How Will The Visa And MasterCard Merchant Settlement Affect You?
"Our decision to settle is based on our belief that MasterCard and our stakeholders are best served by an amicable resolution," said Noah Hanft, MasterCard's General Counsel and Chief Franchise Integrity Officer in a statement issued in July 2012. "Although we have strong defenses to all claims, a settlement avoids years of litigation and uncertainties that are inherent in such cases. We believe that today's settlements should resolve all issues with the merchant community."
In a statement issued by Visa in July 2012, Joseph W. Saunders, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Visa Inc said "We believe settling this case is in the best interests of all parties. We are comfortable with the terms, which we do not anticipate will impact our current guidance. Visa is well positioned to help drive the migration to electronic payments in the U.S. and globally."
Why are many merchant groups opposed to the settlement?
Most, if not all, major merchant associations have spoken out against the settlement, including the National Restaurant Association and National Grocers Association. Kantor said that the biggest problems with the settlement are that it doesn't address the fact that Visa and MasterCard set the fees for their bank, eliminating price competition benefits, and it doesn't remove on merchants with regard to credit cards. Because the settlement will be split between many merchants, each owner's portion may be relatively small, compared to the fees paid. "To come away from 7 years of litigation and have the situation worse is not what merchants had in mind," Kantor says.
Another issue concerning some merchants is that the settlement prohibits them from filing future lawsuits over interchange fees, even if new technologies are created for payments. "Through the releases from further liability, the settlement allows the banks and credit card companies to continue to raise interchanges fees even if the practices are extended into mobile payments or any new payment systems. This binds future merchants who aren't even born yet to these terms." says Ed Mierzwinski, Consumer Program Director at U.S. Public Interest Research Group.
How might the settlement affect you?Merchants are likely to continue to build interchange fees into prices and customers who pay by cash or debit card will effectively pay those buried interchange fees. "The one who is paying unfairly high is the person who uses cash or debit, because they are helping to subsidize a fee that it isn't being caused by their transaction," says John Ulzheimer, President of Consumer Education for SmartCredit.com. Under the settlement, merchants are now able to charge a fee for credit customers; Ulzheimer anticipates that in the future, retailers will experiment with a dual pricing system (one price for cash/debit and another for credit customers).
Many experts and merchants predict that after eight months of reduced interchange fees, rates will return to previous levels and possibly even increase. Merchants may pass increased costs on to customers through raising prices or charging a checkout fee. "If it's approved, consumers will continue to pay extra money for the swipe fees. Their pockets will be secretly drained and they won't know how it happened," Mierzwinski says.

Abdominal laparoscopy is a useful aid in diagnosing disease or trauma in the abdominal cavity with less scarring than with a large abdominal incision. Large operations such as liver and pancreatic resections may begin with laparoscopy to exclude the presence of additional tumors (metastatic disease) that would preclude curative resection. The procedure is usually done in the hospital under general anesthesia, (however it may be done under local anesthesia).

With three appointments in June, President Barack Obama is closing the gap on major vacancies in the inspector general ranks. But high-profile watchdog vacancies still remain at the Interior, Labor and Homeland Security departments.
On Capitol Hill, the long wait to get permanent appointees into top IG posts was riling members of both parties. In June, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), called on the president to fill the permanent IG posts at the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development. Additionally, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) promised to hold up all State Department confirmations until an IG was named for that agency.
Obama nominated Steve Linick, currently IG at the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), for the State IG position on June 27. The post has been vacant for five years and the subject of increasing controversy because of the ongoing investigation into the government's response to the attack in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others.
The president also nominated Deputy IG Michael Carroll to be permanent IG at USAID and Jon Rymer to be IG at the Defense Department. Rymer is currently IG at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and was interim IG at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A burgeoning scandal at DHS is ramping up pressure on Obama to name a permanent IG. Acting IG Charles Edwards allegedly gave his wife a job in violation of anti-nepotism rules, abused agency resources to attend graduate school classes in Florida, misused government vehicles, shared whistleblower information with agency officials, and a host of other violations. They are detailed in a scathing letter from Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairwoman and ranking member, respectively, of the Financial and Contracting Oversight Subcommittee of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Edwards has until July 19 to respond to the allegations.
The challenges for acting IGs
According to former DOD IG Joseph Schmitz, acting IGs are at a disadvantage because they lack the independence and clear lines of communication that Senate-confirmed appointees have.
"A Senate-confirmed IG has six congressional committees to which he or she reports almost as if they are a board of directors," Schmitz told FCW. They are the authorizing committees, appropriations subcommittees, and government oversight committees in the House and the Senate.
"When you get a letter from the chairman and ranking member of a committee, it gets your attention," he said. "You pretty much have to respond."
Joe Newman, director of communications at the Project on Government Oversight, said the president can remove a Senate-confirmed IG, but he has to notify Congress before doing so. "It means they are going to be scrutinized," said Newman, whose organization has been vocal about the need to fill IG vacancies.
Schmitz, who wrote "The Inspector General Handbook," said acting or temporary IGs do not have the opportunity to develop relationships with members of Congress, which begins with the confirmation process. Acting IGs are further handicapped by their status as civil servants working inside the institutions they are supposed to monitor.
"You have to make judgment calls that might not be viewed favorably in your department, where your livelihood is at stake," Schmitz said.
"With an acting or temporary IG, you have someone who is basically working for the secretary" of his or her agency, Newman said. "That can be problematic."
Furthermore, deputies who are thrust into acting IG roles are not always suited to the top post. "You might have someone who is a great auditor but not someone who has the personality to be a lightning rod," he said. Schmitz agreed that the IG job isn't for everybody. "When you're an IG, you have to go in to the boss and say, 'This is a really ugly baby, and it's yours,'" he said. "That's what they teach you at Army IG school."
The nominations of Rymer at Defense and Linick at State should help those agencies, but also create new vacancies at FDIC and FHFA. In addition to the unfilled slots at Interior, DHS and Labor, there are IG vacancies at the Capitol Police, the Federal Maritime Commission and other agencies.
"We hope it doesn't go five years before the FDIC vacancy is filled," Newman said. "Hopefully, this is a sign that the administration is starting to give IGs priority."

No Inspector General should be able to serve more than 7 years, period. Rymer's short tenure at the SEC OIG should be carefully examined during his confirmation hearing.
This administration has had well over 4 years to fill these positions - but has had no problems on very quickly creating the biggest bunch of czars for his cronies. The fact that the IG's are to stop fraud, waste and abuse, adds to the hugh pile of evidence that this administration is likely the most corrupt ever, as well as incompetent.
I do not believe that Congress should approve Mr. Rymer's nomination given my experience with him at the FDIC. I painstakingly documented and reported to Mr. Rymer and his deputies, how FDIC officials were ignoring my concerns and warnings about the problems I was seeing at Washington Mutual.
I provided evidence (shown below) to Inspector General Rymer and his staff a detailed account of my significant concerns that went ignored by my senior agency officials month by month until it was too late to take action. I provided this information to Mr. Rymer and his staff in March 2009, a year before Mr. Rymer and my manager went before Congress to provide their testimony on the failure of Washington Mutual.
None of the information I presented to Mr. Rymer and his staff made it into the IG's final report, nor did Mr. Rymer bring to light any of my information during his testimony before Congress. I knew my manager, Associate Director, John Corston, would likely not be forthcoming in his testimony before Congress, and I was right.
I provide one telling example, below, of a disclosure I provided Mr. Rymer and his assistant. It is unfortunate that this disclosure just like the others I provided to Mr. Rymer and his staff went unaddressed. We can see that Mr. Rymer does not appear to be supportive of "whistleblowers." Incidentally, the Office of Special Counsel and Merit System Protection Board have not considered any of my disclosures to the Office of Inspector General, to the Ombudsmen, to the Chief Auditor, or to the FDIC chairman to be "whistleblower" disclosures covered by the Whistleblower Protection Act.
This, of course, is a misapplication of law by those government watchdog authorities and one more item that Congress ought to consider when deciding to approve Mr. Rymer or not as Inspector General of the Department of Defense.
Mr. Rymer became the FDIC inspector general in 2006. He was put under the spotlight when he briefed Congress in 2010 on the failure of Washington Mutual Bank, the largest bank failure in the nation's history. FDIC and the Office of Thrift Supervision were heavily criticized for their lack of oversight of Washington Mutual, whose collapse prefaced the widespread financial meltdown.

A substantial majority of Americans appears to be firmly opposed to changing the definition of marriage, arguably society's most important institution. But an initiative drive launched on Tuesday across Arizona that would prohibit civil-union type legal protections and work-related benefits to domestic partners gives pause.
Marriage, rooted far back in prehistory, ought not be tinkered with to satisfy a minority that wants to do away with its fundamental "one man, one woman" application. But the Constitution does not turn its back on even a minority of one when that individual's civil liberties are threatened. That is what is meant by equal protection of the laws.
It has been argued credibly that the civil rights of gays and unmarried adult members of a household can be protected without changing the legal definition of marriage. The best way, it seems to us, is by recognizing civil unions in the manner that Vermont pioneered several years ago.
But the Protect Marriage in Arizona initiative would have none of that. No gay marriage, no civil unions. In fact, it would ban protections of any kind offered by local governments to their employees for domestic partners, whether they are homosexual or heterosexual.
That not only is unnecessary to "protect marriage," it is a mean-spirited attempt to punish a minority of citizens for a way of life deemed sinful by accusers whose own lives are affected not a whit by it.
Like most other states, Arizona has reaffirmed the definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman. But Arizona also has a long and honored tradition of libertarian-style conservatism that aims to keep government out of our personal lives.
Arizona's conservatism was most eloquently articulated and championed by Barry Goldwater, who was as suspicious of the religious right as he was of the bleeding-heart left. Even after his long, influential career in the U.S. Senate, when the rest of his Republican party was grousing about then-President Clinton's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays in the military, Goldwater offered with characteristic wit that he didn't care who served in the military, "as long as they can shoot straight."
As the staggering divorce rate shows, the institution of marriage could use some strengthening. This initiative won't do that. Nor will it force gay people to go straight. What it will do is impose a needless and onerous hardship on domestic partners, regardless of sexual preference, who had begun to win some support for legal protections that can make a household a bit more secure and stable.
That's just plain wrong and it should be stopped.

Talisman Energy's CEO Discusses Q1 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Please refer to the cautionary advisories in the May 1, 2012, news release and Talisman's most recent Annual Information Form, which contain additional information about the applicable risk factors and assumptions.
I would like to remind everyone that this conference call is being recorded on Tuesday, May 1, at 8:30 a.m. Mountain Time.
I will now turn the conference over to Mr. John Manzoni. You may begin your conference.
John A. ManzoniThank you, Michelle. Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. And thank you for joining our call today. As usual, I'm joined by the management team here in Calgary, who will help to answer your questions after Scott and I have given you the main points on the quarter. A word about commodity price outlook is context to what I shall talk about in terms of our capital program for the year. Gas prices here in North America continue to reflect the combination of oversupply and an unusually warm winter and have remained below what we believe to be a necessary long term equilibrium price. However, with the injection season now upon us, it's quite possible that this gets even worse before it gets better and we've adjusted our capital plans accordingly. There are some early voices of optimism that the coal switching, which has occurred over the last quarter will play a role in accelerating the recovery, but I don't think anyone is expecting positive news until at least the end of this year. And we need to be ready for this to last well into 2013. Oil prices have been strong, and we believe Brent will continue to be underpinned at the $90 to $100 a barrel range. We should expect some volatility around that just as we're seeing today on the upside as a result of geopolitics, but as a base projection, we remain comfortable in the $90 to $100 range.

Hi William,
Building the latest git pull for 0.14.97 on a completely updated Arch 64
[dlphilp@bigblack phasex]$ aclocal
configure.ac:695: error: 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER': this macro is obsolete.
You should use the 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' macro instead.
/usr/share/aclocal-1.13/obsolete-err.m4:12: AM_CONFIG_HEADER is expanded
configure.ac:695: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 1
I followed the advice, updated the macro declaration, and aclocal ran to
its end, after which the rest of the autotools ran without complaint.
I used the following build configuration:
./configure --enable-cpu-power --enable-arch=native --prefix=/usr/local
No reported errors during the build config, Phasex compiled without
CPU is an AMD64 3200+, single-core, with 4G RAM, GCC 4.7.2.
From uname :
Linux 3.7.1-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux
Alas, when I start Phasex it segfaults immediately:
[dlphilp@bigblack ~]$ phasex
Not sending deprecated LASH_Client_Name event
LASH client initialized. (LASH_Client_Name='phasex').
Main: LASH client started.

(phasex:1239): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Bummer. Also, the splash indicates 0.14.96 but the git pull specified
0.14.97. There is no previous version of Phasex on my system.
Suggestions are welcome. :)

Just got the call that our meeting was cancelled for this afternoon. Severe weather warning for our area. What a loving family that we belong to . Several of our friends our elderly and what a mess the roads would be when it would be time to leave. Already have an inch in an hour.
This is what I call Pretty Snow. Huge flakes flying in the air, tumbling to earth.
If you are to experience snow for the first time this is what to be out in.
This is a picture of DH hat, I was hoping you could see the flakes.
I just got a call that car accidents are happening all ove our little town. Brother has a police scanner and is listenening to the problems. I just heard another siren go off. Thankful we are inside. This is Queenie my cat. Warm and comfy.
Yesterday A few deer were trying to cross the road. We pulled off and I got this shot of one hiding. Can you see him?
I got his backside and white tail as he hurried away in the woods.
Hope you all have a great day.
Today's temp will only get to 41'. Calling for snow around the Great Lake areas. We are near Lake Erie but It is just spitting rain. I am not looking forward to winter. I am glad alot of our territory is driving.
I wanted to share the sunset we saw driving to Monroe Walmart last week.
Have you all seen the movie Independence Day? The huge alien ship over the cities???
Well Tuesday. October 7 evening this is what the sky looked like at my place. Flat Rock, Michigan.
The skies were beautiful. Did you see it?
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE garage sales. Did I say LOVE?
I just had to share with you my finds. I have repainted the spare room and have made it my office/cat litter box/ laundry hamper room.
I bought these two weeks apart. Each one was $ 20.00 Love them. How about you ?
I have this one beside my chair where I study.
When ever I can get my DH to pose for pictures I am so excited, because it is a rarity. Once a year a photographer comes into our town and sets up appointments to take a proffesional photo in your home. GREAT ! He does not have to leave the house to smile.
So I set the appointment up for tonight. All week I have been planning on what to wear. Sunday afternoon before the WT meeting he yells at me and says " HONEY,
I have a Problem and I need you to fix it !!
Well , I yell back and say I don't have time, you will have to come up here and tell me. He is smiling as he walks into the room... You see he was cutting his hair and well I guess pictures DO say alot.....
He forgot to put the clip on to cut the hair NOT shave the head. OOOOOHHHHH.
I was cracking up.
AND then I remembered our picture day. UGH with him BALD!
So I told him we would have to put coats on and for him to wear a hat.
Well when the photographer got here I asked if he would take a picture on my camera so I could show you the before and after photos. He does not look to bad if I say so Myself.
See my page for the after photo.

Hi Joanne –
A little over two years ago, I posted a question on your online psychic chat at boston.com. I asked you if my husband and I were going to be able to have a baby in the near future. You told me that we would be welcoming a baby girl in late 2012 and you were correct. We now have an amazing 16 month old girl.

Hi Joanne,
Thank you for another spectacular evening. I have been at your events three times and have been blessed in receiving three readings. The accuracy of your messages have been unbelievable. Just wanted to thank you again for sharing your gift and blessings.

Dear Joanne;
Over a year ago, I had a mediumistic reading with you. It was truly astonishing. You mentioned names of two of my grandparents, and their origin. You described the place I was living in, my hobbies and career. You mentioned certain details that were phenomenal confirmation both of your excellence and of the spiritual world.

I had my long awaited reading with Joanne on Sunday March 9th. Joanne was so kind and gentle. She amazed me from the first thing she told me , as I had asked my mother to please mention this for my validation. Joanne started with my moms ring and the fact that I had JUST put it on for my reading and the rest of my time with her just got better and better. She knew my family by name, I could NOT believe she called my mother by her first name right out of the gate, and she just continued to tell me the names of my family that were with my mom and there was no hesitation. I was so amazed with this wonderful lady and all three things that I needed to know for me to feel she was truly gifted, as I had read about her. She brought all three things up in my reading. I was a skeptic, but not any longer!
Joanne is truly a amazing medium with such a special gift from the Lord. I could not thank her enough, for my time with her, has given mesuch a peace in my heart. I have grieved over my mother for 5 years and I now know that she iso.k. and she happy, and that is all I needed to know. Joanne did this for me over the phone, so if anyone is curious if she can truly connect via phone, I am here to tell you , YES she can and YES she did. I am forever grateful to this beautiful lady!!
God Bless,

From www.famouspsychicmediums.com: September 23, 2013
Joanne is an original, entertaining and occasionally an "offbeat" psychic who we've really enjoyed watching, and also has one of the more impressive lists of credentials and certifications from both the scientific and the spiritual communities alike.
From www.famouspsychicmediums.com: August 12, 2013
I've had the pleasure of watching Joanne do live readings for a small audience, and am always impressed by her soft touch and entertaining approach to the whole idea of spirituality, karma and connection…and brings something very special to the table – an intangible but immediately likable quality that is hard to define – and unfortunately, difficult to discern in many other teachers, mediums, mentors and "spiritual gurus" that permeate this space.
Email: September 25, 2012
I was so touched and so blessed to have messages delivered by Joanne from my grandmother and godmother. My grandmother has been gone for 15 years and considering she was very shy in this life, I had accepted the fact that she would probably never come through and speak to me.
When Joanne turned, looked directly at me and pointed at me and said "who is Florence?" – I almost fell off my seat! The way that Joanne conveyed her messages came through with my grandmother's personality. Little things about my grandmother's mannerisms and the way she said things could only be relayed by someone (Joanne) who was truly speaking to her. It was intimate and amazing and the icing on the cake was when Joanne asked about the locket! My daughter, who was sitting next to me, had been grasping it in her hand since we left home that evening. Unknown to me, my daughter was asking her nana to please come through and was rubbing the picture of my grandmother in the locket. Needless to say, all of us (including Joanne) got the chills!
Joanne is incredibly down to earth, genuine and warm. I am simply amazed and feel so fortunate to have had a reading by her!

Hello, my name is Megan and I attended the Swampscott Church of Spiritualism for the first time this morning. I have experienced mediumship before, and was told by my Papa (through a medium): "It doesn't matter who or when you go see a medium, I will come through EVERY time". That was about six months ago, so I knew that if I went to see you and hear your presentation this morning, my Papa would come through. He was the first spirit that you made a connection with. I just wanted to thank you for the gift that you shared with me and the entire congregation this morning. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. I hope to see you again!

Hi Joanne
Thank you.
If you want contact with those you love in spirit, you really need Joanne. I was a huge skeptic but due to my personal experiences including OBEs I went on a quest to find the best medium that can confirm things for me. I have to be really honest here and remind people, those with genuine mediumship are quite rare, especially accurate ones. What a marvelous gift. Joanne is an amazing medium let me really say a true medium. I honestly couldn't recommend her highly enough.
During my reading I felt my beautiful husband, she has truly blown me away. She did not only name him but also a perfect description of him as well as mentioning about his passing & about our furry babies & so much more.
After the reading something incredible occurred it is not the first time, I kept getting flashes of thoughts & I knew my husband was still there so I started writing things down it was like a 2 way chat but not actually speaking & yep it was him.
I had other readings previously & Joanne completely knocked me off my feet. To me, having a reading with Joanne was absolutely priceless. It's an absolute honour.
Love is the greatest energy. It may not be for everyone this kind of contact but as we say & I totally agree that if we are more than our physical bodies than why cant we maintain that loving relationship that we shared in a physical form.
Also do your research find things out for yourself too, it's experience that will really change how you view life. Joanne can & will confirm that our loved ones are around us & they are just a thought away. Thank you Joanne you are truly brilliant.

I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful messages and validation you brought forth of my beloved Uncle who passed away suddenly two years ago. I attended one of Joanne's events in Franklin, MA and though I had a few doubts, they were completely erased when the first spirit to come through during the event was my Uncle.
Joanne gave such accurate descriptions of him and his personality, down to the thick black rimmed glasses he wore. I had asked in prayer numerous times for my Uncle to show me somehow that he was okay, and Joanne allowed me to see that he is no longer suffering from his emphysema that he obtained after working at Ground Zero as a fireman. I think Joanne may have spoken about my Uncle for a good 15-20 minutes, going on and on about my Uncle himself as well as things currently going on in my life that he knew about, even though he was no longer living.
I am so grateful my Uncle pushed his way through and that Joanne was able to bring me evidence that he is okay and still with me. The thing that caught me the most was of how she asked me, "Do you talk to your Uncle? Out loud?" When I told her I did, and all the time, she said, "Well, he hears you. Don't worry." Joanne, you have such a gift.
Thank you so much,
Jennifer S.

Messenger for Mac sign-in problems
Looks like Microsoft's recent upgrading of Messenger for Mac to version 6 didn't go down as smoothly as they would have liked. Microsoft's own Messenger newsgroup is just one of the places buzzing with people having problems logging in.
I found this out while struggling through this jungle of versions myself. Going from 5.1.1 to 6.0.0 locked me out of the service, with only a typically vague error message to guide me. To make matters worse, I was able to log in to the fancy new Windows Live Messenger on PC. Trashing my preferences and going back to previous versions did nothing, and Google wasn't much more helpful. That was around the time I stumbled on to the newsgroup.
In the end, my solution was simple enough - I changed my admittedly weak Passport password to something a little more robust and, voila, I was in.
Are any of you having similar problems? Let me know in the comments if so and what workarounds you've found.

Frankie Animal is as luscious as a freshly pressed mojito on a Friday night, filling any room with a sense of "anything could happen...". The band fills all listeners with a refreshing sensation and mesmerizes the audience with their powerful, yet intimate and delicate presence.
The band's sound can be compared to the likes of Mutemath, Arctic Monkeys and Local Natives while the charismatic lead singers' Marie M. Vaigla voice has been compared to Norah Jones.
Frankie Animal is a four-piece Estonian indie rock band formed in the spring of 2012. Despite being a young band they have already earned the recognition of many Estonia's leading music critics. The band first sprung up in Estonia's best-known youth band competition "Noortebänd 2012" winning 8 prizes and being active ever since. Frankie Animal released their debut-EP "Obsession" in April 2014 topping digital music streaming and retailing sites. An important milestone is the band's performance at the biggest music festival in the Baltics - the Positivus Festival in the summer of 2014.

depression or just bad relationship
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 09-12-2012 - 10:46am
I'm been feeling depressed for a while now... i've broken up with this guy but a couple months later i'm so depressed, I get back together with him. I'm stressed out with life in general. So confused about whether my life has purpose.
So, needing an opinion.... some nights i feel alone and just want to be alone. But when i've told my boyfriend, he acts like i'm being mean to him. He says, can i come over. And i'll say, no i'm tired. Then he starts making lame excuses like but i left my charger at your house or i have all my clean clothes at your house. ... he's exaggerating, i feel. So i'll get a little more angry and say, no i want to be alone. Then he'll say i'm starting an argument. Then i'll say, well, i'm not in the mood to have you come over. I'm tired and i want to be alone.
Anyway, from my perspective, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be alone. He acts like i'm punishing him. Well, he came over the night before and was grumpy.... cursed at my computer because it was working slow. He was distant and did'nt talk much to me. So, if i have a night where i want to be alone... that is not passive aggressive. Is it?
I've been rambling. I don't even know if i just want validation... but i'm either depressed or just dealing with pms.
Thanks for listening.

I think your BF is being disrespectful of your wishes.
Even as a married couple, my DH and I give each other space when it is needed.
While you maybe a couple, you are also still an individual and that means you need to nurture yourself as much as you nurture your relationship.
I would sit your BF down at a time that you are both in a good mood and explain to him that you do need down time and you need him to respect that. If he is unable to do that for you, then I would possibly reconsider the relationship.
|Wed, 09-12-2012 - 1:49pm
Is this the old DJ BF or someone new? I do think you have a right to be alone if you want to and that if he's not understanding of this it shows a lot of neediness and immaturity--maybe you should give a 2nd thought to this relationship. You're not starting an argument by saying you want to be alone--he's starting the argument by not accepting that and trying to convince you to change your mind.
|Wed, 09-12-2012 - 3:49pm
I won't deny that I can be b* some days. And when the phone dropped the call yesterday, i didn't feel the need to call back. And when he called back (again and again), i just didn't answer the phone. I was tired of arguing. My point was made etc. Is that bad behaviour on my part? Then he sent me a nasty text about how he's getting tired of my behaviour... How we are suppose to be a team etc. Gee, he really lacks respect of personal space....

I remember you well from the Second Marriage board..
There was talk of engagement, marriage, church, being a father figure to your chilren, raising them together,...what happened to all of that?
What are your main issues, if you don't mind me asking?

I remember you well from the Second Marriage board..
There was talk of engagement, marriage, church, being a father figure to your chilren, raising them together,...what happened to all of that?
What are your main issues, if you don't mind me asking?
I have been back and forth with this guy for a couple years now.... He talks like he's positive we are meant to be... but from my point of view, I haven't made that decision yet. I'm still waiting for him to prove himself. I'm still waiting to see if my worst fears come true or not.
And, yes, lonelyness was definitely a factor in getting back together. It's hard to explain. I thought i'd be stronger than that... I used to be just fine being alone. But this last time, I was miserable and just couldn't shake the feeling. So, then i thought, ok, i'll give this another shot. Maybe i'm suffering from depression?
Main issue is trust. I talked about couples counseling in the past but we never went. He started coming to church with me but i found out he was just going thru the motions. I was completely upset and that's part of the reason we broke up back in Feb.
He gave me my space (after i pitched a fit). His point of view is that when he's in a bad mood he still wants to be around me. And i said, well I get into my moods and I just want to be alone for a while.
Thanks for the feedback. I am reconsidering all the factors.

Lower Your Blood Pressure by Trying These Simple Science-Backed Tricks
According to the July/August issue of Eating Well, 2 out of every 3 Americans over the age of 60 are clinically hypertensive. The cut-off value for a diagnosis of high blood pressure is when your blood pressure reading is greater than 140/90. Does this mean that you too are statistically likely to have high blood pressure and be at an increased risk of heart disease or stroke?

Xylem Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2012 Results, Announces 15 Percent Dividend Increase
Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL), a leading global water technology company dedicated to solving the world's most challenging water issues, today reported fourth quarter 2012 net income of $73 million, or $0.39 per share, up 39 percent from the fourth quarter 2011. Excluding the impact of one-time separation costs and other adjustments associated with Xylem's 2011 spinoff from ITT Corporation as well as restructuring and realignment costs, adjusted net income was $88 million or $0.47 per share, up 8 cents or 21 percent on a normalized basis from 2011. Fourth quarter revenue was $969 million, down 3 percent, reflective of weakness in industrial and public utility markets. Fourth quarter adjusted operating margins improved 140 basis points driven by efficiency and cost control measures.
1 The 2011 normalized earnings per share reflect adjustments (including one-time separation costs, interest expense, stand-alone costs, and special tax items) to our GAAP results to better illustrate year-over-year performance. The normalized earnings are intended to give a representation of our performance had Xylem been a stand-alone company in 2011.
"Our fourth quarter results show the impact of strategic steps we've taken to improve our financial performance, streamlining operations and taking aggressive cost control measures in the face of challenging market conditions," said Gretchen McClain, president and chief executive officer of Xylem Inc.

janewho knows why I gravitated to this goal?
Today, noticing it, I imagine it's because I knew that I'd need to be pried out of a pathological sadness over lost time, and refocused on the present and on the time available – which I do need to be, today.
I've finally gotten to work on "making this place a home." I'll share the pictures with you as soon as I can get them into a cool flip-book video. That's my aim, anyway :)
But… boy. I don't know if it's the stress of moving, or stumbling on old photos and journals, or just being tired, or being kind of lonely in this process, but I find myself between boxes having to stop and lean on counters to cry about the past a whole lot. Eh. I suppose it could be PMS. Or the rain and the beginning of fall.
Whatever. I just hate this thing where I obsess about lost time and lost opportunities and lost people and loss.
I've got a good 40 years left. Every ounce of energy spent on looking backward is energy I can't use on living my life right now. 3 years ago

I'm glad the cops are doing their jobs. people are just taunting them then when a cop pushes someone back, they try to beat the **** out of the cops. and the cops are being hated, i mean if you don't like the people who try to keep you or others safe, then go to another country with laws you do like.

American flags have been disappearing from an Ohio neighborhood, but residents didn't want the thieves arrested. That's because the culprits are squirrels. Residents on Taylor Street said their tiny flags began disappearing first. Soon, however, the full size versions came up missing.
"I noticed on the one neighbor's house that his flag was starting to wear," resident Samantha Richards said. "You get up closer and you could see it was being shredded. Get up the next day, it was totally gone." The mysterious disappearances prompted neighbors to start doing a little detective work. "Finally, (I) started watching the one squirrel go to her nest. You look up - you found the flag," Richards said.
"I couldn't believe my eyes," resident Arnold Barzak recalled. "I thought I was seeing things. But then I looked again and again and said, 'It's for real.'"
Cameras caught pictures of one of the suspected flag thieves. The furry culprit reportedly pleaded the fifth.

Remember Stillman's QWL for September !!!!
:welcome: to a new month of Stillman's QWL .... Keep track of your WOE menu :yummy:, make friends:hugs: and find support:help: to keep yourself motivated .... :jumpjoy::jumpjoy:
I did so awesome today .... and followed QWL strict plan .... I am 4 lbs away from where I left off before I fell off the wagon .... I am so pleased with Stillman's and myself for owning up to my out of control binges and starting over before those 10lbs multiplied .... :up:
thanks for creating the link to septembers chat! i forgot we went right into a new month this weekend.:clap::up::hugs:
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME, ANGELSTILL!!!!!! I am so excited you are doing the real work. I had two great days as well. Felt good waking up this morning. NO splenda's for me in the coffee. Keeping carbs away. Eating my protein!
Good morning friends! It feels good to be back in a routine. My eating was perfect yesterday and that feels great. My tummy is very bloated though. I have some digestive issues that having off plan days, especially when gluten was involved, did not help. But I hope to have that calmed down in another day or two. I'm going to start exercising on Tuesday. No, really! My son has a girlfriend and it seems quite serious. So, I'm thinking that there may be a wedding and I want to feel and look good. Of course, there may not be a wedding, but I still want to feel and look good!
The scale has been so kind to me what a difference with Stillman's QWL it does a body good .... Today's protein will be eggs, tuna and lean ground beef ... I use jumbo eggs .... low sodium Bumble Bee tuna and Laura's extra lean ground beef .... I do not use splenda , I use Stevia in the raw.... Water is the first in the morning to hydrate my cells and with a high protein diet I have been taking all my vitamins and supplements including biotin which I love and maca too ! Once I fall off the wagon I would just forget following a healthy regimen including vitamins etc... and I would eat a dark fudge brownie or two and a few chocolate chip cookies with my coffee and then gee I would wonder why am I so tired after and I felt cravings so strong to eat more and much more .... I definitely enjoy it the do not get me wrong it is just after a while I feel so bloated and sick and it spirals me into fat and lazy mode .... I am not going to sweat it if it ever happens again I do know better now to cut it out fast ! I know where I will always find refuge .... :heart:
Thank you Angelstill for starting the new thread! I've been lurking around on this forum for months and finally decided to make myself accountable and check-in daily. So I've been doing stills for 6 days so far and lost 8.6lbs. I felt so great seeing the weight fall off, but this morning i was up .4lbs and felt depressed and just want to cheat but I know I shouldn't bcuz it'll it'll set me back a few days. It's to be expected, up & down days, so that's why this forum is so great, it'll keep me in check!
:welcome: WatchMe !!!!!!!!!!!
Mom is on the big bird back to FL so returning to normal here........and missing her already......ahhhhh, life, we all have one.......back to the stepchildren drama.......upcoming surgery for my stepdad...........:eek:
and here on the ranch, doing laundry and putting little bits of Mom away, waiting for her return........gardening clogs, gloves...
and continuing her LC learning when she's here, we knocked another 5 pounds off her in 12 days........two to four hours of yard work a day and Still's with veggies melts it right off...
hope everyone is doing great (I can see you all are :D) and missing our MIA's........GT, MMS, please check in and tell me things are okay......Al, IM2, Yam, I know you're out there somewhere :hugs:
off to take Ebay photos........the shoes are taking over, time to thin the herd.......TTYL !!
It seems like you are doing great .... and btw if it is rainy and humid today where you live that may be a culprit for a lil bit of gain on the scale .... There was a past post about that some where on here during I believe July Stillman's celebrate independence .... Post your menu daily and check out Stillman friendly recipes to try.... A few of my favourites are the sweet and sour chicken yum ! and cola chicken :yummy: As of today I am super strict to get my weight back on track before the slip and guess what it works !!!! I know it is hard but the rewards will make you feel better in the morning on the scale ....:) Good luck !!!!:hugs:
Today menu
water , vitamins and supplements .... breakfast ( 2) scrambled eggs cooked with butter flavour pam espresso .... Lunch low sodium Bumble Bee tuna and H.B egg .... water and espresso ....
i feel great tonight. not hungry, so this was day three of keeping it clean. thanks for going really strick with me angelstill! i'm so excited for everyone here.:shake:
seems like everyone is kicking in and working at it.
Lbs. the Movie
This is on netflix and it is inspiring to see how some of us have the willpower to kick our food addictions to the curb .....
when you go to the site click on the trailer ....:)
Good morning! Happy Labor Day! Yesterday I worked in my dd's garage a bit. I have things in there I need to sort through, mostly clothes. I have a lot of size 18's that I bought when I got down to 207. They were a bit snug then but I had lost 60 pounds and was exercising and in the zone. And they were on a fantastic sale! Anyway, life took a weird turn and in all the traveling and relocating, I lost the ability to diet and exercise. I gained the weight back. I've lost 30, and because of the exercise I'm smaller than I was at this weight the first time I reached it. I hope to be able to wear these clothes by the first of the year. The vacation bloat is gone this morning! Tomorrow is weigh in!
Good morning! Happy Labor Day!
Bravo to those on plan and in their zone!
Yay on new (old) clothes for the inspiration, Mim ! Go you !!
I have the original book from dr. atkins and i read about induction yesterday (for the miillionth time). i think i have finally-finally admitted to myself that high fats will not make me thin. even if i only eat meat and lots of fat--it just won't work for me.
because of the sensational writing and many people that talk about how well it works for them, i kept thinking that i was doing something wrong, that maybe that one splenda or that one diet coke or i'm drinking seltzer water instead of plain water was messing it up, because i know you have to be very careful, but i have to finally admit that it doesn't work for me, as much as i want it to-it does not.
so....even though that is hard to admit, i am very very very thankful that i did discover dr. stillman through this process, because that DOES work for me. it's just a little bit of reprograming because i had really bought into the atkins hype. I made so many friends at atkins and There was a time that i was able to make atkins work for me, but now going back and looking at food logs, the only time i did really loose and maintain on atkins was when I combined it with very low calories. i ate fat and protein, but the calories stayed extremely low-and I also cut out veggies. With stillmans i also have to stay very low with calories--but he encourages this and doesn't encourage extravegant eating, so i'm not knocking my head against the wall looking for what i'm doing wrong.
That said, i woke up this morning very lean. I did excellent for breakfast and then I noticed that there was jar of almond butter in the fridge. That food is trouble for me (learned to eat this from atkins), but I bought a jar at costco a couple weeks ago (i usually do not keep it around, because i eat it like ice cream). Because I was feeling so awesome and in control with the "no hunger" feeling after 3 strong days on stillmans, I decided to have a taste. I made a mistake, i should not have tried it. So that one taste turned into 3 Tablespoons, not the end of the world--but not a good choice. But the best thing that I did was walk right out to the garbage bin and dump the whole jar. I'm the only one in the house that eats it, so there is no reason for me to ever buy that again.!! Yea, I'm so happy. AFter that i took the dogs for a 1.5 hour walk and I feel great. I do not feel sick, and will just keep making better and better choices everytime I eat.:)
so i have the original stillman's book called: The doctors quick weight loss diet. It is so good and i'm surprised to see that on the main diet he does not limit foods, but he is just very particular that you eat only what is on the list. he also allows SF sweetners, caffeine and says most people don't eat that much because they get full. they think they are eating a lot more than they actually are. He said that in a few cases a couple people ate a whole lot of protein the first two days, but then they naturally self regulated and did not really want to eat all that much after that.
Also: so interesting in the book are tons and tons of other alternatives for those that prefer to eat other things. They are all strict and all lower calorie. He even has the HF HP diet for some that can loose that way, but he says it's not the fastest way to weight loss, which is the low fat way. Just to name a few there is the "rice diet", the "raw diet", the nibbler diet, the "one meal a day diet", the vegetable diet and the list never ends. It's so interesting. I'll have a lot more tips to post from this book as I'm reading.
Good morning! I am officially not on vacation anymore. And today is my weigh in and guess what? I didn't gain while on vacation! Go me! Actually, I think I may have lost a pound. My last recorded weigh in was Aug. 8th and I was 3 pounds lighter then. That is when I joined the 30 pound loss club. Then I started to struggle and gained and lost but never lost back to the Aug. 8th weight. I am now only 3 pounds from that weight and I'm pretty sure that I'm a pound less than I was when I went on vacation two weeks ago. I hadn't realized how much in denial I had been about the lose/gain cycle until I opened my notebook this morning to enter my weight and saw that I hadn't done that since way before vacation! I am solid again - I'm not going to do the gain/lose. And on that note I've got to get ready and get to the office! I like vacation better!
Yay Mim ! :clap:
have a great day, y'all..........DH got called in to work so it's Ninja Home Improvement Hero today..........I painted the ceiling in the bedroom..........five bucks sez he doesn't notice until Friday !!!!!!!!!!! :D
ok, so today was awesome. i tried turkey! Wow, it fills you up. I thought i was eating much more than I did. I have ended my day with 843 calories. 149 grams of protein with jut 3.4 grams of fat and 10 carbs. I feel very full and satisfied, but not stuffed or bloated, just like I've have plenty and do not need anything else. This is great.
WTG Shreeeeeeeeeem !!!!!!!! :clap:
hmmmmmmmm..............what to do with boneless chik breasts today.........:dunno:
Ug - getting back in the swing of things is hard. Work wise that is. I'm solidly on plan! I've lost my first half pound of my weigh week. It always feels good to have a loss show up on Wednesday.
CC: I've been enjoying stewing my chicken breasts in broth and seasonings. Yummy! That is what I had last night!
thanks Mim........sounds good. I can't decide if it's a hot food or cold food day. It's overcast and pleasant so far......
and lost shall we say two pounds over the Mom fest.........it looked like five but on the side of caution I'll say two. :clap:
awesome, Mim and CC! If you either of you do not have the stillmans quick weight loss book, i recommend it to everyone. i'm reading through for "real" for the first time and it is so so helpful!!! Quite a bit different understanding aside from just eating straight from the list. His philosophy is tremendous. for him, it's really all about low calories and high protein. That combination curbs hunger and the low calories consistly followed will cause weight loss. All the protein also increases the number of calories we burn. However, he adds so many other ways of eating (common denominator is low calories) to accomodate anyones tastes. He even has a high fat high protein low calorie diet for those who prefer that. But always stresses low calories through out the whole book.
His quick weight loss, high protein diet is the star weight loss diet though and he says most will loose quickest with this strategy, however, all the others are geared for quick losses as well.
my eating is very good again today. turkey this morning. the turkey really does work well. mine is 99% fat free. 694 calories so far today, with 91% of that protein.
Great news on your Mom losing 5 pounds. You are a great instructor.
I'm in maintain mode right now. We have several trips coming up including one to Hawaii in less than 2 weeks. I never totally unpack my suitcase.
Good to see the Stillman thread so active and so much success going on here! :hugs:
My brother and I did it together and I lost 55 pounds in 3 months. It was life changing for me and I stayed slim and trim most of my life by going back to Stills every time I put on 3-5 pounds.
Good stuff. I didn't start gaining serious weight until menopause hit and simultaneously I seriously injured my back. Nothing I tried, including Stills, kept the weight away even though I fought it tooth and nail.
Now I'm over all that and feeling more like myself again.
:hiya: Shout out to all you other Stillmanites! Have a great OP day!:D
Yam-Yam! How wonderful to see you! I love the pictures and love the hair! Pop in more often - we miss you!
drive-by visit here, too!
Back from Disney World quickie-vacation...it was to celebrate my birthday, and we ate when, what & where we wanted. Had some truly delicious meals. Got home Monday evening, weighed myself right away yesterday morning and had popped up 10 lbs in that 3 nights/3 days. As hubby pointed out, there's no way I ate 35,000 extra calories, so it will go back down. And it is...lost 3 lbs from Tuesday AM to Wednesday AM. But Talk about WATER WEIGHT, jeez, I have such a messed up metabolism!
It's just so aggravating to pop up THAT much:annoyed: So I suppose it'll take me a week to get back down to pre-Disney weight.:annoyed:
Have to tell the truth: :yummy:Did enjoy it, though.:yummy:
Back to Stillman's yesterday, of course. Lots of low fat meaty foods now:up:

Junior Member
this is ranked game.. u either win or lose, in elo hell u have **** team mate so does your opponent, live with it.. if you are truely good you will get out of elo hell in matters of days.
i noticed in elo hell it was those that complained the most that caused the lost, not saying it is u.
ps.. i was in elo hell just yesterday and wont 14 games in a row 13 times using riven.. i was the jungle, even if team sucks we still win some how. is all about team work
Senior Member
Now that I've down a solid month of tribunal, I don't believe in ELO Hell anymore. I think a lot of people believe they are pro material, when they are really average at best. Getting stuck on bad teams might dip you in ELO, but your eventual win streaks will take you back up to a more deserving plateau. Most likely though, you are where you deserve to be.
I'm down for any change. I don't care what at this point. Frankly, I'm tired of winning my lane, helping mid when I can, warding as an AD carry, fighting to get last hits with my support who took ignite/flash, who also went Dorans Ring, calling out drag and baron timers just to have 2 of the 3 people in my game feed so hard and cs so poorly that we lose every teamfight after 20 minutes.
And these same people are the ones with sub-200 games played. I am 50% win ratio atm in ranked and although I don't think I'm way better than my Elo, I know for a fact I would never go into a game as unprepared as some of these guys.
Some of the things I've seen which I'm sure we all have from time to time...
A guy that demands no matter what we need of him, as last pick on our team, to be MF or Teemo so he can and I quote "side push all game".
A Fizz that demands to go top against Udyr and go 0-4 with 25 cs at 15 minutes.
A Lux Support (his words not mine) that doesnt take cv or heal, doesn't buy wards, takes cs and pushes, and ignites sure kills from both myself and the jungle.
A Tryn jungle whose first gank was post-20 minutes... God that one hurt. Didn;t need a gank for my lane or anything but to not gank for 20 minutes? Gee Zus.
A Blitz support with no wards bought all game, although he let me cs properly, that and I kid you not, did not land a single grip all game. Not one. Not even on accident.
A Kennen mid who won his lane and said it was GG and went afk after top was ganked once. Not a big deal? Wait for it. He was 3-0, top was 1-1, and myself on vayne was 7-1. He just left. Said we blew ass and left. No one said a single negative thing to him. No missed MiA's. Just got pissed and bolted.
And just to make sure you understand this Kennen's level of fail...
He sent me a picture after the game of his abs with "you mad?" on it. And a picture of his house. I can't make that up. He wanted me to know he was better than anyone to ever play lol. In his defense, he did have a 6-pac. I'm not gay nor am I homophobic but I can appreciate the effort that trolling took him.
This is what solo que has taught me:
`1. A lot of women drink when pregnant.
2. Level 30 should take 1000 games played to reach. Win lose or draw.
3. A good attitude and cs take you really far in this game. Just not far enough.
