Fuckhole: A hole that is fucked.
Fuckholes! This can apply to any orifice on any object, not neccessarily that of a woman, or a man. My friend Bert had a penchant for sticking his penis in pencil sharpeners, for their tightness, but come into some problems when extarcting said member. My ex-girlf had a glas eye that she could remove at a whim and this proved to be a new and exciting way of...

A lame attempt to write again (stand-up piece written and performed last year)
Hi, I'm Anton. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to perform in front of you. If you're recording this, then I'm sorry to disappoint you: I'm going to give you a bad set. But, I'd love it if you laugh from time to time…
So, what's up? Good. Good.
Now, let me tell you something about me. You know, I'm telling you this like I'm writing my Facebook profile… "ABOUT ME!" Then, you'll see words like: "simple, deep, complex person" or "a music lover" pero, pinapakinggan ko Salbakuta. "Istupid lab!" But, you know, I'm telling information in front of [counts audience] around 5 people, so this is kinda like a public Facebook profile.
Something about me that I will write on my Facebook profile, eventually, "a misanthropic person." You know what misanthropy is? It's basically just plain hatred on humanity. Plaaaaain and fucking simple. I have a lot of reasons to hate people. Really, I do. First of all, you're all here. Ha! Ha! Ha!That's one reason to hate. Instead of being inside your house, with your wife and kids, spending quality time… You're inside a comedy bar to laugh at YOUR stupidity. You guys are stupid and I hate all of you!
[If negative reaction] Okay, okay. I don't really hate you all. I'm just fishing for a reaction. It just so happens that, well, you guys are fucking assholes.
[If positive reaction/continued from 3rd paragraph] Well, I really hate men who post their "well-sculpted" bodies on their internet profiles. You know, they're these dumb, below-70 IQ guys posing in front of the bathroom mirror, either pulling their shirt up to show their abdomen or a full-frontal show, points their camera at the mirror, or a 45-degree angle, shoots themselves, and uploads the picture. God fucking damn. It's an abomination. Every time I see one picture like that, I say: "Puta naman, p're. Hindi ko kailangan makita yung abs mo!" Then, I'll cringe on the hashtags: "#igers", "#brofit", "#gymjunkie", "#bodylove", o kaya, eto, putangina nung nakita ko itong hashtag na ito… "#'mirin'" Putang ina. "'mirin'", amputa. Short for "admiring". Inutil kang pekpek ka. Paki-type po nang tama yung salita. There's a reason why your iPhone or Android phone keyboard layout is QWERTY. And there's a reason why smartphones are called smartphones: it should not make you LOOK smart, it's suppose to MAKE you smarter than the machine. Okay? Good.
Instagram has become a circus. Everywhere there are different kinds of freaks. If you're posting on Instagram then you are either one of these freaks: the food critic, the sunset photographer, the "gym bro" I mentioned earlier, the feline lover, the fashion gurus and their fashion police, the cramming undergrad, the coffee shop couple, the pseudo-philosopher… you know, the one who posts quotes or one-liners from a book or author they might not have read and gets 10000000 likes, and, of course, we have the narcissist. Worst, if you're all of them at once! Post your Outfit of the Day with you holding a protein bar inside a gym with a stupid one-liner caption taken from a book by Coelho about cats while waiting for your significant other at 5:45PM and worrying about tomorrow's exams. Don't forget the hashtags! #ImANarcisistFucker #IwantYourAttention #PleaseNoticeMe #ImAnInternetLoser
The second reason why I hate humanity: you guys are fucking freaks. And, yes, I intentionally separated myself from… YOU GUYS because, well, I'm an evolved being. [After taking lots of weed and dabbled in the mystic arts and occultism, I have concluded that I am not your kind.] You know the reason why you're here? The reason why you're here is to laugh at YOUR mishaps, I'm here to fucking [make a popping sound] help you. You can add me on Instagram, by the way.
Technology has made us degrade. It's actually sad to say this as an evolved being.
During the Industrial Revolution, technology was just technology: tools to aid people in otherwise difficult jobs. Today, technology makes people zombies. I ride the train or bus and see majority of people looking down. During the '90s, if you do that in any public transportation, that means either you're asleep or you're praying for a safe trip. Today, it's either you're praying or looking at your Samsung Galaxy S5 or iPhone or your iPad mini. Both of which are fucking bad, by the way. I take a walk in SM and see people walking slowly, looking down at their phones like, you guessed it, a zombie. I also see people walking aimlessly while taking a call. Usually, this scene is seen in Makati or Ortigas. People! Reality check! Cellphone snatchers are everywhere. If you value your possessions, don't use your phone in public! Seryoso, kapag nakakakita ako ng magandang phone, siguro yung S5, na-te-tempt akong nakawin yun eh. Ang dali lang, eh: lakad ka lang sa likod niya tapos, SNATCH! Run like a nigga. Buti na lang at mga zombie kayo. Ang bagal ninyong maglakad. It's like watching "Thriller" again but in real life. I wish I had a handgun or pistol then I'll shoot their fucking heads. It's for a good cause, you'll thank me later.
One thing I really hate about these cellphone fucks is when I'm inside a public transportation. Lalo na sa dyip! Putanginang shit! Ang tahimik ng mga tao sa dyip biglang may tatawag sa isang pasahero sa cellphone niya. At, SIYA LANG YUNG MAINGAY DOON.
"HELLO? HELLO? JUNJUN? JUNJUN! PAKIDALA NGA YUNG PAPELES SA CITY HALL. KAILANGAN NILA NG PRUP OP OTENTISITI OP BERT. HELLO? HELLO? Binaba na."
Sa LRT o MRT, iba naman. Mas may dating.
"Hello? Sir, hindi ko pa po naibibigay ang recommendation letter kay chairman. Idadaan ko pa po sa HR yun. Salamat po."
Kita ninyo yung ipinagkaiba ng dalawa?
One time, I was walking along Aurora Boulevard and I nearly got shanked by some squatters, or, as an evloved being, I call them plebians. I thought to myself, "why did it have to be me?" Sudden realizations happened that night. One: I was wearing my turtleneck shirt and bad-ass black faux leather jacket. Two: I was walking along Sta. Mesa, Manila. One of the most notorious places around the Metro. And three: they thought I was a zombie.
Bus evangelists, man! What kind of shit is that? Papasok sila sa bus, prim and proper, maglalakad sa center aisle, tapos… "Aaaaaah… magandang gabi po sa inyong lahat, ako po ay narito para po ibahagi sa inyo ang kasabihan ng ating tagapag-ligtas, The One and Only Savior, Jesus Christ." I think to myself, "Jesus fucking Christ! I don't need this shit!" Then, they will do that for 15 minutes, say from Ayala to Ortigas without gridlock. Bababa sila sa Ortigas, sasakay sa isa pang bus, before you know it, nasa bahay na siya… sa Fairview o Bulacan. Aba, tangina nito, ah! Nakalibreng sakay in the name of God. Salamat, Hesus, at ibinigay ninyo ang mga taong hampas-lupa.
These evangelists, man. I can't stand them. Sila yung tipong dapat sunugin sa impiyerno. You'll see one of these evangelists riding the bus then, suddenly, there's a hell-hole underneath him slowly swallowing him up. Most especially when he asks for donations… "In money or in kind". Oh, sige. I'll donate my kindness. You know, I think that's the reason why I'm apathetic… I give too much kindness in the name of God. Wala akong pera, eh. Moral of the story: don't give your kindness to the Church; it will make you emotionless.
Evangelists in hell. That's a sight to see. Making them see their enemy up close and personal.
"Narito po ako para ibahagi sa inyo, Satanas, ang salita ng Diyos… ayon sa Roma kabanata 14 bersikulo 100, basa kapatid na—…"
[In dark, low voice] "Hindi ko kailangan niyang kagaguhan na iyan!" [Breathes fire]
"No, Satan, no!"
Then, eternal suffering.
You know, I have lost hope in our media. Yes, I do.
Did you ever notice this: our cultural capital is slowly declining. SLOWLY. You know, we have actors without talent, musicians without melody… politicians without dignity. All the right reasons to believe that every thing in this country is fabricated by… alas! The media! I'm a Journalism major, by the way, I know what the fuck I'm talking about. You know, even our news is fucking pointless!
I took the LRT the other day and some people from a tabloid company gave free copies of their product. When I read at the headline, putangina, totoo ito, ang nakalagay: "Kris Aquino, pati aso pinatulan!" True story, I have the copy in my bag. Kasing lala nito yung nakita kong headline noon: "Girl raped by 6 in front of BF." It seems like tabloid writers are fucking Literature majors. Sobrang imaginative talaga ng mga isinusulat nila. I read one of the erotica stories in the tabloid and I cringed at the choice of words. Hindi siya nakaka-tigas ng titi. Hindi talaga. "Ipinasok ni Martin ang kanyang malaking ari sa namamaga at pulang-pula na kepyas ni Marie." And, if you'd notice, it's always the women whose highly objectified. Let's dissect the sentence construction of that one: "Ipinasok ni Martin ang kanyang malaking ari" that's the first statement. No big deal. "Malaking ari". Alam nating lahat na lumalaki ang ari kapag libog.
"Sa namamaga at pulang-pula na kepyas ni Marie." Hmmmm… Well, I guess that made me hard saying it.
"Namamaga at pulang-pula na kepyas ni Marie." You could say that again and imagine it. Imagine it.
A throbbing red pussy lips and horny clitoris being drilled by a big cock. [Makes clapping sound] Noticed how many adjectives and adverbs I used for the pussy? Two? Three? Against the one adjective I used for the cock. No wonder women can get multiple orgasms. They can say more adjectives and adverbs than men. "Oh my God! My tight, underage, throbbing, red, horny, pulsating, gaping, squirting, and hot pussy is gonna come!" And that's only round one.
I was raised in a liberal Catholic family. You know, we're so liberal, we have the King James Version of the Bible and The Holy Quaran standing side-by-side in our library. I can't help but think that we're going to start the second Inquisition.
People ask me about my religion and I say, "oh, no. I have none." Then they will follow-up: "Are you an atheist?" or, if a Muslim asks me, "Are you an asshole?" I'll respond in the negative. Christians will have this mentality that it's either you're Christian or an atheist. Muslims will have this mentality that it's either you're a Christian or an asshole. Both of which makes them furious. You know, don't mess with both Christians or Muslims if you're not affiliated with them. The holy war is only for them and them only. I learned this the hard way.
I studied a year and a half in the University of Santo Tomas [chant "Go USTe!"] and I was the only agnostic in my block. There was a Muslim, a Born Again, and Protestant there but all the religious persecution was aimed at me and the Muslim. Imagine 51 students, plus professor, against two. We're at the losing end here. "Mr. Maza, please lead the prayer." I would go, "uh, sir, I don't know how to pray." The professor will then say, "Eh, bakit itong Muslim natin marunong magdasal ng Catholic prayer?" At that point my mind was blank. "See. If a non-Christian can pray our prayers, it only means she's a hypocrite. Oy, Muslim! Oy! Halika nga rito, hija!" I can only tell the horrors of their way. Suffice to say, I suffered both the wrath of the Catholic people and our only Muslim classmate: they blamed me for being an atheist and an asshole for not leading the prayer.
Muslims inside a Catholic school. It's like the KGB infiltrating the Pentagon. "I'll snatch your Papal Bulls for Allah!" Formulating conspiracy theories using Bulls and Pontifical documents. Muslims are ninjas, you know. That's why they wear a burqa. You won't notice them, too, if they're not wearing their burqa. It's like they know how to infiltrate their enemy's HQ. That's the problem with Christians: they don't have any other clothing to conceal their identities.
Speaking of conspiracy theories, have you heard of the Pontifical Secret? The Pontifical Secret is a series of documents sealed by the Vatican and shut off from the world. It contains, mostly, sexual abuse by clergymen. You can see how the Church reacts to sex: "Let's seal away these documents and read them from time to time." Like a fucking erotica novel written by the Vatican secretary: "Let it be known, on the first day of November, the year of the Lord two thousand and fourteen, that Archbishop Giancarlo Luis Senosta, of Napoli, has inserted his long, eight-inch phallus inside the tight rectum of Romano della Totti, a five year old altar boy and leper." Must be hard writing those words especially if you haven't had sex in the name of God. "Ooooh. Eight-inch phallus… oooh! Lord, I'm hard for you, Lord! Ooooh! These are words I've never written in years! Oooooh!" You'll see jizzms on the words "Lord", "tight rectum", and "five year old altar boy". You know, that's the last reason why I hate people.
You guys are fucking hypocrites.
But, is there hope for humanity? Is there? I keep on asking myself this. Should I give a little hope for humanity? I should, right?
People who are here watching me rant about why I hate people, you guys are the only hope this world can have. I may not give any hope for my fellow men and the least I can do is to point out what's wrong. But, that's it. I'm detached from any emotions regarding other people. I hate you all but that doesn't mean I won't help you. It's up to you to make this world a better place. Get out of here and help other people. Give alms to those who need, no matter how small you give them. Give food. Let them in your shelter. Show them that they're loved. Because, in the end, we are a race that will never survive a nuclear holocaust. A race that will never survive a meteor attack. A race that will never survive earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, floods, drowning in the swimming pool, and car accidents. Love all the people. That's my adivce for you. Love all the people.
Thank you for inviting me here, have a wonderful evening. Good night!

When an educatorDoesn't push but frees, doesn't pull but raisesDoesn't squizze but gives shape, doesn't impose but teachesDoesn't demand but just asks,He will live together with a child having lots of inspiring moments…
Janusz Korczak
A father was taking care of his children and tried to entertain them, but without success. It was a rainy Saturday and the kids were bored. They started to annoy the father with their impatience and unstoppable talking. Suddenly the man got an idea. He took a magazine from a shelf and started to look through it looking for a map of the world printed on one of the pages. He tore it off and cut it into very small pieces. Then he mixed them and put the pile on the floor, just like puzzles. Then he gave his children a task to fit them together to set the map back. He hoped to silence the kids for a longer time. He left them and went to make himself some coffee. Imagine his amazement when he came back after five minutes and found the map already correctly and carefully set back.
- How did you manage to set the map so quickly? – He asked surprised with their skills.
- That was easy – said the younger of the brothers - You told us to set the map of the world. When we first looked at the pieces we did not know where to start. We thought we wouldn't be able to do it. But then we noticed that on the opposite side there is a photo of a man. So we just rearranged the puzzles, then we turned them and… the world appeared.
- Yes, Dad – spoke the other brother – That was easy. When a man is set properly, the world is also OK…

When issues do arise, Einstein Industries devotes the attention of the highest-level members of its team to ensuring that clients end up feeling taken care of and completely satisfied.
Einstein Industries founder and CEO Robert Silkey assured us that every one of the company's employees shares his vision and devotion to providing an exceptional customer experience. Through our discussions with Einstein Industries, it has become apparent to Ripoff Report that Mr. Silkey and his team truly care about and listen to their clients and strive to make their interactions with Einstein Industries consistently positive.

No issue is swept under the rug or ignored; it is brought out into the light and given proper and due consideration, with a timely resolution being the ultimate goal.

Einstein Industries develop and facilitate website and internet communication and patient payments to doctors, dentists, and medical professionals dealing in cash pay health care. Their primary market is specialty medical fields such as plastic surgeons and dentists. Their vision is to expand the cash pay medical sector of medical professionals.
Their company appeals to their target market, specialists in the medical field, by attending medical trade shows and aiming their emphasis toward plastic surgeons. They have a national sales force that covers all parts of the country with specific sales people assigned to areas to generate new clients. Additionally, they have an expanding referral base generated from past and existing clients.
EINSTEIN INDUSTRIES / Statements from the CEO
"Einstein Industries continues to refine and expand its product line and believes that innovation and unsurpassed experience remain among its strongest assets. "Now is precisely the time to focus on meaningful product improvement for the sake of our current and future clients.
When we pair this with one-on-one consulting we're able to help our clients get the most from their Internet marketing strategy." ~ Robert Silkey, CEO
When working with Einstein Industries, a client will first complete a consultation and evaluation to determine their business method and function. Next, they will be provided with a complete 40-120 page report outlining a suggested internet approach for search engine optimization to achieve the best results.
Their sales approach is a consulting and client education process, as opposed to a sales pitch. After they have an evaluation of the clients business, they provide a detailed 40-120 page report with design recommendations and site optimizations for review and discussion. They also review and discuss with the client the internal review of this report and how to implement it internally into their business. Should the client choose not to use their services, the report is still theirs to keep.
Internally, their company is constantly training their staff to improve all areas of their work within the company. They believe that good, consistent training in website and sales communication is vital.
Einstein Industries believes that their 18 years of experience sets them apart from others in their industry. They maintain that they are a health care company first, not a computer tech company.
Doing whatever it takes to make the client happy
During the onsite interview, President Ted Ricasa was asked how he advises employees to "do whatever it takes" to make the client happy: "The customer always comes first, listen to their problem and find a solution. Regardless of whether or not the problem is real or perceived, the customer is first. Take all steps necessary, but do not hesitate to bring in additional help and expertise from every level of the company. If this means going to the CEO, do it. No changes have been made to our policy since complaints were made; we have just put additional emphasis on client satisfaction."
Mr. Ricasa was also asked to describe a specific situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received: "The most common situations have been along the lines of a client forgetting, unintentional mistakes, and just simple errors. We take the time to reeducate the client about the website and internal uses. We do not consider these complaints, just common errors involved in technology and its uses. Specifically, we had a complaint centered, not on a product issue but rather a personality conflict between the client and his field representative. We assigned him a new field rep and the issue was resolved, a simple communications error. We still have the client and he has become one of our best referrals and is still with the company."
Einstein Industries is pleased to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. They are happy to be a part of a program that has consumer's best interests in mind.

EINSTEIN INDUSTRIES / Testimonials
"As you know Internet advertising is becoming more and more the number one way that patients inform themselves and find themselves doctors… DocShop has been sensational for our practice. Einstein Medical created my first website and through three evolutions we've had nothing but compliments on our website. They've done a great job hosting it and, more importantly, their search engine optimization is really secondary to none." ~Dr. Richard Norden"
"The Internet has been tremendous for our patients. They love being able to go online and get their instructions—their post-operative instructions, learn about their procedures and get their questions answered. Having video testimonials from previous patients or having people be able to meet me before they come into the office often allows them to feel much more comfortable and confident with seeing us. This video and the Internet has been a tremendous boon for our practice and I think the educational value it offers for patients 24/7 is one of the greatest technological advances we've had in medicine in quite a few years." ~ Dr. Charles Perry
"I've been a client of Einstein Medical for four years now. Before I started my practice, I believe I had my practice initiated with Einstein before I had my office open. And I think this was a very smart move on my part. I found it very helpful in getting my image together and helping to get my practice launched. I think that the Internet is a little bit of a double-edged sword. On the positive side it brings a tremendous number of people to our door, it does provide them with information, and when they do find us, it is to our benefit. The negative side of it is that there is a wealth of information out there and to have a company that organizes it and provides in in a way that patients can rely upon and standards that have been met and examined helps us to know that patients are getting the right information." ~ Dr. Kouros Azar

Einstein Industries Robert Silkey - Teodoro Ricasa Overcharging for listings, no longer buying advertising on the search engines, no longer linking to doctors website, no longer making free corrections, making doctors pay to upload before and after picutes (and selling them the software so they can upload pictures themselves) not paying employess, and not paying payroll tax to the tune of > $4 million and this was BEFORE the recession. San Diego CaliforniaThis place defies all laws of social Darwinism; the longer they are in business the more ways they find to lie to clients AND employees. First, they charge an arm and a leg to their clients (doctors, dentists, and lawyers) to list their practice website in an overpriced directory online. They tell their sales people not to worry because Doctors and Lawyers don't feel they are getting anything of "value" unless they are being overcharged. Likewise, when they sell the positions in their directory - docshop.com or lawyershop.com - they tell the prospective client that they are one of the largest advertisers on Google and no company spends more in the elective health care or law arena. However it does not take an Einstein to go to Google and type in 'breast augmentation', 'cosmetic dentistry', 'lasik', or 'family law' and notice a distinct void of any paid advertisements by this company; hey that's not what you told me when I signed up! What happened to the co-op advertising strategy and having more visility that any other company out there like it?
Then they told me it would take 4 months to build my site and it took over 14 months; 3 designers, 1 video shoot, and 4 writers later I am almost done. They told me video is going to take over the internet because Google now owns all the copyrighted material on YouTube and because they are the titans of the industry EVERYONE will be doing video like Google so watch out Yahoo and Microsoft! Darn , wrong again, how gullible am I to believe those people? The straw that broke the camel's back was not that I finally got a rep that wasn't trying sell me a bridge and they left (probably not getting paid), not the turn-over rate of my design team, not the amount of time that it took to complete the site, nor the rumor that they aren't paying there staff on time (http://www.1personalinjurylawyers.com/pi/news/einstein-california-labor-law.html but the audacity of the Senior Manager, Justin or Jason, and the CEO Robert Silkey, who insulted my site (that I paid them to create) and told me that I needed to spend some time with him so I can learn about Google's new revolution that is going to change everything and I need to be prepared for or just got out of the internet all together. After spending more that 2 hours on the phone with the guy and 2 appointments, he wanted 1 more and another hour, I walked away wondering if I was on Earth still and we actually spoke the same language, I realized he did not hear 1 word I said and made a joke about my chosen profession. Not only did he not listen to anything but in fact tried to tell me it was my fault the project dragged and that I agreed to finish as is and that if I wanted to add all the cases that I have photographed in the past year was going to cost me thousands of dollars MORE than I had already wasted (just reliving this makes my blood boil!) because they have new software that is the best thing since sliced bread because I get to load the photos myself after I buy the software. WHAT A CROCK! Why don't I dump my malpractice insurance, let patients make their own prognosis, should them where the anesthesia, gauze, and equipment is, then they can treat themselves AFTER they pay a premium for the privilege. No wonder the directory is losing clients everywhere. I would never recommend this company, not even to my biggest enemy, if I ever get one, due to their blatant disregard for ethics and decency. To top it all off they don't even pay their employees on time and are being sued by the CA Labor Commissioner for $250,000. This link was sent to my by my brother-in-law in Florida who is a dentist and has spent time with the CEO Robert Silkey and his fiance named Anca and maybe these people are frcing the CEO to take extraordinary measures: http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/nv/press/september2006/soni091206.htm

I've always loved to sing. I grew up in a musical family, where we were constantly performing for and with each other. There's nothing I enjoy more than harmonizing with my siblings. There's something special about singing in harmony with others—your personal responsibility to hold your own part, while acknowledging others and blending with their voices. It's an awesome experience to produce a balanced oneness among different voices. It requires practice, patience, and motivation, but the end... Read More

Rams Show Promise And Hope For Future, But 2014 Ends As Many Others HaveThe St. Louis Rams did not have an awful season in 2014, but a 6-10 record isn't what they were hoping for.

Maybe put a call in to your OB...seems early for BH's.
Heather- Mommy to 3!
�Ava 12-06, Enzo 5-09,�Aston 6-11
I don't think it's too early-- When I was pregnant with my first I got them way early and didn't know what it was. I thought the baby was pushing on the front of my uterus-- b/c it was a hard ball when I was getting them..... then I realized a couple months later what it actually was! Ha!! Nothing to be worried about as long as your sure they are BH.
Mommy to a beautiful baby boy: Born 11/20/09
Soon to be�blessed with a baby girl!�Due 6/11/11
Totallynormal, they can actually start around 6wks though most moms cant feel them until much later. With my first I didnt feel them until the last few wks of my pregnancy, with my second I was able to feel them late 2nd early 3rd trimester, with this pregnancy I have already felt a few here and there.
My boys,Adrien 11/29/02 & Daylen 5/8/09 and my birthday present Sistine 6/1/11 ♥(#)♥
WIth second and subsequent pregnancies its completely common to start getting them once you reach the second trimester. Ive been getting them for a week or two now, but only when I overwork myself. It feels like tightening and a bit of pressure, but not really pain. I remembered them from my other pregnancies as soon as I had the first one, because for me it also makes me have to pee really bad!! LOL Usually sitting down and drinking some water helps me. Good luck!!
Proud Admin of some fabulous CREAMY MAMAS!
DD (7), DS (3) , DD Born 6/14/11! Welcome Ally!!
Yes being sure to stay extra hydrated does help...I am having the same thing.
I get cramping with them and it affects my lower back when it happens. Does this still sound normal for Braxton Hicks?

I was going to start a thread about this too. I was having the same pain/issue the last two days (it didn't happen today though). I thought it was maybe round ligament pain but, didn't exactly fit the description. The tension was in my groin and lower pelvic region too...and started after I was doing a lot of walking (Christmas shopping:). Now I think they were Braxton Hicks. I asked my doctor at my last appt. when they could start and she said anytime really...its different for everyone.

Hi, I love this plugin, but I am having an issue where I can't duplicate fields that are "Related Types". I have the checkbox set to duplicate, but in my write panel, clicking the duplicate link doesn't do anything.
Any ideas?
Alternatively, one approach to attaching multiple related posts to a post might be to change the drop-down to a listbox. This would require no duplication of the field, and make the user experience better, I think.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina officials are advising lawmakers to change the state's anti-illegal immigration law to put it in line with last week's U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
The Senate could take up the proposed changes later Wednesday as part of a bill that requires officers to check suspects' immigration status.
The amendments would tweak South Carolina's 2008 law that put the onus on businesses to check their employees' immigration status. The state's labor director and attorney general say the changes would ensure state law would be deemed constitutional.
The proposal would do away with the current system of fines for not checking workers. The state would instead punish businesses that continue to break the law after warnings by revoking their operating business licenses and filings.

"All wars are Civil Wars, because all men are brothers."A Civil War is an intense conflict between organized groups trying to take control of a state and/or region, or to change government policies. Most Civil Wars are fought by a status-quo ruling body of the state and one or more groups that wish to change said state, though said non-state groups often fight each other as well, and it can also be between two states that both claim to be the sole rightful (nation-)state for a single nation. To be considered a "war" rather than an uprising or rebellion requires that the conflict involve regular armed force, involve organized factions, and be on a certain scale and of a certain intensity. All the sides involved have to have a genuine chance (however small) of achieving their aims in the conflict for it to be a Civil War and not just a rebellion/uprising. Where rebellions end and Civil Wars begin often isn't clear, and whether a conflict is called one or the other often depends on what the factions - especially the victorious one - decide to call it. Those fighting Civil Wars usually don't call them that, as they try to make use of the power of language to suggest that they are in the right: the ruling power will term it a police action against unpopular extremist rebels. Their enemies will consider themselves People's Heroes and Freedom Fighters spearheading a populist Revolution. However, it is just as likely for a small group of rebels to claim Civil War status (as such terminology would give their struggle an air of seriousness it would not otherwise have), or likewise, for the government to use the term (to justify force that would seem excessive against a mere criminal action). How the outside world views the situation is largely Written by the Winners. This is largely why wars for independence are so murky when it concerns the concept: generally, if a country fails to gain independence, expect it to be called a civil war, and if it does, expect it to be called a regular war or a Revolution (thereby implying that the two post-war countries were never one). No matter who prevails, it is often a Pyrrhic Victory, as, depending on the world situation, internal conflict provides an opportunity for exploitation or conquest by outside forces: Divide and Conquer if the villain takes advantage, and Enemy Civil War for the heroes. Civil Wars both real and fictional have provided excellent opportunities for stories, as depicted morality can be all over the board. The fact that both sides believe themselves to be justified allows for an authorial portrayal of both sides having good people fighting for what they believe in along with a couple of real bastards on both sides. Often, while one side may indeed be presented as morally superior, there will be a Worthy Opponent among the enemy ranks and the Perspective Flip is common. Along with that, there can be Star-Crossed Lovers pining for each other across the battlefield and families split by the tension of what they believe is right. Many an Alternate History is based around one side of a Civil War prevailing over another. This is not to be confused with Marvel Comics' Civil War. Examples of factual Civil Wars commonly used in media:
— Francois Fenelon
- The Wars of the Roses (1455-1485), famously depicted in Shakespeare's plays.
- The English Civil War(s) (1642-1651) looms large in British wargaming and historical re-enactment, but also some dramas
- The American Revolution (1775-1783) is under-represented, but still features in US works
- The French Revolution (1789-1799) involved a series of wars within France, in the Vendee, in Brittany, Lyon and Bordeaux fought between Royalists and Republicans.
- The American Civil War (1861-1865) features in US works
- The Russian Civil War (1917-1922) features prominently in Soviet works and expat accounts, most famously in Sholokhov's epic novel Quiet Flows the Don
- The Chinese Civil War c.1916-1950 is a setting for a smattering of mainland-Chinese dramas and several foreign sinophiles' diaries
- The French Civil Wars in 1940-44 and 1954-62 are conspicuously absent (bar The Battle of Algiers) - official policy under Charles De Gaulle was that the former never happened, and the same has largely gone for the latter as well
- The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) is the inspiration for Picasso's Guernica and features in the writings of George Orwell and Ernest Hemingway
- The Korean War (1950-1953) is perhaps best-remembered as the setting of M.A.S.H. and some forgettable action-flicks
- The Vietnam War (1955-1975) is very well represented in US media, albeit featuring largely (if not exclusively) on the US's involvement.
- The Troubles (1969-1998) are at least in the background of many works set in the British Isles in the '60s-'90s, although as with the Irish Civil War of 1922-23 direct focus on the events is very rare.
- The Sri Lankan Civil War (1983-2009) is hard to avoid in local media
- The collapse of the Han Empire brought about a civil war that culminated in the rise of three separate empires. Most famous for being the origin of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, though the Romance throws in a lot of folklore and anachronisms.
- And a host of others.
Examples of famous fictional Civil Wars:
open/close all folders
Anime & Manga
- The Gryps War of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam was fought between the Anti Earth United Government (AEUG) and the Titans. Both factions claimed to be operating under the Earth Federation, though when the Titans demonstrated a remarkable lack of care for whether or not Earth Federation political leaders were caught in the crossfire, the Titans were declared traitors.
- In Fullmetal Alchemist there was the Ishvalan Civil War which happened in the backstory, and devolved into a Guilt-Free Extermination War due to the Amestrians ordering their genocide.
- Later on in the manga, Colonol Mustang starts his own revolution to take power and stop the plans of the main villain, assisted by General Armstrong and her forces.
Comic Books
- Astérix provides the page picture (although the names aren't those of the Goth chiefs but doctored to be the names of then-current French politicians). Astérix, Obélix and Getafix engineer an Enemy Civil War berween the Goths to prevent them from invading Gaul before centuries.
- The Marvel Civil War, with heroes supporting a Super Registration Act fighting those who refused to reveal their identities. Intended to be an Outside Man, Inside Man situation, with the pro-reg group trying to head off an even worse situation by co-operating. This also went meta, the resulting Fandom War, pitting the authors of said story arc versus most of the rest of the fandom and their fellow writers.
- Its sequel, Civil War II, involves the Marvel superheroes once again split, this time Captain Marvel wants to use someone's precognitive powers to prevent crimes and disasters from happening. Iron Man, however, refuses to punish criminals before they commit crimes. All of this is set off by the deaths of War Machine and She-Hulk at the hands of Thanos.
Fan Fic
- In Equestria: A History Revealed, the Equestrian Civil War, when Luna first became Nightmare Moon and attempted to usurp Celestia.
- Depending on your interpretation of the backstory of Shell Shock, the conflict may or may not be a civil war.
- Heavily implied to be the case in Welcome To The Brothel.
- In A Kingdom Divided some of Equestria's towns rebel against Princess Celestia.
- In Brother Against Sister, it's Prince Blueblood who leads the seceded part of Equestria. Apparently, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic writers love this trope.
- Occurs twice in Venezuela before the Alien Invasion in Worldwar: War of Equals. First between various political factions after Hugo Chavez's death and the second between Loyalist forces and supporters of the new military leadership after Nicolas Maduro is removed from power by a military coup.
- Narrowly averted in the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic The Divide. After it's discovered that Sombra was Celestia's son, Cloudsdale secedes from Equestria in disgust, with rumblings as far as the Crystal Empire of others planning the same. However, despite Chrysalis' attempt to inflame the situation, cooler heads prevail, and ultimately the situation is resolved peacefully, with Cloudsdale rejoining.
- Much like in the books, Son Of The Seven Kingdoms has a civil war, but the number of sides is smaller: the main contendants are Joffrey (who holds the Iron Throne and has the support of the Westerlands) and William (with the support of the North, the Riverlands, Dragonstone and part of the Stormlands), while Renly and the Tyrells seek to ally with William (who is betrothed to Arya Stark) by marrying him to Margaery, Dorne and the Vale are proclaiming neutrality and the Iron Islands might end up becoming independent.
- After Renly's death, the rest of the Stormlands flock to William, as do several Westerland lords dissatisfied with Lannister rule; the Tyrells are talked into allying with the Lannisters by Littlefinger, who also promises Tywin that he can win over the Vale; Tyrion begins trying to win over Dorne for William; and the Iron Islands still go independent.
- The W.I.T.C.H. fanfic Ripples has one break out on Meridian following the Darkest Winter Night, between those loyal to Phobos and the so-called Council of Restoration, composed of all the noble houses which view him as an usurper and wish to depose him. However, the latter eventually collapses due to a combination of political infighting and being worn down by Phobos' military, leading to the canon Rebellion beginning.
- The Galactic Civil War within the Galactic Empire forms the central conflict of the Star Wars franchise, preceded by the Clone Wars, fought between the Galactic Republic and a Confederation formed for seceding Republic planets. Numerous smaller-scale civil wars are noted in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and initially the Empire cracked down on them fiercely, unlike the Republic which usually let them be or sent Jedi to figure things out. Later the Empire was content to let them rage while chasing Rebels.
- In the EU there's actually a Second Galactic Civil War, this one with the Galactic Alliance (post-New Jedi Order New Republic, which in itself is post-Endor Rebel Alliance) against the Confederacy, which is a group of worlds led by Corellia in an attempt to break away. It ends up shifting the power balance quite a bit; the Jedi Order even forms its own temporary government in order to end the conflict.
- The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a civil war between loyal agents of SHIELD and infiltrated agents of Hydra. It begins in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and it is continued in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
- Of course, there's also the Avengers civil war in Captain America: Civil War. Which, unlike its comic book counterpart, is sparked by the Sokovia Accords, a bill that would place the Avengers under the authority of the UN.
- A civil war is an important part of the backstory in A Brother's Price. The royal family of Queensland had such a wealth of daughters that the family was split, the older half staying and marrying Michael, the younger half marrying Raphael and moving to rule recently-annexed Southland. But Michael turned out to be infertile, and the younger sisters became more and more insistent that their children be considered the heirs. This led eventually to what was called the War of the False Eldest, which ended with all of the younger sisters and their children being executed. Except, it turned out, for their boy Alannon, who was abducted by Queensland spies; he is dead by the time of the book, but the Royal Blood he passed on certainly has an impact on his grandson.
- Most of A Song of Ice and Fire is devoted to this. They start calling it The War of the Five Kings in the second or third book. In the Back Story there are more, such as the Dance of the Dragons, the Blackfyre Rebellionsnote and Robert's Rebellion.
- Discworld's Ankh-Morpork has a number of Civil Wars in its backstory, though the narrator makes clear that many were accidental, overblown in the retelling, and generally not very competent affairs. It is mentioned that while the Patrician, Lord Vetinari, has created a time of relative peace under his rule, he has done so by playing increasingly small factions against each other, to the point where, although everyone is technically still fighting a civil war, no one can do enough damage or make enough money out of it to become a threat. The Night Watch books in particular utilize the concept.
- Don Quixote travels to Barcelona, a Spanish province that is at a Civil War at The Cavalier Years
- The Wizarding Wars of Harry Potter. Presumably Voldemort had his eye on global conquest, but the books focus on his attempts to fully consolidate power in Britain, and those fighting against him from within.
- The Hanover-Stuart Wars in Waverley.
- For Whom the Bell Tolls is set during, and about, the Spanish Civil War.
- In Christian Nation, a dozen or so American states that are in protest of President Steve Jordan enforcing the Fifty Blessings to be the law of the land, superceding the power of the Constitution, attempt to secede, forming the Secular Bloc States, leading to what was called a "holy war" which ultimately ends with the rogue nations being recaptured and the last holdouts of freedom and democracy being laid siege upon in Manhattan.
- World War Z has one break out in China during the height of the Zombie Apocalypse, between the ruling Communist government (which is insistent on wasting lives on pointless human wave tactics against the zombies) and renegade sections of the military (which realize how stupid those tactics are). This war ultimately ends when a rebel submarine takes out the whole Politburo with a nuclear strike, after which both sides reunite to focus on the zombies.
- The Silerian Trilogy: After the Valdani leave, Sileria's factions devolve into a power struggle between the Alliance and shallaheen versus the various water lords.
Live Action TV
- Two of them on Babylon 5: The Earth Alliance Civil War, and later the Minbari Civil War. Several other civil wars are indicated or implied to happen off-screen after the show's end, such as the Telepath War on Earth and Vir's rebellion against Emperor Londo Molari on Centauri Prime.
- The Dalek Civil War in Remembrance of the Daleks.
- There was another Dalek Civil War all the way back in The Evil of the Daleks, between the "Human Factor" Daleks created by the Doctor, and the normal Daleks led by the Emperor.
- The Unification War in the backstory of Firefly, by virtue of its intended analogizing to the The American Civil War.
- The fight of the Federation against the Maquis in the Star Trek franchise veers from this to portraying them as merely a terrorist group, Depending on the Writer.
- Star Trek: The Next Generation had a rather short-lived (in broadcast terms) civil war in the Klingon Empire, instigated by the House of Duras when Picard (acting as arbiter) snubbed their blatant attempt to install a Puppet King. It lasted two episodes and ended as soon as the Federation stopped the Romulans from supplying the Duras, leading to their quick defeat.
- Supernatural:
- Season 6 involves a civil war in Heaven, as the Council of Angels fragments after season five's Screw Destiny ending. On one side, Archangel Raphael and those who think the Apocalypse should be restarted. On the other, Castiel and those he's convinced to try this "free will" thing. There's plenty of spillover onto Earth, although most of it is left to our imagination. It gets so bad Castiel is willing to work with Crowley, then give up on free will altogether and declare himself the new God after absorbing the souls of Purgatory. This ends badly.
- In Season 9 the remaining angels are all thrown out of Heaven and sent to Earth. Soon multiple factions are fighting a nasty civil war amongst themselves over what the angels should do next. Angels who prefer to remain neutral are hunted down and killed by all the warring factions. There is also a civil war going on in Hell as the Demon Knight Abbaddon has returned and challenged Crowley's position as King of Hell.
- Comments from Castiel's former followers in Season 7, as well as Metatron in Season 8, suggest that the fighting never actually stopped. It's just that the spillover doesn't reach Earth again until the angels fall in mass at the end of Season 8.
- Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.:
- The show spends the last portion of its first season dealing with the infighting between loyal SHIELD agents and those who served HYDRA. By the time Season 2 starts, however, this conflict is over, allowing SHIELD to focus on HYDRA's external organization.
- The second half of Season 2, however, deals with another SHIELD civil war, this time between Coulson's rebuilt but traditionally run group, and Robert Gonzales' "real SHIELD", which is dedicated to more transparency and equality among its agents, but has a more hardline approach to dealing with superhumans. That one ended when Coulson revealed Nick Fury was still alive, not to mention his connection to the Avengers. Gonzales wisely ceased further hostilities, giving into Coulson's suggestion to merge amicably.
- Rome: Much of the series is centered around the civil wars of the late Roman Republic. In the first season Julius Caesar crosses the Rubicon after he's declared an outlaw by the Senate, emerging victorious over Pompey Magnus and his allies. After his assassination the Caesarian and conservative factions declare a truce. Then a three-way civil war erupts between a rogue Mark Antony, Octavian, and Brutus and Cassius; Octavian teams up with Antony against Caesar's killers after he had just finished fighting Antony. Finally, there's a civil war between Mark Antony and Cleopatra on the one hand and Octavian on the other, who gives himself absolute power after defeating Antony to end all this infighting for good.
- Tyrant: In the second season there's an islamic insurgency in Abbudin after a gas attack on the rebels leads them to team up with more radical elements. This becomes an all-out civil war between the Al-Fayeed dictatorship, the Army of the Caliphate, and local militia the Red Hand.
Tabletop Games
- The Horus Heresy is one of the biggest setting-defining events of Warhammer 40,000, despite the fact it took place ten thousand years ago in the past. This is due to the fact that the war was so devastating that it resulted in the deaths of trillions, caused the Emperor to essentially die, and cost the Imperium thousands of years of technological innovation, transforming it into a Fascist, but Inefficient dictatorship/theocracy, besieged on all fronts by hostile forces and stuck in Medieval Stasis.
- Happens frequently in BattleTech. The Free Worlds League tend to be at civil war with each other from time to time, and the Clans don't always agree with one another and fight each other just as often during their Invasion. Then there was the FedCom civil war instigated by Katherine Steiner-Davion for control over two states.
- The primary setting of Fate of the Norns: Ragnarok: an eternal winter has set in, the end of the world approaches, and Viking society collapses: cue lots of civil wars for what's left.
Video Games
- Dragon Age II shows the beginning of a civil war between the mages and templars which could potentially spread across the world. The player is forced to choose a side, which is more difficult than it sounds. The conflict is more widely depicted in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
- The first game also contained a conflict between Loghain and the Ferelden nobility.
- As of Asunder (which takes place shortly after II), civil war is also on the horizon in the Orlesian Empire, the most powerful human nation in the setting. This will be detailed in The Masked Empire.
- One of the Awful Truths revealed about the elves in Dragon Age: Inquisition is that this is how the original elven homeland was really destroyed, or at least weakened enough for Tevinter to conquer it.
- In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, there's a civil war raging between the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloak rebellion. You can negotiate peace between the two sides (on account of the pressing threat of the entire world getting eaten by dragons), or join up with one. (Or negotiate peace, then join up with one side and end the war anyway.) The civil war itself is a sterling example of Grey and Gray Morality and Both Sides Have a Point in action, neither side is "right" and both sides have negative elements:
- The Empire is trying to hold onto Skyrim because it needs both the resources and the manpower, especially since they expect a full-scale war with the Aldmeri Dominion in the future. Skyrim also acts as a vital transportation hub, connecting the heart of the Empire to all of its other territories. While the Empire is criticised for not understanding the people of Skyrim or their cultures, they are generally considered fair and just rulers by the common citizens. However, the Empire's vast bureaucracy and weak leadership clog their government with inefficiency.
- The Stormcloaks view the Empire as an oppressive foreign power that is weak and unfit to rule Skyrim, and are violently opposed to the Empire's ban on the worship of the human god Talos (a clause that was reluctantly added to the peace treaty the Empire signed with the Thalmor). However, the Stormcloaks carry a noticeable degree of Fantastic Racism against non-Nord races, and their rebellion is perceived by many as ill-timed and short-sighted, especially in the face of the true threat of the Thalmor.
- The entire war was instigated by the Aldmeri Dominion. The Thalmor's intent was to soften up the Empire for another invasion attempt, though they realize they may have underestimated Ulfric. The Dragonborn getting involved and quickly ending the war in favor of either side will completely derail this plan since it means the Thalmor will either have to face a united Empire or a two front conflict against the Empire and Skyrim. The only truly "wrong" choice for the Dragonborn is to do nothing.
- Halo:
- The Great Schism, which started in the last year of the Human-Covenant War when the Prophet of Truth thought that the Sangheili/Elites had outlived their usefulness and tried to wipe them out with the help of the Jiralhanae/Brutes. It didn't work out so well for him; several Sangheili allied with the humans to destroy the Covenant once and for all. That said, conflict still continues between the Elites and Brutes.
- After the Covenant falls, both the Elites and Brutes begin fighting amongst themselves as much as they've been fighting against each other; the most notable of these intraspecies civil wars is the conflict between the Arbiter's pro-human Elite-led Swords of Sanghelios and Jul 'Mdama's anti-human Elite-led Covenant revival. In particular, the civil conflicts on the Elite homeworld have become so destructive that its population has fallen to less than half of what it was during the time of the Covenant.
- Before the Covenant War, humanity itself was on the brink of civil war, as the fighting between the UNSC and the Insurrectionists spread across the Outer Colonies. The conflict was mostly put on hold once the Covenant started attacking, but after the Great Schism, the Insurrectionists have begun rising up in force again.
- The backstory notes that the Forerunners fought their own fair share of civil wars before their ecumene was solidified.
- In Mass Effect 3, the Robot War between Quarians and the Geth was actually spawned by a Civil War between Quarians who sympathized with the Geth and Quarians who wanted to destroy them all. The Geth only took up arms to defend their friends, but this eventually became "defend themselves" when the quarian sympathizers were rendered into a non-entity.
- The backstory for Star Trek Online reveals that this is pretty much the state of affairs for the Romulans post-Shinzon that got worse post-Hobus Supernova. The backsotry dealt with the war between Tal'Aura's Romulan Star Empire and Donatra's Imperial Romulan State in the aftermath of Shinzon's rebellion while the main bulk of the Romulan Player Character deals with Sela's Romulan Star Empire (ran by the Tal Shiar) going up against D'Tan's Romulan Republic.
- The Alliance-Hierarchy War in Star Control is also a civil war for humanity, because there are humans on both sides: the Earthlings on the side of the Alliance, the Androsynth on the side of the Hierarchy.
- Happens repeatedly in Starcraft. The big reveal in Legacy of the Void is that the Xel'Naga more or less wiped themselves out this way. A rogue faction of Xel'Naga led by Amon grew weary of their duties (they wanted to be gods, not shepherds) and tried to break the Cycle by artificially uplifting the Protoss and the Zerg to use them as weapons. The rest of the Xel'Naga objected and fought against Amon's mad scheme. By the time the dust settled, nearly all of the Xel'Naga had perished.
Web Comics
- Follower starts with the United States on the brink of a civil war, and it just goes down hill from there.
Web Original
- After the takeover of Molossia (now Kickassia), the people of Channel Awesome fracture over the spoils, resulting in one of these: The Nostalgia Critic against everyone else.
- One of these ended a dynasty in the Acasi Empire, which in turn ended a twenty-year war between the empire and the neighboring city-states of Rhael.
- Decades of Darkness sees a lot of these:
- The divergence point is Thomas Jefferson's early death in 1809, starting a series of events that results in New England (along with a disillusioned New York and New Jersey) seceding from the Union, with military help from Britain.
- Spain eventually has its own civil war, which eventually causes it to split back into Castile and Aragon.
- In Brazil, anti-slavery/pro-democracy forces within the military eventually stage a coup against the royal family, who escape with support from the Americans, resulting in the country being divided between an American puppet state in the north and a republic in the south.
- Near the end of the timeline, their losses in the Global War cause Britain and France to break apart into a number of bickering smaller nations.
- Also near the end of the timeline, there's a civil war in Canada (here an autonomous kingdom instead of a dominion) between supporters of the monarchy and a democracy movement. This one isn't resolved by story's end, but it's speculated in-universe that the republicans will succeed in breaking western Canada away, leaving a rump kingdom in Ontario; left unresolved is the fate of Wisconsin, which is the most heavily divided between the two sides.
Western Animation
- The war for Mobius on the Sonic SatAM cartoon.
- In Transformers in general, the default state of Cybertron seems to be a state of civil war to provide a reason for robots to shoot each other. There have also been various internal conflicts within both Autobot and Decepticon, and occasionally Maximal, Predacon, and Vehicon ranks.
- Book 2 of The Legend of Korra starts off with the Northern Water Tribe imposing martial law on the Southern Water Tribe. Considering that the Southern Water Tribe does not recognize Northern leadership and has been allowed to self-govern for almost a century or even longer, this predictably resulted in an insurgency.
- The end of Book 2 revealed that the civil war was built on false pretenses. Northern Chief Unalaq (probably) didn't give a crap about what the South was doing. He instead wanted unfettered, exclusive access to the Southern Spirit Portal located in Southern Water Tribe territory, and the simplest way to do that was to impose martial law as justification to plant a military base around the portal.
- The balkanization of the Earth Kingdom happened off-screen shortly after the events of Book 3. The reunification of the Earth Kingdom led by Kuvira also happened off-screen and was mostly glossed over. However, considering that Kuvira had an army and used it to intimidate city leaders to submit to her leadership makes it easy to speculate that the reunification of the Earth Kingdom likely wasn't gentle.
- In the South Park Imaginationland Trilogy, the war between the Good and Evil Imaginary characters orchestrated by a terrorist cell. Each side had their own separate territory in Imaginationland.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - March 28, 2005 - Google Inc. today announced it has agreed to acquire Urchin Software Corporation, a San Diego, California based web analytics company.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
They'll get a lot of user/website data. Pretty clever move.
[edited by: ThomasB at 3:48 am (utc) on Mar. 29, 2005]
I am told, licenses will remain the same for at least 6 months.
I sure hope you got bad information. I can't imagine that they are selling any/many new licenses at this point. Until we hear what Google is going to do, this basically freezes Urchin's business. I had just finished up my evaluation of Urchin and was days away from purchasing a license for the Profit Suite when this was annouced. Now, I will wait until the end of April to see if Google provides more details. If not, I'll purchase my second choice - NetTracker.
I'm sure this move has the execs at WebTrends, Click Tracks et al. screeeeaming.
Good for google this products are overpriced. Essential for educated SEM, PPC, SEO, and eCommerce. But a niche that charges too much for its product (IMHO). Glad to see google making it affordable for the masses.
