Where Do You Stand: Sleeping With an Ex
by DearSugar 43 Reactions 0 Shares Print
I think we all know by now that just because you've broken up with someone doesn't necessarily mean you've moved on. In fact, even after a breakup, a relationship between two people can continue for months or even years.
While opinions differ on whether or not taking time apart is prolonging the inevitable or actually productive, I wonder what people think about continuing a physical relationship with an ex. Although sometimes it's just harmless fun, most of the time it seems like a way of investing more emotions into a dying a relationship. It's better than sleeping around, but is it a smart choice when it comes to letting go? Ladies, as far as sleeping with an ex goes, where do you stand?

First of all let me say that I am married for over 15yrs. Recently I came in contact with my ex. We went out for lunch an did a lot of talking about our past. One thing led to another and we shared a nice kiss, nothing else afer that. We did continue to talk and eventualy met up at her place. There she was adamant about jumping in bed, I told her that if goes any further we would teckncly be friends with benefits. She totaly agreed with that status and it was great for a while. But she couldnt get past the part of being the "other" woman. Eventualy the proverbial $#\+ hit the fan. I had to break it off with her because my wife had found out that we were tallking and my ex began saying thing that she shouldnt have. To all who are contemplating reuniting with your ex for a quick romp of angry sex.....think about it first. Sex with my ex was unbelivable. She knew what I liked and not to pat myself on the back I did rock her world over & over every time I went to see her. But the problm was that she couldnt let go of the past. If you are going to to it by all means break eachothers back, just remember that it is only sex no mater what words are said during the act....

When I was dating my ex, he broke up with me for HIS ex about 2 years ago. Last weekend we planned a getaway to be together and we slept together. He's still with "that" girl. We were friends but now that this happened, he wont talk to me, he's confused about what he really wants. I told him I need some time apart from him to protect myself. He wont answer my calls, texts or anything. For two years I've struggled and struggled to get over him, he always told me I would always be a big part of his life. Now I feel like I've lost him for good, and it feels like someone ripped my heart out of my chest and crushed it.

I did this before with my ex who I was with for 5 years, we carried on a physical relationship for a year, i then ran away travelling as it was the only thing i could think to do that would help me move on, i then got a new bf who i have been with for 3 yrs, he recently broke up with me and we are doing the same thing.....it's so hard not to, i want to so badly. He said as of the 1st aug we wont anymore but that thought upsets me so much, i hate having to move on!

i had a serious relationship a while back and we were dating for 5 years she was my first in the bedroom and we broke up 4 years ago. however we didnt stop having sex till 3 months ago now although it did create a couple of issues when we tried dating other people because we had to stop sleeping with each other i believe it was a really good choice now becasue we have slept with each other for over 8 years and were still only early 20's we have a lot of our lives to live now i have the best friend in the world from an ex who i can now when im a bit down can comfort me emotionally and physically with no strings attached

I'm currently in this situation. It's weird... neither of us really knows where we stand I guess... friends with benefits and a history, I suppose. I wouldn't call it such an incredibly bad idea, the way other posters have.

My ex-boyfriend and I were broken up for about a year before we resumed a physical relationship. I still wasn't over him and he had dated another girl during our time apart. He just wanted a friend with benefits and I was hoping it would lead to more...which of course it didn't! BAD IDEA!

If I liked the guy enough to sleep with him he wouldn't be my ex. If he broke up with me than I wouldn't be able to be his friend.

I slept with an ex once after we broke up. Yeah, I would never do that again.

I did this for a few months after my ex and I broke up after three years of living together, even though it turns out he had another girlfriend. I didn't see him for a few months and when he finally came over one day months later to pick up some of his things, he texted me a day later over and over trying to get me to sleep with him (he was still with the same girl). This time I turned him down, even though I wasn't attached to anyone. I'm realized I'm too good for that. Two months have gone by and I have an amazing boyfriend now, but my ex recently emailed me wanting to go to lunch or have drinks, but said, "just as friends of course." I know he'll end up trying to sleep with me because that's the kind of guy he is--biggest ego ever--but it won't happen. ever. Bad idea.

A Ex is a Ex for a reason. It didn't work out the first time, or maybe the second. so just move on
yadiet 6 years
I did this once with an Ex for quite some time. We were hiding it from all of our friends. We would make it seem that infront of others we were distant and could not stand one another. But after everyone was gone it was a different story. Needless to say, its something I will never do again.

are you kidding me? ex is an EX. whether you ended it or he did... it was ended for some reason or another. however, if you had intentions to possibly get back with him, and you were single and so was he, yeah.. maybe it would be okay then.. but otherwise.. i would say, no no no no no. especially NO if he has a girlfriend or you have a boyfriend.

I've done it or more than one occasion, and I can say that its NOT a good idea. Especially w/ my last relationship, I broke up w/ my ex and then we hooked up two months later and had amazing sex but it went right back into a relationiship and I was like 'oh no, this wont work!' The emotions get back in and all it becomes is sex - which is not ALL that when nothing else is there. So if you break up with someone, BREAK AWAY from them too. No calls, no meeting up, and definitely NO SEX!!

i must be the only one who's done this and doesnt think it's a bad idea haha. i've had sex with an ex before and i wasn't the one who was emoitionally still attached, he was.he was the one begging me to get back with him, i was just in it for the booty. there's no reason why a guy should be the only one who's in it just to feed their own sexual appetite. When I have sex with an ex, or a friend who i've had sex before the first thing I say is "it's just sex, let's get that clear, I dont plan on marrying you" for me, I just like the comfort level. has NOTHING to do with me wanting to get back together or start a relationship.

Honestly, I've only had one serious relationship, but we still had feelings and loved each other after we broke-up, so we continued to sleep together. Then, we got back together. He was a bit weaker because I saw it as two people having sex, and it made him realize how much he truly loved me. This went on for about seven months, but now, we're in a stable, long-term, loving relationship. However, it was emotionally tolling and afterwards, I spent a lot of time feeling used and crying. I think when you are emotionally stable with the end of a relationship, there's no problem with being friends (with benefits), but if there are ANY feelings remaining for this person, then it's best not inflame them by sleeping together.

haha i so thought of a sex and the city quote that is PERFECT for this: sex with an ex can be depressing. if its good, you don't have it anymore. if its bad, well, you just had sex with an ex hahahaha
lilwildone1202 6 years
ive re-slept with two exes. one was more like a friends with benefits, hey we aren't compatible as boyfriend/girlfriend but the sex was still good so... it really worked out too bc we both knew how bad we were as a couple so noone started to like the other one. then my other ex was a 'sorta lets get back together' sex which in a way im glad we did it because the second (and last time) we had sex after a break up i realized that he looked like a horny midget while we were in the middle of it and couldnt stop laughing and then realize 'how could i ever be with someone who i just want to laugh so hard at in the middle of sex'. so that was the end of that lol i think that if you can get past the whole 'sex=relationship' thing then sometimes sex with an ex can be fun

i've done it before with previous ex's but i actually saw my recent ex yesterday for the first time in like 7 months and boy did i want him!! but, i know hooking up with him again just going to make this worse and stir up all sorts of feelings and drama that I KNOW i dont need... so just say NO!

Why is it better than sleeping around? As long as you are safe, I think it's better to sleep with someone else rather than an ex. Sleeping together will only prolong the pain, plus you might not use protection with an ex, even though he might sleep with others. Statistically, you're less likely to catch anything if you have several partners and are always safe with them.

lauraxtc 6 years
Been there. It depends on how serious you were with the person you were with. Me and my current bf broke up a lot in the beginning and kept seeing eachother. I would tell myself not to, but deep inside, I loved him and loved being with him. I enjoyed how I felt with him. At times, I would tell myself to avoid him because he would end up hurting me. Luckily we are more serious and stabled than ever before. If we were to breakup again, I don't think I would continue this routine though. Go figure.

I agree, this is a bad idea. You end up getting back together and prolonging the inevitable. Just make a clean break.
Lavinie 6 years
bad bad bad bad idea... been there done that - never will do that one again. it makes things so confusing and so hard to let go of that person. it's better to treat an ex like a band-aid rip them right off and go cold turkey....
Squeaks26 6 years
I have always gone back to an ex after we break up. This, in my eyes, is better than sleeping around. But as you would expect it makes moving on harder and then I have to cut them out of my life forever. If I didn't do this we probably could have become friends.
sunnyheart 6 years
Every time I have chosen to do this, it led to me getting back together with the ex--which in the long run was a BAD idea. I've promised myself to not do it again, and I hope I keep it!

Nope Nope and Nope. Never have, never will. They are an ex for a reason. We can still hang out, but that's as far as it goes! If they want it that badly, they should have thought twice about leaving ;)

ive never personally done this but i would imagine it would be hard to let go, especially if this was a serious relationship

So How Do We Improve Public Education? A Perspective…
This week I had a couple meetings with candidates and policy makers (I will not mention their names so as not to damage their reputations.). These meetings were little more than casual discussions about local school issues and broader education issues. The main question, as always, is how do we improve public education? I gave some suggestions during those conversations but wanted to follow up with a little more detail than I provided on the spot. The answer to question is complex and most politicians and policy makers aren't willing to go for the complex because it doesn't fit nicely enough on a piece of literature about how awesome they are at "reforming" education. It involves changing our culture of devaluing people who chose … Continue reading
The Most Important Education Article You Should Read Today…
We all want to improve public education in this country. We all want to make our children the most competitive in a global economy. We all want but we do not all understand that it will take more than tearing down teachers in order to create that system. In the United States, where salaries are low and the profession is held in low esteem, top talent chooses to go in professional directions other than teaching. Or, if high performers do choose education as a career, they don't stay in classrooms very long. Attrition rates among teachers are skyrocketing. A recent study by the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future (NCTAF) found that America's teacher dropout problem is spiraling out of control, with attrition growing … Continue reading
The Most Important Education Article(s) You Should Read TODAY…
It's always nice to read something other than the teacher bashing and bubble test pedaling of the corporate education reformers. So, here are a couple good articles about reforms that actually work and what the United States would really have to do to get there (hint: it's going to take more than firing teachers and a bubble test). The article is from Britain but describes how Finland has come to dominate the world of education: All students in Finland receive a free education from when they start at seven years of age until they complete their university studies. As a result 80 per cent of Finns attend university. During their educational journey all pupils receive free school meals, resources and materials, transport and support services. … Continue reading
Republican Senator Claims Teachers Shouldn't WORRY About Ending Seniority Based Layoffs
Oh you silly teachers, I don't think you should worry that we are ending seniority/experience based layoffs and replacing it with an unproven system, claims Republican State Senator Gen Olson. Don't you get it? You experienced teachers are great and will obviously be kept employed because you are great but we just can't stand by and base budget cutting layoffs on your really great experience. Hopefully that clears up any confusion as to why I think your experience is great and valuable but really ought to be ended as a reason for employing you. You have to love it when someone gets caught up in a logical loop…

A Load Of Crap AND The Most Important Education Article You Should Read TODAY…
An editorial appeared in the St. Cloud Times today praising recent legislation that removes experience as the determining factor in teacher layoffs during budget cuts. The article, by the President of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, conveniently leaves out some facts and endorses methods of improvement that have no history of being effective solutions. Another article from the New York Review of Books by Diane Ravitch, takes a look at the lessons Finnish schools have to offer and once again demonstrates how we have completely ignored the important lessons they have to offer for school improvement. Predictably, the first article expresses support for linking student achievement (remember, that's a fancy way of saying bubble tests) with teacher evaluations… The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce advocates legislation … Continue reading

Gary Stein | October 18, 2012 | Comments
No matter what you're doing for a brand, you have to put it into a larger framework that understands and incorporates the non-linear way people engage with brands.
I have almost no idea what I do for a living anymore.
I have a job (and a really good one at that) and I'm always busy. I joke around with my kids that my job is to sit in front of a computer all day, pressing buttons (the trick, really, is to not only know which buttons to press, but in what order to press them!). I suppose that is reasonably accurate and it is what the space aliens observing our planet see from their orbiting battle station. But the underlying question is what is the specific thing I'm trying to achieve by pressing those buttons?
Not so many years ago, it was crystal clear: I was crafting strategies that would get people to want to buy products. There were lots of ways to do that, but that was pretty much the only goal. That was what me (and the agency) were measured against.
Today, that isn't so simple. In fact, I'm writing this from my desk right now and before me are some documents related to the projects that I'm currently working on. Here is a sample of what I'm doing:
Generally speaking, I like to think of what I do as advertising. It is a time-honored craft that has remained consistent at its core, if not in its practices. I find some comfort in thinking that what I do is advertising, but as I look at the stuff I need to work on, it is clear that we are in a totally different world where the line between the marketing and the product is massively blurred and the channels of communication have both fragmented as well as converged.
What a wonderful mess.
Virgin Airlines Blends, Well, Everything
A great example of this blend of marketing, advertising, and customer service came through yesterday, courtesy of Virgin Airlines. The airline is about to launch a remarkable new service that blends technology and the flying experience. Leveraging Salesforce's Chatter platform, Virgin will make the flying experience more customizable and more social. Maybe the biggest thing it realized is that technology enables the company to link a lot of its employees with its customers.
Watch the video, but the key line for me is when the dude in a cool suit with longish hair (he does work for Richard Branson after all) says, "This linear communication is no longer valid." That, ultimately, is what this is all about.
I know I set the Wayback Machine too often in this column, but indulge me once more. In the past, agencies waited patiently for a product to be finished before they launched into doing their work of talking about the product. People tend to believe that the shift in media has led us to a shift in the way we market. People had to choose to go to a website or click on a banner (as opposed to being interrupted by a commercial), so that meant we had to provide real value inside the communication.
That thinking is mistaken. Or rather, it is only looking at the surface issue. Yes, channels have changed. But more importantly, business has changed in ways that make individual sales far less important than building long-term relationships. Essentially, since product development cycles are so fast and the number of options is so large, brands need to focus on making many sales and building a reputation over the long term with a consumer, if they are going to be successful. In some particular cases, like cellphones and other personal electronics, that first sale you make to a consumer actually loses the brand money.
That is why I see the moves that Virgin is making as being so powerful and why it makes sense to me, in some odd way, that I have all these different sorts of projects in front of me. We have to stop the linear approach to communications and that means that we have to think completely about all the ways that consumers are coming into contact with the brand.
The big lesson for me, here, is this: no matter what you are doing for a brand, you have to put it into a larger framework that understands and incorporates the myriad channels and the non-linear way people engage with brands. It doesn't matter what you are doing. You may be hired to write the third paragraph of a five-paragraph email. Think about that task inside this larger framework.
Otherwise, we are never going to catch up to consumers who have already deeply integrated their media channels and habits. That is, ultimately, the way that I have addressed these odd assortment of tasks that are scattered about my desk. I think about each one as part of a larger framework that is focused back on that core task: convincing people to buy products.
That, at least, makes my day go a little easier. So I can get back to what really matters: watching the @SFGiants march toward another World Series win.

Suzi's Blog
Suzen's Apple and Rye Stuffing
There is a lovely work called the Thanksgiving Cookbook by Holly Garrison that has a Calvados Rye Stuffing. I've blogged the recipe and we loved it. Thing is, this Thanksgiving our grandson Daniel was with us. It just seemed a bit of a stretch to incorporate that Calvados into something a 12-year old was about to consume.
So, Suzen went cautious. We kept most of the recipe, but added more stock in place of the Calvados. Daniel was happy eating it in volumes. I'm still working on the leftovers.
Suzen's Apple and Rye Stuffing
Yield: 2 ½ cups
- ¼ pound butter
- 5 celery ribs, finely chopped [2 cups]
- 1 large onion, finely chopped [1 cup]
- 3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and chopped [about 3 cups]
- 9 cups of bread rye bread pieces, dried and broken into postage stamp-sized pieces
- 2 teaspoons dried sage leaves, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup turkey stock
Heat the butter in a large skillet until melted. Pour off ¼ cup and set aside. Add the celery, onion, and apples to the butter remaining tin the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until tender-crisp. Combine the skillet mixture, bread, sage, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and toss gently until well mixed. Drizzle the ⅔ cup of the stock over the ingredients and mix well. If the stuffing mixture is too dry, add the remainder of the stock. You can add water as well. The mixture is properly moist when it hold together when lightly pressed in the palms of your hands.
Place in a greased pan big enough to support a 2-inch baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 45 to 60 minutes. If the top of the bread begins to singe, pull it.

Jamaican-Spiced Pumpkin Pie: Mixing Pumpkin and Coconut
"Pumpkin pie," my grandson Daniel replied. He was ordering Thanksgiving dessert.
"Find that recipe," Suzen commanded.
We have this recipe, the recipe, for pumpkin pie that is sensational. Haven't made it for a couple of years. I go to search to find it.
I search. And I search. It's not on the computer. My forehead is damp. I go through twenty cookbooks. I can't find it. My forehead is wet.
And, to make it worse, Suzen and I can't remember why it was so good. I think it was light and fluffy. I seem to remember that it had booze, but maybe not.
Failure. Total failure.
"Let me try," Suzen said. No beads of sweat on her forehead. In an hour more, she said, "Don't worry." She'd googled, compared, and found this very interesting pumpkin pie that is unlike anything we have ever sampled.
What make this recipe distinctive. It uses coconut milk. No, the resulting pie does not have a coconut tinge to it, but it does have an exceptional smooth consistency that makes you think you are eating silk.
This is now our "holiday-special-gotta-have" pumpkin pie. One bite and it will be yours, too.
Jamaican-Spiced Pumpkin Pie
Yield: 1 9" pie, enough for 8 people
- One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree
- 1 ¼ cups unsweetened coconut milk [full fat only, stirred or shaken well before using]
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon table salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons spiced rum [Captain Morgan]
- 1 blind-baked pie shell
Position a rack in the center of the oven, set a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet on the rack, and heat the oven to 425°F.
In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin, coconut milk, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg until smooth. Whisk in the eggs and then the rum, until the mixture is smooth. Pour the filling into the piecrust.
Put the pie on the heated baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Bake until the center of the pie no longer wobbles when the pan is nudged [a slight jiggle is fine], an additional 45 to 55 minutes.
Transfer to a rack and cool completely before serving. The pie can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.

As the Western Wyoming Mustangs prepare for the 2013-14 campaign there is a cautious optimism felt by the coaching staff and players alike. Five returners and ten newcomers make up the squad with hopes of improvement after a 9-21 season a year ago in Coach Ryan Ortons first season with the Western Wyoming program.
At the point guard position the Mustangs went out and signed three players with unique skill sets to improve in an area that was a deficiency in 2012-13. Isaiah Parros (Denver, CO/Highlands Ranch HS) helped lead his team to an Elite Eight finish last year while averaging 11.8 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 4.4 apg and 4.0 spg. He set school records in steals for a game (9) and for a season (101). Cameron Epps (Dallas, TX/Allen HS) led the Eagles to the first round of the District Playoffs last year and had averages of 13.0 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 3.5 apg and 2.3 spg. Rounding out the trio is Dimitri Saliba (West Valley, UT/Hunter HS) who, after a year away from basketball, impressed the coaching staff last spring while visiting Western. Saliba averaged 16.9 ppg his senior season at Hunter HS.
On the wing is where a good portion of experience lies for Western. Sophomores Daveon Gibson (9.7 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 2.1 apg), Jonathon Mines (9.2 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 1.5 apg) and Mike Pelo (13.3 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 1.8 apg) will be relied upon early and often in their respective second seasons under Coach Orton. Pedro Faria (3.8 ppg, 2.2 rpg) also returns and is capable of playing multiple positions for the team. Newcomers on the wing include Jeremy Head (Nome, AK/Nome-Beltz HS) and Jarred Laws (Anchorage, AK/East HS) who both had outstanding prep careers at their respective high schools in Alaska.
The front line was another area of need which was addressed with the 2013 recruiting class. Dom Williams (3.1 ppg, 1.8 rpg) returns for his second season and has really impressed the coaching staff during fall workouts. In addition to Williams, the Mustangs signed five players 66 or taller to add some much needed depth up front. Colton Barnett (Castle Dale, UT/Emery HS) returns to Western after being a key reserve on the 2010-11 team that won the Region IX Tournament and finished seventh at the National Tournament. Newcomers include Stefan Wright (Adelaide, Australia), Jonas Santana (Canary Islands, Spain), Namdi Okonkwo (Allen, TX/Westwind Prep) and Isaac Reimer (Lynden, WA/Lynden Christian HS).
With a challenging non-conference schedule on the horizon which includes games against tough Region 18 teams Snow College, USU-Eastern, Salt Lake CC and Colorado Northwestern in addition to tournaments at Sheridan College, College of Southern Idaho as well as their own Thanksgiving tournament it will be important for this group to come together quickly to prepare for the always difficult Region IX conference schedule.

oooh, how lovely! I wonder if my landlord would mind if I, er, "cultivated" more of the fire escape...
Wow.. I wonder if she can come over and improve on my patio! I love the climbing plants but I'm wary of them taking over if I get too busy.
It looks like a lovely place to sit with a good book and some iced tea. Cozy garden.
Fantastic! All the plants are so healthy and happy! I would love to read a book on this patio.
I can't "See All Photos". Yesterday, a few opened & today I get a blank window. Is it just me???
Hey! You posted my photos. Thanks for all the props. Actually this garden is the result of 2 years of hit and miss. When I moved in the patio looked like a beige prison cell. Really depressing with no views so I created one. I had to experiment with what plants would work with the limited sunlight I get and I killed a few things before it got to this. I'm always changing it around so it looks a little different now. I live across the street from a Longs Drug that has an amazing garden center and almost all my plants are from their markdown section. Every time I think I can't fit any more I manage to squeeze some more on this 11 x 11 deck. I think the final touch will be a fountain of some sort. (Full disclosure: I have a satellite dish in there too so it's not all rainbows and puppies)

Controversy seems to be second nature to Salman Khan. The star, whose latest film "Dabangg" has set the cash registers ringing, stoked a row with his remark that the 26/11 attack attracted "too much hype" as only
"elite people were targetted". Salman has apologised for his comments, which he said were "twisted".
"The interview has been twisted. I saw it myself, the way it is coming across on TV, it is sounding insensitive. I was just saying life is equal for both rich and poor, some attacks get more media coverage and some don't. Why is that? Every human life is important, " Salman, 44, told Aaj Tak news channel.
"Any attack or terrorist attack in the world is unpardonable. A terrorist has no nationality, no religion and no guts. I have complete faith in our intelligence agencies. I've always had faith in our police and armed forces. I did not want to hurt anybody's sentiments and if I have hurt anybody's sentiments then I am really, really sorry, " he added.
His father Salim Khan and brother Arbaaz came out in his defence, insisting that Salman is not "articulate and political" and one should "understand the intent behind his remarks".
In an interview to Pakistani channel Express TV, Salman said: "Too much hype has been created around the 26/11 attacks because elite people were targetted. Attacks have happened in trains and small towns too, but no one talked about it so much."
He also said: "Everybody knows that the Pakistani government was not behind it and it was a terrorist attack. Our security had failed. We have had lot of attacks earlier, and all of them were not from Pakistan. They were from within."
Salman's father Salim Khan, a well-known scriptwriter, said his son "should not" have made the remarks and should apologise, but added that Salman is not "articulate and political" and it could have been a "wrong choice of words".
"Whatever I've heard, he should not have said that. It is wrong... He is not a very articulate person or a political person. It could have been the wrong choice of words, " Salim, 74, told Aaj Tak news channel.
Actor-producer Arbaaz Khan defended his brother saying: "Whatever Salman said was just his opinion and he had no intention of hurting anybody's sentiments."
Meanwhile, Salman wrote on micro-blogging site Twitter.com: "Every human life has equal value and any act of terror, anywhere in the world is unpardonable, be it 9/11 or 26/11."
"Next time mein apne sub interview khud bhi record karoonga, kya bolte ho? Takeh yeh sub controversies nahi ho (Next time, I will record all my interviews myself. So that such controversies can be avoided)."
This is not the first time the actor, described as the "enfant terrible" of Bollywood, has run into trouble. His first brush with controversy was when his car ran into a bakery in Mumbai on Sep 28, 2002, killing one person sleeping on the pavement outside the shop and injuring three others. However, he escaped the charges of culpable homicide for rash and negligent driving.
He had to spend time in a Jodhpur jail in 2007 for hunting the endangered chinkara deer near Jodhpur on Sep 28, 1998 while filming Sooraj Barjatya's blockbuster "Hum Saath Saath Hain".
He was also reported to have slapped a television journalist for asking nosy questions about his relationship with Aishwarya Rai when the two were supposed to be a couple.
Now his comments on 26/11 evoked strong protests and condemnation from political leaders who termed them "unwarranted and irresponsible".
"We strongly condemn Salman Khan's unwarranted and irresponsible comments and that too to a Pakistani channel. How can he say only the elite were targeted?
Is he not aware of the common people killed at the railway station and also the security forces? Moreover he has no right to give the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) and the Pakistani government a clean chit... He should immediately apologise, " BJP spokesperson Syed Shahnawaz Hussain told.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan too slammed the comments, saying: "The conspiracy was hatched in Pakistan. There is no room for his or anyone else's opinion when the court's verdict is out".
The opposition Shiv Sena also condemned the comments. Congress spokesperson Anant Gadgil dismissed Salman's comments as baseless.
Public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said: "Salman's comments are illogical and an actor shouldn't have commented on terror attacks in this manner. The terror attacks can't be classified on the basis of caste and religion."
The Nov 26-29, 2008 attack left 166 people dead as 10 terrorists from Karachi conducted a coordinated shooting and bombing attack across south Mumbai.

Voting under Threat of a Wood Shampoo
I think it's more Chicago politics in practice. The rulers might play the race card to get votors on their side...but the rulers may be of any race--which is a slight improvement over years past I think the rulers of such a system thrive on a large CONTSTANT layer of poor mostly dependent votors---which is mostly women & kids. And ACORN volunteers might enter the poor neighborhoods to roust out registered votors (or restaurants or even the dead to vote as in Lake Co. Indiana's recent massive ACORN vote fraud)...but these political machines all THRIVE on a large layer of poor. Which is mostly minority groups... There is some level of improved race relations, (as compared to my mom's time) but it comes at a price---and thus the status of WOMEN ,girls has declined...with a large, dependable, even dependent group of single family moms to mostly vote for the left. (Just translate some of the language used to describe girls, young women. If it were modified to be talking about persons of color---the JUSTICE dept. would leap into action.) Thus, it seems BAD to be racist...but okay to use women...or to encourage males & females to not commit to each other or to the next generation! I do not use this description for mere, unsubstantiated shock value, but it seems the government today offers services to girls, young women similar to that which a --- man who rents out young girls, women would offer. Have to get my son (adopted from an underage probably rented out teen) off to school.
Allen wrote: "(nor do I think you're claiming so either)" I don't think the Obama Administration is complicit. However, many individual African Americans may take this verdict-without-consequences to mean "We'll prosecute you vigorously to satisfy the public, but then let you go. (wink, nudge)" And even if that's not what the Administration intends, it could still get very interesting if that's what John Q. Panther thinks as he contemplates some rowdiness to further an agenda.
Rolley, Indeed! Lee, I'm not ready to say that's what's going on (nor do I think you're claiming so either); but I think the Administration's self-interest in this matter doesn't help anything either. Benjamin, Judgment & penalty, commensurate with the law.
Allen, How would you have had the whole thing handled?
Reminds me of the cartoon parent…. "Susie, if you hit Johnny one more time…†(Susie hits Johnny again) "Susie! I mean it! If you hit Johnny one more time…†(Hits him again) "Susie! Do you think I'm kidding? Don't hit Johnny again, or you're in for it!†--- "Lord, what fools these mortals be!†--- A Midsummer Nights Dream Act III, scene ii, 115
"vigorous prosecution"??!?!? I heard many other pre-election anecdotes about how African Americans assumed that an Obama victory would mean members of their race were suddenly above the law. This could get interesting.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
July 7, 2010
To say what happened in a house in the small community of Assaria is a shock to the residents here is quite the understatement.
Don Long is one of the local residents who just had to see the crime scene and police presence here to believe this really happened in Assaria.
"This is really shocking in a small town like this. You just don't expect something like this in a small town. This is something that usually happens in the city," Long said.
But, it's a taste of big city life that people here could do without. Yellow ribbons around trees in towns like Assaria, are usually to remember a soldier away in the service, not to mark a crime. Valerie Paulson was stabbed to death late Tuesday. Her estranged husband Michael was arrested.
"She lost her life and this is something that doesn't normally happen in a community so small so, I think, a lot of people are reflecting today on what has happened." Assaria Resident, Kelli Rundquist said.
Lisa Crabtree lives near Michael and Valerie Paulson's home. She says she knew Valerie from visits at the post office and because their children played together. She never suspected any problems at the home.
"It's just weird because it's right there and you know them and you watch the news all the time and things always happen farther away and, you know, it's just not near home. But it's a shock for our community because it's just a quiet town and nothing ever happens here," Crabtree said.
The Swedish heritage community of just fewer than 500 isn't used to this kind of attention. This murder comes soon after the shooting death of a nine-year-old allegedly by his 14-year-old brother, not far from Tuesday night's incident.
"Yea, that was a big shocker too," Rundquist said " I did know that family real well."
But the experts would remind us that domestic violence could happen anywhere, big city or small town. Sadly, that's something folks in Assaria are finding out.

|Quality care close to home.
About Cottage Hospital
Cottage Hospital is 25-bed critical access hospital located in Woodsville, NH serving the beautiful Upper Connecticut River Valley. The Cottage family has just over 250 employees, 37 active medical staff providers and 35 volunteers.
Cottage Hospital has recently undergone a multi-million dollar renovation which was designed to bring clinical services together for easier patient access. Areas revamped to become more patient-friendly include: Diagnostic Imaging, Laboratory, Day Surgery and The Pain Clinic.
Cottage's IT department has been working to strengthen networking to accommodate cutting edge technology, including soon-to-be implemented Tele-Psych bringing specialty physicians to patients' bedsides. In Radiology, reporting is faster with the addition of Voice Recognition technology. Reports previously generated in two days by onsite Radiologists are now completed, on average, in less than 5 minutes. In the Emergency Department, a computer system called MEDHOST allows nurses and physicians to place orders and chart at the patients' bedside. For patients who have been admitted, a new medication dispensing system, EMAR, designed for patient safety and to prevent medication errors has been implemented.
So what's next for Cottage Hospital? More patient focused care initiatives including transparency quality care measures, improving patient stays and patient outcomes, and of course, continued collaboration among staff and a dedication to provide quality care…close to home for our friends, neighbors and visitors.

South Cove, Kawau Island
South Cove, Kawau Island
As the name implies South Cove is at the southern end of the island and is serviced by an excellent public wharf. From the wharf you can fish, or jump into the sea. There is a nearby floating raft to swim to and a communal picnic area with barbecue, petanque, and even a music system. Some moorings are available but boats are easily towed up the private road, one of the few on the island, through native bush to the South Cove houses. Modes of transport differ from quad bikes to golf carts to cars with character. All are handy for carrying supplies up the road or all the fish you are likely to catch. It is also easily covered by foot, even if the first hill is a bit of a challenge. And if none of these suit the helipad is 200m from the house.
About 15 people live here permanently. Many of the other home owners spend a lot of time here and, of course, come summer holidays most people are around. We have a great community spirit and residents have chainsawed and cleared walking tracks throughout the reserve which borders the sea and South Cove - even one called 'Fairy Walk' which cuts through the reserve below our house to the secluded beach - much to the granddaughters delight.
It is a perfect place for all ages, safe for the children to roam, to gather shells, discover rock pool inhabitants, to see the occasional wallaby, feed cheeky wekas, and sometimes see a pod of orca whales pass below the house. Its a place to fish, lie back and relax, forget which day of the week it is and leave the iron at home!

Stanley Tucci
Movie Review: 'Transformers: Age of Extinction'
With this fourth installment in the "Transformers" franchise from director Michael Bay, I've been magically transformed from a bored viewer into a really bored viewer.
Movie Review: 'Muppets Most Wanted'
Like its seven big-screen predecessors, this Muppets movie puts a wide smile on your face and leaves it there.
Movie Review: 'Mr. Peabody & Sherman'
Will the younger members of the audience get all the irreverently skewed historical references? No. Does that matter? Not really.
Movie Review: 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire'
This first sequel delves deeper into the resonant themes introduced in its predecessor, expands the mythology, reflects the horrors in its titular "entertainment," and further fleshes out the primary characters.
Movie Review: 'The Fifth Estate'
The Fifth Estate may fancy itself a cyberthriller, but the thrills are few and far between.
Emmy Winning Stars Who Are Also Authors
Every Emmy award winning actor can claim star-studded success on screen, but few can also consider themselves successful authors. These books show how some stars can make us cry, laugh, smile, and snicker on the screen as well as in a book.
Movie Review: 'The Company You Keep'
Director Robert Redford's star-studded, thought-provoking political thriller (which he also stars in and produced) is yet another work for him to be proud of.
Movie Review: 'Jack the Giant Slayer'
Jack's his name, tenant farming is his game, and he apparently wants to climb that Hollywood beanstalk and join the likes of Alice, Snow White, and Hansel & Gretel.
Bill Wine's Winter Movies Preview
Look for these mainstream titles to open on theatre screens during the first few months of 2013.
Movie Review: 'The Hunger Games'
Jennifer Lawrence hits the thespian bull's-eye once again as the "girl on fire," carrying the movie on her shoulders with a never-a-false-move star turn.
Movie Review: 'Margin Call'
This is a vivid snapshot of an early stage of 2008's financial crisis that exposes, provokes, disturbs, and even sickens.
Movie Review: 'Captain America: The First Avenger'
There's nothing like crisp movie making execution — a spirited mix of action, sci-fi fantasy, humor, nostalgia, and romance — to blast through one's enough-already reservations and been-there-done-that fatigue.

"Happiness is your dentist telling you it won't hurt and then having him catch his hand in the drill."Stock Phrase uttered by a character who is about to do something potentially nasty to someone. They tell their victim that what they are about to do won't hurt at all. This often turns out to be a blatant lie. This is often done by doctors or friends of the patient who genuinely mean well, and are just trying to help them. However, it can also be used as a sarcastic Pre-Mortem/Pre-Asskicking One-Liner by someone who is about to inflict a lot of deliberate pain on their victim. Another common variant is "This may hurt a little", or alternately, "You might feel a slight tingling sensation". This variation tends to be popular with Mad Scientists. A particularly psychopathic or dickish character may instead say, "I won't feel a thing." Definitely Truth in Television, as anyone knows who has been to the dentist, although it is increasingly averted as anesthesia gets better and starts to get used more widely. This is also a commonly-used phrase when children who are Afraid of Needles are involved. Often used to set up False Reassurance.

The game time has been set for the annual Palmetto State Showdown when the University of South Carolina travels to Clemson University on Nov. 24.
The Atlantic Coast Conference announced the 7 p.m. game time on Monday following both the Gamecocks and Tigers wins on Saturday. The game will air on either ESPN or ESPN 2.
The historic rivalry pits the Gamecocks (8-2) vs. the Tigers (9-1), both ranked in the BCS Top 20 standings. Both South Carolina and Clemson had home wins on Saturday, with the Gamecocks beating Arkansas 38-20 at home on Saturday while Clemson defeated Maryland 45-10.
South Carolina has defeated Clemson the past three years, though the Tigers lead the series 65-40-4. In 2011, the Gamecocks won 34-13. Clemson's home record against South Carolina is 16-9-1. The last time the Gamecocks won four-straight against Clemson was from 1951 to 1954, which is also their longest winning streak in the series.
The Clemson-Carolina rivalry pits fans, family members and even the head coaches against each other across the state.
Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney and South Carolina Head Coach Steve Spurrier have received a lot of attention for verbal sparring matches in the past and most recently after Gamecock running back Marcus Lattimore was injured.

I promised to folks on GDC that I'll post this once I buy the issue of Kerrang! it's from, and then, cleaning my room, I found a large fat envelope labelled GREEN DAY, containing a lot of clippings from magazines published from 2003 to 2006 that a friend in UK was sending to me and that I was probably too chaotic to look at. So…still not sure about the exact issue of Kerrang! (help is welcome, obviously!), but this is creepy-funny. Enjoy.

Sweet Affinity
A part of my self that is lost in summer
can be found in autumn wandering thru the countryside
down an ethereal path that leads all the way back to my heart;
as if the autumn breeze that sets the trees
to releasing what is deep inside of them -
simultaneously awakens me to what is deep in me.
Autumn starts and suddenly Grace appears on the steps of my heart
with the key. It's such a sweet affinity.

The Secretariat of the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971) presents its compliments to the Permanent Mission of ----- and has the honour to refer to the following:
The Ramsar Wetland Conservation Award was established in 1996 by Resolution VI.18 of the 6th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties to the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971) in order to recognise and honour the contributions of individuals, organisations, and governments around the world towards promoting the conservation and wise use of wetlands. It has been awarded four times so far on the occasion of meetings of the Conference of the Contracting Parties (1999, 2002, 2005, and 2008). Information on these editions of the Ramsar Award and on the laureates is available on the Convention Web site: http://www.ramsar.org/Ramsar-Award/.
The Ramsar Award will be given for the fifth time at the opening ceremony of the 11th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties (Bucharest, Romania, 19 June 2012). Three Awards will be granted, each with the Evian Special Prize of US$ 10,000 kindly offered by the Danone Group as part of its support to the Convention.
By its decision SC41-9, the Standing Committee thanked the Danone Group for providing the Evian Special Prize since COP7 in 1999 to accompany the Ramsar Wetland Conservation Award and approved the criteria, procedures and eligibility for the Awards, which will be given in the categories of "Management", "Wetland Science", and "Education".
The Convention Secretariat is pleased to attach a document with the Criteria and Procedures for the Ramsar Award 2012 and a nomination form.

Asymmetric correlations in equity returns: a fundamental-based explanation
AbstractMany studies have shown that the correlation of stock portfolio returns is higher during market downturns, while very few of them offer an explanation for the causes of such an asymmetry. This article examines potential fundamental causes for the phenomenon. We find that such an asymmetry is caused by the following sources during market downturns: increasing common fundamental risk, higher correlation of individual fundamental risk and more sensitive loadings of these risk factors. We also find that these fundamental factors can only partially explain the asymmetric correlation. Possible mechanisms for these sources to drive the asymmetry are also discussed in the article.

It's hard to stand inside a Godby Home Furnishings showroom. Comfy couches, chairs, and beds wait around every turn inside the store. Each visit showcases furnishings for several areas of the home, including living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. A look at the item tags in any of these sections reads like a who's who of the home furnishing world?names like Flexsteel , La-Z-Boy, Serta, and Tempurpedic among many more. The Carmel location is open despite the closure of US 31.
The Godby family has curated these fine furnishings since 1974, when Jim Godby founded the first location. After coming aboard in 1992, Jim's son Jeff oversaw the company's expansion into a modern day furniture empire that rivals the ionic column emporiums of Rome. At the center of it all lies the Godby Home Furnishings 75,000 sq. ft. warehouse, which stocks all the furniture on display in each showroom. In total, about eight million dollars of inventory fills the warehouse?but sometimes that's not even enough. In those cases, Godby's team happily places a custom order for their customers.
Founded in 1977, Westfield Lighting illuminates residential and commercial spaces with a diverse collection of lighting products.

Beyond lighting, the store's showroom facilitates further decor updates with furniture, home accessories, and an art gallery featuring the works of emerging local artists.

When designer Robert Trent Jones Jr. made Prairie View Golf Club his first Indiana project in 1997, he peppered 18 holes across 206 acres of natural beauty. His design hugs the White River, which rings the course on three sides, but only interferes with shots at four holes. Native grasses trim the entire perimeter of the former soybean- and cornfields, while oak, sycamore beech, and cottonwood trees surround the back nine holes. But the natural obstacles pale in comparison to the manmade impediments – 90 sand traps, including one that stretches 135 yards, make the par-72 course a challenge for even the most avid golfer. Creative flagstick positioning invites visitors to modify their technique for approach shots, with an emphasis on precision rather than power, much like surgically extracting a swallowed engagement ring.
For some added muscle on the course, patrons can practice swings at golf lessons or map out a plan of attack over breakfast at The Albatross Grille, which overlooks the course.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, Par 72 Course * Total length of 7,000 yards from the back tees * Course rating of 74.5 from the back tees * Course slope of 138 from the back tees * Four sets of tees per hole
After graduating from England's Southampton University, Jacqueline Bols began her culinary career in the French and Italian rivieras, serving her creations on private yachts in Cannes, Monaco, and Saint-Tropez. Later, she catered American events, earning the Charles Heidsieck Award for Culinary Excellence and serving her feasts to such famed diners as Oprah Winfrey, Sean Connery, Tommy Hilfiger, and Kevin Costner.
In 2001, Jacqueline opened Jacquie's Café & Gourmet Catering, drawing on modern French cuisine and local and organic ingredients to craft in-house breakfasts and lunches as well as catered meals. In quarters ornamented with photographs and oil paintings, guests can dine on handcrafted yogurt parfaits, homemade soups, or smoked turkey, brie, and apple sandwiches. The catering arm of the outfit fashions hors d'oeuvres, à la carte items, and boxed lunches for private events, as well as corporate breakfast and lunch dishes, which distract employees from the daily grind of prank faxing competitor companies.

You've probably heard of the place. Initially, W.R. Hearst intended it as a summer home for his family, but the project ballooned over some three decades and became much larger and more grandiose than he had initially planned. When you actually see it for yourself, standing on the grounds or in its many rooms and galleries, it simply blows the mind, time and time again. Even more impressive than the approach to the front of the house through the garden and across the main terrace are the panoramic views surrounding the property, the Pacific Ocean to the west and deep valleys and towering wooded hills on every other side.
Hearst Castle is a big house, and with a private guided tour from one of the veteran guide supervisors, who expertly wove us in and out of other ongoing tours occurring in tandem (our guide, Scot, told me there could be as many as 500 people on the grounds at any one time), we ended up spending a little more time on the grounds than we intended.
So, late for dinner, we hit the road once again. This time I got behind the wheel of the old E28 M5. It was the most "underpowered" car in the group, what with 256 hp and all. It is, however, just 3,400 pounds compared to the new 550i which weighs in at nearly a thousand pounds heavier. In fact I was second in line in our train, chasing that very car.
Compared to driving a modern BMW, driving the E28 is… well, there is no comparison. The experience is completely dissimilar. And once I settled into the 20-odd year car, I found that's no a bad thing. The steering precision off-center is way off, but once you get the wheel cranking, it responds in a wonderfully progressive fashion. The same is true with the cable-driven throttle. The instantaneous acceleration of the newer cars isn't there, but keep the S38 inline six on the boil and the car carries velocity like a projectile—particularly on twisty bits. Like a modern BMW, the '88 M5 is happiest on a winding road, and you can make a direct connection with the lineage. And road feel through the suspension and chassis makes the driving experience come alive in a completely different way. Settling back into one of the newer cars made me feel, well, lonely and isolated, and I had to readjust all over again. I found myself hot on the 400-hp 550i's heels at every turn—in a car with only about two-thirds the power output. Amazing stuff.
We arrived at the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur just in time for our dinner reservation. Originally a 160-acre homestead claimed by William Brainard Post in 1850. Post's grandson, Bill, founded the resort and inn. The modern restaurant, the Sierra Mar Restaurant, was dedicated on its opening in 1992 to Bill's late sister, Mary Post Fleenor. Placed literally on the edge of a steep incline that descends sharply into the Pacific, the restaurant offers a gourmet dining experience overshadowed only by the spectacular ocean views.
After dinner and wine and good conversation, we made our way to our base for the next four days, the equally scenic Carmel Valley Ranch, where we crashed forthwith to regenerate for the day's following activities: the Concorso Italiano and The Quail car show gatherings.

IRVING, Texas – It's rather ironic that a player who couldn't stay on the field in college is the one filling in for all the professional starters getting hurt.
"All those injuries just started to be motivation," he said. "I realized you can't feel sorry for yourself. You've just got to take it one day [at a time], 'all right, this happened, now what am I going to do next?'"
What he did last year was start two games and suit up for 14 at various spots as a linebacker. He said he's healthier now than he's been in years after a few rough college seasons from a health standpoint.
"At some point, it was kind of like, 'Am I ever going to have a healthy season? Can I do this and not come out needing to sit out a week or have to get surgery or something?'" Albright said. "It's opened my eyes, like, you can do this. You can make this team, you can play in the NFL, now you can finish a season."
Not much has changed this offseason for him, as he's still the player used to fill a variety of roles. Only now, he's filling those roles in a 4-3 defense rather than the 3-4.
He cherishes the time he got in OTAs bouncing around from position to position. He said at first it was a struggle balancing all the positions.
"But I kind of got the mindset, I know it's a cliché around the league, but the more I can do is the more chance that they're going to keep me and I can find a way on the field," he said. "Eventually it worked out last year with all the injuries we had.
"If you want to put me somewhere, that's fine. I'm going to go all out and try to learn that position. I want to be here. I love it
Albright said he doesn't really have a primary position, though he lined up in the strongside linebacker spot while Durant was hurt. He said he has to look at the depth chart every day to see where they're going to put him, calling it the flavor of the day.
The inconsistencies on a day-to-day basis don't bother Albright.
"A lot of people might not likely being bounced around, never really knowing what they're doing," he said. "I take pride in that. I like being the person that if someone goes down, I'm there to be able to get on the field. I really embrace that role."
