The Captains Wraps Up His Break For Really-Real This Time
The end is near! Today is the final look back at my break, once again in a convent #Friday5 post.
Top 5 Highlights From The Rest Of My Break
1. Modern Rock 13
I missed discussing the 13th edition of my yearly best of discs! Here are the track listings in case you were curious.
It was a good year for music and a great year for Modern Rock. Every year my distribution list gets longer, and this year it was a downright beast. Between ordering the tracks, burning the discs, printing and cutting the inserts
And stuffing the mailers
I spent probably a good week on sending out my pics this year. No complaints thought, it is truly a labor of love.
2. Club Senn Ugly Sweater Edition
My buddy over at Tales From The Fjord throws an X-mas party every year, but 2013 was something special. The theme was ugly sweaters, and it did not disappoint.
With Senn providing the logistics and Ford providing the crazy guests, it was definitely one to remember. Well done fellas.
3. Meg dominated the Oscar pool this year
Every year Meg and I have a friendly competition with my buddy Grellner on our Oscar pics. Grellner has traditionally dominated this event in the past, but not this year. Meg correctly picked 22 of the 24 categories, good for a 92% success rate. That kind of supremacy is impressive.
Granted, she had some help from me this year since I managed to find a copy of every nominated films online. But still, one hell of a performance. Well done Meg!
4. I picked up trash
I've been really enjoying Creve Coeur Park for the past four years, so much so that I've been wanting to give back to the place that I love. I found a great opportunity to help clean the park by volunteering at the Confluence Trash Bash. Meg, me and a coworker spent a couple of hours on a Saturday morning removing trash from the shoreline of the lake by our house. What I thought would be a fun way to give back was actually a pretty grueling job. Between the three of us we filled 3 trash bags full of mostly glass and plastic bottles. We even found an abandoned trashcan! It was a lot of work, but it was the best kind of work. We plan on making this an annual event in our house.
5. My baby brother turned 18
And finally, my youngest brother became a man. It's hard to believe that my kid brother is 18 now. I was 17½ when he was born, so he is now older than I was on that day back in 1996. And if that isn't making me feel old already, my brother Paul turns 21 in a little over a month. Damn these kids grow up fast.
The Captain
The Captains Keep Returning
The other big thing that I missed during the break was Captain Mike. And I really missed him, as he's been in Afghanistan for the entire time I was gone. But he was gone in the actual sense, as in 9 months in a sandy-hell-pit overseas. Not gone in the too-sad-to-write-my-crappy-blog sense like me. His absence has been a real bummer, but all of his friends and family and done a great job filling in the gap. I tried to help out when I could, but it always felt like too little when compared to such a big absence. I visited his wife Irene and his young daughter a handful of weekends over the break.
And I organized a small toy drive in Captain Mike's behalf back in February. Our friends from college all chipped in to help send him a care package full of fun toys to occupy Mikey's time. Ludlow chipped in with Frisbee and a hacky sack, Morgan with a football, and Timmy with some fart putty. I tossed in a flash drive full of pirated movies as well as a few magazines and a dashboard hula girl I picked up in Hawaii. It was a box full of silliness that I hope put a smile on his face.
And I have to give credit to Captain Mike, as it was his absence that finally got me back to writing. After the New Year I realized that I hadn't written a single thing in over three months. How terrible that a writer like me hadn't sent one single message to my buddy overseas! So I sat down and hand wrote Mikey a note to put in the care package that I was sending. After that I started emailing with him, and eventually it motivated me to start writing here at Captains Quarters.
So now it's time to celebrate, as Mikey's 9 month absence comes to an end tomorrow. The Captain Returns! That's right; it's all Captains on deck starting tomorrow!
So let's all light a cigar and rejoice at the return of a hell of a solider and a hell of a man. Welcome home Captain.

The Captains Reunites The Families
Yesterday I mentioned that my father's whole family came to St. Louis for the wedding of my sister. Today I thought I would elaborate on why that was such a huge deal for me. It's something that I've been thinking about since I was a little kid. Allow me to explain.
Let's see, where should I start? My mother was the second oldest of a large family from here in St. Louis. My father was the second oldest of an even larger family from Philadelphia. When my parents started dating in the mid-1970s both of their families became good friends. They were such good friends that both families would routinely travel to visit each other. Here's a couple of fun #WaybackWednesday pictures that illustrate this friendship.
These pictures were from a trip my mom's family took to Valley Forge for the Bicentennial celebration in 1976. The first is my mother's parents along with my father's mom. The second picture is my mom's brothers along with a couple of my father's brothers and his sister. They hung out quite a bit in the late Seventies and took a bunch of pictures together as one big family. The most famous was the human pyramid they made in my mother's family's front yard.
Both of the families were great friends, so much so that there was even some co-mingling among the siblings. That right, for a brief time my mom's older brother dated my dad's younger sister. And also one of my dad's younger brothers dated my mom's younger sister. Crazy!
What is important to note is that all of this happened in the late 1970s and early 1980s, way before I remember anything. After my parents split in 1982 and I moved back to St. Louis I would never see both families together again. When I would visit my dad's family in Philly during summer breaks his family would all ask about my mother's family back in St Louis. And when I would return from Philly my mother's family all wanted to hear about my time with my dad's family. It wasn't until I was a bit older that I realized how strange it is for all of my family to be friends with each other. I made it through most of grade school thinking it was like this for everyone.
As a kid I dreamed about my father's mother and five siblings coming to visit me in St. Louis. Eventually I realized that getting 6 adults to come visit St. Louis at the same time was not feasible. But I knew that one day they would all come when one of us got married. This was not the case when I got married, as I had everyone fly down to Florida for my beach nuptials. So instead it was my sister's union that brought both families to St. Louis one more time. The gang was all together for the after wedding brunch I mentioned yesterday. And as you can see, we left our mark on the sign!
And that nite I had my dad's whole family over to my place for the evening. It was a real treat for me.
But the real treasure was having my grandmother in town one more time.
My Nana isn't getting around as well as she used to, so her making the trip to St. Louis for the wedding was extra special.
Having both sides of my family together made for an unforgettable week. So a big thanks to my sister for finally getting hitched and making my dream finally come true!
The Captain
The Captains Sister Got Hitched
The other big event from my break was the wedding of my sister. After years of trying to find someone to pawn her off on we finally found the perfect sucker. His name is James and he has made a huge mistake.
I'm joking of course, as James and Cathie are very well matched and very lucky to have found each other. Here's a great picture of the happy couple enjoying some wedding cake.
The wedding was an enjoyably exhausting event that took place over a few days in early October. There was a ton of work involved in throwing the celebration, especially with 2 families traveling from out of state. My dad's entire family flew in from the East Coast, and the groom's whole family flew in from the West Coast. The turnout was actually quite impressive considering the distance traveled by wedding guests. And all of the out of town guests kept me quite busy while trying to help with the hosting duties. But it was totally worth it to have all of my family in town for such a big occasion. Everyone in this picture of my dad's family at the ceremony flew in from out of town expect for my sister and our spouses!
My mom's family also had a great showing for the wedding, even though my mom still can't seem to keep her eyes open for pictures.
I'm kidding! She looked great when I escorted her down the aisle at the ceremony.
Besides hosting my family, I also volunteered to DJ the reception and help out with the family brunch the morning after the ceremony. I like to think I did a good job with the reception, as I managed to get about half the audience to dance at some point. Then again, judging from this picture, I'd say that the open bar had a lot to do with that.
I was also really pleased with the brunch we had the morning after the ceremony. My mother's family and I pitched in to throw a low key party for all of our out of town's guests. It was a lot of fun and made for a picture to remember.
I could honestly go on and on about numerous topics but I will instead stick with my mantra from that week: Don't steal Cathie's thunder. It was her party and I was just glad to be there and help out whenever I could. So I will end today by saying that my sister made a beautiful bride and I wish her all the best in her married life.

The Captain Wraps Up His Break
Well now that I've spent a week writing about both sadness and paradise lets shoot for somewhere in between. I would like to spend one more week talking about the five month break before getting back to my usual nonsense, so I'm unofficially declaring this as wrap up week. Today I wanted to mention a planned change here at Captains Quarters.
I spent a couple of weeks before my return tinkering with some behind the scenes updates on this website. It provided a great opportunity to reconsider what I enjoy about my blog and what I do not. I still enjoy Friday 5 posts, but not always. I still love #WaybackWednesday even though all the kids have moved on to #ThrowbackThursday for some reason. "Wayback" sounds like a fun trip to me, whereas "Throwback" sounds like an overpriced jersey. So yeah, I'm sticking with WW.
The big change I'm making concerns #2ForTuesday and its specifics. A couple of years ago I came up with #2ForTuesday as a way to document the process that goes into making my yearly Modern Rock discs. I spend a lot of time listening to new music and I thought it would be fun to include updates on this progress throughout the year. I also thought it would generate feedback that would help me select tracks for Modern Rock. Well, I was wrong on both accounts. It was not enjoyable on my end, and I received little to no response on the music that I posted. So I've decided to keep #2ForTuesday but not to use it specifically for Modern Rock. Just two random things that I happen to be enjoying at the moment.
Besides these changes to content I also tweaked a couple of small things. I added a new Twitter tracker, a new Flickr badge, and I deleted a couple of unused icon. I have a couple of other small changes in mind as well, as I continue to work at making the homepage to look as clean as possible. Any suggestions are welcome.

Halloween is right around the corner, and the FBI has given us a treat. Director James Comey alerted Congress Friday that the bureau has reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton's private server:
FBI Director James Comey wrote in a letter to top members of Congress Friday that the bureau has "learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation."
Comey did not detail those emails, saying only that they surfaced "in connection with an unrelated case."
He told lawmakers the investigative team briefed him on the information a day earlier, "and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation."
He said the FBI could not yet assess whether the new material is significant and he could not predict how long it will take to complete "this additional work."
Conservative members of Congress of course felt justified in the development:
"The FBI's decision to reopen its investigation into Secretary Clinton reinforces what the House Judiciary Committee has been saying for months: the more we learn about Secretary Clinton's use of a private email server, the clearer it becomes that she and her associates committed wrongdoing and jeopardized national security," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said in a statement.
"Now that the FBI has reopened the matter, it must conduct the investigation with impartiality and thoroughness. The American people deserve no less and no one should be above the law."
The presidential election is just over a week away. Will this new email change anything? Will Comey finally be convinced to pursue the charges that he should have back in July. Only time will tell.

The foam stays where it is applied, without running off surfaces like liquid insecticides do, allowing you to treat the exact areas you want.
Note about treating Termites:
FastOut™ CS Foam cannot be used as a sole source for the control of active structural infestations of subterranean termites and is intended as a support tool to soil residual insecticides, termite bait systems, or other products that are registered and labeled as sole source or stand-alone termite control products. This treatment is intended for localized termite infestations only. The purpose of such applications of FastOut™ CS Foam is to kill workers or winged reproductive forms which may be present in the treated channels at the time of treatment. Such applications are not a substitute for mechanical alteration, soil treatment or foundation treatment but are merely a supplement.
How to Use:
Always read the product label before use.
FastOut CS Foam brings all the advantages of SmartCapTM microencapsulation Technology in a convenient can to reach tough voids. As the foam is applied, it expands,
spreading microcapsules throughout the void, coating insects and all internal
void surfaces for complete coverage and long-lasting control. Equipped
with an extremely versatile label, this product fills a niche that others
don't address. Whether it's a wood destroying insect job or general pest,
commercial kitchen or private residence, this ready-to-use product is good to
have at your side.
1. Shake Well
Shake container for several seconds before each use. This helps to activate
the foaming agents for optimal foam consistency and smooth delivery.
2. Drill Hole (if necessary)
It may be necessary to create access into a void for treatment (such as a wall void). Drill a hole using a 1/8" drill bit for best fit with the injector tip.
3. Apply Treatment
Insert the injector tip tightly into access hole of void and depress actuator. FastOut CS Foam delivers foam at a rate of approximately 1 quart (fully expanded) per 10 seconds.
4. Wait 8 Seconds
After applying the appropriate amount of FastOut CS Foam, release the actuator but continue to hold the injector tip tightly in the access hole. Wait at least 8 seconds while the product within the injector tube fully expands and dispenses into the treatment area.

Fast out worked the first time.
By Mike in NJ on 09/02/2010
Had yellow jackets in my wall. Drilled one little hole and sprayed the foam in. The yellow jackets did not fly off they entered the nest and the product did the work. The other sprays I tried repelled them temporarily and they continued to return to the nest in time.

Works Great
By Damian in Windsor, ON on 09/28/2012
I have a wasp nest inside my outer wall. The wasps are getting in where the upper vinyl siding meets the lower brick. I hung 3 bag traps that catch 10-20/day each but not enough to make a real difference. I tried wasp "foaming" spray, but they just disperse as soon as you spray, then fly back to the crack. I even sprayed it into the cracks and it didn't do anything. It doesn't really foam up like you expect, and it dissolves instantly. I read that wasps do not like the scent of dryer sheets and will abandon the nest - wrong! I stuffed them in the crack and they did exit at first, but soon came back. I also took rat glue traps(glue is nice and thick so they sink into it), taped them back to back to the end of a pole, leaned it against the main entrance and within 5 minutes each was covered in 40 wasps. That does seem to be pretty fast and effective, but still doesn't eliminate them. So after all these attempts I came across this CS Foam and thought I'd try it. I zip tied a metal rod to the plastic tubing so I could jam it 3-4 inches under the siding. It foams up like crazy. Similar to insulation foam, but not as dense and thick. More like a light shaving cream foam. The foam lasts several hours. I stuck it into 3 mortar joints and sprayed 4-5 seconds until it spewed out. The 1st time was later in the evening and most had already returned to the nest, so it didn't do much as by morning when they venture out the foam was gone, although the bag traps had much fewer wasps. The next day I did it earlier when they were still active and soon there were a lot buzzing around trying to get in the cracks. Some landed on the foam and got stuck, but didn't kill them instantly. I used my rat glue board trap on a pole and left it at the main entrance for an hour thinking they will land on it trying to get in. When I came back it had 50 wasps plus a queen. Not sure if it is THE queen or a young queen. Either way I was happily surprised. I'll see tonite if there are more, but I doubt it, as I captured a queen. There is no nasty smell. The only thing is it would be nice if the foam had an attractant that lured them to land on the foam which makes them stuck, otherwise it works great.

FastOut CS Foam - 20 oz Lives Up To Its Name
By in Wooten Lake, WA on 08/24/2013
Verified Purchase
After getting invaded by termites in our summer cabin we needed immediate help. After searching the internet we decided on the FastOut CS Foam - 20 oz pressurized spray bottle. After removing a wall panel and spraying the area and also the area where house electrical wiring comes up through the floor to the service panel. I also drilled 1/8" holes, sprayed and plugged to get at other areas in this small section of our cabin that was infected. Within two days there was no noise of gnawing or signs of sawdust. I then continued with the Dominion 2L Termicide Concentrate treatment by digging a trench, adding four gallons every four feet and then spraying the back-fill and spraying the lower three feet of the walls and foundation sides. After a couple of weeks there is no indication of termite activity. Now we will see how long this control procedure will last. So far so good!
Got Rid of Termites Fast!!
By Willard in Winter Haven, Florida on 03/07/2012
Verified Purchase
I ordered FastOut CS Foam and followed the directions and the termites are gone!! The results are just as good as the company I paid $600.00 to apply their product in the same way. I will order more to do spot treatment when I return to Florida this fall. Thanks again for a product that does as advertised!!

Difficult applicator....
By Harry in Concord, NH on 06/04/2012
The applicator nozzle is too short when using from inside on outside walls that have a vapor barrier. The foam just fills between the backside of the inside wall and vapor barrier. I had to buy 1/8" ID PFE tubing, jam it on over the slightly larger plastic tip on the nozzle and use it as an extender... but not until after wasting one can. The extender still fell off once in a while, making a mess, not to mention the larger hole needed for the extender. It might be a good product if you could get into the necessary area effectively.

QHow effective is Fastout CS Foam in walls with fiberglass insulation?
Is there enough room to expand
AThat all depends on how dense the fiberglass insulation is in your wall void. The foam can only enter space that is available. If they used a dense insulation that is packed in your wall void, then the product will not have much room to expand into. There is no way to really know until you try to foam a void and see how far it goes. If there is no room the product will squirt back out of the hole you are treating through from the pressure.
06/25/2010 Heidi
QI have seed moths and I have birds in the room that is infested. Can I use FastOut on the walls and corners?
Do I have to remove all of the birds to do the treatment?
AYou must remove all animals and people prior to applying FastOut Foam or any other insecticide. People and animals can return as soon as the area that was treated is dry. According to the product label "Make spot, void and/or Crack & Crevice treatment to localized areas including shelves, cupboards and storage areas where food
products suspected of being infested are located. Remove or cover food before treatment. This treatment is supplemental to good housekeeping, since it will have no effect on insects within packaging. Infested food packaging should be destroyed".
08/13/2013 Paul from Gainesville New York
QI have bees in an outside wall where the cable tv wire came through.
I plugged hole and sprayed but they are back and have found another way in. Do you have a gel, foam, or paste that I could put around the entrance to kill them. Thanks
AFastout Foam would be a good choice. FastOut CS Foam is the only microencapsulated, ready-to-use insecticide foam with non-repellent residual activity. Non-repellant means that insects will pass right through the foam or the residual without detecting the insecticide.

Playstation Access Interview with Hannes Seifert (2015)
Interview with Hannes Seiftert in German (2015)
Here is a translated summary of the german interview. There are some sound issues in the video, so I picked the important parts out of the interview:
"The fascination of the Hitman franchise is, that it's the only game where you can live the fantasy to be a professional hitman and where you have the free possibilities to play how you want. Nowadays there are not many games that offer these possibilities, but we do and we try to bring it back better than ever."
"We are fascinated when we look how players play our game on YouTube, Twitch or even on shared videos in the Hitmanforum. It is very inspiring because it is a game which boosts your creativity and that's why we call it a 'creative-stealth-action-game'."
"At every location you can choose your playstyle without any pressure. You can walk around, observe, listen and learn. It isn't a game which pushes you from trigger to trigger."
"The Story of the new game is independent from Absolutions story."
"Diana is back. You get specific informations from her. The informations that you get from her are written down in a log where you can read them again. There is an 'opportunity system' which shows you possibilities. It doesn't say what you have to do but it shows 'Look there is a reporter with her cameraman and they are talking about an interview with the target'."
"We have a savegame again so you are able to experiment free again."
"We don't have a multiplayer where you fight against each other. We don't have the right idea for it."
"We tried something new 2 weeks ago. We had a fan-event with our best and biggest fans which are at once our biggest critics. They saw the Paris level, they played it for hours and we were positively surprised. As a developer you just see the problems and challenges. And than there are people telling you that you kept the promises you made back in 2014, that's something what feels really good."

Hitman - Director Interview with Hakan (2015)
(Video added to the list)
Damnit! So many videos and none of them are people just playing the game Is it even playable at the booth?
Thank you @Morten_IOI i'm going to add it to the main post as well
I expected actual gameplay in that video.
The press is getting way too loose with the term "demo" -_-
New interview,and some new cutscenes
Thank you, it have been added.
Cool Hannes Seifert mentions our little fan event in this video@JohnnyDrama @Silenter @mackdadi @Aubron @ampburner @PaperDuck
Which one of you guys is he quoting?
Well, I praised the saving system to him while eating just next to him. But I don't remember the exact words. The saving system is really great, so it might have been everyone
Awesome! I'm jealous of you guys but happy at the same time. I already had a chance to visit so I can't complain
So...because you said saving system is really great can you say if there is anything new about it,or does it work like it did in Hitman 2,Contracts?
I imagine how you must feel! It was really great. I hope we get the chance to see each other over there again in some occasion. Unfortunately we didn't have the time to have a few bears like in 2012, but let's hope the opportunity comes again for us. It's really cool to hang out with forum members, it's kind of surrealistic meeting the people behind the familiar avatars you see almost every day. I don't think I will ever get tired of that, IO is a fantastic company!
@AGENT_58 It's now really quick to save and load the game, and you have the possibility to save before you take a certain chances in the game (like in the previous games where you could save at any time just before doing your move). I can't highlight enough how important manual saves really was for my experience. It just fits so well for the sandbox type of game Hitman is. When you fuck up you just reload and start again. As I remember there was only 1 save opportunity which you could overwrite all the time. Maybe @Mads47 can confirm this too?
Anyone know what mission/video Hannes is talking about at 7:55min in the last video?
New interview with Hakan
That's a darn shame, you should never be in such a hurry that you don't have the time for a few bears!
Brilliant thread guys! Been crazily busy at work last couple of days and missed nearly all these!
http://www.twitch.tv/twitch E3 steam, Hitman to come up soon. Never mind, i'm getting confermation that it was 3 hours ago.
Fantastic to have all the video's in one place. Makes it so much easier. Thank you for this, Mads47
Should this thread be pinned? I think so...

Singapore is my home, and small as it may be, I don't think I'll ever want to leave it permanently.
Temporarily – I've done that often enough, throwing aside my work and taking occasional holidays. While I love the thrill of exploring new, unfamiliar places, there's something inexplicable about that feeling of coming back home; seeing the twinkling tiny lights of the many high-rise buildings, winking their welcome as your plane coasts in; feeling the familiar blast of warm air washing over you once you step out of the air-conditioned terminal; anticipating my next meal and indulging in my local favourites, whether it be the warm meaty soup goodness of bak ku teh or fragrant tasty chicken rice.
Somewhere inside of me, my heart heaves a sigh of relief at being back home.
Singapore is far from perfect – ask any taxi driver when you get here; Singapore's society is too stifling, our ways too contrived, we're losing what little culture we have too quickly, it's too damn hot… We are number one at a lot of things, and very good at complaining. But you don't love a place because it's perfect, it's usually love in spite of all that, and I can't honestly think of another place as my home.
Home is about finding the place where you fit, and here amidst the frantic pace and race to the peak that Singapore has come to represent, somehow there's a niche that's my own. 28 years of my life, all 28 of them I've lived here. Perhaps there are better me-shaped spaces for me out there in the world, who knows?
But one thing I've learned from my travels is how to appreciate home, for both its perks and flaws. Singapore might be getting more crowded but it remains one of the safest and most stable societies in the world; the weather might veer crazily between hot and wet but we've never had to deal with earthquakes or natural disasters; we might be a small country some people still think is a part of China, but our little red passport is recognized by governments worldwide and gives us unparalleled access.
I am Singaporean, and I'm proud to call it my home.
They say home is where the heart is, wherever in the world that may be. My heart is here in Singapore, with my family and my history and that familiarity, so this is where I'll always call home.
* * *
I originally wrote this as my very first assignment for Matador U's travel writing course (like my Tumpek Landep piece from Bali) – it was very creatively titled '500 words on Singapore' because I can be creative like that. MU is deleting the coursework blog where this was originally posted, and I'm actually quite fond of this very first piece that I spent quite a lot of time on, so I thought I'd share it here for something a little different.
I thought about saving it for National Day or something when there's some truly patriotic pride thrumming in the air, but that's a long time away, so here you go! Head on over to Singapore Shorts for more of my articles on Singapore. I'm gonna revamp that page into a more useful resource one soon so visitors and locals alike can use it to get some ideas on exploring this little home city of mine, so stay tuned to that.
If you notice in the text which I didn't change, it says I'm 28, or well, I was 2 years ago and now I'm just weeks away from the big 3, WOE. I think my sentiment remains mostly unchanged – I'm getting a little more curious about what's out there in the rest of the world, but I can't imagine very much that would make me want to leave here for good.

Fernandez Attracting West Brom Interest?
Monday, 2nd Jan 2017 14:59 by Planet Swans (follow us on Twitter @swansnews)
You can tell the January transfer window is now open as the papers are full of transfer rumours already with today's instalment suggesting that West Brom are looking at Federico Fernandez and a possible £7m move in the window.
Fernandez has never really lived up to the billing he arrived with at Swansea when he joined from Napoli a couple of years back. A club record fee for a defender meant he arrived with big expectations but that has never really been repaid.
Indeed I expect there will be many Swansea fans who would tell you that at £7m they would take him to the West Midlands themselves but the key has to be a replacement within the same window and while £7m feels a good price we need to be able to buy a better replacement within the budgets that are available
It is widely accepted that the Swans will be looking to bring in at least one defender in the transfer window with several names already linked. 44 goals conceded in 19 Premier League games tells you just how badly we need to tighten up at the back.
First and foremost though we need to conclude a deal to get the new manager in with many media outlets confirming today that the Swans are in talk with Paul Clement to take over as manager and we really need him to cast his eye properly over the squad before we think about moving people on. We should also remember that Fernandez may be a better player than we have given him credit for and may just be suffering from a series of poor manager appointment decisions.

Seething about money argument with DH (maternity leave related)(172 Posts)
AIBU? I thought not but he did raise a point about my inability to save money which is making me question myself.
I have a 6 m Ds and have been lucky enough to be on a fairly good maternity package which has paid me three quarters of my salary for the first 7 months. In these months I have enjoyed myself and although dramatic cut backs have been made, I wanted to enjoy myself and have not saved any money for the final 4-5 months. I haven't spent much on clothes ( a few bits from h&m, a couple of pairs of shoes and some nursing bras), 0 holidays and of course no nights out! The money I've spent (after bills) has gone on Ds's stuff, regular coffees with friends, and my downfall, naice food as we both love cooking!
I mentioned to DH last night that soon I'd only be receiving stat pay and would he mind covering my rent for the last few months. This is something we discussed pre-baby. He went off on a rant about my excessive spending and how there seems to be a package delivered to our door daily. He basically told me off for not scrimping and living on the breadline for the duration of mat leave. He never seemed to have a problem with this before I asked him to contribute.
What really hurts is that this time last year he was barely working due to long term illness and I payed all the rent and bills for about 3 months and continued paying the bills till my due date. He is now back on his feet and earning a decent salary (a little less than mine). I assumed that naturally he would want to pay me back during mat leave but it seems he doesn't think so.
(We have always had separate accounts).
Sorry for long post.
Oh and be aware that when you ask him how much a weeks worth of dope will cost him, he will lie. You can double the amount he tells you and probably still be below what he actually spends.
I am a firm believer in shared finances. However, I would be very wary of having a joint account with this man. If you do set one up I would have your salary paid into your own account and only use the joint account for bills to come out of. I wouldn't leave your finances open to miss use.
I think you might find it worthwhile posting in relationships.
Totally agree Cola
You can never never trust an addict with money.
Do NOT get a joint account with him OP. He will then be able to rinse through your baby's money. Joint accounts only work when you know you're not going to get screwed over.
Taking/smoking drugs is bad enough but I cannot abide people who take drugs and make out that they're oh-so-sensible and that they can pace themselves.
Taking drugs is taking drugs. If he was a responsible partner and father he would stop.
As I said before, I would find someone like him utterly repulsive.
And I totally agree with those that say don't get a joint account with him. He'll soon be dipping into it to fund his dirty little habits, and will happily see you and your child go short of money as long as he has what he wants.
I have to agree with previous posters who say that the weed smoking and drinking is not normal or appropriate. And I say that as someone who used to regularly indulge in recreational drugs pre children. I still like a drink now I have children, and whilst I haven't touched drugs I wouldn't be averse to a toke on a spliff at a party if I was childless for the evening, but I haven't and wouldn't seek it out. That's "normal", not drinking and smoking excessively on a daily basis, that is addiction.
Jesus H Christ, I know someone very week who smokes weed daily and has for years, but no more than a little. Her daughter has just got a PhD. She also smokes a bit of weed, but less than her mother.
Fucks sake people. Having a go at OP because her DP smokes weed? I don't see a weak spliff as any different from 'I'll have no more than a G&T'.
Having said all that, I wouldn't trust him as far as I could fling him OP. If he could genuinely stick to a weak spliff and no alcohol, wouldn't he do it more often to help you? If he can do it when he must that means he's not a hopeless addict, but if he can, but can't choose to do it to help you, you surely have to ask how much he values you? It would really help you if he calmed it, but he won't if you're there to pick up the slack. That's not how you treat someone you love.
The OP has a very young baby to look after, not a PhD graduate, with a DH whose weed and alcohol habit is such that it impacts on what he is capable of doing after 6pm everyday, even though they both work shifts and he will be required to be in sole charge of the young baby. This is a DH who already begrudges the money that his young family needs, all the while happily blowing money on his own 'pleasures'.
Vodka I think it would be sensible to not financially link yourself to your DH more than you already are. I hope things work out for you but, just in case, making yourself more financially independent might be wise.
Hi OP
We have 1 joint acc which is savings.
But we separate the bills. Dh pay some of the bills and I pay others. He pays more because he works FT and earns more. I work PT due to choice and pay less. When I was not working DH was responsible for all the bills.
I have full access to Dh's acc and he has access to mine too, through internet banking.
Dh has similar 'hobbies' although less quantities. But when he is sole carer he does not smoke, drinks 1 can or 2 maximun and goes to bed when dd goes.
I am sorry but smoking weed is not a hobby. Cycling is a hobby, stamp collecting is a hobby. Setting's fire to drugs and inhaling them like a teenage pothead when you have a baby to look after is a joke.
You supported him while he was ill and now he's spit his dummy out over the fact he'll have to cover the other half of the rent. Lucky you.
Do not get a joint account with this person. The thought of leaving my precious child with someone who is under the influence of drugs is unthinkable. I think you're brainwashed unfortunately I hope you get the help you need.
yeah we all know someone who <insert dodgy pastime here> and turned out just fine. but I know someone who smoked weed everyday and whose mental health was affected by it.
We have a drugs and alcohol policy at work which includes random testing. I had to sack someone last month because they failed the random test due to cannabis use.
Yes, there's a colossal difference between studying or raising an older child whilst using a lot of drugs and alcohol, and combining full time work with substantial periods of being the only carer for a child. The idea that this is just about people's puritanical disapproval of weed is pretty fucking tedious: plenty of posters had equivocated drug and alcohol use before you did purplesprout. No doubt all of us who've been students know people who spent much of their course wasted and still done very well. It's certainly possible to combine even real dependency on drugs and/or alcohol and still do very well, temporarily at least. However, here we have someone with impaired function after 6pm every evening, which suggests either he's starting even earlier, it affects him very quickly or both. He has significant health problems, and while cannabis use may be beneficial to people with his condition, drinking way over the recommended limits won't be. So that's another worry. His habits must be costing them at least £250 a month (if my calculations upthread are correct) at a time when money is tight, and he reacts with anger at the idea he might cut down on his inessential spending. And he's going to be spending long periods as the primary carer for a helpless baby, something that it doesn't sound like he has any experience of yet. All these things make his situation different the high functioning friends you describe.
OP I agree that some of the comments have been a bit extreme, but you do have a very real problem. Seriously, do you know what he's actually going to do when he's doing the childcare alone? Because it sounds like at the moment, he's spending most of his non-work and non-sleep time under the influence. I'm guessing you do the night wake ups? How is this going to fit with your shifts- will you actually be there overnight or is that when you'll work? I agree that some counselling might be helpful too but I think the practicalities need sorting too!
purplesprout no doubt your friends daughter smokes weed because she's had to grow up watching her mother smoke it daily.. Surely the chain has to be broken somewhere? Otherwise smoking illegal substances will just become the norm and socially acceptable - I for one do not want my ds growing up thinking its acceptable!
Statistics also show that most coke/heroine/crack/mcap addicts start off on canabis - it's a catalyst drug!
How you can compare it to a g&t is laughable, a g&t is not illegally, a g&t dealer won't come knocking at your door threatening you for unpaid debts, a g&t won't lead you on to class a drugs and a g&t won't get you banged up!
If cannabis was a substance that was snorted or injected instead of smoked would you still see it as 'just a bit of weed'
#Don't know where catalyst came from I meant gateway.
I don't dispute that Chunderella. I just think the focus on 'OMG drugs!' in some posts and having a go at the OP for his drug / alcohol problem is also tedious.
OP your DH has a substance abuse problem and if not physically is almost certainly psychologically dependent on using weed and beer to unwind. I very much doubt his assertion that he will immediately moderate this enough to be a responsible carer. Even if he fully intends to, he'll probably fail, or will justify 'just a wee spliff / beer'.
I very much doubt he'll stop prioritising spending on it unless he breaks the daily habit completely, not tries to cut down (because it'll just escalate again). He will also use any excuse he can (e.g. you treating yourself) to divert cash to his habit, despite the fact your treats don't impair your ability to care for your child.
I don't think posters are necessarily having a go at the op for her dp's drug addiction, I think they are more alarmed she's allowing it around their dc's. And her main concern was the financial issue and the cannabis use was just dropped in - when surely it should be the main focus?
BettyBoo I think the drug and alcohol abuse / dependence should be the main focus, as I said upthread. The financial issues won't get sorted otherwise and may well get worse if his use escalates.
But based on your post upthread about catalysts and
wtaf is mcap, I would say we're at opposite ends of the spectrum in the drugs debate & don't want to derail the thread further.
You can smoke what you want, just don't claim you are in a fit state to care for a baby at the same time.
I agree that she needs to address his substance abuse before she tackles the financial issue, indeed I imagine her/their financial situation would greatly improved if he kicked his habit.
What I am saying about cannabis is that it is becoming more and more socially acceptable and I think this is wrong. Using words/phrases such as 'just weed' or 'a smoke' is undermining the fact this is an 'illegal substance' (mcap is a drug)
I'm not generalising but it is proven a high percentage of cannabis users do use another or have used another illegal substance and also have a higher chance of committing criminal offences.
We all may know friends/family that have used this drug before but I think we forget the dealer that's behind these people we know, I for one have never met a 'nice' drug dealer.
Tbh guys I think we are wasting our breath. The OP made it clear that she didnt want to hear what we are saying about his drug and alcohol abuse, and have probably left the thread.
Sadly, that means her baby will suffer

Zanesville-Muskingum County Health Department Epidemiologist Kristen Baker says Pertussis, which is commonly known as the Whooping Cough, has a trend of increasing every 3 to 5 years. Baker says in 2012, there were nine confirmed or suspect cases of the disease and so far this year, she says that number has doubled. The highly contagious disease can start out as a cold or cough and is spread through close contact.
Baker explained, "Close contact is defined through the Infectious Disease Control Manual as three or more hours of two feet closeness which puts our grade school children that sit in the same classrooms, by the same people at the highest risk for contracting the disease."
While rare, Baker says the disease can be fatal in children, especially those under the age of 1.
"They should be vaccinated by the time they go into kindergarten and then they should receive an additional booster at 11 years of age. We also recommend that pregnant women get vaccinated between 27 and 36 weeks of gestation and anybody that is going to have close contact with an infant."
That would include baby-sitters, daycare workers, parents and anyone else that is constantly around infants. You can find a list of immunization guidelines by calling the ZMCHD at 740-454-9741.

A growing amount of research suggests that just standing -- even if you don't walk around -- can have health benefits.
A recent study found that participants who spent time more standing and moving in the course of a week, based on a sensitive monitor adhered to their thigh, had lower levels of blood sugar and cholesterol. The benefits were even greater, and including reductions in body-mass index and waist circumference, among those who took more steps during the day.
First, try to notice your "sitting time" at work over a few days or a week. That can make you more aware of when and where you're sitting too long without getting up. Then try any of the ideas here, and take a stand!

Just a quick heads-up for you - Mission:Explore Food, described as a radical activity cookbook for families, is FREE to download over the Christmas period until Blue Monday on January 21st.
All six chapters and 159 illustrated mission activities are included for free. Help your children to learn about and rethink their relationships with food by reading chapters on growing, harvesting, cooking, eating, waste and soil.
To download a copy :
- iBook http://bit.ly/12BNoiX
- Kindle http://amzn.to/VRHK6n
for more information about the book, I've included the press release below :
Mission:Explore Food is billed as one of the most controversial and yet important cookbooks ever written for children and families.
Mission:Explore Food is an activity cookbook that challenges children to go cannibal, cook in acid, make chocolate poos (including nuts and sweetcorn), ask the Queen for a swan and work out the best way to slaughter a lamb. Mission:Explore Food has been created to tantalise children's taste for adventure and tests their understanding not only of where their food is from, but also of where it goes once they've finished eating.
"A children's book that asks them to question if the pig they are eating has ever seen the light of day, make scary soup and keep a poo diary might sound controversial, but it's vitally important that children think about their relationship with food and have fun while doing it. We all appreciate that children should know how to cook and eat well, but these are just two chapters in the story of our food. Unlike most children's cookbooks that ignore the rest of the food cycle, Mission:Explore Food includes activities that encourage children to learn about growing, harvesting, waste and soil as well. An essential ingredient is appreciating that their/our choices effect people and places around the world too." explains Daniel Raven-Ellison, one of the authors.
There are loads of recipes and activities to try in and outside the kitchen developed not by famous chefs and cooks, but guerrilla geographers who are on a mission to encourage children to explore their local area, forage for food and play outdoors. Humorously and provocatively illustrated by the award-winning artist Tom Morgan-Jones, each page includes a quirky mission to complete. Children who complete missions from the book can visit the Mission:Explore website (www.missionexplore.net) to be rewarded with points and badges for their efforts.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Matt Besler loves his hometown and says he still dreams of playing his entire career here. But after his standout World Cup turn with the US national team, Sporting Kansas City's star center back also knows that he's become a hot commodity.
"I think that I've made it very clear how happy that I am in Kansas City, how grateful I am to play here," Besler said Sunday, during a news conference – which also included Sporting and Nats teammate Graham Zusi – before Sporting's home match against Chicago (3 pm ET, ESPN). "That hasn't changed at all. At the same time, in the position that I'm in right now, you may only get these kinds of opportunities once in your lifetime.
"I feel the need to at least look into potential opportunities and make a decision from there," he went on. "So I'll be talking with Peter [Vermes, Sporting's manager] and Robb [Heineman, club president], and some of the other owners, potentially – talking with them very, very shortly and going from there."
Even so, he said, it could be some time before the details of any move – or his retention by the only professional club he's ever played for – are worked out.
"It's not something that you just go and decide," he said. "It's a process, and there's a lot of moving parts. There's a lot of thought that goes into it."
Besler, who turned down interest from several European clubs to re-sign with Sporting after the 2012 season, also stressed that he's not the one who will make the final call on whether he stays or goes.
"It's not a decision for me," he said. "I'm under contract right now with Sporting. So ultimately, it's up to them. They have the right to sell me if they want. They have the right to keep me if they want. Hopefully, we both have enough respect for each other that we work together."
- Get the latest Sporting headlines from SportingKC.com
And while he's exploring possibilities – as he did in 2012 before re-upping – Besler reiterated his affection for his hometown late in the news conference.
"It's a dream of mine to play here, and it would be a dream of mine to play my entire career here," he said. "And so that's one of my dreams. But you can have other dreams as well. Maybe one of my other dreams could be to play in Europe. If that's one of my dreams, that's something I have to think about."

My Nonprofit Reviews

Review for Girls With Wings, Inc., Lakewood, OH, USA
When I first came upon GWW, I was searching for aviation programs for women and girls. I was looking specifically for classes or academies or summer camps for girls who are interested in aviation and found the site that Lynda Meeks founded.
My 12 year old daughter is very serious about becoming a pilot and wanting a career in aviation. She currently flies a Robinson R22 and is working toward her helicopter pilot certification.
I was thrilled to find this organization that promotes the aviation interests for girls and women. I am heavily involved as an engineering mentor for several local FIRST Robotics teams at the middle and high school levels and am passionate about recruiting girls to get more of them interested and excited about STEM careers (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Girls With Wings definitely fits the model of inspiration toward this end. Kudos to Lynda Meeks for donating her time and energy for such a worthy cause.

Diversified Reorganizes AEC-ST Tech Conferences
Portland, Maine – The AEC-ST conference brand is being relaunched with two events in Washington DC and Anaheim under a partnership between AEC Science & Technology and Diversified Communications.
The two overhauled conferences, which include an exhibit area, debut next year with the AEC-ST brand acting as an umbrella organizer for a collection of smaller niche conferences in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) technology sector.
"By merging our own content with AEC-ST's, the attendees and exhibitors will have exposure to even more solutions for making our 'built' world a better place, including sustainable design, green building and environmentally friendly construction," said Diversified Group Vice President Bob Callahan.
The "conferences-within-a-conference" lineup includes:
- The National BIM Conference
- The National High-Performance Building Conference
- BIM in the Academy
- The National Specifiers Conference.
A course syllabus would enable attendees to map out a personalized educational track from the offerings at each conference.
The AEC-ST brand was first launched in 1980. The AEC-ST concept debuted in 2005 and has included events in Orlando, Toronto and Manila as well as Washington and Anaheim over the years. "Through their years of service to the design and construction community, AEC has innovated and nurtured tech-minded AEC professional development for more than 35 years. It makes sense for us to work together and combine resources," Callahan said. "We are looking forward to adding their content to our future events as we continue to grow and expand our industry mission."
George Borkovich, Founder and Principal of AEC-ST, called the partnership with Diversified an "evolutionary step" in remaining relevant in a rapidly evolving industry sector. "I am excited for the opportunity to continue to provide top-notch conference programming for AEC information exchange, and a commercial marketplace for high-tech building products, services and solutions."

There are myriad stereotypes in the zeitgeist about millennials -- those between 18 and 34 -- and their attitudes toward real estate. Some believe they don't want to purchase homes or don't want homeownership badly enough to make the sacrifices necessary to save up the funds. While others may realize that these beliefs aren't quite right, the extent to which they're wrong may be surprising. Real estate behemoth Zillow Group challenges those stereotypes in its first annual report on consumer housing trends, which the company says is the largest-ever survey of U.S. homebuyers, homesellers, owners and renters. How do millennials feel about agents? The 167-page report also shed light on this question. Screen shot from Zillow Group's Consumer Housing Trends report Seventy-five percent of buyers hire a real estate agent during the buying process, according to the report. Though the majority of millennial buyers use an agent, they are the least likely to do so among the gen...
- Zillow Group has released the results of a 160-question survey of more than 13,000 homebuyers, homesellers, homeowners and renters.
- The company found that people under age 36 make up half of all buyers.
- While 75 percent of buyers overall choose to use an agent, millennials are the least likely to do so.

Adding Old hard drives to new computer
I just bought a new computer with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit . I added 2 hard drives from my old computer to the new one. The old computer was Windows XP 32 bit with a Raid 1 configuration. I just want the added hard drives as storage and non raid. The installation went smoothly but the new computer recognizes the 2 added hard drives as one drive. Also when I boot up, the boot screen from the old computer shows briefly with the intel raid 1 info. The question is if I format the old hard drives will they show up as two seperate drives and will the raid 1 info go away. Kind of confused on what to do - Thanks for the help, John
|My System Specs
|30 Mar 2012
A format will restore the drives to non-raided drives.
You can also go into the BIOS and select RAID and delete the RAID 1 setup on the drives.
The simplest way is to just format them.
|My System Specs
|31 Mar 2012
Thanks for the info. I formatted the hard drive(s), did a clean in the dispart command facility and still have a problem with only one disk showing up. Under the volume details on the disk, it states Intel Raid 1 Volume SCSI Disk device. When I disable this program, the disk or disks do not show up. In the bios facility, my main hard disk plus the 2 added disks are listed. In the configuration window they are all listed as "Raid". Should I change the option to "AHCI"? I am totally lost with this. All I want to do is get rid of this raid crap and have two additional storage disks. Thanks, John
|My System Specs
|31 Mar 2012
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
AHCI is the driver for the raid set up...you need to change it to sata in the bios for all your drives.
Once you change that in the BIOS, then reformat both drives again...then check in disk management and see if they show up correctly.
|My System Specs
|31 Mar 2012
Yes, In the BIOS select AHCI. Reboot.
You may have to initialize the drive in Disk Management.

Developing with Microchip PIC for Mac
For the past six months or so, I've been learning the ins and outs of the PIC. It's a small microprocessor that runs at 4 MIPS. One of the setbacks I've had to deal with is the lack of development tools for Mac OS X.
There are many packages for PC, some of them free, many of them commercial. The commercial variety can cost anywhere from $100 – $5000 dollars, depending on how gullible you are. I used the free and trial versions of MPLAB, the IDE that Microchip distributes, in conjunction with HiTech's PICC Lite.
I began by installing the software that came with my PicKit into Virtual PC and working with the IDE there. As anyone who has actually tried using Virtual PC for any serious work will tell you, it's very frustrating. I had to jump through a bunch of hoops and set up a few hacks to let me even compile what I needed. Then I would transfer the binary to Mac OS X and use usb_pickit to get the binary into the hardware. It was a slow, tedious process but it worked — which is important.
The second thing I tried was assembly. GNUPic has a package that contains an assembler, disassembler, profiler, and an interesting high-level language called gpal. Unfortunately, various parts of this collection only work with certain PIC models. I learned the asm codes from the datasheet (it wasn't too hard) and proceeded to write code. I soon learned that complex math should not be attempted in asm. Flow-control was easy enough but beyond simple addition and subtraction, anything like sin(1.5) / 5.3 + 9^3 is heavily obfuscated. Yet this too worked.
GPAL, it seems, is not ready for prime-time. There is very little example code and sparse documentation. If I have some time though, I'll plow on and see if I can figure things out and perhaps build a repository of code that others can use.
The things that didn't work? Take a look. Half of these links are dead or broken and the other half lead to incomplete projects. SDCC looks to be the most promising. This isn't saying much, and I only think that it's being updated semi-regularly.
Lessons learned? Try Atmel and AVR-GCC. Also, some serious thought should be given to the idea that ANSI C probably isn't the best language from which to compile code for a MCU that can't do recursion or even floating-point arithmetic.
I am partial to Motorola HC11 and HC12, I use boards from Technological Arts ( www.technologicalarts.com ) such as the NanoCore12, pretty affordable. I have scripts that can build the GCC toolchain on OSX [see note], I use these to write HC12 progs in C, works for me. A serial BDM is recommended suuch as the MicroBDM12-SX on the TechArts site.
Note: gdb isn't building but I haven't pursued it, I just use 'gcc' 'ld' 'make' and binutils, and do downloads with ZTerm.
Email me if you are interested in the GCC/HC12 connection.
Güran Stigler wrote in to mention the following:
A PIC ASM IDE: http://www.macrobotics.com/MacrocASM/MacrocASM.html
(I tried this out and didn't care much for the way it worked. Granted I didn't spend a lot of time with it, but gpasm seemed to do a better job.)
A Mac editor for Basic Stamp: http://www.muratnkonar.com/otherstuff/macbs2/
Someone has posted an AVR ISP Programmer on AVRfreaks that has a USB interface. He built it so he could use it on his Mac ! He has the postscript files for the PCB layout available for download too.
Also, here is a beginner's tutorial to learn assembly on the AVR.
Very interesting, I also would like tools on the Mac so I could do embedded work on the box. I do this for a living (test equipment for telecom) and would like to work using my favorite OS instead of Windows. The next problems you will hit after you find a tool to build the code (as you did with AVR-GCC and GNUPic) are (1) programming the part and (2) debugging the code.Almost all the tools for small processor programming/debugging assume a parallel port connection or some funky use of hardware serial ports. There a very few USB or ETHERNET devices out there but they are VERY expensive (why I don't know). My hope is that as Window's laptops leave the legacy ports behind that manufacturers will finally build USB hardware for embedded work and then the Mac can compete on equal footing. Also as the Linux folk use these tools we can benefit also.
