Pagni-Casci grew up in Sparks, lives here now and with the exception of a few years away during her collegiate career, she's been a Rail City resident her whole life.
"Family is the biggest reason I live here," Pagni-Casci said. "I have a large extended family here. I do like Sparks, but more of a draw was just coming back to Nevada, especially after going to school (college) in California. That made me realize how much I like this state. It's smaller. You can know the governor personally and feel like you're actually part of the state and state government as opposed to California and states that are so big, that's not really possible."
Pagni-Casci has deep roots in the local community. She went to Lena Juniper Elementary School and Sparks Middle School before traveling across the valley to attend McQueen High during her teen years. The 38-year-old went to college at Point Loma Nazarene in San Diego and then attended USC for graduate school where she earned a doctorate in physical therapy.
Pagni-Casci now works as a physical therapist for the Washoe County School District.
"I chose physical therapy because when I got injured in high school, it seemed like the only person that helped me and really knew what was going on was my physical therapist. So after trying political science for a couple of years I decided there was no future in that. So I changed majors entirely and went into exercise science for my undergrad."
Pagni-Casci works largely with 3-to-5 year-olds, helping them improve their motor skills which in turn will also help them adapt and hopefully excel in the district's schools.
"In the school district, I can only work with kids that are certified to be special needs or special ed," she said. "I work with kids in order to make their educational experience optimal. If a kid comes to the district and can't walk, then to help them have the full experience, I help them walk or maybe get them into the right wheel chair so they can access the school environment.
"A big part of the student population I serve is kids who are developmentally delayed. That's my passion, to help them acquire skills and develop those skills so they translate to other areas of life. That's huge. People think I just play with balls with kids. But if a kid can catch a ball, then they'll have that much easier of a time to read."
Pagni-Casci says helping the kids she sees in her profession is rewarding, but those aren't the only kids she likes to help. Pagni-Casci enjoys coaching youth soccer in her free time. When she gets some time to just herself, she said she likes working in her garden.
"I enjoy putting seeds into the ground and letting them come up," she said. "Actually using the vegetables or fruit after you watch them grow, it's cool to see your labor and use it. I love functional things."
While she may like some quiet time in her garden, there's probably not much of it to enjoy. Pagni-Casci is a wife to Matt of 11 years and the couple has five children: Lucca 10, Marco 7, Portia 5, Enzo 2, and Ophelia 8 months.
She was asked what she was most proud of in life and she didn't miss beat.
"I'm most proud of having kids that are good kids, respectful of people around them, having kids that are a blessing to the other people around them. The kids are not self-centered, and hopefully, most of the time, they're looking out for others too."
Compassion is the name of the game for Pagni-Casci. She was asked what one thing she'd change in her life and she didn't respond by wishing for a bigger salary or bigger house, just that her dad wouldn't be suffering from Alzheimer's like he currently does.
Despite that family challenge, she constantly finds time to help others. She just may not find much time to help herself.
"I remember during college I would always say to myself, 'I'm always so busy.'And now I go 'My gosh I had all the time in the world then. I was single with no kids yelling at me. I didn't have to cook for anybody. There was nobody who needed a hoodie or a lunch for school. I guess it's all about your outlook on life at the time."

Dogs Earn Victory over Army at All-Military Classic
Sophomore DeVontae Wright scored a career-high 26 points -- 18 in the second half -- to lead The Citadel to an 83-72 comeback victory over Army in the third-place game of the inaugural All-Military Classic Saturday night. The Bulldogs (1-1) shot 51.9 percent from the field in the second half on their way to erasing Army's 12-point halftime lead.
Mike Groselle added 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulldogs, which trailed the Black Knights (0-2) by as many as 20 in the first half. The double-double was Groselle's second in under 24 hours as the junior put up 25 points and collected 16 boards against Virginia Military Institute late Friday evening. Groselle was the Bulldogs' lone representative on the all-tournament team.
Citadel Completes 97-44 Win over Florida Christian
Mike Groselle and Barry Smith scored 19 points apiece to lead five Citadel players in double figures as the Bulldogs routed Florida Christian by a final score of 97-44 at McAlister Field House on Monday evening. Groselle became the first Citadel player, since 1974, to record five consecutive double-doubles, finishing with 19 points and 11 rebounds, as Bulldog Head Coach Chuck Driesell earned his 100th career coaching victory in dramatic fashion.
Groselle and Smith were joined in double figures by the likes of Ashton Moore (11 points) and C.J. Bray (10 points), as 12 different Bulldogs scored at least one point in the contest. The Citadel converted 36-of-65 (55.4%) from the floor, including 9-of-24 (37.5%) from 3-point range, led by Smith who hit 8-of-15 from the floor. Groselle, who posted a game-high 11 rebounds, was joined in the post by Smith and Bray, who accounted for six rebounds each, to give the Cadets a 46-28 edge on the boards. The Bulldogs improved to 2-2 on the season.
Moore's 30 Paces The Citadel in Victory over UVA-Wise
Citadel freshman Ashton Moore poured in a game-high 30 points as the Bulldogs snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 91-74 victory over UVA-Wise at McAlister Field House on Monday evening. Moore became the first Cadet to net 30 points in a contest since Cameron Wells accomplished the feat on Feb. 12, 2009 against Appalachian State. Teammate Mike Groselle further embedded himself in Citadel history with a 19-point, 13-rebound performance to tie Matt Newman and Craig Burgess for third place with 16 career double-doubles.
The Bulldogs had their fifth 50% shooting performance of the season, hitting 33-of-63 (52.4%) from the field. The Citadel found its shooting touch from beyond the arc, knocking down 7-of-16 (43.8%) attempts, paced by Moore's 3-of-4 performance. In total, four Cadets reached double figures, including Cosmo Morabbi, who set a new career-high with 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting. Backcourt teammate DeVontae Wright rounded out double-digit scorers with 13 points. The Dogs hit the third most free throws (18) in a game this season, while outmuscling UVA-Wise 37-24 on the glass. The victory moves The Citadel to 3-10 on the campaign.
Groselle, Morabbi Guide Dogs Past Samford
The tandem of Mike Groselle and Cosmo Morabbi accounted for 45 points as The Citadel won their first Southern Conference game of the season, 73-62, over Samford on Saturday evening. Groselle scored 25 points to tie his career-high and by virtue of finishing 10-for-10 from the floor set a program record that was previously held by John Sutor and Ted Mosay for highest field goal percentage. Meanwhile, Morabbi established a new career-high, 20 points, to go along with six assists and four steals. It marks the third time in the last five games that Morabbi has topped double figures for the Dogs.
The Citadel knocked down 26-of-46 (56.5%) from the floor, including a 6-for-14 performance from beyond the arc. Groselle and Morabbi, who finished 6-of-12 from the field, including four 3-pointers, were joined by the likes of Ashton Moore (4-11) and DeVontae Wright (3-5). Wright was responsible for eight of the Dogs 21 assists, establishing a career-high. Teammate C.J. Bray anchored the paint, outmuscling Samford for eight rebounds, including two on the offensive glass. Groselle pitched in seven rebounds as the Cadets had 28 as a team. The Citadel improves to 4-11 overall and 1-3 in SoCon play.
Miller, Harris III Key in Delivering Citadel Win over Chattanooga
Marshall Harris III converted the go-ahead 3-pointer with less than two minutes to go as The Citadel ended a 13-game road losing streak with a 48-46 victory at Chattanooga on Saturday evening.
The Citadel's Lawrence Miller scored a game-high 15 points, along the way tying a career-high with five 3-pointers, as the Bulldogs improved to 5-22 overall and 2-14 in the Southern Conference. Miller led the Cadets to a 10-of-21 (47.6%) outing from beyond the arc, joined by Harris III (2-4) and DeVontae Wright (2-3) with multiple treys. The duo of Mike Groselle and Harris III added eight points each for the Bulldogs, while DeVontae Wright came off the bench to score six points, as The Citadel hit 18-of-40 (45%) from the field. Groselle posted a team-high 15 rebounds, pulling down 11 on the defensive end, as the Dogs edged Chattanooga 31-29 on the glass.
Holston Posts First Double-Double in 62-51 Downing of Appalachian State
Redshirt junior Bo Holston recorded his first career double-double, 13 points and 10 rebounds, to guide The Citadel to a 62-51 victory over Appalachian State at McAlister Field House. Holston was the catalyst to a Bulldog offense that witnessed three double figure scorers, including Mike Groselle (18 points) and C.J. Bray (10 points). The Citadel has now earned back-to-back Southern Conference victories for the first time since last season, when they downed Western Carolina and Davidson in late January.
Holston knocked down 3-of-6 from the floor and finished 7-of-9 from the charity stripe to close with 13 points. He also made his defensive presence known with a team-high seven defensive rebounds.
The Bulldogs hit 19-of-38 (50%) from the floor and were successful on 21-of-28 (75%) attempts from the charity stripe. Groselle was the individual leader in field goals, converting 6-of-8, while Bray finished 5-of-9 to go along with seven rebounds. Teammate Lawrence Miller added a punch from the perimeter, hitting 3-of-5 from 3-point range, to close with nine points. The Cadets edge Appalachian State in points in the paint (28-22) and bench points (19-16) as they moved to 6-22 overall and 3-14 in conference action.

Michael Kors for Breakfast
Last week, at the Toronto showroom HQ of one of my favourite New York-born brands, I started my day with breakfast at Michael Kors. What. A. Treat. At around 9 a.m., over orange juice, I perused collections for the upcoming seasons and here's the forecast fashion sleuths: Summer 2012 plans to be tie-dye heaven (read: maxi dress that I need right now, and wow-worthy handbags with groovy colourful prints) and Pre-Fall 2012 selects are a woolly wonderland (read: supple shearling and mohair, mohair and more fabulous mohair). With temps hitting -8C, it was a welcome distraction from the frigid cold outside and a reminder that spring–and (gasp) even summer–is truly on the way.
And even nicer, at the end of what seemed like stepping right into a brief island vacation (I've got quite the imagination, readers) I received this lovely gift: a Michael Michael Kors keychain, with a leather mini cream-coloured picture holder. Totally key-chic. I've dubbed it my Big Girl Keychain, this beauty is now a grown-up friend to my Columbia University keychain (yes, the one that's cleverly designed to also open bottles). Now it has a pret-a-porter drinking partner.

The "G"-word at "K" begins with "C." Green means collaboration, and throughout the academic year various constituencies have formed relationships to brainstorm solutions and engage in the College's commitment to promote sustainability on campus and beyond.
One big "C" is Farms to K's annual Local Food Cook-Off, an opportunity to come together and prepare recipes for the College community. Student organizations, friends, professors, and co-workers join forces to beguile people's taste buds with only local ingredients.
The theme of this year's cook-off - "What Your Grandmother Made" - is inspired by art professor Dhera Strauss' new documentary Kitchen Conversations. That film explores food and family and features many Kalamazoo College faculty and staff making their favorite family recipes.
While Farms to K and the administration work to bring local food to the cafeteria, the Recycling Department introduced a new change to the dining hall - a pilot program aimed at waste diversion. Starting first week of spring quarter, students scraped the extra food from their plates into a big recycling bin. Rob Townsend, director of the College's recycling program, transports the bins from the cafeteria to a local farm where livestock eat the waste as feed.
"It's a natural form of composting," Townsend says with a grin.
Facilities Management, Farms to K, retired sociology professor Kim Cummings, and Sodexho, the College's food provider, collaborated to launch the pilot program. Facilities Management and the Recycling Department purchased the bins and collect and transport the waste. Farms to K publicized the new program and demonstrated the new procedure for students. Sodexho expressed support for the program and worked with Facilities Management to fine tune the launch. Students do the separation and scraping.
"Everyone came together to make the program work," said Sustainability Intern Jillian McLaughlin'10. According to research conducted by students, the pilot program could divert as much as one ton of waste every week.
A liberal arts education makes connections across disciplines, cultures, and histories.
Last fall, Associate Professor of Biology Binney Girdler, her husband, and their two young children traveled to Chiang Mai, Thailand, along with "K" students on study abroad. Girdler, who co-coordinates the College's environmental studies concentration, was seeking a cross-cultural perspective on sustainability that she would further apply to her courses in that field.
In Thailand she taught a course on forestry, and she learned as much (or more) about interdisciplinary approaches as she did about intercultural approaches to environmental studies.
She organized her winter quarter course, "Senior Seminar in Environmental Studies," around local issues.
"As always, 'K' students infused me with optimism, one of the benefits of teaching at this college," she said.
Using ArcGIS, a computer mapping tool, students researched transportation, waste minimization, and green spaces in Kalamazoo. One group studied the accessibility of West Main Street for bus, foot, and bike commuters. Another explored different rates of recycling by different neighborhoods. And a final group mapped the amount of undeveloped land in Kalamazoo.
Community members attended the student presentations, including employees from the County Health Department and the Department of Natural Resources who are interested in developing a "sustainability atlas" of the city. Girdler and her students hope that their work will extend beyond the ten-week course and can be a way for the city to track its progress toward sustainable practices.
The Environmental Studies program also collaborated with the Sustainability Guild to host the College's first annual Sustainability Senior Individualized Projects Symposium.
"Students from a variety of disciplines have SIPs that link with the theme of sustainability," says Guilds Associate Anne Renaud '10, "and this event brings them together."
The Symposium's keynote speaker was Chris Dragisic '99, who coordinates the Global Sustainable Biofuels Initiative for Conservation International.
"The class is a great way to bridge theory and practice."Her work helps ensure that biofuel development does not increase risks to biodiversity, ecosystems, or persons' livelihoods. She also works to promote sustainable practices in Brazil.
The College's Climate Commitment
While various events, classes, and policies incorporate sustainability, no one thing has catalyzed the campus as much as the College's commitment to achieve carbon neutrality. Students in Kim Cummings' class, "How to Change the World," class used that goal to develop their class project: a plan to put photovoltaic cells on the roof of the library to convert solar energy to electricity.
Class members are enlisting fellow students to pledge reductions in their use of energy. Thus, they are paying for the project with conservation! At the current rate of conservation, the class will raise $4,300 by Commencement. Add to that this campaign idea: an increase in conservation by shutting off the hot water for a day (anticipated savings: $1,700).
"We're hoping that by the end of the year we'll have saved $7,700," said class member Alicia Pettys'13.
The photovoltaic cells will cost $35,000. Paul Manstrom, the Director of Facilities Management, pledged to match students' conservation savings with money from the Sustainability Revolving Fund that was approved by the Board of Trustees in the fall. Students worked with Anne Dueweke, Institutional Research, and Teresa Newmarch, College Advancement, to identify grants that could provide the remainder of the funding.
The campaign continues to broaden its collaborations, especially with the Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership. A photovoltaic array situated on the library roof might also help meet the energy needs of the new center.
Pettys is optimistic regarding the College's progress toward carbon neutrality and sustainability. She's particularly enthusiastic about "How to Change the World." She said, "I believe in the idea of the class because it's a really great way to bridge theory and practice. It's important to learn about social justice issues and equally powerful to translate that into actions, especially doing something on our own campus."

Biography / Administrative history
On the eve of the Second World War Prime Minister Mackenzie King determined to avoid the problems of profiteering, hoarding and inflation which plagued Canada's contribution in the First World War. Under the powers conferred by the War Measures Act, 1914 (5 Geo. V, ch. 2), an order-in-council (P.C. 2516, 3 September 1939) established the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, initially composed of only three senior public servants, "to provide safeguards under war conditions against the undue enhancement in the prices of food, fuel and other necessities of life, and to ensure an adequate supply and equitable distribution of such commodities."
Further orders-in-council extended the Board's powers. P.C. 3998, 5 December 1939, empowered the Board to investigate costs, prices, and profits; to license persons who dealt in any way with the necessities of life; to fix maximum prices and markups; to regulate the sale and distribution of the necessities of life; to take possession of stocks being withheld; to buy and sell goods; and to recommend embargos on exports. P.C. 4616, 11 September 1940, extended the Board's authority into rentals and housing. P.C. 2448, 8 April 1941, introduced import and export controls. P.C. 8523, 24 October 1941, brought in the first wage control.
In 1941 the cost of living began to rise sharply and the beginnings of an inflationary spiral became evident. In a radio broadcast on 18 October Mackenzie King announced a price freeze and the stabilization of wages and salaries, soon incorporated into the far-reaching Wartime Prices and Trade Board Regulations (P.C. 8528, 1 December 1941). This enlarged the Board's membership and made provision for the controllers of the Wartime Industries Control Board, with which its policies were tightly interlocked. The Regulations established a "basic period," 15 September to 11 October 1941, as a benchmark from which all subsequent maximum prices were calculated. Wages were tied to the 1926-1929 levels and could only be notched up with proven increases in the cost of living. Consumer rationing began late in 1942. The Board became the key agency in the government's wartime economic policies. [Christopher Robb Waddell, "The Wartime Prices and Trade Board: Price Control in Canada in World War II." Unpub. Ph.D. dissertation, York Univ., 1981. p. iv.]
The new Chairman, Donald Gordon, former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada, "sold" the Board's policies to Canadians through radio addresses and speeches. "The price ceiling means hardship," he stated, "inflation means ruin." [Quoted, Waddell, p. 107.]
In all, the control of prices was notably more effective than in the First World War, and the Board's work was one of the most successful aspects of Canada's war effort. [C.P. Stacey, Arms, Men and Governments; the War Policies of Canada, 1939-1945, p. 123.] The Board continued to play a major role in postwar decontrol. Most price controls lapsed in the last half of 1946 and, although the Board had outlived its usefulness, it only finally expired on 30 April 1951 with the end of the Continuation of Transitional Measures Act, 1947 (11 Geo. VI, ch. 16.).
The general organization of the Board may be divided into four broad classifications:
a. The Board. Composed of the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, General Counsel and Secretary, and nine Members who were senior civil servants, including the Dominion Statistician and the Chairman, Wartime Industries Control Board;
b. Head Office. Eleven divisions were concerned mainly with policy, coordination of all activities of the Board and questions of internal organization;
c. Commodity and Trade Administrations. Administrators for the major commodity fields of work assisted in the organization of supply and the anticipation and prevention of shortages. They served as the direct contact between the Board and the industries, trades, and services under its jurisdiction. At the Board's greatest extent, the administrations were grouped into seven Coordinations: Real Property, Pulp and Paper, Foods, Publishing and Allied Industries, Textiles and Clothing, Metal and Wood Products, and Distribution Trades;
d. Regional and Field Organizations. There were ultimately 126 local offices, primarily concerned with the consumer rationing programmes of the Board, as well as maintaining close connection with Wartime Industries Control.
The staff of the Board reached its maximum size in July 1943. On 31 December 1945 it numbered 6,176. The Board organized five Crown companies to assist its work: Commodity Prices Stabilization Corporation Limited, Wartime Food Corporation Limited, Canadian Wool Board Limited, Wartime Salvage Limited, and Canadian Sugar Stabilization Corporation.
Until 14 August 1941 the Minister of Labour was responsible for the Board, then responsibility passed to the Minister of Finance. The Chairmen of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board were Hector B. McKinnon, September 1939 - November 1941; Donald Gordon, November 1941 - April 1947; and Kenneth Wiffin Taylor, April 1947 - April 1951.

Care, Rain, Frank and Gma, I agree, there is a line between poking and defending. If you have to defend yourself in the ways you all mentioned, that's not poking, really. It's a necessary step that is regrettable for the possible outcome, but it has to be done. Some things are just not able to be clearly cut along the dotted line.
Thankfully, (or NOT!) I've walked on eggshells for so damn many years, I know pretty much what I can and can't do. Having a label to put on him doesn't change what I know of his reactions after 25 years, though it HAS made me more cautious. He may go completely off when he finds out I am serious about him leaving. (Frying pans come to mind, no pun intended.)
Right now, he still thinks it will all go back to the way it was. Things will be WWIII in a month or two, I suspect. I hope I'm wrong! I know as the day approaches to tell him to get out, I WILL be afraid, though. I'm not looking forward to it, but my son has offered to have his large, strong friends here with us, if I think I'll need them. (As well as 911 pre-dialed on several cell phones, just in case.)
I think what happened with me today was sort of a combination of both, though perhaps more poking than defending. I've said over and over for so long, "I just don't feel good," or "I'm in pain today," or whatever the hell else I've had to say, that I'm sick of lying to avoid trouble with him. I HATE lying. Also, the pent-up anger I have sometimes breaks loose and I can't stop it in time. Usually I can, but today, my filters just failed me.
Sometimes, there just are no lines to follow. That's my final answer. This time. At the moment, for sure.
Sometimes, there just are no lines to follow
"roll over and play dead" is a figure of speach. The message intended is that I personally will not let her walk all over me simply because I do not want to piss her off or "poke the bear". So yes, sometimes we have to engage. Sometimes we have to poke the tiger.
The Jerry Jeff Walker song "Backslider's Wine" has a line in it that changed my life once. I think it may apply here.
"fight for your rights
but don't just fight for right". That was the point I was trying to make with that long winded post.
So in my "engagment" with her, there was plenty of "sorry you feel that way" and I understand how you would think that" type of responses.
Unfortunately I am no longer wealthy and I can not afford to have someone fight these battles for me at the cost of $200/hour. I have no choice but to engage in order to complete the unfinished business of the marriage and divorce. If I could afford it, I would....just so I would not have to engage and deal with her directly.....Nuff said.
Status: S & D'ing
"fight for your rights
but don't just fight for right"
I like that line. I may have to look that song up.
ETA: I hope things go well, Wont. My friend's NPDXWH did that to her, too. Lied and lied. The judge DID see through it. Chin up!
[This message edited by SoHurt at 11:09 PM, February 25th (Saturday)]
In my case, I HAD to do something that I knew was going to piss her off.
This sound like asking for trouble to me.
But it was done for financial self protection. I won't lie and say that I did not get some satisfaction from the exchange, emotionally. As a matter of fact, it is the first time in this whole mess that I feel like I had any control of the process and proceeding. I knew she would be pissed at me for taking my own actions. Pointing out that her lawyer fucked her over by dragging her feet was my way of redirecting that anger.....I anticipated this and it was a calculated move. If I had not beat her to the filing, her filing would have put me on the defensive legally. I had no choice but to go against her wishes.
I understand wanting to be the "first to the courthouse" but why all the unnecessary contact and letting her know you did it? Why was it so important to throw all of this in her face? If your STBXWW is NPD, you know she's going to be trouble through this divorce. Why go causing more? You don't need to talk to or discuss anything with your STBXW. If she has an attorney and you are representing yourself, file the appropriate paperwork and you can speak to her attorney yourself. Who cares if her attorney is incompetent? Better for you, right? Why tell your WS? So she can go get a better one? What are you thinking???
Frank, you need to take a step back and get your anger in check.
When another woman takes your husband,
sometimes the best thing you can do for
yourself is to LET HER HAVE the worthless
OC born 2001
Divorced 2003
Remarried 2008 (New Guy)
but why all the unnecessary contact and letting her know you did it?
The reason for the contact was to find out if she would willingly sigh the Affidavit of Waiver for service so I would not have to pay a prcess server. I do not have the funds for any unnecessary expenses. She had signed and notarized one previously but it was invalid because I had not filed the petition and been assigned a case number. She had indicated in the past that she would not resign one but that was months ago.
She wanted a divorce I was giving it to her. I was handling it because I have waited weeks for her attorney to do it. I know how long it takes and there was no reason I was not served weeks ago.
Who cares if her attorney is incompetent? Better for you, right? Why tell your WS? So she can go get a better one? What are you thinking???
The caculated response was to redirect her rage towards her attorney......and it worked. She is pissed that she spent the last of her money on an attorney that let her down and did not file promptly, So now rather than be pissed at me for filing......she is pissed at her attorney for dragging her feet. So far that move is working out in my favor. Not sure if her attorney will come back with a vengeance since it put her in a bad light with STBX.
Not angry at all. It was important to make her have to file a response asking for SS, trying to shift the burdens of $200,000+ of tax debt onto me, and a few other petty things she decided she wanted to pursue......after signing an agreement to seek nothing. It is part of my strategy to address the "Need" of SS VS. Vindictiveness. In Texas the judge can determine the justifiability of spousal support.....it is not an automatic.
I am beyond angry a long time ago. Now it is business negotiation and strategies.....defending my finances from a hostile take over.
I do not have the funds for any unnecessary expenses
Well guess what? Nobody does. So get ready to pay through the nose. That's just the way it is when going through a divorce with an NPD.
I spent almost $50,000 (that I didn't have) getting rid of mine.
You're not going to be able to rationalize ANYTHING with them. Their sense of entitlement is astonishing during a divorce.
Most, if not all NPS's will spend $500 to get a $5 item in a divorce. And $1000's to get what they are not even legally entitled to. And you will have to pay to keep what is rightfully yours. That's just the way it is. There is no "explaining" to them why that's silly and completely insane, or flushing money down the toilet.
If it were that easy, none of us would be here.

Is it normal for NPDs to want to have all the money
Yes. They are incredibly selfish.
Mine liked the idea to be viewed as altruistic and generous.....
He plays the role of "poor victim" now.
I am still waiting for the PO that has been filed with the court and if I do not get it then I am most definietly going to appeal to have a new judge. Stbx admitted in court that he threatened to kill me and that he was going to hit me but stopped when I threatened him with the police. There should be no reason why I don't get the PO but I truly beleive the judge is a woman hater. He refuses to give me more than the minimum SS even though we produced evidence that I am permanently disabled and the rules state that I should get SS for life.
Now I know from reading everyone's replies to Frank that I am gonna get a 2x4 but I couldn't help myself and I poked the whiny bear. Since he has to pay me SS each month he is making it extremely difficult for me to get the check. I have to have someone drive me to the post office each month because he sends it certifed when the judge told him that he could just transfer it to our joint savings. So this month when I signed my name I put XOXO next to it just to let him know that he isn't getting to me and that I just love getting that check each month. HEHE.
I do not care if it pisses him off cause I am so pissed about what his damn attorney is putting me through with all the requested paper work. I have been working on interrogatories and gathering medical, credit, and other papers. I have two full 8x10 envelopes full of the garbage she is requesting and she wants it from 2008 forward. Like I have the money to just dig through all that crap. I guess she forgot that I am disabled and sick a lot of the time.
While I understand that we shouldn't poke the bear there are just times when it is necessary and times when you just get so flickin pissed off that they are getting it easy while you suffer. I am tired of him getting our home that I helped pay for and he is living his life like I never exsisted while I am still trying to figure out all of my illnesses and get the correct medicines for them.
Frank, I think you did the right thing. Do NOT let her bleed you dry and too flippin bad if she doesn't like that you were able to stop her from filing first so she could take you to the cleaners. You are a good man who didn't deserve the crap you are receiving.
None of us deserved the treatment, neglect, walking on eggshells, threats of death or violence from these NPD spouses. We all had something that they wanted and it was our strength and independence. They see that in us and they know that they do not have it so they suck us dry until we are nothing but a shell of the person we were before. I am working hard to be the woman I was before I met stbxnpd. I will overcome the shit he dished out to me and I will be strong and independent once again. I will just do it in a different state. I no longer care what he thinks of me or how I look to him. He is dead to me and in April I will have no more reminders but the monthly check.
Be proud that you were able to walk away and can fix yourself, they are stuck with what they are and they will just suck the next person they meet dry as well. Life for them is empty because they can never truly be happy. They can't feel real true love, they can't feel hope, happiness, comfort, empathy, sympathy or kindness. All they can do is mirror what they see but never feel fulfilled. I pity my stbx but I don't want him anymore.
Hugs to you all on this lovely Sunday. Be proud of yourselves and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it for all that you have been through.
So this month when I signed my name I put XOXO next to it just to let him know that he isn't getting to me and that I just love getting that check each month. HEHE.
Letting him know he isn't getting to you is not putting anything. Not complaining about the inconvenience. Finding a way to make that weekly trip to the PO a positive thing, incorporate the ride into a way to get other errands done.
Having sent a "sign" to him, the game will continue and he'll look for the next sign. He won't get bored of the game and use the simple transfer of funds because you engaged and now he is getting ego kibble. Those XOXO mean you have more weeks of PO trips in your future.
You have rewarded his behavior. You gave him something in return for his being a dickhead. So the dickhead behavior will continue.
I GET the frustration and the despair and the whole it is so unfucking fair. I get it. I come here and rant away. I journal I cry I storm and gnash my teeth. I call my mom, I play loud angry music.
Nothing about the interaction with the NPD is fun or fair. I am trying to do everything I can to limit my exposure and to decrease his desire to play with me. I am in court. I am fighting the good fight in the legal arena but without threats or pleas. It is what it is.
Just like dieting (that is hard too), just because you get really really hungry doesn't mean that chocolate cake doesn't put calories on you. There are consequences to giving in to our frustration, anger and the injustice.
svb, as frustrating as getting all that paperwork is, it costs you time. He pays the L to go through it. Small comfort. I know.
I am not saying you roll over and play dead. I am saying be smart. Know what the end game is, know what the consequences are. Weigh the risk and reward.
Look at behavior modification studies. A negative or positive reward reinforces the behavior.
You sending your "XXOO's" to this man who has threatened to kill you are probably going to come back to bite you. Even though you meant them to show him that he's "not getting to you", he can now use these as evidence in your request for your PO. These X's and O's may show the court that you are not fearful of him and are actually showing him affection. This action may have completely jeapordized your chances of receiving your PO.
This is another reaon for complete NC. No matter how frustrated you are, no matter how unfair, do not allow yourself to be baited.
Back to email. I did however send him an email asking for a private one instead of work email so I can't be accused of harrassing him at work. I did send him an email, cc my attorney, telling him his deposit was too late in the day and funds wont be available until Tuesday. I did mention that I was unable to buy food and a prescription for our son because of this and I had to use a cc. I am trying to keep things documented for court, and to show him that his games of control are backfiring. I need to stay in control of my emotions, which is hard, and keep everything business like.
Advise from the experts that have gone before me please.
Asking him nicely is only going to get you more lip action.
I need to stay in control of my emotions, which is hard, and keep everything business like.
wontdefineme, you are right, it is very hard, but the only possible solution if you want to get things done your way or at least have the best possible result.
Although I also was told differently by several people at the time I often emailed directly as lawyers sometimes make things worse just by using a different kind of language....plus some of them like to earn a lot of money by prolonging this shit.
It proved to be useful though to send my answer to the NPD to my lawyer first. She sometimes just changed a phrase so it could be used in court later, but my NPD never knew a lawyer saw it
It helped a lot to read the old threads to remain businesslike and stay NC most of the time. Because I had to realise what I would have to face if I didn´t. So yes, ist is hard, but we are all here to support you .
plus some of them like to earn a lot of money by prolonging this shit.
Some lawyers may do this. But it's more likely that it's your NPD who is prolonging things. As I've said before, during a divorce an NPD's sense of entitlement will be astonishing. They will not settle for anything less than EVERYTHING. They will fight for every last thing, right down to the candlesticks. They will avoid filling out interrogatories. They will postpone hearings. They will file motion after motion requesting the most ridiculous of the ridiculous. In the mean time, they will be telling everyone who will listen that YOU are the one dragging your feet because you can't bear to live without him.
Your best position is to document, document, document. If you're willing to get out of your marriage with nothing, just leave and don't fight. But if you have something worth fighting for, be prepared to pay. There is no way around it.
NPD's don't care about the money they spend. Most of the time it's not even their money they are spending. It's their mommy and daddy's money or the OW's money. If it is their money, they don't care either. It's win at any cost.
The way you will win is by PROVING your position with DOCUMENTED PROOF of your position. NPD's lie. They think that everyone believes their lies, including judges. Well, a pile of receipts, certificates of ownership, canceled checks, bank statements, etc will beat a big story any day
[This message edited by sadtoo at 4:55 PM, February 26th (Sunday)]
It's easy to forget these NPD's are not normal. It's okay for other people to engage in some game playing with their ex's and yes, it can be fun 'sticking it up them". But you are not dealing with your average run-of-the-mill ex spouse where a bit of tit for tat doesn't amount to serious consequences for you.
Let them think they are right. Let them think they have "won".
Think about what you need for your wellbeing and put all your energy into YOU.
What is best for you?
As little contact with the NPD as possible. That is what is best for you.
When I finally got my XNPDWH out of the house he thought he had "won" because he took half the furniture. The ONLY things he didn't take where items I either had before we met or I had bought. He even dug up the pool lights he had installed.
But I didn't say a word. Friends and family were aghast when they heard he was planning to take half the furniture. You see, I paid for all our holidays, I paid the bills when he didn't have enough to contribute, I replaced household items when they broke, I paid for his licences, lent him money that he never paid back ...
But what I needed was for him to get out of the house. I needed to be safe from his NPD rages. I used his NPD against him though. He thinks in grandiose terms and short term gratification.
I may have lost half the furniture but I gained peace of mind when he left.
12 months on I have all I need. Kind people donated furniture and other items and I'm slowly getting things replaced.
He may think he 'won' but he is wrong. I have won my right to live a peaceful life. I have won the right to direct my future. And I have won the integrity stakes hands down!
Pick your battles based on what you need for a peaceful life.
"Live the best life possible."

MIDLAND – While it is early in this 48-game season, the Calgary Flames are languishing at the bottom of the standings.
Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff have failed to carry the team, but they shouldn't have to. They are in their mid 30s, and that is not a recipe for success.
I have a ton of respect for both players and would love to seem them win the Stanley Cup, but, barring a miracle, it will not happen in Calgary.
When you look around the Western Conference, almost every team has a collection of players for now and the future. For example, Anaheim has Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Bobby Ryan and a pretty deep prospect pool. Colorado has Matt Duchene, Gabriel Landeskog and Ryan O'Reilly (if he ever re-signs).
Dallas has Jamie Benn, Loui Eriksson and others on the way. Minnesota has Zach Parise and Ryan Suter in their prime, with a great collection of youngsters already making an impact. And everybody already knows about the youth movement in Edmonton.
Even Columbus has a nothing-to-lose attitude with Jack Johnson, Ryan Johansen and a prime prospect in Ryan Murray potentially ready for NHL action next year.
In Calgary, however, they have one of the worst drafting records since 2000, and a prospect pool that continually ranks near the bottom. They have a good piece in Sven Baertschi, but everyone else is a question mark. Mark Jankowski has big-time upside, but he played his teen years at a Quebec prep school against lesser competition, unlike his peers who either played in major junior, college or Europe.
Leland Irving has been touted as the next big Calgary goaltender, but he was drafted in 2006 and has just gotten to the NHL as a backup. They have some good defence prospects in Patrick Sieloff and Tyler Wotherspoon, but neither projects to be more than shutdown guys with limited offensive upside. Markus Granlund and Johnny Gaudreau are very talented, but it is unclear where they would fit in an NHL lineup.
Calgary has a veteran lineup laden with underachievers with big contracts. Critics have been calling for Calgary to tear it down for years, but the Flames have ignored the pleas and soldiered on. It would not be the worst thing if Calgary tanked this year. They would be able to nab big two-way defenceman Seth Jones or franchise centre Nathan MacKinnon, two guys who could step in immediately.
Calgary needs to start anew. Iginla and Kiprusoff need to move on, but that is ultimately their decision to make. Iginla, especially, has been loyal to Calgary, but if he had a chance to go to a contender like Pittsburgh and line up alongside an elite centreman in Sidney Crosby, would he finally say yes?

Records fall at alarming rates in Olympic track and field competition
Story Highlights
The Olympics saw 75 national records set in London's track and field events
Many record-breaking athletes barely qualified to compete in the London Games
Of the many records set, several come by way of athletes' own perseverance
LONDON -- Even when the world's greatest athletes come together, track and field remains a sport of relative success. Two runners might sweep along the track at the same pace, as part of the same pack, and for one woman to hold that pace is lion-hearted, while for another to keep the same pace is apathetic.
On the track in London, there was David Rudisha, the Maasai warrior from Kenya, who smashed his own world record in the 800 meters. But it was not Rudisha's night alone. In the slipstream of greatness, miraculous things occur. That race is best understood in 16 letters: WR, NR, PB, PB, PB, NR, SB, PB. In other words, every single man ran his best, even Andrew Osagie, the Brit who finished last, but ran faster than he ever had before. What more can one ask from a race? Or any sporting event? Three national records were set in the men's 800-meter final, which may well be a record in itself for any 800-meter race. Nick Symmonds, the American who finished fifth in a personal best 1:42.95, said that he ran faster than he thought he would ever physically be capable of in his life. "Redefining my own limits," he said, "which is really what sport is about."
Some athletes redefined the limits of all humanity. There was, of course, Usain Bolt, who anchored the Jamaican 4x100-meter relay team to a world record 36.84, besting Jamaica's record from last year's world championships. Allyson Felix and the U.S. women's 4x100 similarly smashed the world record, but by breaking a 27-year-old mark set by East Germany. The Bahamas men's 4x400-meter relay set a national record, winning the first men's track and field gold medal for the country of 350,000, and defeating the United States, which had crossed the line first in every Olympic 4x400 it had entered since 1952.
But most of the record-breaking on the track and in the field was occurring right in front of spectators who had no idea. There were 75 national records set in track and field, some by athletes who did not meet Olympic qualifying standards but were given wild card bids by the IOC, in the hope of engaging those nations more fully in the Olympic movement. (In Beijing, 85 national records were set in track and field, five of which were world records -- three being set by Usain Bolt and the Jamaican 4x100-meter relay.) Many of the athletes who set national records had no hope of even making a final, much less medaling. But the athletic tradition of a nation is not built overnight, and sometimes placing the first stone can be the most difficult, but also the most important. Like Guor Marial, a refugee from Sudan who refused to run the Olympic marathon for the country from which he fled, but was allowed -- just days before the Games started -- to run as a citizen of 13-month-old South Sudan under the Olympic flag.
Or 19-year-old Maziah Mahusin, the first woman ever to compete in the Olympics for Brunei. Mahusin won a race at school sports day when she was 14, and was given a chance to train with Brunei's national team. Four months ago, Brunei's Olympic committee called her to a meeting where she was told she would compete in the Olympics, and carry the flag for Brunei. Mahusin was thrilled. Still, she had never competed in front of a large crowd before, and when she stepped into Olympic stadium, she got so nervous she could hardly bring herself to start the 400-meters. "When I came in, I was like, Oh, I can't do this," she says. "I can't do it." But she did it, running a national record 59.28, to take sixth in a first round heat. "I'm really happy right now!" Mahusin said after the race. "I can't wait to see my coach." Mahusin, who studies computers in Brunei, says that she was often told there was no future in athletics for a woman, so she should concentrate on her studies. "I really want to prove them wrong," she says. She'd also like to inspire other female athletes in Brunei so that she will no longer have to train only with men. "It's really just more fun, and I'd feel more confident about myself with another female athlete," she says. "And, you know, sharing all that female stuff. So I hope there's a lot of female athletes soon in Brunei." Still, apart from such lofty ambitions, Mahusin was able to enjoy some of the same things in London that other athletes did. "On the second day I met Usain Bolt!" she effused.
Stories of triumph and perseverance abound in London, some tinged with creativity. Like that of Julius Yego, who finished 12th in the javelin for Kenya. That nation of legendary distance runners has scant tradition in javelin, and Yego learned his skills practicing with sticks and copying technique from YouTube.
Or how about Asenate Manoa, who set the Tuvalu national record for the women's 100-meters in 13.48 seconds, finishing 27th of 33 competitors. Manoa actually competed in the Olympics four years ago in Beijing, and that was her first time ever touching a synthetic track. Prior to that, Manoa had trained on an airport runway. When Manoa walked into Olympic stadium in London, it was to perform in front of eight times as many people as live in her entire country. (The only major media exposure Manoa received in London was when she answered, "I am staying focused on my running," to a question from England's Daily Mail about sex in the Olympic village.)

Chappell backs radical Twenty20 plans
Australian legend Greg Chappell has backed Cricket Australias (CA) radical plans to shake up state Twenty20 cricket and he believes it will help develop more elite Australian cricketers.
CA announced yesterday that it would launch a new city based Twenty20 league in 2012 which they hope will become the summer's answer to the NRL and AFL.
The plans will cause the biggest shake up in Australian state cricket since the launch of World Series Cricket by Kerry Packer in the late 1970's and Chappell feels the plans would bring Australia onto a level playing field with India.
There's no doubt that 20-over cricket is going to be a big part of the future of the game said Chappell. The idea of expanding the competition is good, it fits in well with the development of young cricketers, it means some more young cricketers will get exposure at the domestic level.
Chappell still wants Australias best cricketers to play in the existing Sheffield Shield and one-day competitions and he hopes the new city based Twenty20 league wont stop players learning the longer form of the game.
. "Four-day cricket is a very important part of our development process and even for developing players to play short-form cricket," he said.
"There's an element of the longer form of processes, of decision making, stamina, resilience - all those things that are an important part of the make-up of a player, whatever format he's going to play."

North Georgia Stays Perfect, edge Flager 63-53
St. Augustine, Fla. – The North Georgia
men's basketball stayed perfect on the season Saturday
evening as they traveled to Flagler College and used a late run to
come away with a 63-53 victory in non-conference action.
North Georgia found themselves in an early hole as Flagler came out and jumped out to an 11-2 advantage, but the Saints answered with a run of their own and took their first lead of the game 15-13 on a pair of free throws from Myron Talbert at the 9:19 mark.
North Georgia led by as many as three points in the first period, but Flagler closed the half on a 12-4 run to take a 28-23 lead into the break.
The Saints started the second half on fire as they knocked down a pair of three-pointers to ignite a run that saw them retake the lead 33-31 on a jumper from Anthony Rowe with 17:15 remaining in the contest. After a tie and lead change, North Georgia pulled it front for good, using a 10-0 run capped by a three-pointer from Mikaeil Carter to give the Saints a nine-point lead at 48-39.
North Georgia held Flagler to just 10 points over the final 6:46 to pull out the 10-point victory and stay unbeaten on the young season.
The Saints were led by four players with 12 points, as Carter, Brody Langton, and Andre Morgan all posted a dozen points, while Rowe put up 12 points and pulled down as many rebounds for a double-double.
Flagler (1-6) was led by Ben De La Cruz and D.J. Ferguson who both tallied 12 points in the defeat.
North Georgia (3-0) returns to action on December 13, 2008, traveling to Newberry College for a 4:00 p.m. non-conference matchup.

Trulia is the latest website daring the public tobuy its shares, hoping to raise $75 million in the very competitive world of real estate listings.
The online real estate company is also setting itself up to go directly against its rival Zillow.
Unfortunately, in this post-Facebookinitial public offering world, investors are less willing to take a chance on a company that hasn't turned a profit.
That wasn't the case for Zillow when it went public in July of 2011. It priced at $20 above its planned range of $16 to $18 and shot up to $60 on its first trade. Its first-day return was 79 percent. By December 2011, Zillow's stock was down to around $21.
The volatility has continued, but 2012 has been kinder, and Zillow shares have bumped back up to close Thursday at $37.99.
There aren't a ton of analysts covering Zillow — only nine, but six give it a "buy" rating. Canaccord Genuity analyst Michael Graham even reaffirmed its "buy" rating on Zillow when Trulia filed. He believes Zillow's competitive position is intact, writing: "They create tools for agents and are pursuing lower-tier subscribers."
But is there really much difference between the two?
Trulia claims it is "redefining the home search experience" and sells itself as having the "inside scoop." The company also makes a big deal out of its "free" products for agents, but also said its subscription products provide a high rate of return on investment.
The company's IPO filing states, "On average, paying subscribers receive more than five times the number of monthly leads compared to real estate professionals who only use our free products."
Zillow also provides subscriptions for professionals.
Real estate professional Ed Mermelstein said neither Zillow or Trulia provide much value in his opinion. He said both Street Easy and Property Shark give more detail on properties, such as zoning, taxes, and property size.
Mermelstein also questioned the reliability of Zillow and Trulia. He believes most consumers use the sites to get a sense of the big picture, but when they get serious they go directly to a broker's website, like Re/Max or Century 21.
A comparison of my own home brought extreme spreads in the market value. Trulia came in at $253,000, while Property Shark said it was worth $458,000. Zillow's custom "Zestimate" is $295,852. It would be nice if I could pay taxes on the lower amount and sell for the higher.
As a consumer, I don't really see very much difference between all these sites. I found school information and property size. Some even knew I had improved my home and listed my tax amounts. The valuations are so varied, though it's hard to know who's right. We'll call this round a draw.
In its S-1 filing, Trulia said it had 22 million monthly unique visitors in six months ending June 2012. The company also said 76 percent of its users are actually serious buyers, implying Zillow is for looky-loos. However, for the three months ended in June, Zillow had 33.5 million average monthly uniques, so Zillow is winning that battle.
Let's take a look at revenue and net income. Trulia books revenue primarily from sales of subscription products to real estate professionals. They also generate revenue from display advertising. For the years ended Dec. 31, 2009, 2010, and 2011, and the six months ended June 30, 2012, Trulia reported revenue of $10.3 million, $19.8 million, $38.5 million, and $29 million, respectively. However, during the same periods, the company notched net losses of $7 million, $3.8 million, $6.2 million, and $7.6 million, respectively.
Zillow during those same years ended Dec. 31, 2009, 2010, and 2011, delivered revenue of $17.4 million, $30.4 million and $66 million respectively, along with revenue of $50.5 million for the six months ended June 30, much higher than Trulia. Zillow has also managed to break into the black, posting net income of $3 million for the first six months of 2012, so it looks like Zillow is winning this round, as well.
Zillow is experiencing some insider selling, which normally isn't a good sign, but the stock's been public for a year so it's not a shock that some folks are looking to cash in a bit.
Zillow was also on an upswing right before it went public, whereas Trulia's losses are increasing. The IPO market is suffering from Web fatigue after Facebook, so investors are probably better off with Zillow's proven track record. The best strategy with Trulia may be to wait until the company is profitable.

I am new to this forum, and a little bit of a noobie. I have an HP G60-125NR Notebook. I have an AMD Turion x2 Processor, and a Nvidia Geforce 8200M Graphics card. I attempted to use both versions of Empire Efi for Amd, along with a legal copy of the snow leopard Installation Dvd. Empire Efi boots normally, the darth vader guy appears, I eject the Empire Efi dvd, insert the Snow Leopard Dvd, press f5, the snow leopard dvd appears, and I press enter. Some white text appears in front of the Darth Vader guy, that is near impossible to read, a few seconds later, instead of going into a black screen with lots of writing, like it apparently is supposed to, my computer just restarts, and starts to boot normally. I was wondering if there was a fix for this, or if there was another way to install snow leopard on my notebook laptop, with the hardware it currently has, without an already existing leopard install. Thank You for your help! :) :)
PS: I have the same problem with Hazard Snow Leopard, it loads two /library files, and then restarts. I tried busratio=20 -v, cpus=1, -x, -f, and any possible combination with those commands.
Can someone please answer this post. Even if the answer is just "It is impossible." Over 160 people viewed this, and not a single person answered. Someone, please answer.
