Forgiveness to me doesn't mean absolving them of their wrongdoing - it means letting go of that ball of fury I was carrying around.
Healingtree said it best - I'm so glad someone put it in the Quotes thread.
Your freedom from anger will come from detachment. From lumping it all up, past and present, into a big ball of bullshit...and rather than throwing it back at his head, just gently rolling it towards him and saying in your head, "Here, you can have this back, it doesn't matter to me anymore."
Responding in anger makes those bad feelings bounce right back...
Gently rolling the BS back at him leaves it lying at his feet where it belongs.
Gently rolling the BS back at him leaves it lying at his feet where it belongs.
I've thought of this often - the imagery has had a powerful impact on me.
((Strongmama)) There is so much unforgivable around. Forgiving doesn't make it any less unforgivable - it does set you free though.
You and your kids deserve better treatment.
The best thing about hitting rock bottom is that everything after that looks fucking fabulous
I was always so envious of those folks in the Reconciliation Forum, and even those whose WS's expressed remorse or asked forgiveness. I prayed hard STBX would see the havoc she wreaked on the family and try to repair it, to put it back together, but she's incapable.
But i think i'm probably lucky in that she was too broken to even try. Two Ddays for me were bad enough, can't imagine false R. Maybe a remorseless WS is a blessing?
I'm so sorry you and your children had to endure this. You definitely deserve better.
Maybe a remorseless WS is a blessing?
That is how I choose to frame my situation.
Thank you for posting! It makes me feel grateful that STBX left only once and for good. I CAN'T imagine having to tell the children again. I am so sorry this happened to you and to your children.
Perv did that four times and each time was not when DD was home, so I had to tell her each time she came home from school.
By the last time she came and didn't see all of his vehicles, she already knew.
I can still hear her screams. I can still feel her shaking.
Now she panics when she is with him and has post traumatic stress disorder, as I do, from being abandoned.
Two times, we woke up in the morning and he was gone. The other two times, he looked me right in the eye, packed a bag and slammed the door on me.
Since he told me that OW has fits when he does it, I stood stone faced in the house we built, forced him to look at me and said nothing. No tears.
And what did he say the last time? "I don't know where I'm sleeping tonight." After the car drove away, I said aloud, I do."
I'm sorry for your trouble and I'm also glad that your kids have you to lean on. Now there are no more blinders, no more chances and hopefully only moving on.
You gave me nothing and now it's all I've got - Bono
A person is a person, no matter how small. -Dr. Suess
Perserverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.
-George Washington
I've got a list of those moments. Some things are unforgivable, especially when it affects our babies.
Your kids have you; your love, your advocacy. That's beautiful.
Nope. I can live with myself very nicely without ever forgiving. He should just go away.
I will never forgive him for what he has and continues to put DD through.
They don't deserve the love of our wonderful children.
But I will never, never be able to say, even to myself, "I forgive you X for cheating on me and lying about it, trying to make me think I was crazy."
Nope. I can live with myself very nicely without ever forgiving. He should just go away.
lol. I wholeheartedly agree. He should just go away.
Don't think I'll ever forgive my ex for what he did to my babies either. And it makes me want to vomit how he acts like father of the year now. Douche fucking bag.
If it makes you feel any better, I don't go to my kids events when they fall on his nights either. I can't stomach the sight of him. I have them most of the time so I'm ok with it and he doesn't come on my nights either. So far it's only been soccer games and such. When it is a graduation or something I'll have to suck it up. But until then I avoid the SOB like the plague.

Step 257: If your candidate wins tonight, be gracious.
Happy Election Day, U.S. readers! Happy End of Having to Hear Every 10 Goddamn Seconds About the U.S. Election Day, non-U.S. readers!
I hope y'all voted. If not, you know, OK. That's fine. It's dumb, but who cares? You can be apathetic if you like.
But here is what you should not do: Be a poor, gloaty winner.
It's fine and right to feel so so so happy if your candidate of choice wins. Just remember that their winning, by definition, means someone else's candidate lost. And even if you think your city/state/country narrowly averted a tragedy via this candidate's defeat, there are people out there who are mourning.
It is a hard, hard thing to feel like the rest of the country is out of step with you. There is a real pain there. Just ask 20-year-old me as I woke up crying on Nov. 3, 2004.
So be happy, with like-minded people. Pop the champagne cork, high-five, do whatever. But be aware that no matter what happens tonight, half the country will be disappointed. So ask yourself whether you really need to post that "IN YOUR FACE!!!!" Facebook update.
And if your candidate loses, whatever you do, do not follow my past-self's lead and drink two bottles of blue Arbor Mist. That will not help.

We've been talking a lot about hybrid photography on SCBP lately and for good reason – as people's consumption technology changes, photographers, journalist, and everyone else must adapt to remain relevant and keep food on the table. Giulio recently posted a video giving you a behind the scenes look at one of his hybrid products, here we'll talk about some software that can help you get started.
Part of being able to sell yourself as a photographer or photojournalist requires tools to get the job done. If you ever find yourself running a workshop or speaking at an event, then a polished, multimedia rich presentation may be just what you're looking for. If you're on a Mac iPhoto already comes with a slideshow maker but it's considerably under-powered. You could try to create one using Premiere or Final Cut but if you're just starting out they may be outside of your budget. Enter Boinx Software's FotoMagico 4 – we got a copy of the latest software and put it through its paces on Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
FotoMagico 4 employs a simple to use drag-and-drop interface that works seamlessly with your Mac media libraries: simply point to the media you'll be using and drag onto the timeline. The interface very closely resembles that which is already found in iPhoto (or iDVD before it) and makes adding transitions as simple as picking out an option (or various options) from a pull-down menu and adding on your timeline.
Individual slides can be slightly edited to include zoom and pan reference points as well as slide length and transition delay. Like in Apple's bundled suite, you can also add music but FotoMagico 4 allows for interesting blend of still and video in a very easy to navigate drag-and-drop interface.
So why pay $100 for something that so closely resembles Apple's bundled software? Mainly for the additional control over your project including the ability to layer up to six elements of video, sound, and of course, stills. This means you can add your own watermark, a voice-over, and background music to your presentations. It's a great upgrade to Apple's offerings without putting a hurt on your pocket.
FotoMagico 4 also shines in the various output features – with options to have your final presentation formatted for a high-definition television up to an HD projector, all the way down to an iPhone – FotoMagico 4 thinks about not just what you're presenting, but where you'll be showing off your work. All items that go far beyond the limitations of the bundle software and for far less than anything offered by Adobe.
Below is a very simple presentation I created walking you through various transition effects.
We've said it before, still photography isn't dead, we're just witnessing the next way to present it, FotoMagico 4 can help you make that transition. To download a copy or see a much more polished demo, check out the FotoMagico page here.

I am building a standalone application and already followed uncountless times the steps described on Max help and here on the forum, copied the jitter-shader and Cg.Framework to the support folder. Also copied the file (tr.edgeblend.jxs) to the support folder.
When I run the app, I get the following errors:
jit.gl.shader: can't find file
Attempting to convert non UTF-8 characters
Attempting to convert non UTF-8 characters
jit.gl.shader: can't find file b+
Also tried to build a collective and happens the same..
Someone have a clue of what is happening?
Aparently is solved, I was placing the file [tr.edgeblend.jxs] inside the patch main folder because I thought this shader wasn't included in the max core. I just removed the file, compiled and copy the shader folder plus the cg.framework and it is working perfectly :]

...in 1549 dispatched Tomé de Sousa as captain general, along with a small band of Jesuits headed by Manuel da Nóbrega.

Bird Island Basin Campground rehabilitation starts August 18, 2014
The second part of a project to repair facilities and rebuild eroded shoreline at Bird Island Basin Campground begins August 18. Minor disruptions of activities in the immediate area may occur. None of the work should affect use of the boat ramp.
Driving Down Island Tips
Many people come to the National Seashore to escape the pressures of urban life and to experience the beauty of nature in isolation. The best way to do this is to travel down-island into the park's most remote areas, which are usually only accessible with a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Before you explore the island in search of its wonderful mysteries and the awesome solitude it provides, please read the helpful tips that are written below.
Only one portion of the park's beach is closed to driving, and that is Closed Beach. Malaquite Beach, which is in front of the Malaquite Visitor Center, is part of Closed Beach. To get to the portion of the park where you can drive on the beach and down to the remote parts of the island, continue on the main park paved road (Park Road 22) past Malaquite Visitor Center until the pavement ends. South Beach begins where the main park paved road ends. From that point, the park has 60 miles of beach open to driving. South Beach (and driving) ends at the Port Mansfield Channel, a man-made waterway cut through the island. It is not possible to drive all the way down to South Padre Island due to this waterway. You must turn around at that point and drive 60 miles back north to reach the park paved road.
Remember that Texas beaches are public highways and all traffic laws apply, including seat belt regulations. All vehicles traveling on Padre Island National Seashore must be street legal and licensed. Please note that, with rare exception, Texas will not license all-terrain-vehicles (ATVs) for use on highways. The National Seashore has one of the few exceptions, because it uses ATVs to patrol for nesting sea turtles in the park.
The driving conditions at the beach are constantly changing due to the currents, winds, and tides. Call our Beach & Weather Conditions Hotline at (361)949-8175 for updated driving and weather conditions. Or call the Malaquite Visitor Center at (361)949-8069 for more information.
Changing conditions and marine debris washed ashore by the currents can sometimes make for hazardous driving. Click on the following link to learn some simple driving tips and regulations in order to best prepare for your trip down island.
Did You Know?
Metal detecting is prohibited at Padre Island National Seashore as well as at all other units of the National Park Service. More...

text: In Shaughnessy's visceral wonderland, obsession and poison go hand in hand, mirrors make people vanish, and nuns are definitely not safe in their alabaster chambers. She's ever intent on rescuing (or wresting) us from our easy beliefs. "The Question and Its Mark" is her stunning take on the myth of Leda and the Swan, its final couplet reading: "Leda possessed a pair of knees that also bent / in prayer. I ask of you only what she asked for there." Yes, this poet knows her tropes, and has a sure synesthetic touch. Her pairs of women are "hot with mixed / light drunk with insult," and her private language--in which words such as blue, strumpet, and silver reverberate--soon becomes a kind of lingua franca between her and the reader. In her debut, Shaughnessy's debt to the surrealists, particularly to Dorothea Tanning, is visible and audible on each page. She's also a distant and distancing poetic relative of Sylvia Plath, wielding a similar jaunty threat. "Epithalament," her twist of an epithalamium, invokes a woman lost--and begins: "Other weddings are so shrewd on the sofa, short / and baffled, basset-legged." What better combination could there be of tradition, the individual talent, and the razor-sharp imagination? --Kerry Fried

On today's show, I talk to "Conan" writer Brian Stack. Taking his first improv lesson in 1987, Brian spent the next decade honing his craft, and performed at Second City for four of those years. In 1997, he joined the writing staff of "Late Night with Conan O'Brien", and since then has stayed with the show through its three iterations, where he's played numerous characters such as Clive Clemmons, Kilty McBagpipes and one of the Slipnutz. (By the way, here's a link to the Del Close video that Brian made, which is mentioned during the interview.) Back in December, Brian joined me in writers room of "The Pete Holmes Show" to talk about showbiz as an alien pursuit, proposal stories, PTSD, Irish Catholic repression, Crummy Magazine, Mr. Mike's Least-Loved Bedtime Tales, studying with Del Close, reminiscing about Chris Farley, office politics, the worst Conan sketches, copying your heroes, and Bill Haverchuck. Also, in the second half of the show, I talk with comedian Bethany Hall of "The Chris Gethard Show" about office pranks, office politics and office pervs. Please subscribe on iTunes, and follow me on Twitter!

Last month, The New York Times' outgoing executive editor Bill Keller trolled all of Twitter (including plenty of journalists at his own paper) by posting a single tweet: "#TwitterMakesYouStupid. Discuss." Today, Reuters's Anthony De Rosa posted an interview with Keller where (among other things), De Rosa asked him about it.
While repeating some of the stranger accusations he's previously leveled at his critics ("My view of social media is that it is a set of tools, not a religion"; "digital evangelists and cyber-puritans… treat any hint of skepticism as heresy"), Keller also spelled out what he thinks social media is (and isn't) useful for:
At the Times, we embrace social media, we use it, we experiment with it. We have a staff dedicated to figuring out new ways to make the best journalistic use of it. We have staff seminars on social media. I encourage reporters to look at Twitter and Facebook and to figure out if there's a way these services can be helpful to them. Like many tools, Twitter will fit some people's toolkits more naturally than others, and will be used more skillfully and creatively by some people than others…
The point of my column was that most technological progress comes at a price, and it's okay to consider the price along with the progress. For some people, Facebook is a way to engage more openly with the world. But there's an opportunity cost. The time you spend keeping up with your 200 Facebook friends is time you are not getting to know someone really well in person. Twitter is all the wonderful things I said above and then some, but Twitter is mostly reductionist. It does not lend itself to deep, rich conversation, with context and persuasion. It CAN be a stimulus to serious discussion, but that is not the nature of the tool, which is reach rather than depth.
In case you're wondering, by the way, I do not believe that Twitter literally makes people stupid. If you read the column, you know that I posted a hashtag — #twittermakesyoustupid — followed, please note, by the word "discuss." The point was to throw out a subject for discussion, and see how the medium dealt with it, which was pretty much the way I expected. (A hashtag is a topic, not an argument. ) I think Twitter can encourage distraction, superficiality, short attention spans, bumper-sticker-level discourse. It can make you SOUND stupid. But, no, I don't think it makes you stupid.
Now, the long-standing, well-known rule of thumb on the web is "Do Not Feed the Trolls." In other words, when an Internet user posts something with the deliberate intention of starting a fight, don't give them what they want. "#TwitterMakesYouStupid. Discuss" has all the telltale marks of a troll. Even Keller says that the argument went "pretty much the way I expected."
But in this interview, Keller doesn't seem to be looking to troll the web, but asking for a different kind of engagement. I don't think he was expecting that different kind of engagement to happen on Twitter. But that's exactly what happened.
[View the story "I happen to have that research right here, Mr Keller" on Storify]
[If you don't see a Storify embed above, click here, then come back.]
No one on Twitter is going to let any one person set the conversation agenda. But still, we all hope Mr Keller responds. Whenever he's ready. We know that just like us, he's a busy man.
Update: Keller responds. And yes, he and Tufekci are both very busy. (Good thing there's a popular medium for very short messages written by busy people.)

Disney Says "John Carter" Will Lose $200 Million
Posted: March 20th, 2012 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
"John Carter" grossed $180 million in just ten days. That's an amazing performance for a film, unless the budget is a whopping $250 million, which is what "John Carter" cost, not counting the amount spent on marketing.
Now, Disney has released an official statement, revealing that the studio will end up losing $200 million on the film. Read the full statement below:
In light of the theatrical performance of John Carter ($184 million global box office), we expect the film to generate an operating loss of approximately $200 million during our second fiscal quarter ending March 31. As a result, our current expectation is that the Studio segment will have an operating loss of between $80 and $120 million for the second quarter. As we look forward to the second half of the year, we are excited about the upcoming releases of The Avengers and Brave, which we believe have tremendous potential to drive value for the Studio and the rest of the company.

If Disney is going to lose $200 million dollars in the first place, why the f*ck do they have to do it? Did they not even study the script first? What the f*ck is going in their heads? I bet that they all had a coffee, and thought, "Guys, lets do a movie for movie's sake". Lesson learned Disney.
on March 20th, 2012 at 6:44:56 AM
"Lesson learned Disney."
Lol. Such optimism, this one.
on March 20th, 2012 at 6:49:00 AM
At least optimistic, not negative. We all learn from such crappy moves in the first place.
on March 20th, 2012 at 7:21:49 AM
Big mistake, Dinsey.
That will teach Dinsey not to cast a unknown actor as the main lead.
I mean I watched the TV spots for John Carter in the UK and the TV spots were boring.
I think the only movie that will help Dinsey from losing millions is The Avengers.
As much as I hate Dinsey, I hope The Avengers turns out to be a great movie and make lots of money.
on March 20th, 2012 at 7:26:19 AM
The fact is not that the John Carter is crap or not (studios would never make money if audiences watched films based on quality), the fact is that Disney can't market their films for sh*t.
They can thank their lucky stars The Avengers is a well known property and that kids won't mind that Brave looks like Scottish Mulan with bears.
on March 20th, 2012 at 7:28:45 AM
^ Meant "John Carter" not "the John Carter".

Disney says "John Carter" will lose $200 million
N O, We said that last year
on March 20th, 2012 at 8:39:55 AM
I saw this movie the other day.I thought it was o.k.,but it was hardly worth the 250 mil it cost to make it.But the're gonna end up making there money back easily with the Avengers and lets not forget,the unavoidable Pirates sequels.It's a sad world we live in when someone can much money and it won't really matter.
on March 20th, 2012 at 8:41:09 AM
This film was never going to do well. This serves you right for Cars 2 you self righteous c*nts. Walt would be turning in his grave. "What have you done!"
on March 20th, 2012 at 8:42:47 AM
Studios are always claiming to be "losing money" but the truth is far from it. They report bloated exaggerated numbers. The way that business works is they will report losses most of the time to prevent certain taxes and prevent paying certain people. Even if a film is highly profitable they won't admit it. One of the Potter films made something like $800 million and they still claimed a loss.
on March 20th, 2012 at 8:53:27 AM
That is what they will do to avoid paying taxes. But there is a saying what goes around, comes around. Speaking of Karma.
on March 20th, 2012 at 9:00:42 AM

I know we get (more than) paid in kind, Still like her money is tight ....

^ PlasticMans daughter isn't tall enough to get on most rides... but she's just the right height for one thing ;)
on March 20th, 2012 at 10:31:01 AM
She will be the right height when she rides on my d*ck.
on March 20th, 2012 at 11:45:15 AM
Dang shame, I saw "John Carter" in HK at the IMAX and I thought it was pretty good.
But this is Disney and well Disney hasn't really done anything good for a while.

"...we expect the film to generate an operating loss of approximately $200 million during our second fiscal quarter ending March 31. As a result, our current expectation is that the Studio segment will have an operating loss of between $80 and $120 million for the second quarter."
Ok. So tell me these Diney exec idiots didn't bet quarter profts on one movie? Tell me they didn't essentially gamble, roll the dice, on one film on which they placed the entire second quarter profitability, because of so, that's insane, reckless and...and....well, nuts! Spend 250 million on a handful of lower budget films, yeah, smart, but the whole enchilada on one mammoth clusterf*ck of a film that had they properly screen tested some demo footage they would have discovered virtually no interest in John Carter? LOL!
And where's Rabid? Where's he at, because he said this movie would be the biggest film of 2012, right? LMAO. Dumb ass. And Disney too. Any fool could have seen John Carter was destined for failure.
"As we look forward to the second half of the year, we are excited about the upcoming releases of The Avengers and Brave, which we believe have tremendous potential to drive value for the Studio and the rest of the company."
..or in OTHER words, Disney's in-house live-action production team can't make films worth d*ck, in part because their executives are reckless imbeciles, so Disney has to depend on leeching PIXAR and Marvel to turn a studio profit, like the way a cell depends on mitochondria for the majority of its ATP.

Quite a number of times during the past month visitors have asked, "What is that bird anyway?" And the bird in question was a Raven. No wonder they attract attention; they are much larger than the familiar Crow and their throaty croak is as coarse in sound as their appearance is ungainly. Drifting into Longmire -- probably from the steep precipice which we know as The Ramparts where their nests might be found were it possible to investigate -- they swing downward in wide spirals like so many dismal shadows against the white and sparkling snows. They are carrion birds and their diet consists of whatever refuse may be found. Leaving us again they rise skyward with ponderous wing beats as they lift their heavy bodies into the air, their croaking audible until they disappear from view. They are interesting yet far from being cheerful in appearance and being wary and suspicious by nature rarely venture about feeding boards or other similar gestures of human friendliness here. Those feeding boards are hosts to quite a number of other birds.
During a recent cold spell the chunks of suet upon them froze until even the strong and persistant beaks of the Jays could scarcely wrangle much from them. One morning the slow thumping, which was evidence of a Jay's efforts on the frozen suet, was exchanged for a more rapid staccatto and upon peering out the window a Harris Woodpecker was pounding away -- and not without renumeration for his efforts. Since then both the male and female Harris Woodpecker (the latter being conspicuous because of the lack of the red patch on the back of the head) have visited us regularly. The morning hours also bring forth a band of small birds -- probably Siskins -- that emerge from the heavy timber near the meadow about the springs. In regular formation they swing into the open area pointing their flight toward the opposite end where they wheel suddenly, their white underparts flashing in the early morning sun. Back and forth they go, always high, their thin notes barely reaching our ears, and swinging suddenly in their hectic gyrations at intervals as if by sudden command. And then, quite as suddenly, they wheel toward the timber again in whose heavy foliage they mysteriously lose themselves to sight.
On a recent trip to Bear Prarie, a few miles beyond the south boundary of the Park, several Oregon Ruffed Grouse flushed from their cover in the nearby timber. This grouse is a cousin to the Blue Grouse, so common in the sub-alpine meadows in the summer and also to the Ptarmigan whose abode is high on "The Mountain" during the summer season and who rarely ventures lower than the sub-alpine country even in severe winter weather. The nasal "Yank! Yank!" of the Nuthatch was also very much in evidence on this trip and although none were actually seen their characteristic call note gave indication of their presence. Stellar Jays are pesky things! A camera was rigged up with a string for snapping pictures of birds when they visited the feeding board. Twice these nervy Jays perched on the string -- and there by took some worthless pictures!
Our Museum library is richer to the extent of one volumn - Professor Edmund Meaney's book, "Mt. Rainier -- a Record of Exploration". This book, now out of print and very valuable, was received during the month as a gift from Mr. George B. Haynes, Passenger Traffic Manager of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. It fills a very necessary place on our reference shelves -- one that has previously been vacant. Mr. Haynes's generosity has made possible a better service, in matters historical, to visitors of Mt. Rainier National Park.

Acclaimed journalist Cathryn Jakobson Ramin takes readers on a lively journey to explain what happens to memory and attention in middle age. Along the way, she turns up fresh scientific findings, explores the dark regions of the human brain, and hears the intimate confessions of high-functioning midlife adults who—like you—want to understand exactly what's going on upstairs.
Anyone older than forty knows that forgetfulness can be unnerving, frustrating, and sometimes terrifying. With compassion and humor, Jakobson Ramin sets out to discover what midlife forgetfulness is all about—from the perspectives of physiology, psychology, and sociology. Relentless in her search for answers to questions about her own unreliable memory, she explores the factors that determine how well—or poorly—one's brain will age. She consults experts in the fields of sleep, stress, traumatic brain injury, hormones, genetics, and dementia, as well as specialists in nutrition, cognitive psychology, and the burgeoning field of drug-based cognitive enhancement. The landscape of the midlife brain is not what you might think, and to understand its strengths and weaknesses turns out to be the best way to cope.
Jakobson Ramin's reporting of the stories of a wide array of midlife men and women will resonate with readers. Her audience will glean spectacular insight into how to elicit the very best performance from a middle-aged brain. A groundbreaking work that represents the best of narrative nonfiction, this is a timely, highly readable, and much-needed book for anyone whose memory is not what it used to be.

I own one of these pc's and also fix them at work (Tech support/hardware support) and I've been pretty impressed with the quality and performance. It's ideal for browsing the internet and office work and it'll even play games so you can keep the kids entertained (Fifa 09 works a treat on my machine - although I have 1Gb ram). We've had a variety of pc's in work through-out the years and you start to notice patterns in the failings of certian model pc's, a certian branded pc came with 3rd party capacitors which were faulty, so when a fault was reported we knew straight away what the problem was. We've not had any problems with the hp dc model pc's as of yet and they've been used for over two years, my home pc has been fault free and I purchased that on the basis that they were so sturdy in work.
The HP Compaq dc7600 Business Desktop PC series combines enhanced security, performance and management tools for users demanding high performance while running multiple, CPU-intensive applications simultaneously.

Harris County officials say the 35 year old convict escaped from a facility in Houston where he was being held pending typical appeals following a trial. Officials say Thompson apparently smuggled civilian clothes he wore during a court hearing into his jail cell.
Sheriff department lieutenant John Martin says an internal investigation is reviewing security procedures.
Martin says the convict came in contact with at least three security officials as he made his way from the second floor to the public lobby. Officials say he passed himself off as an attorney.

If you're a girl, and dont give blowjobs, go ahead and curl up with your cats and your twilight dvd's... because you are going to die alone.
Donald Glover:
Most people think I'm Danny Glover's son when they meet me. So when they ask, I say 'No, I'm Crispin Glover's son.' Then we stare at each other for a long time.
Other quotes by Donald Glover
I'd much rather have AIDS than a baby... They're not that different at all. They're both expensive, you have them for the rest of your life, they're constant reminders of the mistakes you've made and once you have them, you pretty much can only date other people who have them.
An elephant never forgets, so my dick remembers everything.
Why don't women have crazy men stories? I don't really hear them. And then I realized, it's because if you got a crazy boyfriend, you're going to die. Just something about men, the second they realize they're crazy, it's like, 'Time to kill everything I love.'
Yes I'm grown and sexy, and I'm worth the wait. Girls act like I'm the only dude on earth to date.
We never went to Toys 'R' Us, we always went to fucking Auschwitz for kids - Home Depot.
It's the hand job of cereals 'cause it's like, 'This is pretty good, but you know what I really want.'
I think it's a comedian's job to make everything funny. Nothing is off-limits.
Careers very rarely are a waste of time; jobs usually are.
We're afraid to move on, that's why there's so much nostalgia on the internet... 'cause we don't wanna look forward, that's scary.

Neighbors say the recent shooting at the Wooden Indian is proof that the place needs to be shut down.
Police have been called out to the motel 109 times in the past year.
People who live around the Wooden Indian are very outspoken about the need to close the motel.
They say they see drug deals, fights, and shootings all hours of the day.
The city attorney said the city can't close the motel basically because the owner is in compliance with city ordinances.
It's the guests who usually break the law.
"Well they need to go in and clean it up that for one thing I mean not all motels are like this they need to straighten up the situation," says neighbor Star Jeziorski.
"We have a situation where we don't have current tools to take any type of drastic step to close it down or restricting the way it operates at this time," says South Bend city attorney Chuck Leone.
The city attorney says in February the Wooden Indian passed the building and fire inspections.
For the past 2 years the Wooden Indian has not been listed as one of the city's "problem properties."

She profiles the key essential oils - tea tree, manuka and thyme - covering everything from habitat, chemistry and commercial uses to the latest scientific research that proves their effectiveness against bacterial infection, and how they should be used. She also includes information about other methods that have been shown to help with the management of acute infection, including allicin from garlic, silver, manuka honey and phage therapy.

Why does the import sticker always cover the back label?
This is a common pet peeve of imported wine buyers in China. They pick up a bottle, check the back and see an import sticker that covers the label and makes it impossible to read more about the wine. Countless times I have seen someone squinting in an attempt to decipher the faintly visible tasting notes under that sticker or get frustrated while trying to (unsuccessfully) peel it.
And while I've heard people say Customs regulations dictate sticker placement, such is not the case, says Frank Yglesias of California Grapes. At his shop, no stickers cover labels.
Yglesias says the regulations dictate font sizes on a sticker but there is leeway for its shape and placement. He chooses to make and stick them so the label can be read and thus give customers more information.
I'll dig a bit more into this issue and post some examples of sticker covering labels. More soon…
Update: When I put this post up, I had already talked to another distributor who said he knew of no rule that the sticker must go over the label. Since then, I talked to yet another distributor: he said different Customs bureaus have different rules, so it is possible that some jurisdictions required putting the sticker over the label.

This appears to be an excellent cover. Well made and durable. I've got some thick foam rubber I'm going to stuff it with then use it as a crate mat. I wish they had larger ones to make a dog bed for a Lab.

Unbelievable value. Only thing I'd note is that this is a COVER and doesn't have anything in it. So, you do have to stuff it yourself. It's basically a durable, camo pillow case with a zipper.
Posted by Jerry P. Smith on 25th Feb 2014
Glad I read the reviews before purchasing. I was so impress with previous reviews, I purchased three covers for house, camp and vehicle. Sure happy I did, what a great buy.

My Brittany loves this once I added my own stuffing what a great deal
Posted by Unknown on 20th Nov 2013
The outer cover seems very durable and with the additional inner liner it made for a perfect kit. Easily stuffed to desired thickness for your animal.
Posted by Linda on 19th Nov 2013
I have had one of these covers on our dogs bed for months now and it shows no wear. It is in constant use.
Posted by Beakbuster on 2nd May 2013
Nice design, u can take out the inner pillow to wash the cover. Very useful cuz my dog gets dirty. Durable material and love the camo pattern, super great deal, thanks.

Tracking US drone strikes? Now there's an app for that
Last week, New York-based web developer Josh Begley answered that question with the launch of "MetaData+," an iPhone app that sends an alert to your phone every time the United States conducts a drone strike.
He created the app in 2012 under the original name Drones+, but Apple rejected the app five times, taking nearly two years for the app to be available to the public.
The App Review Board claimed that Begley's app was "not useful or entertaining enough" and something that "many audiences would find objectionable."
Begley even spoke with a representative from Apple on the phone, who said that if the app was about drones, it just wasn't going to be approved. Finally, after he removed the word "drone" from both the name and the description, the app was accepted.

Graham sports a number of different looks in the video, including barely-there silver shorts, a Fosse-inspired outfit, lace eyebrows and a questionable skull cap. While her dance breaks are on point and exciting, Graham's scenes with a male co-star come off as a bit awkward and unnecessary, especially with his formal suit and tie an odd match for Graham's casual look.

For any of you who were a part of the goings on at the NY Academy of Music from 1971-1975 when Howard Stein was producing concerts we recently lost a dear member of the crew.
Feb 14 2009 Harold Klein
Harold Klein was one of the theatres lighting directors from 1971-1973. He was also one of the lighting directors and videographers at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic NJ as well as the Bottom Line Caberet in NYC.
RIP my old long lost friend.
ProfJoe maybe we can not bring back the Academy from the ashes we can can use this forum to talk about our memories.
I still stand by my comments about the conversion of a 3500 seat movie/concert palace in to a disco was a crime. Consider the fact that Steve Rubell who went to jail for his shifty business dealings and tax evasion. What NYU also was a crime but then again maybe they looked at what was done to the fromer palace turned disco and didn't think it was worth saving.
I was told by some people who brought in lighting and sound gear I know who was there for some of the live shows. They told me that the place was dangerous not only for setting up sound and lighting rigs but the parts of the original walls and ceiling were severly damaged. These people also did shows in the 70's when it was still the Academy so they knew what the original interior looked like. I am one of a very few who knew what the builings interior was like behind the plaster walls and the ceiling.
For those of you that are interested in a NY Academy of Music group here you go.
My question remains, I can not believe that no one has a picture of the building (and I mean a good one)
I do appreciate your passion and love for this theater, but I would love to still have the Academy of Music with us today as a disco than as a memory. I'm happy that the Henry Hudson theater is with us today as a conference center, the Brooklyn Paramount as a gym, etc…..
Were it not for Studio 54's turn as a club for those many years, we probably would not have it today as a restored Broadway theater. Today we can hope that the Brooklyn Paramount can be restored into a theater. Without LIU it would have been demolished years ago. Today we have hope.
Had the Palladium been able to hang on just a few more years, we may have been able to save it and, perhaps, restore it as a performing arts center.
The sad reality, and it is a reality, is that it was just impossible to save all or even most of the beautiful palaces of the past. Yes, the Academy was a beautiful theater, but we lost even more beautiful ones: The Roxy, Center, the original Ziegfeld, Proctor's E. 58th St, Loews East 72nd, The Capitol, the Paramount, The Rivoli, and on and on. That is why we have to work hard to preserve the few that remain, and sometimes, that means it has to be used in a creative way.
It is a difficult process. The Loew's Kings has been decaying for three decades. The city has been trying to come up with investors for years with little success. It is not enough to say that all of these theaters must be saved. They must also be able to pay for themselves on an operating basis; especially in these tough times.
I also disagree that Cinema Treasures doesn't stand for "Great Renovations of the 20th Century" It most certainly does. The vast majority of CT members would back any restoration that brought back the beauty of the original theater whether it was used anew as a theater or not.
Yes, you may stand by your comments all you like and I value your opinion and your passion to do so.
But NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING can be seen with total objectivity by people such as me, who recall a glorious place like the Academy.
You seem to wish to "justify" the renovation. There's no need to. It's just what happened. Don't be so defensive. Yes, the Academy was crumbling, yes, it was poorly maintained, and yes, it was a mess. Bravo! Hoo-ray for your insights and observations!
They mean nothing.
But you don't seem to get that.
Nor does it seem to matter to you that this website is called, "CINEMA TREASURES: DISCOVER, PRESERVE, PROTECT," not, "GREAT RENOVATIONS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY." Maybe there's a website out there where you can share your views of the Palladium with like-minded people! I don't think this is the place. The Academy was, and will remain forever in many minds, a CINEMA TREASURE (now, a LOST Cinema Treasure).
It's about more than just the destruction of a place of beauty, however. It is about a perceived shift in culture, one that is uglier, childish, and at the same time vulgar. And this new, youth-oriented, peurile culture has virtually completely usurped all that has come before. So the memory of the Academy is not simply that of a revered and much loved building shared by BOTH adults and the young, but a symbol of a society that no longer exists—one I found more civilized and far more adult.
I stand by my comments that the Palladium was a fantastic and creative re-use of a faded movie palace. It allowed it to exist for a decade longer before finally succumbing to NYU. Had it not been for the Palladium, I and tens of thousands of others would not have had the opportunity to have seen this spectacular theater at all. So, yes, the success of the renovation is extremely relevant.
p.s. the Academy of Music did need to be cleaned up. It was a mess from its decades of neglect as it turned from an movie palace to a faded concert hall with minimal maintenance and cleaning. As The Palladium, it once again became a first class venue; one that the entire country saw weekly as the setting for one of MTV's popular Video shows back in the 80's.
I can find hundreds of articles from the "free" press that will extol ANYTHING done for the sake of increased real estate values or apologizing for the destruction of true landmarks. (I think of the virtual cheers of "bravo" when the a house that E.A. Poe once lived in was torn down by the great-and-all-powerful-all-seeing NYU, as an example. You would think the site was a toxic waste dump and had to be destroyed or cleaned up.)
The "success" of the renovation is irrelevant. What was LOST is what at issue here and what many of us mourn.
Hi ECR, the success of the "renovation" of the Academy of Music into the Palladium is obviously open to interpretation, but I and, I believe, most others felt it was beautiful. So did a review by the esteemed New York Times architecture critic Paul Goldberger who said "It could almost be dismissed as a cynical exploitation of architecture's current trendiness – if the results were not so truly excellent!" I have pasted the entire review in a prior post above.
The Academy of Music was decayed and in terrible shape when the Palladium conversion occurred and the architect wisely made the decay part of the new design. This theater was adaptively reused and lasted for almost a decade more than it otherwise might have. I have many wonderful memories at the Palladium and I will never forgive NYU for tearing down this beauty.
I know that is something we can both agree on! :–)
What happened to that building after Ron Delsener stopped doing shows there was a crime. What was done to the inside would have made Thomas Lamb roll over in his grave. That is like comparing Mona Lisa to a finger painting done by Mrs. Jones per schoolers. They got to do something in that buliding that they din't do to Studio 54 and that was to destroy it from the inside. I was at Studio 54 in 1989 when it had then become The RITZ after John Scher left the other Ritz AKA Webster Hall. With the exception of having a level floor with no seats the Ritz/54 interior was still in tact. The Academy/Palladium was destroyed. The original stage was made a storage area anda deck was built pver it. When I came down there back in the mid 80's I looked through what used to be the load in door and I could not see any of the audiance area. Yes Thomas Lamb who built this theatre is the one and the same that built the Ridgewood that we all talk about so much and is on it's way to possible landmark status. To me what Steve Rubell and his Studio 54 flunkies did to the Academy is like taking a thing of beauty and desicrating it. Although there is some present cotriversy going on with the Loews Paradise in the Bronx lots of care and $25 million restored it to it's former beautey minus the Robert-Morgan "Wonder Organ" which now sits in the Loew's Jersey Theatre in Journal Square in Jersey City New Jersy. Thankfully the Mighty Wurlitzer that was in the Academy was removed in 1976 and is still operating at a privat residence.
I was working the AWB/Wishbone Ash concert back then. Altough some people considered the Academy a dump it was far from it. I must have made a couple of hundred dollars and a few doobies just by looking on the floor between the seats. Just like any other theather people would dump their drinks and whatver other stuff on the floor. The major difference between a normal movie screening and a live concert is that most if not all the concerts were sold out and with 3500 seats thats a good deal of trash generated. The cleaning crews for the Academy were hired by the local manager Gus Bavianni. He knew he needed more help but didn't want to spend the money. However if there was a show on Friday the dumpsters in the alley on Saturday were overflowing. During the week when they used to show movies. On those days Sundays-Thursdays I don't think there were more then a couple of hundred people who attended and the balconies were closed. During that time there was only one guy there to clean up the theatre and he would mops up different sections of the orchestra section so come Friday morings the flors were clean and not sticky.
When Ron Delsener took over the building and named it the palladium United Artists TC had nothing to do with the building any more and Ron had to hire his own cleaning crews. 3500 people can make a mess of any place.
As to Trader Joes. I wish they would open one near me. The closest TJ's to me is over 30 miles from me.
I truly wish that you worked in the building. That would mean it was still there. Trader Joe's has adaptively resused an old Banking Hall in Brooklyn keeping the overall architectural integrity of the building. Alas, the Academy of Music was demolished by NYU and the retail space leased, in turn, by Trader Joe's.
I would also love to see a picture of the Academy, especially late sixties, early seventies. I grew up in the East Village and had the chance to patronize both the Academy and the Fillmore East when they were still movie theatres. My first rock concert was at the Academy in 1974(Average White Band opening for Wishbone Ash). Ironically, I spend all my days in the building now as I work for Trader Joes.
From the time I was attending shows at the Academy starting in the winter of 1971 they were all Ticketron issued tickets. Ticketbastard started out years later and eventually took over Ticketron.
As I was going through some of the older postings and came across a reference to the NY Dolls. I went to youtube and found this video clip. It's about 10 minutes long but mid way there is a scene where the band is rolling down 14th street on a VW Bug and stops in front of the Academy. The clip is in B&W and grainy so it was hard to read what was on the marguee.
Memories is all thats left
Does anyone have some pictures of the Academy inside or out other then the 2 that Warren has up from way back when. More like from the mid to late 60's prior to the Palladium changeover
Around 1970, Ticketron or Ticket Master rolled out the first nationwide electronic ticket service. Each venue took it upon themselves to decide if they would use Ticketron style tickets, or continue to have their tickets custom printed. Bill Graham used custom tickets up to and including the final show at the Fillmore East. However In all my years going to the Academy of Music (starting in 1971), I only recall the electronic ticket. Does anyone know if Howard Stein ever used custom tickets for the Academy?
By the way, I have a custom tickets from Howard Stein's Capitol Theater in Portchester (perforated) as well as a custom perforated one from Gaelic Park. I also have the unperforated ticket from Gaelic Park.
Here's more on the 1990 slaying at the Palladium: View link
Eighteen years later, this Palladium murder still haunts the victim's family: View link
I remember seeing something that looked like a ticket but I can't recall what it said and when Ron Delsener took over the building he had it painted over with a mural.
Hello again.
Again, I am asking if anyone knows of any photos of the front facade of the Academy of Music. As I remember it (from the 60's) there was a huge painted sign reading:
and in smaller letters (perhaps on a banner)
Anyone else remember this?

Tom Drewke and Spotone please contact me or
Thanks, Michael
and the Commodore and The Forum and Proctor's 58th Street and The Center and the list goes on and on and on.
I know full well that not all theaters can be saved. New York, which arguably, had the greatest collection of quality movie palaces ever built had so many that they just couldn't all be saved.
I agree that landmarking would have saved some but not all. Owners can can claim financial hardship and override landmarking. Nonetheless, I am happy that we have as many left as we do: Loews's 175th Street, Radio City, The Hollywood, The New Amsterdam, The Beacon, The Palace, The Ziegfeld, The Paris and that's just in Manhattan.
The sad reality is that there is no way all of those theaters that we lost could have been adaptively resused. It's sad but true, so we have to try to save the best of them and we have had some success and many failures. I mourn the loss of Roxy, Capitol, Rivoli and Center most of all. Those should have been saved. I feel that The Ziegfeld should be landmarked as soon as it is eligible.

The process of an eye exam.
The process of an eye exam consists of various steps such as:
The patient is given a cataract and glaucoma evaluation (these exams are computerized) the optometrist will inform you, in that instant, if there is an existence of either of these ailments.
Afterwards, the patient will be sent to the exam room where the optometrist will do a personalized eye exam.
Also, it is good to mention that there will not be any type of medication used to dialate your pupils.
Our motto is honesty, you can rest assured that when the eye exam has concluded, the optometrist will let you know if you really need glasses, If you need to see an ophthalmologist or if your vision is in good condition. Our interest in you is also as a patient, not just business.
It is important to check your vision with frequency, it is recommended to have an eye exam yearly, that way you can have a record of your vision.
All eye exams performed in Algodones Optical have a full guarantee for the next 3 months after the date of the exam.
