I know it's the best decision long-term. I'm glad she didn't turn into a sex-pot over it before I canceled the contract (it seems like that is where this is going now), because that would have definitely lured me back in, and we'd just have to deal with this problem a later, more difficult time.It sucks, I love her and I miss her, but I've been missing her for so long so I suppose it's not much different right now aside from losing her companionship as well.

I spent about a week reading posts and stories from all of you dealing with the same situation before I finally manned up and posted something about it.Oldshirt and others were spot on in their analysis. People who want to have sex, have sex. All the excuses in the world boil down to the fact that she just doesn't want to. It's not important to her, but it is to me. So there is a fundamental incompatibility issue.The idea that me taking a stand is going to fix things with her seems unrealistic. Ultimately, she doesn't want to have passion and intimacy with me. So her reasons for doing so will be untrue and disingenuous. I don't see it becoming a true success story unless all of this was just some sort of "mental block", which seems like "fairy-tale chick thinking" right haha.The true success will be ending up happy and having the whole package.

quote:Originally posted by oldshirt:Noone has said she wasn't a good person. The question is whether she is the "right" person for you to live out the rest of your days with and foresake all others for.A Ford Taurus is a fine automobile in many respects but if you are wanting to compete in the Indy 500 it will not have the performance and capabilities that you will need in order achieve your objectives and expectations. Likewise you value passion, intimacy and sexuality and she is not capable of providing those things to the degree that you want.Does it really matter if it's because of some skin irritation or because she was molested by her Uncle Ernie as a child or because she no longer feels an attraction and desire for you? She'll throw whatever excuse she can dream up at you to try to get you to capitulate and a rash from laser hair removal is pretty darn desparate and grasping at straws. The real problem is once that heals then she will get some toenail fungus that will prevent her feeling sexy and then it will be some celulite and then it will be wart on her leg and then her Aunt Berniece will need a kidney transplant and so on and so on and so on. People that are physiologically and physiologically healthy and that are attracted to their partner will innately want to have sex with them regardless of how many hours they work, how many dishes are in the sink and regardless of how many physical imperfections and other stressors they have in their lives.This gal is a nonperformer and not a compatable match for you. It doesn't mean that she is a bad person or that anyone did anything wrong or bad and it doesn't mean that neither of you are worthy of finding the right love for both of you. It's just probably not meant to be with each other. Better to figure that out and deal with it now rather than several years from now when you have a couple kids and a mortgage, a 401K and a couple car payments together.
quote:Originally posted by Daryl LeeAnn Jeffries:My boyfriend and I have recently been fighting over Sex, and he also threw the "i know that you love me but i feel that the only reason i am here anymore is for a paycheck i love you with all my heart babe and i want to be with with you but i feel that you truly do not want me around anymore please tell me if i am wrong or please tell me what i have done wrong i love you" in my face, and that is quoted from a FACEBOOK MESSAGE. Let me put this in perspective. We have a two year old son. Before pregnancy we laid each other alllll the time, allll day long, and we lived together at his house. Durning pregnancy I was a rabbit still.. After not so much, and as I healed from birth I lost my sex drive all together. Now as many of you have said he begggggs like a dog for it, and it drives me crazy. He doesn't lift a finger cleaning the house. I bust my ass at work, I come home to find him sitting on his ass, yelling at our son to either come here or do something else. Why the hell would I want to have sex when I bust my ass and get nothing in return? Not a clean house, not a clean baby. Or when I come home my son has his **** in his diaper, i ask him to change him and I get thrown down. It doesn't matter, just SEX matters. DO you ever think about the things you do wrong???
quote:Originally posted by systemic:I would venture to say that for many of the men here, they have considered carefully the things they may be doing wrong. It's not as if we got shot down once and then the next day showed up looking for answers in an online community. A great deal of introspection occurs first. Everyone who shows up here has a story going back years, including things they've tried. Your words are a bit of an insult to the greater majority of males here. It simply sounds like your boyfriend is a jackass.
quote:Originally posted by 3610nutrition:Something I just thought of (and systemic, maybe this has something to do with your case, too...):is your wife on hormonal birth control? Has it changed recently? The hormones in those things can REALLY eff up a woman's libido. Seriously so.
quote:Originally posted by Chet8625:I like how you say you "won't go deep into my situation" and then write a wall of text. The reason I say this is because either you left stuff out or you actually DID go deep into it.Assuming you didn't leave anything out (like affairs, your anger issues, you've been unemployed for the last 10 years, etc...), here's what I think.1 - First she needs to be checked out physically to make sure there is nothing wrong with her physically.2 - She has to address the depression. You should both see her doctor and see if the meds are a cause for her disinterest in sex. If it is, find other meds. If you can't, then "for better or worse" comes to mind.3 - If she doesn't have physical or mental issues that contribute to lack of sex drive, then I'd suggest marriage counseling. If she doesn't want to go, go alone and let her know you are going so that she knows you are serious about this.4 - If she doesn't want to work to get this fixed (counseling, doctor visits), look up Married Man Sex Life and start the "180" plan (maybe look it up anyway).What you need to do is let her know that you need a "fulfilling, intimate sexual relationship" (not "sex") and that if she cannot meet that need, your frustration and resentment will prevent you from meeting her needs. The marriage will then spiral down and end. Divorce must always be an option.You promised monogamy but not celibacy.An affair/cheating is NOT an option. I did that and really regret it. You lose the moral high ground when you cheat. You can argue as much as you want that she has forfeited the moral high ground by refusing to have sex with you, but believe me it's not the same.
quote:Separate? Divorce. Not that appealing-but it what needs to be done,she knows you are just going to take what ever she gives and will not do anything and she is right.
quote:Originally posted by pohang:[forbetterorworse]Separate? Divorce. Not that appealing-but it what needs to be done,she knows you are just going to take what ever she gives and will not do anything and she is right. Your wife does not want you,so you need to just keep repeating that because its true,because if you did get divorced I bet she would change in a quick second when she started dating somebody new because if she did not he would leave. All you are doing is just wasting day until you or her dies and that is just not living.No disrespect[Married Curious] but he would not leave his wife either and then she left him so I would imagine its in her mind also but neither one of you will do anything except to live in pain until one of you dies.
quote:Originally posted by Tired_20:I've been married for 20years and the last 10 have just been awful. I haven't put it on a log but honestly I'm @ once a month and its has to happen when I throw a fit. The thing that just confuses the crap out of me is she stays up till early morning hours on social sites and if I attempt to take advantage of that time it's the same "I'm really sorry but I'm exhausted" or "I've been sick all day". We have had countless conversations on the topic and its always the same "ill try to pay better attention to that and I'm really sorry". And oral sex, what's that? After ten years of this I have done everything that has been suggested and then some, I'm almost to the point where taking care of myself will be my only alternative, and I'm sorry but that just gets boring.
quote:Originally posted by forbetterorworse:I am pretty similar to most male posters in here, so I won't go to deep into my situation other than the highlights below. The question is what to do at this point? 1) married 10+ years with young kids at home. We are in late 30's early 40's. 2) Before we married our sex was plentiful, albeit not too adventurous or crazy. Although, before we were married i would say i was certainly satisfied and had no complaints. 3) Past 5 years sex has taken a serious nose dive. Frequency ebbs and flows, but on average once a month. Sometimes once a week, sometimes 6 or 7 weeks without4) I ALWAYS have to initiate. She never, ever initiates ever. 4.5) She always talks about sex in a way that makes it sound like it is just for me. "I haven't performed my wifely duties", "you must be dying with no sex" etc.. She always talks about sex in the context of me wanting it, but never talks about sex as if she wants it too. 5) She shoots down my advances 50%-75%+ of the time. However, i have gotten to the point where i just don't ask anymore because i am sick of being rejected and feeling resentful when she says no. (although i am pretty resentful at the lack of sex in general) 6) Excuses include too tired, don't want anyone touching me, i have my period (which wasn't an issue in the beginning), "can't i just relax without anyone bothering me", my stomach hurts, my head hurts, and my personal favorite - i didn't shave my bikini line recently and it doesn't feel nice to have anything touching my hairy legs/bikini area, etc. etc. etc.7) She suffers from depression and is on meds. Have tried switching meds but doesn't seem to help the sex issue. Not on birth control. 8) 1/2 the time sex is OK (but never great) and the other 1/2 the time sex is terrible. She lays there like a dead fish. 9) The sex in general is uninspired. She won't allow me to perform oral on her. She certainly won't perform oral on me. Has been over a year since that happened. She won't let me touch her breasts with my mouth or hands during foreplay or sex. She won't let me touch her vagina with my hands either. Everything is off limits except straight sex with kissing. There are 2 or 3 positions that she will indulge, but nothing else. All of these things (oral, manual, etc.) were on the menu in the beginning. Forget anal sex, that never has and never will happen. 10)I've tried watching porn with her, sex toys, massages, bubble baths, etc.. The massages are a great way for me to take an hour getting her to fall sleep. Nothing really gets her going anymore. When i ask her about trying some of these things or initiate with them, she gets mad, defensive and tells me i'm an asshole for objectifying her and only caring about my sexual needs.11) In fact, i've asked her what her fantasies are and she says she doesn't have any? WTF? How can that be honest or real? I've shared mine with her in the hope that the lines of communication open up, but to no avail. In fact, she just got mad and basically told me i was a pervert. They weren't that out there mind you. cumming in her mouth was one, sliding my penis between her breasts, watching her masturbate was another. No 3somes, no whips, no BDSM. 12) I had a very point blank conversation with her a few weeks back, asking what i can do to better satisfy her in bed. i said "i want to open up an honest and sincere line of communication to learn what i can do better to satisfy you in our sexual relationship. What can i do to make sex better, more enjoyable and more satisfying for you?" Was there something i could do to make sex better for her? Her response was to be defensive and got angry. She told me i was selfish and an "asshole". She said just because i want & think about sex a lot, i shouldn't project that on to her and to basically leave her alone. 13) She admits to masturbating in the general sense. As in she masturbated in the distant past and has done it before. However, she never ever admits to masturbating in the recent past, present or as a proxy for sex with me. She gets really defensive if i ask her if she masturbates, if she masturbated recently, how she masturbates, what feels good during masturbation, etc.. I can't decide if she secretly masturbates or not. I recently told her i hoped she did so she could feel satisfied and she got pissed for bringing up the subject. 14) she was never abused and comes from a seemingly average upbringing - so no weird hang ups on the surface15) In terms of her body image, she is relatively confident. Has areas she doesn't like, but will walk around naked in front of me and will have sex with lights on16) I am in really good shape, look very similar to when we dated. Wear same size pants as in college etc. etc.. If we were both say "8's" when we were dating, i think we'd still be considered the same level of attractiveness. No major changes to our appearances or bodies, etc.. 17) i help with kids, around the house, etc.. I am not even close to a couch potato but I admit i should probably do more of the chores. (I tried being superman for a while with chores and that didn't help the sex)18)I am 99% sure she is not having an affair19) A few days ago she told me doesn't want to have sex with me. Just point blank "I know you will turn this around on me, but I don't want to have sex with you". It wasn't in absolute terms of forever, but was pretty much telling me she is over the idea of sex with me for the foreseeable future. I told her thanks for being honest, i would rather she does that then we go through the game of me begging her for sex and her saying no multiple times a week. By the way, i've previously asked what the issue is before, when we are outside of the bedroom, and i get any number of excuses: I don't feel an emotional connection, i am too tired, after having kids hang on me all day - i don't want you touching me too, blah, blah,blah.

Thoughts on roles So I wrote a nice little java program to distribute the roles randomly. It has thrown up two really good evil teams. Wolves - Top, AN, TR , Interval (alpha) Vampires - Zarlak, Grinner, Danny1982, Damien (alpha) I mean I would seriously struggle to point at this stage which team is potentially better.. wolves may be just edge it since I rate AN and Interval a lot. In any case several first time evils!! Religion, Interval, Danny1982, Annihilate Now! and even Zarlak if you don't count weaste wolf. Two alphas are also good for the teams- Damo definitely needs the alpha to last long. PVs Angel - AVARiCE Seer - That's Hernandez Reviver - Levo91 Witness - Luminous Lizard Vigilante - Urban-ned Magisterate - ciderman90000 Roles only known to moderator Light Keeper - cw1984 cursed - Ed, The Taurean Die with a vengeance - FortBoyard Royal blooded - RedSky, Mr Anderson, The Neviller Miller - KM, StuCol101 I think these roles can make the game very interesting. I am not gonna write more about them now but will expand more as they come into play. Secondary roles Ghost - Zarlak Sheriff - Top Hah! I am sure Top will enjoy being in a power role. Funny how both the secondary roles went to the evils. Serial Killer - B19. ---- One major change I am making this time is starting the game with a lynch instead of a slaughter. Mainly for two reasons. One being almost all people have shown god enthusiasm for the game in sign up thread, I don't wanna lose two good players with out even starting. Plus I think the game is balanced more this way. Turn 1 Night Phase No slaughters to discuss for evils. But they have the auction to take care of. Vamps are off while wolves have not even logged in yet! Top comes in and just like everyone seems perplexed about the new format.. I wish people would stop moaning about new rules. There are no new rules!!!! Lizard chose to follows RedSky TH asks about The Religion!!!! What the fuck.. would love to know how he picked him out straight away. That's Hernandez is probably the best seer village could have. He is never slaughtered since evils think he could get lynched and he has some good instincts. Not to mention he thinks out side the box so will go for some odd picks that help the village uncover under the radar evils. I also feel sorry for TR, a first wolf and could di very early on! AVARice the angel also asks about a vamp... but the alpha one!! Damo. Ha! A lot of activity in first night it self. Zarlak seems too over- excited to me. His whole game with Urban-ned could come back to bite him I reckon. Irwolf did this sort of stuff which lead to his first day outing in eclipse game. Coming back to the auction stuff. The vamps seem keen on the actor role the most while wolves seem to want the seer and witness dodge. I reckon wolves are on the right track. My first instinct would have been to go for seer check at all costs. In any case, more action on auction can be found on the thread on wolf/ vampire forums. Eventually they all got following roles- Top- witness dodger AN - seer check TR - Disguiser Zarlak - actor Grinner- false royal blood Danny - Silencer ------- Turn 1 Day Phase So a lot of lynch time discussion Interval is having a stormer again! That boy has just is shooting up different horizons in this game. First he calls out Zarlak as a vampire yesterday. Now he has AVRICE down as a PV. Only problem for him is that he is the angel! So if they do slaughter him they will be helping the vamps!!! And B19 the SK gives me his target.. his first instinct is to go for The Neviller but changes to ... That's Hernandez!! Ha! The seer... wolves may be dodging a big bullet here... TR has already been fingered... AND Top looks likely to.. Also I think some mistakes by evils today - as a general note some of them having been posting too much - TR is inexperienced but as Cass has picked up, a couple of his posts have been very dodgy. A bit of bad luck for him since he is playing a wolf role for the first time while rest have had plenty of experience and no the mistakes newbie wolves can make - Zarlak has definitely been overexcited as Interval noticed in the wolf forum! And Annihilate Now!. ... I said in one of the games that he is potentially the best WW player on the caf. He produces yet another evidence by naming two vamps already ... Danny1982.. I really like him as a player.. seems he is going to continue with his aggressive style which as a wolf is a high risk/reward strategy... but the kind of strategy I always follow. Avarice with one of those sentences that scream PV Classic newbie mistake. Let's see if evil pick up on it As it stands cider is going to hang ! He is the magistrate! Meh.. I was hoping the new role will come into play Does not seem like he is going to fight to be saved as well. Shame! So cider has 6 and Weaste 4 votes with 25 mins to go.. mmm I can see a late band wagon forming on Weaste.. Top with his 2 votes will be crucial So now Top says he is going for Weaste that makes it 6 for weaste as well.. but but but.. cider's last vote was well before Weaste's so as it stands cider still goes.. mmmm I can see Cass changing his vote from cider though.. let's see.. cw as usual has it bang on A lot of people seemed to have zeroed in to their targets now.. cw with Top, Avarice with Zarlak, RedSky with Danny A bit of worry for the evils that IMO.. So in the end cider gets lynched. Interesting that he did not come out as a PV. It is an interesting tactic that. Basically what you are going for is for people to realise that if he was an evil, he would do a PV play but since he has not, he must not be an evil player. Only problem is that it is turn 1! So people are ok with lynching a normal village instead of outing a PV. Bah.. shame.. I was hoping the magistrate role would get to influence stuff!
Turn 2 Night Phase WTF AVARice has more or less come out as a PV now.. what is it with newbies and their paranoia that they will get slaughtered any time.. have some fucking balls man. So vamps have zeroed in on KM with Grinner doing the kill for giggles. While wolves are still not completely decided yet though cw might be their kill,, the light keeper which will make the next lynch anonymous.. Top and wolves have an interesting discussion regarding if they should slaughter active plays or not. Top as usual wants to keep them in to make the game interesting. This is an odd issue for caf WW. It is mainly because activity seems to vary too much between players. I really think it would be a less of the issue if the game starts with less number of players perhaps. Also certain level of normalisation needs to creep into caf games now. You don't need to post all day. If everyone is active for 2-3 hours before the lynch, that is enough time to have a good go at lynching someone. Oh dear what do we have here... Urban-ned is going for Cassius Claymore. A NRV. I have no idea what Urbs has picked up on, I have not gotten any evil vibes for CC at all.. very strange and risky kill at this stage. Cass won't be happy at all.... oh well at least I will have company in the dead forum now. Urban-ned's reaosning: TH meanwhile does not take the news of his demise well:
Hilarious.. right? He keeps doing it whenever he is a PV Turn 3 Night Phase Fuck me this game proving hard to keep up now between the two evil forums, lover forum, dead forum and the lovers forum!! Wolves at first think about going Damo but Top vetos that and instead they go on AN' hunch for a PV which is Domestic Tadpole. Mean while vamps have far interesting situation at hand with Danny more or less out in the open. He has come up with a very good plan IMO. Basically he will announce in the thread he is going after RS, either RS dies or of he does not then village knows he is evil. Almost Perfect. Almost. RedSky is of royal blood, a forgotten bastard who will survive his first slaughter! This is going to introduce a hilarious scenario in the village now. I doubt many would believe RS when he tells them he got a PM from me telling him he survived due to royal blood. Best thing is a wolf, Top, is attached to him so they will have to help him out! And keep him alive as long as they can! Ha! Urban goes for the safe vigilante kill of Danny Lizard follows Top AVARice asks about RedSky Turn 3 day phase This could turn out to be a crucial day. This is the time when village needs to start lynching evils if they want to win. They think they are off to a good start with RS not dying but alas... he is a royal blood. People with most at stake are wolves though since Top will die with RS. Some in the village inexplicable want to kill RedSky. Odd IMO. I don't agree with that at all even though it would unintentionally land them an evil. Forget about odds, how about usingh your head.. RedSky has been a obvious villager from the start. Top more or less come out in the open trying to save RedSky. Anyone not able to figure out them as lovers or in the same team at least needs to buy a clue. AN and RS meanwhile do a very good job on Zarlak. Who IMO has been very dodgy since the start. He could go tonight, either him or RedSky.. either way village will get an evil. But Zarlk as usual, fights hic corner and puts up a good defence. He needed to because several others like Ed had caught on to him. Inexplicably Top buys Zarlak's defence and in a weird tag team, both of them get Sky1981 lynched. These are the sort of lynches that lose the game for the village. Sky should have never been lynched.. a shocker. More so for Top/RS when they will find out that they saved a vamp in the end. Cheeky stuff by Top: RS has it spot on and is having one of his better games.. yeap If I had to grade the wolves and vamps so far I would say Damo is having the best game, he has not changes his style at all and is actually even posting against his team mates. Top has done very well as well thought having Sheriff has a crutch has helped him AN! started slow but is doing exceedingly well now IL and Zarlak have been very disappointing. Zarlak had definitely acted very oddly and really should be lynched tonight. IL has decided to go under the radar which will hurt him really bad later on. Grinner could go either way, let' see. Danny and TR were always going to struggle, being first time wolves. But Danny just chickened out big time. He should have posted yesterday and would have avoided the lynch then. Oh dear.. just as I list him as the bst evil so far... we have Damien making his first mistake of the game.. voting for RS.. odd
Turn 4 night phase Zarlak who had the actor role decided on village role in the end since being a ghost limited the PVs he could be. A mistake IMO. He should have gone for the alpha vampire role. That combined with AVArice clearing Damo with one of his posts would have put Damo in the clear for some time. In any case they are gonna slaughter the angel today! They pretty much know URbs is the vigilante and AVArice is some kind of PV. Initial mometum seems to be towards Urbanned but Zarlak changes that to AVARice.. good choice. Big kill for them Meanwhile.. wolves go for Solius who was SK's choice to kill.. meaning he would have to choose again in turn 4... Lizard follows Damien1990 Levo still refuses to revive anyone Turn 4 day phase Looks like this could be a simple enough lynch, Jake has put his foot in his mouth by saying something daft and villagers seem keen to lynch him. Odd that after 15 games, people still go for such daft lynches. They wanted to do this in robo's game with Danny as well. Before that Damo was sweating like a pig in the vamp forum when RS and AN were interrogating him. Was very funny reading his posts. That boy really panics way too early. Top also has a big blow out with Damo. First time seen Damo call someone a cock and all. I can't tell if he is acting or is genuinely wound up. Seems pretty angry in the wolf forum as well. Ed is the only one with sense and comes in and mentions how odd it is that Zarlak who topped the ffa yesterday is completely off radar. Just when it was looking like a boring lynch, wolves get AN to use his seer check power on Zaralk and ofcourse get the result back as a vampire. Seems like that info is too tempting for Top to deal with and he has decided to fish for Zarlak's lynch today itself. AN who is probably kicking himself for dropping Zarlak as well, joins him. BTW Top had previously PMed me to say he feels more loyalty to his lover RS than his wolf mates. Mmmmmm In any case, from a completely objective point of view, this is not a good move by wolves but I understand why it is tempting. But bar Interval, they have gone for it completely. Vamps must know something is up with this as well, should send the alarm bells ringing for them. Grinner meanwhile has given himself away. Poor stuff. That kind of wishy washy posts when asked about Zarlak may have worked in WW2 but not anymore. You can probably get away with defending someone outrightly now rather than use subtle posts to deflect attention from people or questions asked of you. Wolves has fingered him and would most definitely reveal him to village as well. In the end JakeC edges out Zarlak in the lynch! But Top got RS to vote for Zarlak and expecting impending doom.. comes out to him in the lover forum! Ooooohhh.. RedSky did say he would pull a BigRed from game 2 and side with evils. Instead he has decided to out Top as a wolf and himself as his lover. IL is not too happy with this stunt by Top My reaction would have been exactly the same if I had gone off and returned to see the shit pulled by my wolf mates. Turn 5 Night phase Wolves finally go for Damo and obviously miss... Meanwhile after another 100 posts by Urbanned about vigilante, vampires take him out.. Though Urban-ned was well on his way to redemption since his target was Annihilate Now! He does not get to kill when being killed however, I had to refer rules on this one and they said if mafia or wolves slaughter the vigilante he can't kill the same night. Ouch Lizard follows RedSky Levo yet to revive.. Turn 5 Day Phase Top and RS are gone today no matter what.. B19 poisoned them in turn 4 after his Solius poisoning failed Top though using his sheriff powers is more or less gonna cancel the lynch since villager seems intent on lynching them after RS came out with the info instead of going after Zarlak as Top wants. Interestingly RS has so far refrained from sharing his wolf suspects. Out of which at least one, TR has been confirmed by Top! Poor stuff IMO, this is phelans fuck up stuff from game 1. In any case I ask Top if he 100% wants to cancel, he answers Yes. I then end the phase and declare Top/RS dead by poisoning. Still some confusion in the village as to if it was SK or traitor. Odd... Some crying by RedSky about phase ending abruptly.. mmmm .. may be justified but then I did more or less spell out in the rules that a mod may end phase any time he sees fits. I am not going to warn posters regarding doing their last posts if they are about to be killed.
Turn 6 Night Phase Wolves go after Mr Anderson leading to yet another failed slaughter for them. While Vamps take out Scrumpet (their first choice is recruitment of Burrows but that is not part of the game). Bit of a mix up since Zarlak changed that to The Neviller but sent the PM only to KM. I did not get it and announced Scrumpet as dead. If the order for Neviller had gone in then they would have wasted a kill as well.. As it is Scrumpet dies and since he is the villager with die with a vengeance power, he gets to shoot someone dead. His first instinct is to go for Zarlak who is lynch fav. But instead goes his number 1 suspect Annihilate Now!. A ballsy call, a great call- something that brings village right back in the game! Meanwhile TN was selected Sheriff since almost all believed his post outing himself as a NRV. Turn 6 Day Phase Easy lynch - Zarlak goes though some people inexplicably wanted to kill Grinner first . Odd Turn 7 Day phase Village gets the new and that no one is slaughtered. Because wolves hit the serial killer and vamps hit the cursed. I have sent Ed his PM but think he will join late. Vamps are thrilled of course at this news, a new lease of life for them and makes the favourites for sure. IL is left alone with TR being his usual inactive self and seems annoyed at yet another missed slaughter.. hehe.. Bad news is that most people left in the village won't post much. So this will be a very slow affair now.. bah.. could be a bit of damp squib of an ending here even though the numbers are lined up for a close finish! ! Some activity in the village but Grinner looks set to go. IL trying to throw suspicion at Damo while Ando came out as royal blood. Nothing else really too exciting other than the witness conundrum I had to solve.. here is the thread on it from the dead forum - http://cafwolf.net/forum/threads/151-Dilemma-over-witness-role Turn 8 Night Phase So Grinner went. I disgaree with him not coming out as a vamp in the end. Should have and named who he considers wolf, no harm in doing that at all since he will be revealed to a vamp anyway in the morning. And as expected Damo spotted Levo after his posts faintly praising the reviver once Big Red was revived. So vamps will slaughter him while wolves are going to go after Lizard. IL smartly has him pegged as a witness! Dunno how he came to that conclusion, I can't see any slip up by Lizard. Also Weaste going on about how BR could be evil due to him being revived so suddenly... And with that village loses their last two main PVs Turn 8 Day Phase Was out so missed all the action. Just caught up a bit at night and in the morning. Fuck me! Never expected Sat to be so active. The day was all about Damo in the end. Since Turn 4 he has been feeling the pressure and cracking under it feeling his impending lynch. Even though IMO he was never close to being lynched any time since then. Bar game 4 (which was a perfect alpha performance and I don't think I will ever repeat that, I have been suspected in very game be it being a wolf or a villager. It is part of the game, Damo seems to hate it, would never excel in WW unless he takes that into his stride. RedSky was the same before and really only revelled in being a trusted villager and could not handle being suspected especially when he was evil. There was no need for Damo to come out with this post and the in the end, nothing was achieved with it except ensuring his lynch. Ando has been safe listed since TN came back as a royal blood, while Weaste being SK does not seem that nailed on. At least Top coming out ensured the lynching of Zarlak and Grinner. This has been a major OG Post lynch Ando has a brain fart and reveals he found TN as a royal blood. Meaning evils can safely go for his kill without their slaughter being wasted
Turn 9 Night Phase So the wolves and vamps have two clear targets here -TN and Ando. And as I thought they have not been able to avoid each other. IL and Ed both go for Ando and that's that. Ed gets to know TR is a wolf and IL gets ED's name. This has virtually killed off any chance of a vamp win. Funny how game has fluctuated between the two fractions- Vamps were early favs with TR being fingered and then Top getting tied down as a lover Wolves moved in the lead before they imploded trying to get Zarlak lynched They regained advantage by fingering Grinner before Scrumpet shot AN and Ed was recruited by wolves. Then Damo had a meltdown to leave Ed alone but still with a chance. And now this.... Turn 9 Day Phase Looks like it is gonna be between Weaste and B19. Everyone believes Weaste to be a SK and B19 a wolf. And are going to lynch B19 since they think they can leave SK for another day So B19 is going to get lynched for not being a SK when he is one. B19 plays a great move though. Comes out as evil and PMs me his diabolical plan And it has worked..... everyone switches to Weaste from B19 bar a few inactive. Weaste gets into a slanging match with Burrow.. hehehe The best part is that B19 announcing that he is killing IL has put the shitters up him. He is now planning a play of his own since he thinks he will be outed when there is no SK death. But he waits and waits and only comes out as a beholder with 17 mins to go! And... Names ED as an evil. Interesting .. he has clearly waited so long because he wanted to avoid Ed. But he could not, Ed is there and comes out as a vampire. A lot of scrambling and a hundred vote changes later, Ed goes. He did not reveal TR .. wants the other evil team to win.. hehe.. his ex mates won't be happy, at all... This marks the end of vampires challenge. Wolves clear favs now Turn 10 Night Phase Wolves slaughter TN.. Turn 10 Day phase Looks like B19 should go. What is silly is that no one is questioning as to why the sheriff was killed before the beholder... Odd .. very odd. B19 is having some fun in the thread with his several outings. If he had tried he could have easily convinced the village to lynch Weaste instead of him. Baffling how people still want to kill him based on Damo's words. In the end B19 goes. I am gonna speed this up and try to end this today itself. Turn 11 Night phase - Burrow slaughtered Turn 11 Day Phase Should be a walkover for IL and TR. But there is some late late sense by Smores who finally pegs IL down as a wolf. Looks like Weaste might come around as well.. but but.. he was bluffing.. Weaste is lynched game over!!!
Awards Best evil performance: Interval seems like the obvious choice... but I am gonna give it to B19 just for being too funny in the end. No but seriously, I thought IL started poorly but then picked off really well when Top and AN departed. Was awesome towards the end but smarter players would have caught his beholder act. Still going with B19 for him turning that lynch on the head by claiming to be a serial killer and for the fact that he could have survived another if he had carried on his defence. Best Villager: Hmmmm Pretty poor game from the village, almost all the evils they killed were either due to a help from the other evils or due to evils outing themselves. It comes down to between two villagers in the end- RedSky and EdWeatherAll. Ed was doing well and operating on good logic till he was turned due to being cursed. While RedSky had some great intincts - nailed Danny early on, was right to suspect Interval Level, suspected Zarlak though let it drop, suspected The Religion. In the end though he did not help the village with his info.. but still he takes it due to Ed being turned. Honourable mention: Scrumpet- AN kill was awesome. Desert Eagle of the game: Oh dear. Where to start. So many contenders. - Danny early on, bottling the evil role completely - Urbanned with going about with a vigilante is cool Tshirt - Levo refusing to revive for so long and when he did, praising himself leading to his slaughter. - Damo with his epic meltdown and coming out for no reason leading to his lynch. Mmmmmmm Tough to call... Urbanned edges it for the Cass kill as well I guess. Newbie of the game: AVARiCE. Did not do well in the game per-say but a very good WW player to join us. Puts the effort in and analyses a lot of things. Can hold his own as well
Excellent journal Crappy, although you missed some parts. RS wasn't the one who decided to out me - I suggested we came forward.
I don't even want to contemplate what could have been. I had IL on my suspect list for so long and never voted. bah. Being a villager is a clusterfuck and a normal one at that. credit to the players due. good game and all that.
Other than temptations Understandably so, he spotted Zarlak in no time and the only reason Zarlak ever survived one way or the other was because I decided Zarlak was a villager
There was no way I could write on everything.. I missed on loads. Was so fucking tough modding this game.
Sorry Damo but for me this is the best moment of the game, loved the exchange b/w danny and damo http://cafwolf.net/forum/threads/107-Turn-2/page6
I really had no clue as to who the last wolf was, and neither did anyone else. it would have been like playing Russian Roulette. The village was way too hung up on me being the last wolf, they would have lynched me in any case.
Can't believe Religion survived. Granted I didn't follow the thread much after I died but from what I saw the change in his style was drastic. Suppose the wolves did well killing off those that would have noticed that though...
I just have to say it again, I'm so sorry for being such a pain When I get a theory in my head about a player, I usually go with it until proven it's all wrong! Just ask Smores I take full blame for the village doing so poorly the last couple of days, but I honestly was too naive this time around.
I can't quote the relevant IL quote too... but yeah, you're spot on IL, it was a terrible move from me really, as I had no business going in their with Top, and I was already suspecting who I thought was a clear evil in Damo (and he was). But as Top said, it was just too tempting! The challenge that we could, potentially get Zarlak lynched when he hadn't even been in discussion all day was just too enticing... And if we had actually achieved it... well it would have been impressive! It all worked out for the best at least... but yeah, massively let down my wolfy amigos in the name of a good laugh! Oh and by the way, Scrumpet said in the dead thread that his convictions about me only grew stronger because you suspected me! So you inadvertidly killed me... though thats what needed to happen for us to win!
It's your first game in the mains and I think you did fine really. From what I've heard the newbie game is entirely different kettle of fish from the mains, so could be hard for some posters.
You were my only hope on Damo after I died Burrow! I thought for sure you'd really hammer on his use of deflection/last minute pleas/other gameplay changes... In fact, you might well have done and I missed it!
So are we doing the werewolf awards, surely their has been enough epic performances to make an award.
Yeah no wonder IL won, he was going against us all game We got so upset when he spoiled our Zarlak fun by causing everyone to suddenly question our motives.
I did! My only goal was to take down Damien in that game because it was so blatantly obvious that he was an evil After he died, I was sort of empty but really had to keep up the activity as it would seem dodgy as fuck if I turned back into an inactive after that.. I probably should've though, seing how it turned out afterwards
Oh and a big fuck you to the vamps for killing me the first time when I've ever been vocal. This could've been a great game for me, denied me that. Cunts.
You did fine for a first game in the mains. Ask Damien how badly a first mains game can go for some perspective.
I can assure you, after I spent so long defending myself the day before that was no fun. Until you came out. Then my mission to get you killed before me became the fun.
I was going to come out the day after I died, I was so fucking frustrated at that. The wolves would have been annihilated.
Holy shit You should quote that into here, it's a hilarious exchange. Damo: DO IT DANNY... DO IT NOW Danny: I'm not sure Damo Damo: DON'T QUESTION ME YOU CUNT... FUCKING DO IT Danny: I don't think it's a good idea Damo: DO IT Danny: Okay okay... calm down man... I'll do it because I both trust and love you Damien. Z: This better not go tits up... Damo: WAIT! Don't say anything! Z: ABORT ABORT Danny: Oh fuck... Damo: You tosser Danny...
D'oh. Fuck off, Top. I was trying to be the voice of sanity. Building up alibis as I called it. Our team was really good. It almost turned out to be a turf war between us and the vamps. The village had to just pick up the pieces.
Sorry about that. I was gonna kill TN, but then I realised I had already placed him on my suspect list and didn't want anyone making the connection. Of course, that didn't stop me from getting into a nice brawl with you after I had placed the kill order.

More Than 50 CITGO Locations To Raise Money for New Jersey and Pennsylvania Families Living with Neuromuscular Disease
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Local CITGO Marketers Sat Raj, Inc., MSS Enterprises, LLC., Multani Enterprises, Inc., ARFA Enterprises, Inc., PennJ Petroleum, and Margas, Inc. are raising money for the Greater Philadelphia Muscular Dystrophy Association's (MDA's) "Make a Muscle, Make a Difference" campaign. More than 50 participating CITGO locations across Pennsylvania and New Jersey are selling $1 and $5 football-shaped paper mobiles through Oct. 31. All proceeds from the campaign will benefit MDA programs from Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey to New Castle, Delaware, helping 2,500 local families.
"At MDA, we pride ourselves on being able to provide both help and hope to the families we serve. We help by offering practical services for patients and we bring hope through research to find a cure," said Carly Danielsen, executive director of the Greater Philadelphia MDA. "Although MDA is a national organization, all the money raised through the 'Make a Muscle, Make a Difference' campaign stays in the tri-state region to help families in our district. Our partnership with CITGO, a company so focused on doing good locally, really supports our mission."
The "Make a Muscle, Make a Difference," campaign is just one way that these six local CITGO Marketers are supporting MDA. These companies will also launch a holiday stocking mobile program in December to raise even more money to help families in the area who are battling neuromuscular disease.
"Providing full service to our customers in New Jersey sometimes makes it more difficult to implement certain campaigns, but we're making it easy for our consumers to support MDA. Our attendants will wear 'Make a Muscle, Make a Difference' buttons throughout the campaign to help start the conversation," said Sat-Raj, Inc. president Steve Multani. "We are always looking for avenues to give back to our community, and being a part of this program for the 2013 year is a great way to do so. Together with MDA and CITGO, we'll 'Make a Difference'." Sat-Raj, Inc. supplies 12 CITGO stations in the state of New Jersey.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) raises awareness for forty-three different neuromuscular diseases by funding more than 250 research projects around the world annually, promoting public awareness, and providing individual and family support at 200 national medical clinics. With patients spanning from infancy to adulthood, MDA's practical services run the gamut from medical multidisciplinary clinics, multiple doctor visits, occupational therapists and medical equipment available on loan. CITGO is the largest corporate sponsor for MDA, raising more than $160 million over the last 27 years through the generosity of its employees and its network of Marketers and Retailers.
CITGO is committed to giving back to the local communities it serves through its network of locally owned CITGO locations. Local CITGO Marketers and Retailers such as Sat-Raj, MSS Enterprises, Multani Enterprises, ARFA Enterprises, PennJ, and Margas, own and operate more than 420 CITGO locations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware and are proud to support local organizations, including MDA Greater Philadelphia.
CITGO, based in Houston, is a refiner, transporter and marketer of transportation fuels, lubricants, petrochemicals and other industrial products. The company is owned by PDV America, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A., the national oil company of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

I can understand why those more insulated from the coalface of email marketing may get confused with the seeming reluctance of some email marketers to increase their email frequency.
Taking a detached view of the numbers, might lead some to suggest that purely increasing the amount of emails you send to your list could increase your revenue.
This can sometimes work, and as long as you are closely monitoring open/click rates and engagement metrics like response recency, you could be OK.
When upping frequency, inbox 'placement' also needs close monitoring, as it can lead to less engagement and by default ending up in the junk folder.
The coalface marketer knows this, and it is this knowledge of the possible implications of over-mailing that hold many back.

New changes to email accounts at Yahoo have the potential to frustrate marketers and cause privacy concerns across the globe.
Privacy has never been so important to all of us, and invasion of privacy has never been feared as it is today.
Countless reports over the past few years around hacking and miss-use of data has reached the top of the news headlines, which makes Yahoo!'s recent move in releasing dormant email accounts, all the more puzzling.

We had a hunch that word choice in email subject lines have a strong effect on response rates. So, we tested 287 keywords across a sample of 2.2bn emails to see which work, and which don't.
Why? Because President Obama has done more for email marketing than any world leader in the history of mankind. How? By focusing on subject line testing, his digital team optimised their donation campaigns to generate hundreds of millions of dollars online.
Despite Obama's best efforts, most marketers still view email marketing as the Bluth Company's Banana Stand of Arrested Development fame: a more boring and less sexy marketing channel than pretty much anything else imaginable.
But – and never forget this – there's always money in the banana stand! There is great power in optimising subject lines.

In the fast moving world of digital marketing the value of email for driving sales is occasionally overlooked as shiny new technologies emerge and distract our attention from what actually works in terms of bringing in revenue.
However the new Econsultancy/Adestra Email Marketing Census again highlights the importance of email as a sales channel, as just over half (55%) of all company respondents could attribute more than 10% of their total sales to the email marketing channel, with 18% of respondents stating that email accounted for over 30%.
The Email Marketing Census looks at the amount and type of email marketing carried out by organisations, the way that email marketing is conducted, issues affecting the industry and the effectiveness of email compared to other digital marketing channels.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a blog on how the new Microsoft WSRD data was impacting email marketing. For webmail accounts managed by Microsoft, WSRD data is increasing effecting whether your email goes to junk, or into the inbox.
These accounts relate to quite a high percentage of some retailers' email lists (50%+) so how Microsoft treats your mail can have a large impact on the revenue you make from email.
In order to ensure your emails stay in the inbox, this post takes you through developing the customer relationship and increasing user engagement through producing a welcome/nursery programme.

Education and healthcare organisations achieve the highest average click-through rate (CTR) on email marketing campaigns, while computer and telecoms companies yield the lowest results.
The findings come from a new report from Silverpop, which measures the CTR as the number of unique clicks in the email message divided by the number of delivered email messages in a campaign.
The report shows that the education sector gets the highest average CTR (5.8%) and its top quartile are also the highest achievers overall (12.8%).
Overall top-quartile performers had click-through rates that were nearly four times higher than the median CTR of 2.3%. In contrast, bottom-quartile performers didn't even muster 1% click-throughs.

I must confess to being one of those people who likes their spices alphabetized and their mail sorted and filed upon opening. But even I have trouble keeping my garage organized - it's certainly closer to this messy state than the orderly one below!
And apparently I'm not alone in this struggle. According to a recent survey by Gladiator GarageWorks, conducted online as part of the Ipsos Omnibus in February, only seven per cent of Canadians say their garage is truly organized. To put that in perspective, the majority of Canadians in the study - 76 per cent - say they've tried to whip their garages into shape.
That may be due to just how much people hate this task. More than a third - 38 per cent - of Canadians said they would rather pull weeds than tackle their garage, 16 per cent would rather do their taxes and 11 per cent would rather go to the dentist.
But while we may not want to actually do the work, we do know what we'd like to see there: dream garages include "organized oasis" - for 56 per cent of women and 33 per cent of men - a "wicked workshop", 27 per cent of men, and a "gearhead garage", 22 per cent of men.
Here's the "seven deadly sins" of garage disorganization, to help inspire and motivate (or at least entertain) you!
1. Procrastination: Almost one third (29 per cent) of Canadians are garage organizational procrastinators. Ontarians (35 per cent) and Atlantic Canadians (31 per cent) are the most likely to put off the chore, while 47 per cent of Ontarians and 56 per cent of Atlantic Canadians say they don't have the time to clean.
2. Frustration: Almost a quarter - 25 per cent - of Canadians get annoyed and frustrated when they can't find things in their garage.
3. Abandonment: More than 20 per cent of Canadians say they use their garage as a dumping ground for unwanted items.
4. Envy: Seventeen per cent of Canadians admit to being envious of their neighbour's garage.
5. Hoarding: Seventeen per cent of Canadian males fess up to keeping so much stuff in their garage that there isn't even room for their car.
6. Despair: One in 10 Canadians have given up on having the garage of their dreams, with 35 per cent of Ontarians saying it would take more than a weekend to get theirs organized.
7. Stink: Only two per cent of Canadians admitted to finding an unidentifiable foul odour in their garage at some point (we can link ours to the garbage strike!).

21 November 2008
Pupils at Tir-y-Berth Primary School are helping to reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfill by enjoying a waste-free lunch.
Caerphilly county borough council's waste minimisation team has put together a toolkit to help schools plan and run a successful waste-free lunch scheme. The toolkit (on CD ROM) includes lots of useful documents for teachers, such as information on how to carry out a waste-audit and a spreadsheet to record data and calculate results. There is also a section for parents with ideas and tips on how to pack a healthy, waste-free lunch.
In Tir-y-Berth Primary, packed lunch and canteen waste was weighed on a normal day (by members of the Eco-Council and Caerphilly's waste team), and again after the school implemented some of the ideas on the disk. The effort put in by staff, pupils and parents resulted in a reduction of more than 20% (4.5kg) on just one day.
During the first waste audit they found half eaten sandwiches, biscuits and fruit – lots of money wasted! The school decided to compost leftover fruit, encourage use of reusable containers (instead of foil and cans) and hand out reward stickers to pupils who finished all of their meals. These were just some of the ideas that made this scheme a success.
Sally Everson, teacher at Tir-y-Berth Primary School said, "The waste-free lunch project was fantastic and really helped the children acknowledge the impact they can have on reducing waste in school. It is a project we are going to continue and develop alongside the school council."
If Tir-y-Berth Primary School continue with their campaign, not only will they significantly reduce the amount of waste they send to landfill, but they may also see a cost saving by reducing the number of refuse bins required.
The toolkit has been developed in partnership with Caerphilly's Healthy Schools team to stress the importance of making lunches healthy as well as waste-free.
For more information on the waste-free lunch scheme, please contact Caerphilly's Waste Minimisation Team on 01495 235428.

Welcome to this week's homestead update.
Last week, I forgot to talk about the beekeeping meeting I attended. When I took the beekeeping short course, it included a year's membership to the Susquehanna Beekeepers, that's my local beekeeping organization. Each month, we have a different speaker that's an expert on some part of beekeeping. This month the speaker was an expert on the Small Hive Beetle. I learned quite a lot about them. They just made it to my area, so lucky me, I get me bees late int he year and we just started having problems with the SHB. But according to the expert, there's not a lot that we need to worry about when it comes to the SHB. As long as the hive is strong, the bees are able to keep the SHB in check. Continue reading

The Games That Play Us: Tight
by Enzo Flojo
Saturday, 28 July 2012
FEU TAMARAWS over ADU SOARING FALCONS, 65-62
Man, you gotta love these Tamaraws. They like it tight and down-the-wire.
This was the third game they played that was decided by less than a handful of points.
This was also their third straight win, and, consequently, they're now at solo first with a 3-win 0-loss card.
But wait, that could've just as easily been a 0-win 3-loss card. That's how tight their games have been.
What's really impressive, however, is not exactly how FEU has beaten its foes, but WHO they've beaten.
UST by 1.
DLSU by 2.
Adamson by 3.
Yes, there's a very elementary arithmetic pattern going on, but try not to focus on that. Focus, instead, on the fact that all three teams are potential Final Four teams this season (yes, include the Falcons there even if the depletion of their roster has been exposed and expressed too many times already).
Sure, they've yet to go up against, arguably, the top two teams this season (NU & Ateneo), but, at least based on how they've been playing these past few games, FEU fans can count on Coach Bert Flores's boys to really give 'em some hell.
And the guy most responsible for giving Coach Leo Austria hell in this encounter?
Terrence Romeo.
This was quite a surprise for me, since I've made no bones about critiquing his offense. In this game, he was not just offensively potent, he, quite literally, was making waves all over the hardwood. Romeo shot 9-of-15 from the floor and 4-of-4 from the line for a total of 23 points while also grabbing 8 rebounds, dishing out 6 assists, getting 2 steals, and blocking 2 shots. The only wrinkle, really, was his 1-of-5 clip from beyond the arc. This was easily Romeo's best performance of Season 75 so far, and one of the best of any player bar none.
The difference between the Romeo in this match and the ones in FEU's first two games? Shot selection. Once again, Romeo chucked the most shots of any Tamaraw, but he didn't settle for straight up jumpers as often as he usually does. He drove to the hole, he finished on the break, and he was just outright on attack mode. It looked like he was out to prove something, and, unfortunately for Adamson, he did exactly that in this game.
As great as Romeo was, however, it was someone else who really became the x-factor for the Moraytans. That guy was FEU newbie Mark Belo, who came off the pine to score 9 markers, collar 9 caroms, distribute 2 dimes, get 1 theft, and reject 1 shot. Despite fouling out with less than 6 minutes to play, Belo was the picture of efficiency, and we'll probably seem more of him as FEU continues to chug along.
A lot of credit should go Adamson's way, though. More than a week after getting beaten by the Eagles, the Falcons had all the reason in the world to feel deflated, but in this game they were anything but. Allen Etrone was scorching from rainbow country, Rodney Brondial was solid down low, and Jericho Cruz had a relatively good all-around performance.
The guys who were missing were Adamson's top two guys. Eric Camson scored 11 points, but he shot just 2-of-7 from the field and grabbed only 3 rebounds. Alex Nuyles, meanwhile, had only 2 points in 26 minutes of play. Needless to say, Adamson fans want a lot more from their much-ballyhooed stars.
I'm also sure FEU fans wouldn't mind if their own ballyhooed stars would produce a blowout anytime soon (calling UP and UE), but, as long as they end up winning, they probably also wouldn't mind these tight and down-the-wire ones.
Notable Performers:
Terrence Romeo (FEU) – 23pts, 8rebs, 6asts, 2stls, 1blk
Mark Belo (FEU) – 9pts, 9rebs, 2asts, 1stl, 1blk
Rodney Brondial (AdU) – 11pts, 7rebs, 1ast, 1blk

2009 Water Tattva Mantra
The Water Tattva is associated with the Second Chakra and the reproductive system. This is where creativity begins at its most primal source. Our emotions give us the energy that feeds our passions. When our emotions are not allowed to be processed in a healthy way, they start to control us. When we clear unproductive emotional patterns within ourselves, we can flow from an authentic and joyful place—a state of emotional transparency in which we have nothing to hide, no hidden agendas. Emotional transparency is the basis of true intimacy in relationship with ourselves, others and the Infinite.

BREAKING NEWS: House Approves Budget Agreement, 332-94
Don Warmkey - Jamestown Rediscovery Archaeologist
Jamestown, Virginia Saturday, May 12, 2012
On May 14, 1607, 104 English settlers landed at Jamestown Island, Virginia to establish a colony for the Virginia Company. Thought to be lost to history, the original fort was unearthed in 1994. We visited Jamestown to learn how the story of the 1607 settlers is being revealed everyday through the study of artifacts, and how artifacts are conserved for future scholars.
This is one of three American Artifacts programs featuring archaeology at Jamestown.

The warm weather has Myrtle Beach businesses saying this tourist season is off to a good start.
Business owner Nathan West runs Airbrush 66 off Ocean Boulevard. He's been in business for five years now with his son. West expects with the weather and Myrtle Beach's comparatively low gas prices will have a positive affect on business this summer. He says gas prices are cheaper here than where he previously ran an airbrush shop, Daytona Beach, Florida.
"If I was a mother and father and had three kids and I'm going to go on vacation, if I could save six to 700 dollars, then I'm going to Myrtle Beach," he said.
Tourists seem to be agreeing. Numbers from the Clay Brittain Jr. Center for Resort Tourism show spring break tourism is slightly up this year from last by 2.3 percent.
The current average unleaded gas prices in Myrtle Beach are around $3.65 cents. That's more than 20 cents below the national average of $3.84. It's also far below competitor beaches like Wilmington where the average is $3.85 and Daytona Beach where the average is $3.92.
Annie Melton and her family drove from Louisville, Kentucky to Myrtle Beach for spring break this year. She says gas and weather were the deciding factors into why they came here.
"Well first of all gas was $3.99 in Louisville, which is outrageous. Today they said it was 68 there, rather cool. But here it's beautiful!" Melton said.

Not many small business owners have the opportunity to travel anywhere in the world to grow their businesses, but as a winner of British Airways' "Face of Opportunity" contest, that's just what Georgi Georgiev '10 did. Passionate about travel and languages, Georgiev founded Languatica, a global language immersion travel company, soon after his 2010 graduation from the Holt School. By January 2011, his entrepreneurship had caught the eye of the global airlines and won him a free ticket to any of their locations—for the purpose of stimulating business growth through face-to-face interaction. "This once-in-a-lifetime event comes as we are seeking expansion into the European and Asian markets, and this opportunity will provide unlimited networking prospects," Georgiev said of his award. He signed 24 additional language programs to his company as a result of his five-week around-the-world trip.
An international affairs major, Georgiev was thinking big from the moment he stepped onto the Rollins campus after leaving his home in Bulgaria. "I was given a dream to continue my higher education at one of the best institutions in the United States," he said. "I came to Rollins seeking every opportunity that the school provided inside and outside the classroom." He sought and found them. In his years at Rollins, Georgiev established and served as president of the campus Rotaract Club, served as vice president of the International Student Organization, became one of the first Holt School members of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, participated on Rollins' varsity sailing team, and volunteered for several charities, including Holiday FunFest and Habitat for Humanity. During school breaks, he traveled.
Inspired by entrepreneurs such as Richard Branson and Steve Jobs, Georgiev—who has now traveled 35 countries and learned three languages—is still thinking big and maximizing opportunity. He recently moved his company from Hilton Head Island to New York City. "I came to realize the importance of location for growing my company and myself, and decided to move to New York, one of the rapidly emerging start-up scenes," he said. "We are currently in the process of partnering with a New York City-based language learning technology company, which will open up new markets for us. We are a three-employee company at the moment, expecting to grow in the next year."

Hi, I'm Erin. I am the Middle Sister. THE Middle Sister. Not to sound overly important, but I am the inspiration for Middle Sister wines. I am the sister sandwiched between my older sister, Natalie and my younger brother, Ryan. The one in the middle. Not the boss and not the baby. Somehow I needed to forge my own way.
I admit, sometimes I did it in a way that other people considered rather "memorable." You know the kind of memorable where everybody's sitting down for Thanksgiving, grateful for all your blessings, and you're all having a beautiful moment and then somebody goes, remember the time that Erin DOT DOT DOT. And you have to kind of laugh and go along with it but it's actually pretty embarrassing. I'm that sister.
Anyway, my mom's best friend and my older sister started the wine company that makes Middle Sister wines, and they thought that it would be hysterical to make a wine dedicated to Middle Sisters. Yes, I am an official muse.
For some reason, I have always been the fascinating character in the family. I'm not sure when it started. Maybe it was in day care, when I masterminded the toddler break out. Me, my older sister, and my future ex-finance (that's a whole other blog) decided we wanted to go out for Chinese food. So I said, follow me. It was like an episode of Rug Rats. Eventually, we were recaptured and day care security procedures were COMPLETELY revised.
Perhaps you've heard of Joseph and His Coat of Many Colors? Well, I was Erin and Her Hair of Many Colors. I am creative and like to try new things. One condition of employment for my first job as an intern in the public relations department of a winery was that I had to reduce the number of colors in my hair to three. What a dumb rule.
I could go on and on, but then I would be out of things to say for my next blog. For example, I have perfected the perfect application of lipstick. It only takes forty steps and forty minutes.
I hope you will tune in from time to time and see what's up with me, the Middle Sister of Middle Sister wines.

A specific plan is a tool for the systematic implementation of the general plan. It effectively establishes a link between implementing policies of the General Plan and the individual development proposals in a defined area. A specific plan may be as general as setting forth broad policy concepts, or as detailed as providing direction to every facet of development from the type, location and intensity of uses to the design and capacity of infrastructure; from the resources used to finance public improvements to the design guidelines of a subdivision. The proposed Specific Plan is the first specific plan proposed under the Squaw Valley General Plan and Land Use Ordinance, which was adopted by Placer County in 1983. The proposed project includes limited changes (i.e., amendments) to the land uses previously approved for the site in the General Plan. The proposed project also includes a project-level development proposal (i.e., tentative map) that requires additional entitlements for a portion of the Plan area. These changes and additional entitlements require evaluation under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The County has determined that these changes and additional entitlements could result in potentially significant impacts on the environment, and has therefore determined that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared to evaluate these potential impacts.
Public Comments on the Notice of Preparation (received during the Notice of Preparation comment period from October 10 through November 9, 2012)
Initial Study - October 2012
The first phase of the Village at Squaw Valley Specific Plan would offer a range of lodging and recreational activities to serve guest and resident populations throughout the seasons. Phase 1 would be anchored by three condominium-hotel projects with different lodging options ranging from family-friendly to luxury accommodations. Designed to provide complementary uses within the existing resort environment, the major recreational components in Phase 1 include an outdoor winter ice skating rink/summer performance area adjacent to the Funitel Plaza, and an indoor water-focused Mountain Adventure Center (MAC). The MAC would offer activities such as indoor rock climbing, water-based recreation and rides in an extensive indoor/outdoor pool system, and additional entertainment options such as a bowling alley and a multi-generational arcade.

Walking Palestine: 25 Journeys into the West Bank (Interline Walking Guides) by Stefan Szepesi
With the images of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so dominant in our minds, walking for leisure is the one activity probably least associated with the West Bank region. But Stefan Szepesi's book wanders well off the beaten track of Palestine as only a synonym for occupation and strife, exploring its inspiring natural and cultural landscape, its intriguing past and present, and the hospitality of its people. The book takes first-time walkers and experienced hikers, as well as armchair explorers, through Palestine's steep desert gorges, along its tiny herders' trails, and over its quiet dirt roads running past silver green olive groves. With side stories and anecdotes on heritage, history, culture, and daily life in the West Bank, the book ventures into the traits and character of Palestine today. Walking Palestine also offers a wealth of practical walking tips, including references to local guides, the West Bank's best leisure spots and countryside restaurants, and charming places to spend the night.
Only Pack What You Can Carry: My Path to Inner Strength, Confidence, and True Self-Knowledge by Janice Holly Booth
Magnetically written by former CEO of a North Carolina Girl Scout Council and award winning CEO for the Western New York chapter of a national arts-in-education organization, this uniquely engaging travel journal describes four keys to unlocking personal and spiritual fulfillment: solitude, introspection, courage, and commitment. Through a series of compelling travel essays and deeply thoughtful memoirs, Janice Booth draws readers into each adventure-ranging from a solo hike through Northern California to galloping across the fields of Ireland to a short stint with the Circus Arts learning the flying trapeze-and shares her secrets to a fuller life through traveling alone. Step by step, she demonstrates why leaving everything - and everyone - behind for a few days (or more!) is the best path to inner strength, confidence, and true self-knowledge.

A Sense of Direction: Pilgimage for the Restless and the Hopeful by Gideon Lewis-Kraus
Irreverent, moving, and thought-provoking, Lewis-Kraus riffs on the perpetual war between discipline and desire, and its attendant casualties. Across three pilgrimages and many hundreds of miles, he completes an idiosyncratic odyssey to the heart of a family mystery.
