Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
I see you're asking some of the same questions again that I responded to early this morning. So I guess you either didn't understand or didn't like my answers.
You have added a sentence about how hurt you were when your girlfriend dumped you at the wrong time in life. Then that's your most powerful Attachment Wound, so that's the pain you will need her to empathize with and feel your feelings at that time and many times since then when that memory comes up in you. That's why you needed to hide your pain under the excitement of your new love with a girl who was more into you than you were into her. When you start up a healing relationship, even if it's 6 months after your big breakup with your Great Love, you normally automatically pick someone who is unlikely to ever want to dump you, which means both a person that doesn't really measure up to your ex and also that obviously looks up to you, so this time you've got all the power, and you won't even feel that bad if you do end up dumping her. the regrets,
So here's another idea on why you're reversing the saving of text messages. You're keeping your 21yr old hottie's hatemail because you know inside that she's still in love with you or she wouldn't be fuming so much. And she can't really hurt you that much because she was fun, but you know she wouldn't be what you'd want when you do want to settle down again.
Hello sorry I really didnt understand
And this next part is embarrassing to write, but most of us do lots of nonsensical things when we're spinning around in a breakup like you are. Nonsensical because they're actually serving our primitive and unconscious needs and feelings, even tho our conscious mind and our conscience might not like what we're doing at all. Perhaps that's why you want to understand why you did what you did, both to your ex and to your 21yr old.
Ok so in my idiot terms... let me see if I understand!
I am really in love with my sons mother, but I am so hurt still by her actions that I picked a girl who will never meausre up to her yet will satisfy my physical need. I know that the 21 year old will hang on my every word like a puppet whereas the mother of my son wont put up with my crap.
So here's what your primitive natural mind wanted from the new girl: revenge for what you felt when you got dumped yourself. by dumping her to clean up your act for your ex and both of your families, you did to her what your ex did to you.You keep her angry outbursts because she's lashing out at you in the same way that you lashed out at your ex when you got a chance on the phone.
So my saving of the messages is really that a pat to my ego and the deleting of my sons mothers is a reminder of my screw up
and in the long run, my sons mother is who I would end up with
What do you think?
Oh yeah, you got that first part. and your next revision is also spot on. You also feel like you have to be very nice and very careful with what you say to your ex, because a lot of your dignity and your future are riding on getting back and being able to restart the love you had before.
Got it.
But to be honest I have been an asshat
How do I get my sons mother that I am trying to change
I mean she moved to another state
what do I do
But the problem you have inside, is YOURE STILL HURTING AND RAGING AND CONFUSED INSIDE. That's also why you ask me if you really still love your ex, because you can't feel pure love as long as you're still hurting and angry about the wounds she caused by dumping you and moving away with your son.
Also when my sons mother ask me why I did what I did, I lash out at her
Got it
Wow this helps
How do I get past the hurt, pain, and rage
I'm sorry we keep talking past each other, but that's the way the chat system works, perhaps the Q & A system would be better because it switches slower.
Im sorry as well
but you are really helping me
But here's why you lash out at your ex when she asks you why you did that: You did that for revenge, and you haven't been able to understand that--until now, perhaps. You lash out because she's putting you on the spot, and making you feel like anything you say in response is going to be wrong because she will hate hearing it, so you lash out with the original anger that led you to hide out with the other girl and then get off on dumping her and watching her try to lash out at you. I can imagine you as a taller guy who's got one long arm straightarming against the smaller new girls forehead, so all the flailing fists the swings at you can't even come close to hurting you. That's how you wish you could feel about your ex's disapproval.
Ok in response to your last statement. My sons mother had asked me if I was seeing another girl
When asked I of course lied to her... Why did I not tell her about the truth
Why did I not want to tell her the truth if I was out for revenge
So I suggest you write all the angry things you would say to your ex, if you could only say that without hurting yourself in anybody's eyes, including even in hers. Imagine she's tied up on a chair in front of you, and she can't fight back, and she's taken a roofi or memory erasing drug, so she won't remember anything, not even the passion with which you're telling her how she hurt you and when and why. You do that until you feel like you've had your revenge and you're satisfied you've said what you want. Then you don't ever let her see it. You use it to be sure of the most painful wounding things she did and said, so you can ask her to feel what your feelings must have been at those times. She does that in writing and she does send it out to you. because she wants to help you heal your worst wounds, and you want to help her heal her worst wounds. This is the direct path to melting away the iron cagewalls around your heart and her heart. Then you will suddenly feel your love again. You'll be glad you didn't let your unexpressed anger and hurt staY in the way of your love any longer. Because now you can't really feel your love without also feeling your pain and anger, so it doesn't really feel like it's love.
You didn't tell her the truth because your revenge urge was hidden even from you. And your everyday conscious self is too considerate and concerned about making the right moves to get back together, because everybody, even your own "better self" says that's the best way to get thru this horrible year and keep your self-respect and the respect of both families. That baby boy is your guarantee that staying together is going to be better than ditching each other.
Ok Im reading and taking it all in
But you've said she's pretty hard to get along with, and her family's not very together. SO I suggested that you pay for good psychotherapy for her, and I might be able to coach you in finding a good person that she could really heal with.
She is easy to get along with. She is very no nonsense, she was my cheerleader
She just had a screwy upbrining
yet she managed to not turn out like them
As I said before
seeing her with our son has shown certain emotions in her that I have not seen in her before
She is a giver, a people pleaser, she wants everyone to feel at ease even if it cost her
I think her having the abortions was a way of keeping everyone happy, even though she really wanted those children
I'm frustrated too, because it's really difficult for me to explain things to you and make sure that you're able to reason with me and to carry out suggestions I give by making them more what fits for you. THis really needs face to face conversation, or at least telephonic conversation. What I'm writing here should require several therapy sessions to reach your understanding so that you can use what you need. In Emotionally Centered Couple Therapy they go over every emotional change several times because we just can't learn those unaware things without lots of practice.
I understand that thank you again
God, she's suffered a lot from her own barrier against doing what feels right to her. I think I heard you saying last night that you wanted those children too. That you wanted to become a father even before now.
I did want those babies and she did it with out asking me she lied to me. I think out of fear of her family, whom she has since cut ties with, to her benefit nonetheless, has helped her heal too
I did want to be a father, and I wanted to marry her
But after finding out about what she did, I just went the other way
Where do you live? and where does she live now that she's moved away? Is she nearer to her folks now, or further away than she was before she moved. ;AHA. She is braving the wilderness of leaving the family. She does need a prince to love and protect her. She knows you want to do that. Your future looks good if you can leave enough of the partying behind and get thru the process of confessing your hurt to each other and each trying to empathize with the other's pain and lasting wounds. I think you could do all that better if you had a face-to-face therapist. [And could you move away from her parents and take care of your new family where she is now, or somewhere else but away from her parents?\
I live in California, she moved to Arizona, her parents, live in California as well
I need to confess something as well
Of course I would love to help you with your healing. But I live in Florida, tho I was born and raised in LA and did most of my college education at Berkely, Stanford and Sonoma State in the North SF Bay.
Very nice!!
Im in good hands
Please do tell me what you need to confess. I treat therapy as a priestly profession, and so does my wife.
When I got caught, I told her I did not care about the other girl, well I continued to date the other girl, the 21 year old, I mean valentines day and all. If I did not care for her, why did I date her .
So should I get a job doing Allstate Insurance Ads on TV? (Sorry, I can't stay serious all the time.)
Thank you for you humor it helps
All state owes me money
Is it the physical still
I dated the 21 year old and was soooo mean to my sons mother
I wish you were in souther ca
Don't ever tell her that if you don't have to because she will find out and then hate you for lying again. Hey, you're human. You wanted to minimize the hurt you were causing your ex (I wish she had a name, cuz I don't like Ex, or "the mother of my child").
Actually she knows that I continued to see the other girl
she knows!
Is is the revenge factor still
Her name is Amber
We never discussed it but I know that she knows
I grew up in San Gabriel, but I'd never want to live in LA again. I could imagine living in San Diego, or anywhere in N Calif, but not in LA.
Remember she is no dumbee
So she might have to say that when you get to the point of expressing all of your regrets and empathizing, or she might spare you that. But don't count on it to evaporate without a trace. After all, look at how much impact your hurt and anger have had and how you had to express some of it when she put you on the spot on the phone.
Sounds like you have a lot of respect for her. And you defended her when I suggested she might be pretty hard to live with because of her dysfunctional family.
So I need to get past my pain and anger toward her.
I do defend her but I want to blast her as well
I have tried to replace her but I cant
I think I just kept dating the girl to prove my point right? Or to feed my ego and my physical
Would you agree that the 21 year old meant nothing to me
and thats why I did not tell my sons mother about her>
Yes and that's why I've told you to write that trash letter about everyhthing you'd like to throw at her but can't without possibly ruining your future together. I'm sure there will be good Emotionally Focused therapists near your city, and you can find them on the internet. Scott Wooley is the dean for Marriage & Family Therapy in Calif Schools of Professional Psychology and a big honcho in Emotionally Focused Therapy. He'd be too expensive, but he'd know of lots of well-trained former students in the LA area. I think he's somewhere near Irvine, where they have a campus.
I will google him
Wow thanks so much
I mean really
I think this is going to be a slow process for us, but Im also in fear of losing my family, which I kinda have already, but really losing them to another man
No, the 21yr old did mean something to you, she was a safe haven during your storms. She wanted you and you can be grateful to her for her effort. You can write her some day, very carefully--perhaps send your email to me first ([email protected]).
I don't understand really losing them to another man.
And when you're ready I also have a confession to make to you that matters to me.
But I mean she meant nothing to me like my sons mother did, she was just really something to do so to speak
the 21 year old
I dont want to see them with other man
I think the 21 year old catered to my ego which I did like
Confess please
I want to hear about losing your family. Perhaps you need to get further away from them like Amber did. you go into the wilderness after her and build your own homestead. Of course your good job must be portable too.
I mean loosing my son and my ex to another man
What if she finds another guy
I must tell you that my sons mother is a looker, she is smart, a people person, she is a total package
so of course men will be after her
Oh no, I think you can keep her from running that way if you start writing her about how you want to use therapy to get thru your pain and her pain, and how I've been coaching you about empathizing with her.
And here's why that could help: Amber came on this site earlier this week, and I became the major counselor for her. That's why when I saw your introduction at 2:18 Eastern time, I knew you were her man who wanted her back. She also bragged about how much money you spent on her and her family (but she rounded your dinner party up to $1000. So you have impressed her with your sincerity. You have been doing the right things so far, even by keeping as much of the worst stuff inside as well as you can.
Really she did
So its working
So I've been doing marriage therapy and coaching both of you on how to heal your wounds. She hasn't come back on since Monday or Tuesday, I could check which, because I've been saving the best of what I've encountered on this site for my own future understanding.
Wow thanks
I know she is busy she is raising our son by herself
What about replacing her, what do you see in that
Ive tried but I cant
your like a crystal ball
sense of humor
thank you should we meet again
Im corey by the way
I checked and she got most of her answers from another counselor, and I wrote her in the early morning of Monday. As I did right away with you--because I knew who you were, I wrote much more deeply tpo her about what was going on and how she could further the process of reconciliation. She didn't reply, or I didn't see a reply from her, so she might have not understood me either. I can explain a lot better when I know what you understand and what you don't, and I know what you're ready to absorb and use and what not yet. It is possible to use this site ongoing for a monthly subscription fee, not high at all. I don't understand how I get paid decently when that's what the questioner pays, but I'll be finding out, because I've only been active for under a month and already a handful of questioners have noticed the quality of what I choose to give them. That probably means that when I get my own website up, I'll have a clientele.
Well I hope you get a great percentage you are really helping me
I'd like to meet again, and your costs would be pretty low if you subscribe, and you could give me bonuses to keep me happier. In fact I'm getting 50% now, and I don't remember how many more "Accepts" I'll need before I reach the top, of 75%.
I will absolutely
With what I said do you think there is hope for us
I know that I have embarassed her so much
I've received congratulations (automated) from the management (they're in San Francisco) when I've been given a bonus, usually $15-25, but it probably depends on what the questioner can afford, because they don't have to give anything--and I'm pretty sure the management takes 50% of that too. I'm sure that they do notice when I'm motivating people to keep coming back, and that helps me maintain a good reputation here.
Now when you write that you have embarrassed her so much, you are really doing the empathizing work. Hearing or reading THAT is what will melt the iron shield she needs to protect her from more hurt. And she's a new mother who'd really need her husband to protect, provide for and help her with the child.
Yes I do think there is hope for you both. I know reuniting your own family is your highest priority. But I want to add that doing the remorse work of understanding and expressing what you can about how she must have felt at key points--BEFORE you try to tell her what your biggest hurt-moments, and shame-moments, as well as love-moments have been. If you learn how to do that by doing it with coaching, or in person during therapy sessions, then you will be a better man even if fate doesn't let you get back together. But I'm convinced that persistence will win out.
ok well Im a work in progress
If I were to be honest, Im not done being a bachelor
but I am done with the other girl
I know I hurt her
I do want a life that is right for all three of us
but you are helping me to be honest
About the other men worry you have. I'm sure she will only let a man near her if he is comforting her and helping her with the baby. That's where your competition could come from. But she can't be over you any faster than you can be over her.
I know shes not but she did leave with my child and the fact that I kept on with the other girl
and I kept mistreating her
and have never admitted my wrongs to her
I dont see her ever coming to terms with it
As to your bachelor blues: You're turning 30 or are 30 already (Amber said so). At age 30 it's very common and normal for men and women to have an "early adulthood crisis," and Astrology (of which my wife is an expert) predicts that too. I can witness to the impact of my own crisis, from 28 to 31, with the most painful peak at 30. Basically what often happens is that the 20s are what a Harvard psychologist whose work inspired the very popular Passages books of the 1980s. Then around 30 you hit a wall and discover that some of the paths you've been walking on till then are deadends (Like Bob Dylan had a motorcycle wreck and was out of commision for a year) So you can, if you're seriously paying attention, discover what you really want to devote your life to in adulthood and what you have to leave behind.
I know in other words I need to grow up
Ok Im sleepy as I am sure you are
I have saved your email
I won't go on with this now, because I need to tell you that, even tho you can imagine how she'll ever get over the things you've done and said--is exactly the kind of remorse and despair that will move her to realize that you really hurt now for what you did before and don't expect her to ever forget it. If you can say that, with humility and not bitterness. You are showing her how you can put down your own weapons and open your heart to feel for her (and not just for yourself). That's true vulnerability and that is what will heal your wounds and hers. That is the quality that so few men have, until they learn it thru great suffering, as you have been having. As a new mother, I think she knows that helpless feeling better than she did before, so you'll find a receptive ear and heart.
One last bit of info from you
Everyone has told me that she would try to hit me for child support, and that she was a gold digger. But what they did not know about her is that her family is very wealthy, she was never the type to flaunt wealth.
When we first began our relationship she was the one to pay all the bills etc
Since she had our son and left her family it has been a struggle for her financially. Yet she has not filed child support against me
So I will go now. It's only 3:45 tonight, where last night it was 4:45. My wife stays up all night most nights, because she has terrible chronic pain during the day, but can make jewelry at night and feel good. Both my wife and our only daughter have unimprovable chronic pain for the foreseeable future, though my wife has more hope in her diagnosis than our daughter, whose disease is fairly rare and incurable. Ok, now to what you're asking.
Well as of recent my family celebrated a cultural holiday
My parents who do not have much money either gave her 100 dollars and without question or a headsup she slipped the 100 dollars into my glove box of my car
only to later mention that she wanted me to give the money back to my parents as she did not feel comfortable keeping their money
What do you make of this on her part
most woman would have kept the money! She needs it and yet still gave the money back
So, Corey, that's some backbone Amber has in her. Wealthy families often use wealth to control their children. Hopefully in these very hard times, they will find it in their hearts to give to her even when she doesn't do what they want her to.
Control is just the half of it with them!
What type of woman do you make her out to be after that story
Well, it seems to me that she's had a lot of bad trips associated with her parents' money, and she respects your parents for being not like her parents. She might be pretty fierce, now that she's escaping her family's noose, to make sure that she doesn't depend on anybody. But she could hurt herself and your child by being too rigid about that. I also think that when you're well into your process of mending your bond with her and working toward living together again in an area where you are your own bosses, a ways into that process, when she's seen you be truly empathic about her wounds as well as open about your own, then you could tell her you want to give her X hundred dollars a month to help out with the bills, NOT as charity, and NOT as guilt payment, and NOT as child support, because you don't accept that you are divorced and will not come back together soon. But as your contribution to her household for now, on the way to a more happy arrangement in the future. She'd resist now. But if you show her your feeling side, in a few months she might be ready to make the commitment she would know she's making by accepting your financial support for her life.
Well see, she does get money from me and accepts it.
Before I'd say anything about her personality, I'd need to reread what she wrote over last weekend to the other (female) counselor. I won't share that with you, because I insure client confidentiality by my professional ethics. But I'm not going to do that now. You've got an easier time with 1am than I do with 4am.
But she knows my parent situation, she is not rigid about financial help
she gave it back to them because she said she was not comfortable with keeping money from people who dont work
I kinda feel like she is not the gold digger that I am told she is
Oh great! Bless you all. I'm going to bed. Pop me a bonus and give me a shout when you're ready for more. I think it might turn out to be a good plan to just keep short contacts, half hour here & there, several times a week. I'm glad you're keeping what we've written, cuz there's a lot in this for you to think on, and later to ask me more about. I actually do very long sessions with some of my in-person clients here in Ormond Beach FL, next to Daytona Beach, My wife and I both put our love of our clients and doing what's best for their healing above getting paid for it as much as we could be getting, at least from those that can afford it. And today I saw on my Positive Psych listserv a subject heading Altruists live longer, and a week ago on Aolnews it said Conscientiousness is associated with longer lifespans. So doing what feels right in the bigger picture has its rewards.

Only half of adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) report a smoking quit attempt in the past year. Adults with COPD have frequent encounters with the healthcare system that are opportunities for health behavior interventions that support quit attempts. The purpose of this research was to examine individual- and clinical-level factors associated with smoking quit attempts in adults with COPD. Cross-sectional data were from the 2011 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Race-stratified, weighted logistic regression examined factors associated with quit attempt among current smokers with COPD. Overall, quit attempt was reported by 65% (95% confidence interval (CI): 61.9, 67.5) of adults and was more likely among blacks than whites (
The majority of adult smokers make multiple attempts to quit before succeeding [
Quit attempts can vary by age and race/ethnicity. In the general population, older adults report lower interest in quitting when compared to younger adults and quit attempts decrease with age [
Guidelines for management of COPD include smoking cessation counseling; however, compliance to guidelines varies. In hospitalized COPD patients reporting current smoking, 30% to 69% were offered smoking cessation advice and 16% were offered nicotine replacement therapy [
Ample opportunity exists in the clinical setting to assist adults with COPD in making a quit attempt. In the Medicare population, COPD ranks second highest in average yearly number of hospital discharges (

In black adults, the significant factors for a quit attempt in the past 12 months were having a partner, exercise in the past 30 days, having had a breathing test to diagnose their COPD, and having a personal doctor. Compared to black smokers who reported not having a partner, those with a partner were 4.5 (CI: 1.3, 15.0) times more likely to have made a quit attempt in the past 12 months. When compared to black smokers who reported no exercise in the past 30 days those who reported exercise in the past 30 days were 3.7 (CI: 1.6, 8.7) times more likely to have made a quit attempt in the past 12 months. Black adults who reported a breathing test to diagnose COPD compared to those who did not have a breathing test to diagnose COPD were 9.5 (CI: 3.2, 28.7) times more likely to have made a quit attempt in the past 12 months. Compared to black adults without a personal doctor, those with a personal doctor were 6.4 (CI: 1.8, 22.5) times more likely to have made a quit attempt in the past 12 months.
Quit attempts in adults with COPD do not meet targeted recommendations for cessation attempts described by Healthy People 2020. In this national sample of current adult smokers with COPD, only 65% reported a quit attempt in the past 12 months. While this prevalence was lower than the Healthy People 2020 target of 80% by all current adult smokers it is higher than the 50% reported by Schiller and Ni [
Healthcare utilization factors associated with smoking quit attempts differed between black and white adults with COPD in the current research. In white adults with COPD, healthcare utilization factors were not related to quit attempts. This may be inherent to white adults or an oversight on the part of the healthcare system and deserves additional attention. Black adults with COPD who had spirometry to diagnose their COPD compared to those who did not have spirometry to diagnose COPD were more likely to report a quit attempt in the past 12 months. While a report by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality determined that the available evidence does not support that spirometry is effective in smoking cessation, the current research determined that it may play a role in quit attempts among black adults with COPD [
The current research was not able to determine if respondents were given advice to quit smoking; however, other research found that whites (48%
In the current research, a greater proportion of black compared to white adults who were current smokers made a quit attempt in the past 12 months and this is consistent within the literature. For example, compared to white smokers, black smokers are more likely to report interest in quitting smoking and attempts to quit smoking are more prevalent among black smokers [
This study has several potential limitations. First, cross-sectional data limits the assessment of the timing of the relationships between variables in the study and quit attempts. For instance, among black adults it is not known whether having a physician contributed to a quit attempt or if assistance for smoking cessation was needed and a physician was subsequent to a quit attempt. Second, not all relevant factors or potential confounders were assessed due to the limitations of the questions asked in the BRFSS. For instance, motivation or intention to quit is strongly associated with a quit attempt in the general population of smokers and its association with quit attempt should be considered in future studies among the COPD population [
In summary, the available epidemiologic evidence indicates that quit attempts in the COPD population do not meet targeted recommendations delineated by Healthy People 2020. Previous research has documented that quit attempts vary with regard to race/ethnicity and age in the general population of smokers. The current results expand the body of literature by demonstrating the role the healthcare system plays in the likelihood of quit attempts among adults with COPD of different races. Clinical factors associated with quit attempt varied by race suggesting that there are opportunities for health behavior intervention in these populations that may support smoking cessation. Understanding race-specific factors that could result in successfully quitting in adults with COPD may increase cessation rates, reduce racial/ethnic disparities in tobacco behaviors and decrease the tobacco-related burden in this population. Future research will examine the impact of these individual and healthcare factors and their associations with cessation in adults with COPD of varying race/ethnicity.

Louisiana guardsmen and state Wildlife and Fisheries agents continued Thursday to rescue stranded residents from their flooded homes in a Laplace subdivision swamped by Hurricane Isaac.
Other residents of the Cambridge subdivision who fled the floodwaters Wednesday returned Thursday to salvage what few belongings they could.
Husband and wife David and Bernita Augustine and their frightened beagle, Ella, were rescued late Thursday morning by armed Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries agents in an agency boat.
"It was just a matter of minutes," David Augustine said of the surge from Lakes Pontchartgrain and Maurepas that innundated his Yorktown Drive home.
Neighbors Moises Ledesma and Cornell Bolden walked in knee-deep water up Cambridge Drive, Ledesma with a 45-gallon garbage can stuffed with food and clothes, and Bolden with a 30-gallon plastic storage box, also jammed with food and clothes for he and his dog.
"This is unbelievable," Booden said. "This is a no-flood zone."
Darren Coleman and his 14-year-old daughter, Darenisha, also lugged a plastic storage boxes and plastic garbage bags up the flooded Cambridge Drive.
"This is our Hurricane Katrina," Darren Coleman said. Adding that he, "Never would have thought in a million years," that such a catastrophe would take place in Laplace.

It has been a while since Texas Tech has taken the floor to play a game.
Now after nearly a two-week layoff, since falling in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Championships in Dallas to Oklahoma State, the Lady Raiders open the first round of the NCAA Tournament against South Florida.
"It's going to feel really great," senior guard Monique Smalls said. "Two weeks—you don't realize how long it is until you're out there and on the practice court playing against each other over and over again. It was fun, we saw a lot of people's competitive side, we got after each other but we made each other better. So coming into this game we're all excited because we've been waiting to play a game for two weeks now."
Tech (21-10, 11-7 in Big 12 play) is in its first NCAA Tournament since 2011 and unlike the last time they were in the big dance, the Lady Raiders get to stay at home and play in front of a friendly crowd.
Lubbock was chosen as a regional host site for the 2013 NCAA Tournament in the fall, and senior Chynna Brown said with the chance to play in front of the fans that have cheered them on all season long is special.
"It is always good to have the home court advantage; we get to play in front of fans, and family and friends," she said. "We are just excited and ready to go."
In the first round, the Lady Raiders got placed against an opponent that they have faced only twice in school history – South Florida.
The Bulls (21-10, 9-7 in Big East Conference play) are in the tournament for the first time since 2006 - USF falling to USC in the first round of the NCAA Tournament that season, losing 67-65.
"Everyone's pretty excited," South Florida junior Akila McDonald said about getting into the tournament. "It's been awhile since South Florida's gotten into the tournament, and this team worked really hard to get here. So we're just excited and we're ready to get it started."
In 2013 the Bulls have found some success against teams in the Top-25, beating two including then-No. 12/11 Louisville and then-No.21/18 Syracuse in the span of just four days.
Joining the party in the upsets of the top teams in the land were the Lady Raiders playing spoiler twice this season.
Tech beat then-No.13/12 Oklahoma State in Stillwater, 64-59, on January 2 and then topped then-No. 23/21 Kansas, 70-63, on January 19.
With both teams having experience playing the big games, winning close ones and losing a few as well, Tech head coach Kristy Curry compares the Bulls to the Lady Raiders in a multitude of ways.
"Well I think they have seven seniors and we have five so, it's definitely two mature squads who have been through a lot of different situations throughout the year," Curry said. "They have won some close ones, they've been down 13 and come back and won, and we've been down and come back and won, and we've lost some close ones. So it's been fun to watch them on film because, we are both very similar. And our path has been very similar. You know they just have great guard play, transition, and they are very athletic. It's very fun to watch on film because, we are very similar."
Now the stage has been set - the United Spirit Arena.
The red carpet has been rolled out, the cameras are in place and all that is left is to throw the ball up at 5:30 p.m. today and see at the end of 40 minutes, or maybe even longer, which team comes out on top, which team's season continues to at least Monday night.
"I think we have a lot under our belt, from good and bad," senior Casey Morris said. "We've had great seasons and seasons where we wanted to do great and we didn't do that well. I think from all the experience in general I think its been good for us, and I think that the NCAA tournament is a time where we can step it up and play like its our last game."

BP insists the story of North Sea oil still has a "long way to run" after the company received the go-ahead for a major £4.5 billion project.
The second phase of the giant Clair field, west of the Shetland Islands, forms part of £10 billion being spent on four projects by BP and its partners from Shell, ConocoPhillips and Chevron over the next five years.
At £4 billion, BP's involvement represents the highest level of annual investment the company has made in the UK North Sea.
BP chief executive Bob Dudley said: "Although it began over 40 years ago, the story of the North Sea oil industry has a long way yet to run.
"BP has produced some five billion barrels of oil and gas equivalent so far from the region and we believe we have the potential for over three billion more."
At their peak, it is expected that the projects will provide 3,000 UK oil and gas supply jobs and play a part in sustaining the more than 3,500 jobs already existing in BP's North Sea operations.
Prime Minister David Cameron said the Clair Ridge project, which received the go-ahead from the Government today, would provide "a massive boost for jobs and growth".
Earlier this year, BP and its partners announced plans for the £3 billion redevelopment of the Schiehallion and Loyal fields, west of Shetland, and the £700 million development of the Kinnoull field in the central North Sea.
Alongside development drilling and a number of smaller schemes, the four projects represent almost £10 billion of new project investment by BP and its partners into the UK continental shelf over the next five years.
Aberdeen-based BP operates around 40 oil and gas fields, four onshore terminals and a network of pipelines that transport almost half of the UK's oil and gas production.
Mr Dudley added: "After some years of decline, we now see the potential to maintain our production from the North Sea at around 200,000-250,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day until 2030.
"And we are working on projects that will take production from some of our largest fields out towards 2050."
Commenting on this morning's announcement, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "I am delighted to give the go-ahead for this project. This investment is great news for Aberdeen and the country and provides a massive boost for jobs and growth.
"It shows the confidence that there is to invest in the North Sea - we have cutting-edge technology, world-class skills and expertise and a UK Government that is committed to do what we can to secure future investment."
The Prime Minister, who is visiting BP's headquarters in Aberdeen today, added: "Aberdeen has been a destination for global investment for many years and I want to see that continue for decades to come. It continues to be at the forefront of new technology, new investment and world-class skills and expertise and shows a real can-do energy and drive to stay ahead and break new ground.
"The oil and gas industry is not only important for our energy security, but is a major source of jobs and is vital for future economic growth. There is still massive opportunity in the North Sea and I am determined to work closely with the industry here in Aberdeen to maximise this and do what we can to promote further investment and exploration."

Excellent news!
I sincerely hope that Google just pays their taxes so to speak, in just letting the money go to public works with no strings attached, and go without owning a piece of (what is rightly) public property.
This proposed privatization of a public space is bad for everyone but the 1%, and I know that people will think less of Google as a company if they lease that space in return for their so-called "philanthropy."

You'd think the bean-counters at NASA, the agency that once sent humans to the moon, and returned them safely to the Earth, could have figured that out by now.
Then those same bean-counters should have have figured out that a recent offer of private funding would solve the "who's going to pay for this?" problem that the Navy and NASA have been ducking for the better part of a decade.

The refs did blow that timing issue at the end of the game.
How Hunter and Dalembert were beat that badly on the boards is also a mystery. I thought Dalembert could be a poor-man's Dwight Howard in last night's game.
Good luck the rest of the way, and do us Bulls fans a favor and beat the Knicks when you play them.
Will do James. Good luck.

So saying, carfax rose from his chair, quitted the room—and within another minute returned, solemnly escorting the two detectives.
And did he tell you my grandfather carfax's dictum in the Banstock case?
"I must see the fire at carfax," she answered; and at last they forbore to press her, knowing her mind was made up.
In that "nee carfax" there was, to those who knew, something more than met the eye.
And carfax pointed to Stobb's partner, a very quiet, observant man who had listened with a sly expression on his face.
"Ah, well, we needn't tell that when she goes into the witness-box," said carfax.
"Perform the duty quickly then, Sir Priest," he snarled; and then rode back to carfax.
"Leave that to me, carfax," interrupted Mr. Wraythwaite, with a nod at Avice.
All I had to do was to find out facts, and report them to Mr. carfax and Mr. Wraythwaite.
The inquiry agents glanced at each other and then at carfax.

1-8 Shortcut Keys - What Are Yours?
I'll start:
1: Split-screen off
2: Split-screen on, arrow mode
3: Split-screen on, entertainment details.
4: AM, Station WFAN
5: Sirius, Station 20 on 20
6: iPod, Play Last Position
7: Nav, Start Guidance Home
8: Phone, Dial Home
Buttons 1-3: I do a lot of driving with the nav and like to have a quick ability to toggle between full screen and the two most important split-screens.
Buttons 4-6: I like having one-push access to instantly start one of the three audio input modes. Prevents the need to hit "Radio" and then scroll down to "Satellite" or "AM". Same for iPod.
Shortcut Keys that can't happen (yet should): iPod Playlists, Traffic Alerts, Recent Destinations.
I am lazy today. Could you please provide me a quick "For Dummies" quite to do this. Thanks in advance. BTW I like your choices and will probably duplicate them myself.
Example: Menu > Navigation > Destinations > "Home Address" > Start (don't press 'start', just have the border around it). Then push and hold Button 1.
From that point forward, a press on Button 1 will start navigating you home without any additional input or effort.
A neat BMW feature: If you gently touch (not press) a shortcut button a banner appears on the screen that tells you what you've programmed there.
BJ, you're late to the party. This thread was already done last year when the F30 first hit the market. Search for that thread and continue there.
No F30 owner cares to see what E90 owners are doing with their presets as we don't socialize with the used car crowd.
Now now lighten up The last time I looked we were all BMW owners.
1: Split-screen off
2: Split-screen on, arrow mode
3: Split-screen on, entertainment details.
4: Radio Station WFAN
5: iPod, Play Last Position
6: Nav, Directions List View
7: Nav, Stop Navigation
8: Nav, Start Guidance Home
Buttons 1-3: I do a lot of driving with the nav and like to have a quick ability to toggle between full screen and the two most important split-screens.
Buttons 4-5: I like having one-push access to instantly start one of the three audio input modes. Prevents the need to hit "Radio" and then scroll down to "Satellite" or "AM". If you make the shortcut from your list of Presets on the HUD you can scroll through all the different stations regardless of what source they come from. Same for iPod, starts playing last position, HUD for song lists.
Buttons 6-8: One touch ability to navigate Home, list of directions much easier to find, and end navigation.
You would think 8 buttons is enough, and honestly, I don't think they should add anymore, because once you start having more than 8, then they're probably going over the top...
But, right off the top of my head, I see a need for 3 buttons dedicated to my family. 1) Wife's cell phone, 2) Daughter's cell phone, 3) Son's cell phone.
Plus, I'd like to add several channels for Sirius, and I like all those that BJ put out there...
Except Joe & Evan
So far:
1. Radio Presets
2. Nav Map View
6. Eco Pro Analyzer. Been playing with it a bit, honestly this is gonna be booted out for something more useful.
7. Silly Hybrid animations because every passenger wants to see "that Prius screen"
8. Trip Computer
Still contemplating what to use the other buttons for :)
I presume that the shortcut buttons are saved with the driver's key. Where as I might have a button set to a local sports station, my wife might have the same button set for NPR. Am I right about this? Once I've got the station I want, can I scroll through other other preset radio stations, or is it better to set the button as jdong has above, "1. Radio Presets."
I dedicate one key as a shortcut to the radio stations Presets list and it defaults to my favorite station in that list. Then all you have to do is use the scroll wheel on the steering wheel and change stations on the HUD. It opens up the rest of the shortcut keys for things other than radio stations.
Your wife can make her own list of Presets that will be specific to her key, so her default favorite station can be NPR whereas yours might be sports radio.
(Note to others reading this: the radio Presets is a list of 40 radio stations that you can customize in iDrive. The shortcut keys are the 1-8 buttons on the dashboard. They are two separate things.)
BJ, thanks that was helpful. Can't wait to try some of this if my car ever gets out of port and into the US.
Still haven't figured out the buttons, time to read the user's manual amidst holiday festivities.
1. Call wife
2. Call parents
3. BBC Radio 1
4. BBC World Radio
5. I forget...
6. Consumption history
7. Messages
8. Directions home
Many owners think of them merely as radio station buttons, and they are so much more than that.
As an example, BMW has buried the function that shows you the full, sequential list of turn-by-turn directions when you are navigating to a destination. It's there, but it requires a whole bunch of option button presses, wheel turns, back buttons, etc. Once you've located the function in iDrive, you merely put the focus (the red box) on that item and then press and hold a corresponding 1-8 shortcut button and its now there at your fingertips. Very cool to have a car that offers that level of customization.
You have to go to either the iPod screen or the Radio screen in iDrive in order to find the specific shortcut that says turn "entertainment details" split screen. That's how I can toggle between the two split screen displays using buttons 2 and 3 on the center stack.
If that doesn't work let me know, and I'll go down to the garage and play with it and figure out how I got there.
Thanks BJ! Great info. :thumbup:
The way it works now, you hit Phone, it defaults to the address book, but it's in alphabetical order. So many of the favorites that you would be dialing frequently are buried hundreds of entries below.
The workaround for this is to add a "period" before the name of the address book entry. iDrive prioritizes certain symbols ahead of letters and numbers. So on my iPhone, I've added eight duplicate phone numbers and changed the names thusly:
"Home" is duplicated as .Home
"My Wife" is now split as .Wife Mobile and .Wife Work
Once you set up these duplicates with just phone numbers and add the "period" before the first letter of the person's name, they will appear on the very first screen the second you hit the phone button on the iDrive controller.
From an iPhone standpoint, the duplicates do not appear in your favorites and don't add clutter to your core address book on that device.

David Beckham has embraced Milan like a lover, knowing a couple of decent performances will put him within a phone call from Fabio Capello of joining Bobby Moore as England's most capped outfield player.
For all his fame and deeds, he looked like a kid let loose in a department store at Christmas as he snapped pictures of the San Siro with his mobile phone. He glad-handed and smiled as his new hosts steered him around a stadium graced by some of the game's great but ageing stars.
As ever Beckham delivered a word-perfect acceptance speech when he was announced to his new club last night. At a press conference that lasted longer than some of his recent international appearances but attracted far more members of the media, Beckham confirmed it was Capello who persuaded him that a spell at a big club would do his chances of getting to 108 caps no harm at all.
"Fabio Capello is someone I respect greatly in the game," he said. "When I decided to go on loan and when I decided to take this opportunity, of course I asked his advice where I should go on loan and how long I should go for. He didn't tell me any club in particular. I said I wanted to play in Italy, and hopefully to play for Milan and, given the opportunity, would take that. He said, 'The best thing for you is to play football at the highest level. Wherever that is, if it's Italy, England or Spain, it would be great for you'.
"That's exactly the right thing a manager should do. If any player is not playing at the top level, then to play at international level is virtually impossible. I've done it for a few months [at LA Galaxy] but what I think is great about Fabio Capello as a manager is that, if you are playing, wherever you're playing in the world, and you're fit and you're ready to play in the team, he will give you a chance to play."
"It's great that he has given me the chance. That looked in doubt quite a few times. To be brought back into the team, back into the England squad, everybody knows how much that means to me. Whether it's five minutes, 10 minutes, 90 minutes, I'll always be there for my country, because it's one of the biggest honours that any footballer can have in his career."
Beckham, ever respectful to his employers, sponsors and team-mates, knows playing regularly in a team even in such ordinary shape as Milan will be no given. He is on loan until March and will play in a couple of Milan's warm-up matches in Dubai before being considered.
"It's going to be very tough at one of the biggest clubs in the world to go straight in the team. It just doesn't happen. But I'm going to be working hard. I'm going to be training hard. That was one good thing about the medical. My fitness level was higher than I expected it to be.
"I'm looking forward to training with the players, getting used to them, because it's a loan spell. It's not as if I'm coming into the team and I'm going to be here for a few years. What it's all about is me coming into the club and not upsetting the team, and not upsetting the players. It's about being one of the lads, one of the players, and that's the biggest thing.
"I've always been a team player throughout my career, and that's what I intend to do with AC Milan. "I spoke to a few players in England — of course Gary Neville, a few times — and they just think it's great. "When it was announced I was coming to AC Milan on loan, the amount of messages I had saying, 'That's great, I can't believe it, after Manchester United and Real Madrid, now AC Milan!' I think I've already fallen in love [with this club]."
Beckham denied he came to the fashion capital of Italy on a whim of his wife, Victoria, or to be at the centre of a scene so obviously suited to his sponsorship deals with Armani. In what might come to be seen as the underpants period of his career, he is determined to be taken seriously as a footballer.
"I've always respected the Italian way of playing the game. It's passionate, it's strong, it's everything I fell in love with. They're tough games, theiry're passionate games, they're also very stylish.
"But no, fashion had nothing to do with my choice in coming to Milan. The red and black shirt is the reason I came to Milan. This was obviously an idea that I had, and just had to find out if it was possible. Of course, when I decided I wanted to go on loan, I didn't know whether Milan would accept. I had to find that out. Then it became reality. It's a dream come true — and not about fashion, even though it's a beautiful place."
Which is the way the Beckhams' world must look from the window of their suite at the Four Seasons, one of the great hotels of Europe. Victoria has already looked at where to live. The children will have a burst of Italian culture before returning to Hollywood. And David will sit by the phone, waiting for a call from Fabio.

Published in Ground Water Magazine, July-August, 2004: volume 42, number 4, pages 625-631.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) was established on March 3, 1879, as a permanent governmental agency for . . . classification of the public lands, and examination of the geological structure, mineral resources, and products of the national domain (Rabbitt 1989). March 2004 marked the 125th anniversary of the USGS and, in recognition of that anniversary, the editor-in-chief and the history editor of Ground Water invited me to summarize some of the contributions to ground water hydrology made by the USGS. Obviously, the USGS is part of a wider scientific community; however, this history comprises just the role of the USGS and is not intended to summarize contributions from the entire scientific community of ground water scientists.

This company had the absolute worst customer service skills imaginable. The young lady answered the phone with an attitude and was abrupt. She told me that they did not do a particular county and when I said that was fine, she just hung up without inquiring if I was still interested in getting the information for the local agency. I called back but then told her that I am no longer interested because of her attitude. I'm not going to pay my money to be treated rudely. I contacted someone else.
Friendly & Very Helpful!!!! Awsome Customer Service!!!!01/19/2011
I had been to a few bonding companys before i walked into there office. A few of them didn't even acknowledge i was there afte i told them it was a small bond amout one of the persons at one of the other bonding company told me they had a person with a higher bond and the one i was doing was not that important. But when i walked into Am-Mex Bail Bonds they not only treated me with Respect they were very helpful and friendly!!!! So if you need help no matter how big or small the bond and want to be treated with respect i highly recommend Am-Mex Bail Bonds!!!!!!
Absolute BEST bonding company!04/12/2008
The guys over at Ammex know how to take care of you when you mess up with the law. I ran into alot of trouble a while back and Rodney was quick to respond at 3am when my brother called for his services. My brother called a few bonding companies (AZ, ABC, etc etc) but they were reluctant and didn't want to deal with a bond that was significantly higher than usual. (100K+) There aren't many obstacles once I had gotten bailed out. Just the usual once a week check-in calls and what not, but they don't ride your back the way everyone else does. I'd recommend the guys at Ammex to anyone who needs a bondsman soon or asap.

Before MP3s and digital downloads, popular songs were released as singles on records or tapes. There was always a song on the "B side" from the same artist, frequently something not found on any albums. The B side song was never heavily promoted but often just as fabulous as the A side; a bonus for the discerning listener who looks beyond the mainstream for a little extra awesome!
Made with yarn left over from my Addison Hat, the B Side Hat is an homage to the B Side songs: a little extra awesome!

This paper investigates Model A (as discussed by Hudson & Harris MIMS EPrint 2006.10) with the inclusion of a gas Energy equation. We present two formulations of the model and discretise them using the Lax-Wendroff, MacCormack and a high resolution scheme. Three different test cases are used to compare the results to determine the accuracy and robustness of the schemes. The results of Model A-EE are also compared to the isentropic model (Model A).

OLATHE, Kan. - 12/14/2004 - In this, the second NAIA regular season basketball poll of the season, the Union University Bulldogs jumped three spots to No. 15 in the NAIA's Top-25 rankings. Union is currently 10-3 on the season. Meanwhile, the Lady Bulldogs of Union University remained No. 1 in the nation with their unblemished 13-0 record. Union again gained all 12 first place votes.
Both teams are done for this semester; however, each team will have tough road games awaiting them on the other side of the Christmas break. The men will travel to Beckley, West Virginia on January 8 to play the defending NAIA National Champion and current No. 2 ranked team in the nation. Mountain State is sitting at 14-1 on the year and this will mark the first of two games with Mountain State this season for the Bulldogs.
The Lady Bulldogs will travel to No. 24 North Georgia on January 4 for their first game after the break. Union and North Georgia have already played once this season with Union taking that game 89-68 at Union.
The first home games for Union after Christmas will be a double-header Thursday, January 13 with three of the four teams ranked in their respective polls. The Lady Bulldogs will play Campbellsville University (Ky.) at 5:00 pm. Campbellsville is normally ranked but is off to a slow start this season. The men will face No. 6 Georgetown College (Ky.) in a rematch game from earlier this season at 7:00 pm. Georgetown defeated Union 81-65 at Georgetown in the second game of the season.
Both the Bulldogs and Lady Bulldogs will open their 2005 TranSouth Conference season on Thursday, January 20 at home when they host Trevecca Nazarene at 6 and 8 pm.

Questions have arisen regarding the safety of this procedure and possible effects on the animals when they become older. However, as more studies have been done, and veterinarians have followed early spayed/neutered animals into older age, these concerns have been shown to be unfounded. Studies in which three groups of dogs were spayed or neutered at different ages showed no significant differences in growth rate, food intake, or weight gain in the three groups of dogs.
Early spaying/neutering has been shown to be safe in multiple studies. It must be remembered that younger animals may need different anesthetics and are more prone to hypothermia (lower than normal body temperature) during surgery. But as long as procedures are modified to account for these differences, early spaying/neutering is very safe. In fact, animals spayed/neutered at a younger age, often have faster recoveries than those spayed/neutered when they are older.

Surrounded by Gunfire, Rebel Leader Told His Men to Embrace Religion
Video posted to YouTube several days before his death shows the rebel leader Abdulkader al-Saleh, who was killed on Thursday, reminding a group of his men of the importance of faith. He led the Islamist Tawhid Brigade, at one time the most effective antigovernment fighters in Aleppo Province, and was killed when the government attacked a meeting of rebel leaders. Speaking of the Assad regime, he told his men: "They are supported by Iran, Russia and Hezbollah. Who is supporting us? Only God."
Mr. Saleh, also known as Hajji Marea, was killed on Thursday, but his death was not made public until Monday. He was buried in his hometown, Marea, late Sunday. The group he led was funded largely by Qatar and had clashed with a Qaeda-linked group, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
We do not know the exact circumstances of Mr. Saleh's death. He was meeting with other rebel leaders, one of whom was also killed, when the location of their meeting was hit by either an airstrike or a government raid. We do not know who will replace him as leader of the Tawhid Brigade.
The Tawhid Brigade uploaded video to YouTube on Monday to announce Mr. Saleh's death. His followers made a tribute video that praised him as a hero. Another personal website video, taken before his death, shows Mr. Saleh reciting religious verses with several of his followers.

Hajji Marea, your words won't be forgotten. You were such a great person, and filled thousands of empty hearts. R.I.P.

Admission into the Conservatory of Music is a separate process from applying to the university.
The Bachelor of Music Degree in Music Education at Biola's Conservatory of Music will help you develop the skills you need to prepare for a successful career in music education. Graduates have a nearly 100% success rate at finding jobs in music education within six months of graduation, which speaks to the program's strength and effectiveness.
Biola's music education community and courses prepare students to impact the world for Christ through their musical gifts and talents. The strengths of the music education program include:
In addition to the general core of music courses, our comprehensive Music Education program will guide you in developing skills that are critical for music directors in an educational context such as conducting, interpreting and performing music. Student conductor positions, teaching assistantships, student observation, and required student teaching provide invaluable hands-on experience that prepares you for a successful career in music education. Special service learning projects such as Dream Center Music Days and the Music Education Outreach program offer you a chance to apply your skills and make a difference in the lives of aspiring musicians.
Graduates have found great success in acquiring jobs in music education and are leading the next generation of musicians in classrooms across the country. Our alumni have a near-100% success rate at finding jobs in music education within six months of graduation; this attests to the strength of the program and the dedication and passion of our students!
Biola gave me so much more than just a degree to enter the field of music education. The courses, communities, and professors at Biola taught me how to truly impact the world for Christ by pursuing my career with the fervor and excellence that is reflective of our Creator. The skills and disciplines I cultivated at Biola are priceless tools that will forever propel my career and desire to seek Christ in all that I do."
The biblical training was invaluable. And the broadness and depth of the Bible curriculum was a lot more valuable than I realized or appreciated at the time. It gave me a grounding in the faith and in issues that I wouldn't have otherwise received. The musical education I received gave me a solid foundation both as a performer and as a teacher. So many places have the technical things in place, but the music lacks the risk-taking and passion that is typical of Biola's ensembles. "
I would like to thank the music department (now conservatory) as a whole for your commitment to providing an outstanding music education integrated with Christian world view for students such as I was. I know God led me to attend Biola...and my time spent there greatly affected the direction of my life. "
