Podcasts about stage three

Episode 282 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're back saddling up on the bike discussing Lance Armstrong. It was supposed to be the greatest comeback in the history of American sports. Lance Armstrong was supposed to provide inspiration to the American public after suffering through Stage Three testicular cancer, resuming his promising cycling career and returning to the Tour De France in 1999. And guess what? Armstrong did exactly that. Armstrong not only won the 1999 Tour De France, he proceeded to win the next six in a row! He was a hero not only in America, but a hero throughout the world. He was a celebrity athlete who gave hope to the hopeless. Moreover, Armstrong's charitable work focused on fighting cancer and cancer research was seen to make him an immortal hero. Sadly, his cycling achievements were built on performance enhancing lies. Like so many in his sport, Armstrong used performance enhancing drugs to assist his success. When the lies began to unravel, the enemies he made along the way pounced on the opportunity to bring the truth to light. A pariah to so many now, the fascinating rise and fall of Lance Armstrong remains one of the biggest scandals in 21st Century sports. Connect with us on Instagram!

Mercedes, Eleanor, and Betsy too.By FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.“Don't fear the waves, fear the undertow.” Emily isn't an idiot so trust her enough to uphold her end of the friendships she's forged.(Two Weeks Later)School has a pattern; first is the uncertainty of taking something new and deciding if you are going to drop the course before the deadline. Then the boredom sets in as you get the hang of what you think you are doing. Finally comes the abject terror that you've committed yourself to a course you hate/can't complete. We were all on the cusp of Stage Three.You could say everyone in the house was a bit stressed about school; when you added in the hormones of the young and things got down right anxious. We dealt with this in a number of ways. We divided up kitchen duty, times for our study groups, and who needed rides to work. For that one day, that Thursday, I was pretty sure we had it all under control.Barney, Betsy, and I are in one corner of the living room doing our history thing while Jesse and his boyfriend Derrick have the other. Mark and Jamie are playing with the X-box, Gina is at work, and Emily and Amber are studying in the kitchen when the doorbell rings. Since none of us are expecting company we look around the room to see who would stop what they are doing to answer the call.Barney losses the battle of wills, sighs and trots to the door. He opens it and stammers something which translates over from Awkward Man-speak as 'hot woman at door'."May I come in," a hauntingly familiar and frightening voice asks. She doesn't wait for Barney to answer opting to push past him and enter the entry hall.I am staring at Mercedes and three thoughts rush through my head; how does she know where we live, what's her plan, and can I reach Jamie before she erupts?"Hey Craig," she purrs at the same time that Emily skips down the hallway with a big smile on her face."Mercedes!" she squeals as she runs up and hugs the newcomer. I would admonish Emily if I wasn't racing to catch Jamie as she comes off the floor."Bitch!" Jamie screams as she thrashes in my bear hug. Since I am holding her arms pinned to her chest she kicks out instead."Please," Emily pleads to Jamie. "We've made up and Mercedes is very sorry about what happened.""That's right," Mercedes smiles mischievously. "I was very bad and I'd like to apologize to both you and Craig.""Oh, to hell you say!" Jamie thunders. "I'm not forgiving shit because you haven't changed, you cunt.""I accept your apology," I tell Mercedes, taking a different tact."Craig, you can't believe this shit?" Jamie gawks as she turns to see if I'd drunk the Kool-Aid."I'm cool with it if Emily is," I soothe Jamie as I back out of the living room toward the bedrooms."You are a bitch," Jamie screams at Mercedes as we exit the room. Once we are in our bedroom and the door is shut I put Jamie down and she promptly slaps me."Don't you ever do that to me again," she snaps."Listen Jamie, it is better to have her and Emily where we can keep an eye on them than have her telling Emily that we aren't really her friends," I explain. I also fail to promise her that I wouldn't remove her from an awkward situation when needed.Jamie vibrates with poorly contained energy, her gaze toward me alternating between impressed and furious. When smoke starts boiling out of her ears I take action. I grab Jamie and kiss her violently, crushing her to me. I give her a little room after a minute."Sex! Now!" Jamie demands."Later," I assuage her, "we have company.""Urr" Jamie responds accompanied with some heavy breathing. My eyes gravitate to her braless breasts, a move that Jamie catches."You are hopeless," she says as she rolls her eyes, but I can tell I've temporarily defused her wrath.I take Jamie's hand and lead her back to the main room. The conversation subsides when we return."So, are we okay?" Mercedes asks sweetly."Sure," I respond. Jamie glares at Mercedes but keeps the peace and resumes her place with the X-box. Emily looks at me nervously so I give her a wink and a smile only belatedly catching Mercedes taking in the whole exchange.I rejoin my study group and we get back to business. I catch Betsy tossing me a questioning look but I indicate that it is a story that takes more than one breath so she lets it lie. Emily and Mercedes go back to their room to 'study' while Amber comes over to the sofa and sits down next to me very platonic-like.I end up being the one to take Betsy home, stopping on the way to pick up Gina from work. Gina is her warm friendly self as she gets into the back seat of my car, hugging me and almost hugging Betsy who barely recoils in time. Once again Betsy gives me this curious look."I have a bunch more girls as friends than actual girlfriends," I try to explain."Of course," she says with a straight face. "It is none of my business anyway.""Wow," Gina snickers, "she's so hot for you.""I am not," insists Betsy. "He's not my type.""No she's not (hot for me)," I add, then, "I'm not?""No, you are not and if he's so hot why are you sharing him with all those other roommates of his?" Betsy asks Gina. Gina chuckles."I'm not sleeping with Craig. He's Mark's best friend and I'm with Mark. So, what is your excuse?" Gina replies."I prefer a prospective boyfriend to have more morals," Betsy informs us. Gina and I exchange looks by way of the rearview mirror."What do you mean Betsy?" I inquire. "I've always been nice to you.""Craig, you sleep with every girl you meet," Betsy explains. Okay..."What makes you think that?" I have to ask causing Betsy to sigh patiently."How many women have you slept with, if you haven't lost count?" she says with a heavy dose of condescension."Three," I fire off immediately. I remind myself that Betsy alienates almost everyone she knows in a matter of months."Do you seriously expect me to believe that?" Betsy replies."Craig," Gina questions me playfully, "how many girls have hit on you?" I have to think about that."A few," I prevaricate. Gina snorts."Mark says that you get all kinds of play at those football parties," she grins."Having some sluts rub up against him hardly makes Craig more appealing," Betsy counters."One; they are not sluts. Two; it was all harmless fun," I grumble."If you say so," she sniffs a rebuff."Betsy, do I bother you?" I inquire. She gave me a serious once over."No, you behave yourself around me and you are pretty smart for a jock," she admits."I feel the same way about you Betsy. You may keep looking at my crotch but you are discrete about it," I tease her. I expect some sort of snappy denial so when she turns and looks out the window without comment I am a bit floored."Betsy, I'm sorry. That was uncalled for," I apologize after a moment."Okay," is her clipped reply."That's good," I tell her. "After all, if you dumped me it would ruin my reputation as a man-whore.""Well," groans Betsy, "we can't have that." Shortly after that we drop Betsy off and Gina has joined me in the front seat, Gina smiles at me and says,"You like her.""Sure I like her but I wish she'd notice that Barney existed. He is so into her and I think he could put up with her crap if they ever got into a relationship," I respond."That's very nice of you. I'm sure she'd sleep with you if you went after her," Gina comments."I think we both know I don't want to sleep with every woman I find attractive," I reply."Don't I know it," she sighs playfully. Getting back is fun to say the least. I really need some quality time with Jamie. Between Mercedes and Betsy I am getting too wound up.Of course, coming through the door Barney 'manhandles' me into the kitchen."Craig, I called Betsy and asked her out on a date," he blubbers."Well, good for you," I smile and pat him on the back."She said yes ... what am I going to do?" he continues to stutter."I imagine you'll pick out a nice place to eat and a movie you think she'll like to see," I suggest."Umm ... okay, right," Barney nods."Barney, relax; this is not the end of the world. Take it one step at a time," but I have a feeling Barney isn't really listening anymore.The thankful thing is everyone else has crashed out so I clean up and creep into my bedroom, hoping for a little comfort. I am about to pad over to Jamie's bed when I see her in mine. As I slip under the covers she moves over ... and I know I've made a mistake."Amber?""Yes," she whispers back. "Emily and the whore are getting busy so Jamie said I could crash here." I remain silent. "Yes," Amber snickers, "she is the dark psychic girl," and by she I know she means Jamie."This doesn't change anything between us right?" I say quietly."No," she answers, then, "Is that your thumb between my legs or are you not hard yet?" I shift around to clarify the matter to her. "Oh fuck, Craig," she hisses, "you are hard as a rock. If you are going to fuck me at least me get my underwear out of the way.""Do you want to fuck?" I all but beg urgently."Wouldn't you rather we cuddle instead?" she tests me. The short, truthful answer is 'no, but would you at least let me get the K-Y under the bed and beat off first', but that's not how I respond. I snuggle up, wrap an arm around her waist and pull her tight. Amber presses her head against my neck and takes a deep breath."Good night," Amber breathes into me. I resolve to somehow will my erection to obedience and I am making some headway, no pun intended, when I hear a woman go off in a very passionate and vocal orgasmic explosion. It has to be Mercedes, the bitch, and because love obviously abhors a vacuum Mark and Gina begin getting busy on the other side of the wall. Now I know what Jesse had gone through last semester.(Friday)I blame myself, really I do. I am so busy getting the story from Emily on how she and Mercedes have hooked back up – Mercedes had come crying to her full of remorse (yeah right) that I forget the other emotional train wreck in my life. Sometimes I think Emily is way too nice a person. An apology led to a coffee, to a walk in the park, to heavy petting at Mercedes' apartment to having sex here at our place.Barney borrows my car for his date; so far so good. He chose one of the nicest places to eat near campus; even better. Had he remembered his wallet things would have worked out, but he didn't, so Betsy ends up paying for their meals. Betsy asks that she drive back to our place to get his wallet, but Barney insists that he drive and of course he is pulled over.That is when Barney apparently losses the ability for coherent speech so he ends up going to the police station with a D U I. Betsy is smart enough to call me to come bail him out; I bring Jamie along to take my car and would have brought her in but she decides Barney was humiliated enough. Jesse is good enough to let me use his car for the pick-up.At the station I meet a fuming Betsy and a friendly officer. After a bit of 'shop talk' about the team's chances next season he agrees to have Barney ROR'ed and he gets to show up to court on Monday to clear this up. The ride back to Betsy's dorm is done in tomb-like silence. At least Barney has enough dignity not to sob."Betsy, I'm sorry," Barney mumbles once we stop to drop Betsy off."Okay," she says curtly then gets out. I can't bare Barney's heartsick look."I'll be right back," I tell Barney. I jump out of the car and race to catch up with Betsy. I find her in front of the elevator."Betsy I'm ... Listen, I know Barney can do better. Please give him another shot," I plead."Are you serious?" she snaps. I nod and to her credit she takes a moment to think it over. She steps into me, puts a hand to the back of my head and draws me down into a kiss. Tentative at first then our tongues began to dart back and forth."Okay," she relents once we break our kiss, "but now we are even for the research paper.""Huh? You came back and helped me with the English paper. You don't owe me anything," I respond."Craig, I would have been lost without your help and I'm smart enough to know it. You would have finished your English assignment with or without me," Betsy relates."Why the kiss then?" I have to ask."I wanted to see what all the fuss was about," she states."I ... well ... how was it?" I inquire."I'm going out with Barney again, am I not?" she smiles. Now I can't decide if that's a good thing or not. Barney is my buddy and I want him to go on a date because his lady wants to spend time with him, not because she feels she owes me something. I guess I have to be satisfied with the hope that this time the real Barney will shine through and impress Betsy with the good guy I know him to be.Barney and I get back without exchanging a word. I have a grand total of a year and a half dating experience and I have never experienced anything like this. Barney is even worse off in the girl-thing than me, so he is of no help. When we get home no one acts out of the ordinary."Barney, Betsy called and she wants you to call her when you got in," Jamie says nonchalantly.Barney looks at me fearfully for an explanation like I'm some guru."Call her," I advise. Like a man walking to the gallows Barney walks over to the phone in the kitchen. The gang (Mark, Gina, Jamie, and Amber) are watching the TV and aren't likely to cut down on the noise. I figure Jesse and Derrick have already headed out for the night.I head to the bathroom; see the door is somewhat ajar so I stroll on in. I catch Derrick drying off and our eyes lock."I need to use the toilet," I inform him. Derrick secures the towel around his waist before walking past me on the way back to Jesse's room. He smacks my ass as he does so."Don't you be play'en now," I tease him which is clearly the last thing he expects me to say. "I know you're someone's bitch."Derrick gives me another look then laughs out loud."I'm going to tell Jesse you said that," he chuckles."What; that you are playing around, or that you're his bitch," I grin."Maybe I'll tell him you hit on me," he suggests."He'll never believe it," I reply. He looks for the punch line and I deliver. "He knows I'm far too afraid of Jamie to ever piss her off by pissing Jesse off that much.""Ha," he laughs again. "I believe it. Jesse's told me about the scars she's left on your back. I'd be afraid of her too.""I'll tell her you said that. It will make her night," I snicker. Derrick heads his way and I relieve myself. I pass Barney on the way back to the living room; he looks somewhat beyond stunned."Everything okay?" I question."Betsy asked if we could try again tomorrow night. I said yes," he mumbles."Good for you," I tell him as I put a hand on his shoulder and turn him around. "Jesse and Derrick are getting dressed."That is code for gay guys doing stuff that us straight guys might not want to wrap our minds around – being confident heterosexuals and all. For all I know they are really getting dressed for a night on the town, but letting Barney stumble in on them probably isn't wise. We return to the living room, Barney takes the recliner and I start to lay out on the sofa. Before I can get comfortable, Jamie and Amber get off the floor and settle in on either side of me – just like old times.(Monday)I'm in second semester Advanced Biology when I get a text from the Coach to contact him ASAP. I muddle through the rest of the class and give him a call in the hallway, or I start to."Hey Craig! Congrats," an upperclassman I barely know says as he comes up and slaps me on the back. I think his name is Tony or Tom."Huh?" I wonder."Lawrence Morgan announced he's going into the NFL draft," he grins. Oh hell, I was supposed to have this responsibility until year after next."Thanks, but I think I should see what the Coach has to say about that," I respond. I hope my smile doesn't come across as too feeble.I toy with the idea of blowing of Organic Chemistry but I think the Coach will understand that I put a high premium on my course load. Besides, I'm not going to blow off Eleanor and Barney. I call the man and give him my decision. He understands and asks me to come around to his office before lunch because there are things we need to discuss. I can't tell if that is good news or not.I arrive at the Coach's office without too much drama. He is on the phone, but waves me to a seat. My Father has been out of the picture for some time so I'm a bit thin on male role models, but in the short time I've known him I think I could do worse than Coach. He does his best to tell you the right thing to do and makes you feel small if you don't do it without saying a word."Craig, I'm prepared to bring in a rising senior out of Fresno State to take the top spot as quarterback," he begins without preamble. "It is not a rebuke of you or your style, but I want you to get a bit more experience before saddling you with team leadership. You may still end up with the top slot. I'm keeping the team's options open; okay?""Absolutely," I nod. I'm neither elated for dodging the burden nor deflated for missing the limelight for another year. I was promised the lead position for my junior and senior years so I'm not really missing anything. "I still want the quarterback slot if I can get it," I add."I know you do Craig," Coach grins. "I also want you to know something. You were right and I was wrong."That catches me off-guard. What can he be referring to?"Mark Quantrill; I know you encouraged him to come here and try out for the team. You were so impressive at All-State I under-estimated his talent. He's become a real asset and it proves I was right about you; you read your players well. I'll tell you something else.""Sir?""Morgan isn't going to last three years in the NFL. He has a fantastic arm but he doesn't play well with others. There is also the fact that this conference has some of the worst secondaries in the nation. Morgan is going to learn what it is like when he goes up against the professionals. I think he is going to have a rude awakening.""He still has the best arm I've ever seen," I counter."One of the differences between the two of you is you both have good arms – his is better – but you have a better head for the game. You know what your people can and can't do which makes you a far deadlier opponent. Besides, you should see our defensemen flinch every time you take a hit. I've never seen a defense care so much for the guy on the other side."By that he means someone on the offense. There is always a rivalry between offense and defense. Whenever one side succeeds in a scrimmage, the other side gets yelled at. It is the way of things. Sometimes we forgot we are on the same team so I make a point of hanging out with the other half of the team when I am on the bench. It is a technique I had learned in high school. After all, you can't win a game if you can't stop the other team from scoring.The phone rings and Coach answers it. He says a few words before catching my eye."Get out of here Dawkins, but I am going to need some of your time next week. We have some recruits coming by the University and I want you to meet them," Coach tells me. The phone rings and I'm dismissed to get back to the scholastic duties.It is right at nine o'clock in the evening when the doorbell goes off once more. It has not been a great day. I became top quarterback and lost the slot all in a few hours. The Organic Chemistry lab was brutal and Eleanor took particular pleasure in torturing me for reasons unknown. It has also gotten a lot more crowded at our place.Miracle of miracles, Betsy is spending time with Barney though I have to keep pulling him aside and remind him to grow a spine and stand up to Betsy. Bowing to her every whim is the surest way in my mind for her to go elsewhere. It is not a matter of domination; if you don't challenge her she loses all respect for you – it is that simple.Like Betsy, I don't mind Derrick all that much. He is a bit of a flirt but Mark tolerates him and Barney is pretty clueless to his advances. Jamie has threatened to put a GPS tag on his ear so that Jesse can figure out whose room Derrick's snuck off to. Despite the age difference (Jesse is a freshman and Derrick is a junior), Jesse is the more adult member of their relationship and usually keeps Derrick in line.No, the problem is Mercedes. She's making hanging out at our place a very regular occurrence. Worse, I think I know the reason and that is that Emily is such a wonderful freaking person. It doesn't stop Mercedes from being a vicious, manipulative bitch – that would be too easy. Mercedes has come to appreciate how nice, beautiful, and pleasant a person Emily is and she is falling into Emily's orbit. Since that makes Emily happy we have to lump it.To make my evening perfect, when I came home from lab today I found out that Jamie has 'borrowed' one of my credit cards to purchase a king sized bed and had our two twin beds taken away; all without my knowledge or approval. It wasn't like I use that card for important stuff – like food, clothing and gas.I'm so pissed with Jamie that I've rebuffed all attempts by her mollify me. She's been sexy, cute, sarcastic and even pleaded but I want nothing to do with her. Even Amber is starting to look worried. Barney has gotten up to get some drinks from the kitchen when the doorbell causes him to deviate and answer it."I ... I" Barney stammers. There is a woman at the door but I sense fear more than lust."Can I come in Mr. Ross?" the woman asks. I leap off the sofa and race to the door."Ah, sure," Barney gets out. Eleanor has barely stepped inside when I wrap her up in a hug and squeeze her tight."Dude, it is Eleanor!" Barney hisses in shock."Yeah, I know," I respond softly. Eleanor takes a half-step back and looks up at me warmly."I guess I didn't make a mistake coming here tonight," she smiles. Barney is dumbfounded."It is okay man," I tell him. "We've been together for a while." To Eleanor, "Come on in and meet the gang."She puts her hand in mine and I lead her back to the living room. Introductions go around with varying degrees of interest. Okay, it is more like 'Who is this girl hanging on me, and why is Craig with her?' because they see a slightly older woman who initially comes across as relatively less attractive than every other woman I've been with.Eleanor flinches when I point out Amber and is decidedly nervous when she is introduced to Jamie and Emily. Emily perks up and turns on her friendliest manner. Jamie grins as well as she stands up and heads our way. Amber is much tenser. This is the woman, after all, that I let break us apart."Hey; The Eleanor, eh?" Jamie beams. "Come over and sit with us," she motions to the sofa.Jamie separates me from Eleanor, peeling her off to the sofa where she sits Eleanor down between her and Amber. Emily detaches from the love seat and Mercedes to squeeze in on the far side of Amber, effectively denying me a seat."Eleanor, do you want something to drink?" Jamie asks."Um, a Coke or some hot chocolate would be nice," Eleanor suggests quietly."Craig, get us some hot chocolates," Jamie commands."Get your own damn hot chocolate," I mutter back."Are you saying you want to sleep on the sofa tonight?" Jamie teases."Are you saying you want to sleep on the roof?" I retort."Craig, would you please get us some hot chocolate?" Emily asks politely. I shrug and head off. Mark and Gina are huddled on the floor and I see him cuddle up next to her."Babe, I love you," he tells Gina. He looks back at my four women on the sofa and adds, "I love you now more than ever." Bastard; like having one woman who adores him is so much better than four who torment and confuse me.I get the water boiling before slipping back to the kitchen door so I can listen in to what the ladies are talking about."It is so good to finally meet you," Jamie starts. "Craig talks about you a lot.""He does?" Eleanor seems both frightened and curious. I'm not ashamed of Eleanor, but I don't share our private life either."It is more like the way he smiles when he's spent time with you," Jamie confesses, "or going to spend time with you.""He sees us all the time," Emily chimes in, "so we know he makes a special effort to spend the night with you when he can." Eleanor now looks embarrassed and confused."Amber," gulps Eleanor, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I messed up you and Craig's relationship and I'm sorry I didn't have the courage to come talk to you sooner." Amber stares at her somewhat blank-faced. I really have no idea what is going on inside her head at the moment."It is okay," Amber sighs. "It isn't like you tied him down. Craig made his own decisions and I made mine.""Okay, I admit I hated you when Craig and I first broke up – really hated you," Amber continues. Eleanor is back to being frightened. "I was upset he wouldn't dump you. Over time I realized that wouldn't be Craig. Hell, I got between him, Jamie and Emily and the world didn't end.""Thank you, I think," Eleanor responds tentatively. "That sort of leads up to one of the two reasons why I came here tonight; I wanted to meet all of you – Craig talks about you all the time.""All the time?" teases Jamie. "I sincerely doubt when you two are sexing it up in bed he's thinking about anything but you." Eleanor flushes a furious shade of red."I --," stammers Eleanor."So, has he started tying you down yet?" Jamie leans in eagerly. Eleanor's mouth falls open."That would be a big 'Yes'," taunts Amber. The water starts boiling so I miss part of the conversation. When I get back I'm feeling like a damn waiter. Shouldn't a major university's potential starting quarterback be accorded more respect?"Thanks," Jesse smirks as he takes his mug. "Are you sure it was wise to give your other girlfriend your home address so she could hook up with your other current and your ex-girlfriends?""Don't' do the crime if you can't do the time," I quote."Dude, I like you," Jesse laughs. "That is the exact same look you had on your face right before those two linemen from Central buried your ass last season. No fear!""Hey, I got the ball off, didn't I?" I chuckled. I had my wisdom teeth knocked down my throat for an eight yard gain – not my finest moment. I finish up by circling back to the ladies then prop the tray against the side of the sofa before settling down on the floor. I elect to position myself between Eleanor's and Amber's legs because if anyone deserves to kick me its Amber.Eleanor puts a hand on my head and flexes her hand in my hair in a caring gesture."You've got it bad," Jamie tells Eleanor."What?" Eleanor questions."It is same look I get when I wake up to hear him snoring softly next to me and I suddenly realize he's there for me," Jamie relates."For me it was the night of the Prom," Amber adds. "We had gone to the lake after the dance. I felt that first shiver and he had his coat around my shoulders before I could even think to let him know. That's when I figured out he was looking out for me even when I wasn't looking out for myself.""I'm not Houdini," I sigh. "I could feel the cold breeze coming off the water and if I was cold you probably were too.""Craig," Eleanor murmurs, "you lost that argument when you put me on your lap when I had the flu. It was a dumb thing for an athlete to do but it was exactly what I needed."Amber and Eleanor getting along famously is freaking me out so I change the subject."So Eleanor, you said there was a second reason for coming over tonight?""Yes," she sighs. "I have been accepted for a doctoral program in Chicago; I'm heading there at the end of the semester."I twist around, get on my knees and settle between her legs with my face within inches of hers."Congrats Babe," I beam. "I know this is what you've been working for." I'm about to kiss her when Mercedes chimes in in a sinister probing voice."So, to be accepted you had to have finished your Master's program. When did that happen?""Last year," Eleanor replies weakly."So, why have you been hanging around?" Mercedes persists. I know the answer to that."I hope I can make your last few months here as memorable as possible," I promise Eleanor."That is incredibly insane, stupid ... and desperately romantic," Betsy admits. "Barney, - pay attention.""Sorry," Barney gulps. "I'm still dealing with the fact that I went through a semester of hell with Craig for no good reason.""I apologize for deceiving you Barney," Eleanor responds, "but I would have ridden you both just as hard. You both want to consider a Master's program and that means as high a GPA as possible, especially in the Sciences.""Speaking of being ridden hard, Eleanor you are spending the night?" Jamie inquires boldly."I couldn't," protests Eleanor who is finding it difficult to stand with me in her face. "I have classes tomorrow ... and stuff.""I have a friend who has a friend in the National Weather Service," Jamie counters. "They say that big storm is coming quicker and harder than projected by the local weather wonk. He says we should get dumped on somewhere between eight and ten tomorrow morning and expect around thirty inches!" The last was pronounced with a Donner Party glee."I had better be going," Betsy states.Barney is struggling to say something but Emily is ready with the hospitality."Come on and stay with us. You don't want to be stuck in the dorm if the power goes out.""Where would I stay if I remained here?" Betsy asks skeptically. The obvious answer (and the one least likely to happen) is that she stays with Barney."You could stay in our room," Gina offers. "We never use the other bed." Mark isn't jumping for joy over her suggestion but isn't totally put out by the turn of events either."Fine," Betsy accepts a bit too eagerly for my taste, or maybe I'm learning to distrust women; I'm not sure."Whose bed would I sleep in?" Eleanor inquires quietly."I tell you what," Jamie grins sweetly, "I'll take you back to our room and if you can pick out which bed is his you can spend the night with him." No one steps up to help Eleanor (tell her that our room has only one bed) and since I want her to stay, I stay quiet as well.

Zig Ziglar Classic Lesson When I was young, stupid, and wondering when I would understand life, I often turned to my friend, Larry, for a road map. He always seemed to have what I needed - until the day he passed the torch. He knew I needed more. That's when he introduced me to Zig Ziglar's Stages of Competence: 1) Stage One is where we begin. We are “Unconscious Incompetent.” We don't know what we don't know. Yup. 2) Stage Two is called “Conscious Incompetent.” I spent a lot of time there. I used to say, “I have no idea what I'm doing - but at least I admit it.” 3) Stage Three is “Unconscious Competent.” I see that in my work. People who have no idea how good they are. 4) Stage Four is “Conscious Competent.” That was my goal. I wanted to know what I was doing - and KNOW it!  Most people continue to another level some call “Conscious competence of unconscious competence.” The ability to recognize and develop Unconscious Competence in others.

We cover:    The feelings, personas, and experiences typical of Stage Three.  Why Stage Three is the most common stage where people get stuck.  The consequences of staying in Stage Three and how to move forward.    Key Points  Understanding Stage Three  Common Feelings and Experiences: Stage Three is characterized by small self-benefits like being right, blaming others, and getting sympathy without having to rebuild trust.    Negative Thought Patterns: The mind starts believing destructive thoughts, leading to deeper entrenchment in Stage Three.    Energy Attraction: Like energy attracts like energy, resulting in circumstances and relationships that confirm the negative state.    Personas in Stage Three  Alex: Struggles with unanswered questions and the fear of confronting raw emotions, leading to a loop of indecision.  Jordan: Uses distractions like TV, food, and alcohol to avoid the pain of betrayal.  Taylor: Experiences resignation, believing life will never get better and settling into a colorless routine.  Morgan: Feels profound exhaustion and lethargy, unable to muster the energy for significant change.  Symptoms and Consequences  Post Betrayal Syndrome: Symptoms appear in Stage Two and persist into Stage Three, where they are often medicated and suppressed rather than healed.    Therapy and Support Groups: Without true transformation, therapy and support groups can become places where individuals stay stuck by repeatedly rehashing their stories.    Numbing, Avoiding, Distracting: Common tactics to avoid dealing with raw emotions, leading to long-term habits that reinforce the Stage Three state.    Moving Beyond Stage Three  Recognizing the Trap: Understand that Stage Three is a trap, likened to quicksand, making it one of the hardest stages to leave.    Letting Go: To move to Stage Four, one must let go of the benefits and familiarities of Stage Three.    Transformation Begins in Stage Four: Real healing and transformation start in Stage Four, where new beginnings and true growth occur.    Practical Steps and Resources  The PBT Institute: Offers daily live classes, programs, masterclasses, and an incredibly supportive community to help you move through the Stages.    Books: "Trust Again" and "From Hardened to Healed" provide deeper insights and practical advice for those stuck in Stage Three.    Community Support: Engage with others who are also on the journey from betrayal to breakthrough, fostering mutual growth and support.    Conclusion  Stage Three is a challenging but surmountable part of the betrayal recovery process.

Changes to stage three tax cuts have passed parliament. It's a win for the Labor government, who secured support from the Coalition for the tax changes. But one piece of legislation won't end the cost of living crisis, with calls for the government to do more to address the ongoing issue. - තුන් වන අදියරේ බදු කප්පාදුව පාර්ලිමේන්තුවේ සම්මත වුණා. මේ බදු කප්පාදු පාර්ලිමේන්තුවේ සහය ඇතුව සම්මතවීම ලේබර් රජය ලබුව ලොකු ජයග්‍රහණයක්. නමුත් ජීවන වියදම් අර්බුදය විසදන්න නම් එක් නීති සම්පාදනයකට පුළුවන් කමක් නැහැ, මේ වෙනුවෙත් තව සැලසුම් දියත් කරන්න කියලත් රජයට බලපෑම් එල්ල වෙනවා. මේ පිළිබද වැඩිදුර තොරතුරු අද දවසේ කාලින තොරතුරු විග්‍රහය හරහා

The federal government is less than a week out from its first electoral test of the year, the Dunkley by-election, with its revamped Stage Three tax cuts at the centre of it.

Australia's Opposition party is backing Anthony Albanese's proposed changes to stage three tax cuts. This follows on from weeks of leader Peter Dutton criticising the new policy. Australian correspondent Murray Olds says the party eventually had no choice but to vote for the changes. "If they hadn't backed the changes, it would have been a drawn out fight with the Opposition standing in the way of cost of living support for those on the bottom end." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Opposition leader Peter Dutton has signalled that the Liberal party won't stand in the way of the proposed tax cut overhaul despite previously criticising it as a broken promise. - Nagbago ang tono ng oposisyon at nagpahayag ng pagsang-ayon sa mga pagbabagong inilatag ng Labor para sa tax cuts na mas nagpalawak ng polisa para milyun-milyong low at middle-income earners. .

The Prime Minister says the government will work with senate crossbenchers to pass his revamped stage three tax cuts through Parliament. - Perdana Menteri mengatakan pemerintah akan bekerja sama dengan anggota senat untuk meloloskan perubahan pemotongan pajak tahap ketiga melalui Parlemen.

The Prime Minister has promised his government's proposed sweeping overhaul of tax cuts will go before Parliament when MPs return to Canberra. Anthony Albanese has also used a visit to Frankston to join Labor's candidate in the seat of Dunkley in Victoria, ahead of a by-election to replace the seat's late long serving former member.

The federal Opposition is preparing to back Labor's stage three tax changes, which broaden the original policy to include millions of low and middle income earners. But a push by the Greens for a parliamentary inquiry could delay the passage of legislation until closer to the May 14 budget.

Chief political correspondent Paul Karp talks to the treasurer, Jim Chalmers, about the thinking behind the changes to the stage-three tax cuts. They also discuss how the budget will aim to help reduce inflation while also providing further cost of living relief

We're all set to pay a little less tax starting in July. While lower and middle income earners will be getting a bit more back after the government's rejig of the Stage 3 cuts, does that make our tax system any fairer? Some experts say it still favours the rich and much bigger changes are needed. Featured: Kristen Sobeck, Research Fellow at the Tax and Transfer Policy Institute at the Australian National University's Crawford School of Public Policy

The Prime Minister says the government will work with senate crossbenchers to pass his revamped stage three tax cuts through Parliament. - 公約を破って行う改正の正当性を訴えるために繰り返される「people before politics」の言葉。税制を改正するには、法案が国会で可決されなければなりません。

The Prime Minister says the government will work with senate crossbenchers to pass his revamped stage three tax cuts through Parliament. While the Opposition Leader has branded Anthony Albanese a 'liar', Peter Dutton won't say whether the Coalition will support the changes in Parliament or at the next election. - Премьер-министр говорит, что правительство будет работать с членами Сената, чтобы провести обновленный вариант третьего этапа снижения налогов через парламент. Хотя лидер оппозиции назвал Энтони Альбанезе «лжецом», Питер Даттон не сказал, поддержит ли коалиция изменения в парламенте или на следующих выборах.

Will you be better off this year when it comes to the tax you pay, your wage, grocery shopping and other bills? The Labor government's changes to the Stage Three tax cuts mean more lower and middle income taxpayers will receive a bigger than expected tax return. For our first episode of 2024, the ABC's business editor Ian Verrender joins Sam Hawley to explain why it's a ‘distinct possibility' that the cost of living will get a little bit easier this year. Featured: Ian Verrender, ABC business editor

The opposition criticises the government's changes to stage three tax cuts, prompting the Labor party to be open for negotiation with the Greens to advance the said policy potentially. - Binatikos ng oposisyon ang pagbabago sa stage three tax cuts ng gobyerno kaya posibleng magkaroon ng negosasyon sa Greens ang Labor para maisulong ang nasabing polisa.

Listen to the top News from Australia and India in Hindi.

The Stage Three tax cut restructure has been announced. Albo has backed away from a promise and bracket creep remains real. He may lose some skin over it but overall, the announcement means 11 million Australian workers will pay lower taxes as of July 1. JTI believes it's designed to wedge Peter Dutton in the regions and outer suburbs where Dutton wants to take the Libs. Scott Morrison resigns from the parliament. Where does he stand on the pantheon of Prime Ministers? A fair way down but not quite Billy McMahon status. Trump takes New Hampshire but Nikki Halley is proving a difficult opponent. South Africa goes to the elections later this year with the possibility that the ANC's lock on power may start to shift. In sport, the BBL wraps up with the Heat winning the tournament as the Australians face the Windies in Brisbane and England play India in the first Test in Hyderabad.  

The Prime Minister says the government will work with senate crossbenchers to pass his revamped stage three tax cuts through Parliament. While the Opposition Leader has branded Anthony Albanese a 'liar', Peter Dutton won't say whether the Coalition will support the changes in Parliament or at the next election.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says inflation and cost-of-living pressures have forced him to amend planned tax cuts due to take effect in July, skewing the benefits to favour lower and middle income earners. The controversial stage three tax cuts were legislated in 2018. Mr Albanese says the economic situation is vastly different than five years ago, and the amendments will benefit millions of Australians on modest incomes.

Middle-income earners stand as the probable beneficiaries of adjustments introduced in the income tax policy, as revealed during Wednesday's Labor caucus. - Inanunsyo ng gobyerno ang mga pagbabago sa stage threet tax cuts. Narito ang mga dapat mong malaman.

Chairman at Welthi Peter Esho explains in simple terms the stage three of the Federal government tax cuts and whether it will have any effects on inflation and house prices

Anthony Albanese rolls the political dice, tweaking the stage three tax cuts - will voters buy it?

Listen to the top News from Australia and India in Hindi.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has hinted that there could be changes to controversial stage three tax cuts due to come into effect from July. There is speculation the potential amendments could include relief for lower-income earners at the expense of wealthier individuals. The federal opposition says any changes would be a broken promise.

For years now, we've been hearing about the so-called Stage 3 Tax Cuts. And not just hearing about them, but being warned about them. They're going to increase the gap between the rich and the poor. Even take us back, economically speaking, to the 1950s. At other times, we're told they're great. After all, they'll help workers earning as little as $45,000 a year to keep more of their pay packet.  So, which is it?  Today, economics correspondent Rachel Clun takes us through what this all means, and how it will hit us, once we open our wallets.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stage One, Stage Two, Stage Three, We Have Minimal Systems Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.   Have a team that's bought into your mission, vision, values and purpose. They will do whatever it takes to make the job happen, right? The result happened. Now, you'll notice I haven't used the word systems yet. stage one, stage two, stage three, we have minimal systems. Okay, if you put in systems too early, you will slow down the business's growth, alright. What I've learned over the last 32 years and hundreds of 1000s of businesses is that sequence matters. When I meet a client for the first time, they're doing almost everything right like, they'll tell me, I'm like, What are you doing? Like, oh, do this, this this? And I'll say, Wow, that sounds great. You're doing it all right. At the same time, guess what, almost everyone is doing them out of order. When you do the right thing at the wrong time, you put friction into the system. So you put systems into too early. You're trying to put efficiencies into parts of the business that are not designed for efficiency. So for example, everyone loves to automate lead gen. Everyone likes to automate their sales process. It's nearly impossible. You can't throw enough money at your sales and marketing systems in order to fully automate them and make them fully efficient. They're not designed that way. Jeff Bezos gave an interview where he said our client acquisition process right now, which is giving away prime and freemium, and it's not sustainable. At this rate, it's too expensive to acquire a client. We can't do it this way, right? So you either get involved in your sales and marketing systems in the beginning to make it effective and then once it's fully effective, meaning you know what price to charge and who your ideal client is and what gets them to buy for how often and at what frequency, then you put efficiencies into your business development efforts but it's never going to be fully efficient.   Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.
