249 Ponce De Leon, Atlanta, GA | Directions 3030833.772361 -84.379162
Neighborhoods: Midtown, Northeast, Northeast
pasta isn't good anymore – TOSF used to be the place to fo to when you were craving for good family style Italian food. Not anymore. The spaghetti with meatballs didn't taste as good as I remembered and the wait staff didn't even acknowledge our complaints.
Horrible service – Complained to management in a polite manner to the manager and he became angry and was asked to leave.
Horrible service-- will never go back – I've been here many times. Most of the time service has been slow and spotty at best, with a few exceptions. I keep going back, though, for the great prices (salad, bread, entree, dessert for $10!) and the mizithra cheese dish, which I can't get enough of.
The last straw came this weekend, when I took some family from out of town here for dinner. We sat for 15 minutes before anyone came by to take our order, and it was the manager because there weren't enough servers on duty. We ordered a bottle of wine, and ten minutes later he came back to tell us they were out, and would be back "a few minutes later" to see what our other choice was. I told him that we were ready to order, so he hastily took our food orders, not bothering to ask if we wanted soup or salad.
Ten minutes later, no one had come back with bread, or to ask what drinks we wanted.
So we got up and left.
All in all, we were there for over 30 minutes with NOTHING to show for it.
Such a shame, because it has so much potential. But when even the managers don't care about your service, there's really no point in eating there.
I won't be back.
Fun Place – It's not a 5 star place to dine, but the food isn't bad and the tab at the end of the night including all the drinks....makes it worth a try. Been there several times and had pretty good service. Better with a group of people.
Beautiful Site, Great Location, Lousy Food! – Was there on Friday, loved the surroundings and the service was good. The food, however, was terrible. I had the lasagne- not even close to a well-known frozen brand. Tea was weak, not tasty. Portions small. I might have forgiven these things had the bread been good. Not so, cheap crumbly lacking in flavor and texture. My friend and I both ordered the italian sausage on the side- I did not find it edible and said so to the waiter.This could be a great family place given the decor and atmosphere- I wanted to bring my family on inauguration day- but didnt feel that I could explain the quality of the food. I wish I could understand the kind of thinking that goes into promoting a venue, on one hand,and shooting yourself in the foot with the food!
Kitschy Italian restaurant churns out heaping plates of pasta that won't break the bank. – In Short
Whimsical antiques and decorative items--velvet armchairs, vintage-looking fringed lamps and booths made from iron bedsteads--fill the dining room. The OSF Classics menu offers spaghetti with a choice of mushroom sauce, rich meat sauce, browned butter and feta-like mizithra cheese sauce, and more. Other popular favorites are the baked lasagna--layers of noodles, tomato sauce and four kinds of cheese--and the fettuccine Alfredo. Meals include a green salad, fresh-baked bread and ice cream.
Awful Service! – We went here for my friend's birthday tonight. While we were a large party (of about 20), there was no excuse for the bad service that we received. We had two waiters, and even then food was brought sporadically. Also, they brought the checks one at a time, which took about an hour. Also, at the end, one waiter said to my friend "Hey birthday girl...here's the rest of the stuff that hasn't been paid for," handed her the bill and walked off. The bill was about $40, and many items on there had already been paid for. We spoke to the manager, and she was very polite and fixed everything right away.
Also, they were out of soup...huh??
Don't get me wrong, we understand having large parties, about half of us are servers, but the attitude was uncalled for and the wait for the checks was absolutely ridiculous.
I had the tortellinis, and it was REALLY good however, unless they get a better staff, I'll be getting it to go!
Save your time and money and find another place for dinner – I had passed by the old spaghetti factory for a couple of years, but only last weekend decided to try it out. When my husband and I walked in, I was very impressed with the decor. Its kind of eccentric, but the dining room is very spacious, and we were seated immediately. I thought the trolley car sitting in the middle of the restaurant was odd, but cute. The family that was seated in it looked like they were having a good time. The enjoyable part of my dining experience here lasted for about the first 5 minutes of walking in, it was all downhill from there
After we were seated we waited an unusually long time for our waitress to come bring us our drinks. My hubby and I were pretty hungry so the waitress did good to quickly ask us if she could start us out with some "garlic cheese bread" as an appetizer. We agreed, not knowing that bread actually came with the entree, but I guess that was oversight on our part.
The salad was pretty good, but what happened to the appetizer we ordered? She was nice to come by to tell us that it was still in the oven, but they wound up bringing the soggy overcooked cheesebread WITH our meals...is that an appetizer?
I ordered the chicken parm, my husband the spaghetti with two very oddly shaped visually unappealing meatballs. The food was very bland, boring, tasteless and unimpressive. Then we waited and waited and waited for the waitress to check on us, as ask us if we wanted ice cream..took 20 mins for her to bring out the ice cream..then another 30 to bring us the check.
Don't bother with this place, I suspect most people will want to go there at least once, though as it looks really nice from the outside. But if the food is bad, nothing can make up for it.
Extremely dissapointed – The whole experience was a total wreck; from the waitress to the food. Her manners were awful and blamed everything on the cook and the kitchen when we asked. The food seemed like they re-heated it in the microwave. It took forever to get salads that were already prepared. It is too bad that a place that has so much space and looks pretty has such bad food and service. Will never go back.
Not impressed! – I love Italian food--I love cooking it and I love eating it. I've eaten at several wonderful Italian restaurants in the Atlanta Metro Area. This isn't one of them.
The service was incredibly slow--it took over 15 minutes for us to get our drink order, another 15 to get our salads out, drink refils were few and far-between, and I thought we'd never see our check.
The food and drinks were not worth the wait--my cosmopolitan was made with the house vodka, which was of such a poor quality that it tasted and felt as if I were drinking rubbing alcohol; the salads were wilted and drowning in dressing; the pasta was extremely overcooked (only slightly less than canned pasta) and the meat sauce contained no meat (I asked the waitress about it, thinking the wrong sauce had been used and was advised that even she felt the meat sauce didn't really contain enough meat; I can only conclude that it perhaps contains meat broth because there was absolutely no meat in it)--I've actually had better spaghetti in a school cafeteria.
We were supposed to have a choice of vanilla or spumoni icecream, but were all given the "spumoni", which turned out to really be green, pink, and chocolate icecream, as the "pistachio" contained no nuts nor any pistachio flavor at all, and the "fruit" contained no fruit nor almonds and no fruit flavor and was 1/2 melted by the time it reached our table.
The only part of the meal that was anything like what one would expect when ordering it was the olive tapanade appetizer. It was actually good, but not so good as to be a reason to patronize this establishment.
Save yourself the trouble and the cash and heat up one of those pasta dinners available in the freezer section at the grocery store.

Sheep producers can now apply for the ewe-lamb
replacement and retention program at U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) county offices. The Bush Administration has committed $18 million in funding for this final year of the ewe-lamb program, which is aimed at strengthening the U.S. sheep industry.
USDA announced program availability earlier this year to allow producers the opportunity to retain or purchase ewe lambs for their breeding herd. The announcement of the sign-up has been anticipated by producers with the program requirements being essentially the same as in recent years. The base period for eligibility is Aug. 1, 2003 to July 31, 2004. Sign-up begins on Oct. 25, 2004.
"We commend the Administration for providing this program to sheep producers," stated American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) Executive Director Peter Orwick. "This program is particularly valuable for those operators who experienced severe drought conditions in 2002 and were
unable to expand their sheep herds because of insufficient feed or water."
"We expect the application period to be available for several weeks. However, I encourage producers to have their paperwork filed by mid November," said ASI President and Ohio sheep producer Guy Flora. "This is in anticipation of the sign-up period ending in mid to late November so payments can be made in December of 2004."
Producers should contact their local FSA office for the program details and application.
ASI is the national trade organization of the U.S. sheep industry supported by 41 state sheep associations, benefiting the interests of more than 67,000 sheep producers.

April 01, 2011
Story at a Glance
Media Contacts
(WASHINGTON, DC) – Mayor Vincent C. Gray today released his Fiscal Year 2012 Proposed Budget and Financial Plan, featuring a combination of cost savings and revenue enhancements that will cover the $322.1 million deficit between expected income and expenses for the fiscal year that begins October 1, 2011.
"This budget reflects my focus on the government's top priorities: fiscal stability, quality education, jobs and economic development, and public safety," Mayor Gray said. "It reflects the input of public servants and residents who have helped us to make some tough choices. I'm proud that my budget team has done an excellent job of balancing twin challenges with this spending plan – ensuring our city's fiscal stability and ensuring that we continue to provide our residents essential services."
The financial plan closes the $322.1 million gap through a combination of:
• $187 million in expenditure cuts from the Chief Financial Officer's Fiscal Year 2012 Current Services Funding Level budget (58 percent of the total budget gap);
• $127.2 million in tax increases (39 percent of the total budget gap); and
• $7.9 million in additional revenue from leasing, expanded sales and advertising.
The budget is structurally balanced without dipping into reserve fund balances – meaning that, for the first time in four years, the District government will pay for its annual expenditures with annual revenue. It also falls within the District's 12 percent cap on tax-supported debt in the General Fund.
The Mayor emphasized that balancing the budget without dipping further into fund balances was necessary for the District's fiscal stability. Failure to make financially responsible decisions to "rightsize" the structural gap in the District's budget could result in:
• A downgrade in the District's bond ratings;
• Increased congressional interference in District affairs; or
• Loss of Home Rule and the return to a Financial Control Board.
Mayor Gray said he wants residents and community stakeholders to understand what he is proposing because the numbers directly impact their lives. Beginning April 6, he and administration officials will take his budget message directly to the citizens and apprise them of how they might be affected. A series of town hall and neighborhood budget briefings will be held. In addition, the budget and related materials will be posted at http://budget.dc.gov/.
"I was encouraged by the more than 3,000 responses to an online budget survey we posted two weeks ago," said Mayor Gray. "I will continue to engage residents to explain what's in my budget proposal and prepare them for any necessary reductions and revenue increases."
The Mayor will present his budget at the Council's Committee of the Whole public briefing on Wednesday, April 6. The Council Committee Public Hearings will take place from April 7 through May 6, with final passage of the Budget Support Act scheduled for June 7.

Game Freak has created yet another fast-but-frail Electric-type, but unlike the others, Galvantula has a few tricks up its sleeve (claws?) to set it apart from the rest of the pack. The name of the game is Thunder; a move that is otherwise useless outside of rain due to its piss-poor accuracy, but sees use due to Galvantula's semi exclusive ability, Compoundeyes. Compoundeyes raises Thunder's accuracy to nice a 91%, which ends up giving Galvantula some serious firepower. On top of having an awesome Thunder, it gets incredible coverage; it hits everything in UU for at least neutral damage. Unfortunately, Galvantula is not without its drawbacks. The main catch is that Galvantula's defenses downright suck. One good hit and its finished, and to add insult to injury, it has a Stealth Rock weakness! Despite this, Galvantula is ultimately a good Pokemon that moves fast and hits hard. If you can manage to set up entry hazards, your opponent will struggle trying to get a handle on this electric spider.
Thunder with a Compoundeyes boost to its accuracy is the ultimate trump card, and it lets Galvantula strike down foes with the fury of Zeus himself. Absolutely nothing in UU likes taking a 120 Base Power STAB Electric-type move, and despite Galvantula's relatively humble Special Attack stat, Thunder will be doing some major damage to anything that doesn't resist it. Bug Buzz compliments Thunder by getting excellent damage against most of the Electric-type resists that reside in UU. Bug Buzz is another useful tool that Galvantula has over other Electric-types, because they mostly rely on Hidden Power for coverage against Electric-type resists. Hidden Power Ice provides Galvantula with even more coverage (pseudo BoltBeam) and is absolutely required for dealing with Flygon and Gligar. The former is still hit hard by Bug Buzz, but Flygon commonly sport Choice Scarf, so taking them out in one shot is preferred. Gligar can comfortably sponge Galvantula's attacks and ends up turning it into a liability by setting up hazards or getting a chance to Roost, so using Hidden Power Ice can deter it from getting in any free turns. As if those two coverage moves alone weren't enough, Galvantula also gets Energy Ball, which allows it to put the hurt on Swampert and Rhyperior. Energy Ball might seem redundant given the above coverage moves, but consider the fact that Swampert is rarely 2HKOed by Bug Buzz, and while Rhyperior may take super effective damage from Hidden Power Ice, it's not nearly enough to put it down. On the other hand, Substitute over Energy Ball will ruin teams that solely rely on checks to deal with Galvantula. The loss in coverage means that Swampert and Rhyperior are more of a threat, so a greater reliance on entry hazards is needed to wear them down.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
If you're desperate, Choice Scarf is always an option for Galvantula, but Raikou and Zapdos are perpetually better at pulling it off. Disable can have its uses, but Galvantula can't afford to take any stray hits and it's almost always better off attacking instead. Sucker Punch can be used to pick off weakened threats that are faster than Galvantula, and its admittedly an unexpected tactic that can prove useful at times. Still, Galvantula is naturally fast, and its Sucker Punch is not too threatening coming off a base 77 Attack stat with no investment. Spider Web can trap foes, but it is just as flawed as Disable; Galvantula should never waste any turns by not attacking. Electroweb is Galvantula's signature move, but unfortunately, the only thing cool about this move is its name. Don't expect to get much mileage out of any of these moves: they're in Other Options for a reason!
Checks and Counters
No matter what you do, Snorlax will stop Galvantula in its tracks with its patented special tanking skills. It can seriously cripple Galvantula with Body Slam or Return (or outright OHKO if its running a Choice Band), and it can even outmaneuver Galvantula and trap it with Pursuit. Other than that, there isn't another Pokemon in UU that 100% counters Galvantula. Standard Electric-type checks such as Rhyperior, Swampert, and Gligar will fall against the right coverage move. Even the omnipresent Flygon can't switch in willy-nilly because on top of Hidden Power Ice OHKOing it, Bug Buzz does heavy damage to it. This makes Galvantula sound unstoppable, but in reality, there are multiple ways of stopping it outside of outright countering it. Strong priority moves will usually kill it as its defenses are dirt poor. ExtremeSpeed from offensive Arcanine and Aqua Jet from Azumarill both do heavy damage to Galvantula, which makes them excellent checks down the line as the battle goes on. Strong Choice Scarf users such as Flygon and Krookodile are also good at getting a handle on Galvantula because they can OHKO Galvantula with Earthquake after Stealth Rock damage. The above two Pokemon should avoid directly switching in however, unless you know an Electric-type move is coming. If you can stack entry hazards against the player using Galvantula, they'll have a hard time using it due to its vulnerability to Stealth Rock and pitiful defenses.

Two Tone Twisted Agate Pendant
This beautiful pendant necklace can be made with any stone. Just remember if you use a larger stone to add length to wire cuts.
Designed by Cindy Becker.
Material List
- Beadalon® Round Wire, 20 ga. – Antique Brass (7")
- Beadalon® Round Wire, 22 ga. – Lighter Antique Brass (2 - 10")
- Beadalon® Round Wire, 22 ga. – Darker Antique Brass (4 - 10")
- Beadalon® Round Wire, 26 ga. – Antique Brass (12")
- Beadalon® Wire Twister
- Beadalon® Chain Nose Pliers
- Beadalon® Wire Cutters
- Beadalon® Bale Maker
- Beadalon® Round Nose Pliers
- Bead Gallery® Agate
- Ruler
Project Instructions
Step 1 Cut wires to size: one 7" piece of 20 ga., two 10" pieces of lighter 22 ga., four 10" pieces of darker 22 ga. and one 22" piece of 26 gauge. Pair up two lighter and one darker 22 ga. wires.
Step 2 Tightly secure all ends in the Beadalon® Wire Twister and twist together.
Step 3 Repeat using the remaining 22 ga. wires. You should now have two bundles of twisted wire.
Step 4 Cut 12" piece of 26 ga. wire.
Step 5 Place Beadalon® chain nose pliers about ¼" from end of 26 ga. wire and make 90° bend, making a hook.
Step 6 Place the 7" 20 ga. wire in the middle of the two twisted, bundled wires.
Step 7 Find center of the wires and position hook (wire cut in Step 4) around the three wires and begin to wrap tightly around the bundle six times. Make sure the wires are close and touching.
Step 8 Trim the 26 ga. wire and press down on wraps with chain nose pliers so all are flat.
Step 9 Approximately 1¼" away from center wrap, repeat Step 7.
Step 10 Repeat on opposite side. You should now have three separate wraps.
Step 11 Begin to shape wire around agate cabochon.
Step 12 Make another hook on the end of the 26 ga. wire and begin to wrap wires together, where they meet at top of pendant. Make four tight wraps, BUT DO NOT CUT EXCESS 26 ga. wire.
Step 13 Gently separate twisted wires, (two on each side). You should have only two 20 ga. wires in the center.
Step 14 Using Beadalon® bale tool, bend wire to form a pendant bale.
Step 15 Using Beadalon® round nose pliers, make light bend at bottom of bale (just above the four wraps).
Step 16 Take excess 26 ga. wire and wrap four or five times around the bent wire ends. This will secure your pendant bale.
NOTE: The back of the pendant will be the side with the bent wire ends.
Step 17 Trim excess wires.
Step 18 Flip the pendant onto its front, (bent ends are on the back). Using chain nose pliers, pull twisted wires toward center. You should pull wire between wraps. Repeat this step between all four locations bound together with 26 ga. wire.
Step 19 Turn pendant on its back and pop agate cabochon into the pendant setting.
Step 20 Repeat Step 18 on the front of the pendant.
Step 21 Take one twisted wire from either side of the bale (using the two wires closest to the bale) and crisscross two wires.
Step 22 Trim ends about ¼" and untwist ¼" of the wire.
Step 23 Using round nose pliers, begin to curl each wire end.
Step 24 As each wire is twisted, begin to move them over each other to secure them in place.
Step 25 Repeat Steps 21-24 using the back two wires.
Step 26 After all twists are made, gently rub your hand over them to ensure there are no sharp ends. If you find them, use the round nose pliers to tuck them in.

Training To Win Gunfights
Firearms training can no longer be simply a nice outing - a day to get together with buddies, shoot a couple boxes of ammo, and then go play golf or retire to the nearest gin mill for a few drinks.
The streets are becoming more violent than ever. Gun battles are erupting with greater frequency; thugs are heartless and psychopathic. They're intent on hurting and killing anyone who tries to stop their criminal behavior. Guns in the hands of felons are appearing with hardly any warning, which means we must be ready to use lethal force swiftly, confidently and fearlessly. To survive we can't leave anything to chance. Firearms training can no longer be simply a nice outing - a day to get together with buddies, shoot a couple boxes of ammo, and then go play golf or retire to the nearest gin mill for a few drinks. No. Range day must be treated as time spent honing our skills with the only thing that in many cases will save our lives - our pistol.
A good friend and former colleague, Bob Taubert, a.k.a., "The Rock," has just released a new book. The title is Rattenkrieg (Photo 1), a German word for "rat war." Rattenkrieg was a term coined by German soldiers during the battle for Stalingrad. It was used to describe the fighting the Germans encountered with Russian soldiers - vicious, CQB, meant to destroy their enemy. This book is a must-have for every Warrior because it describes the proper mindset, and provides a number of combat courses designed to defeat the knuckle-draggers whose goal is to kill us.
Bob's book is not meant for the beginner, it's not a basic firearms course. Rather, it is an intensive set of drills and courses tailored for the aggressive cop who wants to win each battle and go home at the end of their tour of duty. Be forewarned, however, that Rattenkrieg contains firearm drills that may conflict with your department's policies or regulations. As a rule, before you run any of the courses contained in the book make sure you are in compliance.
In Rattenkrieg, Bob raises an important issue in describing his training philosophy and methods. He recognizes the importance of not making anyone look bad. Cops have huge egos, thus Bob's courses have no scoring or time constraints. The goal of this type of training is to expose cops to tactical shooting drills, thereby increasing their fighting skills. Qualification and shooting for scores is an administrative function. It's not designed to fully prepare you for a gunfight. Once you've learned basic firearms, the key is to retain those skills and be able to adapt them to street encounters. Speed is important, but it takes a back seat to accuracy. Once you've learned to train with consistency, speed becomes a by-product of that redundancy.
Another important point Bob illustrates in Rattenkrieg is the importance of training to shoot with one hand. This tactic is sorely lacking in many firearms training sessions, particularly in combat courses. Truth be known, one-handed shooting expertise will necessarily save your life. "For the tactical operator, one-handed shooting skills are absolutely vital." According to Taubert, many instructors avoid one-handed shooting drills because they are difficult to master, and the results don't measure up to the students' two-handed shooting capabilities.
Here's why you must practice shooting with one hand:
- Your may be using your support hand for blocking or deflecting
- You may be multi-tasking, i.e., opening doors, moving objects, holding on to people and things
- One arm may be out of the fight due to injury
- You may be the shield man
I'm sure you can come up with other reasons, but suffice it to say, our firearms training is overwhelmingly conducted with both hands on the pistol. However, that's not always reality. One-handed shooting is a life-saver. Practice. Practice. Practice. When you do practice your one-handed shooting technique, remember this: grip the gun tightly to prevent stoppages. Never allow the weapon to shift in your hand. Lock the wrist, this will allow the gun to cycle by providing resistance. No limp wristing.

I hate her more than I hate X. Perhaps because I never loved her. Perhaps because she lied to me virtually from the day she moved in. Perhaps because she pretended to me my friend and even tried to offer "advice" on out M -- all the while boinking my H. Perhaps because she never gave me a valid apology. Perhaps because she refused to leave our life after I (and I thought we) specifically asked her to leave.
Or perhaps because she has a hold on him that broke my hold on him. Perhaps because he chose her over me (even though he still wants us both )
Perhaps because X does not understand why SHE is willing to share but I am not
Or perhaps I just beleive she is a 2 faced lying bitch. A-whore
It's a bitter pill to swallow when somebody you are trying to help does this to you.

[This message edited by UKmum at 8:43 AM, April 4th (Wednesday)]
We are almost 3 years out, and our marriage is really good now.
However, sometimes the aftermath caused by him and the ex blankity blank best friends still kinda wind me.
And I have alot of confidance that if he ever loses his mind again, and tries this again, they would 1) laugh at him 2) kick his ass and 3) call me within seconds.
Not all friends will ever do this, (my friends that I have known prior to this), but I hate to admit, I do have a teeny tiny small monster lurking in my head, wondering about new friends.
I am totally aware that is my hang up, and thanfully that teeny tiny monster grows smaller every day.
I just really feel like I am a hamster running on the wheel.. and I am ready to get off the wheel, and try running around in the hamster ball.. kinda like a free range chicken.
OW lives two doors down. I relocated and she was my savior. She told me where things were, which doctors to take my kids too. Our husbands work at the same company. The four of us became best of friends. Our kids all played together.
We took vacations together, got together every weekend. Sat outside in the summer on the nice days and just enjoyed each others company.
Then one day the rug was pulled out from under me. My spouse had a 10 month EA/PA with my friend. She wanted him to leave me for her. He ran the other way.
Everything has changed now. Not only have I lost many things from my spouses betrayal, but also my friends betrayal.
I am no longer as comfortable where I live, but I cannot seem to get myself to move. I have done nothing, why should I have to uproot my life and my kids lives just to I don't have to see her.
She has never contacted me except for one text page saying she was sorry and how I would never understand her pain because of the pain I feel. Back to it being all about her again.
I was desperate for closure.
Just last week I wrote her a closure letter and placed it in her mailbox. I text paged her and told her it was in there, and the choice was hers whether to read it or not. I don't know if she did, nor do I care. I said what I had to say and as far as I am concerned she no longer exists.
She has never contacted me except for one text page saying she was sorry and how I would never understand her pain because of the pain I feel. Back to it being all about her again.
Oh give me a break! Before I left, my X's mistress went aroudn telling mutual friends what a bitch I was for not agreeing to an open marriage.
After I left she claimed to be sad that I didn't want to be friends with her anymore. She of course, never apologized to me. It was all about 'winning' the approval of others.
I guess maybe I let her win. I went NC with all mutual friends who still speak to her. Sorry, I only want loyal friends in my life.
My FWH had a 2+ year A with my supposed best friend (and his coworker). Know what's sad? I spent more money on her than he did. When I knew her family was having financial troubles, I had them all over for dinner repeatedly, I bought her kids diapers and formula, I even bought her FLOWERS for HER birthday! And she settled for being a once a week fuck at lunch time with the occasional "working late at the office" fuck. And big score if I left town for a few days.
She used to talk to me about her marriage problems and how she always felt second best behind her husband's hobbies. Well, knowing she was in love with my H for 2+ years, I'm sure she wasn't investing anything in her marriage herself.
FWH is remorseful, knows he didn't love her as more than a friend, but still doesn't understand why I don't automatically trust him because "he's telling me the truth now".
I honestly don't have one important memory or picture during the time of their A when she isn't there. My kids loved her and her family, she was the first to know when I had my "oops" pregnancy, she just was always there.
How are we expected to rebound from these kinds of betrayals?
I've always had a hard time with female relationships ~ seems like I've been burned by every female friend I've had. It had been years since I put myself out there with another female and I had done just that with ow. We had built a good friendship and were getting deep and I really loved and cared for her when I found the two of them in bed together.
This has rocked my world. It has shaken the trust in every relationship I have (including my family). I don't know who to trust anymore. I question everything people say to me. I wonder what people's motives are (especially right now when so many people seem to want to help me). I find this so very sad. Genuine, honest people who just want to help me and I'm questioning them b/c of what wh and ow did.
"I did the best I could with what I knew...And when I knew better, I did better!" ~ Maya Angelou
In other words...I know what you've been up to all this time now get the hell out of here!!
The part I struggle with is how did they both look me in the eye day after day, when that day they had met for lunch and screwed each other. How do people do that?
Oh wow, fsd! You nailed it there completely. How do you do that?
I struggle with this too. This is probably one of my biggest challenges. Most of the movies that keep replaying revolve around this. It takes a 'special' kind of person to do that I think. I couldn't do it.
Its hard to reconcile how the two people who are supposed to be the closest to you can do this.
OW kept acting uncomfortable every time she sat down. I remember asking her what was wrong and she said something about pulling a muscle or something. I remember my H making a weird face, sort of like a smirk. Come to find out she had told my H he was so much bigger than her boyfriend/fiance and they had had sex for so long (about 45 - 60 min) that he had made her sore.
She has offered to help us and answer our questions. But we MUST understand that she is not here to be flamed, beat-up on, or become the focus of our hurt and anger.
She is remorseful and is in R with her BS (who is also a fellow SIer). Guy's, we have an opportunity to ask questions and try to heal ourselves. Can we offer her the respect she deserves for a) Being a fellow SIer b) being so brave as so offer to help us, and c) having the strength to stay with her BS and help him heal.
I will be gone for two days so will be off the boards. I have asked her to lurk here and if it looks like we are willing and able to treat her with respect and empathy then she will announce herself.
Guys...we have a golden opportunity here. Let's not blow it. Perhaps if we treat her right, she can lead others here to help us also.
Thanks a million.

This time of year is always filled with fun, friends, family, and of course, delicious food. That being said, there's always a lot of pressure when it comes time to prep for that big dinner on Christmas Day. Clearly, any advice on how to make it a delicious success is always welcome.
Looking for some help, I chatted with two of Canada's culinary veterans, Elizabeth Baird and Rose Murray, about all the hustle and bustle in the kitchen over the holidays. Aside from the 40 cookbooks they've collectively edited and published in the past few decades, you'll probably recognize Baird as one of the hosts of 'Canadian Living Cooks'. If anyone would have some solid tips on Christmas cooking, I knew it would be them. So, here they are...
Easy Christmas Eve DinnerRose Murray: Tourtiere. We always have it on Christmas Eve. It's good for Christmas Eve because you can make it ahead, which is great. We have a lot of 'make ahead' hits in my family. Now my son makes it, so we go to his place. That's much better! I love it!
Homemade Cranberry SauceElizabeth Baird: Start out with some oranges, fresh cranberries, sugar and port. It's very nice. A little bit of orange helps a lot!
Finishing the Side DishesElizabeth Baird: There's always a big scramble on top of the stove. Someone mashing the potatoes, etc...The turkey has to rest and needs to be carved before serving, so you can easily reheat all of your vegetables and what not [during that time].
Roasting the TurkeyRose Murray: Make sure you thaw it out properly. There is nothing worse than a half-frozen turkey! Also, look inside and make sure to remove the bag of 'goodies' (giblets).
Elizabeth: Baird: Especially when they're wrapped in plastic. That doesn't do anything for the flavour of the turkey! (laughs)
ShortbreadElizabeth Baird: With shortbread, it's a long and slow process. So you can develop the butter flavours and not too sweet. It's supposed to melt in your mouth.
Making Fruitcake Taste BetterElizabeth Baird: What's nice about a dark fruitcake is that it's made with currants...so you get that really wine-y flavour, and then soak it in lots of rum! And, you have to test it as your maturing it, because, otherwise, how are you supposed to know if this rum is ok?
Hot ChocolateElizabeth Baird: Add a little bit of cinnamon and hot pepper. Just a smidgen! And, if you're making it with cream and really good [quality] chocolate, you can't go wrong!
The Cardinal Rule of Christmas DinnerElizabeth Baird: It's once a year. It's going to be a big cook. Just enjoy it. Give everyone a job. No personal martyrs!
You can find even more great tips and recipes from Elizabeth and Rose in their newest cookbook, 'Canada's Favourite Recipes', which just came out last month and is available for purchase across Canada.
Rum-Soaked Dark FruitcakeElizabeth: Forget all those nasty, slanderous jokes about fruitcake. I suspect those who utter them have never tasted a good fruitcake. For their conversion, I offer a chock-full-of-goodness fruitcake, slightly adapted from Rose's dark rum nut fruitcake, in her Christmas Cookbook, published in 1979.
Fruit and Nuts3 cups (750 mL) chopped mixed candied peel3 cups (750 mL) seeded Lexia or Muscat raisins2 cups (500 mL) currants, rinsed and patted dry1 ½ cups (375 mL) halved candied cherries1 cup (250 mL) slivered blanched almonds1 cup (250 mL) pecan halves, chopped1 cup (250 mL) dark rum¼ cup (60 mL) all-purpose flour
Batter1 cup (250 mL) butter, softened1 ¼ cups (300 mL) packed brown sugar4 large eggs2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla1 ½ cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour1 tsp (5 mL) each baking powder and cinnamon½ tsp (2 mL) each salt, cloves and nutmeg
Aging½ cup (125 mL) darm rum (approx)
Directions:Fruit and nuts - Measure the peel, raisins, currants, cherries, almonds and pecans into a large bowl. Drizzle the rum over the fruit and nuts; toss. Cover and macerate (soak) at least 1 day or up to 3 days, stirring the mixture a few times a day, as time allows. Drain, reserving any liquid.
Batter - Line 13-x 9-inch (3.5 L) metal cake pan with 2 layers of parchment paper; set aside. Arrange 2 racks in the oven, one in the centre of the oven for the cake and the other in the bottom position. Place a large wide pan on the bottom rack; pour in hot water to come halfway up the sides. In a very large bowl, using a mixer, beat the butter until light coloured. Beat in the brown sugar, beating until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, cloves and nutmeg. Stir a third of the flour mixture into the butter mixture, then the reserved soaking liquid, then the remaining dry ingredients in 2 additions to make a smooth batter.Sprinkle the soaked fruit mixture with the ¼ cup (60 mL) flour; toss well. Scrape the batter over the fruit mixture and stir to distribute the batter evenly (although not generously) over the fruit mixture. Scoop into the prepared cake pan, pressing the fruit mixture firmly into the pan. Smooth the top.
Bake in the centre of a 300 degree oven until a tester inserted into the centre comes out clean, about 1 ½ hours. Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack. Remove the cake from the pan; peel off the parchment paper.
Aging - Place the cake on a rimmed baking sheet lined generously with plastic wrap. Cut a double thickness of cheesecloth big enough to enclose the cake. Wrap the cake with the cheesecloth and brush on enough rum to soak the cheesecloth. Wrap the cake in the plastic wrap and place in an airtight container. Store for at least 2 weeks, brushing the cheesecloth every few days with rum if time and budget allow, or until the cake is mellow and moist. The cake will keep for up to 1 year if refrigerated and doesn't need more than an occasional redrenching with rum (unless, of course, the cook needs to sample the cake to assess how it's mellowing).
After the cake has aged, remove the plastic wrap and the cheesecloth. Cut the cake crosswise into 6 rectangular logs. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container until ready to serve.

I have two laptops running 13.04
I've used Ubuntu sync for many years, and generally it seems fine, although I never really paid attention to how quickly the files were synced. Now is the first time I'm depending on it to keep my two laptops in sync as I migrate between home and work, and I need to know that when I turn on my other laptop, the sync from the previous one has finished.
The new laptop seems to download fine; the old one does not seem to be uploading quickly enough.
The symptom is this:
Ubuntu One control panel shows "file sync in progress" for over 12 hours. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting. I get no error messages, but the sync has not finished in 12 hours.
I monitor the status with
u1sdtool --waiting
which usually shows 3-5 files, and they are files I've been working with, so that's normal
u1sdtool --current-transfers
shows nothing happening happening
One thing that might be important: I just recently decided to sync my .mozilla directory, and this is about when I noticed the problem. Could this be related?
Any suggestions?

NOTE: The following is a guest post from Kerry Quinn, author of FUNemployed: Finding the Upside in the Downturn.
I don't believe in economists or the unemployment rate or media stories of all the miserable unemployed. Well, I believe them. I just don't believe in them.
My dogma is to find the silver lining in a bleak situation. So, I'm that (annoying?) person who always focuses on the positive. The economists, unemployment rate and media stories are all pointing out the negative, the dour, the depressing. If you're reading this, you're likely unemployed. Me too. Actually, I call myself FUNemployed.
I was laid off in October 2009 when my ad agency closed its Venice, CA office. I was ashamed, dejected and demoralized. I expected financial ruin and a black mark to appear on my forehead. And then I realized that I was given the gift of opportunity and I needed to stop wasting it.
Over the course of my journey, I've applied to approximately 506 jobs. I've also volunteered with children in hospitals, lost 20 lbs, learned to cook healthfully, set up payment arrangements for all of my credit card debt (and paid 40% of what I was paying before), hustled to get freelance projects, became an eBay seller, learned to surf, took up photography, started a blog called LovingFUNemployment.blogspot.com, and wrote a book to tell you how to be like me and others who've done the same. It's called "FUNemployed: Finding the Upside in the Downturn."
Make no mistake…I don't make light of unemployment. But I am light-hearted about it. I could be a) sad, sitting on the couch carbo-loading thinking about how much life sucks or b) I can be positive and smiling while trying to make my hair-brained schemes work. Either way, I'm unemployed. Given the choice, which would you rather be? And, given the power to hire someone, who would you choose?
Kerry Quinn is a Connecticut native, ex-New Yorker and current Angeleno. Upon graduation from the University of Michigan, she began her career in advertising and has since worked on behalf of Fortune 500 companies at world-renowned advertising agencies in New York and Los Angeles. She began her blog, FUNemployed and Loving It, in 2010. FUNemployed: Finding the Upside in the Downturn was published in May 2011 by Smashwords. It sells for $7.99 at Sony, BN.com, Kobo, iBookstore, BookieJar, Diesel, Smashwords and Amazon.

Court Opinions
CRIMINAL PRACTICE: Miranda Rights; EVIDENCE: Relevance
Alert: Although the officers detained defendant while they executed a search warrant on a motel room, they did not initiate a custodial interrogation by asking him whether he owned a jacket found in the room.
Subject Matter Index: Conviction for cocaine trafficking affirmed; officers who detained defendant while they executed a search warrant on a motel room did not initiate a custodial interrogation that required Miranda warnings by asking him whether he owned a jacket found in the room; court properly allowed a deputy to testify that dealers have users rent motel rooms to rebut or explain the defense's potential argument that the room was not under defendant's control because it was not registered in his name.
Headnote: The Court of Appeals affirmed Reginald M. Cummings' conviction for cocaine trafficking, holding that the officers who detained Cummings while they executed a search warrant on a motel room did not initiate a custodial interrogation that required Miranda warnings by asking him whether he owned a jacket found in the room. Even if the trial court erroneously admitted Cummings' response claiming ownership of the jacket, the error was harmless given the overwhelming evidence of Cummings' guilt. Cummings was found alone in the motel room with 28.5 grams of crack cocaine, including the cocaine found in the jacket. The Court also ruled that the trial court properly allowed a deputy to testify that dealers have users rent motel rooms in order to rebut or explain the defense's potential argument that the room was not under Cummings' control because it was not registered in his name.
Text: Barnes, Anne Elizabeth, Presiding JudgeReginald M. Cummings appeals his conviction for trafficking in cocaine. He contends the trial court erred by admitting in evidence a statement he made, while in police custody but without Miranda warnings, that a jacket was his and also admitting in evidence the testimony of a police investigator concerning the practices of drug dealers. We affirm for the reasons stated below.
Viewed in light most favorable to the verdict, the evidence showed that Cummings was alone in a motel room when sheriff's deputies arrived to execute a warrant to search the room for cocaine. The deputies detained Cummings in the room while they searched. They found 93 pieces of crack cocaine on and in a dresser in the room.
A black jacket was also in the room, and a deputy asked Cummings if it belonged to him. When he said that it did, the deputy searched the jacket and found another piece of crack cocaine. At the time of this questioning, the deputy believed that Cummings was in custody, but testified that he did not give Cummings Miranda warnings because he did not question Cummings and they were not necessary. At trial, Cummings moved in limine to exclude his statement about the jacket, but the trial court denied the motion.
Because the motel room was not registered in Cummings's name, one of the deputies testified, over Cummings's objection, that in his experience it was not unusual for dealers to be found in rooms registered to others. The dealers would have users rent the rooms in their name so that in the event a search warrant was executed at the room, the dealers could say that it was not their room. The total weight of the crack cocaine found in the search was a little over 28.5 grams.
1. Cummings contends the trial court erred by allowing the deputy to testify that Cummings acknowledged ownership of the jacket because his statement was the result of custodial interrogation which was not preceded by Miranda warnings. We disagree.
Not all questioning constitutes interrogation for Miranda purposes. Routine questioning "not related to the investigation of the case nor designed, expected, or likely to elicit information relevant to guilt" does not amount to a custodial interrogation. Shy v. State, 234 Ga. 816, 822 (1) (218 SE2d 599) (1975). Some initial on-the-scene inquiry is permissible before Miranda warnings are given if the questioning is not aimed at establishing a suspect's guilt, but is instead aimed at determining the nature of the situation. Lolley v. State, 259 Ga. 605, 606-607 (2) (b) (385 SE2d 285) (1989). Given the circumstances of the deputy's question to Cummings, we do not find that Miranda warnings were required. Futch v. State, 145 Ga. App. 485, 488-489 (3) (243 SE2d 621) (1978). Accordingly, the trial court did not err by denying Cummings's motion. Further, because of the overwhelming evidence establishing Cummings's guilt, we find it highly probable that even if admitting the statement about the jacket was error, the error did not contribute to the judgment and that the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. McGee v. State, 209 Ga. App. 261, 262 (1) (433 SE2d 374) (1993).
2. Cummings alleges that the trial court erred by allowing the deputy to testify about his experience regarding dealers having users rent hotel rooms because this information was not relevant to the issues in the case. Questions of relevancy are generally matters within the trial court's discretion. Sleeth v. State, 197 Ga. App. 349 (3) (398 SE2d 298) (1990). In this case, we cannot agree that this evidence was not relevant because this was a trafficking case. The testimony rebuts or explains the defense's potential argument that the room was not under Cummings's control because the room was not registered in his name. Moreover,
[t]he Georgia rule favors the admission of any relevant evidence, no matter how slight its probative value. Evidence of doubtful relevancy or competency should be admitted and its weight left to the jurors. Where evidence is offered and objected to, if it is competent for any purpose, it is not erroneous to admit it. (Citation and punctuation omitted.)
Department of Transp. v. Swanson, 191 Ga. App. 752, 754 (382 SE2d 711). Accordingly, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying Cummings's motion in limine.
Judgment affirmed. Blackburn, P.J., and Eldridge, J., concur.
Trial Judge: J. Carlisle Overstreet, Richmond Superior Court.,
Attorneys: James P. Theodocion, Augusta, for appellant. Daniel J. Craig, District Attorney, and Charles R. Sheppard, Assistant District Attorney, Augusta, for appellee.,

When I was 12, I was sent to stay with my great aunt for the summer. I did not want to go. I knew I would be miserable.
She had never been blessed with children, or a husband, but she said she thanked God for that. She would then go on to say, "He knew in my heart I cannot abide them."
Once I asked which she couldn't abide, the husbands or the children. She was a teacher, and I thought the answer would be husbands. I was wrong.
I was also wrong about being miserable at her house. I soon discovered that I loved watching movies with her. During commercials, she would tell me the history behind the movie or answer my questions about the actresses, hairstyles and makeup from the 40s, 50s and 60s.
Marilyn, Audrey, Katherine, Brigitte, and all those glamorous and gorgeous women, with flawless dewy complexions and mesmerizing eyes were not my beauty idols. No, their make-up artists and hair stylists were. I couldn't wait until the movie credits to see who the makeup and hair stylist were.
My aunt thought this was odd. She pointed out that actresses were beautiful women, and I agreed they were naturally beautiful, but pointed out the "makeup" made them even more beautiful.
Naturally, the first man to become one of my beauty idols was also the man that perfected stage makeup, Max Factor. His creation of a "greasepaint" that did not crack or cake coupled his development of "Color Harmony" soon had actresses frequenting his beauty salon in order to look as glamorous off screen as they did on.
He believed that all women could be "made up" to look like a movie star. He employed a set of principles based on color collections of a woman's skin tone, hair and eye color. He also used celebrity endorsements when he started selling "makeup" to the public in the late 1920s.
The next man to make my list is Allan "Whitey" Snyder. He was known for being Marilyn Monroe's personal makeup artist since her screen test in 1946. I think we can all agree Marilyn was a natural beauty, but Whitey used five layers of lipstick to achieve her perfect pout.
One of the hair stylists on my list is Chris McMillan. He is the creator of "The Rachel," Jennifer Anniston's haircut on "Friends." His stylish rendition of the pixie was seen on Michelle Williams at the 2011 Oscars. I love the pixie cut. even though, I think hers turned out better than mine.
These three men have influenced me. I always believed they showcased and enhanced a woman's natural beauty, which is why they are on my list of beauty idols. Who is on yours?

On December 15, 2010, the House passed the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act (H.R. 2965) by a vote of 250-175 and the President signed the bill into law on December 22, 2010.
Watch video highlights of the floor debate:
This discriminatory and harmful policy has weakened America's security by depriving our nation of the service of thousands of gay and lesbian troops who have served their country honorably - and forcing even larger numbers of troops to lie about who they are. The House passed this repeal, as an amendment to the DOD bill, in May 2010 by a vote of 234 to 194, and it is long overdue for the Senate to pass it as well.
As Defense Secretary Robert Gates and others have emphasized, it is critical that Congress pass this legislation, empowering the Defense Department to implement repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' (DADT) itself, rather than have repeal imposed by the courts. If repeal is implemented by DOD, it will be implemented in a much more orderly and thoughtful way.
Poll after poll show that the American people strongly support repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' The latest Washington Post/ABC News poll, released today, finds that, by a 56 percent margin, nearly 8 in 10 Americans say that gays and lesbians who DO publicly disclose their sexual orientation should be allowed to serve in the military (77 percent to 21 percent).
The Department of Defense survey of service members on repeal of DADT, released in November, also had striking results. 70 percent of service members believe that serving beside an openly gay colleague would have positive, mixed or no effect on unit cohesion. And of the troops who believe that they have already worked with a gay service member, an overwhelming 92 percent believe that doing so was a very good, good, or neutral experience.
The DOD survey also concluded that nations including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, Italy, and Israel have integrated openly gay troops "with little or no disruption."
In urging Congress to quickly enact the repeal of DADT, Secretary Gates has emphasized, "Given the present circumstances, those that choose not to act legislatively are rolling the dice that this policy will not be abruptly overturned by the courts."
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen also strongly supports the repeal of DADT. Mullen testified before Congress, "I cannot escape being troubled by the fact that we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens; to me, it comes down to integrity, theirs as individuals and ours as an institution."

Immunodeficiency with hyper IgM type 1
Other Names for this Disease
- Hyper IgM immunodeficiency, x-linked
- Hyper IgM syndrome
- Hyper IgM syndrome 1
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
[1]Hyper IgM syndrome is a type of primary immunodeficiency syndrome. Primary immunodeficiency occurs when part of a person's immune system is missing or does not work correctly. The bodies of people with primary immunodeficiency can't get rid of germs or protect themselves from new germs as well as they should. Primary immunodeficiencies are inherited, meaning they are passed down from parents to children.
Hyper IgM syndromes are characterized by normal or elevated serum immunoglobulin M levels with absence of immunoglobulin G, A, and E. Immunoglobulins are proteins found in the blood. Hyper IgM results in a susceptibility to bacterial infections and sometimes opportunistic infections. There are five different types of hyper IgM syndromes (types 1-5). The types are distinguished by the location of the gene mutation involved.[2]

No solace in 1950s tax fantasy
Of course, 2013 will be fine, because the 1950s sure were. That's the premise for the coming year, especially in regard to the agreement in Washington, D.C., to raise U.S. tax rates on the well-off.
In the 1950s, after all, tax rates were far higher than what the House and Senate have agreed on, a top rate in the high 30 percent range. Back then, they were even higher than what President Obama might have proposed, if left to his own counsel. Republicans in that era went along with the idea that high rates took something away from the rich and thereby stabilized society.
