Victor confronts Adam with his betrayal, Dylan asks Chelsea for a divorce, and Avery appeals to Nick for understanding.
Billy carries Victoria over the threshold into their house. She feels bad pretending to be newlyweds when Nick's wedding fell apart. Billy has a celebration planned, but first they vow to ignore phones and not talk about Newman. Billy will discuss her going back only after Adam is gone. They have a champagne toast and flirt until Chloe calls. Billy tells Victoria that she's bringing Delia over. Later, Delia arrives and spots the cake. Billy says they're celebrating how happy they are together. They play Wizard of Oz. Delia is the Wicked Witch, Victoria is Dorothy, and Billy is Toto. Later, Delia goes to bed and Victoria and Billy make out on the couch.
At the Club, Adam meets with a doctor about Connor. He says his eyesight was salvaged and he wants the same for his son. He hopes to have his son in his care very soon.
At the park, Nick asks Avery why she was late. She tells him about Dylan showing up, devastated. Nick says she chose to stay there with Dylan when she should have been there marrying him. Avery insists it wasn't like that. They bicker. She says she couldn't leave Dylan. Nick gets that - it's not who she is. Avery thanks him for understanding. Nick says she's still in love with Dylan. He makes his case. Avery cries. They each take blame for winding up in this situation. They agree it shouldn't be this hard and kiss goodbye.
At Adam's penthouse, Victor accuses Jack of being Adam's silent partner. Jack admits he's had a stake in Newman for months without him knowing, but insists Victor doesn't have a clue what's really going on. Victor says he knows everything and accuses Jack of perpetrating an act of sabotage on Newman in retaliation for him trying to keep him from Summer. Jack says his motivation was to help Adam impress him; get close to his father. Victor scoffs. Jack says he warned Adam it would blow up in his face - but all that matters to him is being his father's son. Victor declares it sentimental claptrap. Jack is disgusted that Victor will let his hatred for him ruin everything he and Adam have accomplished. Victor says Adam ruined it by partnering with him. "He knows I despise you!" Jack sneers that this is why Victor's screwed up his relationships with all his kids. Adam appears. Victor tells him the game is over. Adam tells Jack he'll handle it from here. Victor informs Adam he's betrayed him and he'll never forgive him. Adam talks about Victor's idea of being a father is expecting subservience. He wanted to work together. He argues that he got Newman back. They shout and argue. Victor screams that he betrayed him! Adam calls himself a fool for ever thinking he'd be the father he wanted. Victor says he disappointed him. Adam says he'll be a better father than him - he made himself that promise from the minute he found out he had a son. Victor asks what does he mean? Adam fills him in about Chelsea's child and the eye disorder. Victor says he's sorry. Adam barks for him to stop acting like he cares. Adam says his devotion to him and Newman cost him his wife and son. He realizes Victor is rethinking things now, but warns he won't let his son anywhere near him. Adam says they'll force him out of Newman. Victor wishes him luck.
Jack arrives home to find John waiting to discuss his plan with Adam not working out. He scoffs at Jack expecting Victor to believe he helped Adam out of the goodness of his heart. John thinks Jack is getting pleasure from hitting Victor where he lives. Jack insists vengeance wasn't his motivation. John warns that Victor will want retribution more than ever now. After, Jack paces and considers taking a drink.
Chelsea finds Dylan waiting for her at home. Chelsea makes a pitch for remaining a family. She wants him to protect Connor from Adam, who is going to take him away from them and change his name. Dylan hollers that of course Adam's fighting - he had every right to know she was having his child. Dylan says being with her and Connor gave him a second chance at life and now he's empty. Chelsea protests that they can make it right. He says that's impossible. "I'm leaving town." Chelsea begs to make it work, but Dylan wants a divorce. He asks for a moment alone with Connor to say goodbye. He talks to the baby about feeling bonded to him. As he tells Connor he hopes he has a good life, Dylan hears thunder outside and flashes to Sullivan dying. He whispers, "I'll protect you." The power goes out. Chelsea appears with a flashlight. Dylan and the baby are gone.

We are pirate reenactors, living historians who educate people about the Golden Age of Piracy by living a pirate lifestyle and representing that both at pirate gatherings in exotic locations around the world, as well as to the public in general.
We enlighten and educate the public and give them a historical representation of Golden Age Pirates. We do this at piratical events, festivals and fairs, book readings, community gatherings, and special events. In addition, we introduce them to the tools of the sweet trade: knives, swords, axes, flintlocks, and cannons. We show them the authentic attire of the time and answer their questions about pirates and history.
We create through entertainment, reenactment and with our several online pirate related businesses. I handcraft authentic pirate hats from the 1700's, and have made over four-thousand pirate hats, each one an original. Having been dubbed the "Ralph Lauren of pirate hats."
We live a pirate's life, not because we are real pirates, but because we are Pirate reenactors, historians and entertainers who Give, Enlighten, and Create – living a Pirate lifestyle.
Winds have set us on a course of new adventure as we join the crew of Evermore in creating a 40 acre theatrical park set in old Victorian London. The Park is located in Pleasent Grove, UT and will open it's doors winter 2014. Evermore Park's event schedule consists of Ripper's Cove, a Fall and Halloween season event; Christmas Cove for the Holiday and Winter season; and a series of week long events, weekend celebrations, festivals and weekly activities all Summer long. We have been blessed with this great creative opportunity and are very excited for it's succuss.

Ian Somerhalder Hairstyle Evolution Over the Years!
Like any star in Hollywood, Ian Somerhalder has gone through a lot of different looks. From short hair to (too) long hair, bad haircuts to unbelievably good ones, we can always count on one thing to remain: Ian's always absolutely gorgeous.
Of course, we can't help but think he looks the most gorgeous with his hair dark to go with his smoldering eyes, and slightly disheveled, like he just rolled out of bed. A little bit of scruff on the face to amp up that bad boy look doesn't hurt either, although we have to beg him to keep the mustache in check!
How do you like your Ian Somerhalder? Clean cut and fresh-faced, or looking just a little rough around the edges?
Consider this gallery a gift!

Home » Hand Select Angus Beef
DeBragga hand selects and then ages this classic beef steak, cut from the same muscle as Prime Rib, so it's always juicy, tender and full of flavor. The Ribeye's exquisite marbling is what provides that rich, flavorful beef experience, and this cut of beef goes perfectly with a big red wine. The marbling also allows this steak to roast to its tasty best; highly marbled cuts of beef take very well to dry heat cooking techniques. At DeBragga.com, we consider this cut one of the tastiest steaks, perhaps best of all. One taste, and you'll agree.

LOUISVILLE, KY.-Courtney Schultz of the New Mexico State University cross country team wrapped up her collegiate cross country career at the NCAA Championships in Louisville, Ky., on Saturday, Nov. 17, by placing 59th overall.
Schultz, a senior from Cloudcroft, N.M., placed 59th with a time of 20:28.2 in the women's 6K. Schultz ran an average pace of 5:30 per mile throughout the course.
Schultz' finish in 2012 was a significant improvement both in time and overall placing from last year's competition. In 2011, Schultz finished 88th overall with a time of 20:55.1.
Schultz was the only cross country athlete from the Western Athletic Conference to qualify for the NCAA Championships.
Schultz is coming off one of the best seasons of any cross country runner in NM State history, and will finish her career at NM State as one of the most decorated athletes ever to run in the cross country program.
Schultz was named Western Athletic Conference Athlete of the Week on three different occasions during the 2012 season. Her first time winning the award came the week of Aug. 27-Sept. 2, when she placed first overall at the Lobo Invitational in Albuquerque, N.M., to open up the cross country season. Schultz later won the award for the week of Sept. 24-30, when she placed second overall at the Rim Rock Collegiate Invitational in Lawrence, Kan., and finished the particular course design as second all-time for the event. Schultz won the award for a third time for the week of Oct. 8-14, when she placed first overall at the Bronco Invitational in Sunnyvale, Calif.
At the WAC Championships in Ruston, La., Schultz finished second overall and earning a spot on the first team all-WAC with a time of 17:25.81. Schultz has finished first for NM State in every event she has competed in this season.
Schultz has earned many awards and will likely find a spot in the NM State record books as one of the most decorated runners during the history of the school's cross country program. Schultz has been named to the first team all-WAC all four years of her career at NM State. Schultz was named WAC Freshman of the Year in 2009. Schultz was also named WAC Athlete of the Year for three straight years, spanning 2009-11.

Colonial cool (It takes a Village)Written by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | firstname.lastname@example.com
You and I are unlikely to agree on the definition of what makes something "cool," but I lean on the definition offered by music critic Dave Marsh: "Cool is defined by that which expends the least amount of energy defining itself." In other words, the harder you try to be cool, the less likely you are to achieve your goal.
During my time in other cities, I searched for and usually found a cool part of town, somewhere to park the car and spend a few hours hanging out and indulging my interests. In Pittsburgh, that place was Squirrel Hill, with its one-of-a-kind restaurants, bookstores, small movie theater and quirky retailers. During my brief West Coast stint, I fell in love with Sausalito, the town across the bay from San Francisco with its breathtaking views and eateries. In Washington, D.C., I would spend hours in Georgetown, which provided block after block of windows and opportunities for discovery. In south Florida, I would spend Saturdays in Las Olas, a long retail and entertainment strip that for me was like a greatest hits of the previous cities I explored.
These places provide a destination for solo exploration or group fun. They can be modest, and may not qualify as hip, but to me, they were endlessly cool. There is no single element that makes them cool; it is the sum of the individual parts that creates an atmosphere and flavor of interest.
In Toledo, the city that forged my baseline for such things, I used to enjoy trips to Westgate. Just steps from each other, Boogie Records and Thackeray's Books provided the anchor for an afternoon of browsing and catching up with friends in the pre-Facebook era.
But we know what happened to that lineup.
Recently, I discovered another cool place to park the car and spend some time. I feel compelled to defend my praise of Colonial Village Plaza (4400 Heatherdowns Blvd. at Key Street) as a middle-age father-of-two's choice. It's not as restaurant and event driven as the Blarney-anchored area around Fifth Third Field or as gallery heavy as the Warehouse District or as music driven as Adams Street (or the Frankie's domain on the East Side) and it is certainly not as hip as whatever place the kids know about that is so far beyond my awareness it might as well be on Mars. But the Colonial Village Plaza has filled itself with some of the types of places I dig. ("Dig," kids, means "appreciate and like.")
The main attraction at Colonial Village Plaza is Monarch Cards & Comics. I would browse the racks at Monarch back when it was on Airport Highway. Owner Steve Shufritz moved the store to Colonial Village Plaza in 1995.
Monarch offers a well-lit and organized array of comics, graphic novels, hardcover collections, back issues and collector odds and ends, plus fountain of knowledge Ed Katschke behind the counter.
"We carry cool things for kids of all ages," Shufritz said.
He said he has seen the shopping center slowly fill in and become a nighttime destination.
"You can't buy a parking space at this end at night," Shufritz said. "Between Burger Bar 419, Shawn's and American Martial Arts, there is always a crowd of people. We get a lot of what we call 'tourists,' people waiting for a seat at one of the restaurants who normally might not come into a comic book store. But they look around, see what we have and hopefully spread the word."
Burger Bar 419 is an especially exciting addition to Colonial Village Plaza. A restaurant with the gourmet choices and carefully prepared sandwiches featured at Burger Bar 419 should be enough to make even the most ardent vegetarian's mouth water. The restaurant even features three ketchup choices (try the spicy berry) to top such burgers as the Carolina BBQ (barbecue sauce, cheddar cheese, sweet and tangy slaw, topped with fried onion strings); The Heater (romaine lettuce, tomato, onion, pepper jack cheese, green chilis, grilled jalapenos and serranos); the Musty Have (Bibb lettuce, grilled tomato, Taleggio cheese, portabella mushrooms and balsamic glazed red onion); and the Three Little Pigs (ground pork, smoked cheddar, barbecue pork shoulder, with sweet and tangy slaw). There are more than a dozen such creations; the owners could provide a public service by adding a "sampler platter" to the menu that would allow diners to try wedges of four or five specialty burgers.
Shawn's Irish Tavern (previously Shawn's Back Door) provides the after-burger drinks spot to watch the game.
If you feel the need to stretch your legs and walk off your burger, the Encore used bookstore offers a neat selection of books at reasonable prices. There is also a Dollar General that seems to have twice as much stuff on display as its square footage should allow.
Adding to the shopping convenience are a Wixey Bakery and a Meats and More store, which features an exceptional wine cave where you can get a bottle to take home and enjoy with your used books and new comics.
And if you run out of cash for all these options, there's a Key Bank branch within easy walking distance.
If Colonial Village Plaza adds any kind of CD or record store to go with Monarch and Encore, it would have a pop culture triple crown to go with its other claims to fame.
Like Toledo itself, the shopping plaza is humble, diverse and a down-to-earth pleasure to spend time in. It may not have Sausalito's view, Georgetown's urbane atmosphere or the casual hip of Squirrel Hill, but for a quick park, shop and eat trip not based on clothes and fashion, Colonial Village Plaza is the recommended destination.

I had to say that. I played Ryzom and Anarchy Online (not a sandbox per say, but much moreso than GW2) and I was kept entertained for months on end by both games, so that's not the issue. Here are my issues after attempting to like the game 5 different times with 5 different characters:
1. DE's are not exciting. mobs come running out of nowhere, you kill them and then another wave comes...or....you get certain things as part of a collection quest until there are enough.
2. Ive been told the game gets more exciting by level 30 but I can't make it to level 20 before I want to pull my hair and teeth out from boredom...please dont use that...alot of people used that excuse with Aion and SWTOR....probably used it with other games as well...bottom line is, the game can't hold my interest to level 15 let alone level 30.
3. gear itemization is terrible....I go through at least 10 levels before I see any very minute change to the looks of my gear....don't bring up culture gear, because from what I've seen, I have to buy it....it doesnt drop.
4. Although the skills do have some form of collective intertwining, it's still basic and combat is really not that in-depth...it's pretty easy and not intuitive...if you know how to read, you know how to combat.
5. The GW2 fanboi's....this is the least, but it makes a difference....you guys pumped this game up WAYYYY too much....it was a letdown from the onset partially because of this....although I don't think a lack of fanboyism would have made a difference...I just thought I'd point that out.
Stop mentioning sandbox in the same sentence as this game though....it's FARRRR from it...there are more conventional themepark MMO's out there that are more sandbox than this game.

So becouse of someone made a thread named
A themepark game that requires a sandbox mentality... is this GW2's real problem?
you had to make a counter thread and completely ignore the word mentality?

1. Ok, well then do the personal storyline, gather, explore, do the hearts, do WvW, do sPVP, craft, jump puzzles, res fallen allys, do dungeons, vistas, challenge points, etc. I named a boat load of things that give you exp, that most other games don't.
2. I understand this completely. This happened to me sadly in nearly every mmo since I fist got on wow. Not every game is for everyone and I can respect that.
3. Really? Try skins, (free or paid) and equip new items that you get no matter the stats if you want to change your looks, honestly the game requires barely any focus on stats, though for leveling solo I reccomend Vitality. But My character has looked different every 2 levels or so, weapons and armor. But it all stays within a certain theme - for immersion.
4. Easy and intuitive is a good thing, if they weren't the game would be shit! That doesn't mean combat is static or w/e, the combat is actually (opinion) some of the best in any MMO to date, most ranged spells are dodgeable, you have multiple dodges, melee weapons can hit multiple targets as long as they visually hit them (for instance a sword swing could hit as many targets that you see, rather in most mmo's were it only hits the target) and it's just the fine things like that. Really feels on par with single player rpg combat. Which is a breath of fresh air.
5. Well yeah, hype is hype. Nothing ever lives up too it. Though I have not been let down by gw2 in any way. So I guess that means you yourself were too hyped on it? That is not anyones fault but yours! lol
The game is neither a sandbox or a themepark imo, it's somewhere in between. As there is more than one reason to play the game through. Sure the economy isn't 100% player driven, or no player housing, open world, etc. But there is no carrot on a stick gameplay like most MMO's. Though I still think that any game is "sandbox" depending on how you play it. Though the majority may play it as a "themepark." Hard to explain how I feel about it, but I'm trying my best too!

1. I like DEs better than traditional quests and grinding, but I do feel they have a ways to go, to reach the potential of the idea.
2. This is one MMO where I think it starts off strong enough that if you don't like it by level 10, you'll probably really really not like it by level 30.
3. Gear itemization is terrible in every MMO I've played. Except maybe Asheron's Call. I'm so sick of it being balanced to the point of all being the same. but yeah, they could at least mix up appearances. They don't even need to add more art assets, necessarily. Why not give a lv.5 item a 25% chance of looking like a lv.15 item, and a 5% of looking like a lv.25 item, for example?
4. I've found the combat only feels basic when fighting trash mobs and joining zergs. It's when I've had to solo veterans or waves of mobs that I've had to learn how much higher the skill ceiling really is. and that's not even getting into the PvP effect.
5. People pumped it up, because (mostly) they personally liked it, liked what they saw, or experienced in BWEs. If you "bought the hype" rather than judge the game by your own standards, that's your own fault. You can't honestly expect to like something, just because someone else does. Especially just random people on the internet.
When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world.

I think gamers of today like to "pump" new mmos up and then get some kind of thrill bashing it into oblivion after a few weeks of being live. Every mmo recently released has gone through his.
Sandbox is probably the most over used overrated term in mmos

I don't completely understand why, but I'm just not that excited when I play the game. It looks great, its highly polished, I've liked the personal story missions so far up to lvl 17, but other then that I'm just not having much fun playing it. I havent played wow in over a year, but I remember how Blizzard could make multiple quests, that have you doing basically the same things, feel different. You may be going and killing x or collecting y but the narrative surrounding it all disguised it a bit and made it enjoyable. Now maybe I have just killed x and collected y way too many times over the years, but for me GW2 does a particularly bad job at hiding this fact. The questing feels so transparent that I'm just doing the same things over and over. I've only played to lvl 15-17 on four of the races, but the questing outside the story missions felt so mundane to me. Most mmos do not have a wide variety of quest types, the good ones just do a better job of disguing that fact, but like I said, it might just be me and long term mmo burnout.

1. DE's are the evolution of MMO PVE. the upcoming MMO's without dynamic content will be seen as failures. GW2 set the bar.
2. the game is exciting at level 1. if raiding at lvl 5 doesnt cut it for you, then just leave.
3. dont wanna work for anything? then u'll look like a bum. at least it doesnt affect your viability in pve.
4. the combat is not "easy". it's visceral and challenging against good players or certain mobs/bosses.
5. again, Metacritic feels differently. not only was the game pumped up, but the hype continues and the game is killing it. everyone is loving the game, and im sorry u haters feel left out. even though there are a loud hundred of you or so, youre a tiny tiny minority that no1 really cares about.
gw2 is a thempark sandbox, and if you feel otherwise youre delusional. you have all these rides, but you get to choose which ones you go on to level. you can choose how to progress, which basically makes it a sandbox in some respects.
The thing with sandboxes is that all there is to do is grind....well i am grinding...
However once you realize a purpose to killing those mobs, the grind becomes much more entertaining. And no an NPC didnt tell me i need to kill these mobs.
Im not killing 500 mobs because i need to complete this damn quest chain so i can get the hell off this godforsaken boring "farmland" map. Im killing 500 mobs so i can get a few hundred "resources" so i can make a few sets of gear or what have you...so that i can then pvp and lose a few sets due to getting looted (or possibly loot others).
Why am i pvping these people? Well they are in an enemy guild perhaps, and they troll in chat, so they must be stopped. Also they are farming to build up for a seige it looks, and its probably going to be against us, so the more i slow their farming the more time my guild has to prepare...think ill go bribe my spy with their vent access and see what they are up to.
In a themepark im RACING through quest text, skipping cut scenes all stuff i dont care about...rushing past boring maps...why? nothing matters im not at endgame, everythings getting replaced with endgame gear (or in GW2's case lv 80 gear but dont call it grinding for endgame gear because well...its not...or something).
Why am i racing to endgame? well...its endgame...so i can stomp noobs? well open world pvp doesnt really exist and pvp is risk free so all i can do is harass someone maybe, for no gain/loss other than stressing someone. Oh im racing to endgame so i can get AHEAD of everyone else with gear....or pvp xp...but then after that....
A lot of people dont see the flaw in themeparks and wont touch a boring full loot grindfest that is a sandbox. When...well a sandbox has never ending political "endgame" and theres risk of loss with adds importance, and gives reason. Be it losing a guild holding or territory or losing your set of gear...it creates a nice "circle of life" with stuff to do feeding off politics pvp and pve all at once...rather than seperating them via an instance and gear (like pvp gear and pve gear).
I think GW2 will continue to grow among people with the FPS/TPS mentality. It seems they removed the hated themepark gear grind that every single successful themepark has had. Made pvp easy to get into. And gave people lots of options on how to mindlessly race to the belived endgame that doesnt exist so they can hope to gain sone slight advantage against other pvpers in a game with absolutely no risk on the line when pvping. There isnt a grain of sand int his one...sorry

And for the record.
1. DEs are fun. They would be a nice addition to any MMO as they would add random spots of spontaneity, but they aren't an evolution in anything. They aren't enough to build a whole game off of. Frankly they were touted as the next evolution in Rifts......They aren't even as good as Rifts. Certainly, I do them when they pop, but still.
2. Who the hell are you to tell anyone what their opinion needs to be and to tell him to just leave? He'll leave when he wants, not because you determined he should.
3. A GW2 player telling a Ryzom / Anarchy player they don't want to work for anything? Really? You said that right? LOL.
4. Combat is easy. It requires learing some twich moves. But otherwise, it's easy. (BTW, I like this feature. GW2 combat is fun. But it's not hard.)
5. Well, This is just....I don't know what to say. I mean metacritic..How can you argue with that? I mean they still have SWTOR at 85 so I mean It's gotta be accurate right?

I believe in life before death... So dont forget to enjoy it while you still can.
If you treat a game as a bunch of mechanics, no game ever is going to immerse you...
And playing this game as an explorer sure works well for me. Many of the DE´s are really challenging and fun with few people around, they dont scale that good upwards.

The actual thread it references made no claim GW2 was a sandbox game, in fact it clearly stated multiple times it was a themepark through and through. It made no claim as to the game having sandbox features.
You are arguing against a point that you yourself have created.
I never thought I would say it after all these years of posting here, but these forums are actually getting worse. It really is no longer possible to suggest a point and not have it understood or twisted into something else to make a fight out of it.

Different strokes for different folks.
The game as it's finest feature is that it tries to do things differently. That I certainly respect and support.
But, at the end of the day it's about the characters journey. There are levels like a themepark and it's whether people like this journey as set up in gw2 or not.
A lot seem to like it, and that's good. So the OP might not like it, but that's sometimes what happens. It becomes an issue when it's more of a majority with certain aspects being ignored.
For me personally, my experience was DEs were not occurring and due to that the leveling was very slow and did not feel rewarding. Since I am a minority and everyone else gets DEs frequently, and are apparently leveling quickly then it's not a game problem, or a major problem. I am assuming others did not experience the same problem of DEs not occurring enough or feeling that the leveling was too slow.
So if DEs happened more frequently and the leveling was quicker my experience would be very different, but I can certainly imagine what a great experience it would be had I had that experience so I can still say it's a good game.

I will simply convey what I raised my kids with.Wanting to have sex is normal and God has given us common sense. When Jesus talks about lusting in our hearts it really has nothing to do with the sex act itself. It is at first glance seeing another as an idol object.If you decide to have sex, your self gratification is not all that is at stake, you are not seeing the whole picture. First there is pregnancy and we have a solution to that called abortion.I told my boys that there are all kinds of scenarios that you need to weigh. First I asked them if they liked having a father and a mother that loves them, interacts with them, plays with them and talks to them? They said yes. I asked them if they want the same thing for their kids. They answered yes. So then I asked them that if they had sex with someone who was not committed to you and the same desires for children and they got pregnant, do you think you may be risking the happiness of your child? What if she doesn't love you and goes and gets an abortion? What if she wants to keep the child, but doesn't love you and refuses to marry you. If she gives it up for adoption, I am not sure of your rights as the one who fathered it, but you'll still be without her. As we go along, what are the chances of you achieving the goal you agreed to for your kid? So even though there is birth control, it is not 100% foolproof, so is the risk worth taking when you are dealing with something besides your own life?I fortunatly have smart kids, so they understood what I was driving at. Then I moved on to disease.Plainly put, you can get STD's that might kill you, you can get STD's you may have the rest of your life. Your hormones and your stiffy will believe a girl that says she is clean and there is absolutely no way in the spur of the moment that she can prove anything. Worth the risk? It's a yes or no answer.Now we move on to the reality of my own life. My wife and I had sex before we were officially married. There is no religious person alive that can make me feel guilty about it. We fell in love and was comitted before the ceremony ever took place.Getting married before God does not require a physcial ceremony but I encourage you to have one. Believing couples get divorced like any one they might claim as unchurched or ungodly. The ceremony should be an extension of your committmentMy point to my kids here is that before my wife and I did have sex we had already become friends, we had already decided that we wanted to share the rest of our life together , there was nothing spontaneous, nothing not thought through. We both went to the doctor together and got tested for blood type compatibility and disease.During the actual ceremony our commitment was honored by God and my wife and I experienced first hand the spiritual joining of our hearts because it was true love, we did have what may be called in hinduism or buddism a 4th level of consciousness. I know religious people have a problem with that, but we was given the gift of a glimpse what it might be like to be one. We knew we were together spiritually without conscious thought. To this day, neither one of us have to explain it to the other, we know we both were.I tell my boys that we were given a gift I hope they experience. I told them that we never earned it, or did anything special, we believe it was only because we really and deeply loved each other and cannot answer why we were given that priceless gift.And to seek a mate, whoever that may be, that will truly love you exactly the way you are. Be who you are, do not act a different way just to win someone over, your relationship will not be based on true love, it will end up being a duty or simply another divorce statistic. This is because essentially your forming a relationship on a lie. It will not hold to the test of time, period.
hi ya guys,i feel guilty every now and again because i lost my virginity at 17 and then had sex with another man before i got married to my now husband. so i have had 2 sexual partners before marriage.am i then an adulterer? and what can i do about it?GodblessNancy
Paul, I say this with the utmost respect but I am still laughing in a joyous way over one word you used in your discourse........stiffy. Man, that hit a humorous bone in me that is still making me laugh as I write.In all seriousness though this thread is a great one.cp

Michael Chandler vs. Dave Jansen title fight, King Mo's return top Bellator's June 19 show - MMA Fighting
As reported last week, Bellator will launch its 2013 summer series on June 19, and the main card is now set, with a stacked lineup including a championship match.
Undefeated lightweight titleholder Michael Chandler attempts to defend the belt against challenger Dave Jansen in the night's headliner.
Chandler (11-0) won the belt in Nov. 2011, and had his first successful defense in Jan. 2013, when he defeated Rick Hawn via rear naked choke submission. Jansen comes in riding a six-fight win streak, having advanced to a title match after capturing season seven tournament victories over Magomed Saadulaev, Ricardo Tirloni and Marcin Held, respectively.
The show also features the opening round of a four-man light-heavyweight tournament. The opening round matchups include Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal vs. Seth Petruzelli and Renato "Babalu" Sobral vs. Jacob Noe.
The main card will be rounded out with a welterweight fight pitting Jon "War Machine" Koppenhaver against Blas Avena.

To the Editor:
We urge those who treasure The Valley's natural beauty and who have read with concern about the proposed development on Ward Hill in Duxbury to come to next week's meeting of Duxbury's Development Review Board to register their concern.
The proposed development encompasses only four lots, which puts it below the Act 250 radar, but if it is approved it is hard to see it not opening the way to further development. The four lots, amounting to a little over 100 acres, are part of a 2,000-plus-acre parcel which was farmed at one time -- there are some old stone walls -- but has been forest land these past 100 years. The parcel is specifically mentioned in the Duxbury Town Plan as an area that should remain in forestry use. An attempt by a previous owner to open up the whole area for development was turned down by the state environmental board in 1992.
The whole area is above the 1,500-foot contour line. It slopes upwards in easy stages and runs without a break into the Camel's Hump State Park. It is both a priceless natural habitat -- populated by deer, moose, bear and snowshoe hares -- and an inviting recreational habitat. Logging trails make it readily accessible to hikers and cross country skiers. Because of the logging, one gets uninterrupted views to the east. Mount Washington is visible on a good day.
The land is owned by a forestry company headquartered in Wisconsin. Our concern is maintaining the natural beauty of The Valley. Let's not allow this precious tract in Duxbury to be nibbled away.
The DRB's meeting next week is on Tuesday, March 11, at 7 p.m. at the Duxbury town office.

Test ID: AMT
Amitriptyline and Nortriptyline, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring serum concentration during therapy
Evaluating potential toxicity
The test may also be useful to evaluate patient compliance
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that is metabolized to nortriptyline, which has similar pharmacologic activity. The relative blood levels of amitriptyline and nortriptyline are highly variable among patients. Amitriptyline is the drug of choice in treatment of depression when the side effect of mild sedation is desirable. Nortriptyline is used when its stimulatory side effect is considered to be of clinical advantage.
Amitriptyline displays major cardiac toxicity when the concentration of amitriptyline and nortriptyline is in excess of 300 ng/mL, characterized by QRS widening leading to ventricular tachycardia and asystole. In some patients, toxicity may manifest at lower concentrations.
Nortriptyline is unique among the antidepressants in that its blood level exhibits the classical therapeutic window effect; blood concentrations above or below the therapeutic window correlate with poor clinical response. Thus, therapeutic monitoring to ensure that the blood level is within the therapeutic window is critical to accomplish successful treatment with this drug.
Like amitriptyline, nortriptyline can cause major cardiac toxicity when the concentration is in excess of 300 ng/mL, characterized by QRS widening leading to ventricular tachycardia and asystole. In some patients, toxicity may manifest at lower concentrations.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Total therapeutic concentration: 80-200 ng/mL
Total toxic concentration: > or =300 ng/mL
Therapeutic concentration: 70-170 ng/mL
Toxic concentration: > or =300 ng/mL
Note: Therapeutic ranges are for specimens drawn at trough (ie, immediately before next scheduled dose). Levels may be elevated in non-trough specimens.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Most individuals display optimal response to amitriptyline when combined serum levels of amitriptyline and nortriptyline are between 80 and 200 ng/mL. Risk of toxicity is increased with combined levels > or =300 ng/mL.
Most individuals display optimal response to nortriptyline with serum levels between 70 and 170 ng/mL. Risk of toxicity is increased with nortriptyline levels > or =300 ng/mL.
Some individuals may respond well outside of these ranges, or may display toxicity within the therapeutic range, thus interpretation should include clinical evaluation.
Therapeutic ranges are based on specimens drawn at trough (ie, immediately before the next dose).
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Amitriptyline analytical interferences; sertraline may cause falsely low results, and clomipramine, amlodipine, chlorpheniramine, chlorpromazine, promazine, trihexyphenidyl, citalopram, or escitalopram may cause false elevations.
Nortriptyline analytical interferences; sertraline may cause falsely low results, and metformin may cause false elevations.
This test cannot be performed on whole blood. Serum must be separated from cells within 2 hours of drawing; if serum is not removed within this time, tricyclic antidepressant levels may be falsely elevated due to drug release from RBCs. Specimens that are obtained from gel tubes are not acceptable.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
http://www.goodnewsaboutgod.com/studies/otkillergod.htmGood link about wrath. I don't agree with everything in this link, because I do believe God punishes in a corrective nature but good stuff none the less. Here is a good excerpt...The first problem we must address is that the translators have taken great license with the translation of various words in the Bible. "Wrath" and "anger" are no exceptions. In the New Testament, two Greek words are both translated "wrath." They are orge (#3709 in Strong's Concordance) which means desire, or violent passion and thumos (#2372) which means passion, breathing hard, or fury. The translations in the Old Testament are much more varied. Each number on the right in the list below is for a different Hebrew word. But they ALL are translated "wrath." The Hebrew language is very precise. Each word has a specifically different meaning. This shows that the translators arbitrarily chose to translate all of these different words as "wrath." But they do NOT all mean wrath The Hebrew word aph (#639) means rapid breathing in passion. Chemah (#2534) is defined as hot with passionEbrah (#5678) means outburst of passionQetseph (#7110) means, literally, a splinter or "chipped off". Freely translated it means to be displeased, to fret or possibly to burst out. Kaac (#3707) - to be grieved or sorrowful, to be troubled.All these words have specific meanings which denote a passionate displeasure or a sorrowful troubled spirit, yet they are ALL translated "wrath." This, of course, makes God appear violent, frightening and vengeful, apparently the way the translators chose to present God to the world, a "ferocious" God that agrees with their own theology. A more accurate translation is that God is passionately sorrowful or troubled. God, Himself, Defines His "Wrath."Human beings define wrath as "intense anger, rage fury, vengeance" according to Webster's New World Dictionary. But God defines His wrath in a totally different way. Look at Romans 1:18: "For the wrath (Greek word orge) of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold (suppress) the truth in unrighteousness." Then verses 24, 26 and 28 tell us how God demonstrates His wrath: Verse 24: "Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves." Verse 26: "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections; for even their women did change (exchange) the natural use into (for) that which is against nature." Verse 28: "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate (debased) mind, to do those things which are not convenient (fitting)." So we see that God's wrath is just giving us up to our own sinful ways to reap what we have sown. He doesn't punish us. He doesn't harm us in any way. He just let's us go the way we have chosen. We then punish ourselves by our wrong decisions. God has given us the 10 Commandments as a guide for our life. He says that if we obey them, our lives will be easier and happier. If we don't obey them, our lives will be harder and more sorrowful - - - NOT because He's going to punish us, but because the natural result of our actions and behavior will bring us sorrow and pain. When our children were young, we warned them not to play in the street. We didn't say, "If you play in the street, I'll kill you." No, we said "I love you and I don't want to see you hurt. If you play in the street, you might be injured or killed." It's the same with God. He says, "I love you and I want your life to be happy and healthy. If you don't obey the guidelines I have given you, I won't punish you, but you will punish yourselves by bringing on yourselves the results of your behavior. You will reap what you have sown."

When I bought this clay, I was hoping for something I could actually mold... Right when I opened it, it was rock hard! I searched all the ways to make it soft,like kneading it, it was too hard to even do that. It was like trying to mold something out of an eraser... When i tried to mold, it crumbled into a million pieces, and I couldn't even piece it back together! And hobby lobby won't even take it back! Do NOT buy this... I bought 4 packs and wasted like 8 dollars! Mad at Hobby Lobby now... I would have rather got playdough than this!

Re: Premier League 09-10
West Ham - Manchester City
Manchester City have won only two of their nine Premier League trips to Upton Park. Their last win away to the Hammers was on the opening day of the 2007/08 season, when Rolando Bianchi and Geovanni scored.
The Hammers have won only one of their last seven league games against City, a 1-0 home victory last season when Jack Collison netted the only goal.

Wolves - Sunderland
Sunderland have a winning record in this fixture, with 48 victories to Wolves' 37, and have won five of the last nine meetings between the sides.

Arizona Cardinals
Potential candidates for Cardinals head coaching job
After six seasons in the desert, the ax fell on head coach Ken Whisenhunt, the majority of his offensive staff and general manager Rod Graves Monday morning.
The Cardinals became the first team in league history to start a season with a 4-0 record and end with a 5-11 mark.
Whomever the franchise hires as the new GM will have a long and impressive list of candidates to choose from to replace the winningest coach in team history.
In-house candidates
Ray Horton, Defensive Coordinator, Arizona Cardinals - Horton has only two years of experience as a coordinator in the NFL, but has opened the eyes of many around that league in a short time. Most feel the Cardinals, fueled by Horton's defensive scheme, would have been a playoff-caliber team with even an average NFL offense.
Horton will be a popular target for interviews around the National Football League this offseason, as seven head coaching jobs have opened up.
Former NFL head coaches
Jon Gruden, ESPN analyst and former head coach of the Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Gruden's name comes up often for coaching vacancies in both the pro and college ranks, but he claims he's happy as an analyst opposite Mike Tirico on Monday Night Football.
In 11 seasons as an NFL head coach, Gruden racked up a 95-81 record, five playoff trips and a Super Bowl title for the Bucs in 2002.
Bill Cowher, CBS analyst and former head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers - Cowher has been out of coaching since 2006, but is a frequent target of coaching rumors. In 15 years at the helm of the Steelers, Cowher finished 149-90-1, guided ten teams to the playoffs, won two conference championships and a Super Bowl in 2005.
Lovie Smith, former head coach of the Chicago Bears - Smith guided the Chicago Bears to a 10-win season in 2012, but they missed the playoffs for the fifth time in six years and team ownership wasn't pleased.
Smith had an 81-62 in Chicago and guided the Bears to a 13-win season and an NFC championship in 2006. Smith also has familiarity with the Valley, having served as the linebackers coach at Arizona State under Larry Marmie from 1988 to 1991.
Tony Dungy, NBC analyst and former head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts - Dungy last coached in the NFL in 2008 with the Colts, and compiled a very impressive 139-69 record on NFL sidelines. In his 13 seasons as a head coach, he missed the playoffs only twice and suffered only losing season -- 1996, his first season in Tampa Bay.
While his name appears in rumors frequently, Dungy appears to be very content as a studio analyst for NBC, as he very succinctly stated on his Twitter feed last week.
We lived in Kansas City 3 years and loved it. I love the Hunt family. But I will not be back in coaching, there or anywhere else.— Tony Dungy (@TonyDungy) December 27, 2012
Norv Turner, former head coach of the San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders and Washington Redskins - The 60-year-old Turner has been regarded as one of the top offensive minds in football for two decades. However, as a head coach, he's left a little to be desired, compiling a 113-122-1 record in 15 seasons. After coaching the Chargers to three straight playoff appearances from 2007 to 2009, Turner posted a very pedestrian 24-24 record over the last three seasons which led to his dismissal in San Diego.
NFL Coordinators
Todd Haley, offensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers - Haley was part of Whisenhunt's staff during the Cardinals' improbable run to the Super Bowl in 2008, and nearly rejoined the team last offseason before landing in Pittsburgh. Haley spent two-plus seasons as the head coach in Kansas City, coaching the Chiefs to an AFC West title in 2010.
He's not the easiest guy in the world to get along with, but is reported to be held in high regard by the Bidwill family.
Mike McCoy, offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos - The 40-year old McCoy is one of, if not the, hottest commodity among coordinators in the NFL. He hasn't been a head coach at any level, but has served as the O.C. in Denver since 2009.
And besides Horton, McCoy's name was the first to pop up in Cardinals-specific rumors Monday.
Arizona and Chicago have asked for and received permission to interview Broncos OC Mike McCoy for their HC job. Will interview this weekend.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 31, 2012
McCoy has proven he can thrive with established star quarterbacks like Peyton Manning this season, or young, inexperienced signal callers like Tim Tebow, who under McCoy's watch, led the Broncos to a division championship and a playoff win in 2011.
Gus Bradley, defensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks - Bradley spent 16 seasons as a defensive assistant at small colleges before joining Monte Kiffin's defensive staff with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2006. In 2009, he became the defensive coordinator with the Seahawks, where his unit ranked fourth in the league in total defense this season.
College coaches
Chip Kelly, head coach at the University of Oregon - Kelly has been one of the most successful coaches in the country over the last four seasons, compiling a 45-7 record and guiding the Ducks to four straight BCS bowl games. He's arguably the most coveted candidate for all NFL coaching candidates, but there is some question about whether Kelly's offense will translate well to the pro game.
Nick Saban, head coach at the University of Alabama - Saban has been long considered a coaching nomad; in fact his current six-year stay in Tuscaloosa is the longest of his coaching career. That fact has led to rampant speculation that he'll try his hand at the NFL after a failed two-year experiment with the Miami Dolphins. His services will command a high salary -- one probably not in line with the Cardinals' budget.
