Subscribe to Martha Stewart LivingIngredients
To Assemble
- 4 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1/4 cup dark-brown sugar
- 3/4 cup superfine sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
- Dark-Chocolate Cream
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
- Milk-Chocolate Curls, for garnish
Step 1
Make the meringue: Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Draw an 8-inch circle on parchment, then flip. Mix whites, sugars, and salt in a mixer bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk constantly until sugars dissolve and mixture is warm, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and whisk on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 8 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
Step 2
Sift cocoa powder over meringue, and fold until barely any streaks remain. Using an offset spatula or a large spoon, spread meringue into a round, using circle as a guide. (Be careful not to spread out too much; meringue will spread more during baking.) Form a well in center, being careful not to spread meringue too thin.
Step 3
Bake meringue until dry to the touch, about 1 hour. Let cool on sheet on wire rack. Meringue will keep, covered, for up to 1 day.
Step 4
To assemble pavlova: Spread dark-chocolate cream evenly in center of meringue, leaving a 1/2-inch border from edge. Spread whipped cream over chocolate cream. Garnish with chocolate curls, and serve immediately.

Wow good!

I made this for my book club's Christmas meeting and everyone devoured it! I wasn't sure how it would be, and it was my first time making merengue or pavlova, but it was awesome and I will definitely be making it again! I wouldn't attempt it without a kitchenaid mixer, it made my work so easy! The only tricky part was spreading the merengue into the circle, the parchment kept pulling up. Also, I just made a simple chocolate ganache for the chocolate topping.

Russia Invites G20 Leaders to St. Petersburg Summit

NOVO-OGARYOVO, February 20 (RIA Novosti) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday issued an official invitation to the G20 heads of state and government to participate in the St. Petersburg Summit, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.
The G20 Leaders' Summit is due to take place in the fall.
Invitations have also been issued to the so-called outreach countries: Spain, Ethiopia, Senegal, Kazakhstan, Brunei-Darussalam and Singapore, as well as the UN, the World Bank, the IMF, the OEC, the WTO and the ILO.
Russia took over the presidency of the Group of Twenty (G20) of the world's largest economies in December 2012. The Russian government allocated $1 million from the federal budget for G20 summit-related events.
The first meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank heads this year took place in Moscow on February 15 and 16.
The G20 began inviting non-member countries to its summits since the first summit in 2008. Only Spain, which is a "permanently invited" country, participated in all summits to date.
At the Seoul summit in 2010, G20 leaders agreed on a set of principles for non-member invitations to summits, including that no more than five non-member countries will be invited, of which at least two will be African countries.

History of the Killingworth Library
At a meeting in January 1964, a group of about 20 residents voted to start an adult library in a space in the Killingworth Elementary School loaned by the Board of Education. It was to be an organization separate from the school library with its own by-laws, policies, and fund raising projects.
Volunteers built shelves and processed about 1,000 books donated by neighboring libraries and town residents. The school library loaned $25.00 and on opening night, April 16,1964, the hat was passed collecting about $100.
Volunteers, taught library procedure by the school librarian, ran the library. More shelves, more books, more "open" hours and a story hour for young children were added during the next year.
In September 1965, the library moved into 2 upstairs rooms and hall of the newly purchased Town office building. Shelves were built only around the perimeter as the structure would not hold the weight of the books in the middle of the rooms. The collection now contained about 2,600 books.
In January 1968 the library was incorporated, a private corporation offering free library service to the town. On that basis it was formally recognized by the Town of Killingworth and the state of Connecticut. In 1969, the library received $600 from the town. Fund raising projects, such as a very successful annual antiques show, publication of The Birds of Killingworth, and two cookbooks added to the treasury.
In September 1972 the growing Library moved to the building at the Killingworth circle that had at one time housed the Killingworth Fire Department and had been the Central District School previous to that. Extensive renovations were made. Volunteers from organizations in town helped put the books in labeled boxes, move them out second floor windows to the town's pay-loader, or down the steep stairs to waiting trucks. Metal shelving donated by the Madison Library were installed. The Lion's Club donated a desk and additional bookcases were built.
As the Library continued to grow, more volunteers were trained and a part-time librarian was hired. In the 1980's, due to the growth of the Library and the dangerous location on the busy circle, a building committee was formed which looked into possibilities of relocating to larger, safer quarters. In 1986 plans for an addition to the existing little building with the exit placed farther down Rt. 81 were drawn, but it did not receive sufficient backing.
In 1992, the town decided to buy the vacant, former CBT bank building on Rt. 81. The Killingworth Library Assn. contributed $35,000. towards the purchase.
Over several months the Building Committee members visited many libraries around the state that had recently been built or had new additions, to gather information. Nine architectural firms submitted tentative plans of their ideas for the addition to the former bank. Tunney Associates of Killingworth was finally chosen for presenting the most reasonable and appropriate ideas.
Volunteers solicited pledges from Killingworth residents who recognized the need for this facility. The Library Board applied for and received a grant of $350,000 from the State and the Town of Killingworth voted to contribute $200,000.
Groundbreaking took place on November 1994 and construction began. The doors to the new library opened December 1, 1995 while finishing details were being completed. The formal dedication of the Killingworth Library took place April 14, 1996 almost exactly 32 years after the Library originally opened. Many state dignitaries as well as local supporters attended the ribbon cutting ceremonies.

How do we root it?
Sent from my original DROID RAZR MAXX using Droid Forums
Sweet. I need more information prior to rooting. Not sure what does work if you root vs what doesn't work if you root. I will keep my eyes peeled on this thread.
Is there a thread somewhere that explains what rooting is and its benefits and disadvantages?
I might wait for mattlgroff to release a tool to update his DroidRazr Utility.
The instructions on the thread the OP posted aren't totally clear. I get lost on freezing Smart Actions. I haven't started the process yet and will wait a couple days before doing so.
Smart actions has to run. He's saying don't freeze it and if its frozen un freeze. Having root. Plus titanium gives you the option to freeze apps.
This method is almost as easy as using Matt's utility. The only extra step seems to be going into smart actions and checking the battery saver option and saving after the first reboot. I tried this lastnight and failed the first 3-4 times. I did and FDR and everything worked perfectly so keep that in mind if you decide to do this.
My BIGGEST reason for rooting would be.......FREE WIFI TETHER! . Of course there are custom Roms you could flash as well which I have flashed quite a few before but found none actually worked out for me. A lot of them have stuff to in theory give you some awesome battery life but in the end IMO the stock Rom gives me the best.
I'm looking into doing this right now but it seems that there are too many questions. I have one, and that is I don't know how to check to see if I'm in mass storage mode or not. I'll wait on the process. I'm a bit noobish when it comes to Android.

First Peep At Nickelodeon's New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
So apparently ♫ Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nickelodeon ♫ is rolling out a new TMNT cartoon next year and this is the first look of the re-imagined turtles. As you can see, they have some of the stupidest-looking anime eyes I've ever seen. And that's saying a lot, because one time in middle school I cut my eye with the cover of a comic (I read dangerous as shit!) and had to wear an eyepatch that a friend convinced me to let him draw an anime eyeball on. Only thing is, I never actually bothered checking his handiwork and he opted for a ballsack instead. Talk about a terrible lookin' eye! The kids on the playground would yell Captain Teabag and threw rocks at me!

Many agencies miss classification compliance deadline

William Cira is the acting director of ISOO.
The ISOO recently released its Annual Report to the President. In it, it discusses the status of Executive Order 13526, "Classified National Security Information."
While progress has been made in the initial implementation of the EO, the report says ISOO is concerned "about delays in the issuance of agency regulations implementing the Order. Despite the preparation of agency drafts and the completion of our review last Fall, many agencies failed to issue their regulations in final form by December 2010 and many have yet to issue them as of the date of this letter."
Cira discussed the report with Federal News Radio.

Diaper Bag Dailies Makes Diaper Duty Easy for Parents
Monday, August 6th, 2012
Diapering your newborn can be a daunting, stressful task. New parents may be completely clueless on how to change a diaper, what to expect inside of the diaper after a few hours of wear, and how to pack a diaper bag for on-the-go use.
Luckily, Weston, Conn. mom Jennifer Roh recently launched Diaper Bag Dailies to help make diapering duty as seamless as possible for all parents.
Roh drew from her own experience with children–she has two young boys ages 3 and 15 months–to design pre-packaged themed diaper kits filled with daily diaper bag essentials like diapers (of course), hand sanitizer wipes, and diaper cream. All kits are also accompanied with reusable inserts such as baby bodysuits, pacifiers, and nail files.
The eight themes on sale include: crib sheets, sick kid, airplane, sun & swim, green & organic, potty training, and snack. The kits retail between $26 and $32 and include special items appropriate to each theme. The sick kid kit includes extra diapers, the airplane kit throws in a ready-made formula in a 2 oz. bottle (TSA-approved!), while the sun & swim kit includes swim diapers and sunscreen. An additional twins kit retails for $40 and includes double the basic items.
Parents can select their preferred diaper brand (Huggies or Pampers), formula brand if it applies to the kit (Enfamil Premium or Similac Advance), and diaper size. Diaper Bag Dailies provides alleviation to the stress associated with diaper duty that can be well worth the price. And if you really love it, a subscription to Diaper Bag Dailies ensures automatic refills–so that you'll never have to worry about last-minute diaper purchases again.

Editor's note – Jan. 6, 2011 – This article was updated to correct the current number of Xbox LIVE members to 30 million.
LAS VEGAS – Jan. 6, 2011 – The sales figures released at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show made it official: Kinect has connected with consumers.
Over the past two months consumers have snatched up Kinect almost as quickly as retailers have stocked the shelves, according to sales figures Microsoft reported Wednesday at 2011 CES. Since its release on Nov. 4, more than eight million Kinect sensors have been sold. That figure easily outdistances the five million unit forecast the company had predicted to sell during the sensor's first 60 days.
The wild ride to close out 2010 capped the "biggest year ever" for Xbox, said David Dennis, group public relations manager for Xbox. Over the holiday season, console sales for the Xbox 360 hit 50 million. It also was the No. 1-selling console in North America over the past six months. Meanwhile, the Xbox LIVE community continued to grow strongly overall in 2010, adding a new member every two seconds. Xbox LIVE now has more than 30 million active members.
Dennis said the announcements made at CES, including new Kinect-enabled entertainment experiences and new Xbox LIVE gaming titles, signal that the momentum behind Xbox should continue through 2011.
"It used to be you would go buy this piece of plastic and put it under your TV, and five years later it's the exact same thing that you bought at the store," he said. "I think Microsoft has shown the ability to innovate and bring new experiences like Kinect as well as Netflix, Hulu, and ESPN, all leveraging Xbox LIVE, to continue to reinvent what you think of as the Xbox. You turn it on, and we continue to update it, keep it fresh, and bring new features."
Kinect Transforms Entertainment in the Living Room
Kinect is a prime example of how natural user interface (NUI) is transforming gaming by making it more social and approachable than anyone ever thought was possible, but it's just the beginning, Dennis said. Several CES announcements showed how Microsoft will take Kinect's controller-free experience beyond gaming and into entertainment throughout the year. This spring, for example, Xbox LIVE Gold subscribers will be able to use Kinect to control Netflix on Xbox LIVE. Viewers will be able to pause, rewind, and fast-forward streaming movies with only their voice or gestures.
The company also announced that Hulu Plus will be coming to Xbox LIVE as a Kinect-enabled experience this spring. As with Netflix, subscribers will be able to use controller-free motion and voice capabilities to instantly watch full-screen popular TV shows anytime in HD.
Also at CES, the Xbox team introduced a new social experience called Avatar Kinect that will use Kinect's camera and sensor to bring a player's avatar to life. It leverages Kinect's facial recognition technology to let a person control their avatar's movements and expressions; when they smile, frown, nod and speak, the avatar will do the same, Dennis said.
With Avatar Kinect, a player can invite up to seven friends to join them in one of 15 imaginative virtual environments. One of those worlds is a performance stage, where friends can record their performance and share with friends.
New Gaming Experiences Span Platforms
Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business (IEB) team's focus at CES wasn't limited to Kinect. It also highlighted its ongoing efforts at developing a strong portfolio of games across all its platforms, including the PC and Windows Phone 7.
"Windows is far and away the largest gaming platform in the world, so it's an incredibly important part of Microsoft's business," said Letty Cherry, a senior group public relations manager with IEB. "Whether core games like 'Age of Empires Online' and 'Fable III,' or casual and social titles like we recently debuted on the new MSN Games, more gaming happens on Windows than anywhere else."
At CES, Microsoft showed off Ages of Empires Online and Fable III, which had previously been announced. When the company started work to continue the two franchises, it looked at how people are playing games today – namely the social and connected experiences players increasingly crave, Cherry said.
"We want to play with our friends, not just against them, to make the community a built-in part of the experience," she said. "It's about being able to connect to the entertainment we want, and sharing it with the people we care about." With an unprecedented co-op experience in "Fable III" and an ever-changing online world in "Age of Empires Online," both of these titles deliver a rich, social games experience with the LIVE service at the center, she said.
Since the release of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft has been bringing the Xbox LIVE service to a mobile phone. Now players can earn Achievements and stay in touch with the 30 million Xbox LIVE members right from their phone, putting the power of Xbox LIVE in the palm of their hand.
Upcoming titles such as Fable III: Coin Golf, Game Room, and Full House Poker all made their debut at CES. All three were developed by Microsoft Game Studios, making Windows Phone 7 the first mobile platform to be supported by a first-party game studio.
"We've found that in a sea of apps, gadgets, and gizmos, the hardest part can often be finding the games you want to play," Cherry said. "With Windows Phone 7, we've taken a fundamentally different approach, delivering a managed portfolio of high quality games from the best minds in game development, whether it's an AAA publisher on the console or a great independent studio looking to break into the mobile space."
Microsoft will continue to deliver new and improved gaming experiences throughout the year, Cherry said. Kicking off on Feb. 16 with "Hard Corps Uprising," the second annual Xbox LIVE Arcade House Party will deliver five weeks of the best games of the season available to instantly download and play, including "Full House Poker," a new interactive game that features an inventive and exciting live poker game show called Texas Heat and companion Windows Phone 7 game.

Although I didn't have an LTA, maybe I can help answer your questions..
Sexual acts during A: I can't answer specifically for her.. She either didn't enjoy them in the first place but it made the stupid AP happy and she was too broken to say no. I'm thinking she has more respect for you and doesn't want to repeat them?
Or maybe those sex acts make her trigger and she can't bring herself to do them to you?
Or maybe it is still too soon after an LTA and a lot of recovery for both of you needs to be done.
2nd question: I didn't want to stop or change until I felt I was done. I didn't carry on the As for a long time but I most certainly could've stopped or changed sooner before I caused all the damage that I did. The main reason that it didn't stop me in the 1st place, I had 1 justification. My BH would never have to know and could be my secret. So stupid and selfish but I really thought I could hide it but all it did was allow me to cause more damage.
The WW formerly known as messedupchick
Our MC is sure the A happened because of repressed emotions, opportunity and convenience. The A continued because, as time went on, we both detached emotionally from the marriage.
FWH says it was because he found, in her, an escape from everyday stresses. He was never in love with her, she was always available, and he felt safe that they would never be discovered. H claims that he always loved me -How can that be?-
As a former wayward, do you think that these reasons are good enough to explain the "why"? And do you think it is possible to love your spouse but cheat on them for 15 years?
Is it possible to not think of your long term affair partner after being emotionally and sexually connected for so long?
Please help. I can't stand this wondering and the pain.
It is very hard and I feel like I am rugswweeping to some degree also...our lifes are SO interconnected...so family oriented, so many years together...that changing up things would be so hard, I just don't want to think about it. I have and still am wrapping my mind around the whole thing.For the first year or so, my IC was my life saver...literally saved my sanity.
My H said a few times that maybe she(OW) was always in the back of his mind, but even though he has connected with her at least twice during our marriage and we have been together since he was 20, I never even knew she exsisted...I know, that sound crazy, but I had total trust??.
Despite their time together, I don't think he really knows her now, so in my mind, I think how can they be that connected??
But it is what it is. H is not a poster type either. I do NOT want him to know I post here...my safe place...other than my IC, no one knows.That is also hard and makes it easy for him to just "forget" I guess...no other changes for him other than my mistrust and craziness....I guess if he didn't have to deal with that, his life would be back to normal....??
Maybe I should start with some self healing reading...and let him know I doing that.Maybe obvious effort on my part will spur some in him.
Thanks for listening and responding
Also keep in mind, it's possible that no "why" will ever satisfy you. There is never a "good enough" excuse to have an A, so running around with the "whys" might be just harming you. It is the WS job to work on their answers and keep working on themselves, so I hope your WH is continuing to do that. Even if he and the MC think that they found all the "whys" they need to be digging around in each of those categories learning and working on fixing them. It's never just simple enough to say "well, that's my why. Sorry darlin'!"
H claims that he always loved me -How can that be?-
It's in this place that I think he allowed her to sit and fester in his head for that long.
As a former wayward, do you think that these reasons are good enough to explain the "why"?
And do you think it is possible to love your spouse but cheat on them for 15 years?
crossroads- It's totally ok that you want to stay, you are *empowered* to make this decision and it is your choice for your reasons.
I never even knew she exsisted...I know, that sound crazy, but I had total trust??.
FWIW, I knew OW existed as part of my H's past, I just didn't know that there was an A in our present at any point in time until DDay. He said he would have gladly gone the rest of our lives never telling me. I admit I had the same plan of action to conceal my ONS, but when he confronted me saying he knew something was off, I couldn't look him in the eye and lie. It scares the heck out of me that he was able to look me in the eye and lie for so long, even when I asked if she was out of his life multiple times after telling him NC or I'm out.
I don't think he really knows her now, so in my mind, I think how can they be that connected??
To a WS, an AP is a blank piece of paper they can draw/write/project onto any of their pain, baggage and issues, desires and whatever else.
That is also hard and makes it easy for him to just "forget" I guess...no other changes for him other than my mistrust and craziness....I guess if he didn't have to deal with that, his life would be back to normal....??
I hope this helps....

" That could be it ". And no, he is not into doing the digging for himself. I think he feels that he is trying just by going to MC.
You are also correct in that no reasons will ever be good enough for me, and I am aware of that. I would just really like to see him try to look deep within himself, to at least feel the need and the importance of serious introspection.
These things whirl around my thoughts almost every minute of every day. They have taken over my world. The OW has become my OW.
When I tell him this, he will say "You mustn't give her that much importance in your thoughts". I know that I should use that energy to work on our marriage, but I am afraid that if I put the A to the recesses of my mind, as he does, we will be heading toward a false R.
He is being very loving, patient and so much more in tune with us than he ever was, but he would like nothing better than to never think of those "dark years" again.
Our kids (in their 20s) were all devastated by the A. They all knew OW from working at the same office at one time or another. OW went out of her way to befriend them and to become close, especially to my DD. She in particular, cannot understand why her father exposed her to this. FWH, apart from a brief apology to all of the kids, has never discussed it with them again.
Life here at home appears "normal", but there is a dark cloud overhead all the time.
The history of this... - which you can read more in more detail in my profile but basically when my wife started her affair she all the sudden wanted to look super hot - started bleaching her teeth - wearing and buying fancy perfume - taking hours to dress up. Its like it was a totally different person.
I am not quite sure if she was doing all of this to make me jealous or what it was or she was so deep in the fog of the whole thing.
She went totally insaine and I have 2 little boys. She would always ask me if she looked to fat or not pretty and I would tell her all the time she looked hot and didn't need to lose weight.
Once she started the affair it was like she was a teenager getting all dressed up and spending hours on her hair. WTF is that??? It was sick.
My question is - does a WS lose their mind and only think about their appearance to look super hot all of the sudden? Even in front of their freakin spouse? To go out and be with their OP? I go out on dates now with girls and they don't even take half the time to get ready that she did nor did she ever take that much time for me before... It was like she was a teenager again...WTF is that all about? is the fog so freakin deep that your brain goes crazy?

ME - BS:40 Wife - WS:39 Married 10 years 2 boys - 3 1/2 and 7 DD 5/5/12
When life knocks you down, calmly get up, dust yourself off and say "YOU HIT LIKE A BITCH!"
In the summer of 2011, my focus shifted from the trauma of the accident and I started fearing that he was having an affair.
I had a dream that he was cheating and the next day I found the girls name and number on a piece of paper. It was hidden in the battery cupboard at the camp. He claims it was his brother's. I bought it.
Sometime in the summer, I found that he dialed girl's phone number on his cell phone (I know her and recognized the number). She lives at the lake where our camp was (we recently sold it). He denied it right away. He said his fingers are fat and he must have mis-dialed. I asked what number he was calling and he said he didn't remember
. In the new year I started approaching all of this and our past stuff too. I keep asking him about the call. He admitted that his brother and his nephew were there when he made the call but he still claims he doesn't remember making it. In April he said he would ask them to see if they remembered him making it. He called them (I checked the phone) 2 mins after I left the house. He called both of them and both of them called him back. SURPRISE!! Neither of them remember either. I think if he got drunk and made a call that he didn't remember he would have asked them about it ASAP not 8 months later.
In October 2011 I got a few hang up calls.
In December, we went and cut a Christmas tree. We had snacks and were about to decorate and have a family night. His nephew called and he dropped us! He left us and went out drinking. The kids and I decorated the tree without him.
I went into a depressive numb state after that. It lasted until Feb. That' when I started confronting all of this.
He has confessed about all the past stuff but I have no answers to explain anything from the summer of 2011.
What can I do? He keeps insisting that he's told me everything, but I still have so many questions. His new answer is that he's sick of my same questions. He's claiming that I keep bringing up the past and we can't move on because of it. He also says that when I ask questions it causes him to withdraw.
He's lied to me for the most part of our relationship. He's claimed that he was distant because of the accident.
1993- ONS 1994- Prostitute 1997- Pregnant, Suspected ONS 2002- Pregnant, ONS 2008- Hitting on 2 girls on Facebook 2011- Screaming Gut FEB 2012- Started dealing with All of the above
That's what you need a 3rd party. Help him to see the light.
The purpose of this thread is for Betrayed spoused to have their questions answered by FWS. Please refrain from answering questions in this forum.
The people you do your life with shape the life you live
She went totally insaine
spending hours on her hair. WTF is that??? It was sick.
is the fog so freakin deep that your brain goes crazy?
It indeed was sick. She probably was indeed insane. And yes, there is certainly craziness.
My question is - does a WS lose their mind and only think about their appearance to look super hot all of the sudden?
Some do, some don't. An affair is an escape - spending extra time on one's appearance is also an escape.
I go out on dates now with girls and they don't even take half the time to get ready that she did nor did she ever take that much time for me before...
Do you know that for sure? Did your wife and these ladies tell you that they do not spend much time on their hair?
I am not sure exactly what you are asking. Absolutely, people in affairs act crazily. But beyond that, are you just needing to vent?
[This message edited by UnexpectedSong at 8:56 PM, October 10th (Wednesday)]
Here's his problem. He couldn't afford his apartment (or car, it was repossessed) so he had two coworkers move in with him. They are both the same age as OW (20-21) and have only known him and OW together. They know nothing about me and the kids other than he has kids and I am his ex. Neither one of these boys are allowed to move back home. They were both wanting to move out of state next year anyway, so agreed to move in until the lease was up and then move like they had planned at the end of the lease. So...here is what ex says his issue is (and looked visibly upset), these "friends" moved to help him and now he will be putting them on the street, as well as OW and her son. He feels like he "fucked up" our life, our kids lives and now he will "fuck up" three more people's lives and just doesn't know how to do it.
I shouldn't even be THINKING about this right now because there have been no actions, but it crossed my mind that if he ever did come home and leave them in the dust, I feel like the guilt from that would weigh over him for so long that it would ruin everything in and of itself. Does that make sense? I feel like it will make me angry that he has visible guilt for these people, but didn't for his own family. Screw OW. I don't care what happens to her, but I would feel bad for the other two boys (yes..."boys"...ex is 13 years older than them...). My reaction was close to "Fine, if that is what you value right now (their well being) instead of ours, then go take care of those 3 children and screw your own 3 children and leave me the hell alone."
I don't know. I just want to know what other WS's think of this guilt and thought process.
"Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger"
You are in your 20's still so you might have lived with roommates before and remember what it's like.... Remember how easy it is to network to find roommates? Those 21ish "boys" can go on CL or FB and find a roommate in like 2-5 days no problem.
His guilt over this is also a projection of him lamenting how "sad" his life is now. He doesn't like looking and feeling like the bad guy. Sounds like this is someone not really close to working on his issues.
I think you should stay NC unless he shows he is working on his issues. Him lamenting that he wants to come home and poor him for putting out 3 people sounds like he is fishing for you to rescue him. Which means he is not looking to do anything remotely healthy or helpful to you anytime soon.
I didn't leave my H for my AP, and if a WS out there on SI did and can weigh in here, maybe there is a different take on this...
Rockbottom, are you considering letting him move back home? How d you respond to him saying he wants to come home? There should be some serious hoops he has to jump through in order to do that if you are.

I think my point is this - my wife (during the affair when she was still living at home - she is still in the affair but has moved out) would spend a huge amount of time getting ready for her "affair dates". I believe half of that was for "show" to make me jealous as in you don't have me anymore and "you" look at how pretty I am - The other half was just to look pretty for this new guy. Hours were spent getting ready - standing in front of the mirror - getting makeup on and doing her hair - trying to look "perfect".
She would spray perfume all over the house before she went out - So I know she was looking good Trying to make me jealous again and staying out till 2 am - She started bleaching her teeth - dieing her hair to get out any hint of gray.
This drove me crazy at the time thinking my wife is looking good for someone else.
She just turned 39 and was always upset with her appearance and obssessed with her weight - always on the scale checking her weight.
She is skinny and I would tell her she looks "hot" all the time before the affiar started and "pretty" but that was never enough for her.
Friends would tell her she looked good - but she was always at the gym trying to look "better" - she felt like she was getting old and I would tell her thats natural - you look great - which (at the gym) is where she meet this preditor/OM.
External validation situation mixed with low self esteem - always needed to be told she looked hot - she is from Colombia South America.
So my question is this - When you are in the "fog"/fantasy land - do you pretty much go "crazy" and obsessive to the point that you are only thinking about your appearance and or making your spouse jealous or what could be going through your mind. I hear the term "fog" Do you just completely lose your reational side of thinking and go nuts?
Are you brain washed? - she stopped watching TV and doing normal things/sneaking around became her life.
Only went into our spare room and texted with the OM at night.
What the heck could be going through your mind or any WS ever had this sort of obssession with looking so good for their new affair partner - like I said she never spent that much time looking good for me - maybe in the begging - but we had been married for 10 years.
Any idea on how one thinks with these affairs? What goes through your mind? Is it like being on a drug and your just a big mess? Appreciate the feedback.

So my question is this - When you are in the "fog"/fantasy land - do you pretty much go "crazy" and obsessive to the point that you are only thinking about your appearance and or making your spouse jealous or what could be going through your mind.
Certain mindsets are similar in all WSes. So yes, people can get obsessive about calling / texting / looks / whatever. Maybe she was indeed trying to make you jealous. Maybe she wanted you to fight for her. Or to yell at her.
I myself am not a girly girl. I would not know how to spend more than 2 minutes on my hair. But I was obsessed with figuring out how to meet up with the OM.
I hear the term "fog" Do you just completely lose your reational side of thinking and go nuts?
Yes, there is definitely a loss of rationality.
Again, people are different. I never stopped doing "normal" things.
Is it like being on a drug and your just a big mess?
Yes, that is a good way of describing it. You feel addicted and keep wanting the next "hit" - any kind of contact. And you will do and say almost anything to get the next hit

I don't know about a WS perspective, but just as a perspective... Until he kicks them all out, works on himself, lives a clean life, and begs you for another chance, you should not be thinking about any of this. Own only your crap - not his, not the freeloaders'.


text:
I have a situation that I could use some feedback on. Here is the situation. I have a line chart that has 1 to 4 lines being charted. The chart represents race data and is real time data from a hardware device. I am using the standard arrayCollection and adding values as they arrive and binding the chart to the data. All good so far. There is a set distance that I am able to predefine so I do know what data point is the end point. I can stop the data collection at that time.
My first problem is that the line chart data spans the entire chart no matter how many points I have. So let's assume that the distance is 100. I have 5 of the 100 points added to the arrayCollection. It might look like this.
I don't want this. Since I know I will be charting 100 points, I want it to look something more like this below at the point I only have 5 of the 100 points. I assume that a NULL value is not plotted at all and not like having a 0 entry where the line would drop down to a 0 value. I want it cut off like in the screenshot.
As far as I can figure out in my testing I cannot set a pre-defined max like a bar chart can be set.If I could I think the problem would be solved.
So how can I achieve he second example and build the line as the data comes in as related to the pre-defined length.
One thought I have is pre-populating the arrayCollection to the length I need. If the race was to 100 then I would enter 100 entired with a value of NULL. If I then set interpolateValues to false and started to update (not adding new) the arrayCollection this it might give me the display I want.
Is there any easier way without prepopulating the arrayCollection? I want to make sure I am not missing something obvouse on the line graph.
No luck at all setting min and max range on line chart. The Category Axis cannot take a min and max setting. But you can put a min/max on the vertical asix in the Linear Axis. Here is my code.
How can I set a min/max on the Category Axis?
<mx:LineChart x="25" y="228" id="speed"
height="172" width="748"
backgroundElements="{bge2}" >
<mx:Stroke color="0xA8A8A8"/>
<mx:horizontalAxis >
showLabels="false" />
<mx:LineSeries yField="racerOne" >
<mx:Stroke color="0xFF0000" weight="2"/>
<mx:LineSeries yField="racerTwo" >
<mx:Stroke color="0x0000FF" weight="2"/>
<mx:LineSeries yField="racerThree" >
<mx:Stroke color="0xE0E804" weight="2"/>
<mx:LineSeries yField="racerFour" >
<mx:Stroke color="0x00CA00" weight="2"/>
The lable on the field may be 'time' but I am trying to experiment on what gets put into 'time' to get the visual of what I want. It started out as milliseconds being upt into time. I am not entering just a incremented number into time(1,2,3,4,5). Last night I switched to the LinearAxis and I was able to set the min and max and the line chart to grow like I need. But that created a second problem. Entering the time won't work since there are multiple racers and they all complete the race and progress at different times. In the end I just want to show their speed over a set race distance. I don't care how long it took a racer just what their speed was a relative pace in the race. For example what each speed was at the completed of a lap. So in my case think of the race distance in laps. 100 laps completes the race for example. So back to the original post, if I know a race is 100 entries into my arrayCollection I can end a participants data stream/entry. When using time you may complete the race faster than I do so I can't use time. But I can use laps since I know when you would complete a lap to when I complete a lat. Graphing our speed at that point is what I want to show.
Having multiple people on the line chart is going to be hard since they all do their laps at different points in the race. Remember this is real time data and I want the graph to post their line (speed) as soon as they hit their lap. I would have to wait for the last person to post their first lap to graph them all at the same time. That is unless I pre-populated the arrayCollection with NULLs and just updated the position in the arrayCollection at each lap for each racer. The reason I think this is a bad idea is that what I have been referring to as laps occur every few milliseconds. And a race might have 1000+ laps to it. I hope that make sense but I am probably not explaining it very well.
Last night I experimented with creating 4 line charts. Each with their own arrayCollection bound to it. Then set the charts background to transparent and layed them out all on top of each other. That actually works since they are all independent of each other and can post their lap speed as they complete it. But for some reason the lengths of the complete lines for each racer on different charts were not the same total distance on the overlayed charts. Each racer stopped at 100 laps but their lines were not the same length.
So now I am looking for a way to sent the length of each line that is graphed to be the same length. I think that will do it for me to get the visual I want. I will post a graphic tonight to better visualize it of the different line sizes.
How about separate series on the same chart? Each series can have a separate dataProvider, and you can update these independently. Since you're interested in laps, update each data source according to the current number of items (since from the description it sounds like your situation is append-only), instead of tracking the actual times. E.g., when you receive input for racerA, do something like
function updateRacerData(racerId:String, racerSpeed:int):void {
var racerData:ArrayCollection = racerDataMap[racerId];
racerData.addItem({ lap: racerData.length, speed: racerSpeed });
Okay, I am going to go back and put them in one chart with their own series again. Each racers will have their own arrayCollection. Each independent from the other. I now see that I don't really need to keep the lap id since that is just the position in the array anyway. What I was doing wrong on my frist attempt was to have one data source for all the racers. So it was something like this...
racer:0, time: 3456, speed: 0
racer:1, time: 3456, speed: 25
racer:2, time: 3456, speed: 12
racer:3, time: 3456, speed: 10
racer:0, time: 6734, speed: 10
racer:1, time: 6734, speed: 15
racer:2, time: 6734, speed: 22
racer:3, time: 6734, speed: 15
That was not working since everyone would not finish at the same time based on time milliseconds and their speed.
Having them all in one chart BUT with different arrayCollections pretty much ensures that the distance between the entries are the same. As long as they don't get an arrayCollection enty outside of a "lap" trigger it should be fine.
Now I just need to get home to try this out. i will update tonight with a real screenshot to show you who it looks.
Hi Ehusa
Its been a very long search on google for a solution to this problem. I have live data coming which I am plting against the current time, I have used Datetimeaxis but did not get any result.

Monitoring analysts and their price targets can provide valuable data points when making investment decisions. We have been keeping an eye on analyst data published for mining stocks on Yahoo.com for some time now and have been reporting our observations on precious metals mining stocks on a monthly basis.
Starting this month we are expanding our scope to base metal miners. Subsequent editions in our series will relate back to previous months for comparison. This first edition records the data as listed on Yahoo.com at the time of writing.
Most companies mentioned in this article have more analysts following their progress than considered in our database. This difference is due to the fact that not all analysts release their predictions to Yahoo.com, which is the source of the presented data.
For this initial installment we are considering the following companies in alphabetical order: Freeport-McMoRan (FCX), Hudbay Mining (HBM), Southern Copper (SCCO), Taseko Mines (TGB), Teck Resources (TCK) and Turquoise Hill Resources (TRQ).
Our data for these stocks is summarized in the table below. The first three columns list the company name, ticker symbol and share price at the time of writing. Price targets (low, median and high) are listed in the following three columns. These targets are followed by a column giving the number of analysts providing data to Yahoo.com and the mean recommendation given by these analysts ranging from 1.0 (strong buy) to 5.0 (sell). This concludes the data sourced directly from Yahoo.com.
The following columns are colored in light green and contain data derived from our source data. These data points are given in percentages related to the share price at the time of writing. The column titled "median-price" gives the difference between the share price and the median target price. The column titled "high-low" gives the difference between the high and the low target.
The difference between the current share price and the median price target is listed in column "median-price" and visualized in the diagram below. Under normal circumstances we would view a large value in this column as an indicator for the potential of disproportionate gains over the coming year.
Turquoise Hill Resources and Taseko Mines are trading more than 200% and 50% respectively below their median price targets indicating tremendous potential.
The former is exposed to significant country risk due to its engagement in Mongolia and its fate will depend on negotiations regarding the future of the world class Oyu Tolgoi mine. This article offers a suitable starting point for research into this rather risky investment proposition.
The latter is awaiting permits for a major project. Valuation will depend on the outcome of permitting, with ample upside anticipated by analysts in the event of success.
The remaining stocks are trading relatively close to their median price targets.
Divergence in analyst opinion is measured in column "high-low." The results from this column in the table above are visualized in the next diagram.
A high degree of disagreement in price targets is observed for Turquoise Hill Resources and Taseko, again reflecting different outlooks on Mongolian proceedings and permitting.
Disagreement is within ranges typically observed in the sector for the remaining companies.
The final diagram visualizes analysts' "Recommendation" ratings.
Taseko Mines is viewed most favorably and considering our interpretation of the first two diagrams this comes as no surprise.
Southern Copper brings up the rear in this ranking. We observe some contradiction here: the median price target is 52% higher than the present share price and disagreement among analysts is very limited. Yet the recommendation of 2.8 does not indicate a buy rating. A good starting point for further research for this company can be found here.
The chart below shows the share price performance of the mentioned companies since the start of 2012, and also the performance of the wider industry represented by the Global X Copper Miner ETF (COPX). Turquoise Hills Resources has underperformed COPX significantly owing to the problems with Mongolian authorities. Southern Copper on the other hand has shown the strongest performance and resilience against the downturn in metal prices.
Our pick of the month
Analysts seem to be in agreement with regards to the high potential of Taseko Mining. This company scores very high with regard to potential - analysts are in agreement with regard to the high targets, and Taseko Mining gets the highest buy recommendation.
We will second the analysts on their call for this month, but would also like to note that all the usual caveats with regards to junior mining companies apply.

We've scoured the journals and conference proceedings to bring you the top research stories of the week. This diverse set of items includes advancements in petascale-era development environments; the challenges of energy-efficiency in HPC; optimizing computer science instruction; and a possible path to extreme heterogeneity.
A Scalable Development Environment for Petascale Era
The Juelich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) at Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH, in Germany, has released the final scientific report detailing its efforts to develop "A scalable Development Environment for Peta-Scale Computing." The goal of the project was to extend the Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) – an integrated development environment for parallel applications – to meet the needs of current-era petascale systems. PTP covers code analysis, performance tuning, parallel debugging and system monitoring.
The role of the Juelich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) was to provide a scalable system modeling solution for today's supercomputers. This meant developing a new communication protocol for status data to be exchanged between the target remote system and the client running PTP. Remote support was essential as PTP provides transparent access to multiple remote systems via a unified interface.
The nature of the challenge is described thusly:
"The common requirement for all PTP components is that they have to interact with the remote supercomputer, e.g., applications are built remotely and performance tools are attached to job submissions and their output data resides on the remote system. Status data has to be collected by evaluating outputs of the remote job scheduler and the parallel debugger needs to control an application executed on the supercomputer. The challenge is to provide this functionality for peta-scale systems in real-time."
The remainder of the paper describes the process by which JSC developed the new monitoring component and successfully integrated it into PTP. The solution is now being used on JSC's BlueGene/Q system JUQUEEN, as well as its general purpose cluster JUROPA and its GPU cluster JUDGE. It's also been successfully applied to Jaguar, the Cray supercomputer maintained by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (now part of Titan), and various XSEDE machines, including the Kraken and Keeneland systems at the National Institute for Computational Sciences, the Lonestar and Ranger systems at Texas Advanced Computing Center, as well as Argonne National Laboratory's Blue Gene/P and Q.
Energy-Efficiency: A Balancing Act
Another research paper released this week demonstrates novel energy savings strategies for parallel applications by way of point to point communication phases.
"Although high-performance computing traditionally focuses on the efficient execution of large-scale applications, both energy and power have become critical concerns when approaching exascale," state the four-person research team (from Iowa State University and Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Va.).
Fig. 2. State diagram for runtime procedure to apply energy savings efficiently. The transitions are labeled with Lt, where L takes a value of the first 11 letters of the alphabet. The transition of a state into itself (At,Et,Ft,It) indicate ongoing state action.
The authors explore several frequency scaling strategies aimed at saving energy:
"In modern microprocessor architectures, equipped with dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) and CPU clock modulation (throttling), the power consumption may be controlled in software. Additionally, network interconnect, such as Infiniband, may be exploited to maximize energy savings while the application performance loss and frequency switching overheads must be carefully balanced. This paper advocates for a runtime assessment of such overheads by means of characterizing point-to-point communications into phases followed by analyzing the time gaps between the communication calls."
The tests employ NAS parallel benchmark problems and calculations performed by the quantum chemistry software package GAMESS. In the final analysis, the team achieved close to the maximum energy savings, however there was a small performance loss of 2 percent.
Their work appears in the latest edition of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing.
Next >> Greener Supercomputing
A Power Efficient General Purpose Supercomputer
The power wall is one of the biggest challenges facing the HPC community. While these mega-machines are essential to research and business, they also are also big energy consumers. This issue, however is getting a lot of attention, and optimizing performance-per-watt has become a key goal of the computing industry at all levels.
A team of UK researchers have written about the advances that will be needed over the coming years, observing that achieving a "pervasively energy-efficient" supercomputing architecture will require improvements in multiple fields. They believe that the LOEWE-CSC supercomputer at the University of Frankfurt, Germany, has already made a lot of headway in meeting these goals. That system, they write, "is setting new standards in environmental compatibility as well as energy and cooling efficiency for high-performance and general-purpose computing."
The team notes that GPUs provide more compute performance per watt versus standard processors, while "a balanced hardware configuration ensures that most of the compute power is available to the user when he employs optimized applications." As well: "clever algorithms enable the user to fully exploit the computational potential and avoids to waste power when the processors idles, which is often a cause of inefficient programming."
The LOEWE-CSC supercomputer achieved 740 MFlops-per-watt on a Linpack benchmark run, earning it an eighth place finish on the Green500 list of November 2010. A good metric for the time, it has since been surpassed by more energy-efficient systems and has fallen to 109th position on the most recent Green500 list (November 2012).
The work appears in proceedings from the 21st Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing, 2013.
Next >> Evaluating Student Progress
Evaluating Student Understanding of Core Concepts in Computer Architecture
Four researchers from across the country have written a paper that is sure to resonate with anyone who's ever taken or taught a computer science course. In "Evaluating Student Understanding of Core Concepts in Computer Architecture," the authors begin with the assertion: "Many studies have demonstrated that students tend to learn less than instructors expect in CS1."
The researchers wondered whether these findings would hold true for subsequent, upper-level computer science courses, and set out to test their hypothesis.
Multiple computer architecture instructors developed basic concept questions for upper-division computer architecture courses. The questions were designed to test students' minimum proficiency levels post-course and the expectation was that every student would be able to answer the questions. The tests were used to assess four separate computer architecture courses (taught by four different teachers) at two institutions, a large public university and a small liberal arts college.
The results in the authors' words: "Our results show that students in these courses were indeed not learning as much as the instructors expected, performing poorly overall: the per-question average was only 56%, with many questions showing no statistically significant improvement from precourse to post-course. While these results follow the trend from CS1 courses, they are still somewhat surprising given that the courses studied were taught using research-based pedagogy that is known to be effective across the CS curriculum."
The paper includes a discussion of the findings as well as recommendations for further study. While this may come as "bad news," pinpointing the most difficult subject matter will help course instructors refine their lessons (see the Recommendations section for more on this topic).
It's no question these findings are significant – one wonders how surprising they will be to the HPC or larger computer science community.
This paper opens the door for further discourse on this important subject.
Extreme Heterogeneity
The last decade has seen continuing push toward heterogenous architectures, but is there a more extreme form of heterogeneity still to come? There is according to one group of computer scientists. The diverse research team, with affiliations that include Microsoft as well as US, Mexican, European and Asian universities, presented a paper on the subject at the International Symposium on Pervasive Systems, Algorithms and Networks (I-SPAN' 2012) in San Marcos, Texas, December 13–15, 2012.
In "Introducing the Extreme Heterogeneous Architecture," they write:
"The computer industry is moving towards two extremes: extremely high-performance high-throughput cloud computing, and low-power mobile computing. Cloud computing, while providing high performance, is very costly. Google and Microsoft Bing spend billions of dollars each year to maintain their server farms, mainly due to the high power bills. On the other hand, mobile computing is under a very tight energy budget, but yet the end users demand ever increasing performance on these devices."
Conventional architectures have diverged to meet the needs of multiple user groups. But wouldn't it be ideal if there was a way to deliver high-performance and low power consumption at the same time? The authors set out to explore a novel architecture model that addresses both these extremes, setting the stage for the Extremely Heterogeneous Architecture (EHA) project.
"EHA is a novel architecture that incorporates both general-purpose and specialized cores on the same chip," the authors explain. "The general-purpose cores take care of generic control and computation. On the other hand, the specialized cores, including GPU, hard accelerators (ASIC accelerators), and soft accelerators (FPGAs), are designed for accelerating frequently used or heavy weight applications. When acceleration is not needed, the specialized cores are turned off to reduce power consumption. We demonstrate that EHA is able to improve performance through acceleration, and at the same time reduce power consumption."
As a heterogeneous architecture, EHA is capable of accelerating heterogeneous workloads on the same chip. This is useful because it is often the case that datacenters (either in-house or in "the cloud") provide many services – media streaming, searching, indexing, scientific computations, and so on.
The EHA project has two main goals. The first one is to design a chip that is suitable for many different cloud services, thereby greatly reducing both recurring and non-recurring costs of datacenters or clouds. Second, they plan to implement a light-weight EHA for use with mobile devices, with the aim of optimizing user experience under tight power constraints.
