Things have been going fairly well, until yesterday. MC is going well as is IC (for me), although she needs it as well, but our insurance won't allow one person to see multiple counselors at a time.
We woke up early that morning and I decided to have wake her up well. After 20 minutes or so, we enjoyed the intimacy. Clearly she did, after multiple orgasms, she began growing louder and louder. This was at approximately 6am. We live in an apartment, with our kids in the next room and neighbors above and below us.
After her fourth orgasm, she screamed so loud that our upstairs neighbors hit the floor five times in a row. At that point, we continued but without realizing it, I found myself shushing her. On the third shush, I was told "WHY ARE YOU SHUSHING ME?!?!"
I replied: "I don't want to bother the neighbors", in a meek and timid voice. She replied - "Fuck the neighbors! They are always making noise! They could have been just making noise like they always are. You care more about how they feel than you do about me. Thanks."
I thought about it and she was right, to an extent. The neighbors could care less, but she was VERY, VERY loud at 6am on a weekday.
After a few minutes past, I apologized and found my WS in the shower crying. I apologized and she said "It's just par for the course. You're always stifling my feelings." At this point, I went into our other bathroom and started to cry. I never want to supress how she or anyone else feels or expresses themselves.
We haven't been intimate since and this was after a difficult weekend which lacked intimacy, affection and sex - she was recovering from oral surgery and I was in charge of the kids and household for the weekend.
She responded positively to texts and turned it around. We began sexting each other. Eventually the day got the best of us and it fizzled out.
When she got home - very late - I was exhausted, as was she. Our two year old would not go to bed and so she fell asleep at 11, while I tended to the two year old until 12:30.
What bothers me is that last night, I told her that I loved her. She simply nodded her head and said "I know." Today I asked her "Do you love me?" She responded "why are you asking me this now?" Granted, I called her at work but it still worried me. After a non-response, she replied "Yes, of course I love you." But quite begrudgingly.
Did I screw up somehow? Any suggestions on how to go forward. Our weekly "state of the relationship" discussion should take place tonight and I'm a bit anxious about it.
Am I going crazy? It's been a little over 2 months since D-Day and there have been ups and downs but I literally am not feeling the love. I can't explain it. I'm overcome with emotion right now and feel the final death of the relationship coming.
We don't have MC until November 8th. While I feel we could use him ASAP, eventually we have to learn to deal on our own.
Any suggestions on what to do? How to act? Should I start following the 180 HARD?
And if she's that loud, she should be shushed! Kids in the next room and neighbors banging on the floor? And you give her multiple orgasms and she's going to COMPLAIN? Whatevs.
FYI, we already ARE in MC and this will certainly be a topic of discussion for our next session if it isn't ironed out by November 8th.
Our marriage was in trouble BEFORE the DDay. The affair is 100% her fault. The marriage is 50/50. I just get the feeling that she is done.
We have a ton of stress on us right now. I lost my job in early July and we've fallen far behind on bills. I'm considering bankruptcy. She is upset that we don't live in or own a home after five years of marriage. We're holding on to this marriage by a thread.
@oldcow18 - I agree and I'm angry at myself for feeling like I'm somehow at fault. Most women would let it go, but she takes it as a rejection and ties it into the greater scheme of our relationship instead of just looking at this incident and letting it go.
Maybe I need to let her go. But I love her and love my family and want to give it my all to stay together.
sorry, I guess I have nothing constructive to add... I thought you did right.

"It''s just par for the course. You''re always stifling my feelings."
^^This needs to be explored more in your MC session. Sounds like something she is building resentment over perhaps?
@vivere - you're correct. We'll discuss tonight during our "state of the relationship" weekly meeting. If it's not satisfied, or even if it is, it will get talked about in MC.
I'm angry at myself for feeling like I'm somehow at fault.
"You're always stifling my feelings."
I literally am not feeling the love.
I'm overcome with emotion right now and feel the final death of the relationship coming.
I replied: "I don't want to bother the neighbors", in a meek and timid voice
BTW, you are only 2 months out from d-day and your WW has got this all twisted around on you? Fuck that shit!
you give her multiple orgasms and she's going to COMPLAIN? Whatevs.
Yes, you definitely need to talk about this. However, I don't feel you owe her any kind of apology. You were uncomfortable, she should respect your feelings. It wasn't the neighbors feelings, it was yours!

Fuck the neighbors! They are always making noise!
Part of the reason why she was upset because she wasn't DONE.
"It's just par for the course. You're always stifling my feelings."
After a non-response, she replied "Yes, of course I love you." But quite begrudgingly.
Her sense of entitlement is disgusting

you lost me at four orgasms...
I am there. Wow...you give her four orgasms each time? Just...wow...I...um..wow....can you give my WH lessons?
Oh...sorry...seriously....I do understand you shushing her so I think she is over reacting. And I don't understand why she wouldn't say she loved you. ETA: I believe the others,and your own, suggestion about talking it over are great. I hope it goes well. I'm sorry for the above joke...just wanted to lighten the mood a little...even though it's really not a light subject at all.

She is ignoring everyone's boundries, yours, the kids, the neighbors and she is acting like she is the only one who is mattering.
The next time she is screeching after 4 orgasms, stick a fork in her and tell her that she is DONE.
To me, she sounds like she is manipulating you. Especially when she turned this to be about you failing to meet her needs. She led you on knowing you would be bothered by not saying I love you and by withdrawing from you. Not sure what she is trying to prove, but there is something there. I agree is also needs to be explored in MC.
If tonight's conversation doesn't help iron out the issues, I would recommend the 180. You have given her the gift of R...she is jeopardizing it with her behavior.
Hugs to you.
First, I like the idea of discussing what is expected ahead of time...ie, no screaming due to kids or use a pillow if you need to be loud. Failure to explain expectations can easily lead to resentment.
Second, you are only 2 months out.....gently....Fuck her reaction of crying. I say that with kindness. I was way too kind and understanding after my DD. It cost me my self respect and bought my wife time to take her EA to a PA while in weekly MC sessions with scattered IC sessions ....I enabled her to continue to inflict pain on me and further damage our family. This will be a long standing regret....I use my actions then to conquer my FOO issues now so as to never return to that spot again. I pray our daughters operate from a more healthy standpoint in their future marriage should they find themselves in the role of a BS. Of course, I pray they avoid this life-event all together.
I am projecting here quite a bit...but your wifes abnormally strong reaction to your sshhhing her may be tied to your controlling nature (as she suggests) but it could also be a deflection of sorts...to push herself back from her own pain and place the source of the pain temporarily onto your shoulders. I see very few WS who have strong remorse just 2 months out.....see even fewer of those that are women. My gut tells me women that cheat have a stronger bond to their AP then men do....is harder to break. Her outburst may be a way to distance herself from working on herself....and focusing her attention more towards....It is my husbands fault....sort of thinking.
I believe conflict avoiding is a character trait of many WS....what better way to avoid the strong internal conflict inside oneself then by focusing on anyone else.
My two cents.
God be with you both.

Agree. And she should be putting you & the kids first right now.
You are walking on eggshells.
I also walked on eggshells after Dday.
(Not that I was afraid WH would leave---that never entered my mind because he never intended to leave---I just didn't know if I wanted him back after he did such a horrific thing.)
But I see now that I walked on eggshells, & still do sometimes, because deep down
I am afraid that he went outside of the marriage because I am unlovable(there is something intrinsically wrong with me.)
I can tell you, Reegz, that it is not your fault, anything you did (including job problems, etc.), that caused your WW to cheat on you---because just by reading your thread I sense that you are a good person, a good husband, a good father. It is not easy to really believe this about ourselves tho.
It really had nothing to do with you. It is because she is selfish.
I think you need to start the 180. Stop worrying so much if she is going to leave, & start thinking about if you want to stay with someone who would treat you that way after you gave her the pleasure of 4 orgasms.
found my WS in the shower crying
I actually snorted when I read this. Really>? Okay, well she should get over it.
She sounds like she has a superiority complex, doesn't matter about the neighbours at SIX AM or the kids or you.
It's just not respectful.
The begrudging etc well it's not very nice is it. Waywards are supposed to be nice and respectful and sensitive to your feelings. She's not.
I lost my job in early July and we've fallen far behind on bills. I'm considering bankruptcy.
In terms of bankruptcy this is not too much I can comment on except that I hope you've looked into consolidating your debts or transferring bills onto a interest free 6 month credit card. See if you can get someone to co-sign on this, such as a relative.
Also working at a bar etc is not beneath you. I, like you was in a very precarious situation last year and worked at a bar and a telemarketing company (I was only thinking about this earlier ughhh) but as of 28/10/13! I have $500 to pay off next pay cycle and I am free!
Look into churches as well they have some great schemes and ofcourse social welfare. There are also some charity legal aid (not official) ones out there and I found it (not very) useful in my situation but I do know that a few people there had appointments for bankruptcy and they were 'saved' by the lawyers giving them template responses.
By the way if it is big telephone companies, if you escalate on them repeatedly you can generally get them to suspend the bills for a couple of months before a payment plan is instigated (did this as well).
If you don't have a house or any other big ticket loans. There seems to be always a way.
Granted this advice is based in Australia so I am not too sure how much this applies for you.
Also I am not into personally (but I do not judge) public begging but I have a few friends who cannot afford vet bill sell something in return for money (example music).
Either way your wife needs to get with the program. Would claiming bankruptcy impact her, could this stem from some of her over-emotional reactions?
Also I've heard it is nowhere near as bad in the US to claim bankruptcy??
The big question is, why are YOU comforting HER? Why are YOU worried about HER feelings? Poor dear, she cheated! Yup -- that makes sense!
Yes, 180 time. She's supposed to be winning YOU back, not vice versa. And you have to think about why you're enabling this drama queeen.
Sorry -- I know that's pretty harsh and not a gentle 2x4 at all. I have to work on the "gentle" part...

She is upset that we don't live in or own a home after five years of marriage.
She is? Well, why doesn't she take her massive salary and trust fund and buy a home? What's that? She has neither of those? Then who is she to be complaining about not owning a home? If she can't buy one all by herself then she really shouldn't be bitching about it to you.
And since when is screaming a feeling? It's a physical feeling, but she should really have an ounce of modesty and not want to be screaming in the scenario you've presented.
To me, it sounds like she is really upset about something else, and used this as a way to vent. I doubt this is the real issue because telling a yelling woman to keep it down is not something to flip out over.
I'm curious how the discussion went last night. Did it go well?
Former 80s Icon wishful thinking
I'm sorry but she was the WS, and she is still manipulating you and making you feel bad. Why in world does she need to put on a show, and holler and scream whan you are going at it at 6am? Seriously?
This is coming from someone who also gets to have multiple O's when we have sex, and honestly I can be really loud, but when the kids are home I try to keep it to low grunts, or use a pillow to stifle the sounds. She should have some self respect, and dignity. Not flaunting it for the kids and neighbors to know that she getting off while the rest of the world is getting up.
As far as I am concerned this is attention seeking behavior, the loudness, the crying after, the manipulative bs of "stifling" her feelings.
She needs to find a better way to express her feelings other than blaming others.
I'm sorry, but she doesn't get it yet.
And the not caring about the neighbors, much less your KIDS, makes me think she's still in selfish land.
To respond to some specifics: Right now, she is NOT in IC. Our insurance won't allow her to see two therapists at once. Since I'm in IC, that's my therapist. The MC counts as her therapist. This is bad for us as you'll soon read/see. I don't to talk US politics. We're not allowed to in this forum.
A few of asked me to talk about what happened last night, when we talked. When I have time, I may start a new thread as this topic is evolving.
Long story short, the topic of our morning lovemaking was MINOR, although discussed and she agreed to keep it down. As I suspected, it was something much greater. As I felt, she asked to let out of the relationship. She told me that she didn't respect me and didn't feel she could move on from all of the damage that has occurred in the relationship. She told me that she is not in love with me and doesn't think she'll be able to change how she feels.
She also told me that as hard as this was, she wanted to keep the divorce/split as amicable as possible as we would be dealing with our children. She told me that she wanted to be happy and that she wanted me to be happy and that this was the best way.
She then began to be honest, finally, as she has not been completely honest in MC. She told me of a ONS before we were married, she told me of a ONS, from one year ago when her father died. She began to tell me of the sexual abuse she received as a child, and as a teenager from family members and non-family members. She told me of the two times she was raped as a teenager. As I love her, my heart sank and I felt her pain. She needs IC badly. So badly that I think I may see if I can get my shrink to go pro-bono with me, so I can be the patient for MC and she can then get the IC she desperately needs. She may be a sex addict, I don't know. But she is not a throwaway, and my family is not a throwaway. I believe that this can be salvaged, but she needs to love me and respect me and right now she doesn't. I asked her if there is any chance that her perspective could change - she responded "Yes, but I'm not sure if its possible. I don't know if I can get over it." I told her, this is why we need MC and you need IC. I reminded her that we've been in MC only two months. I asked her for a little more time to see what evolves. She did admit that things have gotten a little better but that ultimately, she doesn't feel she can shake her feelings. I kept on it and asked her to simply see the MC process out. I believe that this is part of the process.
I didn't not accept this resignation from the relationship. She did not believe my response. I told her that I had imagined the worst possible scenario. That she had sex with the NY Giants Football team for 2 years. The entire team...without protection. I put this in my head to get over her infidelities. I knew that other things had happened but that she wasn't ready to tell me.
She believes I deserve better person and partner. She's right, I do. I told her "I deserve a better YOU. Let's make it happen. I am not allowing you to quit on me, on this marriage and on this family without putting in your best possible effort in MC and IC. You haven't done that yet. When you do and it's obvious that this your feelings aren't going to change, then we're done. I told her that it was as if we were digging for oil and we were two feet from it and she decided to call it quits because we hadn't hit oil yet. I told her, "Quit being so selfish and looking for an easy way out. It's time to confront all of these issues and sort through them. If we don't make it out together, at least we'll make it out. But the lying, the cowardice, the bullshit, it all stops here and our new lives starts NOW."
FYI, last night and this AM, we did have sex, but she kept it to a minimum with volume, but doubled the orgasm rate.
While I'm glad that she was honest, I am not some monster like Ariel Castro from Cleveland, I will not hold her hostage. I just want her to honor her vows and work through the issues.
Yes, I agree that you both have nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing your best to improve/heal yourselves.
You can find the 180 in the Healing Library. BS FAQ's #11. That is probably a good idea, Reegz. Did you get the feeling she was remorseful?
eta: Oh, just read your last post about your WW still having "feelings" for the AP. (hhmmm, had a feeling she was pissed at you for "stifling her feelings" for AP) Yeah, the 180 is an excellent idea. Do not let her cry on your shoulder about AP, which it doesn't sound like either of you have allowed this to happen.
Also, another suggestion. How about dropping MC for now since WW isn't all in anyway? I feel it is pointless to do MC in that case. Can you both go to IC's and drop the MC? I feel that would be the better thing at this point. Yes, your WW really needs IC!
[This message edited by SisterMilkshake at 10:30 AM, October 30th (Wednesday)]
I think you are very loving to be willing to R with all of these revelations. The 'not respecting' you is concerning. Is that because you are willing to accept all of this? If so, she clearly doesn't see the strength and love that this takes, but also if it is, and you want to save your family, I think you're going to have to start making HER the one to want R, not you. She may feel that you're willing to let her walk all over you, and that isn't something most women want (or men, either).
Here is the link you've requested
I'm not trying to hurt you - I'm just trying to help you see that with a WS, things are absolutely not always as they appear.
In regards to burner phone, I asked and I've searched my entire apartment. I've found nothing. You're right. Things are not always as they appear. While I feel we've made a huge breakthrough, I also feel that I'm still walking on eggshells and to make myself feel better, I'm seeing an attorney on Friday.
Not everybody in that specialty is effective as a therapist, so be very careful in picking one. One basic protection is to check to ensure the therapist hasn't been sanctioned by any state or professional organization.

Google blames Gfail on 'availability' upgrade
Calling Tuesday's one-hour-and-forty-minute Gmail outage a "Big Deal," Google has pinned the breakdown on some recent changes to the request routers that direct queries to the service's web servers. Ironically, at least some of the changes were meant to improve Gmail's ability to stay online. But Google underestimated the load …
Typical Google responce, which I think is one of their strongest assets. It's an clear honest, technical explanation about the problems and what they intend do in the future in order to prevent it again.
Not just a 'we're sorry, we're looking into it' response that you get from 99% of all the other big names.
The googits don't know what "testing" means ...
"The company says it will spend the next few weeks correcting the problem"
Weeks? WEEKS?? WTF? I've almost been convinced to use an icon button!
Pardon me while I continue to run my own email system.
classic misdesign
Such a classic case of designing individual equipment to protect itself when under overload, instead of designing the *system* as a whole to be resilient.
It's the same problem that has caused power outages in the past, when an overloaded generator would disconnect to protect itself, thus just increasing the overload on the rest of the network. A better response is to shed load.
I suppose it's the usual dot.com problem of a new company hiring lots of whizz kids with bright ideas and absolutely no experience of the real world and historical events. They just keep re-inventing the same old wheels, with the same old problems. Electricity and phone companies learned that lesson a long time ago. Looks like the dot.com industry wasn't listening, and hasn't read the books yet. Maybe someone should Google for "network resilience"
And they want...
...us to hand all our apps and business over to them....
1 1/2 hrs downtime for a business can seem like a lifetime. Maybe not to a normal user, but to a business, this could cost millions of lost revenue.
My Hardware, My Software, My Downtime. Stuff this Web2.1 cloud crap....
It is outrageous that they could let something like this happen.
Wont someone think of the children??!1?!!!9.
Big Deal?
Hardly. Okay, so they've had, what, 2-3 outages this year, totalling about 3 hours? Not exactly a bad record, considering the infrastructure they're running and the costs people pay to use it.
Great that they've learned from the experience and can increase resiliency, but I think they do pretty well, all things considered.
+5 Insightful
You can bitch and moan as much as you like about this failure (but you'd be a dick for doing so because nobody ever gets 100% uptime); the good part is that it allows us a fascinating glimpse inside the world of scalability on a Google scale.
And thus...
is the reason this whole cloud for everything idea is utterly bloody stupid!
It simply can not be trusted, be it the companies holding all your data, or the fact anything goes wrong you are left in the lurch for hours, or having to trust a company like BT to actually reach it.
This whole cloud idea is like opening a cheapass bar in the middle of a minefield. The idea behind the cheapass booze isn't bad, the problem is just getting it reliably.
I heard
I heard that Google uses BT Home Hubs for it's routers, bloke down the pub said so.
Didn't tell them to bring other request routers online at top speed???
I'd have thought that would have been automated..
Coordinated outage
Maybe Google could make this a selling point: if you're on Gmail, everyone loses their email at once - whereas in the old days your Exchange Server might be down during the one brief period of the week when your client's Internet Mail Server was actually up.
It is not quite "business in real time", but at least it's "business in Google's Own Sweet Time".
Still good reliabilty
I'll qualify this by saying I only check my gmail about 5 or 6 times a day, but since I signed up when it was an early Beta 2004 I've only seen about 5 outages, which makes it way more reliable than the mail service provided by huge globo-corp I work for...
@Big Deal?
By my mathematical genius I reckon 3 hours per year outage is approximately 99.966% uptime which is a long way (in real terms) from the 5 nines Holy Grail of service delivery.
Yes, I know it is free, and if you can't go without your "free" email for a couple of hours then you really need to take stock of your priorities in life, but as Google want us all to trust them with data, apps and everything webby they really have to do much better than this.
And the moral of this story is...
Always choose an email supplier in a radically different time zone that does their upgrades when you're in bed...
@Allan Rutland
One can only assume that you have bought a dedicated connection, dispensed with the need for an ISP, handle your own DNS, email etc and have no interaction with any other persons or company when you connect to the web.
Thought not.
The fact remains that whether it's Hotmail in 1997 or GMail today, we all like a little web-based email from time to time! That comes with its risks (downtime). I don't know anyone who relies solely on Gmail to run a business (and if they did, I'm pretty sure they'd have other email addresses and/or the savvy to use POP3/SMTP)
It really hit me hard...
... I couldn't access my spam, fake signup account details, newsletters or twitter alerts.
I was lost, running around the office crying "oh my God, oh my God, my life is over!"
I learnt a hard lesson yesterday, I will never again entrust my important email correspondence to the Chocolate Factory. (Shakes fist at sky in anger)
RE: @Allan Rutland / AC
"dispensed with the need for an ISP, handle your own DNS, email etc and have no interaction with any other persons or company"
lol you fail ... Alan is saying don't put all your eggs in 1 baskets, which is exactly what these "cloud " service providers are asking you to do, when it goes tits up, so does your whole business.
Wheely-chair critics
I love how many armchair critics there are on El Reg, ready to chip in with their superior knowledge and hindsight.
Isn't Imap wonderful
So I was worried? Was I inconvenienced? No and No.
Cloud Computing->Terminal Services->Mainframes
Mainframes used originaly for things like docs etc (think TV:Drop the Dead Donkey). Then moved to client PC's.
PC's get Terminal Services ....... TS dies a fads death, back to Client PC's
PC's get Cloud computing, dump the PC, use a cheap desktop web client........
anyone see the pattern?
Oh FYI, i've been a paid member of mail2web for over 2 years now and its NEVER been down for me using Exchange via WinMob and desktop Webclient. So yes, you can have 100% up time, at least thats my experience.
@ Allan
Cheers, that's the best cloud analogy I've heard yet!
FREE... I'll say it again. FREE. 99.9% uptime on a service you don't pay for and yet some smug gits still want to be clever and bleat on about their own mail servers etc. Really guys, get a grip. Not every company has the time and resources (my own included) to maintain a mail server and even if we did, if it went down we'd then have to spend time and money fixing it.
Gmail goes down, ok it might cost you some time lost and as a result some business money but at least you won't have to replace that gubbed hard drive, router, cabling or whatever caused the problem in the first place and spend hours figuring out whats broken in the first place.
They go down, they fix it, zero cost to us. We use gmail and frankly didn't even realise it had been down until I read it on the Reg, zero time spent fixing it, zero cost, zero need for being a smug git.
Meh but Duh.
Hasn't this 'failover' issue happened several times before at Google? IIRC the last time it took out the Google Search engine? Their upgrades do seem to throw spanners into the cogs on a regular basis, and the cause often seems to be other data centres refusing to take the extra load and shutting down.
But hey, its not like I pay for the service (other than handing over the wholesale records of my life), its not like I couldn't still receive the emails (my non-iphone not on an O2 network uses IMAP) and since when did email become something that required immediate response? Guys, if its that critical that you need to communicate with someone, there's a few inventions out there such as a "telephone", "pub" or even if you need to send written communications a "fax".
Compare this to O2's outage response
This is exactly the reason I continue to trust Google - they keep you informed throughout an outage, take downtime very seriously, and quickly release the information on why it happened. They are not matched by any other service in terms of sheer number of users and size of infrastructure. Managing this is never going to be easy, and all things considered, I think they do a pretty good job.
When data was unavailable through my O2 phone (and most others in the country) for pretty much all of Saturday, their Twitter account was silent, their service status webpage was non-existent, and when they finally admitted to the outage, it was said to be 'down for 2 hours'. No reason, no technical info, no reassurances it was going to be fixed to prevent it happening again. I had to rely on 3rd parties (Carphone Warehouse's Twitter account) for information. O2 could learn a lot from Google's honest approach to customer service.
Most people realise 100% uptime is unlikely at best, but it's how you manage downtime that matters. Staying silent is the worst thing any company can do.
Re: FREE
<mumble> It's only free if your privacy, confidentiality, sanity and time have no value...</mumble>
/me walks away shaking head at the latest fad of cloud (nebulous and vapour-like) computing.
Gmail, web mail? Cloud? Is this something I should know about?
title goes here
Any of you ever tried to reroute trafic between data centers while taking down several load balancers / request routers, oh and I mean on the fly with people attempting to access those very services your working on.
If you can answer that with yes then your comments might have some validity.
As for the rest of these commenters.
@Monty Burns
You may not have noticed, but google "mail2web outage" and you'll see plenty of evidence.
No mail provider of any scale is immune to outages, and certainly not at the cost to the customers that Google provides (even for those enterprise Gmail users). As has been said a few times, it's how the organisation communicates and handles an outage that defines it, not some > 100% uptime figure.
99.9% sucks
So that means they're down nearly 9 hours a year (which of course is complete crap on a weighted average basis per user). I wonder how they count scheduled maintenance windows?
Don't they understand that getting the last additional 0.009% (hence 99.99% - or less than an hour of downtime a year - an acceptable number) is the key mark of stability? Problem is so much money (even for Google) needs to be spent at that scale to get there.
@99.9% sucks
What? Nine hours a year is complete crap? I'd love to see how you justify that, even with your "weighted average basis" of course (whatever that means). Even assuming your weighted average basis means the CEO gets all nine hours of downtime at once, I suspect you'd be hard pressed to make a case that it caused anything other than inconvenience.
But the real question isn't one of absolutes. Say Google only gets 99.9%, or 99.7, or 99.99. How does that compare to what the alternatives are? No service is perfect, even ones administered internally. Perhaps *especially* ones administered internally, if you're a small company.
So, figure out if your favorite other service is better. If it is, figure out by how many hours better it is, divide that by it's cost, and compare that to your potential lost revenue from down time. If it's cheaper to just suffer through a bit of down time, guess which way companies will go? And if it's cheaper to pay to not suffer the downtime, guess which way they'll go?
it indeed sucks
By weighted average, I mean the countless times that users or blocks of users are down but it's not large enough (or in the public eye) to be counted as a technical downtime.
If inconvenience means that a business is crippled in supporting its customers or communicating with potential customers for an extended period of time than sure, it really doesn't matter.
It all really comes down to who you are. As an individual with the typical service level individuals demand, 99.9% (or even lower) is fine. As a business that relies on email as a critical mode of communication it is not an acceptable level.
As far as alternatives considering how inexpensive things are, with minimal effort and expense you can well exceed 99.9% managing an internal mail system. This would be appropriate obviously again for businesses of some size (say ~50 employees or more). Agreed that no system is perfect.
My point is that Google touts 99.9% as a great number and as someone who has had overall responsibility for managing internal operations of a small business (email included) I would have been fired quickly if that was my number.
@Matt 89
ROFL Good one
Google do email now?
Whatever next?
"As a business that relies on email as a critical mode of communication it is not an acceptable level."
Email is not suitable for critical communications. It is "best effort" only ...
That said, I can provide 100% uptime of YOUR end of the email system. For a price. Everyone else, of course, will be on their own ... which is why most email systems will make several tries to deliver outbound email, over [insert user configurable time frame here] ... which in turn kinda makes 100% uptime at your end a silly waste of money. (My own email system has been available to me, friends & family for about a quarter century. It's a research thingie, it ain't cheep, and I don't recommend trying this at home.).
Or, you can use google ... oh, wait ...

|Leo Gura
After reading Koster's A Theory of Fun, I've been thinking a lot lately about what games are at their core.
The problem with story and games is not challenge -- good stories are full of challenge -- it's that play is an exploration of possibility space, whereas story is one specific path through the possibility space. In this sense, traditional story and gameplay are inherently at conflict. The player isn't meaningfully interacting with your story (actually playing with it) unless he is exploring various ways it might unfold. And most games only allow players to do this through save/load, which is very unsatisfying.
If there's no way for players to actually toy around with the story, it's just a rehash of the cut-scene model. But this isn't always bad. Half-Life 2, for example, does a great job of immersing me in a linear narrative, and that satisfies a certain aesthetic.
|Glenn Storm
Fantastic analysis, Emily! Food for thought. Let me grab a fork. What a great way to start the week!
|Justin Gibbs
Great points however I'm still a little weary if games can support all the forms of story movies can, or even half of them. Leo brings up a good point, we play games for fun and part of that is exploration. If for example I was given the ability to explore in the movie Star Wars I doubt I'd care much about the characters after 10 minutes. I'd be more interested in crashing the Millenium Falcon in the biggest explosion possible. It's just the nature of play.
I actually think getting to other forms of story will be an exercise in employing constraints, which is counter to the idea of exploration and play. The movie version of Star Wars works because I don't have agency and because the story is done correctly, I take on the role of Luke. I experience his trial and tribulations - it's a ride. Give me agency and I'm more inclined to play. There may be some wiggle room however, but traditionally the gamer audience has always gone for more agency over story. Perhaps that will change in the future though.
|Jeppe Bisbjerg
You indeed have a couple of really good points, however I get the feeling that you twist the truth a little bit, for example here: "That is to say: in order to try to accomplish a goal, the player has to know what that goal is in advance, and the goal has to remain essentially stable as the player moves toward it. So this leads to dull challenge narratives: "Thog approached the dragon, climbed on its back, and drove the sword into the back of its head." That might be a delightful passage to play, and figuring out how to climb on the back might take a lot of work, but the story is not interesting."
This is true, the way you describe it makes a very boring story, however you left out all the descriptions that are a visual part of computergaming. The story could easily have been, "Thog approached the sleeping dragon, the darkness in the cave was nearly complete(we would observe this), smoke was coming from it's nostrils(we would observe this) etc. etc." What I'm trying to say is that narrative comes in many forms, I would advice you to take a look at Queneau's Exercices de Style, the same story told 99 times. Computer designers could learn a lot from this as an iterative process, everytime you present the same story a different way, you present new challenge.

Communication Technologies That Governments Can — And Cannot — Easily Squash
Widespread street protests and violence in Egypt have spooked the government into shutting down the Internet and disrupting phone service, according to many reports. This draconian measure of severing the country's electronic ties both within and without has been described as unprecedented in the modern, interlinked world.
In times of upheaval, governments have often historically tried to quell dissent by limiting their citizenry's means of organization. Other recent examples of unrest in Iran and Tunisia fueled in part by the Internet have suggested that electronic means of subversion can pose a genuine threat, however, to unpopular governments.
Here is a ranking of the vulnerability of various methods of communication – ranging from the high- to the low-tech – to being intercepted, blocked or cut off by a government that believes it is in peril.
6) Radio and television stations
These older means of electronic communication have proven especially prone to government clampdowns. Officials need only to turn off the transmitter of radio wave frequencies for radio and television sets that use antennas to receive their information.
Cable-based television, of course, relies on the transmission of signals via wires in the ground, but this too can be easily cut off by a government, as described next.
5) The Internet, cell phones, landlines
The Internet, cell phones and cable television depend in most instances on the same landline infrastructure that supports non-wireless phone calls. These landlines, in turn, are operated by telecommunications companies, whom in Egypt's case are legally bound to follow the government's decree to stop the signal flow.
"Everything from Twitter to texting all go through a small number of carriers," said Andrew Odlyzko, a mathematician at the University of Minnesota who studies Internet-related issues.
As such, "any standard communication technology can be easily shut down," Odlyzko said.
In Egypt, when it comes to online matters, the task is made still easier by the fact that only four Internet service providers supply much of the country with Internet access.
"Egypt shut down Internet communication because there are not very many connections, nor phone companies, so there are only a few wires, so to speak," said Martin Libicki, an analyst in cyber issues for the Rand Corporation.
Egypt also presents a particularly good geographical scenario for the rattled government to squash Internet and cell phone communications, experts say. The country's population of 80 million is largely concentrated around the Nile River and its delta, and then surrounded by desert, so cell phone networks from neighboring countries do not leak in and offer Egyptians a way to stay online.
4) Satellite communications
A much trickier source for a government to silence is satellite-based communications, including phone, Internet and television
Phone and Internet service via satellite is expensive, however, and little used compared to conventional land-based options. "You need a certain amount of money [for satellite communication], and if you can afford it, you're probably not one of the protesters because you're doing well," said Libicki.
Satellite television, on the other hand, is popular in Egypt, as well as across the Arab world and in the United States. But satellite television is not configured as a two-way means of communication. Instead, it is designed for broadcasting, Libicki pointed out. And given the immense expense of placing satellites into orbit, those who control what is ultimately beamed down from space are governments and large companies.
3) Shortwave radio
A means of communication among would-be revolutionaries that is not very vulnerable to being cut off is shortwave or ham radio .
These setups, which can be battery-powered and hence portable, have been used by spies to transmit messages back to their home countries right under the noses of unwitting host governments. "Shortwave radio is a staple of World War II and Cold War-era spy novels," said Odlyzko.
To silence ham radio communiqués, a government would have to dispatch perhaps several agents with detectors in order to triangulate the location of a shortwave radio transmitter, and then physically seize or destroy the equipment, Odlyzko said.
Very few people around the world have the equipment and training, not to mention a government license (required in the U.S.) to operate shortwave radios, however. Rand's Libicki called shortwave radio an "esoteric profession," and thus the technology is not particularly well-suited to getting a message out to the distraught masses.
2) Fliers, CDs and tapes
A decidedly low-tech way to get the word out is to write up or print fliers and banners. Anonymous protest-encouraging leaflets and well-produced packets with instructions on how to peacefully oppose the government have been distributed in Egypt, according to various reports.
A more complex means of communication is to record audio or video information on a form of media, such as a compact disc or a cassette tape, the latter of which figured prominently in the Iranian Revolution of 1979.
All of the above items, of course, are very difficult to intercept on an individual basis, and so have remained viable means of fighting the power, so to speak, now as in times past.
1) Face-to-face communication
As long as one can speak and move about with some freedom, the human voice remains the most difficult means of communication to silence.
Governments including Egypt's in the present upheaval have imposed curfews in an attempt to limit peoples' ability to congregate and spread news verbally. Yet as the long history of the downfalls of rulers – or whole governments – at the hands of an enraged and engaged populace show, sometimes a revolutionary tide cannot be turned.

Alisia Dragoon is a side-scrolling platform game developed by Game Arts in association with Gainax. It was released in 1992 for the Sega Genesis.It follows the adventures of a barbarian warrior sorceress, Alisia, and her four familiars - Dragon Frye, Thunder Raven, Boomerang Lizard, and Ball O' Fire - as they seek to stop the revival of the demon Baldour, whose followers tortured Alisia's wizard father to death in front of her when she was young. Standing in their way are Baldour's followers and minions, highest among them his aide, Ornah.Alisia herself uses Thunder Magic, which auto-aims at nearby enemies. The game is a combination of platforming and shooting, and a cautious attitude helps; Alisia's magic needs to be recharged between each shot, as well as the familiars' attacks. Dragon Frye shoots up to three fireballs, Thunder Raven takes the longest to charge up but has quite a payoff with a massive thunderclap that damages everything onscreen, Boomerang Lizard throws up to three homing boomerangs from his back, and Ball O' Fire can be manipulated into ramming enemies to do damage and absorb projectiles.

Although it was one of the last major banks to launch an iPhone app, Capital One is now positioning itself to be a leader in mobile. Its April 5 iPhone app update included a new rewards function that's the best I've seen.
Rewards point totals are clearly shown on an old-school "flip number" display (see screenshot right). But the novel part, and this may be an industry first, is the ability to redeem rewards in real-time, for travel purchases you've ALREADY MADE. (You can also redeem for cash or gift cards.)
I thought this was some kind of typo when I first saw it in the marketing material. So I tested it myself this morning. And sure enough it does exactly what it says.
Previous travel purchases made on the Capital One card are displayed in the app. Users select the one(s) they want to redeem for mileage points and Capital One provides a statement credit to refund the user for the purchase. Brilliant!
Capital One's mobile reward redemption for previous travel (20 April 2012)
Note: Select a transaction (below left), confirm (below right).
I also like Capital One's new app "home page." Instead of forcing a login before users can do anything, the bank offers several non-secure content areas:
- Browse our products
- Find branch/ATM
- Mobile banking FAQ
- Contact us
These are useful for customers who can't or don't want to log in. And of course, for prospects kicking the "mobile tires" at the bank.

Last season, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles battled New York Jets quarterback Michael Vick for the starting quarterback position during training camp. Foles ultimately lost the battle to Vick during the preseason. Vick eventually sustained an injury that opened the door for Foles to shine. After starting a little over 11 games last season, Foles threw 2,891 yards, 27 touchdowns and two interceptions. This season is unlike anything Foles has encountered in his very short NFL career. Foles is first on the depth chart and is the undisputed starter for the Philadelphia Eagles going into the 2014 season.
Shock waves were sent through the NFL on Wednesday when the San Fransisco 49ers announced quarterback Colin Kaepernick's massive contract. Kaepernick's signed a six year $126 million dollar contract including $61 million guaranteed, which will make him the highest paid quarterback in the NFL. That got me to thinking, what is Philadelphia Eagles Nick Foles worth? Foles, playing on his rookie deal, will be eligible for a contract extension after the 2014 season.
Nick Foles will be eligible for a contract extension at the end of the Philadelphia Eagles 2014 campaign. However, Foles cannot worry about playing for a contract this season. The Eagles quarterback needs to focus on getting better everyday and competing for the betterment of the Philadelphia Eagles. If Foles can build upon his outstanding 2013 campaign, the Eagles should pay Foles accordingly. The Eagles have plenty of salary cap space to reward their young core of young players. Foles is not the only player eligible for an extension at the end of the season, and the Eagles brass know this. The organization freed up a significant amount of cap space by releasing Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson during the offseason.
If Nick Foles plays the way he did in 2013, there is no reason the Eagles should not pay their outstanding starting quarterback. The Eagles have been looking for their savior at the quarterback position. Can Nick Foles be the starting quarterback for the future?

Most people recognize somewhat in relation to Newcastle even if they have never ever recently been generally there.

Newcastle have risen towards concern and is a new growing brand-new metropolis.
The modern-day nighttime lifestyle will be supposed to be the most beneficial being offered throughout Great britain using brs, bars along with clubs and casinos across the Great Industry, The Checkpoint along with Quayside areas with the metropolis.

text: Art September 23, 2013 Issue Strange Days MOMA refreshes the image of the Surrealist René Magritte. By Andrea K. Scott Table of Contents "The Treachery of Images (This Is Not a Pipe)" (1929), by René Magritte. Credit Los Angeles County Museum of Art © Charly Herscovici/ADAGP/ARS, 2013. René Magritte was a pop-culture meme years before there was an Internet. In 1951, when CBS aired a new logo—a stylized eye hovering in a cloud-clotted sky—it bore an uncanny resemblance to his painting "The False Mirror" (1928). (The sky was later removed by the network.) Over the years, Magritte's art has been hijacked for designs ranging from the Beatles' record label to a Volkswagen ad to a bowler-hat light fixture. The Belgian Surrealist, who died in 1967, at age sixty-eight, is still going viral: in April, an anonymous artist started a Tumblr called Super Magritte, reimagining the artist's works as 8-bit designs by Nintendo. In one case, the locomotive that floats indelibly in the fireplace of the painting "Time Transfixed" (1938) is replaced by Super Mario's slow-moving bullet. Magritte's enduring popularity has edged his once shocking imagery into the realm of cliché. But his radical use of language and his transposition of the banal and the unnerving set a precedent. Would the enigmas of Jasper Johns's flags or Ed Ruscha's deadpan pairing of image and text have been conceivable otherwise? Magritte, who dressed like a banker and was known to paint at his dining-room table, saw himself as a "secret agent" in the war on bourgeois values. He once said of his mission, "Too often by a twist of thought, we tend to reduce what is strange to what is familiar. I intend to restore the familiar to the strange.'' New Yorkers can recapture that strangeness in "Magritte: The Mystery of the Ordinary, 1926-1938," at MOMA (co-organized with the Art Institute of Chicago and the Menil Collection). The exhibition focusses on a dozen watershed years, starting with works that Magritte made for his first solo show, in Brussels—the reviews were not great, but they established him as Belgium's only Surrealist and prompted him to move to the outskirts of Paris. There, he had a furiously productive three years (he made more than a hundred works in 1928 alone), but returned home in 1930, after the stock-market crash. The show ends in 1938, the year Magritte said, in a now famous lecture, "Surrealism claims for our waking life a freedom similar to that which we have in our dreams." "The False Mirror" and "Time Transfixed" are among the more than eighty works here, as is "The Treachery of Images" (1929), which pairs the likeness of a pipe with the words " Ceci n'est pas une pipe." It may be art's most famous one-liner, but it's a startlingly modernist proposition: this isn't a pipe, it's a picture. After viewing the show, consider ducking into the museum's store, where a Magrittean item, designed by Tibor Kalman, has been a best-seller for years. It's a nondescript black umbrella, until you open it—and a cloudy blue sky is revealed. ("Magritte: The Mystery of the Ordinary, 1926-1938" opens at MOMA on Sept. 28 and runs through Jan. 12.) ♦ Andrea K.

Legislation Affects Bizav Deductions and Fuel Tax
The Senate last week passed the Surface Transportation Reauthorization Act (the "Highway Bill"), which authorizes surface transportation spending through fiscal year 2009. The legislation includes two provisions that could affect business aviation if signed into law, according to NBAA. The first provision would expand the limitation on the deductibility of business expenses for entertainment use of employer-provided aircraft to "all" employees. The second provision would change procedures for paying the fuel tax on jet fuel. If an airport is not served by a direct pipeline and is considered "secure" from fuel being diverted to pay for highway improvements, "the fuel delivered to an airport will be sold inclusive of tax at 24.4 cents per gallon," NBAA said. "Then, the entity that purchases the fuel at the airport (usually an FBO), and actually delivers fuel to an aircraft, can claim a refund for the difference between [the highway tax of] 24.4 cents and [the jet fuel tax of] 21.8 cents per gallon." NBAA opposes both provisions.
