im abig fan of sonic the hedgehog so this is great! ^_^
As am I. I've always loved the 90's Sonic. He's "way past cool".
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I hope the music in Project Needle Mouse is good as this.
P.S: Project Needle Mouse is the next Sonic game that will be released sometime in 2010. It will be 2d so calm down.
They'll seriously finally release a new 2D sonic game?! That's freaking awesome.
Thanks for the review and I'm proud of myself now because you're my first 100 comments.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
When someone can take a song and completely make a whole new song out of it, but manage to keep the essence of the original, that's a true sign of talent. Unfortunately, I can't rate this song 5,000, so you'll just have to settle for a rating of 10.
Can I use this song for the intro to a Sonic playthrough of mine on YouTube? You'll get all the credit for the song of course.
Hehe. Thank you. A very kind review. :)
Sure. You're free to use it as you please. Thanks for asking. :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Good old days...
Sonic the hedgehog was my favorite character from when i was 4 year old!and he'll still be forever.iremember i was playing in sonic 2 with my 2 year brother on my genesis(he actually just died in that game,he wasn't a good player but,he was having fun,and he did help me some times,lol)this music is going to my mp3!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
A good song, but
It's not really much to do with Green Hill. It doesn't sound like it at all I'm afraid.
However, it's catchy. So a 7.
Actually, if you listen carefully you can hear that it's green hill since I changed the scales to Minor instead of Major. But I'm aware that people usually don't agree with remixes straining too far from the original. Thanks for your review and thanks for your 7.

Game of the Week: Woodbury vs. East Ridge baseball
Two rivals battling for position in the Suburban East Conference will square off Friday at Royals Stadium.
The matchup pits Woodbury against District 833 rival East Ridge - two teams that have struggled this season to find consistency in the win column.
What's at stake
In a word, momentum.
East Ridge comes off a two-game win streak, having beaten Roseville and Park this week at home. Prior to that, the Raptors had lost five of six games.
Woodbury, who averaged nine runs a game in three games last week, has now lost two games in a row this week - one at home to Mounds View, the other in a 2-0 road game at White Bear Lake.
Last meeting
Friday's game will be the first match-up of the year for the Royals and Raptors.
The last time the two teams faced each other was in the 2011 Section 4AAA quarterfinals, where East Ridge dispatched the Royals, ending their season.
Woodbury: 5-5 overall, 3-5 SEC; East Ridge: 4-5 overall, 4-4 SEC.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
I am not sure if many people type in the display urls
No doubt you are right, but Google check the display URLs when ads are manually reviewed. If they don't work, your ads are often pulled.
[edited by: QualityNonsense at 4:50 pm (utc) on Dec. 18, 2006]
if i were G i'd check the posted display urls to see that they are bona fide urls as well and wrap it into the QS.
If they don't work, your ads are often pulled.
Google does not require that a keyword appended display URL actually work. The only requirement is that the display domain, before the slash, matches the domain in the destination URL.
I do not think that is accurate, my experience has been that this is specifically not allowed. If you have example.com/keyword as your display URL, then users must be taken to example.com/keyword. I know that I have seen instances where advertisers have done this, but they are violating the ad policy.

I do not think that is accurate, my experience has been that this is specifically not allowed.
My rep confirmed that this is allowed in all cases as long as the domains match - but, if others are seeing disapprovals, then something must be amiss...
AWA/AWA2, can you please offer a definitive answer to this question?
There is no external page that explains dynamic insertion because it isn't an officially acknowledged feature of AdWords. Oh wait, I guess I just ...
Your display URL needs to match the domain of your destination URL, so as long as your display URL isn't misleading as far as your real destination goes, it should be OK. I can't go into more detail than to say we're looking at these scenarios.
Mmm, weird. So, if you use a external conversion tracker which uses a different url then your display url, that is not allowed? In my experience that is not true :S
It does not necessarily follow that something is "allowed" because no one stops you from doing it. Have you had a positive statement from Google that it is acceptable? Even then, unless it is documented as acceptable somewhere in Google's system, this mayonly represent the opinion of one of G's employees - not necessarily the same as Google policy.
My expectation would be that anything that is an attempt to mislead or deceive would not be acceptable, but anything that merely provides a simplified illustration of the true URL, for the purposes of aiding a surfer rather than bypassing G's algorithms, may be considered acceptable.
Are direct to merchant affiliate links allowed with a different display URL than that of the merchant landing page to get around the "1 Display URL per keyword will be shown at one time" rule?
No. That's defeating the purpose of the rule a bit...
I think that is the offical policy, but more accurately, I think it is one top level domain in which the merchant has a financial interest.
So, you could not have widgets.com and widgets.com/widgets, nor widgets.widgets.com all be displayed at the same time. Nor could ads show for both widgets.com and widgetswidgets.com at the same time, if one is pretty much the same as the other.
The question here is is if can you have an ad for widgets.com/widgets, if the user only goes to widgets.com. My experience has been that this is not the case, and others have had different experiences. I suppose it depends on who is doing the manual review at Google.

Adding a starter not a priority for Dipoto
Adding a starter not a priority for Dipoto
On Friday night, former GM Jim Bowden, currently with ESPN, said on Twitter that the Angels were "suddenly the front-runner" to land Oswalt, with the Red Sox still in the hunt and the Rangers and Cardinals fading out.
"I can't qualify for everything you hear," Dipoto said. "But I can say that we're quite happy with the way our starting pitchers have thrown this spring and the way they've developed. You never have enough pitching, so it's tough for me to say that there's not a time in this season where our situation may not change, but right now, we're very happy with where our pitching is."
Jerome Williams, who came into camp as the favorite for the fifth spot, has been out for more than three weeks with a strained left hamstring, but expects to make his first start Monday, which would figure to give him enough time to be ready by April 15 -- the first time the Angels would need a fifth starter.
No. 3 prospect Garrett Richards is also competing for the fifth spot, with Trevor Bell and Brad Mills in camp as other potential options.
Oswalt, 34, had previously said he'd prefer to pitch close to his Mississippi home, but backed off that due to waning interest, telling teams he'd be willing to pitch anywhere and even indicating he's open to a midseason return.
Oswalt's agent, Bob Garber, could not be reached for comment on Saturday.
Dipoto said he's constantly seeking depth behind Jered Weaver, Dan Haren, C.J. Wilson and Ervin Santana, but mostly via Minor League deals or waiver-wire pickups. Like 28-year-old right-hander David Pauley, who was signed Friday but will not report to big league camp.
Pauley, who posted a 3.16 ERA in 53 relief appearances for the Mariners and Tigers last year, will instead get stretched out in the Minor Leagues in hopes of contributing at some point during the season.
"This is an effort to build organizational depth so that when you get to those points in the season, which are inevitable, that you're going to call on pitching depth, and you have guys in Triple-A that provide it," Dipoto said. "David has a chance to be part of that equation."

Yahoo, in partnership with Symantec, has launched an internet security software suite, Norton Internet Security, that is designed to protect online users from threats such as viruses and spyware, the companies said today.
The suite includes Symantec's Norton AntiVirus and Norton Personal Firewall products. Yahoo users can try it out for free for 30 days, after which they can purchase a 12-month subscription for $50 (about £27), which the vendors described as a "special promotional" price.
Users can download the suite here. Yahoo will promote the suite on its websites, such as its search engine, and on its products, such as its browser toolbar.
Yahoo and Symantec have collaborated for years. For example, Yahoo uses Symantec security technology in Yahoo Mail, and the companies offer a co-branded browser toolbar.
With this deal, Yahoo is responding to a similar suite that rival AOL is now testing called Total Care, which includes technology from McAfee, one of Symantec's competitors.
The deal also increases distribution for Symantec, a timely boost after Microsoft launched its OneCare PC security suite in June. OneCare, which includes antivirus, backup, firewall, antispyware and PC tuning features, costs $50 for an annual subscription covering up to three Windows XP PCs.
Consumers need and want all the help they can get to protect themselves from the dizzying and ever-expanding variety of online dangers. Companies know that providing security services and products helps them retain users and attract new ones. It also encourages users to spend more time online, which is critical to Yahoo's online-advertising based business.

Yay! Earl Grey!
I really like this tea. I steeped it a bit longer than I did previously. Even though Andrews & Dunham suggest 5 minutes steeping time, I just can't do 5 minutes for a black tea. I think my palate tends to be overly sensitive to bitter taste, and since most black teas do take on a slight bitter edge when brewed over 4 minutes (there is the occasional exception, but, for my palate, I have found this to be the standard), I don't usually take a black tea beyond 4 minutes for the first infusion.
So I decided to push it to the 4 minutes this time (usually, with a black tea, I have a "standard" time of 3 minutes, regardless of what brewing parameters might suggest). Only a slight bitter note at the back of the palate… but not off-putting. But what I do notice is that brewing it longer brings out more of the floral qualities of the bergamot, whereas the 3 minutes, I'm left with a fruitier bergamot with only hints of floral.
It's quite good both ways … but I think I prefer it with the 3 minute steep time…

LONDON (Reuters) - Government cost-cutting and mistakes by civil servants contributed to the mishandling of the award of a key British rail franchise that had to be torn up weeks after being granted, an inquiry found.
The 13-year contract for the West Coast Main Line, due to start in December, was originally given to FirstGroup Plc, but the government was forced to pull the award after flaws were found in the bidding process.
"I do not hide from the seriousness of these findings," Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said in response to Thursday's report. "They make extremely uncomfortable reading for the department. They must and will be acted upon."
The inquiry's findings came out after the government confirmed on Thursday that the West Coast Main Line's incumbent operator Virgin Rail would continue to run the service for up to 23 months.
The franchise debacle is damaging for Britain's ruling Conservative Party, which began its programme of rail privatisations in the 1990s. The project has been dogged by fatal accidents, financial crises and political infighting.
McLoughlin, however, laid much of the blame for franchise U-turn at the door of civil servants, saying that ministers made the original decision in August after being given inaccurate information.
Flaws in the process came to light after Virgin Rail, the losing bidder, mounted a legal challenge to FirstGroup being awarded the contract with a 5.5 billion pound ($8.9 billion) bid.
The final report into what happened, led by Centrica chief executive and Department for Transport board member Sam Laidlaw, found that the department wrongly calculated the amount of risk capital that bidders would have to offer to guarantee their proposals against default.
As well as individual errors, Laidlaw's report said that cost-cutting and management changes at a time when the department was taking on other large projects - including high-speed rail, Crossrail and the Olympics - made it more vulnerable to missing errors. It also said that a squeezed deadline gave insufficient time to consider concerns that were raised.
However, Laidlaw said that he made "no criticism" of engineering consultancy WS Atkins, the shares of which fell 4 percent when it announced in October that its own advisory role in the process would be investigated.
Laidlaw's report recommended that future competitions are given clear timeline and are better managed with a simpler structure, and with a single director general appointed to look after all rail franchising.
A second report by Eurostar chairman Richard Brown into the overall franchising system is "well advanced" and is expected by the end of the year, McLoughlin said.
Opposition transport secretary Maria Eagle said that it was wrong to pin the blame on individual civil servants.
"It was decisions and failures by ministers that led to the collapse of the rail franchising at huge cost to the taxpayer," she said.
With the current franchise due to expire next week, the government said that it had agreed a deal for Virgin to run the West Coast service for up to 23 more months, giving the Department for Transport time to reconsider the tender process.
The government had originally suggested that it expected Virgin to operate the line for up to 13 months as an interim measure.
Virgin Rail, a joint venture between Richard Branson's Virgin Group and Scotland-based Stagecoach Group, may have its new agreement terminated early if a long-term franchise is ready to begin before November 2014, Stagecoach said.
Stagecoach said that Virgin Rail planned to bid again for the long-term franchise when the tender comes up. ($1 = 0.6214 pound)

I will never be normal like I was before I got sick. I couldn't run if it was an emergency. I cannot ride a bicycle, although I can sort of halfway dance with my wife. I can't carry my grandchildren up the stairs.
I am never sick. I was a perfectly healthy surgeon, working 88.7 hours a week on average. I had missed only four days of work from illness in my 27 years of practice until a mosquito bit me seven years ago. A few days later, on a Tuesday, I was unusually exhausted after performing a colon operation, so I went home and went to bed.
The next morning, I only had a low-grade fever, but I had terrible muscle aches all over. I felt like I was going to die. I thought that if I didn't feel better soon, I would have to go to the emergency room. Fortunately, I starting feeling a little better, so I went to work and did several colonoscopies, after which I had to go home and go back to bed. I cancelled all my office patients for the next two days. I felt as though I was carrying a backpack with 1,000 pounds of bricks in it.

Goldsmith/Fischer Partnership
Fischer and Goldsmith Seeds, Inc. has announced a partnership, making Fischer the exclusive production, distribution, marketing and sales channel for all Goldsmith vegetative varieties in North America, Europe and Asia.
Goldsmith has licensed Fischer to produce and sell all of their vegetative products. "We are out of the vegetative market. We will continue to do breeding on vegetative crops and seed crops and will continue to produce seed crops," said Joel Goldsmith, president of Goldsmith. Over time, Goldsmith Plants will cease to exist as a separate company.
Goldsmith's entire line of vegetative varieties comes under this exclusive partnership, including: impatiens, petunias, calibrachoas, snapdragons, angelonia and verbena. Goldsmith vegetative varieties will be offered through Fischer's existing broker networks and sales channels. Customer and technical support for all Goldsmith vegetative varieties will also be provided by Fischer.
"We will be increasing our technical service staff," said Gary Falkenstein, co-president of Fischer USA. "Our internal operation won't be affected much." The technical service additions will be needed with the expansion of the China facility. Fischer's certified China facility will be expanded to 28 acres to hold the Goldsmith geranium production. "The educated, motivated staff at the Shanghai facility is achieving great results in terms of productivity and plant quality," said Falkenstein. In addition, some ivy geraniums will be produced in Israel, and our Israel facility, along with our Portugal facility, will also house the other Goldsmith crops.
Geraniums vs. Geraniums?
The agreement brings the product lines of two of the world's leading geranium breeders together. When asked why Fischer would be interested in a competitor's geranium line, Goldsmith, said, "We have been very successful with our lines, and the Goldsmith and Fischer geraniums are very different. Fischer is known for more compact plants, and we are known for a more robust type. This whole arrangement grew out of Fischer's desire to help a friend in need and meshed with their goal to expand product offerings."
"Goldsmith offers some strong colors with good characteristics that Fischer does not have," added Falkenstein. "This will expand our availability." Falkenstein also believes Goldsmith's geranium customers are a loyal group with particular preferences. "It's almost like the automobile industry. People buy a certain model or type, because they are comfortable with it and they trust it."
Some Ralstonia Talk
According to Goldsmith, there are two main reasons for the agreement:
- Goldsmith thinks there is a perception in the industry that their geraniums are risky and that even if they get recertified, this perception will follow them.
- After two years of horrendous liability, Goldsmith cannot take the risk of shipping geraniums into the U.S. market – not until APHIS has a better plan for testing and handling future occurrences.
Faulkenstein wants the industry to keep a few things in mind:
- Production in China is high tech and disease free.
- Goldsmith is world-renowned for its breeding.
- Fischer's worldwide locations are extremely interconnected, allowing instant communication.
- Fischer prides itself in its helpful customer service, throughout any problem.
Goldsmith still has outstanding accounts receivable and payable and wants to conclude all business related to the Ralstonia occurrence before dissolving the company. Goldsmith stressed that this agreement does not mean Goldsmith Plants is going bankrupt – they are not – and that they do not see this as a way to eliminate their responsibility to growers affected by Ralstonia.
Future Marketing
The 10-year arrangement calls for all Goldsmith vegetative products to be sold by Fischer and identified, for example in the Fischer catalogue, as bred by Goldsmith. This means that all the Goldsmith vegetative material will remain under The Flower Fields brand, and in that respect, consumers and some garden centers will not even know of this change.
At Pack Trials, former Goldsmith Plants' material will be in the Fischer section. Fischer USA will distribute a supplemental catalog displaying all Goldsmith Geraniums including new varieties for the 2005 season. Goldsmith's other vegetative annuals will be included in Fischer's spring plants catalog.

Example: Let's say your home sustained $20,000 in hurricane damage, but you were only reimbursed $10,000 by your insurance company. $20,000-$10,000 = $10,000 in unreimbursed damage. Your AGI is $70,000, so $70,000 x 10% = $7,000. $10,000 – $7,100 = $2,900 in deductible damage.
Special Note: Should You Take the Home Office Deduction?
Provided you are actually eligible for the home office deduction (learn more so you don't get audited), deducting the expense could either be a smart decision or a poor one. That's because once you claim that home office, it doesn't count as part of your private residence anymore. When you sell your house sometime down the line, you'll either make a profit or a loss. If you make a profit, the value of your home office will be taxed as a capital gain, at a maximum rate of 25%, costing you money. If you make a loss selling your home, you can deduct the value of the home office as a loss, making you money.
How the math works out for your depends on your situation, so it's smart to talk to your tax preparer before you deduct your home office.
If You Took Out a Loan …
If You Paid Property Taxes … (Hint: You Probably Did)
Usually your property taxes are paid to your lender as part of your loan. But if you bought your house this year, you probably paid your fair share of the property taxes upfront. You can find out how much you paid on your settlement documents, and deduct it.
If You Paid Mortgage Discount Points …
When you pay a "point" toward your mortgage, that means you paid the equivalent of 1 percentage point of your loan upfront at closing in order to get a lower interest rate. This doesn't go to pay off your loan, but it can save you money in the long run, which is why people do it. If you paid mortgage points, you can deduct them if:
- The loan is secured by your primary residence
- The loan was used to buy, improve or build the home
- Paying points is a common practice in the area of your new home and not more than normally charged
- The points are calculated as a percentage of the loan principal
- The points are clearly outlined on the buyer's settlement statement, and
- The amount of cash you put into the purchase of your home (including down payment, closing costs, etc.) is at least equal to the amount you were charged for the points you paid on the loan
If you paid points to refinance your home instead of buying or improving your home, you deduct a portion of what you paid each year, spread out over the life of the loan. For example, if you paid 1,000 in points to refinance a 10-year loan, then you could deduct $100 each year.
If You Took Out a Personal Home Equity Loan …
What if you took out a home equity loan to pay for something other than your home, like tuition or home improvements? Well, it depends. Part or all of the interest you pay on that loan could be deductible for up to $100,000, or $50,000 if you are married filing separately. Here's how the math works when it comes to tuition:
Let's say your home is worth $200,000. You currently have a mortgage worth $150,000. So your home is worth $50,000 more than the mortgage. If you take out a home equity loan to pay for tuition, then you can only deduct the interest on $50,000 of that loan. That number would be the same whether you took a loan out for $60,000 or $200,000—you can only deduct interest on $50,000 of that loan.
If you find yourself getting hit with the alternative minimum tax (AMT), then you cannot deduct any portion of the interest on a home equity loan when calculating AMT.
However, if you used that $60,000 loan to build a shed and install a pool, you can deduct all of the interest whether or not you fall under the AMT. That's because you used the loan to improve your property.
If You Sold a Home …
If You Made a Profit on Your Home …
If you sold your house for more than you paid, you technically made what is called a "capital gain." Usually capital gains are taxed, but the gain you made on your home—up to $250,000 ($500,00 for married couples filing jointly)—is exempt from income taxes. You just need to have:
- Owned the property for two years, and
- Lived in it for two out of the last five years before you sold it
If you don't meet these requirements, all is not lost. If you had to sell your home because of:
- Death
- Divorce or legal separation
- Job loss that qualifies for unemployment compensation
- Employment changes that made it difficult for you to meet mortgage and basic living expenses
- Multiple births from the same pregnancy
- Damage from a natural or man-made disaster
- "Involuntary conversion" by a local government under eminent domain law, for example …
Then the IRS will cut you some slack and only tax your gain partially. Learn more at the IRS website.
Also, if the gain you made is more than $250,000 (or $500,000 if you're married filing jointly), dig around and see if you can find the receipts for any home improvements you made. That will establish the cost basis for the home as higher. For example, if you bought your home for $300,000 and made $50,000 in improvements, then sold it for $600,000, you can deduct that entire amount ($600,000-$350,000 = $250,000). If you hadn't included those improvements, you would have been taxed on that extra $50,000 that exceeded the limit.

Kelly Rowland Not Blue Ivy's Godmother or Ready For Kids
Kelly Rowland may be good friends with fellow singer Beyonce Knowles who gave birth last year, but the former set the record straight about whether or not she is one-year-old Blue Ivy Carter's godmother.
"No," she told E! News.
Still, Rowland revealed that she was a godmother to others.
"I am a god mother," she told E!. "My god children are all in middle and high school right now, which is so weird."
The 32-year-old singer revealed her own plans for having children in the future.
"I don't know. Too busy with the career," Rowland revealed to E!. "I do want kids, I do want to be married. But, I want one kid."
She previously opened up about why this was not the best time for her to do so just yet.
"Because right now, I'm a bit selfish, a lot-I was gonna say a little-but I'm still selfish," Rowland previously told E!. "I like my time, I like to wake up whenever I want to and I like to come and go as I please. I don't know if I'm ready to share that time with another person, I don't wanna mess them up."
However, Rowland is not opposed to babysitting although she admits that she has not done so in quite some time.
"It's been a minute [since I babysat]," Rowland told E! recently. "I think I would really enjoy it right now, because I just need to hold a kid and give it back."
Rowland's friend Beyonce has gone on record to say that she enjoys motherhood with her one-year-old daughter.
"I just adore being a mother, hearing her say Mama and call me when she needs something," Beyonce previously told Shape magazine. "It makes me feel like I have a real purpose here. I enjoy all the things people warned me would be tough to handle."

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 9 (UPI) -- Dallas Cowboys tight end John Phillips will have knee surgery and miss the entire season, the team said Monday.
Phillips tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during Sunday's NFL Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, in which the Cowboys defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 16-7.
The second-year pro, who was vying against Martellus Bennett for the backup tight end spot behind Jason Witten, hauled down four passes for 60 yards before leaving the game in the second quarter.
Dallas took Phillips, 23, in the sixth round of the 2009 draft out of Virginia. He caught seven passes for 62 yards in 16 games last year as a rookie.

WH has been doing the work, although it's been hard and not as quick as I would like. We had a setback and I asked him to leave since he was having such trouble writing the NC letter. He went straight to his therapist.
He admitted to his therapist that the reason that the NC letter is so hard for him to write is that he is concerned the OW will get angry. He feels that she is unstable enough that she may try to stalk him or worse, me.
He didn't want to tell me himself because he didn't think I would buy his story (which I wouldn't have), but the therapist (with his consent) called me in to tell me what she feels is a genuine concern of his. He feels that if OW starts coming unglued, then that would shatter any hope of me staying and trying to R. And he is probably right.
He says that he and OW had an understanding that if he was to confess the A to me that things would be over between them and she said if he didn't chose her then she didn't want anything to do with him.
He says she hasn't contacted him since he told her that he would be confessing to me and he hasn't contacted her.
Therapist believes him based on what he told her. The therapist suggests that I come up with another way for him to satisfy my needs without the letter.
He has given me passwords and added me to his private bank account. He has taken time off of work and we go everywhere together when he is home from work. He is reading the books that I and the therapist have suggested. He is being attentive and checks in with me throughout the day. He tells me who he is speaking with on the phone and updates me on the conversations. He discusses things with me that he would normally just keep to himself.
I have never seen this level of consistent behavior from him before.
I cant let go of the fact that this was the ONE thing that I thought would make a statement that he was done and choosing me and our marriage and NOT her. Something I could say I knew because I saw it in writing.
Am I being petty for still wanting it? Should I risk our sanity and possibly safety by demanding it?
Is there another way for me to get him to "pay" for his infidelity without the formal NC letter?
What else can I ask him to do?
As much as things seem to be going in the right direction, I still have days of grief. He behaves so patiently and is warm and understanding when I lose it. He lets me cry it out and reassures me that he will do whatever it takes.
If I make him write it despite his fears or the therapists fears that she will not take it well or, as the therapist put it, "poking a sleeping tiger", and she does come around, I would feel like such a fool. I've got kids to worry about and I cant be sure what I may do if she did show up at my door one day.
Just not sure what else I can have him do.
Any suggestions??
Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it.
She says she feels as though he understands that the slightest mistake on his part will cost him the marriage and he wants to do the right thing. She says she thinks that this is why he went to her first rather than telling me. He's afraid that if he keeps screwing up that I will give up and leave.
Again, he is doing all the other right things and I haven't had a reason to feel as though he is lying, but Im still insecure. This was a long EA and turned into a PA.
What makes me want some sort of declaration from him is that I wonder what he discussed with her over this long EA that would make her so angry and crazed at him sending her a letter? What did he promise her? Do I want to know?
He is back in the home because he had agreed to meet all of my conditions. But he couldn't bring himself to finish the NC letter for the reasons already stated. So, that is why he went to the therapist.
The therapist is suggesting that I wait to discuss this with him until I have come up with a good alternative that will satisfy my needs. But I cant think of any. I really want to discuss this with him, but I want a plan. I want an alternative.
Do I ask him to write it but not send it? Make him do the work for my own satisfaction?
If they had an agreement that if you found out and he chose you then she didn't want to see him again...that sounds like she is "reasonable."
That he said he would...then refused..and went and had his IC call you...I see that as manipulative. His IC May believe him...but he wouldn't be the first to lie to an IF.
I'd insist he send it. If she starts stalking then handle it legally.
Has he taken you to the storage unit yet?
..that feeling you get in your stomach, when you heart's broken. It's like all the butterflies just died.
But the letter could not be sent. In the letter, he wrote that she or he would have to leave the job site - he is her supervisor. I worried about a sexual harassment lawsuit (still do).
So what's an alternative to the NC letter? I really don't know. I am currently in shell-shock mode after the second Dday.
Hopefully someone will have good advice for you this morning....and I can pick up on that.
Are you both clear on what a NC letter should contain?
I know this might only be a question of wording but there is IMHO immense difference between your WH having a hard time writing the letter and having a hard time SENDING the letter.
Whenever I see a WS having a hard time writing the letter I simply see that the goal and purpose of the NC letter isnt understood. Basically a NC letter is a short, concise, as unemotional as possible notification informing that the affair is over, that the WS wont ever be in contact again, a request that the OP respects this and the consequences if NC is broken. Sort of like:
OP I do not want to have any contact in any way or form whatsoever with you so I can work on saving my marriage. I ask that you respect this and also refrain from contacting me in any way or from. Any breach from this request will be shared with my wife and can lead to legal action. WS
When I see a WS having a hard time WRITING the letter it tends to be because they want to explain why, what could have happened at another time and another place, regrets and so on. None of that matters!
In fact the OP reactions to the letter tend to be completely irrelevant. You see the NC letter is more of a letter of intent from the WS. If OP wants to camp in your yard and stage a hunger-strike
so be it. You deal with possible future contact as it comes along. As long as WH does not contact her and notifies you of any attempt to contact from her then the NC letter is doing its job.
It does require some concessions from you: You cant be angry at your husband if the OW tries to break NC as long as he tells you. You might have to make that clear to him beforehand.
And the crazy OW story
. We get that all the time.
I know this might only be a question of wording but there is IMHO immense difference between your WH having a hard time writing the letter and having a hard time SENDING the letter.
Personally, under your explained circumstance, I would have expected your WH to write the NC letter immediately, but be hesitant to mail it. He could have easily gave the NC letter to you, or his therapist, with an explanation of his concerns. It would then be your decision if you wanted it sent or not.
Again, like Bigger, it is his difficulty in writing the NC letter that stands out....no matter how well his other behaviors/actions have been progressing.
All work and no play has just cost me my wife--Gary Puckett
D-Day(s): Plenty
Accepting that I can may end this marriage 7/2/14
Heading for D
YOU are the one who needs to be satisfied that the OW is truly out of both of your lives. That requires your husband to be remorseful and open. If he is then there will be no question that if the OW should contact him, YOU will know.
As a BS I wanted to see my wife put down, in words, a defining statement of commitment to me as well as a solid end of the affair. It had to satisfy ME - which is why we all recommend that NC letters be sent from both of you. After I read it I even made a few tweaks and gave it back to her so that she could see where my perspective didn't jive with hers - which was helpful to both of us.
To me, it was far more important that my wife write the NC letter and really mean it than it was for the AP to ever receive it. The letter's intent was the point of the whole process.
NC is essential. Yah I get not poking the bear, but the bear doesn't even know she shouldn't be poked. See what I'm saying.
Read Bigger's post again. The NC letter part especially. This shouldn't be some big difficult thing. And the concern of the AP coming unhinged is the MOST common excuse to NOT send a NC. Number two is her spouse will come unhinged and beat her.
Although this seems unique to you. IT's not. There are really quite routine responses and behaviors of both the WS and BS. Try not to fall into the trap. Stand strong. You deserve more than the manipulations, and lack of respect.
((((and strength))))
So what if OW gets angry. This isn't about making him "pay" for his infidelity. It doesn't matter what agreement they had between them about the end of the A. This is between you and him. It doesn't have to be elaborate or incite a riot. Example:
"I have confessed to DyingInside21. The A is over and I want no further contact with you."
I can't help but get the feeling that he's hiding something and that the reason he is afraid of sending the NC letter is because he's afraid OW will reveal whatever it is he might not have told you. I would ask him if he as afraid sending the NC letter might cause OW to reveal details to you that he has not shared with you.
[This message edited by 99lawdog99 at 12:14 PM, May 2nd (Friday)]
However, I am still glad that he sent it, and would do it again the same way. I really needed to know that he was serious about NC, and that she got the message he would never return to her under any circumstances, even if he and I split up.
Only you can decide if the risk if worth the gain.
Would it help you to have your WH just write the letter? To have him articulate how he feels and have it available to you in a form you can read and re-read as needed? And have you/can you talk with the counselor about your fears that this is just an excuse for your WH not to have to finalize things with her?
I did not demand a NC letter because I did not want to open the lines of communication again.
IF you trust his IC and IF you believe him that oW could hop on the crazy train and
Me- BW, 30
Him- fWh, 36
Mostly R'd, minus a few scars...bought a house and got a puppy...And baby makes 3! She arrived August 2013
If she were so unhinged and unreasonable, how would she have just been like "okay, if you confess we'll have no more contact" with no problem? Yet if she gets a letter, she will go unhinged? Makes no sense. If it doesn't make sense, it isn't true.
So I agree with you its complete BS. Who cares if the IC believes him, I think you know the situation much better.
Also, please note it is impossible to ever be sure there has been NC. You never can know for sure. You just cant. Have you reviewed his cell phone detail records (call/msgs logs to confirm there has been no contact via the cell?)
A NC letter makes it clear to the AP that the affair is over. Yes it also serves some purpose of reassuring the BS. But IMO writing a NC letter and showing it to the WS but not sending it, is basically worth nothing. Its no different than "words" in the sense of words v actions. I NC letter written but sent is just words. SENDING it is the action that is so important.
Hold your ground on this. Tell him you are not concerned about her becoming unhinged, as you will both deal with that together if it happens.
I agree he's most likely concerned that the OW will contact you after the letter, and blow the cover over the lies he has told you.
Sorry but Ive never hard a 5 year EA. Adults don't go 5 years in a EA with someone IN THEIR TOWN and not turn physical sooner than that.
Sometimes things are really as simple as they seem: He wont send the NC letter b/c either he's still in the A, wants the option of the A in the future, or is more concerned with OW's feelings than yours. All the rest is just smoke and mirrors designed to persuade you otherwise for his own benefit.
If he makes no contact, and I am comfortable that he hasn't, then I won't send it.
If she makes contact, but he tells me right away, I won't send it. If she makes contact and he delays in telling me, I send it.
I am going to address my suspicions with him that I think he is afraid she will contact me and tell me things he hasn't already confessed. Give him a chance to confess it before she does. Or maybe she will make shit up. I don't know. But I will feel better knowing that he did the work in writing it. It's the effort put forth in writing it that is more important to me.
I actually do not believe they are still in A nor do I believe they are in any contact currently, but that is just my gut.
He needs (in my opinion since I know him) to pay for his sins and writing this letter is a way for him to do that because it's NOT what he would do typically. He likes to avoid dealing with things and he doesn't set boundaries, which is why this was so important to me. It's much easier for him to just walk away and hope everything works out.
I am comfortable with the compromise of having him write it and to let me keep it unless and until I feel the need to send it. My choice to send it based on his behavior going forward.
Thank you for all the feedback. I was up all night going back and forth and when I came to a decision, to read that some of you came to similar conclusions was helpful. Made me feel less crazy.
Again, I am dealing with more than just his A, and the things that come with that, but a lot of character/personality issues that also need to be fixed/changed in order for things to move forward. This is why we aren't even close to being ready for MC. Still doing IC for each of us. He has behavioral changes he has to work through that wont happen overnight. I am willing to be patient for some of them, but not all.
*Oh, my mom has seen the contents of the storage unit. She lives close by. She doesn't know about A, but just that he might have some antique furniture she might be interested in buying for her new house.
I emailed the therapist with my decision. Haven't heard her feedback yet.
Its just words. There's no difference in words spoken and words written. IM sure its a nice exercise and all that...but please. This just reinforces to him and he AP that there are no consequences to the affair. Boo hoo..he had to take pen to paper and write some words. Seriously?
SENDING a letter is an actual action with an effect.
This is no compromise. This is you getting maniplated and him skirting consequences.
Also, this whole idea of you sending the letter...again that is off point. The point of a NC is for the wayward to send it.
Im not trying to be harsh. Ultimately, you have to be comfortable with your own decisions. but I think there is a bit of "sparkly unicorn" floating around here in this scenarios...as if him just writing (but not sending) a letter actually MEANS something...
C'mon, he was Fucking this lady for 1 year!! (probably more) And a creative writing assignment is to somehow make up for this?
[This message edited by ShiningAutumn8 at 2:16 PM, May 2nd (Friday)]
You can offer advice and your opinions, but please don't keep pushing someone who has made the best decision she can under difficult circumstances.
While he's writing his NC letter for you, I'd tell him that I'd like a recommitment letter to YOU as well, as in, why he's recommitting to you, what he's willing to do, etc. Seems like a good exercise for someone who seems to be writing-disabled.

Report: Rockets will be first team to meet with free agent Dwight Howard
It looks like the Mavericks may have the last word when it comes to Dwight Howard.
According to Yahoo Sports! Adrian Wojnarowski, the Houston Rockets will meet with Howard first. This meeting will take place in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
The Mavericks may be next. Owner Mark Cuban confirmed that they will be heading to Los Angeles to sit down with a few players in the near future.
"We're going to go out to L.A," Cuban said. "We've set a meeting date with a couple of different players."
"We made it clear to everybody that we're exploring different options. It's just not one approach. Last year it was one-year deals because we wanted to get to this year, not just because of the big names but there were other names that we really liked. This year it's not going to be about one-year deals."

Still breaking in the new strings. Since I've stopped using a guitar pick and have gone to a mostly finger-picking style, I prefer to use the thickest-gauge strings available. I think it sounds better without hanging the mic inside the body of the guitar.

On Monday Greece secured a 6.8 million euro (USD 8.7 billion) lifeline from the euro zone on the condition that Athens cuts public sector jobs and delivers other reforms to generate the required cash. The deal prevents the country from defaulting on debt due in August.
Greece`s budget could be back in surplus by the end of the year, although a lot of work still needs to be done in terms of reforms, the International Monetary Fund`s (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde told CNBC.
On Monday Greece secured a 6.8 million euro (USD 8.7 billion) lifeline from the euro zone on the condition that Athens cuts public sector jobs and delivers other reforms to generate the required cash. The deal prevents the country from defaulting on debt due in August.
Lagarde told CNBC she was pleased with Greece`s progress and believed it to be on the road to recovery.
"When I look at Greece, I`m very impressed by the efforts that have been undertaken to restore the fiscal situation of the country. It may well be that by the end of 2013, Greece will be in primary surplus, which is an amazing achievement," said Lagarde.
"A lot needs to be done, whether you`re talking about the tax reform, the tax authority`s reform, the continuation of the privatization program...the management of the public service - all of that is still on the table and work in progress that needs to be continued. But there have been clear achievements," she added.
As part of the deal agreed on Monday, euro zone finance ministers committed to stagger payments to Greece.
Greece has been dependent on financial support from its lenders for over three years now and has been back in the spotlight in recent weeks as the country`s coalition government struggled to reach agreement on how to meet the demands of the bailout program.
Tough austerity measures, including deep cuts to government spending, raised taxes and structural reforms, have been unpopular with the Greek public.
But a week of talks has led to a promise from the government to reform the public sector, convincing its lenders - the IMF, the European Commission and the European Central Bank - that Greece is on track to rebuilding its economy.
The IMF chief said Greece still has a few more steps to take to improve its financial situation.
"Currently we have a list of actions that have been taken. A few more prior actions before we actually submit the program to the board at the end of July. And then we`ll see... as I`ve said, one step at a time," she added.
Lagarde said that the IMF remained "extremely attentive" to developments in Egypt, where the military last week ousted Mohamed Morsi as president.
The IMF hoped to continue a dialogue with the Egyptian authorities started in August last year, she added.
"We have had a dialogue with the Egyptian authorities because we believe that it`s critical for that country to harness financing, but also to have a strong political endorsement and people`s support to go into the reforms and the strategy that is needed for that economy to recover," she said.
"We will continue that dialogue, we will remain extremely attentive to what happens on the ground, but I think for the moment the situation has to settle before we reactivate those discussions," Lagarde said.

The contract for Calgary Flames goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff is not one of the deals receiving a second look from the NHL, said assistant GM Jay Feaster.
In light of the arbitration ruling Monday which quashed Ilya Kovalchuks 17-year, US$102-million contract with the New Jersey Devils, a handful of other deals in which salary drops dramatically in the final years have come under scrutiny.
But Kiprusoffs is not among them.
Not that were aware of, no, Feaster said. We have not been advised of (any investigation).
Kiprusoffs agent also said the league is not looking into the deal as being one which circumvented the salary cap.
Kiprusoff is heading into the third year of a six-year, $35-million contract which started at $8.5 million but ends at $1.5 million in the 2013-14 season. He will turn 37 at the start of that season.
It was one of the first pacts to have a lower salary at the end to reduce the average salary over the life of the deal.
However, its not to the degree of many deals signed since, including the Kovalchuk contract, which would have paid the Russian sniper $98.5 million over the first 11 years and only $3.5 million over the final six. Moreover, Kovalchuk would have been 44 at the end of the deal.
The Vancouver Canucks, the Boston Bruins and the Philadelphia Flyers confirmed Tuesday the league is investigating their long-term contracts with stars Roberto Luongo, Marc Savard and Chris Pronger, respectively.
Canucks GM Mike Gillis told the Vancouver Sun the NHL is taking another look at netminder Luongos 12-year, $64-million deal.
We have complied with the NHL request for information and are awaiting further instructions, Gillis said. Cannot say anything further at this point.
Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli issued a statement regarding the NHLs investigation of the seven-year, $28.05-million extension Savard signed in December.
We are co-operating fully with the league in its investigation of the Marc Savard contract extension, Chiarelli said. The league informed us upon their registration of the contract on December 1, 2009, that they would be investigating the circumstances surrounding this contract.
From that point on, they commenced their investigation and it has been ongoing since then. On August 4th, I met with two league appointed lawyers as part of the investigation. We will continue to cooperate with the league in any future investigative proceedings.
A source told CSNPhilly.com the NHL met with Flyers brass last fall to discuss whether Prongers seven-year, $34.45-million deal was an attempt to circumvent the salary cap. The league later told them it was under review.
The contract with Chris Pronger that we registered with the National Hockey League is one we certainly feel was a compliant contract, Flyers president Peter Luukko said Tuesday.
The Pronger contract is structured differently than the Kovalchuk contract. And its been in effect well over a year.
In Richard Blochs ruling Monday, Marian Hossas deal with the Chicago Blackhawks was mentioned alongside Luongo, Savard and Prongers in comparison to Kovalchuks.
The apparent purpose of this evidence is to suggest that the leagues concern is late blooming and/or inconsistent, Bloch wrote in his ruling.
While the contracts have, in fact, been registered, their structure has not escaped league notice: those SPCs (Standard Player Contracts) are being investigated currently with at least the possibility of a subsequent withdrawal of the registration.

A Bozeman baseball legend dies at 82 – The Bozeman Daily Chronicle: News
Let's hear it for the girls….a really nice article from my friend Jodi Hausen at The Chronicle. It's a reminder to do things in life worth remembering.
When Jean "Cy" Cione died suddenly last week at 82, so did a piece of baseball history.
But the woman, who pitched three no-hitters in her 10-year career with the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, was more than a famed baseball player to those who knew her.
"She had a sparkle in her eye every time I saw her," the Rev. Roxanne Klingensmith, her friend and pastor, said. "She was a favorite person of mine and more fun than a barrel full of monkeys."
"She was a lot fun to be with," agreed Cione's partner Ginny Hunt. "If you didn't ever experience watching a baseball game with her, you really missed something. It was a treat to watch a game with her. She analyzed every play."
And it's no wonder.
Cione's own career began in 1945 when she joined the Rockford Peaches, upon whom the 1992 film "A League of Their Own" was based. While she left the Peaches for the Peoria Red Wings and spent most of her career with the Kenosha Comets, she returned to Rockford and retired as a Peach in 1954, according to her autobiography on AAGPBL's website.
Inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame and the Eastern Michigan University Athletic Hall of Fame, Cione also served as vice president of the AAGPBL Players Association.
She co-wrote and co-hosted "Dirt on Their Skirts: The Story of Women in Baseball," a 90-minute electronic "field trip" available for school children through the National Baseball Hall of Fame. She was also interviewed for "Diamond Dreams," a film that runs as a continuous loop in the hall of fame's exhibit on women in baseball.
"We were indeed saddened to learn today about Jean's death," Tim Wiles, the hall of fame's director of research wrote in an e-mail. "She was a wonderful colleague and cared a great deal about baseball."
Born in Rockford, Ill., in 1928, Cione began playing professional baseball "as a young 17-year-old junior in high school," she wrote for the AAGPBL website. "I was a young girl who could run, hit and throw."
In between seasons, the left-handed pitcher graduated from high school and went on to study at Eastern Michigan University, University of Illinois and University of Michigan.
She returned to EMU where she taught sports medicine for 29 years and, as the school's first women's athletic director, was instrumental in attaining gender equity in the sports programs there.
She had a lasting and positive impact on her students, who describe her as having a firm yet affirming personality.
One former high school student who took synchronized swimming with Cione in Rockford in the 1960s said on Cione's obituary guest book that her teacher still influences her today.
"I was NOT athletic, but her determination, humor and expertise made a lasting impression on me and I still talk about her frequently," Cathy Horrall Helgeland wrote.
She was "demanding of herself and demanded a lot from everybody else," Hunter said. But she wouldn't just leave someone "out there. She'd help you get there."
Cione retired to Bozeman in 1992.
The Rev. Clark Sherman met Cione when he came here in 1997 to work at St. James Episcopal Church, where she was a member of the congregation.
"She was a wonderful, wonderful educator and a strong proponent of women's sports," he said. "I can't overstate her commitment to women's athletics."
In addition to her three no-hitters, Cione "was responsible for an unassisted triple play," Sherman said. To put that into perspective, there have only been 15 unassisted triple plays in Major League Baseball since 1909.
But despite her feats, Cione was not one to brag.
"She was really very humble," Sherman said. "She was proud of what she'd done but she downplayed her accomplishments and would often focus on the accomplishments of the league and the other players."
Though she cites the three no-hitters in her AAGPBL biography, she seemed happier with the memory of her "unusual tag play put-out at third base" that secured her team's win and preserved a flagging pitcher's place on the mound for another season.
But to those who knew her best, she was more than just a notable baseball player, she was a woman who "lived life to the fullest," Sherman said.
"There's no question about it," he said. "She infused life into everyone that she came into contact with."
Cione, herself, told a Chronicle reporter in 2003 that she did enjoy her life.
"I had fun," she said, "with everything I could squeeze in."

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - While race teams were busy trying to find a better way to make their cars cut through the brisk wind Tuesday at the Daytona International Speedway, Greg Biffle said the biggest help will be found back home in the engine room.
Dale Jarrett disagreed.
While handling plays an important role in the upcoming Daytona 500, Biffle said nothing makes the car go faster than a strong motor. Jarrett said he'd rather have a car that handles.
"Power means way more here than it does at any other non-restrictor track," Biffle said. "Like when I won at Michigan (last year), I remember I was 24 horsepower off the 24 car (Jeff Gordon) and then like 16 off the 88 (Jarrett), so horsepower there is really irrelevant. It's how the car handles and how you can really use the throttle. Here, three or four horsepower are very crucial. It makes a big difference, so it's hard to answer that question because it's a little of both.
"You need the car as slick as you can get it to get through the air as best you can, but if that guy's got five restrictor-plate horsepower on you, it's going to be really hard to beat him because it's hard to make up that five horsepower in drag. But horsepower in restrictor-plate racing is kind of the king because you can suck up to the guy, you can pass, you can drive out there in clean air if you've got the power, so I would say the power here makes a bigger difference than anywhere."
While Biffle was looking for more power, Jarrett said it was more important for his car to stick to the worn 2.5-mile pavement. He said he's willing to give up some horsepower if it means he can keep the gas pedal flat on the floorboard in the turns.
"I'm willing to give up some speed if we can get me something that I know come Sunday afternoon in the Daytona 500, while the other guys are maybe having to feather the gas a little bit in different parts of the corner. If I can stay wide open, then that's what I'm after. We're giving up a little bit on the clock, but not much because everything is so close, but hopefully that will pay off."
Jarrett had the fourth-fastest speed in the single-car sessions on Tuesday at 186.544 mph, while Biffle probably needed a little more from his engine shop. His best speed was 186.090 mph - 14th best.
Kyle Busch found a break in the gusty conditions to post a fast lap of 188.119 mph. That was the best speed of the second session that includes half of the Nextel Cup Series teams. Compared to speeds from last week's session, it was second best.
The top three overall speeds, including Jeff Gordon at 188.466 mph and Bill Elliott at 188.025 last week, came with Hendrick Motorsports engines under the hood.
Clint Bowyer was second-fastest on Tuesday at 186.896 mph, giving him a dramatic improvement over Monday's effort.
"We did a lot of things," Bowyer said after running 186.020 mph a day earlier. "Once we identified our best car, we put our best motor in it. We're following our game plan. We showed up and we were decent. We kept working on it. We had a list of things to improve: aero, chassis, stuff like that.
"We built some confidence for when we come back (for the Feb. 19 Daytona 500)."
The test session will end today with cars working in packs of traffic. Once the speedway closes at 5 p.m., the stock cars won't be back until practice for pole qualifying for the Daytona 500 on Feb. 12.
Sustained winds of 11 mph with gusts of 20 mph made it difficult for anyone to run fast. While the wind pushed the cars down the backstretch, it was in their face along the longer frontstretch.
"Wind was a big issue," Biffle said. "We make big changes on the car and we'd go back out and it went slower. All we can do is look at everybody else's times. It tells you where you are because they're fighting the same problem. Those are the cards we're dealt.

To say that Christina Aguilera had a pretty good Valentine's Day would be an understatement.
The "Say Something" singer announced yesterday via Twitter that her beau of the past three years, Matthew Rutler, popped the question and she said…well, we think you can guess!
He asked and I said…… http://t.co/XWZVZOjDX1—
Christina Aguilera (@xtina) February 15, 2014
According to USA Today, the couple first met on the set of 2010's Burlesque, in which the Aguilera starred and Rutler worked as a production assistant. At the time, the 'Voice' coach was in the midst of a separation from her husband of five years Jordan Bratman, with whom she has one son, 6-year-old Max.
Xtina filed for divorce from Bratman in the fall of 2010, and the 33-year-old singer and Rutler began seeing each other soon after. The pair have been quietly dating ever since.
Best wishes to the happy couple!
