Hello Everyone,
This is my intro post. I apologize if this is in a jumble because I'm not really sure of how to approach this subject.
I just started recently seeing some. Actually, I just moved to a part of the country where he lives after being in a long distance relationship with him. He is a wonderful man but we are having some issues. One of the biggest is that I am wary of becoming involved with a man again. I was deeply hurt by my recent past experience with my ex. There was a severe lack of communication, connection, and understanding between us. Led to infidelity, lying, betrayal, and a complete destruction of trust.
The man I am seeing now is very gentle, very sweet. He is what I describe as "touchy-feely". Loves to snuggle, kiss, hold hands, be close. Sounds great except for one thing. We've had some problems/issues with sex. He was having some trouble with ED and I automatically wondered if it was porn related. Why? Because the same thing happened with my ex. He began to have trouble with this and made excuses. It wasn't until I caught him watching porn that I automatically made the connection (this was many years ago and I had already intuitively made the connection between ED and porn...it just makes sense) to his ED. So I thought that this might be a problem with my current interest. It was more of a problem with my teasing him, a difference in culture, and his worry over whether he would be able to please me or not.
FFW...when I was wondering about whether our problem was due to porn-related ED, I stumbled upon this community. I want to try karezza with him. Why? Because I don't like the way orgasms make me feel. A little sick, a little angry. They leave me with a strong desire to push my partner away. I want to be left alone after they happen. I don't have them easily or often during sex but I do give them to myself when alone (tension release and insomnia cure). Even while alone, I don't like the way I always feel afterward.
My partner thinks that giving me orgasms is very important. He also thinks him having them is very important. I have no idea of how to introduce such a concept to him. I've already talked to him just recently about how I really dislike the after affects of orgasms. He was okay with that but I didn't bring up him not having them. He is very open-minded, willing to listen, and receptive. His love of attachment behaviors (see above) seems like it would make him more apt to respond to karezza. But like almost everyone else, he comes with preconceived notions of how sex "ought to be". I am unsure of how to even address this. Where do I start?
Thanks everyone.
Always great to have another woman here.
He sounds like a lovely man. Can't blame him for not knowing about something as unfamiliar as karezza. It took me years to wrap my head around it, even though I could see the potential in the idea right away.
Maybe his ED is a blessing, because it's the perfect opportunity to give him this book: http://www.reuniting.info/tantric_sex_for_men_richardson It contains a practice called "soft entry." That's a way of having sex, regardless of erection state. So it would take all the performance pressure off of him.
At the same time it also explains the wisdom of sidestepping orgasm, so he would get a lot of educating about the karezza approach (although the book calls it "tantra").
Have you prowled around the "Karezza Korner"? It has lots of helpful advice, too: http://www.reuniting.info/karezza_korner_intro He might even enjoy reading some of it.
I'll also enable you to start your own blog, in case you'd like to. http://www.reuniting.info/resources/bloggers
Hello Marnia, Thank you for
Hello Marnia,
Thank you for the reply.
He doesn't seem to have much of a problem with ED anymore since we cleared up our misunderstanding. He is definitely the sort of man to be affected physically if something emotionally is bothering him.
I will be getting several books here. I want him to read them but I really don't want him to misunderstand me again. He's already let me know that he would consider it dishonest if I held back from having an orgasm if he was causing me to have one. He wants me to have them. I feel uncomfortable telling him about how orgasms make me feel. He doesn't understand that because of how his make him feel. I'm not sure I can persuade him to give that up.
I want to give them up. We were together the other night and...well, let me just say that the after affect is not pretty. I feel intensely hostile toward him right now. I don't want to see or talk to him. He's confused and upset by my distance (even though he knows that I often withdraw to take time to process my emotions). I don't want to cause damage by being harsh so it's better to avoid him until I can regain my equilibrium.
On my end, I am unsure of my ability to attach. I was just ended a marriage of 22 years. I fall under the "dismissal" pattern of attachment. I am highly autonomous (and an atypical female). My ex was the opposite and felt free to cheat on me instead of communicating to me how he felt about our relationship. It left some significant marks on me.
I'm not even sure if I can do this...be bonded to someone...attached to another in this way. It sounds rather scary to me. I don't have deep emotional needs but my interest does. I do want to try. Gah...I'm just scared. I'd hate to lose this man because I am too scared or can't attach. I'd also hate to lose him because his desire for me has dulled. He's not the type that would leave because he is very loyal but he is very idealistic and would suffer in silence.
I think I am frightened by attachments dying because of the "thrill" being gone. It's even more sad when people desperately try to hang on to it and it just doesn't work. I am tempted to avoid this all together by not being in a relationship.
Wow...I cannot believe I am admitting something like this. I was with someone for 22 years and never revealed such private thoughts.

While I haven't been in the exact situation you have
I can identify with your desire to avoid the pain of loving someone who doesn't love you back the way you want or need. Until recently, I always felt I carried ghosts of past broken relationships, and when my current partner would say something that upset me, it could trigger either irrational anger, or irrational fear that the relationship was ending, and that would send me into a place where I was unable to calm down or be rational at all.
If you are getting some of Diana Richardson's books, pick up her book, "Feeling vs. Emotion" - it really helped me a lot with these unwanted emotions related to my past broken relationships.

Wow...I cannot believe I am admitting something like this. I was with someone for 22 years and never revealed such private thoughts.
Welcome to societal detox where we let it all hang out. It's a tad weird, but for our better.
What do you mean by you don't have deep emotional needs?
Do you want to attach, but that is scary or don't want to attach (right now)?
Welcome Odrade,
I'm happy to hear from another voice that is interested in non-orgasmic sex. I'm also happy to hear that you, like myself, do not like the "social scripts" of "how sex is supposed to be". As a man, knowing about karezza takes an enormous pressure off me which I always felt around "needing to perform". If your man is anything like me, karezza will be a relief to find out about.
Thanks, Telepathy. I've
Thanks, Telepathy. I've always been a quiet rebel. I felt I had to since I am bisexual.
I think he has been exposed to a lot of cultural programming. I also think that he has a difficult time because he is an introspective, gentle, loving person and doesn't fall into the cultural guidelines of how a man should be. So I wonder if some of this will come across as me telling him he's not really a man so stop trying to be...or if it will be ultimately liberating for him.
Ever unfolding, ever new....
Wanna Script?
"I care deeply for you and want this relationship to continue and grow. I'm feeling distant right now and want some space BECAUSE I had an orgasm. It will take some time to recover and then I would like to be with you. There is an excellent book you could read, CPA, and a website devoted to this phenomenon." That's what I'd want to hear.
I think maybe some of the doubts I'm hearing from you are hangover symptoms......just sayin'
Best Wishes
What you feel
after orgasm is not unusual and not good for any relationship...regardless of your past. You're right not to try to talk to him while you're upset.
My advice is to take your time before you try to share anything about this, other than the fact that you love him, and that you're going to find a way to get this sorted out if it's at all possible. He's just trying to love you and has never learned any other way to do it.
Meanwhile, let's help you come up with a strategy. If you don't think he'd read a book, would he read this post? http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/cupids-poisoned-arrow/200908/the-pas... Also, there's an old book by a male doctor on this subject available free here: http://www.sacred-texts.com/sex/krz/index.htm I have plenty of other ideas, too.
Relationships are precious and it's way too soon to determine your potential for attachment (especially for the next couple of weeks I've noticed the "hangover" can flicker for that long in some of us).
These replies are
These replies are wonderful.
I sent him the linked article. He was intrigued and said he wanted to learn more. So a very good start indeed!
Ever unfolding, ever new....
What strikes me when I read your posts is how clearly you express, where you're at, what you want, and what's holding you back. This is great, many folks have trouble getting this far, and you are owning what's yours. On top of that it sounds like you have a receptive partner. You have much potential here. He may be a little resistant to practicing non-orgasmic lovemaking but this is a tall order to receive for most guys right out of the gate. It sounds like he will respond, given some time.
My question to you, is this. Have you shared the inner struggles you express here on this site with him as well? Trust begins with open communication, exposing who you are,no matter how scary. He needs to know those private thoughts you're having. Will he receive and support you in your struggles with intimacy,self worth and past wounding? Sounds like he would but you need to know this if you don't already. I, of course cannot know where your relationship is at but this is where I would start if you haven't gone there yet. I'm sure he's got "stuff" roaming around in him as well. I find honest exposure encourages honest exposure.
You mention being from different cultures. May I ask, what cultures are you and he from?
Thank you for your
Thank you for your thoughtful reply.
I think in time, he will be receptive to this. He is very open-minded and the type of person that finds real pleasure in making his partner happy.
I have communicated much of what I think. It was difficult because I often have difficulty expressing my thoughts. It is even more difficult to express feelings (when I can attach an accurate label to whatever it is I am feeling) and I seldom do. I try so hard with him because of who he is and how he affects me. He is extremely supportive and affirming. I am reluctant to lift the lids on my feelings. He is a great...hmm, I don't want to use the word "help" but that is close enough...help in this. He can identify and pinpoint feelings in me that I often dismiss as irrelevant. He has a gift of giving me a safe place so that feelings/emotions are not so threatening to me. In turn, I listen to him express his emotional complexity, his dreams (dreaminess), and his highly individualistic ways without judgment or dismissal. He is on the surface "a nice guy" but underneath that thoughtful, introspective, and full of depth. So yes, I think there is a great deal of potential here.
We are honest and open but in my mind, practicing karezza will take this to a new level. In other words, I cannot see this taking place without an open dialogue about emotional expectations, the reality of what "normal" sex is about and our personal history with it, etc. It digs out a lot from the hidden realms in the minds and hearts.
Or this is at least, my perception of it.
He is white. I am a triracial (Indian/white/black) metis from the South. I feel so comfortable around him that I often fail to "code-switch" when I talk to him. It's led to a couple of misunderstandings. *sheepish grin*

What you want
Hi, Odrade~
I've been thinking about your post for a couple of days and wanted to say a couple of things to you.
First of all, I understand how hard it is for your lover to understand why you don't want to have orgasmic sex anymore~~men can get very attached to seeing their women orgasm, as can women when it comes to a man's ejaculation.
However, in the end, it is *your* body and you have the final word as to what you do with it. No one can make you have an orgasm (I know it *feels* like someone can make you have one, but in reality, it's your own mind that leads you to it). So if you want to try making love without it, then that is entirely up to you (and it's hard mental work if someone insists on trying to make you have one--so you might need to have a discussion about that).
But on the same hand, it's also *his* body and if he wishes to have an orgasm, that is his prerogative.
I don't see karezza as an "all or nothing" situation. The beauty of karezza is the *way* you make love~~it's a way that allows you to open up to him sexually as never before. As you continue to get greater and greater satisfaction through lovemaking, the more you want to do it. Where it becomes a partnership is when you are able to trust him enough to open up to him fully (physically and through your heart) and he is trustworthy enough to go slow and not hurt you. Once he has been invited into your deepest space, he won't want to have the door closed on him again~
The tricky part is finding out whether he would like to try to make love this way, although I can tell you that once he has given it a try, I think he will really start to love it (but no guarantees! I don't think everyone is at a point where they are ready for it, as I've seen through some of the posts on this forum).
In my own relationship, I would rather not have orgasms. I get sad and a bit off-kilter when I have them. But sometimes, after many hours and days of making slow love, my beloved might consciously decide to have one at the end of our time together. That his choice and because he doesn't seem to suffer after-effects, it's something he might do occasionally. (I have yet to ever feel that he withdraws from me emotionally, etc., but I feel that is because we have spent so much time in closeness of our souls and hearts.) His orgasm does not negate the beauty of our lovemaking nor our time together!
And I also wanted to mention to you that I was also in a marriage for 22 years~~and one of the first things I promised myself after my divorce is that I would never again try to be someone I'm not just to please another person. So if that means I want to be an orgasm-shunning woman, then so be it! And if my lover decides he'd rather be with someone to whom he can give orgasms, then so be it, too! (but I think he's pretty much forgotten about the whole "make her cum" thing, lol, thank goodness!)

Great post Rachel
I was thinking the same thing, and have been too busy to write it. I doubt I would have done as good a job as you did. Where should I add this to KK d'ya think?
Thank you
Thank you, Marnia~~
I'm not sure, maybe under "How to explain this to a date or partner"?
(and feel free to correct my spelling and/or missing words that I just noticed!)
~A heart that is open to appreciate every blessing should always be bigger than the eyes that see what is missing. ~Rumi
Rachel, Thanks for the
Thanks for the reply.
I agree. Men can get very attached to a woman's orgasms. I finally explained what could happen with me having orgasms. He was disappointed at first but when I let him know that the side-effects left me feeling disconnected from him, that caught his attention. He prizes our connection and doesn't want that to be disrupted in any way, so he said it was fine with him.
I made sure to only say this from my point of view, what happens in my mind, and body. I didn't want him to get the feeling that he must do this or else. I think the biggest hurdle is, well was, trying to communicate to him about why I didn't want to have orgasms.
The past few times we have been together, things have been different. He still has orgasms (I haven't pressed him on this) but he is okay with me not having them. He is especially happy that he doesn't see the agitation and the post-orgasm Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde switch.
"The beauty of karezza is the *way* you make love~~it's a way that allows you to open up to him sexually as never before. As you continue to get greater and greater satisfaction through lovemaking, the more you want to do it. Where it becomes a partnership is when you are able to trust him enough to open up to him fully (physically and through your heart) and he is trustworthy enough to go slow and not hurt you. Once he has been invited into your deepest space, he won't want to have the door closed on him again~"
Yes, you eloquently phrased what I touched on in my reply to Darryl. It is definitely something to take slow. Built on trust and a willingness to be fully open to one's partner.
I don't mean to sound hokey but I think this could be life-changing for he and I.
Ever unfolding, ever new....
Sounds very promising
I'm happy for you, Odrade. Let us know how it goes.
Not hokey!
It *is* life-changing when sex goes from something you do to "get off" or release energy to something you do to nourish each other. I hope you both find it as soul-satisfying as I do~
~A heart that is open to appreciate every blessing should always be bigger than the eyes that see what is missing. ~Rumi

It's been a year and time for an update and question.
Anyone have thoughts or experiences with cuddling an ex-partner? Unfortunately, things didn't work out with my partner and we are no longer together. Surprisingly for me, I miss being close to him. I'm not sure if cuddling with him is wise, though since I am trying to maintain some emotional distance from him at this point.

You can customize the first ESXi host that you boot for your environment and create a host profile. You can set up Auto Deploy to provision other target hosts with that host profile. The ESXi host you create the host profile from is considered your reference host or template host.
How you configure the reference host depends on what you want to do.
Customize hosts by setting up the host profile to prompt for user input for a limited number of options such as a static IP address. Host customizations are saved when you save the host profile. See Host Customization in the vSphere Web Client.
Auto Deploy applies all common settings from the host profile to all target hosts. If you set up the host profile to ask for user input, all hosts provisioned with that host profile come up in maintenance mode. You must reapply the host profile or reset host customizations to be prompted for the host-specific information.
Make sure your system meets the requirements in the preinstallation checklist. See Proof of Concept Preinstallation Checklist.

New Delco, Indiantown (IP) - An Indian village at the edge of the Delco mountain range is teeming with Cobras. The Cobras appear out of no where around every twist and turn.
The folks in New Delco race the Cobras on Friday nights on a one mile track. The fast back windows reflect the outdoor lights and the glimmer of the lights create a psychedelic effect as the roaring rigs reach speeds approaching 160 MPH.
Each Cobra is a collector's item fetching prices as high as six figures. None of the Cobra's owners are in a hurry to let their prize possession go. They spend hours every weekend polishing and shining up their pet Cobras and each one has been given a name like Mustang Sally, Miss Molly, Roaring Rachael, and Lucky Lucille among others.
Cobras can be deadly. One time an out of town Cobra lover lost control of his beast and it ran over a fire hydrant which was declared D.O.A. and the utilities department had to replace it to the tune of $6,000 in labor, materials, and lost water which the Cobra's owner was charged for.
Next week a parade of over 100 Cobras will come slithering and winding their way down the curves of Main Street in the annual Main Street Cobra Rally. One of the main attractions will be a real live snake charmer who will be charming a live reptile that has been de-fanged and everyone is urged to bring their cameras along to record the colorful event.

Parliament sets rules for Steel tax evasion probe
Parliament today announced six grounds that will be used by the Committee on Finance Planning and Economic Development in probing alleged cases of tax evasion by steel companies in the country.
The terms issued by Mr Jacob Oulanyah, the Deputy Speaker of Parliament follow a motion on Wednesday by Bukooli County North MP, Gaster Kyawa Mugoya, for the House to investigate serious allegations of tax evasion in the steels sector.
The six grounds include, "investigating the allegations that companies in the skills sector in Uganda evade taxes and establish any tax revenues lost, examine the adequacy of the applicable law and regulations and establish the adequacy of tax procedures and process on the steel sector in Uganda," as announced by Mr Oulanyah.
The Deputy Speaker added that the committee chaired by Mr.Henry Musasizi (NRM-Rubanda County East) will also, "investigate the operation of the companies in the steel sector to ascertain compliance with the tax obligations and other laws, establish weather companies in the steel sector import finished products disguised as raw materials, make accurate declaration of their transactions to URA, properly invoice sales, exports and imports."
The committee is further charged with examining the conduct of URA and any other government agency connected to the steel industry to ascertain whether they have fulfilled their mandate in so fas
the steels sector is concerned, and also examine any other matter incidental to and person to the above and make recommendations for the optimisation of cash revenue in the steels sector.
William Nzoghu (FDC-Busongora North) failed to convince the speaker to include other companies suspected to evade taxes.
"There are also other companies evading taxes and given the opportunity, it would be appropriate to include those other companies so that the committee can do the work comprehensively," Nzoghu.
However, the Deputy Speaker declined, saying that the matter was already at the hansard and extending it to other sectors would drag the committee's business.
"If we enlarge this beyond what has been presented and is already in the record of parliament, the committee may need a lot of time that might affect its mandatory obligations," he said.
Mr Jacob Oboth Oboth (NRM-West Budama County South) supported Mr.Oulanyah's ruling before the House adopted the terms of reference.
The House also declined to adopt proposals by Mr Kenneth Lubogo (NRM-Bulamogi County) to incorporate members from the Committee of Trade, Tourism and Industry as ex-officials to help the committee of Finance Planning and Economic Development.

Interview with James Bryant, Developer of Land Air Sea Warfare by Isotope 244
by Rob on
May 27, 2010
Filed under App News, News, Tips and How-To's
We're pleased to have had the chance to spent a little time with James Bryant, owner and president of Isotope 244 – a small game development company he founded 10 years ago. Bryant has had success programming games for various platforms including Windows, Mac OS and even mobile platforms as well. This is his story of getting Land Air Sea Warfare ported to the iPhone.
1. Tell us a little bit about yourself and Isotope 244.
All was lost when my parents gave me the Atari 2600 many years ago; I was hooked on gaming and knew it's what I wanted to do! I grew up with Nintendo and Sega and started programming games in high school, later while in college I sold my first game to a company making a compilation CD. The games kept getting bigger and eventually I quit my daytime job and started doing it full time, that was about 10 years ago. Isotope 244 is my massive company of one person.
2. You have been developing games for other platforms for over 10 years. These other platforms include windows and mac os and windows mobile. What is the main draw to the iPhone?
The main draw of the iPhone is its cool multi-touch interface, being the first mobile platform to feature it. After its popularity surged the other draws are its huge market, easy distribution, good API, and rock solid hardware.
3. Any drawbacks to producing apps for the iPhone?
The fact that the API is based in Objective-C was a drawback for me, and probably most people. With how popular C/C++ is it should have been the obvious choice. When writing a game though the Objective-C portion of the code is minimal, but it still takes significant time to learn those portions, which could be spent making the game better.
4. Will you produce any iPad apps?
Yes I plan on doing an iPad optimized version of Land Air Sea Warfare, it will most likely be a universal binary. The game will carry over to the iPad very well; I already have user interface mockups done and am excited to see how it plays.
5. How long did it take you to develop (or port) your app to iPhone? (estimated hours and timeline)
I have been working on Land Air Sea Warfare full time for 2 years, so about 20,000 hours. The iPhone specific portion of it took about a month.
6. What assistance did you get in developing? if any. (people? training? etc)
I am a one man company and did all of the design, programming, graphics, testing, audio editing, and some of the artwork. I do get some of my assets from third parties such as some 3d models and artwork. I also hired voice actors for the sound effects in the game.
7. Many people that develop for iPhone are new to Objective-C (Apples programming language). Did you know Objective-C prior to writing the app? or did you learn it as you went?
I had no experience with Objective-C before this game, I learned as I developed the game, Apples documentation and examples were a great starting point, and the message forums were my second source and a great learning tool.
8. What were some of the barriers that you had to overcome in getting an app coded, completed and into the iTunes store?
The number of assets in the game is a lot to handle for one person. The game has over 10,000 frames of animation, 100 different units and technologies, over 500 sound effects, artwork, supports resolutions from 240×240 to 1920×1200, and supports four different platforms. Making a game as complex as a real time strategy game to scale over that range of devices was a great lesson.
9. Do you feel your time was well spent in developing for the iPhone platform?
It is still to early in the games release to judge, but I am hopeful as almost everyone who has reviewed the game has given it 5/5 stars and says it's the best RTS on the platform right now. I am still ramping up my marketing efforts for the game by requesting reviews, doing interviews, and setting up advertising.
10. What is your expectation of success? ie: we know that there are Cinderella stories for iPhone developers going huge, what are your expectations?
I expect the game to sell decently and make it into the top 25 strategy games at one point. Hopefully the mighty hand of Apple will help me out on this with a feature on the game in the future.

My husband's birthday falls in February which calls for some cake, yay! I admit I did not bake the biscuits but found them in the sale isle of a supermarket for 25p a pack (Christmas stock) with icing pens, red balls and ribbons making this an easy make. The cake was a very simple Victoria sponge but by far the best I've ever made, despite using the exact same recipe and utensils/ cooker etc. It was a big hit with the Birthday Boy
There has been so much rain here as many will have seen on the news. It's difficult to keep younger children occupied in doors so I was pleased when the rain ceased for a day. Out came the chalks, hats and coats and the girls played outside for over an hour, happily drawing pictures, playing hop scotch and I had a quiet cup of tea.
No arguments or pestering; just giggles, hops and jumps that certainly made the tea taste better.
On the rainy days, I have been taking the girls to the library (which we can almost see from our drive- very close indeed). Fiona is just learning to read and really enjoys an hour there exploring her growing awareness of words while Lydia likes the new books and also the putting them away again. There are pictures and pencils for when she gets bored and of course, there are grown up's books too (for when we get bored).
I borrowed these 2 books which I love for different reasons. Living in a rented flat has made me think about the home differently. The items we're buying are usually 2nd hand and so not always to our desired taste as function and cost are the deciding factors. The Pearl Lowe 'Vintage Craft' has been inspiring as she encourages you to upcycle in simple but effective ways. There are loads of books doing the same but I particularly like her style and she gives a little intro to the chapters which I've loved reading.
The other book is also amazing! It's called 'Crochet at Play' by Kay Golding which I picked it up and saw a few projects and decided I wanted to take it home. On getting it home, I discovered there were several projects which had been featured in Mollie Makes which I had earmarked and even posted to Facebook. I've since seen it in 'The Works' for £5 and will most definitely be purchasing a copy. There are hats, cardigan's, toys, novelty items and interior bits- nearly all of which I really want to try. I even bought some cotton yarn to attempt the star shaped rug for Michael's room which is slowly coming together,
So, despite the floods here in Worcestershire, we're having fun and half term hasn't started yet!

IVN Covers Our Portfolio of Endorsements
Independent Voter Network covered our announcement that the Centrist Project Voice was endorsing a portfolio of five moderate candidates for Senate.
As the ideological divide between the two major parties widens, the definition of "partisanship" is shifting to the political extremes. Thus, an election system that encourages only the most partisan to participate is producing candidates who are less likely to compromise or work across the aisle. Members of Congress spend more time pointing fingers than working together to find real solutions to the nation's biggest problems.

Channing Dungey, ABC Entertainment Group president, described ABC shows not as money makers or ratings giants but as "our brand of storytelling" and said that ABC has spent years building a promise of relevant, compelling stories from bold, passionate storytellers. I agree that ABC has a style different from the other networks and I think that most of what they have coming up will build on that style.
Fall TV Preview: ABC
ABC has chosen stability for the second year running. There are five new shows premiering in the fall — fewer than in past seasons. Monday starts with the twenty-third season of Dancing with the Stars leading into the new drama Conviction. The Middle moves to Tuesday to anchor the night, leading into the new comedy American Housewife.
Fall 2015 TV Preview: ABC
ABC has only four fall series premieres this year and the cast of characters is very interesting! We have a former Miss India and Bollywood star, an actual doctor, medical license and all, my teen crush Sonny Crockett and my childhood favorite, Miss Piggy. (And the rest of the Muppets too.)
Upfronts 2015: The Power of TV
The future is here. Technology has been fully embedded into our daily routines and consumers have become accustomed to an on-demand lifestyle. Programming is readily available and consumption is fragmented across TV, mobile, tablet, desktop and over-the-top devices. While past upfronts have focused on new technologies and the access for advertisers, there was nostalgia this year at the upfronts.
Fall 2014 TV Preview: ABC
Paul Lee, President of ABC's Entertainment Group, is extremely optimistic, like 'drank the Kool-Aid' optimistic. Some of his positive comments about the new season have merit. He says they're looking for more diverse voices, not just actors but writers and producers, and that's true. ABC has three new comedies, Cristela, Black-ish and Fresh Off The Boat that feature Hispanic, African-American and Asian families […]

"The joint lenders' forum meeting of HCC held on July 12, 2016 has passed to resolve the account under the recent RBI guidelines 'Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets (S4A)'," the company said in a BSE filing.
The company said it will help it bridge the gap of 'Cashflow Timing Mismatch' between claims realisation (including its interest) and debt servicing.
It further said: "Under S4A scheme, the debt of the company will be bifurcated into two parts - sustainable debt, which cannot be less than 50 per cent of existing debt and will have to be serviced over the same terms as that of existing facilities.
The other unsustainable part of the loan can either be converted into equity/redeemable optionally convertible preference share\optionally convertible debentures, with clearly spelt out terms".
HCC added that lenders get 90 days from 'Reference Date' (July 12) to formulate the resolution plan and implement the same, along with necessary internal approvals.
HCC, which has a debt pile of over Rs 12,000 crore, in its annual report for the previous fiscal, said it is finding it difficult to get buyers for its asset monetisation plan.
The company is keen on monetising its non-core assets to generate cash and repay debt.
In fiscal 2012-13, the company had availed of a corporate debt restructuring (CDR) package with a consortium of its bankers.
HCC had reported a net profit of Rs 84.97 crore in 2015-16, while its turnover stood at Rs 4,191 crore. The order book grew 25.4 per cent at Rs 18,123 crore, excluding L1 contracts worth Rs 3,701 crore.

If their announcements are to be believed, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart brought The Grateful Dead's 50-year career to an end Sunday night with a third show at Chicago's Soldier Field. That ended the five-show Fare Thee Well tour, which was also staged in Santa Clara, California a week earlier.
Sunday night at midnight, with Bob Weir on vocals, the Dead -- joined by Bruce Hornsby on piano, Trey Anastasio of Phish on guitar and keyboardist Jeff Chimenti -- may have served up their last song: "Attics of My Life," from 1970's American Beauty.
The five shows presented a total of 84 songs, with the only repeats being "Truckin'" and "Cumberland Blues." The consensus of fans is that the first show in each city was the best.
The lights on the Empire State Building in New York were synchronized to the band's live performance of "U.S. Blues" and the building was shown on the screens at Soldier Field.
Saturday and Sunday in Chicago found the band a bit off their game.
There are rumors the band will tour in the fall with John Mayer -- who was in the audience for all five shows -- on guitar.
The Chicago shows will be released on CD, DVD, Blu-ray -- as well as digitally -- on November 20th.
A couple of side notes from the Chicago run:
An estimated 280,000 Deadheads attended the three Chicago show.
Fireworks closed out Saturday's show.
President Obama sent a message which said, "Here's to fifty years of the Grateful Dead, an iconic American band that embodies the creativity, passion, and ability to bring people together that makes American music so great. Enjoy this weekend's celebration of your fans and legacy. And, as Jerry would say, 'Let there be songs to fill the air.'" The Dead did a show in support of Obama's 2008 candidacy for President.

That's your problem. once you remove and check to remove all preferences you'll be fine to reinstall.
I need you to be more specific. Generally on mac our Fiery Software Uninstaller takes care of removing all the components.
Can you tell us which OS, what you've tried, what you're seeing, etc?
Have you tried removing the prefs?
I have the same issue as others on this thread. Production employee upgraded to CWS6 without permission and now I cannot uninstall. The uninstall package says it uninstalls, but it just hangs there. I close the window and re-launch package and it has the software there again. I have also rebooted after, still says there is already an updated version of the software on the machine. Can someone lease give me the resolution for uninstalling CWS6 so I can re-install CWS5.8? It's an iMac with Yosemite v. 10.10.5. Please let me know if you need any other information. Thank you in advance.
I have the same issue. Can't install the 5.8 version after deinstall the 6 (On Mac OS 10.13. High Sierra)

Key Facts To Know Before Renting A Searchlight
Promotional searchlights are by far the best way to promote a nighttime event. They provide both distance marketing as well as create an atmosphere of excitement. There are a few things you should be aware of before contacting a searchlight rental company. Below are key facts you should know before renting a searchlight. Below I'll outline the facts as questions and give the answer and then follow up on the correct answer.
1. What type of weather is best for using searchlights?
a). Clear night sky.
b). Partly cloudy sky.
c). Heavy clouds.
The right answer is B. Although searchlights work great in any of the above scenarios, partly cloudy skies are the best and here is why. The lowest clouds form at just over one mile in the sky. Good quality searchlights can produce beams that are over 6 miles long. Partly cloudy conditions are usually formed from cloud types that form lower in the atmosphere. Because the light beam is six miles long, the beams can easily reach the clouds. When the beam hits the clouds it actually lights up the part of the cloud it hits. This causes a really cool affect. You would thing that heavily clouded nights would make this an even cooler affect. It does, but the heavier clouds also disperse the beam a bit more, which slightly detracts from the distance a promotion factor.
2. How far away can the beam of light be seen?
a. 1 mile away.
b. 3 miles away.
c. 25 miles away.
This is a bit of trick question. All three are correct. Any decent searchlight should be able to be seen a minimum of 3 miles away. There is a three mile radius around any event that is critical for promotional purposes. If you rent a searchlight that cannot at a minimum produce a beam viewable 3 miles away, then you have likely wasted your money. You should not expect such results from standard searchlights. On average the light beam produced by a promotional searchlight can be seen from 3 to 12 miles away. And, when the conditions are right they can be seen as far away as 15 miles.
3. How much does it cost rent one promotional searchlight.
a. $100.00 a night.
b. 500.00 a night.
c. $1000.00 a night.
If you chose "b," then you are correct. On average promotional searchlights can cost between $350 and 600 dollars per night. Yes, you can rent them for as little as $100 dollars a night, you get what you pay for. Besides, they are not really searchlights but theatrical spot lights that have been repackaged. If you rent those you will be disappointed. Last, There is one type of searchlight that cost $1000 a night, a refurbished WWII searchlight. It is unlikely that you will need such a big promotional light.
As long as you understand that a decent promotional searchlight can work very well in just about any weather, its beam should be viewable at least 3 miles away and should not cost more than $600 a night, then you are well ahead of the game.
Star Advertising. We hope you have enjoyed reading it. Good luck with your event.How much does it cost to rent a search light?

Dallas hedge-fund mogul James Dondero did a Texas two-step on Thursday in his closely watched divorce trial, The Post has learned.
Dondero, 49, the co-founder and president of the $18 billion asset manager Highland Capital Management, locked in a bitter two-year divorce court battle with his wife, Rebecca, claims the pre-nup should be ripped up because she violated its terms by asking for more than the $5 million maximum pre-nup payout.
Dondero and his lawyers are trying to persuade a Dallas state court jury at a trial this week that his 33-year-old wife, known as Becky, breached the pre-nuptial agreement. A decision is expected Friday.
If the jury agrees with James Dondero, Becky could get nothing.
His lawyers claim once she asked in pre-trial hearings for the pre-nup to be tossed because she wanted more money, that broke the terms of the agreement, sources said.
James Dondero is making an unusual claim, Dallas divorce lawyer Michael Rubin, who is not involved in the case, said.
Usually, partners who try to get a pre-nuptial tossed do so on claims of infidelity, he said.
A jury, Rubin said, may agree with James Dondero on the legalities of Rebecca breaking the pre-nup agreement and still rule in her favor. "They could say that's not fair" for her to walk away with nothing.
"That happens sometimes," Rubin said. Lawyers for the two sides declined comment.

My Comments: It's very easy for financial professionals of all stripes to get into heated arguments about the merits of life insurance. Or the lack of merits, depending on your perspective.
A story I tell is about someone who in all seriousness asked "When is the best time to buy life insurance?". And the answer was "About three months before you die. When would you like for me to come by and take your application?"
Therein lies the crux of the matter. And it is further complicated by the fact that even if I come by and take your application, three months before you die, there is no assurance the insurance company will accept your application and make an offer to insure your life. It only becomes a contract when the legally competent parties to the contract meet all the criteria of a legally binding agreement.
Now add in all the likely variables today, such as your health, your family health history, your age, your ability to pay premiums, the different kinds of life insurance, the tax consequences, your credit history, for how long you want or think you need coverage. All these variable conspire to make a problematical decision process.
But you have to start somewhere. I recently posted an article on Whole Life Insurance; here is another, this time about Term Life Insurance.
Sep 26, 2014 | By Stephan R. Leimberg, Robert J. Doyle Jr., Keith A. Buck
The two principal characteristics of term insurance are: the insured must die for any benefits to be paid and, by definition, the contract expires at the end of the term. Stated more specifically, a term life insurance policy promises to pay a death benefit to a beneficiary only if the insured dies during a specified term.
The contract makes no promise to pay anything if the insured lives beyond the specified term.
Generally, no cash values are payable under a term life insurance contract. If the insured survives the specified term, the contract expires and provides no payment of any kind to the policyowner.
1) When should term life be sold?
In general, some type of life insurance is indicated when a person needs or wants to provide an immediate estate upon his or her death. This need or desire typically stems from one or more of the following reasons:
A. Providing income for dependent family members until they become self-supporting after the head of household dies.
B. Liquidating consumer or business debts, or to create a fund, enabling the surviving family members to do the same when the head of household dies.
C. Providing large amounts of cash at death for children's college expenses or other capital needs.
D. Providing cash for federal estate and state inheritance taxes, funeral expenses, and administration costs.
E. Providing funds for the continuation of a business through a buy-sell agreement.
F. Indemnifying a business for the loss of a key employee.
G. Helping recruit, retain, or retire one or more key employees through a salary continuation plan, and finance the company's obligations to the dependents of a deceased key employee under that plan.
H. Funding bequests of capital to children, grandchildren, or others without the erosion often caused by probate costs, inheritance taxes, income taxes, federal estate taxes, transfer fees, or the generation-skipping tax.
I. Funding charitable bequests.
J. Preserving confidentiality of financial affairs. Life insurance proceeds payable to someone other than the deceased's estate are not part of the probate estate and are not a matter of public record. It is not unusual for a beneficiary to be a lover, illegitimate child, faithful domestic servant, or have some other type of relationship with the insured that he or she may not want to be publicly acknowledged.
K. Assuring nearly instant access to cash for surviving dependents. Life insurance proceeds are generally paid to beneficiaries within days of the claim. There is no delay, as might be the case with other types of assets, because of the intervention of state or other governmental bodies due to settlement of tax issues, or because of claims by the decedent's creditors.
L. Directing family assets to family members in a way that minimizes state, local, and federal taxes.
Generally, term insurance is not the most effective type of life insurance for all of these death benefit needs. However, term insurance may serve the insured's needs in many circumstances. Because term insurance is not just one product, but rather many variations on a general theme different types of term insurance are indicated for different types of needs.
Keep in mind, term insurance, more than any other type of insurance, is pure death protection with little or no ancillary or lifetime benefits. Therefore, the two overriding considerations in the use of term insurance, regardless of the specific application, are:
• Will death protection alone meet the need?
• Will the coverage last as long as the need?
In short, with term — as with any other decision about the appropriate type of coverage — the product must match the problem.

This is a set of buildings I purchased from Old Glory.
The Gun Shop is resin and is listed as the Chinese Laundry, I believe. The others are a foam set that are a single mold.
These are very well made buildings, they are easy and enjoyable to paint, and do not need a lot of prep work.

The World that Jones Made by Philip K Dick (PKD) is a short book running in at only 200 pages, but one of his most entertaining and well-plotted novels full of interesting invention and ideas. Floyd Jones is a man who can see a year into the future which he uses in a quest for power as a quasi-religious figure in a post-apocalyptic world where religion is outlawed as having no base in reality.
The secret service of the incumbent government try all sorts to stop Jones's rise to power, but because he has seen every twist and turn of a year ahead he thwarts all attempts at stopping him, at one point literally dodging a bullet. However, as usual with PKD, there's more than this story going on. We also have the appearance of massive single-celled blobs from outer space causing much disconcertion. Could it be an invasion? What do the blobs want? The population turns to Jones for answers and his call for a crusade could ultimately be his undoing. There are also a group of genetic mutants housed inside a sealed refuge in a mysterious lab with an artificial climate, and a secret service policeman called Cussick whose marriage is on the rocks (PKD writes about broken marital relationships and divorce quite often – a reflection on his own repeatedly troubled home life no doubt) especially when his wife joins Jones's burgeoning cult.
Each element on its own would make an interesting tale (indeed Jones reminds me of Nicholas Cage's character in the film Next) and it is to PKD's credit that he ties all these elements together to deliver a greater whole. At times I thought that perhaps he is telling an allegorical tale, perhaps about communism, but PKD would probably just write about communism up front if he wanted to, not dick ('scuse the pun!) about with metaphors. That said there are elements of this book that mirror the post-911 environment of government propaganda in the US and the willingness of a desperate administration and their followers latching on to the idea of a perhaps misguided crusade. There is also a palpable feeling of despair shared across all the main characters including Jones himself who has foreseen his own death.
Berlin 1961 by Frederick Kempe is perhaps the most interesting, educational and entertaining history book I have ever read. In the past I have tended to lean towards the work of Antony Beevor and Stephen E. Ambrose, both being mainly concerned with WWII. Kempe's book follows these two authors in their constructive techniques – using first-hand accounts from people who were 'on the ground' at the time, recently declassified documents as well as previous texts written by other historians. Kempe was a journalist and this shows through in his delivery of the facts which at times left me sitting in stunned disbelief.
I knew very little about the Cold War and the portioning out of Germany after WWII, Kennedy's administration and even less about Khrushchev for that matter beyond a line in a Queen song. This book takes it up to the Cuban Missile Crisis and even goes some way to discuss that challenge in the light of what happened in Berlin 1961. So what happened? I suggest you read the book, but basically the Berlin Wall was constructed to separate West and East Germany amid a lot of muscle flexing by Khrushchev and the inexperienced JFK who had just suffered an embarrassing loss of face in the failed Bay of Pigs operation to overthrow Castro in Cuba. The events in Berlin culminated in a 'Mexican standoff' between American and Russian tanks at the only remaining border crossing.
Kempe's book reveals much about JFK's character, health, and willingness to use unofficial communication channels to talk to the Russian leader. It paints JFK in an unforgiving light and made me reappraise the image I had of him of the 'last gunfighter' and a hero of democracy. That's not to say that Kempe leans towards the communist cause; I would say his book is quite politically neutral and just lays out the facts in a fascinating and thought-provoking manner.

Building Your New Life in Mexico
Living in Mexico
For a long time Mexico has been one of the top expat destinations for living and retiring abroad, largely thanks to its proximity to North America and low cost of living. In addition to the beaches and great cuisine, Mexico has a lot to offer for those looking to enrich their lives or businesses.
What to Expect
In general, Mexico provides a slower pace of life. The core of the culture lies in family, religion, and heritage. In the smaller cities, there is much less focus on commercialism, unless you're living in the high tourist zones and bigger cities such as Mexico City and Monterrey. However, the benefit of the larger cities is that they offer many of the comforts of home like movie theaters and a happening night life.
If you're considering a move to Mexico, it's advisable to know or start learning Spanish. English is usually spoken in the resort areas and business sectors, but Spanish is necessary to navigate day-to-day life. Naturally, the best way to learn is to immerse yourself locally, rather than sticking to expat hangouts and tourist areas.
Who Moves to Mexico?
People of all walks of life relocate to Mexico; Living abroad from their home country opens up opportunities and experiences that they otherwise wouldn't be able to have.
Families and individuals can find a better quality of life and exposure to a new culture and language. For those moving from North America, Mexico is only a short and inexpensive plane ride away from "home".
Retirees are drawn to the warm climate of Mexico, which allows for year-around outdoor activities. Plus, with the reduced cost of living compared to North America, retirees can often live comfortably on their savings or pensions.
More and more businesses are moving their facilities to Mexico, especially if they regularly work in North America, Central America, or South America. Japanese, North American, and European companies are especially prevalent. Mexico's central location, progressive inter-country pacts, and low cost of labor make it an ideal country for conducting business, particularly for the manufacturing industry.
How Easy is it to Live in Mexico?
Obtaining a visa or residency in Mexico varies depending on what you need. Upon entry to the country, most nationalities receive a 180 day travel visa. To stay longer but not necessarily permanently, you'll need to apply for the Forma Migratoria 3 (FM3), which basically acts as a renewable visa. Full residency can be acquired once you have successfully held a Forma Migratoria 2 for five years.
