Rifle Paper Co.'s roots are in stationery but as we continue to grow we look forward to developing more and more products under the Rifle Paper Co. aesthetic such as wallpaper, apparel, and home products. We recently partnered with French author and illustrator Garance Doré to creative direct and produce her first stationery collection and Rifle Paper Co.'s first brand collaboration.
We strongly believe life's personal stories and moments are best told through the gift of a handwritten card or note, and hope that our goods inspire you to share these moments with others. Please let us know if there's anything we can assist you with or ways that we can improve your shopping experience.

text: Obama Can't Win 'Em All Some conservatives can't get into the spirit of unity for the inauguration By Wesley Oliver, Newser Staff Posted Jan 18, 2009 1:12 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (12) (Newser) – Washington will be swimming in champagne for the inauguration Tuesday, but some conservatives are warning merrymakers to stop drinking the Obama Kool-Aid, Politico reports. "While we're sitting around the campfire and trying to sing Kumbaya, our country is slipping away from us," said one. Another predicted, "The first time Obama uses the bathroom, Newsweek will do a five-page spread." Referencing the nation's problems, Tom DeLay said that if Obama were "serious" about changing Washington, he would forgo the lavish festivities and say, "I'm going to have a nice little chicken dinner, and we'll save the $125 million." One conservative shared some advice for politicos: "You can take a sip of Kool-Aid. But on Jan. 21, let's get back to business."

Genetic counseling is the communication process of providing information and support to those with questions or concerns about genetic conditions. Genetic counselors are health care professionals with specialized graduate degrees in the area of medical genetics. They are board certified by the American Board of Genetic Counseling.
The Center for Perinatal Care at Meriter offers prenatal genetic counseling as part of its comprehensive care. Prenatal genetic counselors work as part of the perinatal heath care team providing information and support to those who are pregnant or are considering pregnancy.
Meriter's genetic counselors meet with women to discuss screening and genetic testing options, review information about genetic conditions, possible birth defects and potential risks to the pregnancy, review available options for further health care in a manner that respects the personal and cultural beliefs of the patient or family, provide coordination of follow-up care to those patients where a problem has been identified in the pregnancy, identify resources and serve as patient advocates for women and their families.
What does genetic counseling involve?
Genetic counselors collect, review and discuss relevant family, pregnancy and medical histories. The goal of genetic counseling is to asses a patient's questions and concerns through discussion and then provide information in a manner that is tailored to and supportive of the patient's individual needs and background.
Who might consider genetic counseling?
Individuals and families may meet with a genetic counselor to discuss or review information because of concerns about family history, pregnancy exposures such as medications or infections, abnormal screening tests or ultrasounds, or women that will be 35 years of age or older at the time of delivery.
How Do I Contact a Genetic Counselor?
If you additional questions or are interested in learning more about genetic counseling, please contact The Perinatal Care Center at 608-417-6261.

Despite a severe drop in military construction spending over the past two years, Guam's economy is stable, thanks to a surge in visitors to the island. And even though the local government is struggling financially, it still can do more to boost the local economy.
Those were two of the highlights from the Guam Chamber of Commerce's 2012 Small Business Management Seminar, held Friday.
Joseph Bradley, an economist with the Bank of Guam said the island is expected to see about 1.3 million tourists this year, which would be the most in 15 years. The visitor industry has long been the engine that drives the local economy, and its resurgence is a welcome sight. More tourists coming to Guam translates into more money being spent at hotels, on tours and at other businesses. It also will help create more jobs in the visitor industry, as additional workers are needed to deal with the upswing in tourists.
And while the government of Guam is looking at ways to reduce costs and live within limited revenues, it can be proactive in spending money and creating jobs, according to David John, president of ASC Trust Corp, who also spoke at the seminar.
John says the local government can do this by spending more of the $558 million of bond money currently sitting in bank accounts instead of being used on the projects for which the money was borrowed. He cited $85 million in tourism infrastructure bonds, of which $65 million has yet to be spent, and bond money for Guam Waterworks Authority projects.
This bond money was borrowed for specific, needed projects. Pushing forward with those projects will mean work for construction companies and other businesses -- which will provide a small boost for our economy.
We urge elected officials to take this advice and, for the good of the Guam economy and community, start spending bond money that right now is just sitting unused.

text: Romney Wins Washington State Caucuses Ron Paul, Rick Santorum each lose by 13 points By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted Mar 3, 2012 7:20 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (12) (Newser) – Mitt Romney rolled to a double-digit victory in Washington state's Republican presidential caucuses tonight, his fourth triumph in a row and a fresh show of strength in the run-up to 10 campaign contests being held all across America on Tuesday. The 10 primaries and caucuses coming up on so-called Super Tuesday should shape the Republican race to find a challenger to President Barack Obama. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Texas Rep. Ron Paul battled for second place in Washington state, while Newt Gingrich ran a distant fourth. Returns from caucuses in 60% of Washington state's precincts showed Romney with 37% of the vote, while Paul and Santorum each had 24%. Gingrich was drawing 11%. Romney's win was worth at least 12 of the 40 delegates at stake. Paul and Santorum each won at least three. The rest remained unallocated, pending final returns.

Playing the game
You are an Interpol agent on vacation when the infamous Dr. Chaos makes a jailbreak with the help of three associates. In hopes of finding the four villians quickly, Interpol will be sending you around the globe to various locations they suspect the culprits to be. It is your job to find a list of items in each location in order to apprehend the four vilians.
Use the left stick, or D pad for slow movement, to move the cursor around to point to and select the items you're looking for in the picture. You have the ability to zoom in on a small, circled area around the cursor using the left trigger. This zoomed area can be toggled on and off and moves with the cursor. Once an item has been located with the cursor dot, pull the right trigger or push the A button to pick it.
What the game gets right
The user interface for this game is pretty slick and the art is good but was defintely designed for a larger display.
The game play seems pretty balanced making the game a real challenge, especially in the later levels when you sometimes need to forego the bonus items to find everything in time. The time limit combined with time being reduced for clicking on the wrong objects too much helps keep some small amount of tension.
What the game gets wrong
The biggest detriment to this game, and probably only real one, is the storyline. In short, the storyline does not match up with the puzzles. I can ignore some level of cliché and a simple premise to tie the puzzles together but, I'm not sure what cats, umbrellas, or multiple instances of the number 4 (among other random things in the list) have to do with locating international villans. What methods are these "analysts" using on these random objects to determine the next location of the suspects? I'd like to think their divinings make use of chicken bones and tea leaves.
I would imagine that the biggest difficulty, next to a storyline, with hidden object games is the apect ratios and resolutions of various displays and designing for as many as possible. The art for the game was really good or, at least, I would imagine that it would be if I had a much larger display with better resolution. While there is a way to resize the interface to fit your particular arrangement, the art here didn't translate well to a standard tv (read19″ cheapo) resolution or aspect ratio. The loss of clarity and smaller picture made it frustrating at times and playing for more than an hour really put the strain on the eyes (or maybe I'm just old).
Sum it up
It took a little while to get into the game as I didn't like it at first. Once my brain accepted what was going on I was able to enjoy myself. I'm guessing that I'm not the target audience for this game and would like to know what the younger crowd and people with better displays thought of this. Go grab the demo off of XBLA and let me know.

Gam Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition and comic book release of Sean Karemaker's 'Astronaut Journal: What Will you Stop to Smell When All of the Roses Are Gone?' March 30 – April 30, 2012
Opening Reception: March 30th, 8 pm to 12 am
"Since the time that I was a young child, comic books stood out to me as being more than just cheap entertainment. In the absence of religion the larger than life characters gave me a mythology to look to. I lived in a small town and comics showed A world that I couldn't imagine. I had no access to information about art history so that comic artists became my main inspiration for my early drawings, paintings and sculpture work. I began to write and draw my own stories. Later in life I began to view comics as being something that was unlikely to make me any money so I stopped making them. I continued to build sculptures and to paint and draw. I found work doing graphic design, 3D design for video games and illustration. For a number of years this pacified me creatively. Several years ago I began to draw comics again. It was slow at first but it quickly became an obsession. I began to work on a series of single panel comics about my experience observing people in Vancouver. I called the comics Astronaut Journal because I felt like an outsider, someone from far away. As I wrote more I began to write stories about my own life. The process was cathartic and it gave me a chance to explore my own thoughts and history. I began to experiment with new composition and art styles and I attempted to develop a writing style. 'Astronaut Journal: What Will You Stop to Smell When All of the Roses Are Gone?' is the second book that I have written, drawn and self published within the last few years. The process of making this book has been intense and rewarding."

|Significance of fetal intracardiac echogenic foci in relation to trisomy 21: a prospective sonographic study of high-risk pregnant women.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9530064 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to determine if an association exists between intracardiac echogenic foci in the second-trimester fetus and trisomy 21. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Over a 2-year period, targeted fetal sonography was performed for various indications in 1593 second-trimester high-risk pregnant women. Presence or absence of echogenic foci was recorded for each fetus. Amniocentesis for karyotype analysis was performed in 901 subjects immediately after sonography. The findings of these 901 subjects formed the basis of this report. RESULTS: Intracardiac echogenic foci were present in the left ventricle of 24 (3%) of the 901 fetuses. Three (13%) of these 24 fetuses had trisomy 21; no chromosomal abnormalities were found in the other 21 fetuses. Karyotype analysis revealed trisomy 21 in 14 (2%) of the remaining 877 fetuses who did not exhibit intracardiac echogenic foci. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values, and negative predictive values for intracardiac echogenic foci in predicting trisomy 21 were 18%, 98%, 13%, and 98%, respectively. The association of intracardiac echogenic foci and trisomy 21 was significant (p < .009) by the two-tailed Fisher's exact test. CONCLUSION: In a high-risk obstetric population, the association between fetal intracardiac echogenic foci and trisomy 21 was statistically significant. Therefore, women carrying fetuses with intracardiac echogenic foci should be informed of the statistical association with trisomy 21.

Since returning, I've been thinking about things that I could have, or should have, done while in Hawaii.
I'm remembering all the exotic names, places, street signs and those places that I have enjoyed and been fortunate enough to return to see again.
And one of the things that is a guilty pleasure of mine, is watching other TV hosts who are also making the same trip that we did. I enjoy reading their blog entries, remembering the places, and thinking about what they choose to share, and what I shared.
But two things jump out at me.
First, I'm at least somewhat familiar with the names of the islands and major towns in the state of Hawaii. Not everyone is.
The temptation is to try to correct them, or their blog entries, when they make an obvious error in naming an island, or something similar. But I have to remember that prior to my first trip, I didn't realize what a kingdom apart that island chain really is.
Think about it. The Hawaiian alphabet is only 12 letters long. That means EVERY word in their language is composed of the same few letters in recombination...and as a result, most sound unusually similar. Those letters include A, E, I, O, U ... H, K, L, M, N, P, W and an accent mark. (I'm doing this from Memory, so if I got one wrong, don't hold it against me...)
So, it's not easy to spell all their names. The alphabet was developed by early white missionaries, when they realized Hawaiian history was an oral tradition...with NO written language. Pictographs, yes. Writing, no.
Second, the trips all vary, at least a bit, in the places and restaurants where we stayed. So, it's not fair for me think that I know all of what's going on in their days and trips. But I can relive vicariously the thrills and high points of the journey.
Plus, there will always be people who know more about the islands than I do, and they probably can spot the errors in MY blog entries and report that I shared with the readers.
And last, as the trip continues, the blog entries just seem to get shorter and shorter....not that we're doing any less, or seeing less... but we're trying to do MORE and it's hard to say everything that you feel you should... so you compromise. You tell the high points, and then get out there to try to squeeze every last minute for all the pleasure of being in Hawaii that you can.
Who can blame anyone for wanting to do that?
A lot of people have said that they wish they could go, or that they wish they could return, or wanted to go...
So start saving your dimes, cause there are very similar trips leaving EVERY DAY... and the chances of our making another return trip (while not promised to ANYONE, even me...) are good in the next few years. Hawaii has proved a VERY popular destination, and despite the ten hour flight there (and back) it lives in my memory as a high point, and someplace that I would love to show off to others who want to come along.
Stay tuned.

It's been all of a week or so since the latest mainstream media lie regarding Olbermann's ratings. Enter Editor and Publisher which was more than happy to copy and paste a press release from a far-left group who is presenting Olbermann with an award today.
NEW YORK MSNBC's Keith Olbermann will receive the first Molly Ivins Award from the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies later today, according to AAN officials. "I'm utterly honored," Olbermann said in a statement, "largely because I'd still like to be Molly Ivins when I grow up."
But it's good to see that Olbermann is at least admitting he's immature and hasn't quite grown up yet even though he's pushing 50.
The organization, which represents 125 alternative publications, created the award to "honor those who practice the same bold, fearless journalism for which Ivins was renowned during her years as co-editor of AAN member The Texas Observer and as a syndicated columnist." Describing her own style of writing, Molly Ivins once wrote, 'Satire is traditionally the weapon of the powerless against the powerful.' That's the sort of journalism we recognize today, that which holds those in power accountable in the court of public opinion," said AAN President and Memphis Flyer Publisher Kenneth Neill. "Keith Olbermann speaks truth to power with wit and style, just as Molly did."
Apparently this radical leftist group hasn't really examined transcripts of Olbermann's program. Regular Olbermannwatch readers of course, known that his broadcasts are filled with errors, omissions, and flat-out lies.
Olbermann will receive the honor during a lunchtime event at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York, where the annual Newspaper Association of America convention is being held this week.
I'm sure Olbermann will fill right at home in a hotel setting. Hmm. Wonder if he's meeting any fans for a nooner?
Olbermann, a former ESPN broadcaster, hosts the nightly "Countdown with Keith Olbermann," which has gained ratings strength in the past two years. Ivins, the longtime columnist, died Jan. 31 at the age of 62 after a long battle with cancer. AAN officials stated in a release that Olbermann's show "is notable for its literate writing, fast-paced delivery, historical and pop-culture references and the host's signature wit, all of which make 'Countdown' one of the most vital and colorful newscasts on the air."
Don't exactly see them praising him for his accuracy or integrity as a journalist though do you? And while it's true that Olbermann's ratings have increased, he's still stuck firmly in second place both in overall ratings and of course, the all important "key demo". Another ratings lie floated by a publication you'd think would know better than to photocopy a press release but when the ratings of Keith Olbermann are concerned, as we well know, the Mainstream Media can't be bothered to fact-check.
I'm trying to get in touch with someone from OlbyWatch for a story I'm writing. Please email me ASAP @ karina AT newnetscape DOT com. Thanks!
I have to admit, I love(d) Molly Ivins, I was sad when she died. Congrats Keith.
"Newscast", "newspaper", "journalism", "newsweeklies"... what does this have to do with Keith Olbermahn?
A few weeks ago I spoke on a panel hosted by the Medill Journalism School on the future of alternative newsweeklies. One of my fellow panelists was the guy who runs this association so I have a sense of what their objectives are with this award. This is all about promoting their organization and this new award (which is, in turn, designed to promote their organization). They figure they can get the most PR mileage in the lefty blogs and elsewhere by connecting this award to Keith. Nothing wrong with that - pretty smart actually. Of course, it is odd to give an award from print publications, named for a print journalist to a "news" anchor but what the heck.
What next? An award from Granma?
I was a Molly Ivins fan, and you, Mr. Olbermann, are no Molly Ivins. Plus, would someone please call a moratorium to the lame phrase "speaking truth to power." You would think someone who is a newspaper publisher could think up something more original instead of falling back on trite language.
And Bob, I buy your public relations theory. Who knows, maybe his publicist had a hand in this award. That person has been awfully busy lately.
Did he bring a bottle of merlot and two glasses?
Take a look at this! Proof once and for all that Stelter is a shill for Olbermann.
TVNewser caught fudging numbers for Olbermann again:
TVNewser fudges the ratings every day. He uses the "live plus" data which records the number of live viewrers plus the number of DVR recordings made of a particular show. The research is clear that with many sporting events and news shows that a high percentage of viewers never go back and actually watch the programs and it's a known fact that advertisers don't use them to place advertising buys as they consider the data unreliable. But that doesnt' stop Olbermann and the PR department at MSNBC and little Brian from using them to pimp up Olbermann's ratings, which by the way, weren't good last week (real ratings can be found at Inside Cable News). I expect another "Special Komment" any day now.
More for the Bush/Republican resume :
The massive federally funded program for rebuilding Louisiana homes is short nearly $3 billion, administrators told a state legislative panel here today, leaving uncertain for now how the owners of roughly 100,000 flood-wrecked houses here will be compensated.
The report represented the latest crisis for the aid effort initially created to distribute $6.9 billion in federal money to the owners of homes destroyed or damaged by Hurricane Katrina who lacked enough insurance money to rebuild.
More than 20 months after the Katrina catastrophe, tens of thousands of houses remain vacant, in part because of administrative delays in the aid program, the largest single source of direct federal help for homeowners. To date, only 16,000 of 130,000 applicants have received money.
Who cares about New Orleans?
The Bush Administration is too busy screwing up Baghdad !

austrian photographer andreas franke took a diving expedition down into hulk of the artificial reef general hoyt s. vandenberg
located 100 feet below sealevel, approximately seven miles south of key west. having documented the trip and the shipwreck site,
franke digitally manipulated the images he captured to depict surreal everyday scenes from the past, taking place in the underwater locale.
the series of 12 photographs entitled 'life below the surface' can be viewed installed at the location of the sunken ship of
which the images take place.
to withstand the more than wet conditions, each piece print is encased between sheets of plexiglas encased by a stainless steel frame
whereby a silicon seal helps deter water from entering. the artworks are attached to the ship by strong magnets which offer a
damage free removal at the end of the exhibition.

Big Engagement Ring Yellow Diamond, Nice Big Engagement Ring Yellow Diamond Pics
Big Engagement Ring Yellow Diamond, Top Rated Big Engagement Ring Yellow Diamond Photos
The diamond can also be painted to neutralize the big engagement ring yellow diamond, the yellow. This metal's cheaper price is a perfect match for the budget-conscious. Cons Platinum is the most expensive of the precious metals. If you're buying a one or more carat diamond in your engagement ring it should be examined unset.
Then white gold and platinum came along, and with palladium recently added to the mix, today's bride has far more options. You still end up with a beautiful, classy ring that will last a lifetime, but for a fraction of the price of some of the other options. What else is there to say?
Famous stars that have bought Asscher diamond rings include Ryan Phillipe and Reese Witherspoon, who bought an Asscher cut ring for 520,000 dollars back in 1998. If it's an engagement ring you are looking for, you would be much better off buying a clear diamond, symbolizing your feelings for her. As for everything in life it is always better to have a budget and planning for the purchase of this Diamond Engagement Ring.

Enteral NutritionLearn More
What is Enteral Nutrition?
Enteral nutrition is a highly sophisticated process wherein patients with severe conditions are fed through an external tube. Depending upon the condition of the patient, enteral nutrition can be provided through tubes embedded into the nose, the stomach and the small intestine. These tubes are responsible for providing the body with all necessary proteins, fats, carbs, vitamins, minerals, and water. As such, enteral feeding is considered as a treatment for malnourished patients or those with inadequate oral functions. In most cases, enteral feeding is a life-saving maneuver and thus requires highly complicated devices for the procedure.
Feeding Systems and Equipment
At ActiveForever, there is a wide range of enteral accessories that have been designed to international standards, of length, material, and quality. Whether you are looking for products that can support short term feeding, long term administration, or requires jejunostomy / PEG placement, with feeding rate more than 30 mls/hr, here are the best products. For gastronomy procedures, the Feeding Tube Management System from Tube Pak is a highly recommended option. Apart from being highly specific, it comes with complete protection and can be adequately secured around the stomach of the patient. However, for patients requiring nasogastric tubes, products like Corflo Controller are designed to accept both luer and oral syringes and the braided design reduces stylet removal friction.
Nutritional Products
While most enteral procedures are administered in the hospitals, many patients are even allowed to undergo treatment in their homes. In this case, it is highly important for family members to know the procedures and what types of nutritional supplements can be used. A common nutritional supplement is the Nestle Peptamen 1.5 Ultrapak. This, with other products like the Nestle Impact Peptide 1.5, as advised by the doctor, can be a highly sought after item. At ActiveForever, you get the best products that are used by patients all over the world.

I read the Nov. 19 Reader Reaction Forum asking "How do you feel about the upcoming holidays?" Here is how I feel after reading the submissions. There were some interesting and unusual observations made.
However, I cannot believe that out of eight writers, only one person felt the need to mention, however casually, the real and true meaning of Christmas. The reference was so subtle, I almost missed it.
I find it extremely disconcerting to see the name of the Christ child omitted in a column about Christmas. I fully realize Christmas isn't the only upcoming holiday, but how can eight people, when asked to share their feelings, not even think to mention the birth of Jesus Christ, the savior of the world, the baby in Bethlehem's manger, who came to earth for one reason, to die on the cross for the sins of you and me, so we can meet him in heaven one day?
This is truly what Christmas is all about, and this should be the reason for the celebration, as well as the reason for the warm feelings in our hearts. Think about it when you say: "Merry Christmas."

Help! I'm Getting Laid Too Much!
By Lance on Oct 21, 2008 in Relationships
Dear Lance,
I'm 34 and a working professional. I have a great career, a nice house, a Lexus, and everything that I want at this point in my life. I also have a great girlfriend. We've been seeing each other for almost a year and she's absolutely great. Smart, sexy, terrific sense of humor, active, and we share the same values, religious and otherwise. I think the world of her and we've even talked about marriage as a possibility in the not-too-distant future. She's slightly younger than me, age 28.
The problem is this. I'm getting laid way too much. My girlfriend wants sex constantly, like every single time we hang out, which is like 4-5 times per week. And it's not just the frequency that's a problem, it's the length of the individual sessions…sometimes she'll want to go for hours, with her getting off 6-7 times, and then another 2-3 times in the morning. As you can imagine, this is exhausting work, and I don't get to sleep much when we spend the night together.
My career is super important to me and I work long hours to make it happen. I probably work 55-60 hours in a week and I'm passionate about my job. I love my girlfriend, but her sex drive is insane and it's having a real affect on my work performance. I've tried paring down our meetups to just 2-3 times per week, but this really hurts her feelings, and it actually exacerbates the problem because when we do finally see each other she jumps me for double triple the amount of time. I can barely keep up!
The sex thing is getting to me, because she's so hellbent on getting into my pants that we don't talk as much, we don't cuddle, and don't just hang out. I see it as a respect issue. I don't think she's respecting my time as a man and a working professional.
Honestly, I think part of the issue is that she works at a gym as a physical trainer, so she works less hours and she's pretty fit. I'm not lardass, but I'm not an Olympian either. I'm seriously thinking about breaking up with her so she can find a guy who has the time to to have sex with her and I can do my thing. Is that the right thing to do? Also, is my girlfriend a sex addict?
Guy With Normal Sex Drive, New Hampshire
First off, GWNSD, you are a lardass, you need to hit the gym, you need to manage your time better, and your problem of getting laid too much makes me super pissy. If you worked out regularly, you'd actually have more energy and last longer in the sack. With that being said, having a mismatched sexual drive is a legitimate issue and one that breaks up plenty of couples.
Let's start with the work thing. You're a working stiff and you're putting in 50-60 hours per week, which is getting to be standard for guys and gals climbing the corporate ladder. I feel that. Once upon a time, I was that guy, too. It's no secret that overworking and lack of sleep is a sex drive killer. If you can't cut down on work hours, you'll have to make some decisions, which I'll get to below.
I'm going to assume that you've already tried to talk to your girlfriend about the sex problem and about time management in your relationship. Obviously, that's the first step, and you're a dope if you haven't talked to her before emailing me. EVERY couple has time management conflicts. It's pretty much at the top of the List of Things You Will Compromise On At Some Point.
The talk won't do much, though, except keep everything aboveboard. You can't logic or reason your girlfriend into reducing her sex drive, and she can't appeal to you to screw her more often.
Here's what I think. I have a lot of choice with the women I date, so the player in me says dump the high-sex drive girl and get yourself a gf who matches you. (Dismissing her frees her up to find a young, lusty stallion, so she wins too.) Simple. But, I know how challenging it is to find highly attractive women with high-sex drives. So part of me says that you need to man up and make your girlfriend happy. Oops…didn't you say she might be your future wife? Those are pretty big stakes. I'll take your word for it that she's attractive, intelligent, and generally super duper, so what's the reason for ditching her? Because she wants too much sex? Stop acting like a starchy collared, Lexus-driving pussy and count your blessings.
The businessman in me has a conflict with this, though. I believe in blind ambition, filthy lucre, and success-at-all-costs, and I believe that life game is WAY MORE important than getting laid. To put it another way, I can always get chicks, so I choose the almighty dollar first. Love is replaceable. I have good game, though, and I'm betting you don't…
If you dump her and get back into the dating pool, can you handle long stretches without love and sex? If that doesn't scare you, go for it and do the sexless 60-hour-work week and get your dollars up. Fair warning, you may get to a point in your life (and you will) when you wish you had the high-sex-drive girlfriend back and she'll be long gone. Get ready for some hard times.
Also, your girlfriend isn't a sex addict. She just likes to have sex with her beloved. I can't even say that her sex drive is unusual for her age, because it's not. I've met plenty of girls with her libido.
Here are a couple of solutions and ideas:
1. Tell your soul sucking boss that you're going to telecommute from home one day per week because that's fair, just, and will contribute to your health. On that day, practice excellent time management, get all your shit done early, hit the gym. Bang your girlfriend in the morning and in the evening. I promise you, it'll be the best day of the week. Also, stop going to the office on Saturdays, dumbass, and try taking a vacation.
2. Get your GF some good sex toys and tell her to go to town on the days you're too pooped to play. She can even diddle herself in front of you, if that turns her on.
3. If you've got the stones, stick with your girl and let her date another guy while you're going out with her. I'm talking about polyamory here. It works. With this solution, you're getting laid the 2-3 times per week that you want, she's getting laid the 6+ times she needs, and some other dude is getting laid with your hottie gf. It's win-win-win. Be sure to do extensive research on open relationships before embarking on this.
4. Get married. It's no secret that marriage is a major sex drive killer. You'll be down to a once-a-week bang session before you know it and your career will positively take off.
One last thing to think about. If you're still single and still working for the man at age 45, the women you date will have even higher sex drives than your 28-year-old hottie. This will come up again, so be prepared to deal with it.
Any other suggestions for GWNSD? Leave in comments.
If this post made you want to break up with your girlfriend because you're getting laid too much, you might also enjoy:

Is the Miracle Belt better than a weighted lap pad?
Definitely! There are a number of reasons why the Miracle Belt™ is more effective than a weighted lap pad. During development of the Miracle Belt™ many therapists shared the problems they encountered while using the weighted vest and weighted lap pad. One occupational therapist told us about how one of her ADHD clients began throwing the weight from the vest because he didn't like the way the weighted vest felt. Due to these types of experiences with the weighted vest our consulting therapists recommended we design the Miracle Belt™ with stationary weight. Because the weighted belt is centered around the waist less weight is needed to provide effective proprioceptive feedback for sensory regulation. So the old mentality of 10% of body weight has been thrown out the window. Not only does less weight work more effectively around the waist but it also elliminates excess body heat and discomfort caused by the weighted vest and weighted lap pad. Many therapists have noticed how the weighted lap pad constantly falls off children during therapy sessions. Since the Miracle Belt™ is secured around the waist the belt provides children with a solid base of support creating a stronger core which is the foundation of all movement. Therapeutic weighted belts are clearly more effective than a weighted vest or weighted lap pad.

Kim Kardashian got back to the day job following her jet setting few weeks with new boyfriend Kanye West yesterday and posed for a shoot in a revealing slashed bikini.
The reality TV star gave fans a sneak peak of a steamy shoot for Esquire Magazine with the star looking smoking hot in a black swimsuit and heels that left very little to the imagination.
Clearly pleased with the super hot look the 31 year-old proudly tweeted the images to her millions of followers.
We wonder if she did it to remind her 'Gold Digger' lover what he is missing while the couple are apart. The busy stars have been dating for over two months and have looked pretty loved up as they travelled to the UK and the Cannes Film Festival in recent weeks.
The pair seem to be getting serious very quickly with those close to the star claiming Kim is trying everything to impress the rapper.
She has even been making an effort to get to know his friends and was spotted hanging out backstage at Beyonce's comback gig in Atlantic City over the weekend.
Kim And Kanye Make A Hot Couple...

Blizzard, as you probably already know, was not at E3 this year (officially, anyway -- they did have at least a few folks wandering the exhibit halls). But that doesn't mean there wasn't anything for you WoW fans: both Elizabeth Harper and I were there from WoW.com working with our sister sites Joystiq and Massively, and as WoW fans, we saw plenty of awesome games and demos that you should know about.
So even if you haven't been paying attention to E3 information on other sites, here's a quick wrapup of ten different things you should know from last week's big convention if you're a WoW player. There were no big expansion announcements or hints at future Blizzard releases -- they're saving all of that for BlizzCon this year. But there were a few games to watch, a few booths to marvel at, and a few trends to notice that you'll want to be aware of even if you're spending most or all of your gaming time in Azeroth. Hit the break for the first four.
1. Activision was there in force. Guitar Hero 5, DJ Hero, Modern Warfare 2, Tony Hawk's Ride, Transformers, and racing game Blur were some of the many titles Blizzard's partner company had on display. And a large display it was -- they took up a good part of the West Hall with giant video screens surrounding a massive, extremely loud stage, full of periodic game demos and displays. In fact, this is probably the first E3 in which Activision was bigger than even EA, and very likely the biggest non-console maker in the house. The company Blizzard shares a name with is not small, and though they declined to be a part of the show floor last year, they were definitely there showing off multiple sequels and giant titles due out later this year.
2. Star Wars: The Old Republic looks great... so far. Let's see -- an MMO put together by an all-star developer, based on an extremely popular IP that's already played host to a few popular games? Sure, that could describe Blizzard and Warcraft -- or it could describe Bioware and Knights of the Old Republic, their old Star Wars property. Everyone wants to see what they'll do with the MMO genre, and from the little bit we saw at the show, the game likely won't disappoint: they're planning to run different Bioware-style campaigns across the world for each class, so that as you play each class (Smuggler, Jedi, Bounty Hunter), you'll never do the same quest twice. Oh, and have you seen that trailer? You've still got a few years of WoW left to play, but when it finally does come out, The Old Republic will be one to watch for sure.
3. You've got your shooter in my MMO! We didn't see much in terms of fantasy MMOs this year, but the newest trend seems to be mixing in some action/shooter gameplay to the MMO genre. APB, The Agency, Global Agenda, Fallen Earth, and Jumpgate Evolution are all planning to give MMO players a little extra action rather than the swords-and-sorcery gameplay that we've seen in MMOs like Warcraft and others so far. Blizzard has certainly experimented with some more action-oriented gameplay (with varying results, to say the least), but if one of these MMOs really takes off, we might see some of their ideas translated back into Azeroth.
4. Final Fantasy Online is coming back. One of the biggest surprise announcements of the show was that Square Enix is aiming to release Final Fantasy XIV, their second MMO title in the series, next year. It was quite a shock (especially since number XIII in the series isn't even out yet), but it'll be interesting to see what they do. Final Fantasy XI Online, while it never really competed with WoW's numbers, was and is a very popular MMO, and you have to think that, a few years later, Square Enix will try borrowing some ideas from Blizzard's big game. We doubt it'll draw too many players away (you probably already want to play FFXIV or you don't care too much), but it bears noticing that FFXI was released just months before WoW. What will another Final Fantasy online game look like post-WoW?
5. Nobody much cares about competing with WoW, anyway. A few years ago, whenever you talked to an MMO developer, all they could talk about was how different their game was from World of Warcraft, and how they were going to pull players away from it. But this year, we almost didn't hear the game's name uttered -- it was used for comparisons in terms of classes and mechanics, but really, everyone just seemed to assume that WoW players are playing WoW and that people who want to play these new games will play these new games. That could be for a few reasons: first of all, WoW is now the granddaddy of MMOs. Many companies have spent lots of money to pull players away from Azeroth, and it just hasn't worked, so most devs have just stopped trying. Of course, it could also be because these devs don't really consider WoW a threat any more -- why should they bother competing against a four-year-old game? Truthfully, we like it anyway -- it's much more interesting talking to devs about their game than about how it compares to World of Warcraft. And people will always play what they want to play.

The De Justo, or Peri Dikaiou, is occasionally found in manuscripts of Plato's dialogues; it has, however, never been generally regarded as other than spurious. It is not especially readable -- it reads like an abridgment and clumsy adaptation of some other work, and is usually taken to be such -- but it does have some interest. It has close affinities with a passage in Xenophon's Memorabilia (IV.2.12-20), which suggests two possibilities -- either the author is adapting Xenophon or, what is usually taken to be more likely, both Xenophon and the author have a common text that they are adapting -- Hutchinson's introduction in the Complete Works suggests as a possibility the (nonextant) dialogue On Law by Socrates' student Antisthenes.
I can find no online translation of this short dialogue, but you are not missing much if you don't read it; it is somewhat unclear and abrupt, and of more historical than substantive interest.
The Characters
One of the characters is explicitly called Socrates; the other is not named.
The Thought
Socrates opens by asking what the just is; his interlocutor suggests that it whatever is established as just by custom. Socrates doesn't like this answer; he notes that if you asked what an eye was, the natural way to respond would be to say it is what you see with. So what does justice do? The interlocutor doesn't know, so Socrates goes through a number of other analogies, and manages to get the interlocutor to recognize that justice has something to do with what judges do by speaking. Since the interlocutor is still unable to say what justice is, Socrates asks whether people do injustice willingly or unwillingly. The interlocutor says willingly, but Socrates quotes Epicharmus of Syracuse: "No one is willingly wicked, nor unwillingly blessed" (374b).
The interlocutor responds that singers tell many lies, so this turns the discussion to lying. Socrates gets the interlocutor to admit that "lying, harming, and deceiving are unjust" (374c), but when he asks if this is the case even with enemies, the interlocutor balks, and then on further pressing says that it is not unjust to help a friend by lying. Socrates gets the interlocutor to characterize justice by saying that an act is just if it is done if and when one should do it. But in general, Socrates notes with a few examples, people who do what they should do it because of their knowledge; so people would then do justice because of their knowledge: "justice is what our ancestors handed down to us as wisdom and injustice is what they handed down to us as ignorance" (375c).
But if it comes down to knowledge, people are ignorant unwillingly, so they would be unjust unwillingly. Socrates concludes that Epicharmus did not lie, and his interlocutor concedes.
