By popular request: this is what my husband and I used for our marriage ceremony, but I can't take any credit for it whatsoever. The woman who married us suggested it and I thought it was perfect. ~JJ
In marriage, walk the path side by side,
together, whenever possible.
Remember to hold each other when it is cold.
If the air becomes too close,
make a little space so each can breathe.
When the path is narrow, pick one to go first.
Always be willing to follow; don't be afraid to lead.
Trust your partner; trust yourself,
for marriage is a journey that leads to great love.
I accept you as my spouse with this promise:
I promise to respect you;
to give you love and support at all times.
I promise to never take you for granted,
to give you my love openly and honestly.
I promise to build our marriage on a foundation
of trust and respect, of faithfulness and of forgiveness.
Marriage is the joining of two people; the union of two hearts.
It lives in the love we give each other and never grows old.
It thrives on the joy of each new day.
May we always be attentive
to the wonder of our marriage.
May we always be able to talk things over,
to confide in one another, and to laugh with each other.
May we enjoy life together and share moments
of quiet peace when the day is done.
May we create a lifetime of happiness.

The Associated Press
LONDON (AP) - World stock markets rose Tuesday
despite the fact that the U.S. government was forced to partially shut
down after Congress failed to approve a funding agreement.
The shutdown affects hundreds of thousands of
federal workers and scores of agencies and operations. But some critical
parts of the government, from the military to air traffic controllers,
will remain open, and analysts said significant damage to the economy
was unlikely unless the shutdown lasted more than a few days.
"Markets have become more and more rational over
the last 24 months, particularly when they've seen central banks ... all
working very closely together to make sure their economies are
supported," said Evan Lucas, market analyst at IG in Melbourne,
Helping sentiment, a private industry group said
that U.S. manufacturing expanded last month at the fastest pace since
April 2011.
On Wall Street, the Dow was up 0.4 percent at 15,191.96 and the S&P 500 up 0.7 percent at 1,693.04.
In Europe, Germany's DAX advanced 0.9 percent to
8,670.15 while France's CAC-40 rose 1.1 percent to 4,189.13. Britain's
FTSE 100 was flat at 6,460.36.
European stocks were also supported by figures
showing unemployment across the eurozone stabilized in August, a further
sign of economic recovery, and an easing of the political turmoil in
Italy. The FTSE MIB in Milan jumped 2.7 percent on reports that Silvio
Berlusconi's party will support the government.
The dollar, however, took a hit - it fell 0.2
percent against the Japanese yen, to 98.05 yen, while the euro rose 0.1
percent to $1.3535.
Earlier, in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 advanced 0.2
percent to close at 14,484.72 after the latest quarterly "tankan" survey
showed a sharp improvement from the prior period. Large manufacturers
were especially upbeat, with a reading of positive 12, up from 4 in the
July survey.
South Korea's Kospi swung between gains and losses
until finally settling 0.1 percent higher at 1,998.87. Australia's
S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.2 percent to 5,206.80. Benchmarks in Singapore,
Taiwan, Indonesia and New Zealand also rose. Malaysia fell.
Markets in mainland China and Hong Kong were closed
for public holidays and couldn't react to a survey showing that
manufacturing in the world's No. 2 economy barely expanded in September.
Tuesday's report by the China Federation of
Logistics and Purchasing showed manufacturing expanded for the third
month in a row. But the group's purchasing managers' index rose by only a
fraction to 51.1 last month from 51.0 in August, less than economists
Benchmark oil for November delivery was down $1.08
to $101.25 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile
Exchange. The contract grade fell 54 cents to close at $102.33 a barrel
on Monday.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Mother's Day is on Sunday and some people in Madison got their last minute gifts while giving back to the community.
The 15th annual Children's Benefit Plant Sale on Saturday offered an array of blossoming flowers for spring to raise money for local non-profits that fund youth programs and community health centers.
The proceeds benefit Partners in Foster Care, Porchlight, Inc., Second Harvest Foodbank of Southeastern Wisconsin and others. The organization has raised more than $100,000 since its inception in 1997. This year the benefit aims to beat last year's total of $12,000 for local charities.

Robert Bruce McClelland (born 26 January 1958 in Sydney) is a former Australian politician. He was an Australian Labor Party member of the Australian House of Representatives from March 1996 until September 2013 representing the Division of Barton. Between 2007 and 2011, McClelland was the Attorney-General of Australia.
Early life and education[edit]
McClelland is the son of Doug McClelland, a former Senator for New South Wales between 1962 and 1987, and a minister in the Whitlam government and President of the Senate, serving between 1983 and 1987.
McClelland was educated at Blakehurst High School before studying at the University of New South Wales, where he gained bachelors degrees in arts and law, and the University of Sydney where he gained a masters degree in law.
Early career[edit]
He was an Associate to the Justice Phillip Evatt of the Federal Court of Australia 1981–82 before becoming a solicitor and ultimately partner with law firm Turner Freeman.[1]
Political career[edit]
Two years after his election to parliament, McClelland became a member of the Opposition Shadow Ministry. He was Shadow Attorney-General 1998–2003, Shadow Minister for Workplace Relations 2001–03, Shadow Minister for Homeland Security 2003–05, Shadow Minister for Defence 2004–06 and Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs 2006–07. In November 2007, Robert McClelland was appointed as the Attorney-General.[2] As part of a cabinet reshuffle in December 2011 he was moved to oversee the portfolio of emergency management and housing.[3] In a further cabinet reshuffle in February 2012 following Kevin Rudd's leadership challenge, McClelland returned to the backbench.
After McClelland indicated on 8 October 2007 his party's disapproval of death sentences for all south Asian countries, his leader Kevin Rudd criticized the speech as "insensitive" because it was made on the eve of the anniversary of the Bali bombings.[4][5] McClelland apologized,[6] but critics called the positions inconsistent.[7]
In the 2007 Federal election, McClelland was re-elected to the seat of Barton with a 4.53% swing toward the Labor Party.[8] In the 2010 Federal election, McClelland was re-elected to the seat of Barton, but suffered an 8.08% swing against the Labor Party.
In February 2008, McClelland stated that it was unacceptable that the ACT government, which is proposing to allow same-sex couples to enter into unions, would give the right to hold public ceremonies to celebrate their unions.[9] McClelland was criticised by Greens Senator Bob Brown, who said it was displaying the ugly face of Labor conservatism.[10]
On 29 January 2013, McClelland announced he would not be contesting the 2013 election.[11]

It is interesting. I, for one, was happy to kill Nesingwary's cronies. My only regret, is I could not off the old chap himself ;p
But one achievement that made me think twice was the Wolvar/Oracle rep achievements in the Basin. Currently working on doing Mercenary of Scholazar. And to be honest, if it weren't an achievement, I would never work for the Volvar :/ The Oracles are really nice, and have been very understanding of the volvar interlopers. But the volvar like to harm the oracles anyway, even though it's their land and have tried to be friends.
Well, I suppose the only achievement I refuse to do for RP reasons, is the bloodsail one. I will not become a pirate and kill Bouty Bay bouncers, no matter how many points it's worth. (of course, this might have more to do with wanting to step in bouty bay :p)

Lynx launches space academy
Lynx is launching a campaign in partnership with astronaut Buzz Aldrin to give fans a chance to go into space to support the launch of its latest fragrance Apollo.
The Unilever owned brand is sponsoring a space academy programme that it says is its "most ambitious" brand activity ever.
The ad, created by BBH, shows a heroic fireman being upstaged by an astronaut.
Activity is also running globally under the Axe brand and will give 22 fans around the world an opportunity to go on the space shuttle in 2014.
Readers' comments (3)
I am there, where do I sign up !
Fantastic news
Lynx - Smell out of this world and you show her the stars!
I want to see a Lynx advert where someone applies some in the shuttle and the rest of the passengers fall about gagging and coughing..
We all know that experience don't we ;o)
They are also running an app relating to their 'space academy'. Lynx could have one of the biggest campaigns we'll see this year! After all, who wouldn't want to be an astronaut?

This is my first map and I used FM8. Just wanted to thank everyone for helping me and for making me feel at home here.:)
Attachment 33127
Heya, Nice first attempt, i think its great. I would put those trees a bit closer together so they make a more concentrated forest feature, but thats just my 2 cents:) Keep it up!
Agreed. Putting the trees closer together makes it feel more dense and foresty while spreading things out on the plains makes them feel more open.
Really nice map!
Just one thing : don't you want to make a scale or have you forgotten to make it? :)
Also, you might consider scaling down the hills or scaling up the mountains. My vote would be to do the mountains up by about double or so and compare size. Hills should be somewhere around 1/2 to 1/4 the size of the mountains. Personally, I would highly suggest getting and using the vector symbols from the additional map pack if you can afford it. The mountains are MUCH better looking to me as are the hills. You might also try playing around and making your own mountains by breaking apart some of the existing symbols and do some experimenting. Also, on the NBOS site under the resources section, Mark Oliva's group has created some additional vector symbols for FM, though I don't know if there are additional mountains,hills, trees and stuff, but it might be worth a check out.
EDIT: also, if you take a look at the original map symbols in FM, you will notice that the hills are shaded on the left side(light coming from the East) while the mountains are shaded on the right side(light coming from the West).... YIKES!!!! light does not do that and it's those little things that can really stand out and make a map good or horrible.
As for scale, I think the PDF tutorial shows how to do that, but if not, it's fairly easy to make a long skinny rectangle, fill with color (or perhaps two colors, half and half) and then add your distances label underneath.
If you decide to do some more edits on this, let us know in the thread and I or one of the other community leaders will move it to the WIP forum until you feel it's "finished".
I'd avoid symmetry - especially the rocks around the city bother me.
It's a good looking mix of terrains, although I agree the mountains often smaller than the hills isn't working. A desert next to a huge lake is unlikely, and the lake itself has two outflowing rivers, which doesn't happen (except very temporarily in unusual circumstances).

I eat fish a lot. I'm especially fond of buying fish that are deemed "Best Choices" from the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch. This is a bi-yearly report on the most sustainable species of fish to eat. They even have an App so you can check the guide from your phone when you're at the store! I love this. I also loved the fact that May handed out the latest version along with our class recipes.
When you buy fish, it's important to make sure your fish is fresh. Fish is highly perishable because of its high moisture content and high protein content. Fish should smell like the ocean. If it has a strong, ammonia-like smell, run away! A good fish department will have all fish stored on ice, and that ice should be fine, as larger pieces can pierce delicate fish skin.
Speaking of skin, this should be shiny and tight, with all fins are intact. The eyes should be full and round. Eyes that look sunken are a sign of dehydration. If you're looking at fillets, these should be compact and dense and spring back when touched. I always find chatting with the people behind the counter a good indicator of how well the fish is handled. If the people are knowledgeable, the fish is probably fresh.
May brought up the term "Sushi-Grade Tuna." What that means isn't what people usually think. Most of this type of tuna is pre-frozen, as freezing kills off some of the bacteria and parasites, so that if you consume it raw, it's most probably good to eat. For most of us though, it's not a fabulous idea to freeze fish. Basic home freezers aren't cold enough and the fish can become crystalized. Fresh fish only lasts 24-48 hours, so if you want to keep it, put it over ice on brown paper in the back of the fridge until you're ready to use it.
Here's another fun fact about fin fish-the more active a fish is, the firmer and darker the flesh will be. These fin fish include salmon, swordfish and tuna. Guppies are pretty active! I wonder if they're too small to fillet? These fish taste best grilled, sautéed, poached, steamed or roasted, but are not great for deep-frying.
The less active fish are the ones with a more delicate flavor, like sole, flounder, catfish and cod. Now THESE you can fry, both in deep fryer and pan. They're also great sautéed and broiled.
There are three kinds of fin fish: round, flat and non-bony. Round fish have eyes on each side of the body and are, y'know…round. The flat fish have a flat body and eyes that are on the top part of their head (like a flounder). Non-bony fish have no bones, only cartilage. Sharks, swordfish and skate are all non-bony.

On Being Ugly (by karakamos)
Everyone needs to watch this.
one of my fav posts on here
(Source: you1anna)
Disney used to be on point. Idk wtf that Shake It Up and A.N.T Farm crap is. Even second generation Disney had SOME core to it; Early Hannah Montana, Early Suit life of Zack and Cody and Wizards of Wavery Place. Even Sonny with a chance was ALRIGHT. Now they're just getting desperate.That's so Raven taught things like ^THIS. Now the only thing Disney talks about is boy crushes. Lizzie McGuire had a variety of different episodes, And one episode was even about Miranda having an eating disorder. Something SERIOUS that people can ACTUALLY relate to.Then there was Phil Of The Future and Even Stevens- Mainly for entertainment as opposed to teaching moral lessons, But at least they were creative and entertaining. This new crap is just pathetic.
Reporter: What made you lose 37 pounds?
Raven Symone': The pressure of society.
Finally a celebrity who says the real reason
Submitted by iwillloveyouwhenpigsfly
I've always loved Raven. I liked her better when she was heavier. I keep trying to show my 4 year old sister "That's So Raven" because she has darker skin than me (she has a different father) and all the other shows she watches feature stick-thin white girls. I want my sister to grow up without that pressure; without feeling like you should look like the people on TV. One day, she even asked my older sister, "When am I going to be your color?" She's young; she doesn't understand all of the natural differences yet. I struggled with self-image as I was growing up and I don't want her to feel the same thing I did.

Everyone should see this.
Please, everyone who thinks being "fat" is "ugly," listen:
It's NOT. Be proud of what you have, and stop thinking that "skinny girls" are beautiful. Everyone can be beautiful. The way to start is to first EMBRACE YOURSELF AS YOU ARE. Confidence is way more sexier than just being thin. I'm not putting down thin girls, I'm just defending the people who actually get put down most of the time by all the various forms of media.
There ARE people who will like you, and it won't be "because you're fat." I know plenty of people who like women (and men) of all sizes because of their confidence and comfort with their appearance.
So, please. Stop worrying. Stop hating.

Newspaper seeks search warrant in professor's killing, Mass.
|March 22, 2001
(DUDLEY, Mass.) – A Boston newspaper is seeking access to a search warrant filed during the investigation into the killings of two Dartmouth College professors.
Prosecutors have asked a judge to keep the affidavits under seal in the "active but incomplete" investigation. They argue that friends of the two high school students charged with murder have been reluctant to give information to investigators and might be even less willing to talk if they know more details about what police have found.
Half and Suzanne Zantop were stabbed in their home near the Dartmouth campus in Hanover, N.H., in late January. Robert Tulloch and James Parker of Chelsea, Vt., were arrested in Indiana in February.
The Boston Herald has asked Judge Vito Virzi in Worcester County, Mass., to unseal a search warrant he issued for the Audi that Tulloch and Parker left at a truck stop in Sturbridge, Mass. The judge has not yet ruled on the motion.

I really wish Darren was here for this one, but oh well. So, the speculation is now, that with the new Thunderbolt technology on the Macs is apparently connected directly to the PCIe bus. This means that a potential rogue device can be plugged in and would have unauthenticated access to anything else on the PCIe bus – including complete read access to memory and hard drives. Of course this isn't a big deal as most of the Macs already have the same issues with Firewire Express cards and SD ports. Intel does have a solution with VT-d that allows the chipset to be configured so that devices on the PCIe bus donât have free reign. Unfortunately the chipset in the Mac doesn't support VT-d.
Additionally, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages: Making mistakes is okay. We know there are tight deadlines that you have to meet. But please try your absolute best to make new mistakes. Seriously, did the developers of this technology even look vulnerabilities in Firewire and USB? It is unacceptable if you look at your connectivity technology and it turns out that Bluetooth is more secure.
So, from the PDC crew to all of the developers who insist on making and remaking the same mistakes as others in the past:

Lt. Sheila Cole of the Anderson County Sheriff's Office said 26-year-old Royres Patterson was charged with murder, attempted murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime in connection with the death of 20-year-old Brandon Willingham.
Terrance Mandrell West, 39, was charged with accessory after the fact of murder and accessory after the fact of attempted murder.
The shooting happened just before 10 p.m. on June 7 near the intersection of Oliver Street and Hall Street, according to Cole.
A vehicle drove by, firing multiple shots and hitting the man and woman, Cole said.
The two victims were taken to the hospital, where Willingham died.
Willingham was an up-and-coming rapper from Anderson who went by the name Jugg Money.
The second victim is expected to survive and has spoken to investigators, according to the sheriff's office.
Patterson surrendered himself to the sheriff's office, according to Cole.
Cole said no other arrests are expected.
A county magistrate was unable to set bonds for West and Patterson's charges during a hearing held Saturday morning. The two suspects will continue to be held at the Anderson County Detention Center until a bond hearing with a circuit judge can be scheduled.

Especially after the Mets winning streak, it is difficult to criticize the Mets starting pitching. Some alarms, however, should be ringing in the Mets dugout regarding the velocity of some of the pitchers.
Johan Santana has seen a dip in speed for all of his pitches this year, with his fastball dropping from an average velocity of 90.5 MPH to 89.4 MPH. His slider and changeup have slipped similar amounts.
John Maine's velocity struggles have been well documented, but to repeat them his fastball which usually sits in the low 90s and averaged at 91.3 MPH last year is down over MPH to 89.2.
Even Mike Pelfrey, who has seeminly come into his own this year, has seen a slow down among his pitches. His fastball is down from 92.6 to 91.5 MPH.
The only exception on the staff is the youngster, Jon Niese whose fastball averages 90.2 compared to 89.6 MPH last year.
This trend even continues to the bullpen, where Francisco Rodriguez and Pedro Feliciano have both seen their average fastball velocities drop over 1 MPH.
Clearly this has not been a problem for many of these guys as most of these guys are off to very good starts. Perhaps even it is beneficial for some of them because maybe by taking a mile per hour off they have added new movement to their pitch, or found better control. Still though, it is something to watch out for as it might not be a good sign for everybody. This could be especially true of Santana who has not had an ace like start to the season and is coming off surgery to remove bone chips in his throwing arm. So, even if these dips in velocities aren't a problem yet, it is something the Mets should be paying attention to closely.

Market trends show stunning flip-flops
Investors love the very companies they disdained just 6 months ago, and this turn of events is just getting started.
As I looked through the charts, I saw a stunning departure from anything I witnessed in 2012, or even since the bottom in 2009, for that matter. What I saw was money coming in to new themes to supplant the old.
First, let me tell you what's working: Housing-related names, such as Weyerhaeuser (WY), Lennar (LEN), Toll Brothers (TOL), Sherwin-Williams (SHW) and Mohawk (MHK) carpets, are still going higher. Same goes for hospital plays like Tenet (THC) and Universal Health (UHS), Becton, Dickenson (BDX) -- they all look great, as do their acolytes. There's tremendous interest in the high-growth pharmaceutical names, as well -- ones like Celgene (CELG), Gilead (GILD) and Allergan (AGN). These have supplanted the slower-growth dividend plays.
The market remains gaga over names such chemical plays that are benefiting from lower feedstock, such as Westlake (WLK) and Georgia Gulf (GGC) and Eastman Chemical (EMN). This is a sign that the horrible action in the natural gas stocks is justified. The ancillary home plays, as well -- the cable companies and their content makers, such as Comcast (CMCSA), Time Warner Cable (TWC), Time Warner (TWX) and Discovery (DISCA) -- they are all red-hot.
But you know what is getting killed? Anything purely domestic -- with no international upside -- that can't be directly linked to housing or any of these other sectors. Venture into the utilities at your own risk. Try to buy a dollar store. Slow-growth foods? No thank you.
It's incredible how little money is coming in to those. But there isn't enough coming out to explain the rallies. That's purely sidelined money that had been waiting for the election and the fiscal cliff to resolve themselves. These investors clearly aren't daunted by the debt-ceiling talks, no matter how the media tries to scare people into thinking they should be -- including articles I am now seeing, shameless articles, about Social Security checks not being delivered. Can we spare the drama, please?
There are two themes, though -- two incredibly powerful themes that have joined the others I have been crowing about all year: agriculture and emerging markets.
The first we saw coming when Mosiac (MOS) didn't decline after reporting a terrible quarter. Then Monsanto (MON) unleashed a fantastic number and that sent the group soaring, including FMC (FMC) and now Deere (DE), with the latter looking a lot like it could go to $100. (Thanks fellow Real Money contributor Matt Horween for that observation.) The group looks like it is generating a huge head of steam even as others would say, "You missed it!"
But the other real eye-opener -- in fact, a total stunner -- is that, after a four-year hiatus that began with the Great Recession, buyers once again want in to emerging markets. Take a look at the charts. The trucking sector, for instance, benefits from North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and Mexican exposure -- an economy that has to be one of the strongest in the world. Then there are the freight forwarders and international financials, and just plain old industrials and techs, such as Eaton (ETN) or Air Products & Chemicals (APD) or Cisco (CSCO). These stocks have suddenly gotten gigantic adherents.
As well they should, when you consider it. If you have Europe, Asia and Latin America coming back, you have a lot to choose from. Don't forget who benefits from these comebacks. You have companies like Ford (F) and Magna (MGA) that set out to make a lot of money in emerging markets and Europe, and got whacked for it. That's over. You have companies like Emerson (EMR) and Danaher (DHR), which have worked hard to be international. The information-technology sector is working, as are the construction companies that are benefitting from what looks like a calming in the Middle East.
This is a remarkable and stunning move. The market loves the very companies it disdained six months ago, when it wanted to be a domestic seller of cereal or apparel. Now it wants the more overseas the better.
It's a remarkable turn -- and, to me, it's just in its infancy, and it has much, much further to go.

DLH....That would be a show of his, I might want to watch...
NOT TO BE MEAN....or anything...?
But watching Jimmy (Bobo) get all lathered up yelling and ringing bells and whistles going...
Someone steps from behind the curtain and tasers him...Drop him like a frog.
I think that would be a hoot...
What say you Mr. Cramer...a new idea for audience share?? Real reality.?
One headline says something about the "slowing global economy" dragging on the market,well it isn't hurting oil,back on its way toward $100/barrel. What BS !
Well I'm firmly behind your Housing issues.....They have done fairly well, depending on the pick ?
Guess Pharma is another to consider, but research needs to be complete...
I like Med Device makers and Generic producers, but I'm sure their are other good plays, I just don't like speculating on the next best drug trial...
And everyone has to eat...
But I am not willing to buy at 52-72 week highs.
As far as Emerging Markets.....I will settle for Internationals, I believe they are sounder,with divs.
It's all ran by casino owners in Vegas !! It is designed to ONLY allow you to win enough to keep you hooked and playing ! ! ! Just like Vegas,people are smart enough to know it's all rigged and manipulated,but are stupid enough to think they can beat it.
Yeah, Steve.....I've also noticed that many people, singles some couples are getting these prefab mini houses of about 300-400 sq. feet...They are different and very cheap to maintain, heat or cool..
I find them interesting, but think most of the Companies are privately owned?
Guess people that live under bridges in cardboard boxes, had a good(?) idea...
We don't have that luxury (well I guess we do, not to sound snide) we have an old large farmhouse, remodeled several times, our living room is over 450 sq. feet and a large country kitchen, with a dining area...I'm not bragging, it's just an old country farmhouse and we are empty nesters, and very seldom use, heat or cool the upstairs...It's too much for Seniors living on fixed(more or less) income...
But I guess we are never going to move....
NTU...That does sound like an Eggs & Basket....
Even if we had it, I wouldn't put $5 million into ONE Company....
Maybe Warren and a few others can....But there are damn few.
Another reason I didn't like a lot of Mutual Funds....If you dug deep enough, many had some of the same or similar holdings....
NTU....We use to do that with cattle too, along with hogs in a large stock or Horse Trailer..
After about 3-4 days it was easy...And they all thought they were going to Granny's Place..?
Yeah, Granny's Restaurant.
Easiest way to train horses to "trailer" also...But they always got to come back after a Show.

SPRINGFIELD -- Struggling with a gambling addiction, Todd Ruder�s mother signed herself up for the state�s self-exclusion program, a move her family hoped would keep her off the riverboat casinos.
But Ruder says his mother still found ways to get on the boats and feed her addiction, all while losing more and more money.
Now Todd Ruder, of Schaumburg, is trying to convince the Illinois Gaming Board that Illinois casinos be required to check the IDs of every gambler boarding the boats. Then banned gamblers could be red-flagged immediately.
�The self-exclusion program is supposed to be there to protect,� Ruder said.
Gaming board chairman Aaron Jaffe said Illinois already is ahead of most states by requiring identification from everyone 30 or younger. At some point, the board may look to do more despite gambling industry opposition, he said.
Board member Eugene Winkler doesn�t need to be convinced. He would like to see everyone provide identification, including older gamblers. Gamblers 31 to 65 years old make up 86 percent of those on Illinois� exclusion list, according to Illinois Gaming Board statistics.
There are more immediate issues before the board, but Winkler says he can see consensus eventually building for the idea.
Like many other states with legalized gambling, Illinois has a voluntary, self-exclusion program for compulsive gamblers.
When addicted gamblers sign up for the confidential list, they are banned from the state�s riverboat casinos and risk being arrested for trespassing and losing their winnings if caught.
Casinos are prohibited from sending marketing materials to those on the list and offer their employees $250 rewards if they spot a banned gambler on their boat.
Since 2002, when the Illinois Gaming Board began the statewide program, 4,914 people have signed themselves up for self exclusion.
But even those who advocate for the program and say it has helped some of Illinois� most desperate gamblers, they acknowledge that self-exclusion isn�t foolproof. Determined gambling addicts still find a way into casinos.
Under self-exclusion, it is the gambler�s responsibility to stay away from the boats. Ruder says his mom was able to skirt the rules by using cash and leaving before she won enough money to attract the attention of casino authorities.
Many others have gotten caught. Since the self-exclusion program�s start, there have been nearly 1,000 people who have been caught in the casinos, 467 of whom have been arrested, according to Gene O�Shea, director of the exclusion program.
Anyone caught on the boats must forfeit their chips, tokens and any winnings. The money goes to one of three designated gambling addiction support groups: Outreach Foundation of Illinois, the Illinois Council on Problem and Compulsive Gambling and the Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery.
The Illinois Gaming Board has seized more than $400,000 from excluded gamblers so far, according to O�Shea.
Once on the list, it�s difficult to get off. After five years, a person can seek to be removed but only if a gambling addiction counselor signs an affidavit that they can gamble responsibly. No one has yet been taken off the list, O�Shea said.
But Anita Bedell, director of Illinois Church Action on Alcohol and Addiction Problems, says too much of the responsibility falls on the gambling addict and not the casinos, which are more than willing to take money from gamblers on a losing streak.
Plus, the exclusion list is far too long for casino employees to recognize everyone who might be on the list, she said. �These people are so sick, why (not) ID them to keep them out?�
Last year, in an effort to catch people gambling illegally, the Illinois Gaming Board did begin requiring casinos to check the IDs of everyone 30 and younger. Their IDs are checked for validity and are matched against the exclusion database.
But that does little to catch older gamblers on the list.
�The system is very easy to outsmart. All you have to do is not look 30 and walk on board,� Ruder said.
Not surprisingly, the gambling industry is opposed to IDing everyone who goes into a casino. Tom Swoik, executive director of the Illinois Casino Gaming Association, said doing so could drive away casino business.
About 13 million people go through Illinois� riverboat turnstiles each year while there are only around 4,000 gamblers who have made the step to ban themselves from the casinos, Swoik said.
Checking every gambler�s ID would be cumbersome, cause delays and prompt some players to go elsewhere, he said. Other gamblers might have privacy concerns about handing over their ID.
There�s also the possibility that if you make the self-exclusion program too restrictive, some compulsive gamblers may avoid signing up at all, Swoik said. �The more intense you make the system, the fewer will sign up for it.�
There hasn�t been extensive research done on the overall effectiveness of self-exclusion programs. A study is currently being done on Missouri�s program, which has more than 11,000 people signed up and was one of the early programs.
There may be critics, but Tom Tucker, CEO of the Compulsive Gambling Institute, said there aren�t any real downsides to self-exclusion programs, which are worthwhile if they help any gamblers avoid casinos.

After enjoying a late rally on Tuesday on speculation that it was for sale, Advanced Micro Devices has seen its stock take a dive this week.
The stock fell another 1.1% to $1.91 on Thursday, hitting a new 52-week low of $1.86 intraday.
The shares, which have shed more 5% this week, have been edging closer to the bottom they hit during the market crash four years ago. A big reason for the slump over the last two days was AMD's own denial on Tuesday that it was looking to sell the company or parts of it. Then there's also the emerging view on Wall Street that a sale is not such an easy option for the semiconductor giant.
Bernstein Research analyst Stacy Rasgon's view of the company's prospects has gotten so bad, he has described AMD as "uninvestable."
"I use that word lightly," he told MarketWatch. "I'm terrified of the stock. … Their competitive position does not look super, and they're burning cash."
AMD emerged as a tech powerhouse as the No. 2 supplier of PC chips, a market it once dominated with Intel Corp. But that market is now widely viewed as in steady decline, battered by weakening demand among consumers, many of whom are turning to smartphones and tablets.
That's also a factor that would discourage a would-be buyer. Another is AMD's licensing agreement with Intel related to the architecture, known as X86, used in most PCs using the companies' chips. Essentially, a company that buys AMD would have a year to re-negotiate that license. And if Intel refuses, AMD's new owners may find themselves in a bind.
Which is why, said Rasgon, a would-be buyer "would have to have Intel at the table before you enter into negotiations, or you don't know what you're buying."
Cody Acree of Williams Financial also said the X86 issue "is not a small issue."
"It could probably be managed if a company wants to take it on," he told MarketWatch. "But at the same time, it would cost the acquirer time and money and with no guarantee of the outcome."
But the biggest issue any company that buys AMD would face is the state of the chip giant's core market.
"Would you want to be entering a market which is arguably entering secular decline?" Acree said. "That's the biggest issue."
Evercore Partners analyst Patrick Wang also reflected on the idea that a company that pioneered the PC revolution is also in decline.
A sale of the company or parts of is "possible," Wang told MarketWatch. "But it's definitely not a happy scenario."
"The possibility that the company is dismantled and sold is really as a sad story," he added.

Willis Group Holdings PLC Stock Downgraded (WSH)
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Insurance industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 83.3% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $204.00 million to $34.00 million.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. When compared to other companies in the Insurance industry and the overall market, WILLIS GROUP HOLDINGS PLC's return on equity has significantly outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.
- Looking at where the stock is today compared to one year ago, we find that it is not only higher, but it has also clearly outperformed the rise in the S&P 500 over the same period, despite the company's weak earnings results. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- 36.10% is the gross profit margin for WILLIS GROUP HOLDINGS PLC which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Despite the strong results of the gross profit margin, WSH's net profit margin of 3.40% significantly trails the industry average.
- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 100.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 3.7%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.

Once you've been named the sexiest man alive, you'd think the women in your life would look at you a little differently. But Adam Levine says the title bestowed on him last month by People magazine hasn't exactly earned him any points with his fiancée or his parents.
"My fiancée burst into laughter; keeping me humble as usual," the Maroon 5 frontman told Ellen DeGeneres on Thursday's edition of her show, describing the reaction of his bride-to-be, model Behati Prinsloo , on hearing the news. The Voice coach's mom didn't find the news quite so hilarious.
"My mother...asked me very sweetly if that makes her the sexiest mom alive, which is really cute and also kind of weird. And I said, 'I guess so,'" Adam said. And how did his dad react? He laughs, "My father just said, 'You're welcome, son.'"
Adam also admitted to Ellen that, while the "Sexiest Man Alive" and a Victoria's Secret model might make a beautiful couple, the don't exactly keep up appearances around the house.
"We're both super messy. It's really kind of amazing actually. It looks like a tornado hit wherever we hang out," he said, before clarifying that he's not dirty, just messy. "Dirty is gross. Dirty means you're unhygienic and you don't shower. It's gross and you're dirty. Messy is like I don't care that that shirt is on the floor or that my pants are hanging over a couch."
Meanwhile, Adam is still sitting pretty on The Voice as three of his contestants remain in the running for the top spot in the NBC singing competition. The singer said he's grown really close to the remaining members of his team.
"You get really attached, you know?" Levine said about contestants Will Champlin , Tessanne Chin and James Wolpert . "And these three have been so -- I don't know -- different than other seasons. We've just been so connected."
Levine will find out if anyone from his team will move on to the finals next Monday at 8 p.m. Eastern time when The Voice semifinals begin.

Crisis of confidence coming soon?
Some of the tactics and rosy scenarios emanating from Wall Street are reminiscent of the dot-com heyday. Plus, notes from the spring Grant's Conference.
It's early, but earnings season has already brought us two throwbacks to the late-1990s stock bubble.
First came the stories waxing rhapsodic about Google's (GOOG) wonderful 2-for-1 stock split. Lest we forgot, that was a tactic used to drive stocks wild when people were in full dot-com delirium.
This time, however, it didn't do much for Google shares, which gave back all of March's gains, and then some, before recovering a bit.
The other news was the prediction from Gene Munster, an Apple (AAPL) analyst at Piper Jaffray, that Apple would be the first trillion-dollar company, by 2014. What I found particularly humorous was that, while the article I read acknowledged that the last time this subject came up (back in 2000) the "dead fish" had predicted Cisco Systems (CSCO) would be the first company with a trillion-dollar market cap, that error wouldn't stop Apple from achieving the valuation set by Munster. (At the time, I wrote an article explaining how preposterous that notion was.)

Apple slider?
I would just like to go on the record as saying I think it is virtually impossible for Apple to reach a $1 trillion market cap by 2014. I don't think that the level of sales and margins required to support that valuation in a nonlunatic world can be achieved in the next few years.
People seem to forget that the law of large numbers is quite potent. It is simply much, much more difficult to grow and maintain earnings when a company is very large. If you don't believe me, just ask Warren Buffett. He points it out all the time (we may disagree with his political views, but the man can analyze businesses).
I have absolutely no position in Apple, but given the points I recently made about the company, it appears that the stock is trading just as it would if it were making a top. I am not interested in putting up money behind that statement, but we have certainly seen a lot of good ideas overdone to the upside in the past decade and a half, and it seems Apple might be among them. (Again, Apple zealots take note: I have no dog in this fight, I'm just making an observation.)
Lack of confidence is no game
Lastly, I want to report on my attendance at the spring Grant's Conference in New York and the stellar lineup of speakers who were there. I was surprised to hear so many references -- particularly by Stan Druckenmiller and Paul Singer -- to some sort of crisis of confidence that lies ahead. Both of them (and others) feel that the endgame for all the money-printing we have seen is that people at some point will lose confidence in the dollar or the bond market. It's roughly equivalent to what I have referred to as the "funding crisis."
Many people who have grown up knowing only Alan Greenspan or Ben Bernanke at the helm of the Federal Reserve cannot conceive of a market losing confidence in central bankers. But those of us who have been at this long enough (or are students of history, or both) have seen or read about it happening many times in the past, and this is where Druckenmiller and Singer believe we are headed.
It is not possible to know when that might occur, though Druckenmiller made an interesting case as to why it could be as early as 2013. As I have said, the sooner it happens, the less damage will have been done to the U.S. economy in the long run via misallocation of capital and too much debt.
Tried and true, but still trying
I was also interested to note that those two gentlemen, and others, feel that the best way to protect oneself from the predicted outcome, whenever it occurs, is to own gold.
Of course, as we have learned, that does not mean gold will go up every day. On the contrary, the nature of the gold market means having the courage of your convictions tested regularly, as we have since gold hit its high in September 2012.
It is pretty obvious that Europe is headed to another round of quantitative easing, as Spain is coming unglued. I believe weakness in the U.S. stock market and economy will push the Fed toward QE3 within the next couple of months.
So, despite the recent view that central bankers are all on hold, I expect that will change quickly. Another week of stock-market declines and all the Goldilocks believers who were feeling so confident a week or two ago will be begging Bernanke to print more money.
At the time of publication, Bill Fleckenstein owned gold and silver.
I wasn't sure before but now I'm convinced that the labor department is using "fuzzy math", they really need to review the formulas being used, they don't reflect the true number which is closer to 11.5%. I understand why they don't want people to know the actual figure, Obama could never get reelected. I hope the American people are smarter than they were in 2008, if not, you will see unemployment break 16%. When President Romney takes over I believe there will be more businesses hiring and the rate will go down precipitously just like when Reagan was President.
GOD BLESS AMERICA! Please, Please think before you vote!
To blame the democrats for starting the whole financial crisis because the Clinton administration "forced banks to loan to people with bad credit" is way oversimplified and misleading
That is exactly what happened banks loan people with bad credit (US Treasury T-bills) a lot of money $15 trilion dollars said person could not pay back the money hence the run on the US banks which spread world wide.
It's going to happen again soon. The Federal Reserve is going to get very tried of loaning fake money to Uncle Sam and shut the door on us borrowing money.
After all they want to loan everyone's money and if they keep giving the US treasury money and get nothing back in return as the US is now bankrupt.
Comparing President Obama to Jimmy Carter is a severe insult to Jimmy Carter.
Who would have thought we could get a more idiotic, disconnected, empty suit of a man than George Bush?? Well, we got one! All the stupidity multiplied by ten. And even worse, this guy is the absolute king at straight face lying, arrogance, abuse of power, opportunism, pandering, divisiveness and hypocricy.
If he wins a second term, what make anybody think he'll THEN start taking responsibilty for anything that goes wrong?
"Pass this bill now!!!" yeah right you d-bag. Can't even get support from your own party on any of your proposals. Oh yeah, lets have your surrogates play the race card over and over and over again every time you don't get your way. Keep sending your POS AG Holder to harrass folks that call you out.
Then, we stop Social Security entirely for those with AGI's over $250,000 or Net Worth over $5 Million (maybe $10 Million, since a Million is no longer worth that much). We could also means test Medicare. Why should those with lots of money get lower Medicare insurance? Yes, they paid in, but they got a lot by being in a free enterprise system--a little payback is something mentioned in the Bible, if I remember correctly. But then, I don't claim the religiosity most Republicans do.
First of all I don't get my facts from Fox News, but it sounds like you take your direction from the democratic national committee. I don't know what you have been watching but Obama does blame everything on Bush. I never meant to imply that the democrates were totally responsible for the crisis I was only trying to say that the Dems were also involved. If you think that spending money like we have all the money in the world is the way to solve problems then Obama must be the greatest president ever, but there is more to being agreat president than that it involves making tough decisions not just playing to your base. I don't know were your getting your facts but the banks were forced to do alot more than just offer less stringent credit and down payment requirements for working and middles class. You are right that Alen Greenspan deserves alot of the blame. As far as the deficit is concerned Obama has added more in 3 years than Bush added in 8, but of course that is Bush's fault. As far as the wars are concerned why hasn't Obama ended than like he said he would? You say I must be on drugs because I think Bush was a great president, but can't I say the same thing about you and Obama. I could kept going but I need to get up early for work. One last thing, you say Obama dosen't blame Bush, but how many thing of any significance can you name that Obama has accepted resposability for?
Re: jmar93's Reality9999,
To blame the democrats for starting the whole financial crisis because the Clinton administration "forced banks to loan to people with bad credit" is way oversimplified and misleading. First, it simply pushed for less-stringent credit and down payment requirements for working and middle-class families, which was a good thing for a while until the greedy and corrupt elements of banks, Wall Street, and mortgage brokers got involved. In fact, there was bipartisan support for many of the things alleged to have led to the crisis, even the Gramm-Leach act repealing parts of Glass-Steagall. Instead of believing all the simple-minded things fed to you by Fox News or the right-wing nuts on the radio, dig a little deeper into the facts. The things which eventually led to the crisis are complex, but the whole speculative frenzy in many respects was probably a child of deregulation and layered irresponsibility going back to the early 1980s. If you're looking for who to blame, it's a better bet the list should include the Federal Reserve and Alan Greenspan, home buyers who took advantage and bid up the prices of homes excessively, Congress, real estate agents, mortgage brokers, Wall Street firms, the Bush administration (which failed to provide needed government oversight by that point) and a collective delusion. And if you're looking to blame a political party, remember Republicans have been the biggest champions of deregulation for 30 years now. The U.S. economy is enormously complicated, don't oversimplify things with "it was either our team or their team" thinking. You say Bush was a great president? What drug have you been taking? Also, Obama doesn't blame Bush for everything, that's just what you and your cohorts like to think. You should stop blaming Obama for everything, when your Republicans block and obstruct everything he's tried to do to heal the economic mess he inherited, no doubt with the hope he'll be blamed.
Let's not forget the deficit, which got way out of control thanks to Bush starting his illegitimate Iraq war for the benefit of corporations, and giving tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires decreasing revenue while running up trillions, while the middle-class suffered and made less and less, preventing even more potential tax revenue. One thing's for sure, 30 years of BS "trickle down economics" in reality turned out to be "trickle up"- and the American people were soaked, including the ones who are still flimflammed.
- How's eveything here Ben?
- It's all fine Mr President! I received tons of paper sheet and thousands of gallons of ink.
I can print money forever!
Will I get my helicopter? I want to ride in an helicopter!
- Sorry Ben, but I can't. Budget cuts, you know. But I could lend you Marine One for a while...

[BRIEFING.COM] The stock market is doing pretty much what it was expected to do today in front of the FOMC decision (i.e. nothing). The major indices are little changed as traders wait anxiously for the Fed's latest directive and updated economic projections.
Everyone is waiting to see if the "considerable time" language is maintained in the directive after Wall Street Journal Fed watcher, Jon Hilsenrath, suggested yesterday it could be.

Pittsburgh Pirates (47-94)@
Cincinnati Reds (81-61)
Saturday, September 11
Great American Ball Park
Attendance: 36,101

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Joey Votto's leadoff home run in the bottom of the 10th inning lifted the Cincinnati Reds to a 5-4 win over Pittsburgh in the middle installment of a three-game series at Great American Ball Park.
The Reds tied the game in the ninth on a RBI double by Chris Heisey after the Pirates erased a 3-0 deficit to take a 4-3 lead the previous inning.
Votto's 33rd home run of the season and first career walkoff blast helped Cincinnati extend its lead in the NL Central over St. Louis to seven games. The Cardinals lost to Atlanta in extra innings earlier Saturday.
The Pirates were handcuffed by Cincinnati's Edinson Volquez, who was brilliant in his return from the minor leagues.
Volquez, who hadn't started for the Reds since August 23 at San Francisco, was optioned to Class-A Dayton to work on his mechanics. Apparently, the demotion worked because the right-hander was nearly flawless in seven scoreless innings Saturday, retiring the final 19 batters he faced.
However, at 98 pitches, Volquez was replaced by Nick Masset to begin the eighth after striking out 10 and allowing only two baserunners, and a three- run Cincinnati lead evaporated.
Ronny Cedeno hit a one-out single, then scored on a double by pinch-hitter John Bowker. Andrew McCutchen drew a two-out walk to put men on the corners for Jose Tabata, who pushed home a run on an infield hit.
Aroldis Chapman took over on the mound and Neil Walker greeted him by grounding a two-run single up the middle on a 2-0 pitch to put the Pirates on top, 4-3.
With one out in the ninth and a runner on first, Heisey doubled down the left- field line off Joel Hanrahan to bring home the tying run. Hanrahan issued a two-out walk to Brandon Phillips, but got Orlando Cabrera to fly out to force extras.
Francisco Cordero (6-4), who blew a two-run lead in the ninth on Friday, tossed a perfect 10th for the Reds.
In the bottom of the frame, Votto crushed the fourth pitch from Justin Thomas (0-1) over the left-field wall to lift Cincinnati to a season-high sixth straight win at home.
"That's what MVPs do," said Reds manager Dusty Baker about Votto.
Volquez escaped a jam in the first inning. After giving up a one-out single to Tabata, he issued a walk to Garrett Jones to put runners on first and second with two gone for Pedro Alvarez, who flied out to end the threat.
Cincinnati loaded the bases with nobody out in the second against Pittsburgh starter Charlie Morton, but got only one run on a sacrifice fly by Drew Stubbs.
The Reds tacked on two more runs in the seventh. Scott Rolen led off with a double, advanced to third on a Jonny Gomes single and came home on a sac fly by Ramon Hernandez.
Morton was lifted in favor of Chris Resop after a single by Stubbs put men on the corners. Miguel Cairo then lofted a fly ball to center to score Gomes.
"(Morton) was really good. It was nice to see him out there with some confidence and throwing the ball like he is capable of," said Pittsburgh manager John Russell.

Re: How to fix the offense
Next week? Nothing can be done. The plodding sack of **** wearing number 8 will throw picks and fall down. It's going to happen so why worry about it. This season has been a colossal waste of time so the sooner it ends the better. Sadly we won so many games that we'll draft as if we were actually a good team and not just some aberration that picks on weak-sister teams with losing records. Just get it over with and head for the off-season.
Then I think that we invest heavily in the offensive line. I'm talking first day picks and maybe a free agent signing. It's time to take OL picks more seriously.

As of today, there is no cure for COPD, but until a cure is found, we offer a number of treatments that can help people with COPD improve their quality and length of life. The treatments vary depending on how far the disease has progressed and how debilitating the symptoms are. Many of the treatments are aimed at helping alleviate the symptoms, making the patient more comfortable, and improving their quality of life.
Types of treatments can be broken up into the following categories:
Goals of Treatment
The goals of COPD treatment include:
- Relieving your symptoms
- Slowing the progression of the disease
- Improving your tolerance for exercise and physical activity
- Preventing and treating complications
- Improving your overall health
An Expert Team Working for You
Studies have shown that COPD is best treated by experts who are knowledgeable about COPD and experienced in its management. At Northwestern Memorial Hospital, our pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons are experts at treating lung disease, and they are dedicated to detecting disease early, while it's more treatable.
Northwestern Memorial Hospital Asthma-COPD Program
We offer a multidisciplinary Asthma-COPD Program for patients with lung disease such as COPD and asthma. The program includes:
- Same day visits with allergists and pulmonologists
- Integrated care with thoracic surgeons for high risk surgery patients with COPD
- Screening for chronic sinus disease (often co-existent with obstructive lung disease) and assessments by otolaryngology (ENT) physicians
- Advanced diagnostics
- bronchoscopy
- state-of-the-art lung imaging
- Integration with Pulmonary Rehabilitation
- This program is housed at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago where we provide full medical direction
Contact Us
If you have or think you may have COPD, we urge you to seek treatment as soon as possible. If you don't have a physician, and you'd like to make an appointment with someone who understands COPD and how to successfully manage it, you may do so by calling our Physician Referral Department at 1-877-926-4664. You may also request a first time appointment online.
Tune in to Health
Listen to Malcolm M. DeCamp, MD, chief of thoracic surgery, discuss surgical treatment of lung cancer.

Honda stopped production of the NSX supercar back in 2005. And ever since then there were lots of rumors about a successor for the famous car. But now Honda CEO made it official: "I feel that we need to meet the calls from the public asking (for a successor)." However, do not expect to see a production version before 2015.
After the NSX was officially dropped, the only car that had some connection with it was the HSV revealed last year and considered a race-car successor to the NSX.
As for the future sports car there are lots of rumors: first of them said that it will be powered by a 4.5 liter high-rev V10 engine producing around 550 HP. That is actually not the case as Acura has recently patented a new V6 engine that will deliver up to 400 HP, making it a more ideal choice for the sports car once it is coupled to a combination of electric motors. So, the 3,5 liter V6 offered in a supercharged version remains the strongest possibility.

Plum Murder, Finds a friend.0 Reviews
Plum Murder Re unites with her friend....Blue Flare, who brings some unexpected surprises.
I sat with my back against the burnt out old car and started out to the horizon. She'd be here soon enough...right? I sighed and closed my eyes. She wasnt coming. I'd been waiting for 3 hours straight....then....Who do I see? I beamed and ran up to her "Blue Flare!!!" I grasped her into a tight hug, not noticing the 4, 15 year old guys behind her.... "I missed you so much!" I stopped and let her go. "I see you brought some friends......" I smiled and winked at a rather tired looking Party Poison, Fun Ghoul, Jet Star and Kobra Kid. "Why hello boys...What a surprise to see you here~" I laughed and looked at Blue Flare "I take it you already know they guys then...." She slipped a sly wink at me and I laughed. I looked around and saw my beat up old shack in the land of...well....waste. "Uh...I guess I better show you my 'Base' then...Hadnt I?" I flushed a red colour and bit my lip, looking away. Party poison smiled "No Need to be embarrassed about it Plummy...." I laughed and took them to the base...
Blue Flares POV:
When we walked into the shack, we knew, She was well prepared. Plum Murder had everything a Killjoy needs....or, the basic stuff anyway. I liked the base. It was...discrete. Nobody would think it was a top KillJoy hideoout...right? Plum Murder turned and beamed "Right. Tea?" I laughed "Tea?" I said with a slight hint of sarcasm in my voice. I nodded and turned to the others, mouthing, 'Be polite.' They laughed and nodded. "Sure. Why not?" Jet Star decided to chime in "TWO SUGARS PLEASE!"

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I used to be in this exact situation. I played with a friend of mine for hours every day for about a year, and I always chose what to do, especially towards the end. A few times at first she made a suggestion, but when I started getting to a stage where I really didn't want to play a particular alt it dropped off. We had quite a few pairs we could work on, some characters to RP, dungeons to hit and dailies to do... but she stopped choosing, and I always had to. I often said "You decide!" or "I'm tired of choosing, I always choose" but it went nowhere. If I wasn't the one to decide, we did nothing.
I eventually got really tired of it and refused to choose as well, thinking that maybe she'd be forced into deciding. I'd go, "Do you feel like X or Y?" and she'd hmm and think and... never give me a straight answer. She'd try to get me to answer for her (and admitted to this), but I had enough and just stopped. It wasn't that she didn't want to play with me; she'd still log on for the same time every day, she just didn't do anything when she did this time. (And so did I, until I started logging on less because I didn't like the time that was going down the drain.)
For about a month we barely played with each other at all once I'd stopped choosing for her, and the only times we did was when I got fed up and chose anyway. Eventually RL tore me away from the game and we don't play together at all anymore. I don't think we will again 'cause RL is only going to get busier. I think she was insecure; she was a very timid person and rarely, if ever, spoke up. The only time she spoke up was in my defence when I was very upset, and even then she did it in a joking manner that felt more mocking because she was so desperate to avoid conflict.
I don't know what to do, but just don't do what I did! It doesn't work.

I haven't posted on here in a while…
I need to get this out.
I thought it was gone. I honestly thought I was finally and completely getting better. But last night… I don't know how… I don't know why…. but I just was overcome last night. It's like I just, all of a sudden, without warning, could feel absolutely nothing. I had no will to do anything out of my own conscious. I don't know if there were too many thoughts and emotions to feel anything, or if my heart is just finally giving up… but I just can't feel.
I'm only scared of one thing. And that's what's to become of me in the future. As of right now, I don't want to have a future. At all.
I don't want to risk the possibility of not being happy, not being able to support my family, losing those closest to me yet again… I can't take that anymore.
I want this to end. I want this to stop. I want all the ifs to go away. I want all my broken dreams to disappear.
Lately, I've been saying that life's all about making memories.
Well now I want to become a memory.
