text: When I was younger I use to go to GAA matches all the time with my Dad and it was literally one of the highlights of my summer each year. As time moved on though I drifted away from the game more and more. It hasn't been until recently that I've actually taken an interest again. That probably comes down to who I am surrounding myself with and the success of my home team though. I've even found myself wearing guys jeans for the first time in years. Shocker. I don't know, maybe I am having a low key identity crisis?

Or future?
WITH COUNCIL ELECTIONS ONLY WEEKS AWAY...it is good to remember just how badly Christchurch has done public transport planning over the last 15 years and why we need real new commitment to quality public transport.
(This posting first appeared in January 2012 - some things slightly outdated, but the essence remains)
Has anyone noticed something rather strange. The road on Barrington Street under the over-bridge on the new southern motorway extension has no room for bus lanes.
This is a piece of infrastructure built for decades to come, even for the day when the city may have a million people. It would seem common sense to have added an extra couple of metres each side combining with the cycle lanes to ensure buses [or even possibly] light rail trams always had guaranteed free flow access.
However we don't have to look ahead fifty or one hundred years to see how lacking in vision the current council leadership as the key local stakeholder that could have pushed NZ Transport Agency to add provision for bus lanes.
Barrington Street to Riccarton Road (via various name changes - Barrington Street, Whiteleigh Avenue, Clarence Street) is one of the busiest stretches of road in the city and very slow and congested in peak hours already - and was so well before the earthquakes!
I say "already" because to the current congestion mix add the completion of around 6000 workspaces and this just in four office parks alone*, let alone all the other work spaces likely to be developed in the vast semi- derelict area around Woods Mill.
On the typical current peak hour loadings of 1.25 commuters per car another 4,800 cars to this area at peak time on business days [the mind boggles];
add the completion of the southern motorway which will doubtless bring thousands more into this area from southern and south-west suburbs via the Barrington Street off ramps, seeking to access Addington, Riccarton etc;
add the planned removal of one way streets in the central city which also likely to greatly increase traffic use of adjacent roads that skirt the central city [as the red zone closure has clearly revealed] ;
add a further cherry on this glutinous cake mix - conversion of Rugby League Park into a major sports zone, the "new Lancaster Park", which along with the existing 8000 seat CBS sports/concert/expo stadium and the Metropolitan Racetrack will guarantee thousands of cars also in the evenings and weekends.
I say "already" as well, because although Barrington Street at this point is only currently used by one bus route, The Orbiter, by any standards it is a very successful bus route, with 12 buses an hour travelling along this stretch of Road, Barrington Mall to Riccarton Road (or vice versa).
According to a 2009 report, when Christchurch buses were recording over 17 million passengers a year, The Orbiter was carrying 12% of all passenger trips, which means around two million passenger trips per annum. This is with only minimal infrastructure support - in our carelessly run city without lanes, traffic signal priority, proper bus transfer stations or integrated stops with other services and schedules - the sort of structure greatly boosting bus use and bus status overseas. This suggests 3 million passenger trips a year could be an achievable goal with better land use and council support and better scheduling off peak.
Even so, two million passenger trips per annum is about one sixth the the total annual patronage on the Wellington commuter rail network, which carries around 12 million passenger trips a year.
Or it is about one fifth of the rapidly growing but hugely funded Auckland commuter rail system
As a professional organisation led by our most generously paid and equally professional CEO Tony Marryat will be fully aware from monitoring overseas trends, technology, funding availability etc in other cities (to ensure we get the best possible transport system and comparable benefits pro rata from central Government) almost $600 million has been spent on the Wellington rail network and commuter system in the last decade and well over a billion in Auckland.
It appals me that it appears to be beyond the capacity of our council to have levered up an extra couple of million in the NZTA $246 million motorway extensions to give a very successful bus route the same sort of infrastructure support that rail gets.
Apparently the council leadership is unaware (but professionally unaware, that's what we pay for!) of the worldwide trend to give bus services the sort of infrastructure support once only enjoyed by rail. Cities all over the world [including Auckland] are building bus lanes (many permanent and curbed from other traffic etc), segregated cut throughs, shoulder lane bus corridors, on-street and entirely segegated busways, under passes, overpasses, bus trenches and tunnels, and in some cases high speed guided busways.
Well yes we do have bus lanes, part part way being painted on some roads and even The Orbiter route is to get some long overdue council support in the way of lanes or signal priority in a 2013 review. This said the 23 year project (1996 - 2019!!) to introduce a mere nine painted bus lane corridors of the lower order technical standards would be judged by some to be rather less than dynamic progress!! Many residents will die of old age long before the part route bus lanes - slightly - speed their journey.
So presumably the same council planners must have been fully aware the bottleneck planned for Barrington Street would cut directly into bus lane potential and either ignored this or got knocked by those up stairs, possibly those busy building light rail dreams.
So let's forget any earthquake excuses for being late for school. This motorway project was planned years ago, funding for these bus lanes was probably there for the asking when first planned in the Helen Clarke Labour Government era.
Also planned years ago - the strategic mass transit plans of Auckland (mid 1990s) and Wellington (early 2000s) that have shaped the extension and upgrading of the commuter rail and busway and bus systems in these two cities over the last decade. And - wait for it - won hundreds of millions in tax payer finding (I estimate pro rata over $250 million from Canterbury taxpayers!)
Auckland continues to reap the benefit of (belated) visionary public transport planning with record growth in public transport use and Santa dropped another hundred million in presents in the Auckland bag just before Christmas, according to this Transport Auckland press release.
Auckland is a city three and a half times the population of Christchurch, so it is only fair that it gets about 30 times the funding per capita for public transport projects than Christchurch. Yeah right, good thinking!
I think it is time this city got real. Not only will Barrington Street - Whiteleigh Avenue need to be four or even six laned (probably with minimal on street parking in bays) but it needs full time exclusive bus lanes, guaranteeing whatever the time of day, peak hours or evening show crowds, buses deliver on time every time.
And the sooner the better seeing the way new apartment buildings and motels built to boundary are squandering hope for our future!
We accept hundreds of kilometres of footpath sit empty most of the time - what is such a big deal with having full time bus lanes, also empty much of the time (sign of a succesful bus lane if you can't see a bus!) but always there when needed. Is it so much to ask a few kilometres that have the status of being for buses only. why must we degrade buses to the back of the queue.
To my mind there is very little point running in running our current, randomly co-ordinated, largely 50 year old style bus system that costs $68 million dollars a year (half from fares) to deliver poor results and attracts very small portion of the population, even compared to similar size cities elsewhere.
We must start giving buses the infrastructure support to have consistent free-way - same running time every hour - notably with on-street or segregated bus rapid transit corridors.
* According to a report in the business pages of The Press August 5 2008, "Addington Building Boom", planned projects allowed for ultimately 1500 at jobs at Hazeldean Business Park; 1500 jobs at Show Place; and WorkStation55 (Princess Street) capacity 2000 workers. Several other developments were listed (to five storeys and obviously hundreds of workspaces) but precise worker capacity not quoted. Note- The full text of this article appears to be now available on line only at ProQuest ANZ
** The highly congested Whiteleigh Avenue stretch is also served by the new 40 Middleton bus route.

There was a time in North Texas when buying real estate was pretty much cut and dried and on the level. Ironically, it is what is happening below the surface that is giving headaches to all parties involved in a real estate transaction. This is mainly because of mineral rights disputes, which elevates a domestic issue (buying a home) to commercial litigation over who owns who.
To understand why commercial litigation comes into the picture, it is necessary to understand the impact of the natural gas found in Barnett Shale, both in economic and real estate law terms. It will also explain why homeowners are now practicing rigorous due diligence when tracing the ownership of property they are considering buying.
Barnett Shale is the site of what is considered the largest reservoir of onshore natural gas in the US and is located under Fort Worth, Texas. The location of Barnett Shale, which is in urban areas such as Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, has necessitated the negotiating of mineral rights with landowners. It is possible for drilling operations to be done with minimum damage to the surface area (although not always), and the landowners are paid for the lease of the land as well as royalty for whatever a particular well produces. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, not really.
Mineral rights are not necessarily tied in with surface land ownership. This means that it is entirely possible for a parcel of land to have two owners: the surface land owner and the mineral rights owner. Prior to Barnett Shale, very little notice was given to tracing the ownership of mineral rights, which were often severed from the surface land title and not included when the surface land changed ownership. This can lead to mineral rights disputes. For example, let us say a surface land owner agrees to rent out the mineral rights to a mining company, presuming ownership of the mineral rights. And then the actual owner of the mineral rights disputes the contract. This can lead to a pretty heated commercial litigation, especially if the area turns out to be lucrative.
This state of affairs is by no means limited to North Texas, Barnett Shale or natural gas. Many parts of Texas have yielded commercially-viable deposits of coal, oil and other fuel sources, and have become the focus of mineral rights disputes.Read More

Taitlands Wedding Photography Yorkshire
Laura + Ian chose Taitlands in Settle, North Yorkshire to host their wedding celebration. With a choice of two beautifully kept rooms for the ceremony, a lavish bridal suite and room for some guests; and with magnificent views across Ribblesdale from the walled country cottage garden, this venue really does offer everything you might be looking for in a quaint English cottage to host your wedding day. The main house has a grand old manor feel about it with columns and some small steps leading upto its entrance and has a long sweeping drive way that passes a meadow of wild flowers as you arrive. The weather on the day also held out, despite the odd grey cloud and threat of rain, and this allowed the reception to take place in the gardens, which are also more than ample in size to play a game of cricket as these guys did.
I started the day photographing Laura and her bridesmaids as they had stayed the night before. Ian arrived around an hour before the ceremony and this allowed me to meet up with him and the groomsmen as they they helped him to calm his nerves with a beer to two and a wander around the grounds. The house is bathed in beautiful lights that bleeds in through its many windows and this provides exciting opportunities as a photographer to capture some striking images. After an intimate ceremony the reception was relaxed and informal before the meal was served. The food at this wedding was all locally sourced and the main course of beef still stands in my memory as one of the tastiest meals Ive ever had. The only pang of guilt you may experience is seeing your meals siblings in the field next door.
Here is a small selection of images from Laura + Ians wedding day that demonstrate the relaxed documentary approach to creating my wedding photography.

Every major pop-culture event is immediately seized by the Left and used for political purposes these days, so of course the biggest such event in recent memory – and maybe of all time, if those staggering advance ticket sales are any indication – gets politicized to Naboo and back.
A strong contender for dumbest "Star Wars" story is MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry sobbing over the crypto-racist messages she distilled from the central character of the saga. "I could spend the whole day talking about the whole Darth Vader situation," she wailed. "Yeah, like, the part where he was totally a black guy whose name basically was James Earl Jones, who, and we were all, but while he was black, he was terrible and bad and awful and used to cut off white men's hands, and didn't, you know, actually claim his son. But as soon as he claims his son and goes over to the good, he takes off his mask and he is white."
Now, the reader – and the reader's young children, if you have any – might be flummoxed by the apparent idiocy of this rant, based on the widespread knowledge that Anakin Skywalker, his secret wife Padme Amidala, and their children Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa are all whiter than the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
The suit of armor Anakin eventually dons was colored black, and his electronically distorted voice was rendered by the black actor James Earl Jones, in what many consider to be the greatest vocal performance in cinema history. (Is there really a serious contender?) There was never the slightest implication Darth Vader was a black guy under that armor, or that the character's name was "basically James Earl Jones."
Furthermore, it apparently escaped Harris-Perry that everything else in the evil Empire, aside from Darth Vader and his fellow Sith Lords, is white. Their troops wear white armor, their ships are spotless white, and their military and political leadership talks like the cast of Downton Abbey. The production designers use whiteness as code for joyless conformity and the elimination of individuality. They use white British actors as shorthand for imperialism, and because they wanted the bad guys to sound like snobs.
But this is how the weaponized idiocy of political correctness works. ("Weaponized" is exactly the right word, not only because P.C. uses mob tactics to enforce its totalitarian agenda upon others, but because it has unquestionably gotten innocent people killed, most recently in San Bernardino.) The core belief of the Social Justice Warrior is that hidden intentions matter more than explicit words and images, and they alone have the power to divine those hidden intentions. It doesn't matter what the creators of Star Wars, from guru George Lucas to the costume designers, were trying to say. It matters what someone with a black belt in weaponized idiocy decides they "really meant," or what messages people as damaged as herself might extract from their artwork, decades later.
Liberals love to make cutesy-poo inferences portraying Islamist fundamentalists as "conservative," and linking them to mainstream conservative thought in the Western world, but the kind of crap Harris-Perry is shoveling is exactly, precisely the same as the logic employed by the Taliban and Islamic State when they destroy historical sites and vandalize works of art they deem insufficiently Muslim. They're not interested in context or intent – they care only about the contemporary faithful getting the wrong ideas by looking at forbidden artwork.
P.C. does the same thing by insinuating its toxic agenda into every nook and cranny of popular culture, and demanding the obliteration of everything that can't be adapted to serve their purposes. They'll stop at nothing to make every popular event into a "teachable moment." That's how we ended up with T.V. hosts who are not only illiterate in history, economics, science, and American civics, but even illiterate in Star Wars, for crying out loud.
Runner-up for dumbest politicized Star Wars news item is the George Junior High School in Rosenberg, Texas, which forced seventh-grader Colton Southern to cover up his Star Wars: The Force Awakens T-shirt because it depicted an Imperial Storm Trooper holding a blaster rifle. This violated the new politically-correct piety against glamorizing "violence," by which they mean guns. Young Colton was lucky to get off with an order to zip up his jacket to cover the offending thoughtcrime image; school administrators told KTRK News he could have been slapped with an in-school suspension.
"It's political correctness run amok. You're talking about a Star Wars t-shirt, a week before the biggest movie of the year comes out. It has nothing to do with guns or making a stand. It's just a Star Wars shirt," fumed Colton's father Joe Southern, who noted his son has worn the same shirt to school several times in the past, without any problems.
Joe went on to insist his son is no threat to anyone – "He's a Boy Scout, active in church, volunteers at Brazos Bend State Park. There's not a violent bone in his body. He's just an excited kid for the movie" – and that the weapon pictured on his T-shirt does not, in fact, exist in the real world.
In other words, he's already on trial, and mounting a defense against the slippery slope that leads to school shootings. The Left has made great progress in its Nation of Criminals agenda, in which decent law-abiding folk are taught to see themselves as either the perpetrators or victims of crime, with nothing in between. Liberals put more effort in teaching this lesson than anything else in school. We have all become defendants awaiting our turn in politically-correct court, where most of what we say will be promptly ruled out of order.
It's also pointless to argue that blaster rifles, lightsabers, or anything else in the Star Wars armory isn't real, because the Left is all about symbolism. They fervently believe in using symbols to control thought, whether it's using sci-fi weapons as stand-ins for "assault rifles," or Darth Vader as a symbol of white supremacism. With sufficiently foolish and determined people wielding the hammers, any idea can be beaten into any shape… or beaten into oblivion.
The liberals of the Sixties loved to tell each other ideas cannot be killed, but their thought leaders never actually believed it – they were inspired by the success of fellow-traveling totalitarians at purging ideas from their cultures, and couldn't wait to bring the same tactics to bear on the Western world. The Social Justice Warrior fringe devoutly believes it can kill ideas.
The endgame is a culture without any common reference points except those directly controlled by the collectivist Left, a nation with no communication except what they approve, with a populace terrorized out of casual, unregulated speech. Star Wars is one of the few universal cultural touchstones of the past few generations, so of course it will come under attack.
Its creators wanted to tell a simple and clear story of good versus evil in the landmark original film, followed by the fearsome peril and uncertainty of the even better sequel, and finally the redemptive triumph of the finale. They began working in a time of moral confusion and pessimism, making their marvelous concoction of fairy tale, pirate movie, science fiction, and World War II epic a breath of fresh air amid Carter-era malaise.
The Left has an obvious solution, on the eve of Star Wars' return: make fresh air illegal, and malaise mandatory. May the Stupid be with you.

I've seen a lot of people having issues with integrated Intel video chipsets. I though I'd share my success story (well, mostly success. There is one minor problem addressed at the bottom of this how-to). I successfully ran Xorg on an integrated i915 chipset, but I believe this will work for any i810 or higher video chipset since I'm using the i810 driver.
In my case, the specific problem I was dealing with is that the Hoary installer gave me the vesa driver, which is servicable, but not great. After running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and manually selecting the i810 driver, my LCD monitor would fail to accept the requested video mode unless I commented out the horiz and vert refresh lines in my xorg monitor config, then it would force me to use 640x480. This is apparently because a faulty video bios that doesn't report valid video modes. Thus, I needed to use a program called 855resolution to force a better video mode. This how-to walks you through the process of installing and configuring 855resolution, then changing your xorg.conf file to start with the i810 driver.
Let's go...
- run 'wget http://ftp.psn.ru/debian/pool/main/8/855resolution/855resolution_0.3-4_i386.deb'
- run 'dpkg -i 855resolution_0.3-4_i386.deb'
- run 'sudo gedit /etc/default/855resolution'
- add config from modes list
Mode 30 : 640x480, 8 bits/pixel
Mode 32 : 800x600, 8 bits/pixel
Mode 34 : 1024x768, 8 bits/pixel
Mode 38 : 1280x1024, 8 bits/pixel
Mode 3a : 1600x1200, 8 bits/pixel
Mode 3c : 1400x1050, 8 bits/pixel
Mode 41 : 640x480, 16 bits/pixel
Mode 43 : 800x600, 16 bits/pixel
Mode 45 : 1024x768, 16 bits/pixel
Mode 49 : 1280x1024, 16 bits/pixel
Mode 4b : 1600x1200, 16 bits/pixel
Mode 4d : 1400x1050, 16 bits/pixel
Mode 50 : 640x480, 32 bits/pixel
Mode 52 : 800x600, 32 bits/pixel
Mode 54 : 1024x768, 32 bits/pixel
Mode 58 : 1280x1024, 32 bits/pixel
Mode 5a : 1600x1200, 32 bits/pixel
Mode 5c : 1400x1050, 32 bits/pixel
eg. (you need 3 lines in the file)
(look in /usr/share/doc/855resolution/README.Debian for more configuration information if you want)
- run 'sudo /etc/init.d/855resolution start' (should provide feedback that the patch is complete)
- run 'sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
- In gedit, change your video driver to i810 (Driver "i810") in your device section. It is probably set to vesa by default.
- Restart X by pressing ctrl-alt-backspace or rebooting your computer.
- If X won't start after doing this you can go into command prompt mode from the Grub menu (recovery mode) and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change your driver back to what it was (probably vesa)
- Note: on my system there is a problem where X initially starts in an invalid mode and my LCD won't display it. I switch to another terminal (ctrl-alt-F1) and then switch back to X (alt-F7) and then it works. I believe this is a refresh rate problem. I will update this how-to with a solution when I find it.

Berlin: India on Tuesday thanked Germany for backing its membership bid in the Nuclear Suppliers Group as the two countries supported each other's candidature for a permanent seat in a reformed UN Security Council.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed their commitment to "strengthen global non- proliferation efforts," said a Joint Statement issued after their meeting in Berlin.
"Germany welcomed India's accession to the Missile Technology Control Regime. Germany also welcomed India's intensified engagement with the other export control regimes - the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), Australia Group and the Wassenaar Arrangement - and expressed its support for India's early accession to these regimes," the statement said.
China is the only major country which has been blocking India's entry into the 48-member Nuclear Suppliers Group.
China is advocating a two-step "non-discriminatory" approach for admission of countries who have not signed nuclear-Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in the NSG.
The joint statement said both India and Germany extended "their full support to each other's candidature for a permanent seat in a reformed and expanded UN Security Council."
It said both leaders reaffirmed the urgent need for a comprehensive reform of the UN Security Council to make it more effective, efficient and responsive to the existing challenges to international peace and security.
They "commended the steadfast efforts of the G-4 and other reform oriented countries and groups in moving forward the discussions towards initiation of text-based negotiations on the Security Council reform agenda at the ongoing Inter-governmental Negotiations (IGN) at the UN," it added.
The G4 nations comprising Brazil, Germany, India, and Japan are four countries which support each other's bids for permanent seats on the United Nations.
The statement said both sides underlined the importance of freedom of navigation in international waters, the right of passage and other maritime rights in accordance with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and other principles of international law, referring to the South China Sea dispute.
China claims almost all of the resource-rich South China Sea (SCS), including islands more than 800 miles from the Chinese mainland, despite objections from neighbours such as the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Vietnam.
India along with the US and many other countries have been vocal about freedom of navigation in the area as foreign trade worth over a trillion dollar move through the SCS.
China in the past has opposed India taking part in the oil exploration in the SCS at the invitation of Vietnam.
PM Modi and Angela Merkel also attached particular importance to security, stability, connectivity and sustainable development of the blue economy in the Indian Ocean Region.
India and Germany emphasised their commitment to a stable, united, prosperous, pluralistic and peaceful Afghanistan, the statement said.
They supported a comprehensive and inclusive Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace and reconciliation process that leads to the renunciation of violence and breaking of all ties to international terrorism and the respect for the Afghan Constitution including its human rights provisions, it said.
The two sides also expressed their interest in exploring the possibilities to cooperate in their assistance to African countries. They called for a process by which concrete synergies in areas such as capacity building, vocational training, connectivity and renewable energy will be set up.
"They encouraged their respective businesses to explore collaborative activities to promote trade and development in Africa," the statement added.

AREND BOUHUYS, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.P.; EUGENIJA ZUSKIN, M.D., D.SC.
Many soft-hemp workers with more than 20 years' exposure to dust have chronic respiratory symptoms and obstructive lung function loss. During 7 years of follow-up, these workers had significantly higher occurrences of chronic cough and phlegm and of dyspnea than control subjects and a significantly larger annual decline of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1.0) than control subjects, with a particularly marked difference between 20- to 44-year-old nonsmoking controls and hemp workers. We believe that deterioration of lung function among hemp workers begins before the age of 45 and that it continues even if further exposure to dust ceases. Textile workers should be advised to avoid further exposure to dust at a time when their ventilatory lung function (in the absence of effects of acute exposure) is sufficient to prevent future development of disabling function loss.

Thank you so much!

Man Booker prize 2013: The longlist in pictures
It's that time of year again. British literati come together to read, discuss, review, praise/lambast the candidates for the Man Booker Prize. I've followed these for a very long time and try to always read the winners – sometimes even the finalists.
Established in 1969 as just the "Booker Prize", it awards the prize each year to "any full-length novel written by a citizen of the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland and published in the United Kingdom for the first time in the year of the prize. The novel must be an original work in English (not a translation) and must not be self-published." The Prize itself is £50,000. Oh, and the "Man" part in the title was added later – it stands for the organization, Man Group plc, that has sponsored the Booker Prize for quite some time now.
The judges are chosen by the Booker Advisory Committee and tend to be related to the book world, but not necessarily critics, authors or academics themselves. So, they can be poets, actors, broadcasters, politicians, journalists, etc. For example, last year, Dan Stevens of Downton Abbey fame was a judge (he also happens to be a bit of a writer). That said, this year's judges appear to be mostly writers, academics and journalists. Hmm. Wish they'd really get someone to shake things up a bit.
The Prize has had its share of drama and controversies through the decades, of course. Let's see what this year brings.
The key 2013 prize dates:
23 July 2013 – Longlist announcement
10 September 2013 – Shortlist announcement
15 October 2013 – Winner announcement
Stay tuned. Oh, and here's a page to explore past winners, longlists, shortlists, finalists, etc. How many have you read?

John Studzinski CBE
John Studzinski's views on philanthropy
"Your best asset is your philanthropy, so don't forget it."
"Give is a funny word, I prefer the word share. Philanthropy is about sharing time, talent and money."
"You have to develop philanthropy with people you trust and like and respect"
"Art is the cornerstone of all civilisations, from transforming lives to building confidence and self-esteem to creating employment."
"I love the old Puritan saying that's also quoted on Melville's tomb: you have what you gave; you had what you spent; you lost what you kept."
"It's unthinkable for me not to give, it would be like cutting off a leg. It gives me an enormous amount of pleasure to support other people's sense of dignity and their confidence in their artistic talent, to follow the narrative of what artists do."
"The cornerstone of culture is not about entertainment or particular performances but nurturing culture, education and creating a cultural legacy."
"The arts are not about entertainment. We don't just record something to entertain people. I'm more interested in commissioning sacred music and sacred art because [they make] a broader statement about our time. Music is a powerful vehicle and a sign we're shifting from an age of materialism to an age of spirituality."
"Everyone should give at whatever level they can afford. It's good for you as it's like paying dues for enjoying our culture, but you also learn a huge amount and you get a huge amount more than you give as you learn so much about your own values. Giving enhances your inner sense of self-worth as we all need constantly to access what our role is in life. It all creates a life well-spent."
"For me, the key to philanthropy is the three T's: time, talent and treasure. So much of philanthropy is thought of in terms of treasure, i.e. money, but the real success of Genesis is embracing talent, nurturing that talent, working as a team with our partners and creating a network that continually supports every artist the foundation has worked with."
"I believe that if you impact one person that has a domino effect on others as that one person influences more people, who in turn influence others. The Genesis Foundation has supported over 1,000 artists from many genres and backgrounds who've gone on to have careers and impact on many further thousands of artists."
"The nurturing, mentoring and creation of networks for young artists was a specific goal when the Foundation was formed in 2001, since which time it has devoted more than £10m to opening opportunities to exceptional young artists from diverse backgrounds, setting them firmly on the path to fulfilling their creative and professional potential."
John Studzinski CBE is Founder and Chairman of the Genesis Foundation, a UK-based charitable foundation that nurtures the careers of outstanding young artists. In October 2017, John Studzinski was awarded the UK Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award for the Genesis Foundation's work in nurturing excellence among young artists.
Studzinski is a Non-Executive Director of the Home Office (UK), Chair of the U.K. Prime Minister's Business Against Modern Slavery initiative and has received the Beacon Prize for Philanthropy, the Prince of Wales Medal for Arts Philanthropy and the Prince of Wales Ambassador Award for his work with the homeless.
Mr Studzinski is Chairman of Create London and serves on the U.S. boards of The J. Paul Getty Trust, Scholars at Risk, Tate Americas Foundation, Signature Theatre and the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies.
He is Vice-Chair Emeritus of Human Rights Watch and is Co-founder and Chair of the Arise Foundation, which partners with local networks internationally to stop human trafficking. Mr Studzinski is also a member of The Atlantic Council, The Council on Foreign Relations and The Peterson Institute.
Mr Studzinski holds the Papal honours of Knight of the Order of St. Gregory and Knight Commander of Saint Sylvester.
In 2007 Mr Studzinski was voted Banker of the Year by The Bank of England. In 2008, the Queen's New Year's Honours List named him Commander of the British Empire (CBE) for services to the Arts and Charity.
The Catholic Herald named John Studzinski 'Catholic of the Year' in December 2017, praising him for "his outstanding but discreet efforts to combat modern slavery, encourage greater appreciation for spirituality and inspire a Catholic artistic revival."
Mr Studzinski is Managing Director and Vice Chairman of PIMCO in its Executive Office, where he serves as a key strategic advisor to many of PIMCO's top clients around the world. These include public and private pension funds, corporations, sovereign wealth funds, single-family offices, governments, foundations and many others.
Prior to joining PIMCO, Mr Studzinski was Vice Chairman, Investor Relations and Business Development and Senior Managing Director of Blackstone Group, overseeing sovereign and institutional investor relationships and advising large, influential pools of family capital on investment strategy. He also served as Head of European Investment Banking at Morgan Stanley and Deputy Chairman of Morgan Stanley International and was instrumental in HSBC Group's buildout of its investment banking division, where he was also on the bank's Group Management Board.

Excerpt: Bush On The Couch
about George
about George
If one of my patients frequently said one thing and did another, I would want to know why. If I found that he often used words that hid their true meaning and affected a persona that obscured the nature of his actions, I would grow more concerned. If he presented an inflexible worldview characterized by an oversimplified distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, allies and enemies, I would question his ability to grasp reality. And if his actions revealed an unacknowledged — even sadistic — indifference to human suffering, wrapped in pious claims of compassion, I would worry about the safety of the people whose lives he touched.
For the past three years, I have observed with increasing alarm the inconsistencies and denials of such an individual. But he is not one of my patients. He is our president.
George W. Bush is a case study in contradiction. All of us have witnessed the affable good humor with which he charms both supporters and detractors; even those of us who disagree with his policies may find him personally likeable. As time goes on, however, the gulf between his personality and those policies — and the style with which they are executed — grows ever wider, raising serious questions about his behavior:
- How can someone so friendly and playful be the same person who cuts funds from government programs aiding the poor and hungry?
- How is it that our deeply religious president feels free to bomb Iraq — and then celebrate the results with open expressions of joy?
- How can a president send American soldiers into combat under false pretenses and then proceed to joke about the deception, finding humor in the absence of weapons of mass destruction under his Oval Office desk?
- How can someone promise to protect the environment on the one hand and allow increased arsenic in the public water supply on the other? And why does he feel he can call his plan to lift logging restrictions in national forests the "Healthy" Forest Initiative?
- If the president's interpersonal skills are strong enough to earn him the reputation of being a "people person," why is he so unwilling and even unable to talk to world leaders, such as Jacques Chirac or Gerhard Schroeder, who disagree with him?
- How can the president sound so confused and yet act so decisively? And given the regularity with which he confuses fact with fantasy, how can he justify decisions based largely on his own personal suspicions with such unwavering certainty?
As a citizen, I worry about what these contradictions and inconsistencies say about the president's ability to govern; as a psychoanalyst, I'm troubled by their implications for the president's current and long-term mental health, particularly in light of certain information we know about his past. Naturally, the occasional misstatement or discrepancy between word and deed may be dismissed as politics as usual. But when the most powerful man on the planet consistently exhibits an array of multiple, serious, and untreated symptoms — any one of which I've seen patients need years to work through — it's certainly cause for further investigation, if not for outright alarm.
President Bush is not my patient, of course, but the discipline of applied psychoanalysis gives us a way to make as much sense of his psyche as he is likely ever to allow. At its simplest level, applied psychoanalysis means the application of psychoanalytic principles to anybody outside one's own consulting room. The tradition of psychoanalyzing public figures dates back almost as far as psychoanalysis itself; Freud based some of his most important theories on his observations of individuals he could never get onto his couch, Moses and Leonardo da Vinci most notable among them.
Indeed, if Freud were alive in the second half of the twentieth century, he might well have been recruited to offer his genius in the service of the U.S. intelligence effort. Somewhere in the bowels of the George H. W. Bush Center for Central Intelligence in Langley, Virginia, psychoanalysts are currently reviewing audio recordings, videotapes, and biographical information on dozens of contemporary world leaders, using the principles of applied psychoanalysis to develop detailed profiles for use by the CIA and the U.S. government and military. According to political psychiatrist Jerrold M. Post, M.D., who has chronicled the history of "at-a-distance leader personality assessment in support of policy," the marriage of psychoanalysis and U.S. intelligence dates back to the early 1940s, when the Office of Strategic Services commissioned two studies of Adolf Hitler. The effort was regarded as enough of a success that it was institutionalized in the 1960s, Post writes, first under the aegis of the Psychiatric Staff of the CIA's Office of Medical Services, which "led to the establishment of the Center for the Analysis of Personality and Political Behavior" (CAPPB), which Post founded within the Directorate of Intelligence.
As Post reveals, CIA psychological profiles of Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin played an important role in Jimmy Carter's handling of the 1978 Camp David negotiations. And applied psychoanaly-sis continues to enjoy a privileged place in the intelligence universe.
"At the time of his confirmation hearings, Secretary of the Defense Donald Rumsfeld identified as his nightmare [the possibility of] not understanding the intentions of dangerous adversaries," Post writes. "Accentuated by some of the recent intelligence surprises,' the need to have a robust applied political psychology capability has been highlighted and increased resources are currently being applied to human intelligence and to the study of the personality and political behavior of foreign leaders, both national leaders and terrorists."
A vote of confidence from today's CIA, of course, might be described as a mixed blessing. Nevertheless, applied psychoanalysis remains a vital tool for understanding political leaders. And since one can scarcely imagine Bush Center resources being committed to a Bush son's psychological profile, this must be an independent inquiry, albeit one that is informed by the CAPPB goal as articulated by its founder, Jerrold M. Post: "to understand shaping events that influenced core attitudes, political personality, leadership and political behavior."Continues...

News Limited suffered declines as well but much lighter, losing 7.3% for the Sunday Telegraph, 6.4% for the Daily Telegraph on Saturday and 4.5% during the week.
However, Fairfax's online audience has increased.
The number of total smh.com.au readers has increased year-on-year from 2.269 million to 2.274 million. Readers of thetelegraph.com.au have dropped slightly from 991,000 to 948,000.

Other highs include the business, financial and attire category which is up 11.3% and music and movies up 10.1% (driven by the growth of Empire up 34.1%).

In the women's category Women's Weekly was the biggest loser shedding 14.5% with New Idea the biggest riser, up 9.9%.

Donna Hay and Recipes+ were the stars of the upwardly trending food and entertainment category, rising 9.6% and 7.1% respectively.
Among the men's mags GQ was the biggest riser, growing a huge 57.8%. Men's Fitness was up 17.1% with Men's Health up 15.4%. The dubious title of biggest loser was a tight competition between Picture and Men's Style, down 34% and 35.5% respectively.

The Third Annual Maddy Keynote event took place in Paris yesterday and Cosmo Tech's VP Marketing Dylan Kissane was on hand to learn, share, network, and talk Augmented Intelligence. Always a highlight on the marketing, communications, and technology calendar in France, this year's event was particularly relevant for Cosmo Tech as participants and speakers engaged around the topic of the City of the Future.
"Maddy Keynote is a special event where every type of business, from startup to multinational, can exchange on the variety of ways in which digital technologies are transforming the way that commerce is done," said Kissane. "At the same time, marketers and communication professionals are present to discuss and debate how best to translate this transformation for clients and the wider public. It's a space for sharing new ideas, but also for learning from leaders in the field and adopting best practices from others in the French Tech community."
Among the invited guests at Maddy Keynote's third edition were key actors in the European critical infrastructure space keen to explore the ideas surrounding the City of the Future. Among these industry leaders were Cosmo Tech clients EDF and SNCF, as well as mass-transit leader RATP and wireless technology standout Orange Labs.
"Listening to leading voices in the critical infrastructure space speak about the challenges they are facing, the technologies they are embracing to meet those challenges, and the ways in which innovative actors like Cosmo Tech are contributing their transformation was very encouraging," said Kissane. "It's clear that industry is open to the idea of innovating with the aid of startups and the technology sector, and that their digital transformation is tied to their engagement with companies just like Cosmo Tech."

Benefits of Solar Energy
Why Go Solar?
Because sunlight is abundant and inexhaustible, solar energy is a valuable renewable energy source that, when used in place of traditional fossil fuels, can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as stimulate the economy.
By investing in a solar system, you can harness the sun's energy to help power your home and may even be able to sell excess energy back to the grid. Solar is not an option for everyone, but if you own a home it's easy and risk-free to determine if solar can be an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for your energy needs.
Environmentally Friendly
- 100% Pollution-Free—solar is one of the cleanest sources of energy because it does not emit any pollution when it is produced or consumed. Using solar energy can help avoid carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with conventional fossil fuel electricity generation.
- Renewable Resource—solar is an inexhaustible resource with endless possibilities. The amount of energy from the sun that falls to the earth in one day could supply the entire world's energy needs for 27 years!1
- Financial Return— a solar energy system can instantly reduce your electric bill and provide a long-term fixed energy rate for the life of your system (20-25 years) – that means cost savings now and protection against unpredictable electric prices in the future.
- In addition, federal tax incentives, various rebate opportunities and decreasing equipment costs make this a great time to invest in solar!
- Plus, solar panels can increase your home's resale value. One study found that solar systems added on average $5.50 per watt to a home's value above the cost of a comparable, non-solar home.2
- Energy Independence—producing more renewable energy at home helps secure America's energy future
- Job Growth—greater demand for solar creates employment opportunities in the green job sector, helping to stimulate our economy
How does it work?
How Does a Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System Work?
A solar PV system is a set of connected solar panels, or PV modules, that generate direct current (DC) electricity by absorbing energy directly from the sun.
Is it that simple? Almost! While these systems generate DC electricity, all of your household appliances use alternating current (AC) electricity. Therefore, the DC electricity from the panels must go into an inverter to convert it into AC electricity. Now it can be used by your house or goes back to the electric grid.
There are many factors that affect the productivity of your solar PV system, such as:
- The direction your panels are facing
- The angle of the panels
- Your home's location
- Shading

How much would this lower my electricity bill?
If your property is a good candidate for solar, the next thing to consider is whether it is a good investment. Let's begin with a quick review of electricity basics:
- Power is the rate at which energy is supplied - like the speedometer on your car that measures how fast you can go. Power is measured in Watts (W).
- Energy is the measure of power over time - like your car's odometer, which measures how far you've gone. Energy is measured in watt-hours (Wh) or kilowatt-hours (kWh).1,000 watt-hours = 1 kilowatt-hour.
Solar panels will generate different amounts of energy (measured in kWh) depending both on their power capacity (measured in kW) and how many hours the panels have ideal access to sunlight.
- The amount of money you can save depends on how much solar energy is generated, how much electricity from the grid you typically use, and your electricity rate in cents per kWh.
- For example, if you have a 5-kW system, it could generate approximately 20 kWh of energy in one sunny day.
- Over the course of a month, if the system generated 400 kWh, it would directly offset that quantity of grid electricity use. So if you typically pay $0.12/kWh for your electricity, installing solar could lower your electricity bill by as much as $48.00 per month.

Home › Forums › Dating and Sex Advice › He almost slept with someone
This topic contains 53 replies, has 1 voice, and was last updated by Lane 4 months, 1 week ago.
Me & my LDR bf are fighting right now & I dont know if I can believe him. Thoughts?
He slipped up in a fall out & told me he "almost slept with another girl but stopped because of me"
Ive tried my hardest to get further information on this but he literally replies almost avoiding all my questions.
Ive said things like, you had her in your bed, both naked & you almost slept with her…to which he replies things like
"I am sorry for the way this has made you feel. I got drunk. I won't justify myself"
and somehow completely manages to avoid anything at all about the situation (like why this happened, what happened etc)
I ASK: Would you believe this? Suddenly your partner gets a touch of a conscious JUST as he is about to do the deed and stops because of you….Believable? Chances?
I mean Ive ditched him for sure.
Ive blocked him on all platforms & today he emails me…keeps saying he's sorry for how this makes me feel (notice he doesn't apologise for the act).
I just want know if any of you would believe this?
I feel he slept with her.
Raven – You think he did too?
It doesn't matter if he did or not…
He put himself in an un-reservable situation… It's his intent that matters.
wow – I actually never thought of it like that. Im at this very angry stage. I don't even feel pain. Just solid anger at this. I feel like he's lying to me, however you're right – it doesn't matter if he did or didn't – its the intent.
Why did he tell you? Stop asking him questions it will only make you feel worse..the details will haunt you. And yes he is lying. Two people naked in a bed drunk and it was just silly honest fun. Men aren't good with long distance they enjoy the physical part too much. Good for you for blocking him and from personal experience trust me finding out details makes it way worse..are you guys young? Sorry that happened. Maybe if he is telling you this he is kind of trying to get out and find his freedom. In that case leave him be as you have. Theres really no excuse for him to be "sleeping naked" next to somebody. Anyways ditch him and find your own naked buddy. xoxo Hope you are okay
whether he did it when drunk or not it doesn't matter, his intentions were to sleep with another women and he was really close to do it.the end of the story
Sweetie. Break up with him you deserve so much better than what this guy can give you. I was in a long distance relationship as well. It's not easy but you have to trust that when you are not there your partner is being faithful to you. In this case this guy has broken that trust. You clearly cannot trust him.
So what if he didn't actually do the deed? He was still in a situation that someone who is ready to be in a committed relationship shouldn't be in. No offence to you, but he sounds like an absolute dickhead. Congrats to him for doing everything but actually sleeping with another girl. He should've thought about you before the girl was in his bed in the first place. It's really not good enough.
Dump his ass and don't contact him again. Have respect for yourself and realise you deserve better than him. The sorry has come to little to late.
I agree with and will reinforce what others have said. The truth will not set you free one way or another. It's not about if it's believable. For a LDR, something like this poisons the trust. It's terminal whether you give it another chance or not.
Someone who is mature and truly faithful to their significant other doesn't put themselves in risky situations to begin with. And distance relationships require such proactive good judgement even more. It's respectable that he told you what happened. But he's not boyfriend material.
Well done, Alex, for recognizing that this was wrong even though you didn't have all the details, and rightfully blocking him. Wishing you strength and a speedy recovery from the breakup.
*that it happened.
Better off single
Don't men tend to live in the moment and don't often think of the consequences?
He slipped and confessed. He was guilty. He admitted it. Now hes begging for forgiveness.
You probably did the right thing or you could get him to submit, grab him by the balls and threaten with an ultimatum. Isn't that what women do?
Long distance relationships are tough especially when you want your partner next to you. I'm not saying what he did was right. He made a mistake and was honest with you. He said he stopped because of you. Did he sleep with her and come up with a white lie so it didn't seem as bad? Probably. Did he stop talking to her because he wants you more? Probably.
I can't tell you how many stupid things I've done because I was drunk and not thinking clearly.
He was naked in bed with another woman. It doesn't make a difference if he had intercourse surely? No way were they led there with a pillow between them. Sounds like you're in shock of what's happened- understandably- but there's no getting through that to my mind.
Whether he slept with her or not (I believe he did) that's a situation a man who is in committed relationship should not be in.
Dump him and don't look back, nothing he says will make you feel better.
Sorry this happened to you.
What if he did it? What if he didn't do it? What does it matter? Stop torturing yourself over whether he did it or not. You decided you are not forgiving this incident and broke up with him. He's handling this poorly. "I'm sorry for the way this makes you feel" is not even close to "I'm sorry I did this and I will never do it again." I'd have dropped him too.
If someone does stupid things while drinking, they should stop drinking and not blame the alcohol and address the real problem. It's not rocket science.
What confuses me is why people feel the need to confess when they did a one-off something stupid. If my BF made one mistake while drunk I wouldn't want to know about it. That's his to live with. Why make it your partner's problem too.
I'm only human
Not everyone is a planner and thinks things through. That's all I'm saying. It takes a few mistakes to learn. Hopefully he learned to keep it to himself when he does it again because once an almost cheater is always an almost cheater.
You were right to dump him. It's probably better to forgive and forget than forgive and give him another chance to "prove" himself and disappoint you.
Good for you hon.
Better off single
I always wonder what it is the girlfriend is saying or doing to get a guy to let go of the will to control himself from sleeping with another woman and saying "No, I'm good. I've got someone" ?
What can a woman do to keep her man from cheating on her?
Everyone is different so I'm sure it's a myriad of reasons.
I would question a mans motive of telling you this. It's the perfect way to get a woman to break up with you.
He told me during an argument. It slipped out that he almost slept with someone. I have no idea when it happened. As I said he's vague and gives little away. He's like this in conflict, he will say the bare minimum to avoid disputes. When he told me, I called him the C word and instantly blocked him. To which he emails me, and now I just ignore him. It's hard. I know I will find someone better. I'm home in the matter of weeks too which makes this even more frustrating.
All this advice has really helped me however. I feel like I've 100% done the right thing and that overthinking/asking questions will further haunt me. I still know very little other than he almost slept with someone and was drunk. I dont know when/where/why/who etc. I haven't been in contact with him since I posted on here…Thanks for all the help. Means a lot.
@Peggy "I would question a mans motive of telling you this. It's the perfect way to get a woman to break up with you."
Um, how about someone who values transparency in a relationship above everything else? Or has a conscience? It spooks me how many couples are strategic about their truths with their partner, and lie by omission. I guess if you're happy with that kind of a relationship, that's all that matters eh (no sarcasm). I screwed up (borderline cheated?) twice via texting. Screwed up few other times that had nothing to do with infidelity. Confessed it all with varying delays. I was forgiven, and I wanted another chance, but would've accepted being dumped for some of those mistakes.
It makes perfect sense he said/spilled it during a fight. I did that myself a couple of times. Wanted to tell her but felt too vulnerable/attached/afraid to say it. It somehow became easier to share during our "polite arguments." Cowardly of me. But a learning lesson for me going forward that I should be more courageous
I totally disagree with you Anderson. In this case he wasn't being transparent. They were having an argument and he likely said it to hurt her. He wasn't being transparent or open and honest. It's one thing to feel remorse and have a conversation. This was said in the heat of the moment. In your case I also question why you would feel the need to blurt out in a heated conversation. The odds of saying something nice during an argument isn't happening and usually each party is seeking someway to come out on top of hurt the other individual. It's not about confession. It's like saying, yeah? Well because of xyz, I had a woman who wanted me and we did xyz…
Secondly, there are people who say it to feel as if they are relieving some kind of guilt or use the excuse they need to be honest and have no secrets. They only care about getting the guilt off their chest but not how much it will hurt their partner. So for example, they admit a year or so after the fact of something that happened. Well, now they feel better supposedly. But they just messed up the head of the partner. Did knowing really make the relationship stronger? Of course not. Not in the majority of cases. It now breeds trust issues, lowers the partners self esteem, makes them question what you haven't told them and whether or not to worry about this in the future. It's a selfish act IMO. If the partner who cheated just stopped of their own volition and kept things on the right path, why would telling their partner help the situation or make things stronger?
That's my opinion. I think it's actually rare when people confess about transgressions in a way that it's beneficial for both parties. It's one thing to be open and honest for example if an ex connects with you or if you meet them for lunch. Especially if it was innocent you don't want to be perceived as holding back to create suspicion. But to flat out confess, oh I sexted with another woman a year ago and want to come clean? I'm not getting it.
This is similar to the topic of oversharing about past lovers. How many. What you did sexually. It doesn't further the relationship.
@Peggy I actually agree that in this case, he wasn't being transparent and accidentally confessed. That part's obvious. I was instead responding to your "I would question a man's motive…" which seemed to imply some sort of general truth. I was reacting to that generalization.
I guess we just have different principles and perspectives. What you do makes sense for you. For me it might never make sense. I couldn't withhold a truth that I knew would jeopardize a relationship. And I've done that everytime barring one instance. Such a rship is not worth much and instead a sham. If disclosing it is selfish then is hiding it selfless? There is something disturbing and backwards about this line of thinking.
In my personal experience, when I confessed my screw up it didnt absolve me from anything. Selfish was keeping it to myself where the guilt was occasional. After, it gave the guilt and shame a life. That guilt didn't disappear even though I was forgiven. It still hasn't completely gone even though the relationship is over. I violated a principle, one I believed in for a long time and stuck by many times, and that made me a hypocrite. Yeah, it's human to be hypocritical. But I strive to hold myself to higher standards than the average human ;)
I have no idea about the experiences you've had that have shaped your reality. Maybe the people you've dated confessed for the wrong reasons. I've done some wicked and questionable things at various ages and shared them with every girl I've been serious with. Some of that stuff, I'm sure some women would dump me over. Hasn't happened yet but it would be very understandable if it did. But sharing shameful and embarrassing things is the essence of building emotional intimacy for me. People I don't feel emotionally vulnerable with are the ones I can quit ridiculously easily. And speaking from experience, many facets of life are way too easy and meaningless by being fake, pretending, lying, or tricking others.
OP- i think it is possible that your bf was telling the truth. It happened to me and Im on the other side of the equation (im the other girl). This guy Im with suddenly stopped after a few seconds of trying to put it in. We were already both naked in bed and in position. I couldnt believe he suddenly stopped and was like "no sex, lets just cuddle" after maybe thrusting twice.
I think my guy is single but Im just saying it is possible for a man's conscience to stop him on the act, so dont assume they had sex. Whether to forgive or not is another thing.
Ok Anderson. Using your principle then you should always be honest and tell your wife or gf she gained weight, she doesn't look good in that dress. You don't like the curtains she picked out or the gift she just gave you for your birthday. My point is that just because it pops into your head doesn't mean you aren't considerate about how the other person would take it if you always told the black and white truth. If you laid in bed with a woman and didn't have sex and it happened one time while drunk, how does confessing that to your woman further the relationship? As you can see in this case she dumped him. Was it a one off? Was it similar to things you claim you have done wrong? Most women are not going to be forgiving and if they initially are the trust has already been broken and over time that alone will cause the relationship to fall apart. There is nothing fake about withholding certain information. If I travel and a guy flirts at me in a restaurant I don't go home and tell my husband, hey guess what some guy tried to pick me up. Why would he care and if nothing happened all you sound like you are doing is trying to make him jealous. Obviously we agree to disagree on the topic. But if you are so moral to begin with you wouldn't need to be making these types of confessions. Which is why I question the motive of fessing up. It may not diminish your guilt but it sure just spreads it around so now both of you can be miserable.
Liz Lemon
If my boyfriend got drunk and naked with another woman, my trust would be shattered whether or not he slept with her. As Khadija said, how would a man in a committed relationship even get into that situation? I would not be able to trust him, period. Because if that's how he behaves then he could very well find himself in that situation again. And the next time he might not have the restraint to not sleep with her (assuming he's even telling the truth about not sleeping with her).
Put the shoe on the other foot. How would you boyfriend react if you told him you got drunk and naked with another guy, but swore you didn't have sex with him?

The Valley has lost one of its most unique weekend attractions. As of earlier this month, Singh Farms has ended its popular Saturday morning farmers' market due to conflict with the surrounding community.
Farm owner Ken Singh declined an interview, but had the following to say in a statement to New Times:
"We are saddened by the current situation and the circumstances of the traffic and parking. In order to alleviate the current parking problems for the farm and the Community — the farm has decided to close the Saturday market for the remainder of the season until we can find a productive solution for all involved. We will open Friday from 3 to 7 [p.m.] until the harvest is complete."
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The decision to suspend the Saturday morning market comes after what seems like a lengthy battle with the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community. The farm is located on land leased from the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community and in posts on the Singh Farm Facebook earlier this month, the farm's operators describe issues with patrons failing to abide by no-parking signs posted on the street.
One post from Sunday, April 17, reads in part:
"We appreciate your support of our Saturday market but we fully understand the issue for the Community — this is their land and we all should respect their wishes. The "No Parking" signs installed on the street by the Community are the same ones on the streets where you live and work — yet some chose to totally disregard them here. We can only assume those are the same folks who disregard the signs within the farm."
For now, the farm will be open on Friday nights from 3 to 7 p.m. Visitors are asked not to park on the street or in driveways and to use the farm's lots instead. For more information, visit the Singh Farms Facebook page.

Britney Spears' New Album Name Confirmed: Everything We Know About 'Britney Jean'
You know what's so great about Britney Spears? You just root for the girl no matter what. She's like your little sister, only she's older, and way richer. Sure, sometimes she's a little sad to watch if only because she seems so overwhelmed and mostly thwarted by any task put in front of her, but she's Britney. And we love her. The latest news surrounding everyone's favorite 31-year-old pop star and mother of two is that Britney Spears' new album is called Britney Jean . Jean is her middle name (as if you didn't know), and she told Capitol FM that she went with this title for her eighth studio album because it's a "personal album."
She told the radio program: "It's a personal album and all my family, they always call me Britney Jean. It's a term of endearment and I just wanted to share that with my fans."
Listen, I love the fact that Britney wants to share more with her fans, but perhaps knowing less about her personal life wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. There's very little mystery when it comes to Britney — we know all about her children, her ex boyfriends, ex husbands, ex fiancés, who manages her finances, where she lives, what jobs she takes, where she vacations, we even know what she eats — maybe staying a bit more private, if that's even possible in this day and age, could benefit the album.
But! That's neither here nor there. What's done is done. Britney is back, bitch, and if she wants to tell us more about her life, awesome. So far, Britney Jean has kept Britney Jean under wraps, but here's what we know so far.
The album will come out Dec. 3 (the day after Britney's 32nd birthday, but again, pretty sure I didn't have to tell you that), and will feature "Work Bitch", the song you already love, as well as a ballad possibly called "Perfume" and a song called "Aliens."
It's unclear who will guest star on her album, but Us Weekly confirms will.i.am was a producer on the project and that Madonna and William Orbit also collaborated. When asked whether or not Britney super fan Miley Cyrus will appear on a track, Ms. Spears said, "you'll have to wait and see!"
The last time Britney put out an eponymous album, 2001's Britney, it reached quadruple platinum status, selling over 15 million copies worldwide. Her last project, 2011's Femme Fatale, sold about 769,000 copies in the U.S. Quite a difference 10 years makes.
Who knows how Britney Jean will do, but her Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood and the fact that "Work Bitch" reached number 12 on the Billboard charts bodes well for the project. But can Britney Jean do what Britney once did? Maybe, but probably not.
