactive protein (CRP), angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), lysozyme, and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels will be measured in all patients. All patients will undergo chest X-ray, resting 12-lead ECG, transthoracic echocardiography, and 3 types of radionucleotide imaging using Tc-99m sestamibi for myocardial perfusion, Ga and FDG for whole-body evaluation. All assessments will be conducted within 2 weeks and no sign indicated any change in disease activity of sarcoidosis. The patients with cardiac involvement will be treated with 30 mg/day of prednisolone orally for the first 4 weeks, then will decrease to a dose of 20 mg/day for the next 4 weeks, and will maintain to a dose of 10 mg/day afterwards.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|35 Years to 85 Years

to my Professional and Personal Web Pages where I hope you will find some valuable information about me. I have finally RETIRED, however, you can find some interesting things about what I have done for a living, about the courses I have taught and lots of other interesting info!
Courses you might have been enrolled in:
RD 050 (Introduction to College Reading I) 3 credits
RD 075 (Study Skills) 1 credit
ED 101 (Introduction to Careers in Teaching) 3 credits
PSY 170 (Psychology of Effective Learning) 4 credits
In the past, I have also taught, SOC 101, PSY 190, 200, 210 & 220. Additionally, I used to teach the HS (Human Services) practicum courses when SC4 had a HS Program. There is still one HS couse that is active, HS 100.
" title="Port Huron, Michigan weather">PORT HURON WEATHER?
Getting Started: (RD 050) 3 credits
Introduction to College Reading I
Students in RD 050 are required to take this questionnaire. Please click on this site: (Other students may take it as well.) Click the next line.
>Index of Learning Styles Questionnaire
from North Carolina State University
Your instructor is interested in assisting you in becoming successful...no matter what your major. In the past 26 years, I have had more than 6,000 students and can tell you many stories about success. Quite interestingly, I can also tell you about stories that did not necessarily have happy endings. Why didn't students succeed? READ ON to get some idea as to why.
The Bottom-Line on being successful is your desire to want this education, your recognition that the responsibility of learning is soley and squarely on YOUR shoulders, and you reaching for critical thinking and eventually >metacognition as you pursue your goals and dreams. All of what you hope for can be achieved, but it will take some honest and true work on your part. Make no mistake about it. WORK = you do the learning.
In my courses, all of them, you will hear and read about how you grow something called >dendrites as you learn. This makes learning a physiological event as compared to seeing it only as a psychological event. The difference is significant, because NOW, you are responsible for your dendrite growth...not your instructor...not your textbook and certainly not your parents.
As you read this, you are probably wondering what this means and whether or not you can achieve your goals. Do you want to be become a teacher? How about a nurse? How about an engineer? How about a child-care provider? Or maybe you want to be a welder. We have lots of programs, and lots of courses that will take you to various careers, professions and jobs. Maybe you are not even sure what you "want to be when you grow up!" Some students are taking on a 2nd or 3rd or possibly even a 4th career due to the economic conditions in Michigan and in our country.
Take heart, one of the most common majors at >St. Clair County Community College is "no preference" or "I don't know!" So it's okay not to know right at this minute. However, soon you will be taking classes (or already have) and those experiences will help with your trajectory toward your goals. Make at least your first goal to pass every class, to attend every class session, to study in the ratio of 1:2 and to prepare honestly and effectively for your exams.
In RD 050, the most significant course of your college career, you will learn about you, how you learn, why you learn, and what you have to learn to succeed as a college student. Obviously, since it is a >reading course, the primary emphasis is on improving your reading.
Reading is a thinking activity that takes place in your mind...not on your lips and not with your eyes. These are but the "vehicles" that allow you access to the information in printed symbol format. If this were not true, then a person who reads with >Braille would not be able to read. Think about it!
In RD 050, you will learn about how to improve your reading, no matter what your reading level is. You learn how to use that improved reading ability to access information for tests, for quizzes, and for knowledge.
You will love how easy and simple it is to learn new steps, new strategies, new ways of achieving. What's interesting is that these new ways, you already have learned, but probably are not using. Your mind will improve as you learn to utilize these skills. Students who take RD 050 learn that they can indeed achieve at a higher level ... that their grades can indeed go up ... that their dream of becoming a teacher, nurse, engineer, etc., is within grasp. This can work for you too!
RD 050 requires you to work. This has been mentioned already. You will be required to put in reading practice time, outside of class time, to the tune of about 2-2.5 hours per week. READ THAT LAST SENTENCE AGAIN! Practice is the only way to improve your reading. This will be on a special "on-line" Internet based program called SkillsTutor. Your professor will provide for you a USERNAME and a PASSWORD on the first day of class that you will use all semester. Write it down, don't lose it! (If you do, contact your professor!)
One of those new "tools" will be your eventual recognition and acknowledgement that you will have to study MORE in college than you ever did in high school. READ THIS CAREFULLY to see why:
When you were in high school, how many hours per week, at best, did you ever study? Zero? One? Two? Three? Four? Five hours per week?
Most students study less than 5 hours per week while they are in high school. Here's a news flash for you: If you do that in college, you will FAIL.
Plenty of "smart" students fail out of college because they are either unaware or unwilling to put in the effort and work necessary to learn the information. When you study, you learn information. You grow dendrites. We call this process simply, studying. In RD 050 (as well as in RD 075), you will learn how to do both. You learn about your effort that must be created along with the appropriate "tools" necessary to help you succeed.
What is that new tool specifically? The tool is called studying in the ratio of 1:2. This means that for every hour you are in class, you need to study two hours outside of class. This means that if you are taking just 12 credits (full-time), you will need to study 24 hours per week. READ THAT LAST SENTENCE AGAIN! 24 hours per week studying plus 12 hours in class = nearly a full-time job! Yes, that's right, your JOB in college is to master and know information, write papers, do projects, prepare for lessons, etc. This is not a passive situation, but rather an active one...whereby you become the active participant. This will be more clear as you start one of Professor Berry's classes!
RD 075 (Study Skills) 1 credit
In Study Skills, better known as RD 075, you will learn about learning that is personal for you, that will make sense, that will be easy to accomplish and you will only have to take 1 credit or 16 class hours of time to do it!
This course has been taught on our campus for decades and has a proven track record of helping all kinds of students, both brand new to college and veterans of college. Students who take this course at the BEGINNING of their college career benefit by being able to achieve a higher GPA, a sense of accomplishment and an understanding of how important college is compared to high school.
Students who have already taken one or more semesters, but find themselves looking for that extra ONE credit to round out being full-time, often comment about how they wished they had taken this course their freshman year! Nonetheless, they feel grateful for learning how to learn the "right" way and appreciate how they can apply the information directly to their classes and their future. Either way, students benefit! So will you!
RD 075 (STUDY SKILLS) is taught at several different times throughout the calendar year.
RD 075: (1 credit/1 contact hour course)
Always check the >WAVE for availability and times.
Hopefully RD 075 will continue to deliver a quality program and accurate information about how to succeed in college.
You may think you know everything there is to know about how to learn, but I promise you, you don't. You will be surprised and amazed at what you have NEVER BEEN TOLD about how to learn. Most students will find that after just one class day, their lives are changed and paradigms have truly shifted. To paraphrase from Winston Churchill "If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always gotten." You will figure out what this exactly means as it applies to your work as a college student. You don't want to miss out on this fantastic opportunity!
Check the WAVE for classroom locations and more information!

Residents line up all over Ventura County to vote early
As millions of people across the country prepared to vote Election Day, more than one-quarter of Ventura County potential ballots were being counted before polling places even opened at 7 a.m. Tuesday.
By Monday morning, the Ventura County Clerk-Recorder's office had received 111,000 of 211,000 mail-in ballots, Clerk-Recorder Mark Lunn said. That is 26 percent of the a record of 426,948 people eligible voting on or before Tuesday.
In comparison, the county voter turnout for the June 5 primary was 32.9 percent with 133,800 ballots cast.
The Elections Division, which has been processing mail-in ballots for seven business days must verify the voter's signature, open the envelop and scan each mail-in ballot received, Lunn said.
Mail-in ballots delivered to the Elections Division by Tuesday morning are expected to be counted by Tuesday night, when the county releases the first batch of election results. But Lunn said processing mail-in ballots that are dropped off at a polling place Tuesday or arrive by mail Tuesday afternoon could take up to 28 days.
The Elections Division has 28 days to certify total election results.
"Historically, I am not aware of any election that was decided on those votes that got tallied afterward," Lunn said.
With the help of two fairly new machines that speed up processing mail-in ballots, Lunn said the Elections Division is in "pretty good shape" and the increase in mail-in voters should not slow down Election Day results.
One machine, which was first used during the June primary, slits open the ballot envelopes, while the other verifies voter signatures on the envelopes and sorts the ballot by precinct.
Not only has the county elections office been busy handling mail-in ballots, but there also has been a steady stream of voters in the past two weeks who have stopped by the office to fill out ballots before Election Day.
"Some people just like the convenience of coming here rather than their own polling place, and we welcome them," Lunn said. The elections office opened as a polling place Oct. 8.
Monday brought an afternoon rush of early voters — people who typically vote at a polling place but decide to come to the Elections Division early for personal reasons, Lunn said.
Denise Ord, an emergency room nurse and mother, stood in a line of about 15 people to cast her ballot.
The Camarillo resident said she always takes her children with her to vote at a polling place on Election Day but that her Tuesday shift at Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center in Thousand Oaks would have been "cutting it too close" to the 8 p.m. deadline.
Ord said she expected to see more "last-minuters" in line to vote Monday.
"You expect when you come to a government building to wait in line for a little while," she said. "I understand they do their best to make it as easy as they can to get it done."

Dont forget to enter the Get Fit Feel Epic challenge with Weight Wars and Moneysupermarket.com ! Get Signed up Here!
You could win a FitBit Wireless Activity Sensor (worth £77!) to help you continue to get fit after the challenge, open WORLDWIDE!
I've wanted to write about this for a while but I'm strangely fascinated by what is in peoples gym bags. Don't judge me I'm nosey as hell! What I don't want it to come off as a goodness look at what I've got post, I've been very lucky, been given gifts, won prizes and saved my ass off to get some of the things listed in this post and I wanted to share with you in the hope that you'll share with me!
So I thought I would share mine, in hope that you might share yours! Tomorrow I'll be sharing what equipment I work with at home! I'm building quite the collection of things at the moment! This stuff is stuff that lives in my gym bag and I thought I would share with you my go to gadgets and gear and why!
So the first thing you can see, is my bag! Cuteness no? It's a paperchase weekend bag which is just about big enough for the gym without being too bulky. Plus I think it's cute.
Then there is the emergency stash of stuff that's just useful, Umbrella for tackling the British Summer, tissues for any tissue emergency, membership card, glasses wipes, hayfever treatment and a spare glasses box as I always forget mine!
Another essential bit of kit is a locker coin! I LOVE this locker coin as I never have change on me which can mean leaving my stuff unattended and insecure. Don't look at my banged up hands ! Recent stress has led to eczema break out, hopefully the sun will sort it out!
So the "just in case" essentials dealt with I'll move on to the other bits and bobs knocking around in there…one of most favourite things since my polar died a death I've fully embraced my lovely pretty Nike GPS watch.
So the watch works with the Polar heart rate monitor strap and the Nike + Shoe Pod, so you can use it with all three or just one of those options. My shoe pod lives in my shoes, I strap on my HRM for every work out so that I get an accurate idea of how it works. I need to write a review of the whole system really because it's completely ace. While I talk about shoes here are my current pavement pounders…Nike Lunarglides in the most lovely blue
Now when I'm using the watch as a heart rate monitor I'm generally using it to monitor my heart rate zone while I'm lifting weights. Now I'm further in to the NROLFW the workouts are taking around 45 minutes and it's great to see me keeping my heart rate up during those periods of time and the calories burnt usually match my cardio. My memory is no where near good enough to remember the routines for weight lifting so I made myself little cheat sheets with the routine on and I clipped them together with a carabina and my gloves slot on there nicely too.
Now we all know that music in the gym can push you that bit further, my workout tends to be quite varied with a fair bit of moving around the gym so I keep my tunes simple. Ipod suffle, and ear buds. If I'm planning on running a fair bit I'll wear the over the ears ear buds otherwise the good old fashioned ipod ones will do.
That little silver bullet? That would be my in water tunes! Yep. Seriously. I have so many gadgets I'm maybe a little embarrassed! A little. Maybe. I'm a savvy gadget shopper though. The Ipod shuffle? Refurbished by apple and bought on ebay from this store and although the delivery cost is high I have a perfect ipod so cheapy cheap. The swim MP3 was amazon but again not an over the top price and it saves me from an amazing amount of boredom going backwards and forwards. My in pool wizardry is pretty simple, although I probably need to add a nifty swim cap to the collection I haven't yet.
Yes, your eyes do not deceive you you do see another watch in those pictures. That there is my Swimovate Poolmate. It's new to the collection and is a great gadget if you are as forgetful as me! It counts laps, calories burned, how many strokes per lap, distance swum and tells you how long you've taken to do it.
Last but not least, whats in there for after the sweating has finished?
Deodorant (whatever is on offer), my fav body spray Dirty Works, and a little pink wet bag from Dirty Works too, and in the tin is Lush cosmetics solid shampoo (such a space saver!). That is all topped off with one of my fav inventions, a microfibre towel. Ok so it doesn't do much for modesty but it's so small and super absorbent, it's from Kelly Holmes at Tesco!
I think my gym bag completely reflects my fitness personality, I'm a gadget girl, I love data and I love to know what I've achieved in my workout definitively. I'm rubbish at judging it on sweat !
Show me your gym bag and your fitness personality! Comment and link below

15 April 2013
Last week the New York production of Matilda The Musical, produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company and The Dodgers, opened at the Shubert Theatre on Broadway. The show began previews on 4 March 2013 and has been described by Ben Brantley in the New York Times as 'the most satisfying and subversive musical ever to come out of Britain, where it was nurtured into life by the Royal Shakespeare Company... even more glorious than we were promised… truly revolutionary.'
Chris Jones from the Chicago Tribune describes the production as 'far and away the best new musical of the Broadway season'
The Washington Post's Peter Marks hails Matilda The Musical 'by some large and tickling measure the most splendiferous new musical of the year.'
The New York Post's Elisabeth Vincentelli says 'Once in a blue moon, a show comes out blazing and restores your faith in Broadway. A treat for ears and eyes, brain and heart, the glorious "Matilda" has it all.'
The Royal Shakespeare Company's world premiere production of Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical has captured the imagination of young and old alike and continues to play to packed houses at London's Cambridge Theatre. 250,000 tickets will go on sale on Monday 15 April for the London production which is now booking until May 2014.
Having swept the board at last year's Laurence Olivier Awards, winning a record-breaking seven awards, the show has now received its eleventh Olivier Award nomination, this time for the BBC Radio 2 Audience award. The winner will be announced on Sunday 28 April at the 2013 Laurence Olivier Awards Ceremony at the Royal Opera House. Since opening in London, Matilda The Musical has won every major 'Best Musical' award.
Matilda The Musical was commissioned by the RSC and played to sold-out audiences at the RSC's The Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon for twelve weeks from November 2010 to January 2011. It transferred to London's West End on Tuesday 25 October 2011.
The Creative Team
Matilda The Musical is written by playwright Dennis Kelly, with music and lyrics by the anarchic Australian comedian, musician and composer Tim Minchin, and direction by Matthew Warchus.
The production is designed by Rob Howell, with choreography by Peter Darling, orchestrations,
additional music and musical supervision by Christopher Nightingale, lighting by Hugh Vanstone, sound by Simon Baker and the special effects and illusions are by Paul Kieve.
The Cast
Currently sharing the title role are Elisa Blake, Cristina Fray, Chloe Hawthorn, Lucy-Mae Beacock and Lara Wollington.
The current adult cast includes: Marc Antolin, Verity Bentham, Charles Brunton, Billy Cullum, Lara Denning, Haley Flaherty, Steve Furst, Mark Goldthorp, Madeleine Hardland, Maria Lawson, Joshua Lay, David Leonard, Melanie La Barrie, Annette McLaughlin, Nick Searle and Tommy Sherlock. Further adult casting includes: Fabian Aloise, Joseph Davenport, Jack Greaves, Katy Monk, Rachel Moran, Leanne Pinder and Helen Siveter.
The three teams of young performers who currently play the roles of Bruce, Lavender, Amanda, Nigel, Eric and the other pupils at Crunchem Hall are as follows:
Ella Bartman, Cally Callaghan, Amy Charlton, Harry Collett, Rhianna Dorris, Oliver Finnegan, James Gardner, Freddie Haggerty, Madeleine Haynes, Holly Hazelton, Michael Higgins, Nathan Howland, Noga Inspector, Uwan Lam, George Littell, Alfie Manser, Marcus May, Tahj Miles, Syakira Moeladi, Sophie Naglik, Emily Robins, Joshua Tikare, Ella Tweed and Red Walker and Ella Yard.
At the 2012 Laurence Olivier Awards, Best New Musical was awarded to the production and Bertie Carvel picked up the award for Best Actor in a Musical as Miss Trunchbull. Matthew Warchus collected the award for Best Director and the Best Theatre Choreographer was won by Peter Darling. Rob Howell received the award for Best Set Design, and Best Sound Design was awarded to Simon Baker. This is a new record number of wins by a single show, beating the previous best of Nicholas Nickleby, also a Royal Shakespeare Company production, which won in six categories in 1980.
In February 2012 Matilda The Musical picked up four awards at this year's Whatsonstage.com awards including Best New Musical, Rob Howell for Best Set Designer, Peter Darling for Best Choreographer and Tim Minchin for the London Newcomer of the Year. On 1 May 2012, Matilda The Musical collected the theatre prize at this year's South Bank Sky Arts Show Awards.
In 2011 Matilda The Musical won both The Peter Hepple Award for Best Musical at The Critics' Circle Awards and The Ned Sherrin Award for Best Musical at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards. The production has also collected the awards for Best Musical Production and Best Performance in a Musical (Bertie Carvel) at the Theatre Awards UK 2011.

Finally pumped for new boots
By The Vermonster
from Snoqualmie, WA
About Me Advanced
Best Uses
Comments about 32 Lashed Marie-France Roy Snowboard Boots - Women's 2012:
It was really hard for me to let go of my old 32's and start the process of breaking in new boots - but this was the best purchase of my 2012-2013 season. They didn't take long to break in, are perfect for my wider feet and have just the right flex. I even managed to keep them dry smashing through the parking lot and cruising around the back country in spring-like conditions. They are definitely a bang for your (not so big) buck. Anyone that needs a good all around boot with a little wider foot, 32 is where it's at!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Brush fire takes down power line near Oxnard train tracks
A small brush fire Tuesday night in Oxnard caused a power line to collapse, delaying an Amtrak train for an hour, officials said.
The incident was reported about 8:30 p.m. along Oxnard Boulevard just north of Colonia Road, said Oxnard fire Battalion Chief Rod Thorp.
Firefighters found a homeless encampment burning, a significant amount of smoke and a power pole leaning on the railroad tracks and ready to collapse, Thorp said.
The tracks were shut down for several hours before Southern California Edison officials could secure the pole. An Amtrak train heading to Ventura was delayed for about an hour, and traffic resumed just before 11 p.m., Thorp said.
No one was injured, and the fire was knocked down quickly, officials said.
