Estranged Adult Daughter
September 26, 2012 at 10:47 pm in Family & Relationships by Anonymous
My daughter is 36 and over the past 22 years she has been disrespectful to me. I have put up with it, then we argue about it, and we have a falling out and this has happened too many times to count. I have 3 grandchildren that I love. She doesn't prevent me from seeing them. But I am very uncomfortable around her. She has recently said some very mean things to me and I have spent so much time and money on her and the kids.
I was a single mom raising her and I have mental problems that I didn't understand to know how to address until 2001. I am on medication now. She sees me as weak and yet she is proud and will never apologize or admit she's wrong. I tried pleading with her to compromise and move forward but she won't budge. She says she is not responsible for my life. I have never said that she was. She has also told me that my 14 year old granddaughter feels uncomfortable around me because she thinks I judge her and don't listen to her. Now I am the one uncomfortable.
My heart is broken and I can't stop crying. I tried to relay that to my daughter and all she says is "it's all about you!" type of remarks. I live alone and I am 56 and still work full time. I don't drive so I can't just go see my grandchildren and they don't live near public transportation. They have only one car which my son-in-law uses to go to work. I feel so lonely and upset and I don't think there is a way for my daughter and I ever to make peace. No matter what I say she twists it and turns it against me. I did dote on her a lot in the past because she was all I had. I was over disciplined as a child so I tried to not be over strict yet I was protective of her and she always had love, a roof and clothes and food though I worked and we were poor. But I did the best I could. She saw me depressed and saw me have a nervous breakdown when she was in kindergarten and then she witnessed another in 2001 and then I got the help from medication. She says things like "I love you but you are toxic to me" the "but" pretty much ruled out love I think. She is just so mean to me.

Three nights after their last second loss to the Indiana Pacers in the same building where they managed to score just 77 points, 40 of which were Kobe Bryant's, the Lakers were on fire offensively across the board as they converted a franchise record-equalling 17 three-pointers.
Dwight Howard played up to his big money reputation with 20 rebounds and 28 points, 16 of which came in the first quarter, with Antawn Jamison and Jodie Meeks coming off the bench to find their range.
Jamison top-scored with 33 points and added 12 rebounds while Meeks added 21 points from seven successful three-point bombs to help the Lakers improve to 8-8 on the year and drop the Nuggets to 8-9.
"I was able to get a couple of easy baskets in the first quarter and then just got into the flow of things," Jamison told reporters.
"I didn't expect to lead the team in shot attempts and points, I don't think there will be too many of those opportunities, but my team mates just did a great job looking for me and getting me involved."
The bench duo were the first Lakers reserves to score at least 20 points each since Bryant, who played a support role on Friday with 14 points and eight assists, and Nick van Exel in 1998.
"Antawn has been a scoring machine for his whole career and we bring out the best in each other," Meeks, 25, told reporters.
"If he gets going I want to get going as well. I am trying to learn on the fly, I am a young guy in this league, but I think I'm doing a pretty good job of learning from these guys."

In Theaters This Week
There are no dinosaurs. No swirling cosmos. Not even a confused Sean Penn stumbling about in the desert.
But the gorgeously impressionistic and intensely spiritual "To the Wonder" is 100 percent Terrence Malick, even though it is less ambitious than 2011's Oscar-nominated, if not universally appreciated, "The Tree of Life."
From the breathy, trancelike dialogue fragments that could have been lifted from a wispy Calvin Klein cologne commercial to the sensual scenes of undulating water caressing a shoreline, "Wonder" typifies the work of one of modern cinema's most talented masters.
As in all Malick films -- from "Badlands" to "Tree" -- the wonders of the natural world carry more weight than dialogue and a linear narrative. That's been a trouble spot for those seeking something with more of a conventional storytelling approach, and it's the reason his work is so polarizing. That said, "To the Wonder" does represent a modest departure, a more literal-minded and accessible exploration of Malick's favorite themes about nature, romance and faith. The changes are welcome, even if the film isn't as powerful or adventurous as "Tree."
"To the Wonder" does rank as quality Malick as it follows the soul-searching plights of four characters, all of whom face spiritual and emotional crises. Marina (Olga Kurylenko, of "Quantum of Solace") is a single mom in Paris who moves to Oklahoma after she falls for the handsome but emotionally shut-off American Neil (Ben Affleck) in Europe. Father Quintana (Javier Bardem) tends to the ailing and poor, but he fails to feel the compassion of Christ flow through him. And then there's Jane (Rachel McAdams), a sad but beautiful woman from Neil's past who briefly appears to try to chip away at Neil's stoicism.
The turmoil swirling inside these characters is presented in trademark elliptical Malick fashion, with less attention paid to plot and more focus on mood and the stunning natural-world cinematography of Emmanuel Lubezki.
The result is visual poetry that's dimmed only by Affleck's uncomfortable performance. As a conflicted construction engineer at odds with others and his environment, the usually solid actor (and director) never ventures beyond obvious tics, including walking around with his hands stuck in his pockets. Malick doesn't help the actor much, presenting fewer opportunities for him to burrow into the disharmony inside Neil.
The rest of the cast, however, is remarkable. Kurylenko is sexy and passionate, and McAdams is haunted and lovely. But it's Bardem who is outstanding. He gives a touching performance in which he unerringly reveals the deep anguish a man of the cloth experiences when disconnected from Christ's teachings.
It's in these scenes that "To the Wonder" ascends to a higher, more inspired plane of filmmaking. The gospel according to Malick might not be all that original for him, but this sermon remains timeless and transcendent.

There are many
different places that you can turn to for your auto
financing needs. If youre not sure of your options, you
need to take the time to research whats out there and
make the most of it for your specific needs. By doing
this, youll be able to be better informed and more
prepared for the world of auto finance. The first rule
is that if you cant afford a car, you shouldnt buy it.
This might seem obvious, but many people do whatever
they can to find a way to afford a vehicle that is far
too expensive for their budget, including getting loans
that extend for far too long and even paying more than
they should just because they like the car. The worst
thing that you can do is walk into a dealership with no
financing in place, and not have a firm understanding of
what you want to spend. For starters, get pre-approved
for auto financing before you even visit a dealership.
This will give you a better idea of your budget. Also,
you should learn to stand your ground and never pay
sticker price for a vehicle. You should be firm in your
bargaining, so that the salesman knows that they arent
going to sell you a vehicle unless they give you exactly
what you want and need. For example, if you are looking
to spend less than $14,000, and the car that you find is
sticker priced at $17,995, you should be able to talk
the dealer down or move on to a different vehicle. Play
hard to get, and youll likely get the deal that you
deserve. It might seem silly to walk away or even walk
out of a dealership empty-handed, but this will show
them that youre serious, and their desire to sell you a
car will likely allow you to get the deal that you want
when you do this. If you act like you dont care whether
you get the car or not, but let them know that you do
like it, youll be much better off than if you appear
desperate and willing to do whatever it takes to get
that car. If you dont get auto financing before you go
into a dealership, you should still stand your ground
and be firm in what you want to pay. For example, tell
them that you only want to pay x amount for a monthly
payment for the car that you are interested in, and
dont budge. This will make them work harder to get you
the auto finance that you deserve, because they know
that they cant take advantage of you or talk you into
something that you cant afford. As long as you take the
time to consider these things, youll have no trouble
getting the auto financing and the car that you want.

Today the spotlight was on Tallahassee movie theatre, Miracle 5. Tomorrow the lights will be turned off for good. Two community members are taking center stage to show how important the movie theatre is to people.
This is a real show stopper. Tallahassee movie theatre Miracle 5 will play it's final film tomorrow at 7:00 pm. "It was kind of a shock. I couldn't believe it!" says Miracle 5 movie goer, Frank Douglas.
Regal decided not to renew their lease with Miracle 5. The news became public on Thursday giving only 3 days notice. Douglas says, ""Had I known it was gonna do that I would've come every week!"
The theater has been showing independent and foreign films since 1968. Community members like Sarah Mitchell say there's nothing quite like it. "This is an experience. It's not just seeing a movie and being passive. You always leave knowing a little bit more about yourself when you leave movies from this theater."
Rachel Gustafson and Staci Mellman feel the same way. They decided to take the stage and put on a final show in the Miracle 5 parking lot this evening 8/13/11. They organized for local bands and food vendors to come together to pay tribute to the community theater and to support independent films. Gustafson says, "Make sure that the conversation doesn't end today and that independent film is a mainstay in our community."
The people hope another person will come along and open an independent theater. Gustafson says, "Miracle 5s next owner is here with us they just don't know it yet."

Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks is Kanye West's new muse?
According to sources, she accompanied him to photo shoots and helped make page edits. The issue includes a first-person essay from West, where he talks at length about his mother's death.
"When I moved to LA, she moved to LA. And she wound up in a place that would eat her alive. Even if I stayed in New York, it wouldn't have been like that. If I had lived in New York, she'd still be here," the New York Post quoted a source as saying.

Anna Karenina
by Leo Tolstoy
Anna Karenina Part 2, Chapter 12 Summary
- Even after three months, Levin is still not over Kitty. He blushes every time he thinks about having been refused. He waits impatiently for news that she's been married, hoping that this will help him get over her.
- Spring comes.
- In the face of such beautiful weather, Levin resolves to lead a solitary and virtuous life.
- He gets a letter from Masha saying that his brother Nicholas's health has deteriorated, but that Nicholas refuses to get treatment.
- Levin goes to Moscow, convinces his brother to get treatment, and succeeds in lending him some money.
- Levin spends his time farming, reading, and writing book on farming. His life is full—only rarely does he feel the need to discuss topics with someone other than Miss Agatha, his nurse.
- Levin's book on farming begins with the premise that the science of farming should not be reduced to questions of soil and climate alone, but should also taken into account the "known, immutable" (2, 12, 3) character of the worker (about which he does not elaborate).

From release
CHARLOTTE – Less than 5,500 tickets are still available for the 2010 Dr. Pepper Atlantic Coast Conference Football Championship game, it was announced this week by game officials.
A gifted receiver like Perry Tuttle, an All-American at Clemson and a former NFL star, you would figure would be sporting a football.
These days Tuttle, a motivational speaker and author, totes a suitcase.

NEW YORK — The price of oil fell to near $95 a barrel on Monday, as the dollar continued to strengthen against the yen and other major currencies.
Benchmark oil for June delivery fell 87 cents to finish at $95.17 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The stronger dollar is pushing down oil prices to fall, analysts said. The dollar has risen in recent days against the euro and last week passed the 100-yen mark for the first time in four years.
Since oil is traded in dollars, a stronger dollar makes crude and other commodities less appealing to investors with other currencies.
"This, like the stock market, ends up pulling a lot of money out of commodities and into more reliable risk," said Carl Larry, president of Oil Outlooks and Opinions, a research analysis firm.
An increase in OPEC's output, which grew by 280,000 barrels to 30.46 million barrels a day in April compared with March, also helped drag down prices by boosting concerns about excess supply.
And weak refining data from China further undercut crude. Government statistics showed China's refining output in April was the lowest since last August.
Brent crude, which is a benchmark for many international oil varieties, was down $1.09 to end at $102.82 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
— Wholesale gasoline fell 4 cents to finish at $2.82 a gallon.
— Heating oil lost 2 cents to end at $2.89 a gallon.
— Natural gas rose 2 cents to finish at $3.93 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Iocaine Powder is a heuristically designed compilation of strategies and meta-strategies which took first place in Darse Billings' excellent First International RoShamBo Programming Competition. You may use its source code freely; I ask only that you give me credit for any derived works. I attempt here to explain how it works.
At this point, you should be getting weary of the endless chain. "We could second-guess each other forever," you say. But no; because of the nature of RoShamBo, P.3 recommends you play paper -- just like P.0! So we're only left with these three strategies, each of which will suggest a different alternative. (This may not seem useful to you, but have patience.)
Iocaine Powder's basic meta-strategy is simple: Use past performance to judge future results.
The basic assumption made by this meta-strategy is that an opponent will not quickly vary their strategy. Either they will play some predictive algorithm P, or they will play to defeat it, or use some level of second-guessing; but whatever they do, they will do it consistently. To take advantage of this (assumed) predictability, at every round Iocaine Powder measures how well each of the strategies under consideration (six for every predictive algorithm!) would have done, if it had played them. It assigns each one a score, using the standard scoring scheme used by the tournament: +1 point if the strategy would have won the hand, -1 if it would have lost, 0 if it would have drawn.
Then, to actually choose a move, Iocaine Powder simply picks the strategy variant with the highest score to date.
The end result is that, for any given predictive technique, we will beat any contestant that would be beaten by the technique, any contestant using the technique directly, and any contestant designed to defeat the technique directly.
Once history is established, this predictor easily defeats many weak contestants. Perhaps more importantly, the application of meta-strategy allows Iocaine to outguess other strong opponents.
In fact, Iocaine even varies the horizon of its meta-strategy analyzer! Strategies are compared over the last 1000, 100, 10, 5, 2, and 1 moves, and a meta-meta-strategy decides which meta-strategy to use (based on which picker performed best over the total history of the game). This was designed to defeat contestants which switch strategy, and to outfox variants of the simpler, older version of Iocaine Powder.
As a final word, note that any good strategy should have a random fallback (if it's losing, start playing randomly). It's not possible to beat such a strategy by very much, so a competition populated by entries designed by people who realize this basic fact would be quite boring. Since it's the "dumb" entries that make RoShamBo interesting, so the challenge is mostly to figure out the things entrants who are not very bright will think of.

Three Brewton-Parker College alumni will be in featured roles during Alumni Weekend festivities Saturday on the campus in Mount Vernon, announced Renee McMillan, director of alumni relations.
Hugh Tyner, a 1978 Brewton-Parker graduate and a worship pastor in suburban Las Vegas, Nev., will be the guest speaker during the Alumni Tributes Service, which begins at 10 a.m. in Saliba Chapel.
Professional pianist and entertainer David Williams, a 1984 Brewton-Parker graduate, returns to headline the Musical Spotlight at 2 p.m. in the Gilder Recital of the Miller Music Building.
Pauline Taylor Hunt, a 1976 graduate, will join Williams for the Musical Spotlight and also will sing during the luncheon that follows the Alumni Tributes Service.
Tyner is the worship pastor for Masterpiece Church in Henderson, Nev. After he finished his bachelor of music education degree at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala., Tyner went on to further study at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, as well as North Texas State University in Denton, Texas.
During much of the 1980s, Tyner served in music and youth ministry positions in Texas and Oklahoma. He has been an entertainer and music producer in Los Angeles and for shows in Las Vegas over much of the 1990s, including music director for nine tours in eight Asian countries.
In 1999, he started his own construction company in Las Vegas and continues projects from time to time. He recently surrendered to full time Ministry with a deep burden for musicians on the Las Vegas Strip.
The service also includes the presentation of the Brewton-Parker College National Alumni Board's annual awards: Alumnus of the Year – Colon Sammons ('60) of Mount Vernon; Friend of the Year – Bill Brown of Lyons, member of the BPC Board of Trustees; Minister of the Year – John Rainey ('72) of Thomasville; Young Alumnus of the Year – Harry "Bucky" Kennedy ('85) of Vidalia; Half-Century Alumnus of the Year – Tom Gullatt ('43) of Fairburn; Honorary Alumna – Betty Jo Franklin of Madison; and three inductees into the Athletic Hall of Fame– Jason Kinchen ('99), baseball; Terrell Wallace ('01), men's basketball; and Sandra Roos ('99), women's soccer.
Hunt is a gospel recording artist who resides in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. She established a singing telegram ministry, Send-A-Song, and her own recording label, Power and Light Musical Group. She has a new CD titled "Yes, God is Real." She is also a registered music therapist and special education teacher, and also has a nursing home and a sick and shut-in ministry.
Hunt recently performed at the 109th Celebration of the NAACP in New York City. She also accompanied her father, gospel singer Bro. Theotis Taylor, to Carnegie Hall for his performance at its 100th Anniversary Celebration in New York City. She currently performs as a church soloist and for the City of Dallas' special events. She also performed at the First Management Forum at the Dallas Meyerson Symphony Center.
Williams is an elementary school music specialist at Appling County Elementary School in Baxley and director of Georgia's first elementary performing show choir, the Aces. He is a professional pianist and entertainer who has traveled and performed in 41 states and in Canada for the past 24 years. He has two recordings that are very successful: "Reflections & Memories" – a compilation of hymns and gospel songs, and "Remember When…" – a collection of standards, show tunes and cocktail piano.
Williams owns and operates "The Studio" which is an exclusive private studio offering instruction in piano, keyboard, organ, voice and pageant preparation including evening gown, swimsuit, interview and talent competitions. He has been active in the Miss America Pageant System for many years serving as coach, emcee and entertainer.
Williams chartered the Aces, who have taken tours to Atlanta for the opening of the Christmas Celebration at the State Capitol and in Washington, D.C., where they performed on the ellipse of the White House for President Bush's 67th birthday.
Williams and Hunt will be in the Phillips Student Center foyer from 1-2 p.m. Saturday selling and autographing copies of their CDs, including Hunt's, "Yes, God is Real." They also will be selling CDs after the Showcase in Gilder Recital Hall.
Saturday's events also include the opportunity for purchasers of the book "Brewton-Parker College: Triumph Over Adversity, the First One-Hundred Years" to have their copy signed by author Ann C. Turner, librarian and director of the Fountain-New Library and college archivist at Brewton-Parker.
Turner's book signing during will be in the Phillips Student Center foyer. Books may be purchased at the Campus Store in the Phillips Student Center for the signing, which will be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Through the 320-page volume, Turner
chronicles the college's founding in 1904 as the Union Baptist Institute,
a Baptist elementary and high school, and how the institution progressed to
a junior college and eventually, to a senior college.

Website Credibility Determined by the Search Route
4.27.10 | New research on how young adults evaluate web content concludes that how students get to a website is a key factor in determining how much credibility they assign to the site.
Photo by UBC Library Graphics
"Trust Online: Young Adults' Evaluation of Web Content" appears in the current issue of the International Journal of Communication. The paper's lead author is Eszter Hargittai, associate professor in the communication studies department at Northwestern Unversity. Co-authors include graduate students Lindsay Fullerton, Ericka Menchen-Trevino and Kristin Yates Thomas.
The authors found that "the process by which users arrive at a site is an important component of how they judge the final destination. In particular, search context, branding and routines, and a reliance on those in one's networks play important roles in online information-seeking and evaluation. We also discuss that users differ considerably in their skills when it comes to judging online content credibility."
The research is based on a 2007 evaluation of 1,060 first-year students at University of Chicago. Instead of asking study participants to evaluate a hypothetical website in an experimental setting, the researchers looked at navigation. "This approach," they write, "allows us to observe and analyze users' actions from initial steps of the information-seeking process through the entire search process of obtaining a response to a question and evaluating the found content."
Among the findings:
A clear theme that emerged from our observational and interview sessions is that the process of information-seeking is often as important as verifying the results when it comes to assessing the credibility of online content. Previous research has shown that users display considerable trust in certain search engines such as Google (Pan et al., 2007) although such work has largely been based on experimental methods and does not go so far as to consider users' credibility assessment of results explicitly.
We find evidence of users' trust in search engines with respect to the credibility of information they find when using these services. To complete many of the assigned tasks, students often turned to a particular search engine as their first step. When using a search engine, many students clicked on the first search result. Over a quarter of respondents mentioned that they chose a Web site because the search engine had returned that site as the first result suggesting considerable trust in these services. In some cases, the respondent regarded the search engine as the relevant entity for which to evaluate trustworthiness, rather than the Web site that contained the information. The following exchange between the researcher and a female social science major illustrates this point well:
Researcher: What is this Web site?
Respondent: Oh, I don't know. The first thing that came up.
As for reliance on known brands, there was much love shown for Google, which was mentioned by 85 percent of the participants. Other search engines and websites mentioned include: Yahoo! (51 percent), SparkNotes (38 percent), MapQuest (36 percent), Microsoft (24 percent), Wikipedia (19 percent), AOL (11 percent) and Facebook (6 percent).
The study also looked at attitudes toward .com, .org and .edu sites, and at online skill differences:
As our findings show, students are not always turning to the most relevant cues to determine the credibility of online content. Accordingly, initiatives that help educate people in this domain – whether in formal or informal settings – could play an important role in achieving an informed Internet citizenry.

When you're raised in a large family, you learn at an early age that there is something different between your family and the smaller families of your friends. Kindergarteners still sleeping in baby beds was my norm, that is until I started Kindergarten and discovered that (much to the teasing delight of my fellow classmates,) it was NOT the norm indeed. I can assure you that I was the only kindergartener in my school still sleeping in a baby bed. In a household dividing nine children amongst three bedrooms, it's fairly obvious that the low man on the totem pole is going to get left holding the short end of the bedpost. I was number eight of those nine and number nine was still in a bassinet at the time. Thankfully, my oldest sister joined the convent about the same time I started kindergarten, and I was soon promoted to side-less bed status.
We weren't a poor family by any means, but I think all will agree that compromises have to be made when there are that many mouths to feed and that many bodies to clothe. I will always remember my first "new" winter coat. I was thirteen at the time. Of course all of the daughters shared the same Communion dress, and by the time it was handed down to me, the others had left their marks on it, so to speak. Water conservation was always an ongoing issue, mandating the weekly Saturday bath ratio to be one tubful of water to nine parts kid. And once again, the low man on the totem pole got the short end of the stick and left the tub dirtier than she went in.
"Waste not, want not" was my mother's favorite saying and she followed that mantra throughout all aspects of her homemaking. We reused foil and the wax paper in cereal boxes. We washed out baggies and used handkerchiefs instead of kleenex. And the woman could stretch a food dollar to beyond imaginable limits. One chicken could feed eleven people, if ample bread and potatoes were served with it. She made every part of the bird serviceable and since LMOTP (say it with me, Low Man On Totem Pole) got what the elders left behind, my favorite part of the chicken was forced upon me. Fried chicken neck, to be specific. It was my norm until many years later, when once again I was forced to accept the embarrassment that accompanied all my faux-formed norms. It was while ordering at my very first "sit down" restaurant that I learned chicken necks were really not part of ANY restaurant's menu. I can't pass the Glandorf Inn to this day without my cheeks turning a thousand shades of red.
And then there were the birthdays. (sigh) I think I eventually accepted all the other differences between my friends and myself, but my family's lack of sufficient birthday recognition really cheezed my ass. Other kids were having parties with bakery-made and decorated cakes, balloons, presents, and other various and enviable birthday accoutrements, and my birthday recognition consisted merely of a homemade cake. No party. No presents. No nothing. Devastation became my birthday norm and it wasn't until I became an adult that I decided to take my norm into my own hands. Enter, the Birth Month. From July 1st thru the 31st, it's all about me. My hubby and kids know that from the minute they flip over June's calendar page, there's a new queen in town. And each year I get such a kick out of hearing them sing "Happy Birthmonth to You."
Years pass and queens get older and less self-centered. And this queen also managed to give birth to a princess in the very month of July, mandating the whole "share-the-birthmonth" policy. However, I still hang on to my "birthweek" celebration. And today is kickoff. Four days until fifty.

The latest (below) was just sent me by my FNC colleague Mike Emanuel.
Headline? expect a blistering political fight!
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee says the organization will back Sen. Mike Enzi over challenger Liz Cheney in the campaign for the Republican nomination in Wyoming.
Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas told reporters on Tuesday that, in his words, "our support will be there for Mike." He spoke just moments after Cheney announced that she would challenge the three-term incumbent in the GOP primary.
Moran also says that Republican senators are clearly behind their colleague.
His comments are a clear message to Cheney that she faces a fight from Senate Republicans over her decision to take on the incumbent.

The Video Games Show (VGS for short) first hit the Internet airwaves on April 7, 2004. The brainchild of Rich Bergin, Chris "Hoss" Neupert and Michael "Nickel" Nicholson, the concept of the show came from three gamers that happened to work at a sports radio station (KFNS, 590 AM St. Louis, MO) and spent most of their free time talking about games. Our idea was a radio show for gamers that would be made by gamers, not by people that let their opinions be influenced by how much free stuff game companies would give away. We wanted to provide reviews and opinions based on the common gamer that just spent $60 on the latest games. The first ever episode of VGS was intended to be a pilot program for a proposed call in show on KFNS. When the concept was deemed not suited for the format of the station, the crew decided to create http://www.videogamesshow.com as a place to download and listen to the show. This was all before podcasting was even a concept. Using a grassroots campaign of posting (and getting banned) from various video game forums, VGS found an audience that grew and grew.
In 2005, The Video Games Show first appeared in podcast form on iTunes. They also established relationships with Internet radio networks stageselect.com and allgames.com. These moves expanded the VGS audience to a worldwide level. Between late 2005 and early 2007, the VGS operations expanded even further. This included expanding the VGS website to include forums and editorials by the staff, becoming part of the Microsoft Zune network and included the additions of Marketing Manager/Co-Host Ariel and regular guest host Officer Sam. Many other unusual ideas were incorporated, including VGS poker nights, mini episodes featured on the VGS MySpace page and adding interns (this didn't take off as it was envisioned). All and all, VGS was growing bigger and bigger.
Then, in May 2007, Nickel left the show, which created a major void in VGS as Nickel was not just the "Freak in the Cage," but he was also in charge of the technical and online operations of VGS. During this transitional period, one time guest Nick "Kraft" Kraftor took on the reigns of Producer, a difficult task considering he lived a different city at the time. Despite some internal issues, including the exit of Ariel, VGS was reformatted and changes were made in the layout of the show that remain in place today. Once he moved back to St. Louis, Kraft was invited to be the third host along with Rich and Hoss. This new element breathed new life into the show and added the now trademarked sarcastic tone to the show.
After the birth of his first child and a major promotion at KFNS, Hoss left the show (though he occasionally appeared for few more episodes) in February 2008, leaving control of VGS to Rich and Kraft. They continued to record at the KFNS studios until March 2009, where they then built and started recording from a home studio. During this period, Kraft introduced new concepts of audience interaction using Skype, a chat room built into the VGS website, and even using webcams during the show. It was during this period that "Big" Josh Dick and Ron "Bongo" Brock started on their VGS journey, going from listeners to future members of the VGS crew. Rich and Kraft then introduced a second podcast, Bombed Out Radio (BoR), which began as an uncensored, non-gaming related pre-show before each episode of VGS. BoR lasted for 37 episodes before being retired as the crew made their next big transition.
Kraft started attending the University of Missouri-St. Louis and began doing a weekly, Monday night radio show called This Week in Geek. It wasn't long before Rich joined in and VGS found a new home at The U (http://www.umslradio.com) and has remained ever since August 2010, broadcasting every Monday from 9p-11p CST. It was through The U that Rich and Kraft met future VGS Manager "Playtex" Keith Robinson, who went from boss man extreme to regular co-host. In addition, The U served as location of the historical episodes 300 & 400, as well as GameAPalooza 2010. Finally, after feeling a bit stir crazy, Rich and Kraft built the VGS mobile studio so that the show can be taken on location for midnight game launches, Game Jams, St. Louis Game Developer meet-ups, and even the ever favorite On-the-Road episodes as the boys go video game hunting. Kraft took a much needed hiatus for family reasons which spawned new co-host Addy, Mr Smith, and Cassie to fill in. VGS has since left The U after will be going homegrown with an in house studio bringing in Skype for opportunities with new co-host and listeners to call or skype in to the show starting October 2015. Kraft has returned from hiatus.
All in all, it has been a wild road from the humble beginnings of The Video Games Show since April 2004. One thing that has held true since day one is the crew is always focused on entertaining the listeners every week and presenting the gaming industry from the view of the everyday gamer. Sure, the guys may have become more bitter, sarcastic, and occasionally bias over the years, but VGS remains stronger than ever as we approach the ten year anniversary. Here's to many more years of VGS insanity. Bang howdy!
Favorite Game: Super Metroid (SNES)
Least Favorite Game: Gravity Games (PS2/Xbox)
While working at a sports radio station in 2003, I, along with Hoss & Nickel, created The Video Games Show. What started out as a grassroots, word-of-mouth effort became the world famous podcast that his listened to in but one of the Earth's continents (someone download an episode in Antarctica please). Besides hosting, I am responsible for organizing the news, post editing the shows, and creating new content whenever possible. With a background in radio broadcasting, audio production, writing, comedy and improv, I use all my creative abilities to put together the most informative, entertaining and outright funny episodes each and every week. Bang Howdy and welcome in!
Over the years I have turned into an indy-game junkie. A lot of these overproduced, overpriced, over-hyped "games" just don't appeal to me as much they used to. Nowadays I am more at home playing through classic games on one of my many classic consoles or seeing what gems are available for a couple bucks on the Xbox Live Arcade or Steam.
I'm curious to see where the gaming industry is going to go in the next 10 years. With more new gaming concepts, such as episodic gaming, I have hope that gaming may come around to what originally made it great challenging gameplay and fantastic story arcs. No matter what happens to the game industry, I will be here to give frank and candid opinions that are not influenced by game company hype and sway.
There are guys who are just video game junkies and then there is me. My relation with the show started when I was named the evil station manager by Rich and Kraft. For some reasons, on Monday nights, I kept showing up at the station and finally they invited me in. So, now, I get the joy of being yelled almost every Monday night!But seriously, I'm not against games, I just don't play them cause I never had the time. Thankfully, Rich and Kraft are helping me become a gamer just like all of you. So, sooner or later, I will finally past a Level 1 and reach Level 2. When that happens, I couldn't tell you, but it will be a fun journey!
Favorite Game – Diablo 2
Least Favorite Game – W.O.W.
Been a listener and follower of VGS for several years. I was around for basically the start of the podcast with Hoss, Rich and Nickel. I've been here through the divorce and restart of VGS and started contributing to the show about a year ago, starting with just emails into the show and geeking out like a little kid because I heard my name on a podcast. Slowly, I started contributing more and was an admin for the VGS Minecraft Server. Being an admin for the server, I started calling into the show to give updates to the server and started getting to know the guys. After starting to submit questions that became the segment "Would You Rather…." and creating a couple audio games, Rich and Kraft asked me to become a little more permanent fixture in the VGS Crew and I was more than happy to accept their invite.
A little about me – I've been a gamer since the Atari 2600. Been a NES/SNES gamer, Playstation 1-3 and dabble a little in PC gaming as well. Currently been in a retro gaming kick, going back to my roots of gaming….

I have worked with both Rich and Kraft on a previous and awful project called Xbox Addict for where I am damaged goods as a human being after the giveaways from hell on that site. – I kid Stephen….
Former LAN Party host with two events in Virginia over 10 years. PC Gaming runs in my veins though I have an Xbox 360 and PS3. I will play just about any type of game. My first computer was a Radio Shack TRS-80 and my first gaming system was an Atari 800 that would also play Atari 2600 games…that is how far back I go! I love technology and keeping up with any geek industry news.
As regular supporter of VGS behind the scenes for the past few years, I found the guys wanting true talent on the show and they start creating (torturing) me with any segments initially. From Ask Big Josh/Santa to Josh's momma jokes. It is all in good fun and it is a privilege to be on the show with these guys. In my spare time, I host my own podcast. Tune in after listening to VGS to the Geeked Out Podcast w/ Chris and Josh.

Non-mathematicians are quick to balk when told that 0.999… is the same as 1, and mathematicians are equally quick to laugh at them and mock them for it, but the skeptics really do have a point. Real numbers are used constantly, but are never really defined, at least not until 3rd or 4th year of a four-year pure math program, if then. Abandoned with no true definition of real numbers, and exposed to a non-mathematician's lifelong math education, it's entirely reasonable that a person will implicitly identify the real numbers with formal infinite strings of decimals with the obvious order and arithmetic. We cannot blame them when all their lives we've sold them one thing and then suddenly in a 2nd semester calculus course we pull a bait-and-switch and declare 0.9999…=1. Sure, we never explicitly said that the reals are their decimal strings, but we never said what exactly they were any other way. The real question is not so much, why is 0.9999…=1, but rather, why do mathematicians pick the definition they do?
There is a set of number-like things, call them "pseudo-reals", with the property that 0.999…≠1. Namely, the set of formal strings satisfying certain rules. A pseudo-real must contain a decimal point, it must contain infinitely many digits to the right of the decimal point. It must contain at least one digit to the left, and if it contains more than one digit to the left, then the leftmost digit must be nonzero. It may or may not be preceded by a minus sign. The "pseudo zero" is the string 0.000…, the "pseudo one" is the string 1.000…, and so on. Now, left in a wilderness without any formal definition to the contrary, I believe most people (implicitly) take these pseudo-reals as their model of the reals. After all, we never give them any alternative! So people are entirely justified, after K-12 math, in thinking that 0.999…≠1. But this system of formal decimal strings is not the real numbers.
The reason we don't use formal strings of digits as our definition of the reals is because these strings have the very bad property that two non-equal numbers can have difference zero. For example, the difference 1-0.999… is zero, because if you begin formally doing the subtraction, every digit ends up being zero. This is a rather nasty property and it prevents all sorts of nice behavior that we'd like our number system to have. This is why mathematicians don't take these formal strings as our definition of the reals, and thus why 0.999… can end up being equal to 1.
So what are the real numbers? There are many different ways to define them. There are Dedekind cuts and there are equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences, but these are both somewhat unnatural. One way of defining the reals is to take the pseudo reals I defined above, those formal strings of decimals, and forcefully declare that the ones we want equal are equal: thus, we declare that 0.9999… is the same as 1.000… and that -783.65999… is equal to -783.66000…. and so on. Again, the reason we do this is because we abhor the situation of two different numbers having zero difference, so we basically cheat by saying that if they'd have zero difference, then we declare them equal.
The construction is made formal using equivalence classes. Basically, the string "1.0000…" is not a number, but instead, the set {"1.0000…","0.9999…"} is a number, and when we write "1.0000…" (or when we write "0.9999…"), we really mean this set. Some numbers, then, are sets of two strings, and others, like {"0.555…"}, are sets of one string, because there are no other ways to write 0.555… Formally defining the arithmetic and the order on these sets is a real pain. Most mathematicians brush everything under the rug and act as if we were using the more intuitive pseudo-reals, except that whenever something like 0.999… pops up, we remind ourselves that that's the same as 1.
The stock answer to the question, "Why is 0.999… equal to 1?", usually involves the fact that the infinite sum 9/10+9/100+… converges to 1. This is entirely unsatisfactory. The formal definition of what it means for an infinite sum to converge, involves differences: namely, for every ε>0, there exists an N so big that whenever M>N, if we add up the first M terms of the sum 9/10+9/100+…, then the result differs from 1 by less than ε. The whole problem with pseudo-real numbers, that is, formal strings of digits, is that differences misbehave. Using the official definition of convergence of an infinite sum, working with pseudo-reals, we get the unsavory fact that 9/10+9/100+… actually converges to both 1 and 0.999…, even though both of these are different (as pseudo-reals). Thus, if a student is (implicitly or explicitly) using formal strings of digits as their model of the reals, then the infinite sum explanation only creates further confusion.
Another stock answer goes like this. If X=0.999…, then 10X=9.999…, and so 10X-X=9. By the distributive law, (10-1)X=9, so 9X=9. And this means X=1, since 1 is the only thing which, multiplying 9, makes 9. But hold on a second. If we formally use the multiplication algorithm to multiply 9 by 0.999…, the result comes out to 8.999…, which, in the pseudo-reals, is not the same as 9. What went wrong in our analysis? The culprit was the distributive law. Subtraction (and hence all arithmetic) is so badly-behaved in the pseudo-reals, that the distributive law breaks. It's true that 10X-X=9, but this does not imply that (10-1)X=9. Instead, it equals 8.999… If only 8.999… were equal to 9 (as it is in the real numbers), then the argument would work, but it isn't, not in the pseudo-reals. That would be circular reasoning.
To summarize: The real question is not why 0.9999…=1, but rather, what on earth are real numbers in the first place? There is one tempting answer, according to which, 0.9999… is actually not equal to 1. But this answer is nonstandard because it creates real numbers with very badly behaved subtraction. To avoid the problems with bad subtraction, mathematicians basically throw up their hands and declare that 0.9999…=1, though they cloak this with fancy-sounding words like "equivalence class" and "equivalence relation" (or they avoid it altogether using more sophisticated methods of defining the reals).

The former Brat Packer on life before and after addiction
I am sitting next to the beautiful Rob Lowe. And by beautiful I mean BEAUTIFUL. We are about to have a beach-front breakfast in Santa Barbara, California. He gets up from opposite to sit beside me on the banquette and leans in close. I don't demur.
At 49, still with a surfer's body, Lowe is tallish, slim, angular, strong. He is wearing a faded T-shirt and the skin on his lean and muscular arms is a burnished brown; it has seen so much sun it is dusted in what looks like foam from the sea. His hair is tousled, shortish,

By Spc. Ryan Stroud, 59th Ordnance BdeApril 30, 2009
They are our leaders and teachers. They are the first to arrive to work and the last to leave. They are the best at what they do. And for this quarter, they met at Redstone to see who would become the Non-Commissioned Officer of the Quarter.
Four of 59th Ordnance Brigade's best NCOs across the Army battled April 16-17 to see who would take home this quarter's top honor. In the two days, these NCOs were pushed and weathered. They were tested on their leadership skill, basic Soldier skills, marksmanship, simulation training and fitness.
Staff Sgt. Scottie Williams, advanced individual training platoon sergeant with B Company, 73rd Ordnance Battalion, and Staff Sgt. Elizabeth Orozco, EOD instructor with 59th, were the top finalists. After the formal board competition, Williams was announced the winner.
"I feel great right now," joked Williams after winning the competition. "The entire event was challenging and full of great competitors. The NCOs in this competition, they really push you do be your best. One minute you think you're out, and they push you back in. Everyone challenged each other and we really had a great competition because of that."
"I did all right. I'm the runner-up, so that's pretty good," said the slightly disappointed Orozco. She will represent 59th during the post competition in the next few months.
The competition began bright and early on the 16th with the NCOs' first task, the EST 2000. After they completed their mission, they went on to the next few events, testing the mind and body of each competitor.
"We went over basic marksmanship and land navigation," Williams said. "And after your body is completely sore, you take a (physical training) test and a written exam, followed by a formal board with the respective sergeants major of our units. It was tough the whole way through."
"I thought the hardest part of this competition was the board and the PT test," Orozco said. "The questions for the board were different and the sergeants major on the board took the time to see who we were and questioned us on our positions, which made things interesting."
When competing against the best NCOs of 59th, the Soldiers had to go above and beyond to study for these tasks.
"I drilled my chain-of-command for as much information and insight that they could give me and studied everything that I could," Orozco said.
"I had my Soldiers quiz me, other platoon sergeants quiz me, and anyone who would stop by, I would hand them my book and say, 'hey, throw me a question,'" Williams said. "It was constant training and studying."
As the new NCO of the Quarter, Williams will head back to his unit at Fort Gordon, Ga., as a hero to his Soldiers.
"By going back to (my company as the NCO of the Quarter winner), it shows my Soldiers you should always try to be better than the next person," he said. "We have great leaders before us, but we must strive to accomplish what they did and even more. This shows my Soldiers that even at my rank, you never stop learning and achieving in the Army. The best thing I have taken from this competition is the knowledge to say you can accomplish anything you put your mind to and hard work pays off. You can achieve anything in the Army with hard work."
Orozco agreed with Williams. "This shows our Soldiers that we are just like them," Orozco said. "We have to go to boards and we get drilled just as much as they do. But this also shows them we are leading by example and anyone can prevail."
As for now, Williams and Orozco will return to their jobs and begin studying for the next competition. They both admit it is tiring, but worth the efforts.
"The most challenging part of these past few days was going through all the tasks and trying to be on top of them all," Williams said. "Knowing the person right beside you wasn't slowing down one bit, it kept your head in the game. There's so much going on, it get a little crazy and very exhausting, but well worth it."

Spa Marketing: Creating a Kid-Friendly Environment
Are you seeking to cater to a younger clientele? Check out these bright ideas!
Although, some may argue that a spa is no place for children, there's a good chance you have clients that would like the option of bringing their little ones along on their spa days.
Now, being kid-friendly may not be the right move for your business. However, if it's something you'd like to consider, here's a few ideas to help make your business accessible to some younger clientele.
• Consider kid services. Manicures, pedicures, haircuts and even facials are some services offered to children at a number of spas. Some services even allow kids the chance to make their own lotions and sugar scrubs!
• Offer treatments for teens. The teenage years can be quite awkward and stressful, so offer treatments that would appeal to them, such as make-up application or a fun manicure.
• Provide child care. Consider partnering with a local babysitter/child care facility to offer child care services for parents who wish to take some "me" time at your spa.

Camille Paglia Takes On Lady Gaga As MTV VMAs Gear Up
Essayist and provocateur Camille Paglia took some shots at entertainer and provocateur Lady Gaga in the Sunday Times today. Her essay is titled "What's Sex Got To Do With It?" and carries this subhead: "Her fans see Lady Gaga as an erotic icon and a breaker of taboos, but Camille Paglia, America's foremost cultural critic, argues that she is an asexual, confected copycat who has seduced the internet generation." The essay has already been picked up on the Drudge Report and elsewhere.
"Can it be that Gaga represents the exhausted end of the sexual revolution?" Paglia writes. "In Gaga's manic miming of persona after persona, over-conceptualised and claustrophobic, we may have reached the limit of an era."
Paglia's attempted takedown of Gaga–in which she call her a "manufactured personality"–comes out right before the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, where the singer is up for a number of top awards tonight.

Shaun Yu, interim co-manager of Classical 88.1 WDPR in Dayton, Ohio, has been appointed president and c.e.o. by the station's board of directors.
Yu succeeds former President Georgie Woessner, who retired in June. During the leadership transition he has been co-managing WDPR with a station volunteer who is also a board member.
"It is my honor to lead this organization, which is rooted so firmly in Dayton," Yu said in a prepared statement. "The fact that we can boast of a full-time classical music station speaks of the extraordinary support of this community."
Search committee chairwoman and WDPR board member, Linda Menz, said 30 candidates were considered for the position.
Yu joined WDPR in 2007 as the station's first program director. Prior to that he served morning host/producer at the former KBPS in Portland, Oregon, which now broadcasts under the call letters KQAC.
Yu's appointment coincided with the conclusion of WDPR's fall pledge drive, which raised a record $133,000.
