Edward N. Lorenz, 90, a meteorologist who laid the groundwork for chaos theory, memorably asking whether the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil can set off a tornado in Texas, died of cancer April 16 at his home in Cambridge, Mass. He was an emeritus professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
At MIT, Dr. Lorenz accidentally discovered how small differences in the early stages of a dynamic system, such as the weather, can trigger such huge changes in later stages that the result is unpredictable and essentially random.
At the time, Dr. Lorenz was studying why it's so hard to accurately forecast the weather, but the implications of his work go far beyond meteorology.
The new science of chaos fundamentally changed the way researchers address topics from the geometry of snowflakes to the predictability of which movies will become blockbusters. The butterfly effect became a popular way of describing unpredictability, most recently in "An Inconvenient Truth" (2006), the Academy Award-winning documentary with former Vice President Al Gore.
It also "brought about one of the most dramatic changes in mankind's view of nature since Sir Isaac Newton," said the committee that awarded Dr. Lorenz the 1991 Kyoto Prize for basic sciences.
Yet Dr. Lorenz's 1962 paper on chaos theory was largely ignored for years. A decade later, when he gave a talk about predictability, with a title asking the famous butterfly question, the scientific establishment was ready to consider the idea. Other scientists who had been working on similar questions swarmed to the field, and one by one, certain assumptions of science began to falter.
"When I first heard this [butterfly effect] idea, I thought it very clever but it couldn't be literally true," said James Gleick, a science writer and author of "Chaos: Making a New Science" (1987), which explored Dr. Lorenz's work. "But it is literally true. . . . Complex dynamical systems, if they are chaotic, never repeat themselves. They are capable of an infinite variety of behavior."
This means that simple systems can result in complex behavior and that the slightest change in underlying causes can make the result unpredictable.
Chaos theory -- also known as the science of nonlinearity, the science of complexity, the science of random recurrent behavior or the science of turbulence and discord -- has thus been called the third great scientific revolution of the 20th century, along with relativity and quantum physics.
Edward Norton Lorenz was born May 23, 1917, in West Hartford, Conn., and graduated from Dartmouth College. He received a master's degree in mathematics in 1940 from Harvard University and served as a weather forecaster for the Army Air Forces during World War II.
In 1948, he received a doctorate in meteorology from MIT and joined its faculty. He remained there the rest of his career.
In 1961, he was using a primitive computer to model weather forecasts, which led to his most renowned work.
Using 12 equations, such as the relationship between air pressure and wind speed, he ran the model and found exactly what he sought. But taking a shortcut on the next run, he found that a tiny decimal point change led to a significant error.
Rather than ignore the response, which peers had considered an anomaly, Dr. Lorenz realized measurement is not perfect. If temperature, pressure or humidity measurements were off by a hundredth of a percent, the rainfall he expected in Las Vegas on Thursday could show up as a snowstorm in Beijing a week later. A computerized model of how the "butterfly effect" works can be found at the Exploratorium's Web site.
"He had the ability to make important connections between atmospheric phenomena and simple theoretical models," said Isaac Held, senior research scientist in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. "He taught us that complexity can follow from very simple underlying rules. His study of the limits to the predictability of weather initiated an entire new field of chaotic dynamics."
Dr. Lorenz was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1975, and in 1983, he and oceanographer Henry Stommel were jointly awarded the $50,000 Crafoord Prize by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, an honor established to recognize fields not eligible for Nobel Prizes.
Dr. Lorenz was known as shy and humble. He enjoyed hiking and cross-country skiing and sought out mountain trails near every scientific meeting he attended, one of his daughters said.
His wife, Jane Logan Lorenz, died in 2001.
Survivors include three children, Nancy Lorenz of Roslindale, Mass., Edward Lorenz of Grasse, France, and Cheryl Lorenz of Eugene, Ore.; and four grandchildren.
Chaos theory helped shape Dr. Lorenz's conclusions as he worked to calculate long-term forecasts. Given the problems of input, the meteorologist determined that it's impossible to accurately predict weather beyond two or three weeks with a reasonable degree of accuracy.

|House of Ariadne
The House of Ariadne is a Legacy that embrace the city life and deal with mysterious geomantic lines which they call Ariadne's Threads.
The mages sworn to the House of Ariadne love everything about the city: The late nights, the crush of people, even the crime, the trash, the gang warfare, and the homeless. Every aspect of the city, the good and the bad, creates the chaos in which Acanthus mages thrive.
As a Metropolitan becomes more in tune with the energy of a city, she can follow a ley line wherever she likes. In time, she can learn to see a web of subtler lines, what the Legacy calls Ariadne's thread, spun throughout the city. The thread can follow a ley line or lead a mage on a meditative path through the city. All the threads together form the city's Knot. These threads allow the city to communicate with the Metropolitans.
Ariadne's thread can help a mage locate physical things, such as lost items or people, or abstract things, such as a safe hiding place away from prying magical eyes, Hallows or areas that have borne witness to great happiness, fear or other strong emotions. The threads can even lead to symbolic locations that express the city's own thoughts or messages to the mage. Each city has one House; there are not multiple organizations in cities, even the larger ones.

- Overpriced, consider an alternative which works better
Looking like a scene out of alien I was impressed when I first held the unit in my hand. I'd toyed with the idea of buying this for ages as the price kept putting me off.
However last week I had a spare few pounds and thought what the hell!
First impressions were great, nice unit but it's uncharged and needs four hours according to the instructions (so don't get too excited if you just want to strap on and jump in)
Getting to the point, this is advertised as a 'revolutionary guybrator'
The only thing revolutionary (kinda) is the shape, I was totally unimpressed with the sensations, fit wise it will fall off unless you lie on your back and I'm quite thick in the cock department.
To get the best possible results you need to push your cock into the oscillating head (which says you shouldn't put too much pressure on it) and this causes the unit to slow down or heavily reduce vibration
I get better results from a £30 waterproof hitachi clone, which has a far better sensation and set of vibration modes.
You'll need to be ultra horny and abstain for a week if you expect this thing to get you off hands free
So if you are considering this Do consider other products as this is priced way too high to support its poor performance, given its revolutionary status.
I'd like my money back but it clearly states you can only swap if it's not working....
- Effing useless
The first Pulse 1 that I had was fabulous but when it stopped working I ordered the Pulse 11 and it is nowhere near as good. The slightest pressure on it and it stalls. Why couldn't they just keep the same spec as previously. Useless just about sums it up!
If you want real pleasure get the Cobra Libre 11
- I had forgotten what a really GOOD DEEP CUM was like.
I have ED and have not been able to achieve a satisfying orgasm for ages, but the Pulse II Solo gave me what I have been without., a toe tingling, eye watering, mind blowing CUM!! Using a good quality lubricant I am given the sexual release I have craved for ages. I can not wait to use it with my wife, it will be such a turn on to cum for her again. If you have ED chaps buy one now, you will not regret it.
- Pulse 11 would not charge
I was able to use the vibrator twice ,after that it would not charge. The red light comes on for a few minute and then goes off. Checking the internet reveals this is a common problem with this vibrator.
- Absolutely amazing!
This toy is so much fun - both of us were able to orgasm together using the toy. It's so different to anything else and by far the best toy we have ever had!
What is the charger rating for this product please.
Thank You

Woman in ice blue fails to melt her audience
As in a Whitehall farce, exits and entrances held the key to the action when the Education Secretary and her Opposition counterpart took centre stage at the annual conference of Britain's largest teaching union.
Gillian Shephard accepted the offer of a speaking part - becoming the first government minister to address the National Union of Teachers' conference for 16 years - and all eyes in Cardiff's St David's Hall turned to see whether any of the audience would walk out in protest. Some delegates, furious at the moderate national executive's decision to issue the invitations to politicians at the expense of cherished debating time, had threatened a swift exit stage Left.
A demonstration by their comrades, meanwhile, was blamed by Mrs Shephard as the reason for her own entrance through a rear door, where she and her minders ran the gauntlet merely of a few strategically-placed television crews.
Her Labour shadow David Blunkett was at the centre of a drama at the NUT's conference in Blackpool last year when he was mobbed by militant union members. This Easter, he followed Mrs Shephard's lead and opted for the back door, though his bolder speech, offering an initiative to fund repairs for crumbling schools, won sustained applause in contrast to the cool reaction to her performance the previous day.
The Education and Employment Secretary, dressed in an ice-blue suit to face delegates clad in conference uniform of Pounds 3-a-throw No to Tory Cuts T-shirts, told teachers their professionalism had "never been under so much scrutiny". Turning their backs on accountability and on the wishes of parents would damage the standards of the profession, she insisted.
But, on stage at least, that was as tough as it got. A silent protest as Mrs Shephard stood to speak saw a row of 13 delegates turn away from the platform to hold up letters reading No To Selection. But her unconfrontational address made no mention of Government proposals to remove limits on schools' right to select pupils - due in a White Paper this summer - nor of the flashpoint topics of nursery vouchers or primary-school league tables. The speech - the executive had limited it to just 20 minutes and banned questions - was met largely with silence, punctuated with the occasional muted jeer or mocking laughter. Only a handful of members ostentatiously read Socialist Teacher throughout. At the end, a conference usually to be relied on for fire and fearlessness even mustered a brief clap.
The restraint, offering a rare example of unity in a union of many factions, was orchestrated. Despite their opposition to Mrs Shephard's visit, left-wing groups - including the Socialist Teachers' Alliance to which incoming president Carole Regan belongs - had urged silent protest in leaflets circulating at the conference, and general secretary Doug McAvoy had publicly done the same. Presenting the Secretary of State with an opportunity to be seen boldly facing down baying militants would simply play into her hands, explained STA members emerging from an earnest conflab. What was more, it would hand Mr McAvoy evidence of conference volatility, adding weight to his much criticised - and, inevitably, defeated - proposals to shift power in the union from conference to individual members through a one-member, one-vote system of ballots on key issues.
The general secretary, replying to Mrs Shephard with a bullish call for more money for education, might have sacrificed political points, but won his biggest-ever conference ovation and, if briefly, succeeded in uniting delegates behind him.
The Secretary of State, however, was left to convince a wider audience she had taken a tough stance. In a news conference afterwards, she beefed up her message, stressing the importance of standards and twice insisting teachers must accept there was "no turning back". Protests outside the hall, she claimed, were "extremely childish and very old-fashioned". Some who had witnessed the two dozen Socialist Workers and their assorted comrades, handing out leaflets with only one megaphone between them, might have questioned the need for Mrs Shephard's caution.
Mr Blunkett, whose reception committee - in stark contrast to last year - consisted only of the media and a man with a placard promoting Esperanto, earned a warm and prolonged ovation for his speech touching on all the issues conspicuously absent from Mrs Shephard's. He reaffirmed his party's commitment to scrap nursery vouchers and halt any extension to selection. And in a step that might have made bigger headlines had Labour leader Tony Blair not chosen Easter Sunday to link his politics with Christianity, he announced a scheme to create partnerships between schools, local authorities and financial institutions in order to tackle the Pounds 3.2 billion backlog of school repairs.
The plan was warmly welcomed by Graham Lane, chair of the Association of Metropolitan Authorities' education committee, though sceptical delegates, only too aware of the reality of leaking roofs and draughty portable classrooms, remained to be convinced that the cash would materialise. Mr McAvoy called on Labour to seek the money through taxation if it was not forthcoming elsewhere.
As Mr Blunkett left to prepare for the final date on this year's three-nation teaching union conference tour, the NASUWT event in Glasgow, his Liberal Democrat counterpart arrived to take his place in the limelight. Don Foster, by his own admission, offered no "new gimmicks" - even his speech had been heard a few days earlier at the Association of Teachers and Lecturers' conference. But though he may have had only a bit part in this NUT's passion play, he could at least boast of having made a bolder entrance than the Secretary of State and her shadow. Mr Foster strode fearlessly through the front doors of the hall, and only the cruellest delegates suggested he could do so because nobody recognised him.

My 8 Minute Ripple Experience
Last Thursday night was a real experience for me. I had hurt my ankle the previous weekend so I was on crutches and not very mobile. Because I wasn't able to do my typical walking around thing during The 8 Minute Ripple, I was actually able to participate as a Rippler. Boy let me tell you, it was an incredible experience.
To be honest, a few of the people I Rippled with, I already knew pretty well but that didn't matter because you can always learn more about someone. The questions we used, the conversations that ensued, the amazing things I discovered about these people was nothing short of amazing. Despite the more than annoying pain radiating from my ankle, I was having the time of my life! And honestly it helped me reconnect with why I created The 8 Minute Ripple in the first place so many years ago.
You see, connecting is a whole lot of fun when you'll let yourself be open to it and truly experience it for what it is. At an 8 Minute Ripple, it's almost impossible to find yourself not into it based on the safe fun environment we create within the event. Granted it's a surreal experience, asking strangers random questions and getting responses back that give you a real sense of who the person is sitting next to you. It's so much more powerful and enlightening than what you would ever find at a "traditional networking" event where the most original question you'll be asked is "So what do you do?"
Thursday night reminded me of what is possible when you get two people together for a conversation without the pretense of a 30 second elevator speech or force feeding a conversation about one another's business interest. It continued to show me what a well placed question can create amongst two (often) strangers who will leave The 8 Minute Ripple as anything but. The Ripple after all these years still showed me it isn't a better way to build your network, it is the way to build your network.
The injury to my ankle was unfortunate but timely as it allowed me to see things from a new perspective. It relit the fire and the commitment to create more Ripple events and experiences and to help people see there is a better way to build your personal and professional network.
Clearly we have some work to do but I'm ready for it. Now if I could only get off these darn crutches.
Ripple On!!!
P.S. If you're interested in bringing an 8 Minute Ripple to your city, networking group or conference event, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

What Should Happen To Expired Domains? 134
A good example of why expired domains should be allowed back into the pool comes in the form of another question from Jonathan Mendelson: "I was recently searching to see if mendelson.net was available, and it surprised me to see that Network Solutions was holding it. I used the whois function to find out more, and I saw that their record expired on Nov. 14, 1999. This makes it appear that they are holding the domain illegally. Are they allowed to do this, and if not, is there any action that I can take to prevent them doing so? Is there any particular reason that they might be holding it, and might there be other domains with which they are doing the same?"
Of course, an answer (in the form of another question, obviously) might be found in this bit from conf00sledBynsi who asks:
"There is a domain name I am interested in, which is not being used. It was originally registered in March of 1988, and has not been reregistered, so it has 'lapsed' for over three months, but Network Solutions has not released it for re-registration yet. After a couple of emails to Network Solutions, I received the following reply:
Does anybody know how long their 'billing cycle' is, or what their algorithm is for determining when to release a domain name? For that matter, has anybody figured out their algorithm for when, exactly, during a particular day the database is updated?"---------------------
Thank you for contacting Network Solutions.
The expiration date that shows in WHOIS is not the date that a domain name becomes available to be registered by another party.
The expiration date appears in the WHOIS database so that the registrant may be able to verify how long they have locked in there domain name registration.
The registrant still has until the end of the billing cycle before the domain name is deleted, and released to be registered by the public.
We do not release the date a domain name will be deleted from our database to third parties. Please continue to check the availability of the domain name on a day to day basis. As long as it is registered our system will not allow you to register the name. Once it is deleted, the name is able to be registered on a first come first serve basis.
There are no waiting list for domain name registrations.
Could it be, that by arbitrarily defining their "billing cycle" NSI is able to hold on to domains that have been expired for years. I would think that your normal business cycle is measured in months so this seems rather fishy to me. Might NSI be squatting on their own domains?

It probably wasn't the race Ballarat trainer Darren Weir had in mind for this Saturday's Doomben meeting, but the combination of an untimely injury to stable-star Trust In A Gust and the emergence of Master Of Arts, means Weir will figure in the Queensland Derby rather than the Stradbroke Handicap as planned. Weir's charge ran an unlucky second in the G2 Grand Prix Stakes, traditionally the best form reference for this race, is on the second line of betting at $5.50 behind New Zealand's Werther, impressive winner of last week's G2 Eagle Farm Cup. Only Upham, winner of the Grand Prix Stakes, in the remainder of the capacity field is under double figure odds at $9.00. Chris Waller has three runners entered with the pick of his trio according to the market being Saddler's Lake ($10.00). The High Chaparral gelding who likes to roll along out in front can't take a trick when it comes to the barrier draws though and for the third consecutive time, as drawn a double-figure barrier.
Special Offer: $501 BONUS BET – Sportsbet
1. WERTHER – Jim Byrne (1)
Proved much too good when taking on the older horses in last week's G2 Eagle Farm Cup (2200m), running out a comprehensive 2.3 length victor. That continued his outstanding recent form which has seen him win three of his last five outings and the son of Tavistock is primed to better that strike rate again here after drawing perfectly in gate one.
2. UPHAM – Kerrin McEvoy (12)
Rewarded for his recent consistent performances with a 1.3 length win in last fortnight's G3 Grand Prix Stakes, defeating Redoutable Heart and the unlucky Master Of Arts. A ten out of ten ride by McEvoy last start saw the Peter Moody trained galloper in the box seat throughout. It'll require a similar effort from the same Jockey again this weekend, for as he did last start, the son of Mastercraftsman as again drawn wider out. An honest galloper who only needs half a chance in the run to be competitive.
3. SADLER'S LAKE – Blake Shinn (18)
Dominated from the front to take out the G3 Rough Habit Plate (2000m) two starts back before the early work from a wide barrier when contesting the G3 Grand Prix Stakes, took its toll late and he finished fifth (1.8 lengths) behind Upham. Very good effort last start despite being unplaced given he draw the widest gate in a big field and was never given a moment's piece up front. Unfortunately, after Wednesday's barrier draw, the Chris Waller trained galloper faces a similar task this weekend.
4. JUMBO PRINCE – Timothy Bell (10)
An improving colt from the Michael Nolen stables, the son of Outback Prince has produced solid runs in the G3 Rough Habit and G3 Grand Prix Stakes at his two most recent outings. He finished strongly from midfield to run third to Sadler's Lake – who dominated from the front, in the Rough Habit before drawing wide and pushing forward in the Grand Prix, where he stuck on tenaciously for sixth (1.9 lengths) behind Upham. Showing good form in all of the right lead-up race and should get a smoother run in transit this weekend compared to last start.
5. MAGICOOL – James Winks (17)
After running fourth behind impressive filly Delicacy in the SA Derby, (Werther third) the Mark Kavanagh trained runner returned to Flemington where he toughed out a neck win over Kenjorwood in the Banjo Paterson Series Heat (2000m). Good effort last time out against the older horses and the softer track in the SA Derby, the form out of which is very good, probably wasn't his preferred conditions. Has shown enough in recent runs to warrant some consideration but the draw will make this tough.
Special Offer 2: $500 BONUS BET – Ladbrokes
6. WORTH CAUSE – Justin Stanley (11)
Secured a lovely run from the inside gate when contesting the Sunshine Coast Guineas (1600m) two starts back but was no match for subsequent Oaks winner Winx late, finishing third (3.3 lengths), before dropping back in the field from his wide gate in the G3 Grand Prix Stakes (2020m). He was winding up nicely inside the final 100m and crossed the line in seventh spot (3.2 lengths) behind Upham. It looks as though the distance will suit Rob Heathcote's galloper and did beat Upham comfortably recently on the Gold Coast.
7. HIGH MIDNIGHT – Tim Clark (7)
The High Chaparral gelding made it two wins in a row and three from six overall with a slugging finishing in a BM 72 (2000m) at Randwick a fortnight ago. Got a lovely run last time out and whilst he's an improving type from the right yard – Bart and James Cummings, an event of this nature might be a bit early in his career at this stage.
8. QUICK STRIKE – Tommy Berry (9)
Given a month off after finishing fifth (2.1 lengths) in the ATC Derby and was good late in a BM 75 (1500m) at Rosehill before travelling north and contesting the G3 Grand Prix Stakes (2020m). The Chris Waller trained galloper tracked into the race nicely as the speed picked up leaving the 600m but was dour in the run home, finishing eleventh (4.1 lengths) behind Upham. Fitter and longer again suits however, appears to have too much to turn around on that run to be winning here.
9. REDOUTABLE HEART – James McDonald (2)
He was given every chance in the G3 Grand Prix Stakes and ran his typically honest race, finishing second (1.3 lengths) to Upham and had drawn a gate that should see him get a very similar run here. The well-bred son of Redoute's Choice has only missed a place once in six starts but still only has the one win to his name.
10. MASTER OF ARTS – Glen Boss
Originally with Warwick Farm trainer Joe Pride, this son of Mastercraftsman has been quickly making a name for himself under the guidance of Ballarat Trainer Darren Weir. He recorded a head win at Caulfield over 2000m before lining up as an $8 chance in the G3 Grand Prix Stakes at Doomben a fortnight where he experience nothing but bad luck in the straight when looking for a run. He crossed the line in third position (1.4 lengths) but with more room, may have given Upham something to worry about late. Improving type who will be hard to beat here.
11. CHILLIN WITH DYLAN – Ryan Wiggins (19)
The Dylan Thomas colt only has the one win from fourteen starts to his name but despite the poor record, his closing efforts in both the Rough Habit Plate and Grand Prix Stakes, where he finished fourth in both (beaten 3.4 lengths and 1.4 lengths respectively), see him as a live chance here. The Ben Currie trained galloper look as though he'll enjoy the 2200m trip on the weekend and just needs to be within striking distance on the turn – which unfortunately after Wednesday's barrier trial was conducted, doesn't look like being the case. May have to give them too much start.
12. THERMOGENIC – Craig Williams (6)
The half-brother to Group 1 winner Nechita recorded his second career win at Flemington in his most recent outing (3yo Handicap over 1600m) courtesy of a great ride from Craig Williams. The Phillip Stokes representative tried his hand at a few better races in the past and in most of them, been well accounted for. He won't find this event any easier than his previous races and despite having a good gate and jockey in his corner, looks to be a bit out of his comfort zone here.
13. INAGURATION – Hugh Bowman (3)
Experienced a horror run in the G3 Grand Prix Stakes at his most recent out, posted three deep for the duration of the race, and no surprise to see him drop out in the straight and finish fourteenth (7.1 lengths) behind stable-mate Upham. Previous start saw him close steadily from near last in the G3 Rough Habit Plate (2020m) to run 3.7 lengths fifth behind Saddler's Lake who dictated proceedings from in front. Should secure a lovely run here from three and that could see a sharp improvement however, for him to be among the leading contenders, would like to see a little bit of give in the ground.
Was sent out favourite for the 3yo race at 2200m at Ipswich at his most recent start and after securing a lovely run throughout, didn't let punters down, saluting by head. That was only his second win from twelve starts and it had to be a lot more impressive than it was for him to be giving a serious hope here.
Special Offer 3: $300 BONUS BET – Luxbet
15. SPUR ON GOLD – Michael Cahill (16)
Racing well of late for trainer Pat Carey and has some form around the likes of Ungrateful Ellen and Master Of Arts in Melbourne. The Flying Spur gelding's last start saw him finishing strongly from near last in a big field, to run a head second to Unfurl at Caulfield over 2000m. Trainer excels with stayers and this guy has his fair share of ability however, from a wide gate, first go the reverse way of racing, would be happy to shop around him.
Finally at his most recent outing, start number sixteen, his patient connections were rewarded with his maiden win on the Gold Coast in a 0-65 Handicap (1800m). Nothing in that run though, or his previous fifteen, that would suggest he could be competitive in this race.
17. ALLZIN – (14) (1st EM)
Caught in the final stages by Rising Luck in a 2200m race at Ipswich at his most recent outing and whist that continued his run of steady form, he'll find this grade much tougher, especially from his wider gate, and will struggle.
18. HARRY – (4) (2nd EM)
New Zealand who, after winning two of his first three starts, was shipped across the Tasman by trainer Murray Baker to contest the G3 Grand Prix Stakes (2020m). Although finishing twelfth, he was only 4.3 lengths from the winner Upham and it was a commendable effort so early in his career. Will continue to improve but maybe not a rate quick enough that, should he get a run, he'd be winning here.
Chased home the smart Werther two starts back in New Zealand when fourth (5.4 lengths) in the Championship Stakes (2100m) before travelling to Queensland for last fortnight's G3 Grand Prix Stakes. He settled just of the speed but couldn't go with them when the pressure started to pick up approaching the turn and dropped out to finish last of the sixteen runners. Can't see him winning here off of that effort.
Good pace here with Saddler's Lake, Upham and Magicool, who have all drawn wide, likely to all push forward and get a spot before the field leave the straight for the first time. Having drawn gate 1, the favourite Werther will be able to track the good speed and only needs a touch of luck turning for home to increase is already handy strike rate. He has drawn poorly (again) but don't dismiss Saddler's Lake at that factor alone. With a touch of luck early, he may be able to get a breather some time mid-race and prove hard to run down. Master Of Arts should've been right in the finish last time out, is improving rapidly with each run and will be right in the mix here. Value chances to Worthy Cause, Jumbo Prince and Chillin With Dylan.

In coming weeks doctoral applications in planning are due. Why apply?
For professional planners, a PhD sometimes sounds interesting compared with doing a regular job in a municipality. Some designers remember studio professors who seemed to float into class, unprepared, for a few hours per week. Compared with the ups and downs of private design practice, this can seem quite appealing. Of course, some people genuinely like studying and research, want to make a contribution in that area, and have a flair for teaching.

Wonkbook's Number of the Day: $1.5 trillion. That's the amount of deposits at small banks which will lose expanded protection from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at the end of the year, according to a story by Alan Zibel, Corey Boles, and Ben Kesling of The Wall Street Journal. During the financial crisis, the FDIC temporarily issued unlimited deposit guarantees on zero-interest accounts used by businesses and local governments to meet payroll. In 2013, only the first $250,000 in deposits will receive FDIC coverage. For more, see Wonkbook's special coverage of the financial industry below.
Wonkblog's Graph of the Day: We need $2 trillion more in deficit reduction to stabilize the debt-to-GDP ratio for the next decade.
Today in Wonkbook: a critical week ahead for the austerity crisis; the financial sector; the new Congress; it's the economy, stupid; fixing the filibuster; implementing the Affordable Care Act; slashing the web; the energy revolution.
Top story: Austerity-crisis negotiations enter critical week
Obama, Boehner meet on 'fiscal cliff.' "President Obama and House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) met Sunday afternoon at the White House to continue discussions over how to avert the 'fiscal cliff,' their first in-person gathering in nearly a month as the deadline to avert a massive tax hike is fast approaching." Ed O'Keefe and Paul Kane in The Washington Post.
@ReformedBroker: Should I read this new article about the Fiscal Cliff or just set myself on fire?
That's a good thing, because time is running short. "The contours of a deal to avert the year-end fiscal cliff are becoming increasingly clear. But progress has been slow, and time is running out for leaders to seal an agreement and sell it to restless lawmakers who so far have been given little information...Lawmakers say action this week is vital if Obama and Boehner hope to win approval by the end of the year for complex, bipartisan legislation that would raise taxes, push down social-safety-net spending and lift the federal debt limit." Lori Montgomery and Paul Kane in The Washington Post.
@mattyglesias: First real fiscal cliff behavioral response I've seen--developer of the house I'm buying is desperate to close by December 31.
How the White House could protect middle class from tax hikes if deficit talks falter. "The White House has the power to temporarily protect taxpayers from middle-class tax hikes even as upper income rates rise if Congress does nothing and all of the Bush-era tax rates expire in January. Experts and lawmakers alike agree that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has the power to adjust how much is withheld from paychecks for tax purposes -- for all taxpayers or just for some." Peter Schroeder and Bernie Becker in The Hill.
@AndyHarless: It seems almost insane that employment indicators are holding up so well less than 2 months before the fiscal cliff hits.
What a deal, if one can be made, might look like. "Talk to smart folks in Washington, and here's what they think will happen: The final tax deal will raise rates a bit, giving Democrats a win, but not all the way back to 39.6 percent, giving Republicans a win. That won't raise enough revenue on its own, so it will be combined with some policy to cap tax deductions, perhaps at $25,000 or $50,000, with a substantial phase-in and an exemption for charitable contributions. The harder question is what Republicans will get on the spending side of the deal. But even that's not such a mystery. There will be a variety of nips and tucks to Medicare, including more cost-sharing and decreases in provider payments, and the headline Democratic concession is likely to be that the Medicare eligibility age rises from 65 to 67." Ezra Klein in The Washington Post.
@mattyglesias: I don't think this deal is likely. If White House doesn't get total win on taxes, they won't give this much up
What about the GOP's inflation-recalculation proposal? "Republican leaders are pushing what looks like a relatively painless method of slowing federal spending, one that alters how the government calculates annual cost-of-living increases for an array of programs...Using a different inflation measure would mean smaller annual increases in the size of Social Security checks, federal pensions and veterans' benefits...On the tax side, the size of the standard deduction and income thresholds for various tax brackets also would rise more slowly, making more income taxable, and at higher rates." John D. McKinnon in The Wall Street Journal.
We've already passed deep spending cuts. But nobody talks about them. "Last year's debt-ceiling agreement included $1.5 trillion in cuts to discretionary programs through 10-year spending caps that are already in effect. According to a new analysis by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the domestic programs subject to the spending caps will face a $615 billion shortfall if they keep their benefits and services at 2012 levels." Suzy Khimm in The Washington Post.

HUNT: Why big political money still matters, even after the 2012 flameout. "The fears that big money would corrupt the political process in 2012 weren't realized, the conventional wisdom says. The fat cats, unshackled by U.S. Supreme Court and lower court decisions, weren't able to buy the presidency or the Senate. True. It also misses the point...The flood of outside money weakened political parties." Albert R. Hunt inBloomberg.
KRUGMAN: Robots and robber barons. "The American economy is still, by most measures, deeply depressed. But corporate profits are at a record high. How is that possible? It's simple: profits have surged as a share of national income, while wages and other labor compensation are down. The pie isn't growing the way it should -- but capital is doing fine by grabbing an ever-larger slice, at labor's expense. Wait -- are we really back to talking about capital versus labor? Isn't that an old-fashioned, almost Marxist sort of discussion, out of date in our modern information economy?" Paul Krugman in The New York Times.
WEINGARTEN: A 'bar exam' for teachers. "[T]he American Federation of Teachers has developed a proposal for an unprecedented leap in elevating the quality of the teaching profession. Instead of the current hodgepodge approach to teacher certification and licensing, we propose that all prospective teachers in the United States take a rigorous bar exam that gauges mastery of subject-matter knowledge and demonstrates competency in how to teach it. The process could be modeled after the bar exam for lawyers or the board certification of medical doctors." Randi Weingarten in The Wall Street Journal.
CAREY: Higher ed needs standards. "[T]here are no meaningful standards of academic quality in higher education. And the more colleges and universities move their courses online, the more severe the problem gets...[T]he most promising solution would be to replace the anachronistic credit hour with common standards for what college students actually need to know and to be able to do. There are many routes to doing this. In the arts and sciences, scholarly associations could define and update what it means to be proficient in a field. So could professional organizations and employers in vocational and technical fields." Kevin Carey in The New York Times.

Finance, taxed and regulated
Has Wall Street's day of reckoning arrived? "The nation's largest banks are facing a fresh torrent of lawsuits asserting that they sold shoddy mortgage securities that imploded during the financial crisis, potentially adding significantly to the tens of billions of dollars the banks have already paid to settle other cases...Estimates of potential costs from these cases vary widely, but some in the banking industry fear they could reach $300 billion if the institutions lose all of the litigation." Jessica Silver-Greenberg in The New York Times.
Small banks gird for loss of guarantee. "Small banks are making a last-ditch attempt to persuade Congress to extend a crisis-era blanket guarantee on nearly $1.5 trillion in deposits before it expires at the end of the year...Barring action by Congress, the FDIC on Dec. 31 will stop providing an unlimited guarantee on zero-interest bank accounts used by businesses and municipalities for payroll and other services. The guarantee would then revert to the normal $250,000 in insurance per depositor at any given bank. If the guarantee isn't extended, FBR Capital Markets estimates as much as $250 billion in deposits could flow out of smaller banks to large banks or big money-market mutual funds." Alan Zibel, Corey Boles, and Ben Kesling in The Wall Street Journal.
Are regulators getting 'protectionist'? "The US central bank has followed up with news that it plans to meet on Friday to discuss heightened capital and liquidity rules for overseas banks...During the past few years some US branches have shifted from borrowing from their overseas headquarters and lending in the US, to collecting dollar funding for their corporate parents, which use the money elsewhere." Shahien Nasiripour and Brooke Masters in The Financial Times.
VIARD: The tax on savings you didn't know about. "Scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, the tax, which was adopted as part of the 2010 health-care law, is a 3.8 percent levy on interest, dividends, capital gains and passive business income received by taxpayers with incomes exceeding $200,000 (or $250,000 for couples)."

The new (113th) Congress
Here come the old hands. "The 2010 election, with its throw-the-bums-out, antigovernment furor, swept into office a host of people who had no government experience. There was an exterminator, a dentist, a youth minister and a pizza man. But this year, voters sent many of those people packing. In their place will be a class of career bureaucrats and policy wonks who, after two years of intransigence and dysfunction on Capitol Hill, make up what could be characterized as the anti-antigovernment wave. These members, many of whom ran on a promise to break the seemingly endless impasse in Washington, will face their first test early."Jeremy W. Peters in The New York Times.

Monetary stimulus program to push ahead. "The Federal Reserve is widely expected to announce on Wednesday that it will continue buying Treasury securities to stimulate growth in the new year." Binyamin Appelbaum in The New York Times.

"Influential senators, fearful of Majority Leader Harry Reid's threat to jam filibuster changes through the Senate early next year, have begun back-channel talks to avoid what critics dub the 'nuclear option.'…They're alarmed that the move could fundamentally change the Senate: Future majorities could cite such a precedent to change whatever rules they want in an institution designed to protect the rights of the minority." Manu Raju in Politico.

Implementing the Affordable Care Act
GOP governors seek leeway on Medicaid expansion. "Republican governors are ratcheting up pressure on President Obama to scale back a key provision of his health-care law. In a letter to Obama last week, 11 governors asked for a meeting 'as soon as possible' to negotiate for greater control over their Medicaid programs. Among other things, the governors want the option of expanding Medicaid -- the state-federal program for the poor and disabled -- in a much more modest way than envisioned in the law." N.C. Aizenman in The Washington Post.
Interview: Doug Holtz-Eakin on the conservative case for implementing Obamacare.
Medicaid expansion scorecard: 17 states say yes, 9 say no. "Tallying up state decisions on the Medicaid expansion is a bit of a squishy science. States don't have to make any official declarations, so we have to rely on what governors pledge. That doesn't necessarily predict the future." Sarah Kliff in The Washington Post.
...But prices remain opaque in health care, as seen in a reporter's quest. "My doctor didn't know, I got transferred to radiology, I got transferred to billing. Billing said they would call me back. They didn't. I couldn't even get a ballpark estimate." Martha Bebinger in Kaiser Health News.

Slashing the web
Autocrats want to clamp down on libertarian Internet. "An unexpected new proposal for international regulation of the internet drew warnings over the weekend of a spread of online censorship and left a global conference on the issue on the edge of collapse. The deep divisions over treatment of the internet came after a group of Arab states put forward a plan late on Friday that would require countries around the world to explicitly regulate internet companies. The proposal, made at a conference in Dubai to agree a new international telecoms treaty, has also won the backing of Russia and China, along with a group of other countries. The pitch for direct regulation came as an unwelcome surprise to delegations from the US and other countries that have supported the current light system of regulation for the internet." Simeon Kerr and Richard Waters in The Financial Times.
CROVITZ: Delete the would-be Internet regulators. "In a referendum among the world's two billion Internet users, how many would vote to transfer control of the Internet to the United Nations? Perhaps 100,000, an estimate based on the number of top officials ruling the most authoritarian countries, whose power is threatened by the open Web...The International Telecommunications Union is hosting a conference in Dubai, where many countries are eager to extend the agency's role beyond telecommunications to regulate the Internet. The two-week conference is half over, with meddlesome proposals from China, Russia and other authoritarian regimes dominating the discussion." L. Gordon Crovitz in The Wall Street Journal.
Smart animals interlude: Monkey does holiday shopping at Ikea.
The energy revolution
Obama expected to approve gradual expansion of natural-gas exports. "Marvin Odum, the head of Royal Dutch Shell's U.S. arm, predicts the federal government will provide a green light for expanded exports of natural gas…The Energy Department (DOE) is weighing 15 politically controversial applications to export over 21 billion cubic feet of liquefied natural gas per day to nations that don't have free-trade agreements with the U.S." Ben German in The Hill.
How the natural-gas boom has affected LNG transport. "[T]he international trade in natural gas — and the rest of the energy business — has been turned upside down. It's as startling as it would be if rivers decided to run upstream. As recently as four years ago, energy experts agreed that the United States would need to import LNG to fill the gap between rising U.S. consumption of natural gas and stagnant or diminishing domestic supplies." Steven Mufson in The Washington Post.
How much can the EPA cut carbon emissions? "It would be easy for the EPA to devise a carbon policy for power plants that was fairly uncontroversial -- the agency would just require small emissions cuts at coal power plants via standard techniques, such as biomass co-firing or improved efficiency. But this would only be a small tweak. Bigger, more ambitious cuts would take some creativity. But more ambitious plans also run the risk of getting struck down." Brad Plumer in The Washington Post.
PEARLSTEIN: A natural gas tax? "Who will get to grab [the natural gas] windfall -- the energy industry or its customers? I don't know about you, but I'm having a hard time deciding which team to root for in this contest. While free trade tends to benefit the whole economy over the long run, increasing the overall size of the economic pie, there are times when it can also have a pronounced effect on how the pie is divided. This would seem to be one of those times." Steven Pearlstein in The Washington Post.
O'GRADY: The great North American gusher. "President Obama has promised to get the anemic U.S. economy going again by boosting exports...The obvious export opportunity on the horizon for the U.S. is hydrocarbons—oil, gas and coal...Since becoming president, Mr. Obama has treated hydrocarbon production like an infectious disease to be eradicated. His administration had to commission a study to learn, as announced last week, that allowing American companies to export liquefied natural gas would be beneficial to the U.S. economy. Still, the Department of Energy says it can't make 'final determinations' on export applications until it hears from those who object. So much for property rights." Mary Anastasia O'Grady in The Wall Street Journal.

Forget Harry and Sally, Mr & Mrs Smith, or even Ross and Rachel - for those who understand love, Homer and Marge Simpson are the ultimate couple.
Rocking the pot belly and zero thoughts in his yellow head, Homer has never been unsure about loving Marge. Obviously able to do a million times better than Homer, the sweet, intelligent and blue-haired Marge has loved her husband enough to stay by his side despite his constant screw ups.
But The Simpsons fandom panicked when they heard Executive producer Al Jean say in an interview to Variety:
"In the premiere, it's discovered after all the years Homer has narcolepsy (a sleep disorder) and it's an incredible strain on the marriage." He added, "Homer and Marge legally separate, and Homer falls in love with his pharmacist," a character who's voiced by (Girls creator and star) Lena Dunham.

However, just five hours later the news went viral, @TheSimpsons tweeted the following, leaving the fans relieved albeit confused.

In anticipation of the 27th season of the show, let's celebrate the five sweetest things this power couple has taught us about love.
Sometimes it's just about not letting go
The best part about being loved is knowing the other person will put up with your nonsense
Being loved can restore your faith in humanity
It's ok to want someone to take care of you every now and then.
A couple is more than two individuals, it's a team.
Let's hope that the humorous and heartfelt journey of Marge and Homer is far from over.

The week in women's wrestling began on Raw with Sasha Banks, Dana Brooke, and Bayley fighting for a Raw Women's Championship opportunity:
SmackDown Live featured the search for a new contender for Becky Lynch's SmackDown Women's Championship:
On the following evening's NXT, the budding Liv Morgan faced off against the villainous Rachel Fazio:
A #1 Contender's Gauntlet Match took place on the following evening's Impact Wrestling:
And that's the week in a nutshell! Thoughts:
At long last, Chelsea Green made her official Knockouts debut this past Thursday, doing so under the name Laurel Van Ness. Laurel was brought in by Maria Kanellis as a replacement for Allie, continuing Maria's abuse towards her assistant, and also establishing Laurel as a villainess. In the match, the evil Laurel eliminated Madison Rayne and Marti Bell before being eliminated by the match's winner, Gail Kim. Chelsea, of course, is coming off being a finalist on WWE's Tough Enough, which also featured fellow TNA Knockout Gabi "Raquel" Castrovinci. Before that, Chelsea made a memorable appearance on Raw as the villainous Megan Miller.
The latest edition of NXT featured Rachael Ellering making another jobber appearance. However, unlike her past appearances, Rachael displayed a villainous persona; entering with a heel demeanor and look. She also went by the name, Rachel Fazio; I'm guessing due to the fact that her father, Paul Ellering, appeared later in the program. I did like Rachel's heel persona, and if she does get signed, I could see some scenario where the evil Rachel aligns with her father and the Authors of Pain.
Happy early birthday to WWE's Red Queen, Eva Marie, who will turn 32 tomorrow! Eva Marie received an early birthday present today, as her suspension officially ended. Before that, it was reported that Eva Marie will appear in an upcoming movie, Inconceivable, which will star Nicolas Cage and Nicky Whelan. Eva will play Angela, the wife of Cage's character, and the couple brings in an abused mother named Katie (Whelan), along with her young daughter. Angela notices odd behavior from Katie that makes her question what Katie's true intentions are. No word on when the film will be released (obviously sometime in 2017), but filming will begin next month.
Hard to believe that this year marks a decade since Trish and Lita retired. Saturday was the actual 10 year anniversary of Trish's retirement, as she defeated Lita to win her seventh and final Women's Championship. Lita retired two months later after her appearance at Survivor Series. In the time that has passed since then, Trish had made a few guest appearances on WWE TV, and has also acted in a pair of movies. Lita recently became part of WWE as a producer and a trainer, and she currently appears on the WWE Network's pre-shows for Raw, SmackDown, Takeover events, and WWE PPVs. Both women are Hall of Famers; Trish was inducted in 2013, and Lita got in a year later.
Even so, I've often wish for Trish and Lita to team up one more time, and to do so as heels. In the six years that they've co-existed in WWE, we've seen Heel Trish vs Face Lita, then the two were together as babyfaces beginning in 2001. Trish turned heel in 2004 and feuded with Lita again, and the end of both of their careers had Trish as a babyface against a heel Lita. They've never been together as heels, so when they teased a match between them and the Bellas, I was hoping for that to happen. I could see Trish and Lita attacking the Bellas from behind, and then leading to the match, the evil Trish could denigrate the Bellas for "ruining women's wrestling, while the evil Lita could agree with her villainous cohort and also berate the fans for supporting "women like them." Their "planned match" was for WrestleMania, and I could see Trish and Lita shedding their villainous personas after their bout and showing respect to the Bellas, regardless of the outcome.
A new week begins tomorrow, and is the final countdown to Clash of Champions! TNA is also on the home stretch for Bound For Glory, and we'll see what will happen with the KOs this week!

So it's just one computer? If the user logs onto another computer it works fine?
Can you map the drive manually?

Yes, 1 computer out of 30 Windows 7 machines here.
The drives map fine when the user account logs into another Win 7 or Win XP machine.
I am unable to map the drives manually, as the shares are not even showing up if I browse directly to them. "...location is unavailable..." There are several shares located on this same file server and I am able to get to some of them, but not all.

Are these basic Windows machines or created off of an image?
Are you sure the machine is connected to the domain? Try removing it from the domain and re-adding it. Check active directory and delete it from there as well before re-adding it.
Oct 14, 2011 at 11:33 UTC
THe machines are basic and were not created off an image. This machine has been in use for about 13 months with no issues until today. I will remove and re-add it to the domain. I believe it is connected, as all other domain and GPO activity appears to be working fine. Thanks!
Oct 14, 2011 at 11:41 UTC
If it's been working that long then I suspect maybe a Windows update that is causing a problem or possibly it's infected with a virus or spyware of some sort.
It's obvious that it is the machine, and if nothing has changed and it just started acting up then it has to be something automatically applied like windows updates, windows firewall or third party, antivirus, or it has a virus.
You could check the windows firewall and AV and try disabling them if turned on just for testing.
Oct 14, 2011 at 11:44 UTC
Edit the host file to add the server. Does this machine have a static IP or DHCP? If not, try giving it a static IP.

Check to make sure the Windows 7 firewall on the client is turned off.
All three things should be set to no.

RJosh, prior to even reading your post, I noticed quickly that the other shares that were being mapped were status "OFFLINE". I set the folders to Online, forced GPUPDATE, rebooted, and bam, all shares are back. No idea how it went offline and the user has no idea either.
Thanks everyone for the ideas.

Trust income and gains: vulnerable beneficiaries: non resident vulnerable person - vulnerable person who is physically disabled
The definition in TSEM3421 of a physically disabled person is a person in receipt of either attendance allowance or a disability living allowance by virtue of entitlement to the care component at the highest or middle rate. There is a residency requirement for entitlement to these allowances and so a non-resident person will not be able to receive them.
However a non-resident beneficiary may still be treated as a vulnerable person as long as they can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the HMRC officer dealing with the tax affairs of the settlement that they would have been entitled to receive either allowance had the necessary residence requirements been met. In such circumstances the non-resident beneficiary is not making an actual application for the allowances themselves and so DWP will not be involved.
It is up to the trustees and the vulnerable person to establish and provide the details that are required, as the vulnerable person would have to do if they were making an actual claim to either of the allowances. They must also supply the supporting evidence. The details and supporting evidence must be provided at the time the election is made (TSEM3455). If they are not the election will not be valid.
Further details of the attendance and disability living allowances themselves can be found on the website for the Department for Work and Pensions. External customers can find the guidance at www.dwp.gov.uk. This also provides details of the information that would be needed to make claims for them. Anyone enquiring about the allowances or the qualifying conditions should be referred to the DWP website.

Darren Criss Hosts Preview of GLEE's Upcoming 'New New York'
GLEE breakout star and Broadway headliner Darren Criss joins with fellow Glee standout Chord Overstreet to host a preview of the upcoming "New New York" episode of the hit musical dramedy series airing later this week.
The official description of GLEE's "New New York" is as follows: "Having left Lima following graduation, Blaine, Sam and Artie join Rachel and Kurt in New York. While Kurt and Blaine begin to settle into their newfound domestic bliss, Kurt grows increasingly frustrated by the omnipresence of couch-surfing Sam... but is Sam the sole cause of Kurt's intensifying feelings of claustrophobia? Meanwhile, Sam has grown more and more discouraged by his lack of success since arriving in NYC. Blaine tries to boost his Lima bestie's flagging spirits, inspiring Sam to re-attack his modeling career with a renewed sense of vigor. And Artie - who seems to have taken to The Hustle and bustle of New York City like a fish to water - has his characteristic confidence shaken to the core when a mugger steals his laptop. Back in New York following an out-of-town run of Funny Girl, Rachel is surprised by a luxurious 'thank you' gift from the show's producers in the form of a private car and driver, at her disposal 24/7. While she first views the gift as something well deserved and a boon to be flaunted, she soon realizes her good fortune may come at a greater cost to her friendships, and to herself. And Blaine begins to worry about the blossoming friendship between Kurt and his bandmate Elliott, leading Blaine to confront 'Starchild' about his intentions towards his fiancée, and forcing a decision about the future of Blaine and Kurt's relationship."
GLEE airs Tuesdays at 8 PM on FOX.
View the new preview of GLEE's "New New York" below.

Thnak you
While you have trademark rights through use ("First in use is first in right"), there are several advantages to registering a trademark with the US Trademark Office:
1. Once a mark is registered (principal register), there is a presumption of trademark ownership and validity in any subsequent litigation involving the trademark.
2. Trademark registration also creates what is called "actual notice" or "constructive notice," which informs all parties that the trademark is the exclusive property of the trademark owner, and which also allows the owner to recover profits or damages for trademark infringement.
3. Judicial remedies are broader. A trademark owner can be awarded treble damages against an infringer whose infringement was deemed to be "willful". In addition, there is the possibility that the court would award attorney fees in exceptional cases where the infringement was deemed malicious.
4. Registration (principal register) usually provides the trademark owner with rights in the mark for a larger geographical area (i.e. nationwide) than is otherwise possible.
5. The scope of protection for a federally registered mark is usually much broader in that it encompasses related products or services, rather than a specific product or service.
6. Your mark may become "incontestable" after 5 years.
You should look for an experienced trademark attorney who does work on a fixed basis. An example of this is http://BealBusinessLaw.com/fixedfees.htm under "Intellectual Property".
I do not know all the facts of your case, and I do not legally represent you.

Attorney Beal has provided some excellent advice, and you're smart to hire a lawyer to help you get your trademark. About 1/2 of all trademark applications are rejected, and I bet that many if not most of those are done without the benefit of a lawyer.
The fact that you've been using the mark for 10 years (and you haven't mentioned anyone contesting your TM in that time), may mean that you'll have an easy time with this application, but maybe not, you never know what the USPTO is going to come back with.

Ask them about regrets they've had in their life and say you don't want any in yours. Let them know that this is not an over the night decision and you don't expect them to come to terms with it over night either but you love and respect them to much to lie and longer and you relies ed that you do need them on your journey when they are ready, that you are sure. This is something super important to you and you hope that they can love you, differences and all. That you won't give up on them just as you hope they won't give up on you. Goodluck Love!00|00|0
