Sequels can be risky because some people want unique and innovative changes, while others want the game to stay close to its roots. StarCraft 2 manages to walk that fine line nicely, bringing the franchise into the 21st century graphically and improving the interface while still offering similar core gameplay to the original. The competition on Battle.net is fierce and there are a wealth of multiplayer maps to choose from. Blizzard continues to tweak the faction balance, but you'd have a hard time finding a more finely crafted and beautifully presented RTS game.
Often referred to as one of the best PC games of 2006, Company of Heroes ties real-time strategy to a WWII setting with great results. The graphics are spectacular, the different factions are finely tuned, and the game allows you to make effective use of the terrain. The Gold Edition includes Opposing Fronts, the first expansion, which adds the British 2nd Army and the German Panzer Elite to the fray. You may also want to consider Company of Heroes Online, which is currently in beta and doesn't include any of the expansions, but it is available for free.

This game is the third iteration of Blizzard's award-winning Warcraft real-time strategy series. Although it was released in 2002, it's still one of the most widely played RTS games both online and in pro competitions. The Battle Chest version includes the original, Reign of Chaos, and the first expansion, Frozen Throne. The game brings a number of roleplaying elements to the series as well as expanded multiplayer options for up to 12 players over Battle.net.

The original Dawn of War was a big hit with multiplayer RTS fans, but this didn't keep Relic from taking some chances in the sequel, Dawn of War II. Building bases has been dispensed with and replaced with RPG elements that allow you to highly customize certain units. The emphasis is on the tactical side of the battle rather than on resource gathering and base construction. You also have far fewer units at your disposal, so you have to deploy them wisely. Like World in Conflict, it's a different approach to RTS gameplay that won't appeal to everyone, and it's also a significant departure from the first Dawn of War.

Described as the spiritual successor to Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander manages to scale up the RTS experience a few notches. The game supports an astounding number and variety of units, and the tech tree is similarly vast. A unique camera interface allows you zoom out to a tactical map that gives you a broad overview of the conflict. The maps can get truly enormous, resulting in battles that often go on for many hours. The Gold Edition includes the original game and the Forged Alliance expansion.
Although R.U.S.E. uses an ever-familiar WWII setting, it brings some fresh ideas to RTS. The scale is impressive, with large maps that let you zoom out to a broad strategic view of the entire theater of war. Players have special abilities called "ruses," which can be deployed under the right circumstances to deceive or outsmart the enemy. You might create a distraction with decoys, or use terror to diminish your opponent's morale. The player base isn't that large yet, but the consensus seems to be that multiplayer R.U.S.E. is more fun than the single-player campaign.
Based on an alternate history of the Cold War, World in Conflict is a fast-paced RTS where NATO and Soviet forces battle over the west coast of America. In a fresh approach, they've forgone base-building completely, and you control a very limited number of units compared to most games of this kind, but this gives it a strong tactical component. Multiplayer features different player "classes," and requires a great deal of team coordination.

Best Way has released several ambitious WWII RTS games, and Men of War was added to the mix in 2009. Like their earlier games, they aim for a high degree of realism, and they forego the usual simplistic base-building system. Instead, attention is given to parts of battle that are often ignored in games of this kind, such as supplies of ammunition and fuel. Men of War also lets you take complete control of individual units, which makes tank engagements that much more fun. The production values are laughable at times, but the game has a good selection of multiplayer modes, including co-op. Some people miss the option include enemy AI in skirmishes, which can make finding a suitable match more difficult.
Going back to its roots, Command & Conquer 3 revives the epic conflict between the Global Defense Initiative and the Brotherhood of Nod. There's a third side called the Scrin in the fray now, but you'll remember the Mammoth tanks and ion cannons from earlier games in the series. C&C3 has a good selection of multiplayer maps and Battlecast functionality, which makes spectating games very easy. It was much better received that the sequel, Command & Conquer 4.
Taking a step back from the enormous maps and heavy resource management of the original, Supreme Commander 2 created a split in the franchise's fan base. Some lamented that the tremendous scale and complexity of the first game was diminished, while others applaud the increased emphasis on combat and shorter matches. In many respects Supreme Commander 2 follows other recent offerings in the genre, If you were hoping for something even more massive than the first game, you'll be disappointed, but if you prefer a more streamlined approach, SupCom 2 is a solid offering.
Dawn of War is a combination of fantasy and science fiction based on the famous Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game, beautifully rendered in 3D. There is a solid mix of units and none of the playable races have been given an overwhelming advantage. It is a nicely polished game with an active community, and Relic has released a steady stream of expansions for the title, including Winter Assault, Dark Crusade, and most recently, Soulstorm. The Platinum Edition comes with the Winter Assault and Dark Crusade expansions.
This is a classic 2D sci-fi RTS from Blizzard which still has a large and very devoted following. You play as one of three different species, each with their own unique units and special powers, in an effort to overpower your opponents. Although it has been overshadowed by the release of StarCraft 2, the original remains one of the most popular RTS games played in video game competitions, especially in Korea. The Battle Chest version includes the Brood War expansion, and it supports up to 8 players over Battle.net.

The Red Alert series, with their twisted alternate timelines, are perhaps the quirkiest games in the Command & Conquer franchise, which has never really aspired to any sort of realism. Red Alert 3 features a wealth of outlandish units, including war bears, shrink beams, mini-subs, and sci-fi ninjas. It also has a considerable amount of naval combat, and the single-player campaign accommodates co-op play quite nicely. Voice chat is built-in, and you can skirmish with up to 6 players online.

For space strategy on a large scale, the often overlooked Sins of a Solar Empire has a lot of appeal. It is real-time, but the pace is very leisurely, allowing you to control numerous fleets of ships quite easily. Matchmaking for multiplayer is done through Ironclad Online, supporting up to 10 players (5 vs. 5). Multiplayer matches can take a long time on the larger maps, but they can be saved and played over several sessions.

Developed by Ensemble Studios, which was disbanded in 2009, Age of Empires is an iconic series in the RTS genre. The games have a historical basis, with players adopting the role of a civilization and trying to overpower their opponents. Age of Empires 3 was released in 2005, followed by The WarChiefs expansion in 2006 and The Asian Dynasties expansion in 2007, all of which are included in the Complete Collection. It's the most graphically current game in the series, and features online or LAN play using a utility bundled with the game.

I have stayed here twice on different wine tasting trips and enjoyed each time. The rooms are spacious and clean. It was very quiet-- we never heard other guests at all. The breakfast was pretty good. I enjoy this location since we are coming from Seattle. It is nice to drive out to Red Mountain and Prosser on the first day, stay the night here in Sunnyside, and head west to Zillah and Yakima the second day. We did have a hard time finding a decent restaurant fir dinner close by though.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - July 2, 1995, New Braunfels, Texas Sports DayHteraJckZejti^^Local golf team wins Eagle Tournament at Landa links From submitted repats The local team of James Gaffney, Bill Adkins, Al Heinemeyer and Irene McCabe fired a 10-under par 62 this week to take first place in the Fraternal Order of Eagles Scramble Golf Tournament at Landa Park Golf Course in New Braunfels. Scoring a respectable 9-under par 63, the team of Swede Kjellberg, Bruce Alves, Ervin Balusek and Marian Fox won the second place prize. Two teams tied for the third and fourth place prizes, with each four-person team scoring 8-under par 64. The first team was Glen Case, Jack Yeamans, Ski Haneiwich, and Clifton Schrader, and the other group was Pat Acheson, Ray Metzke, Norris Head and Marleen Acheson. Calvin Waltmanll donated a putter which was offered as a prize for nearest the 12th hole on the first stroke. Bruce Alves won the prize for nearest the 12th hole, and Bob McCabe won the prize for nearest the 15th hole. A total of 45 players participated in the tournament. The next tournament is scheduled for July 25. For more information on the event, call Charlie Smith at 625-8104. North Zone champs Austin bid for Triple-A baseball hits slow pace Submitted photo The New Braunfels American Little League All-Stars completed a dramatic tournament run, finishing as the North Zone Champions in the 10-year-old boys division. The team members are: (front, left to right) Chad Gregson, Ricky Euresti, Chris Hailey, Peter Ungamfelter, Michael Garrott, Zeb Vieknair (middle) Jimmy Rodrigues, Matt Schulke, Justin Delgado, Tim Hildebrand, Jimmy Quiroz, Jory Werth, (back) Bill Gregson, Michael Garrott (manager) and Jimmy Quiroz.Runners donation Submitted photo The New Braunfels Running Club donated $1,500 to Hospice New Braunfels. The money was raised from an open auction at the Schlitterbahn Three Parks Run earlier this month. Pictured from left to right are Jack Melton, Steve Taylor, Diane Pepin, Christina Smith, Dana Overstreet, Elaine Craig, Susan Phillips and Marilyn Buckner. By CHIP BROWN Associated Press Writer AUSTIN (AP) — Officials with the Triple-A Phoenix Firebirds say that efforts to move the baseball team to Austin — by selling enough charter seat options at roughly $3,000 apiece — are going slower than expected. 'There's been a slow start and there is cause for concern in how we are going to approach the next two or three months," Firebirds' General Manager Craig Pletenik said Friday. "But I don't think that it's at a critical stage. We just need to do a better job of informing people how close this project really is to becoming a reality." The team is trying to sell 4,000 charter seat options to raise $12 million for a state-of-the-art, 12,000-seat stadium that would double as a music venue. The city has agreed to pitch in $10 million for the project over the objections of some residents who wanted a public vote on the matter. Team officials estimate that roughly 300 options had been sold since going on sale a month ago. The options, which range in price from $2,500 to $6,000, give buyers the right to select seats for the team's 72 home games and music events over the next 15 years. The packages don't include the cost of tickets. Pletenik said the team is committed to moving to Austin after the 1996 season and must improve its marketing of seat options to meet a Sept. I deadline. "We have to work harder," Pletenik said. "We are going to expand our staff locally and accelerate some things, such as naming corporate sponsors and building partners." Pletenik said the fact that the Pacific Coast League and the Firebirds' parent club, the San Francisco Giants, have approved the team's move to Austin are significant steps. "We have spent a lot of time and money on Austin," he said. 'Thwi'i been rn slow stark and there is cause for concern in how we ave going to approach the next two or three months."— Firebirds' General Manager Craig Pletenik "We don't want it to end in September. We want it to continue." There are two options if the team fails to sell the 4,000 charter seat options. It would look for sponsors to finance portions of the stadium, such as the scoreboard, or reduce some of the seating to lower the stadium's price tag from $22 million to $20 million or $18 million, Pletenik said. The minimum standard for a Triple-A stadium is 10,000 seats, Pletenik said.Murray joins elite 3,000 club By JEFFREY SHELMAN Associated Press Writer MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Eddie Murray became just the second switch-hitter and only the 20th player in baseball history to reach 3,000 hits when he singled in the sixth inning Friday night. Murray joined Pete Rose, the career hits leader with 4,256, as the lone switch-hitters to reach 3,000. He made it to the mark by grounding a single through the right side for the Cleveland Indians off Mike Trombley. Murray, who got his 2,999th hit Thursday night but went hitless in his last four at-bats of the game, drew a walk from Trombley in the second inning and flied out in the fourth. After his historic hit, Murray, 39, shook hands with Cleveland first base coach Dave Nelson and Minnesota Twins first baseman Scott Stahoviak. They were then joined by the rest of the Indians, led by Dave Winfield, who later took pictures from the dugout with a camera. Winfield was the last player to reach 3,000 hits, doing it on Sept. 16,1993 — also al the Metrodome — while with Minnesota. Murray and Winfield are the first teammates with 3,000 hits since Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker and Eddie Collins all played for the 1928 Philadelphia Athletics. While the crowd stood and cheered, a series of Murray's career highlights played on the Metrodome scoreboard. Murray, who rarely shows any emotion on the field, smiled as he raised both hands over his head twice to acknowledge the ovation. Murray does not speak to the media often, and held no major news conferences leading up to the event. He said he would hold one, however, following the game in which he got his 3,000th hit. All eligible players with 3,000 hits are in the Hall of Fame. Rose has been banned from consideration, while Winfield, George Brett and Robin Yount have not been retired for the mandatory five years. Next up in the chase for 3,000 are Florida's Andre Dawson, who began the day with 2,723 hits, and Toronto's Paul Molitor, who had 2,690. Before Winfield, Brett and Yount were the most recent to reach 3,000, both in 1992. Murray has 2,045 hits left-handed and 955 right-handed during his career with Baltimore, Los Angeles, the New York Mels and Cleveland.Rodman juror seeks autograph ATLANTA (AP) — One of the jurors who ruled in favor of Dennis Rodman in his herpes trial had been oblivious to his star status — but that didn't stop her from getting his autograph anyway. "I'd never heard of him. I turned to the person next to me and said, 'Is he an athlete?'" said Gail Spence, of Lawrenceville, one of several jurors who approached the NBA star outside the courthouse for his autograph Fri day. "My boyfriend knew I was on the case and he begged and pleaded for an autograph," she said. A U.S. District Court jury ruled in favor of Rodman in a suit brought by Lisa Beth Judd, who was seeking $1.83 million in damages. Jurors deliberated less than four hours after four days of testimony. Rodman, looking relieved as he stood outside of federal court called the case "a sad situation" and said it made for a very stressful year. Oilers 'Air' McNair stays with collegiate moniker HOUSTON (AP) — Steve "Air" McNair can keep the rights to his nickname, according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The government agency has nixed an application from three employees of a San Diego television station wanting to capitalize commercially on the nickname "Air McNair." The rookie Houston Oilers quarterback received word Thursday. McNair was out of town Friday and not immediately available for comment. The patent office's ruling said the nickname was too closely associated with McNair's name and that any commercial use is prohibited without his written consent. And with that, it was back to the drawing board for KGTV-TV sports anchor Bill Griffith, producer Chris Pheil and former intern Kevin Negley, who paid a non-refundable $245 application fee. "We're not disappointed," Griffith said. "All along, our feeling was lo throw this thing up in the air and see if it sticks. This time, it didn't work, but we sure learned a lot about the process." Trademark applications typically are granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Legal names of living individuals are considered off-limits unless written consent is given. There are no specific guidelines regarding nicknames, so the department handles each application on a case-by-case basis. Milwaukee Bucks forward Glenn Robinson is involved in a legal dispute with a California-based sport-ing-goods company named "Big Dog," which is also Robinson's nickname. Griffith, Pheil and Negley applied for the trademark without the consent or knowledge of McNair and his Mississippi-based agent James "Bus" Cook. McNair was outraged when informed about the application earlier this month, saying it was a shame that someone would try to make money off another man's name. Cook said all along he never felt McNair was in danger of losing exclusive rights to the nickname. NB Rotary golf tournament benefits little league From staff reports The New Braunfels American Little League was the big winner in the fourth annual Civic Club Challenge held recently- The tournament, sponsored by Wuest's Supermarkets and Pic'nPac, was a project of the Downtown Rotary Club of New Braunfels. "Our scramble event is somewhat different than others," said Greg Campbell, tournament director. "Each person that entered competed for cash prizes to be given to the charity or civic organization of their choice." This year's tournament generated more than $20,000, with IO area civic clubs sharing the prize money. Thanks to the golfing skills of the first-place team of Trim Camareno, Ken Wamble, Paul Wendell and Clay Sulte-meier, the New Braunfels American Little league received $3,000. The Monsignor Steubben Scholarship Fund of San Antonio received $2,000 as runner-up. Finishing third was the Comal Independent Men's Association represented by Todd McGure, Johnnie Rodriguez, Jesse Sanchez and Armando Garcia. CIMA received $1,000. Among the other winners was Our Lady of Guadalupe Church of Seguin and Hospice-New Braunfels. Campbell noted that this year's tournament, which was held at the Chaparral Country Club in Seguin, was the biggest Submitted photo The Downtown Rotary Club of New Braunfels recently hosted its fourth annual Civic Club Golf Challenge benefiting the local American Little League with a $3,000 check as a first-place prize. Pictured (left to right) are Greg Campbell, tournament director; Marvin Morris, past president of the club; and Carroll Coleman, vice president of the American Little League. tournament to date for the Downtown Rotary Club. "We had a full-fleld of 32 team and, in fact, had to turn away several teams who wanted to enter," Campbell said. "Our club is privileged to have a generous partner like Wuest's Supermarkets for the event. Without Wuest's and key suppliers such as Coca Cola, Borden's, Fleming Foods and Rainbo, we could not raise anywhere near the $20,000 plus that was raised this year," Campbell said. "We all owe these companies a debt of gratitude," he added. Campbell also credited Don Maxwell Chevrolet/GEO, providers of a 1995 Chevrolet Suburb...!, for a hole-in-one on Chaparral's 3-par 15th hole. Although several golfers came very close, nobody claimed the big prize. "Our club is very appreciative that so many area golfers gave their time and money in support of our fund-raising event," Campbell said. "We look forward to another successful tournament next year." Murray also has 469 home runs, placing him 18th on the career list. The first baseman-designated hitter could someday join Hank Aaron and Willie Mays are the only players to have 3,000 hits and 500 home runs. Though he has never won a batting title nor led the majors in either home runs or RBIs in a full season, Murray has been extremely consistent since breaking into the big leagues in 1977. He has had more than 75 RBIs in every season he's played, plus at least 147 hits in each season that was not interrupted by a labor dispute. Sports Briefs WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Canadian-bom Greg Rusedski, now a Bntish citizen, won his third straight match, beating Olivier Delaitre 6-7 (8-6), 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3) in 106 1/2-degree heat — the hottest day ever recorded at Wimbledon. Rusedski will next face two-time defending champion Pete Sampras, who beat Jared Palmer 4-6,6-4, 6-1,6-2. Fourth-seeded Goran Ivanisevic beat Amaud Boctsch 6-4, 6-4,6-4, and will meet Todd Martin, who rallied from a break down to beat fellow American Derrick Rostagno 6-3,4-6,4-6, 6-2,6-4. Winners for the women included defending champ Conchila Martinez, second-seeded Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, and No. 8 Gabriela Sabatini. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Eddie Murray became just the second switch-hitter and only the 20th player in baseball history to reach 3,000 hits when he singled in the sixth inning against Minnesota. Murray, 39, joined Pete Rose, the career hits leader with 4,256, as the lone switch-hitters to reach 3,000. He made it to the mark by grounding a single through the right side for the Cleveland Indians off Mike Trombley. Murray began his career with Baltimore in 1977. NEW YORK (AP) — The baseball season will begin in March next year, the earliest start ever. The season will start March 31, a Sunday night, with the Chicago While Sox playing the Seattle Manners in the Kingdome, a game to be telecast by ESPN. Most other teams will start play the following day. Baseball officials moved up the start by a week in order to avoid playing World Series games in November next year. If next season was scheduled to start a week later — Apnl 7 — Game 7 of the World Series would have been scheduled for Nov. 3. By starling March 31, the seventh game will be scheduled for Oct. 27. NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA locked out its players at 12:01 a m. today, the first work stoppage in league history. The no-lockout, no-strike deal agreed to by the league and its players' association last Oct. 27 expired at midnight. It was the third work stoppage to affect major league sports in the last 12 months. Baseball players went on stnke last Aug. 12, and NHL owners locked out their players Sept. 30, forcing a delay in the season. BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — Tom Weiskopf sIkx his second straight 3-under-par 69 and shared the lead with Tommy Aaron after two rounds of the U.S. Senior Open. Bob Murphy, Dave Stockton! and Graham Marsh all shot 70s and were one stroke back. ;

text: I tuned in to the ASU-Cal game to check out Burfict, but instead QB Brock Osweiler is stealing the show. He's listed at 6'8" 240lbs. He is athletic and has a sniper arm. Deadly accurate so far tonight everywhere; short, long, from sideline to sideline. He threw 1 INT to a CB that dropped into zone coverage that he didn't see, but other than that he has looked like a stud. He is only a JR, but I would be all for us taking him in the 1st if he comes out.

Atmospheric conditions at different scales in space and time strongly influence a wide range of biological processes: from short-term atmospheric conditions, especially in the lowest troposphere (Stull 1988), described collectively as weather, to longer-term average conditions (i.e. climate). For instance, the sex of some reptilian species' offspring is temperature-dependent (Janzen 1994); humidity influences the rate of dehydration and therefore the level of activity in most amphibians (Shoemaker & Nagy 1977); low temperatures and storms can influence avian reproduction (Wingfield 1984); and atmospheric conditions are drivers of migration and long-distance transport in numerous taxa (Drake & Farrow 1988; Dingle 1996; Nathan 2005; Newton 2008). Recent trends in atmospheric conditions, for example rising temperatures and oscillations in pressure systems (e.g. North Atlantic Oscillation), have profound effects on marine and terrestrial ecosystems (e.g. Hughes 2000; Ottersen et al. 2001; Walther et al. 2002; Parmesan 2006). The connection between climate and biology cannot be overstated, as a species' ability to inhabit a particular geographic range is largely determined by the area's climate (MacArthur 1972; Guisan & Zimmermann 2000; Tarroso & Rebelo 2010). Within the past century, climate change has influenced the geographical ranges and abundance of numerous species (Parmesan & Yohe 2003; Root et al. 2003), in some cases leading to population and species extinctions (Pounds, Fogden, & Campbell 1999; Parmesan 2006).
Clearly, this intimate relationship between short- and long-term atmospheric conditions and biological systems demonstrates the need to incorporate atmospheric data in ecological studies. A large amount of atmospheric data, stored in diverse formats, can be accessed through various Internet portals (Shamoun-Baranes, Bouten, & van Loon 2010); however, not all data are freely available. The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Reanalysis data set (Kalnay et al. 1996), hereafter called R-1, and NCEP/Department of Energy (DOE) Reanalysis II data set (Kanamitsu et al. 2002), hereafter called R-2, are high-quality, well-documented, freely available data sets with global coverage of numerous atmospheric variables. In recent years, these NCEP data sets have been increasingly used in ecological research including studies of phenology (e.g. Chmielewski & Rötzer 2002; Cook, Smith, & Mann 2005), land cover and atmospheric interaction (e.g. Lawton et al. 2001; Marengo et al. 2008), and bird migration (e.g. Kemp et al. 2010; Shamoun-Baranes, Bouten, & van Loon 2010 and references therein). NCEP data can be accessed via ftp where users can download a full year of data, a web service where users can select a temporally and spatially continuous subset of data, or queried directly from the Internet using the Open-source Project for a network Data Access Protocol (OPenDAP; Sgouros 2004). In all cases, NCEP data are stored in the netCDF data format (a well-documented binary format for storing array-oriented scientific data; Rew et al. 2010) and the user needs to extract the data using specially developed software tools.
To facilitate the extraction, organisation, aggregation and visualisation of NCEP R-1 and R-2 data, we have developed the RNCEP package of functions in the R language for statistical computing and graphics (R Development Core Team 2010). R is a freely available open-source computing environment that is highly extendable and can be run on multiple platforms. R is extensively used in ecological research with tools tailored to the ecological community (e.g. Calenge 2006; Kneib & Petzoldt 2007). This article describes the functionality of the RNCEP package.

This is the request for help from 'Natalie', who is at her wits end, because her boyfriend - once her knight in shining armour - now frequently changes his mind about what he really wants.
Roger absolutely swept me off my feet, he was amazing... not like anyone I had ever dated before. Caring, out going, FUN, compassionate, he really took the time to break through my security walls and get to know the real me. He treated me like a princess, made me feel secure, special, truly loved. I GLOWED with passion and happiness.
My name is Natalie, I'm 26 and Roger is 28. We been dating now for two and a half years and 8 months ago we bought a house.
In my past relationships/break-ups I never really taken the time in between to heal and figure out what I really wanted or needed in a relationship. When I met Robert I was single for almost a year and a half having taken my mother's advice to have some ME TIME!
Throughout this time I got to know a lot about him as well as the women of his past, who literally needed him (and one was violent towards him). They had no job, money, place to live, nor a car. One was called Renee - they were together on and off for two years.
He decided he didn't want that anymore and found me, I am the exact opposite of that. I take care of my self.
Throughout the first 6 months of our relationship he fed me with nothing but negative things about Renee. He wanted nothing to do with her, he hated her, never wanted to talk to her. Then one day that all started changing, he wanted to spend time with her… just like "hang out" at the bar, get lunch. This made me extremely uncomfortable.
One night when I had to work early I stayed home while he went out... he neglected to tell me he was meeting up with Renee. He spend the whole night at the bar with her. I also found pictures and texts of other women.
He has stopped being my prince charming, and was just blah towards me. Now the majority of his attention now goes towards other girls… nothing every physical, but more emotional and verbal. It's like he doesn't understand that relationships have boundaries.
Now we are going through the some what of same 'boundaries' issues. All of a sudden he's telling me that he has commitment issues and that he gets "bored" with relationships easy. Not that I'm boring, but that he gets bored. He says he realises that he neglects me as his girlfriend, that he wants to treat me the way I deserve to be treated. He understands that our issues are him because these same issues arise in every relationship.
I love this man but I am at my wits end. We can't sell the house because we just bought it... and he refuses to move out even though everything in the house is mine. We have been broken up for a little less then 2 months now and living together!
He suggested that we remain "roommates" It's like wants to have his cake and eat it. Since we have been broken up he has started being more of the man I fell in love with and he claims that's because he doesn't have the stresses of our relationship, that he doesn't feel obligated to me or trapped.
A few weeks ago we talked and now he wants to try and "start over/rebuild" our relationship. He tells me that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me, that he's happy with me, that I'm good to him. Now he tells me that sometimes he wants a girlfriend and other times he doesn't. I'm not a bad girlfriend, I'm not clingy, possessive, controlling, I'm super easy-going and have a lot going for my self.
I don't know what to do... and it sucks, because i'm a fixer. HELP!!!! =( Do you think it's worth it to try a counsellor? Or I should I cut ties...i I'm torn on what to do... I love him, but I deserve and want better.
Natalie, I am sorry to know that you have been so hurt. It sounds like you feel torn between what your heart tells you and what your head tells you. That can be such a tricky situation.
We can look for all kinds of reasons as to why Robert is acting in that way and what that means, but that isn't going to change the situation. Neither do you or I have any real influence over him. And I suspect that is what really bugs you, because as you say - you are a 'fixer'.
So, where do we start? I think your idea of getting some counseling for yourself is great. However, you need to want it for yourself, not for wanting to hear from someone else how you could change in Robert.
You'll only get the most out of the counselling when you deal with questions that relate to you. What led to you getting caught up with a man who is not 'emotionally available'? What happened in your previous relationships? How and why did they end? Why did you not take any "me-time" before? What causes you to want to be a "fixer"?
I know that is not going to solve your present predicament - living in the same house with a man you feel you love, but who cannot commit. There is no easy answer to that and unlikely an 'ideal solution' under the present circumstances - certainly not one that I can begin to address on this page.
You may also find my Relationship Test very useful in figuring out what you value in this relationship, what you need to accept and what you can change yourself. It will help you to consider factors that are important in developing a relationship that works - other that those that occupy your thinking so much at the moment.
I wish you all the very best for your happiness, Natalie.

Originally posted on Football Nation | Last updated 2/27/13
Tuesday morning, the fate of a Rams era began its final countdown as Steven Jackson decided to test the waters of free agency and void the final year of his contract. Jackson, who is turning 30 this year, was slotted to make seven million dollars in his final year as a Ram.Ten years and 10,135 yards later, Jackson has been in two postseason games, both in his rookie year (2004), backing up a man named Marshall Faulk. He is the franchise's all-time leading rusher and has yet to be on a winning team (his lone playoff year STL went 8-8). Now, he is looking to finish his career elsewhere and capture that much deserved championship ring. In the meantime, the Rams have a decision to make in the backfield. There is a possibility that SJ39 could be back if no one wants to sign him to a seven million dollar a year contract, which is likely given his age. The Rams could find a way to deal him a four or five million, three-year deal and have him finish his career out in St. Louis, have his number retired, enter the Ring of Fame, the whole nine yards.Or they let S-Jax walk and give the younger guys a shot at greatness. Second-round draft pick, Isaiah Pead, out of Cincinnati, showed glimpses of brightness in his few carries and handful of kick returns. He averaged over five yards a carry in his career in Cincy and his highlight reel is ridiculous. On the other hand, seventh-rounder, Daryl Richardson, out of Abilene Christian, had a bit more playing time this year, starting off as Jackson's backup and third-down back. Though he seemed to have problems holding on to the ball, he played in all 16 games and averaged almost five yards a carry and seven yards a catch.Finally, you have Terrance Ganaway, acquired last season from the Jets, who never touched the ball last year, works at Jimmy John's during the offseason so that he can make some extra money and stay out of trouble. During his final year at Baylor, he rushed for 1,547 yards on 250 carries (6.2 avg) and 21 touchdowns. Pretty good stats for a guy that only dressed for three NFL games in 2012 and never touched the turf. All three, or four if you count Jackson coming back, are good options for the Rams. They could go the three-headed monster, run-by-committee approach and see which back has what it takes to succeed. It eventually worked for Mike Shanahan in Washington when Alfred Morris appeared out of nowhere this past season. Or you let Pead and Richardson fight it out in the preseason. I would not recommend picking up another running back in the draft. There are three second year guys that are already there to start working and another young mind is not going to help the situation. If anything, trading the Rams' second round pick for a veteran isn't too bad of an idea either. With two first round picks, the Rams could still be in decent shape to fill the holes they need to fill including a wideout and a lineman on both sides of the ball. In any case, Jeff Fisher, general manager Les Snead and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer have their work cut out for them this offseason now that there may be some pretty big shoes to fill.

With 20 minutes played at the Vicente Calderon on Tuesday night, there was just one line of encouragement necessary from Jose Mourinho as Mark Schwarzer fastened his gloves and crossed the touchline. "He [Mourinho] said, 'Listen … belief. Believe in your own ability,'" Schwarzer recalled later. "And that was it. It was a reassurance that he believes and I need to believe and make sure I go out there and play my game."
One clean sheet later, as the last line of a redoubtable Chelsea defensive display against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-final first leg, Schwarzer was trying to suppress his delight that a calculated career gamble might just have paid off handsomely.
At 41, he is the oldest player ever to feature in a Champions League knockout tie, having made his debut in the competition earlier this season against Steaua Bucharest. He made the decision to come to Chelsea in the summer, and accept a role as a No 2 for nights like these, although it took that awkward fall from Petr Cech on 17 minutes to give him his chance.
With Cech now all but out for the rest of the season with a dislocated shoulder, the chance presented to Schwarzer is the one that all reserve goalkeepers secretly hope for, but can never permit themselves to articulate. Speaking on Tuesday in the aftermath of the game, Schwarzer said that his relationship with Cech was strong and that he hoped the injury was not serious, but he could hardly ignore the opportunity that has been presented.
On how he had coped with the reserve goalkeeper's challenge of being in a perpetual state of readiness, without any guarantee of playing, he joked that his entrance from the substitutes' bench had been the classic Superman act: "Did you not see me rip off my pants?
"I actually didn't think it [the injury to Cech] was that serious. I was offering some of the guys some chewing gum at the time. There was a couple of movements of players saying he is signalling to come off. Then the manager was saying, 'Settle down, settle down everyone', and I was just warming up. And then came the realisation that you are going to come on and you just have to get ready and get on.
"I won't deny that there were nerves to begin with. But once you get on the pitch you settle pretty quickly and we dealt with the corner easily in the end. I think from that point onwards I was able to settle into the game quickly."
Schwarzer was a losing finalist in the Uefa Cup with Middlesbrough in 2006, and in its subsequent incarnation as the Europa League, with Fulham four years later when the winners were Atletico. Since joining Chelsea he has retired from international football and will not be in the Australia squad at the World Cup this summer. That decision was made after he was overlooked for two friendlies, a consequence of his lack of game time at Chelsea.
"I am always ready [to play] and it is difficult. For me it has been a new experience and I am not going to deny it has been tough, it has been. I have made a decision and it has been great in a lot of ways, because the experiences I have been able to have being part of the team I wouldn't have experienced anywhere else. You know that somewhere down the line you will get an opportunity if there is an injury or an illness or whatever and this was one of those opportunities again.
"The opportunity to sign for Chelsea and be part of this was too great, in the end. I suppose you could write a book about it one day and say this is how it unfolded. You'd never believe it but it just happens. We are one step closer. We are at half-time in the game. It is 0-0 and we can't underestimate them. They have quality all over the pitch and they can score from anywhere and we need to make sure we play at our best in the return leg."
Schwarzer, who played his first Premier League game for Chelsea last Saturday, with Cech ill, his seventh appearance of the season, has a one-year contract. Another assured performance from Thibaut Courtois for Atletico, coupled with the injury to Cech, once again raises questions over how long the on loan Belgian will be made to wait before returning to his parent club Chelsea as first choice.
"He [Courtois] is a phenomenal talent," Schwarzer said. "He's done extremely well for Atletico and played extremely well for Belgium. This is a massive year for him with the World Cup, title aspirations at Atletico as well as the Champions League. It's a huge, huge year for him and there will be quite a lot of decisions made shortly about people's futures. We'll wait and see. He's a huge talent."

Stocks Finish Higher
Stocks closed higher as hedge funds and speculators covered shorts and adjusted positions for long Thanksgiving holiday weekend, says Standard & Poor's MarketScope.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 53.95 points to 10,820.28. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index was up 7.58 points to 1,241.67. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index gained 14.6 points to 2,233.57.
Crude oil futures rose 49 cents to $57.70 a barrel. Colder weather in the U.S. Northeast supported crude and heating oil prices, though natural gas was pressured by expected weak demand, says Action Economics.
Among stocks on the move, General Motors (GM ) fell after the auto maker announced that it is cutting 30,000 jobs in an aggressive $7 billion cost cutting program. The company also confirmed "significant restructuring charges" along with early retirement costs related to the move, which should ultimately return the auto manufacturer to profitability, but are yet to be disclosed, says Action Economics. It is also aiming to reduce healthcare costs, though the key issue of pension liability remains murky, says Action Economics.
Boeing (BA ) announced three firm orders for 68 of its airplanes plus rights for 24 additional planes from United Arab Emirates, International Lease Finance Corp, and Low-Cost Aircraft Leasing; the deals have total value of about $13.18 billion.
Computer Sciences (CSC ) was down on a report that said Lockheed Martin (LMT ) and three private equity firms had abandoned talks to buy it. Wachovia downgraded the stock to market perform from outperform.
Alamosa Holdings (APCS ) agreed to be acquired by Sprint Nextel (S ) for about $4.3 billion, including about $900 million in debt, or $18.75 per APCS share in cash.
In other deal news, Mentor (MNT ) made a bid to acquire Medicis Pharmaceutical (MRX ) for $2.2 billlion. Medicis rejected the unsolicited proposal and says it "remains committed to completing its proposed merger with Inamed (IMDC )."
The economic calendar is light this week due to the Thanksgiving Day holiday on Thursday. One key release, says Action Economics, will be the FOMC's minutes from the Nov. 1 policy meeting, due out at 2 p.m. EST Tuesday. The markets will be keen to see if there are any hints of an imminent change in the policy statement at the Dec. 13 meeting or in January, says Action Economics.
On Monday, the October leading economic indicators rose 0.9%, a bit stronger than expected.
European stock markets were mostly higher on Monday. London's FTSE-100 index edged slightly lower, while Germany's DAX index and France's CAC-40 index rose. In Asia, the Nikkei 225 index and Hang Seng finished higher.
Treasury Market
Treasury yields fell, after European Central Bank chief Trichet unwound some of his most hawkish remarks from Friday, which had driven both eurozone and U.S. yields higher, says Action Economics. While he said that the bank was still ready to reduce some accommodation, he warned that it would be potentially wrong to interpret his remarks as kicking off a series of rate hikes, says Action Economics. The 10-year yield moved down to 4.45%.

text: I love the atmosphere of Haydees and the service is great. I really want the food to be better! But it's still pretty expensive and the quality is really not good. The margaritas are also not good, they just use the sweet margarita mix. Worth going for just a beer and hanging out for live music or karaoke.

It was a long time ago, but people still say, "We can fly someone to the moon but we can't find a cure for the common cold." Or, they may have some other comparison.
I'd like to add to that, we can't come up with a foolproof lie detector.
Imagine how things would be different if we knew up front who was telling the truth and we knew how big the politicians thought the deficits were really going to be.
Fact checkers watching the debates found that both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump said some things that were either questionable or false or worse.
We don't know how many were outright lies, because we don't know if they always know exactly what is true and what is not.
Like Donald Rumsfeld said, "There are things we know that we know. There are also things that we know we don't know. And, there are also things we don't know that we don't know."
Until we come up with a decent lie detector, one poll in New Hampshire, where they turned an outhouse into a fake voting booth, is collecting votes for three candidates: Hillary, Donald, and Pinocchio.
Let me know what you think.

Please read these Terms of Use carefully before downloading or using the Takumi App
Thank you for downloading the App (as defined below). This document sets forth the terms and conditions that apply to your use of the App and the Documents (as defined below).
The key feature of the App is that it allows you to receive payment from certain brands (Brand Owners) for participating in the Brand Owner's advertising campaigns and posting images on your Instagram account.
The App also allows you to communicate directly with the Brand Owners via the App's messaging service.
The effective date of these Terms of Use is 1st September 2015.
These Terms of Use are a legal agreement between you and us for:
The App is owned by Takumi International Ltd ("Takumi;" "we", "us" and "our", as applicable), a company registered in England and Wales. Our company registration number is 9325188 and our registered office is at 1 St Katharines Way, London, E1W 1UN. Our registered VAT number is 210 670 744. Takumi and its affiliates provide the App and any of the services accessible through the App (Services), including any updates or supplements to the App or any Services, to you (the "user", "you", and "your", as applicable), the user of the App, only for your own personal use and subject to your acceptance of and compliance with: (i) these Terms of Use; and (ii) our Privacy Policy at www.takumi.com/privacy. Please read these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy carefully before downloading or using the App or any Services. By downloading or using the App or any Services, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy which will bind you. If you do not accept these Terms of Use or our Privacy Policy, please do not download or use the App or any Services.
The App and the Services allow you to receive payment from the Brand Owners for participating in the Brand Owner's advertising campaigns and posting certain images on your Instagram account.
You must hold your own valid, live and public Instagram account to participate in the advertising campaigns run by the Brand Owners. Your Instagram account must represent a real person and not a brand, organisation or similar. We reserve the right to deny Instagram accounts from participating in Brand campaigns. Your Instagram account and your use of your Instagram account, the Instagram site or app or any Instagram services will be governed by the terms of use set by Instagram. You must fully comply with those terms at all times.
These Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy do not apply to Instagram or your use of the Instagram site or app or any Instagram services. When you use the Instagram site or app or any Instagram services, you will be bound by Instagram's own terms of use and privacy policy. If you have any concerns, please refer to those documents or contact Instagram directly. We have no control over Instagram and shall have no liability to you for Instagram's acts or omissions.
You acknowledge that Instagram has not endorsed the App or any Services and that Instagram is not responsible for the App or any Services.
When you agree to participate in a Brand Owner's advertising campaign via the App or our Services:
As the contract which governs your participation in the Brand Owner's advertising campaign is between you and the Brand Owner, we shall not be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise for any loss or damage you incur in connection with your participation in the Brand Owner's advertising campaign or as a result of the acts or omissions of the Brand Owner (including, without limitation, the Brand Owner's objection to the images you post on Instagram which results in non-payment to you). If there is an issue with the Brand Owner, your rights are against the Brand Owner.
We will pay you, for your successful participation in the Brand Owner's advertising campaign provided that:
You will be paid the relevant amount for the campaign as specified on the campaign pages within the App. Provided that your image satisfies all of the above criteria, we will pay you the full campaign amount to your Takumi wallet, after the 48 business day hours since you first posted the image on your Instagram account.
You can withdraw funds from your Takumi wallet at any time. Any funds you withdraw will be credited to you by the payment method you select via the App.
You expressly authorize Takumi's service providers, Dwolla, Inc. and Adyen BV, to originate credit transfers to your financial institution account.
The App requires an Apple iPhone 4S or any more recent model, internet access and the iOS 8 operating system.
1. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to revise these Terms of Use at any time. Any changes to these Terms of Use will be included in a revised version of these Terms of Use notified to you through the App. Your use of the App and any related Services following posting of any changes to these Terms of Use constitutes your unconditional acceptance and agreement to be bound by the changed terms. You must cease using the App and the Services if you do not agree to be bound by the revised Terms of Use.

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms of Use to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms of Use. You may only transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use to another person if we agree in writing.
40.
