I've seen my fiance for 3 years now drinking like there's no tomorrow.
He's got different friends he drinks with. Some of them are thugs. He doesn't listened to me or his mom. We're just nothing, I mean nothing to him but a piece of rubbish. Lately every Monday he does not go to work because he's drunk. During weekends he does not sleep at all til Sunday around 11 pm. I'm deadly tired of everything he does and I won't be able to assist him because he gets angry whenever I start a conversation.
There is no communication at all between us.
I am not sure I should even comment here, as I divorced my husband of 14 years due to his progressive alcoholism. I say progressive because he was not an alcoholic when I married him in my late 20's. Weekends of BBQ's and drinking with friends – social occasions that are normal for that age range. It was only after the birth of our first, second and third child that his drinking became progressively worse – more frequent, weekdays, weeknights. Verbal abuse was rampant by him and by me in my defense. I did not learn to walk away from a fight until he got physical a couple of times. Then I did walk away in tears every time. I felt ashamed, belittled, weak. But I knew I was strong inside, but he chipped away at that time and time again. Our fights would escalate, then deflate, then silent treatment. The next day, no apologies, no discussions, no make-up sex. Nothing. This went on for years. Just swept under the rug.
To say my beloved home was toxic, then loving, then toxic is an understatement. We hid it well from friends and family. Still the picture of a perfect family unit for years. Then he began to start fights with me in front of family. Eventually, we sold the house and he moved out of state. I was absolutely fine with that arrangement. I moved in with my folks, as the kids were still in school. I was emotionally scarred from all the verbal abuse so I sought verbal abuse counseling at a domestic violence center in my area. I was beyond how it looked anymore. I needed serious counseling to remember myself. I also went to church often as well. I did this for 2 years.
This separation lasted 4 years. I continued to visit him with the kids for summers and winters but he never once agreed to counseling or AA. He wanted a divorce but refused to initiate. Eventually, I did initiate it and saw it through. I have been divorced for 3 years now. He moved back to my area last year but is not the verbally abusive person towards me anymore. I think a lot of time has gone by and even he recognizes what he did to me, to us. Total separation was about 6 years before he moved back here.
Today, we are friends at arm's length. He sees the children, who are now teenagers. He has been to detox and rehab for himself and for the first time has broken down in tears and admitted the pain of losing me, the house, our life together. I still don't trust him but will be supportive if he continues with AA and an outpatient program. However, I will never take him back. I am not emotionally safe with such a loose cannon.
I don't regret divorcing him. I was miserable, emotionally hurt all of the time. I could not be the best parent I knew I could be to my 3 beautiful children. He was dragging me down and using me as a target for his verbal backlash. That is no way to live life on this earth. I remember what it feels like when I was younger to be loved and adored. I am still young – late 40's. I deserve so much more from a partner.
Alcoholism is a disease and until the person wants to help him/herself, hit rock bottom, there is nothing you can do. My ex-husband hit rock bottom by losing his job and then checked himself into detox and then a residential treatment program. By the time he did this, 20 years had gone by since I first got together with him.
Sadly, alcoholism and drug addiction are rampant and if not addressed properly, the next generation of family will repeat the same behaviors.
I've been married for 8 years and he was sober for 12 months. He was on a trip from work, didn't call me all day, not even his kids. When I called him at 10:00 pm, he sounded different and I noticed he sounded drunk. I asked him and he didn't deny it.
I feel sad, angry and I can't trust him anymore. I don't know what to do. I love him very much. He is a good father, but sucks as a husband. I don't know what to do anymore!
I have been going to Al-Anon for 2 months now to try to change my attitude about my husband's alcoholism and behaviour associated with it.
It impacts my home and environment greatly in that I feel I have no stability, no home due to the chaos and confusion. I believe I am sicker than he is due to the shame, guilt, repulsion, anger, and dissapointment that lives within me. After a night filled with drama, none of it he can remember, I told him how I felt after shaming comments he made to me. It did not go over well and he decided to focus on one thing in my comments that he took exception to.
I have systematically decreased exposure to him when he is apt to drink and behave badly.
No more:
going on all-inclusive vacations or cruises
camping with our friends
going to conferences together
going out to friends' houses unless he decides not to drink
sleeping in the same bed after he has behaved badly and is drunk
renting movies because he drinks so much that the movie must be paused frequently so that he can go to the bathroom and also get another drink, etc.
I figure that I am alone anyway when he is drinking; he's in his own little world, meeting his own needs, and is unable to connect with me in a meaningful way.
On the bad side, I'm also suffering and not enjoying all the good social things that I could be enjoying. I'm still on Step One and I do hope I can get a change in attitude soon. He is a wonderful man whom I love to be with when he is sober. He is worth it and I'm leaving it to my higher power to hopefully intervene and nudge him toward sobriety. I am hopeful still, but I don't know if we can endure the insanity on both sides.
The podcast was helpful. However, the individuals did not say the actions they took to deal with verbal abuse, despite saying they wouldn't tolerate it.
I found out after we were married that my husband is a dry drunk and we are living separately. He has changed since we got married. He is always blaming others for his problems and so angry all the time. We had an argument which led to him screaming, cursing and demeaning me. I warned him that I won't tolerate the verbal abuse any longer.
I set boundaries that he must work on his issues, specifically his anger issues if there is to be any possible future for us. I have lost my trust in him and do not feel safe. So far he has done little to work on his anger and refuses to accept he is an alcoholic/addict and this is influencing his attitudes. I will protect myself with healthy boundaries, which are not ultimatums. I know ultimatums are looked at in Al-Anon as controlling behavior but this is different. My boundaries are for my own protection and not an effort to control him.
I have placed a boundary up for my safety–address your anger issues in measureable, action-based ways (whether it's reopening his mental-health case or whatever). I need to be sure I will not be abused by him if he comes home.
I have been in verbally abusive relationships with other alcoholics and I will not remain in one and allow myself to get abused once more. I fought too hard to regain my self-esteem and I have my own sobriety of 23 years to protect. I love him, but there are some people that constitutionally can't get honest. It is his path to walk and he must walk it, whether it's with or without me.
I have been married for just over 3 years. My husband has parents, a brother, and a sister, who are all functioning alcoholics. Before we got married, I asked if he had a problem, which he said no, just a very social drinker. Found out he is a full-blown alcoholic.
It wasn't noticeable until a year ago when his dad died. Up and down mood swings, drinking vodka from the bottle before going to work–and everybody thinks he's just the sweetest, most gentle person around–well, unfortunately they don't live with him. Mood swings, up and down, verbally abusive to me, calling me stupid and low-down foul names, belittling me. Then he passes out and in the morning it's like nothing happened.
The other day I went out of town for a few hours and he called to ask where I was. I told him and said I'd be home in an hour or so. Arrived home to find him furious that I took so long, said I must have driven slow on purpose, went on to berate me and said to get on my knees and apologize for lying to him. Even when I break down crying, nothing phases him. Yesterday morning was up-and-down mood swings, then mid-afternoon he was saying he was going to commit suicide, said I was to blame, said that I would have to live with that. Tried talking to him, but everything I said or did was wrong–couldn't help him see how much I loved him.
Last night he moved all his things downstairs and was moving out/then talking suicide. Called his family to say goodbye and that he was committing suicide and it was all my fault for being so stupid. This is a man who is 57 years old and has a good heart when sober. He was getting verbally abusive and confrontational, and I asked him to leave and said he wouldn't. Said I needed to call 911 if I wanted to get him out. I did and he was furious, telling me to hang up the phone. When I got off the phone he said, "This is it, I'm killing myself tonight." He ran downstairs with me behind him yelling at him to stop, he ran into the garage and tried closing the door–he grabbed a blowtorch and was trying to get the torch close to his face. Where my strength came from I don't know, but I pulled it from his hands. Then he proceeded to grab a spike tool and was trying to stab his head.
I am so emotionally drained and exhausted. The police came and by that time he had calmed down and told the police that he had been having issues with me because I was too emotional lately, and he had been having problems with me–so many lies being married to an alcoholic! I am not into drama, I work in health-care and am so done now. This is the third time in 1 1/2 months that I have had to call the police and it's the last time. I love him, but not his behavior when he's drinking, and not his addiction.
I deserve better in life–dreaming of coming home to a quiet house, with no issues of walking on eggshells, no worrying about what mood he is going to be in, no verbal abuse of how terrible and stupid a person I am. I have a nursing career, but belittles me on that also. A person deserves a life of happiness, of tranquility and joy–I'm getting none of those.
As hard as it is to see him leave, and I will miss him on many levels, had so many good times, but the bad are outing the good now–he needs help! He has to come to realize that and make changes, and that we can't be living in the same household while he does that. I'll be there for him, but at a distance. Not going to miss the smell of vodka or sherry anymore–or his cigars that went with it. He always denies that he drinks, always has ginger ale around, but have found stashes in his garage, and a full bottle of vodka is gone in a few hours. I'm tired of living like this. I deserve so much more.
I've been in a relationship with an alcoholic for the last 3 years and today I say I don't want it anymore. The disease has caused me to lose self-confidence, because he is verbally abusive. I love this man, but I can't keep putting my kids and my own future at risk because of this man's addiction. It's a very unhealthy relationship being with an alcoholic.
My husband is drinking again. He managed to stay sober for 3 years. I am so sad. I was just starting to feel in love again. He says it was just tonight, but I know what happens next–drugs, more booze, and verbal abuse. I am going to be packing my bags and leaving as soon as he falls asleep. I will be closing the door to my home and my 28 years of marriage. I just can't forgive anymore.
I was in a relationship with an alcoholic 30 years ago for 7 years. I never drink. My 20's were ruined by this man. I saw it go from 6 beers to 12 a day. I can't even stand the sound of a can being opened (even if it's a soda). It's so much better to be alone than in the web of an alcoholic.
I have been married 7 years and for the last 5 it has been a tremendous roller coaster. He has been to 8 inpatient treatments and sober living for 3.5 months. Every single time he has immediately relapsed, either at the airport on his way home or the day after. He has been to countless detox's and still manages to get so dependent on alcohol almost immediately. He has done so many reckless things, the list goes on.
He is only 33 years old and as of last year had stage-1 cirrhosis. The doctor said if he continued to drink he would have 1-5 years left to live. This is a severely addicted man with no end in sight. We have a 2 and 4-year-old and for the last 3 years I have been the sole provider for our whole family. We have lived apart for the past 3 months and the chaos got even worse.
I have decided that I am moving out of our family home because he uses it to dangle over my head. I feel I'm being held hostage because of the house. Thankfully after years of tears and stress I was able to see a way out. I finally got my own house and the kids and I will be moving.
He is currently in the hospital with a severe infection from an incident while drunk. I have been going to see him daily and brought the kids to see him yesterday. I felt I owed the kids a sober visit with their father.
He was being ok the first few days then he started being mean from what I assume is active withdraw. Why am I upset about this? I am the one who finally had the courage to move out and this is all my decision. Why does it hurt when he says for me to stay away? I still care for him as I understand he is a very ill man. Still, this is a very hard situation to deal with. I hope what I'm doing is right.
I am married to an alcoholic who binge-drinks every week and becomes violent. I am tired of him saying to me that this is his last time and he will never do it again.
I feel helpless and angry.
I'm a 22-year-old with a 4-year-old and another one on the way. My husband began drinking daily a little over a year ago. I am not a drinker.
Once the drinking started nothing seemed to change, then we started fighting more. The last six months have been nothing but daily fights and inappropriate behavior. Leaving me to feel like I have some kind of problem, or as if I am doing something wrong.
Last night he landed himself in jail, and I hated him. Then he calls with promises of a better relationship, more involved parenting, working a program–I want to believe it, but I feel I'm just gearing up for another battle. One I don't want to have again.
My cross-addicted partner, alcoholic, took an overdose three weeks ago. I called the ambulance service when he told me what he had done and he ended up in hospital. Hours later and after psychological assessment he was discharged and wanted to come home with me because he felt safe here. However, his suicidal thoughts have predominated since and although not drinkingsince–I have strong boundaries about his drinking in my home–his behaviour has taken on that of a dry drunk–rude, abusive, angry etc.
He took himself off yesterday to see his adult children and has apparently been telling them what belongings he wants them to have after he dies. I know he is drinking again as he told me so when we spoke on the phone this evening. I have notified his mental health support of all this but it seems nothing can be done. He is an adult and has choices.
I am in the the unenviable position of "damned if i do and damned if I don't!" It's a case of "heads he wins, tails I lose." He is returning here on Friday supposedly. I could of course say no to that. We watched "When Love Is Not Enough," the story of Bill and Lois W. I thought it wonderful. He said that it was rubbish. Enough said!
I have been married 23 years. Husband drinks 12-20 every day. I'm tired. He is up and down and up and down. Nice/happy but manic/ then angry/sullen/argumentative. I wish he would hit me so I could say that's it.
I am so tired of the drama and the waiting for shoe to drop and hoping things will be somehow different. The other day he said he was going to start a program to stop drinking–with our pastor. It made me mad because I cannot muster up the appropriate behavior (supportive compassionate) because I doubt his sincerity. I look like a bad person. He pretended to have withdrawal symptoms in front of me/parents and pastor—and then the next day I found 15 cans in recycling bin. He hadn't even stopped. I addressed this with him after I found them and he got angry.
I'm tired. My grown son told me yesterday that he wanted me to leave 3 years ago. This was a surprise to me because I have only recently started to let myself acknowledge what a huge problem this really is.

Conference Overview
The current additive manufacturing (AM) supply chain is not as evolved as it may seem. It is underdeveloped, and in some cases, almost non-existent. This immaturity could present opportunities, but also major challenges for companies hoping to adopt AM for series production. In fact, the demand for quality materials, machines, and certified suppliers could exceed the supply. Another serious consideration is post-processing, such as the removal of support material and heat treatment, which requires special processes and expertise, and can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Companies are also questioning whether the necessary design tools and designers are available to drive the use of AM for production applications. Without fresh thinking, better software tools, and the use of automation to reduce labor, companies may find it difficult to justify the use AM for series production. As organizations dig deeper into all that it takes to produce quality parts by AM, they will find that the technology is merely one step in a sequence that can include nearly every process imaginable.
Attend this event to discover how individuals and organizations around the world will be impacted by the quickly evolving additive manufacturing and 3D printing supply chain.

From one fight to the nextMarch 08,2013Unable to stop the sequesters job-killing spending cuts, President Barack Obama now says he wants to move past the endless wars of budget attrition. Though he still wants a long-term deficit deal, he said last week, it is time to turn to immigration, gun control, universal preschool, a higher minimum wage and voting reform.
But Republicans are not going to allow that pivot. Most are unalterably opposed to all of those initiatives, and want to keep their focus on cutting domestic programs and fighting off tax increases. At a time when Republicans are divided on many social issues, the budget wars are one of the few things that unite them.
A variety of insidious new budget proposals are now emerging from the House. On Wednesday, by a 267-151 vote, the House approved a stopgap spending resolution to keep the government running for the last half of the fiscal year, replacing the one that expires March 27.
Such continuing resolutions, which fund the government at the previous years level, demonstrate Congress inability to do its most basic job of making spending decisions. But this new resolution is worse because it also includes the sequesters brutal cuts except in a few crucial areas that are Republican priorities.
The House bill would give the Pentagon a brand-new budget, allowing it to make the cuts in low-priority areas, preventing the reductions in military readiness that generals have been warning about. It prevents staffing cuts in the Border Patrol, and adds money for Israel and embassy security. It makes health care reform a target for special cuts, and even specifies that no money is to be spent on the community group known as ACORN, though that group has not existed since 2010.
But it allows no flexibility or extra money to prevent cuts to programs like unemployment benefits, nutrition aid, housing assistance and education grants. Republicans do not care about those programs and left the sequester cuts in place for them. Simple fairness demands that Senate Democrats call for equal flexibility and money for the most important domestic programs in their version of the bill, as Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, the new Appropriations Committee chairwoman, has vowed to do. (Obama already said that he would not use the threat of a government shutdown to fight the sequester cuts, rejecting the extortionate tactics Republicans regularly use.)
The Republicans have made it clear that the spending fight will never cease. They havent promised not to abuse the next debt-ceiling increase, necessary in the next few months, to get further cuts. And Paul Ryan, the House Budget Committee chairman, will soon unveil his caucuss 2014 budget, which will start to make good on the partys ruinous plan to balance the budget in 10 years. To do so, he is reviving his discredited proposal to turn Medicare into a voucher program, and considered making it worse by cutting benefits for people who are now 56 and younger; an earlier plan cut benefits for those 55 and below.
Republicans are hoping to wear down their opposition with these eternal battles. But their proposals are too dangerous to allow that to happen.

A little wide for my taste, but comes with all the tools you may need. Feels very rigid, but the tools can be a little short in length depending on the situation. Nice case.

Your eligibility for student funding depends on variables including the subject and award level of the course you are taking, your residency status, where you live in term time and your household income.
Many of the financial support options require you to hold an offer of a place to study at Nottingham before you can make an application for funding. It is therefore highly recommended that you begin the application process in time to meet the funding deadlines.
Students across our University are benefitting from scholarships, bursaries, and prizes thanks to the support of our donors.
A brief guide to University of Nottingham and external sources of funding, including scholarships, studentships and bursaries.
At undergraduate level fees do not have to be paid upfront and the University provides a genero us package of bursaries to support home students from lower-income families. Well over a third of our students will be eligible for our core bursaries, which offer up to £3,000 for each year of undergraduate study.
The University of Nottingham offers a wide range of bursaries and scholarships to help students from lower-income backgrounds with the cost of university. These bursaries are non-repayable and open to all students of 'home' fee status liable for the £9,000 tuition fee and not in receipt of a bursary from outside the University.
University of Nottingham Bursaries and Scholarships
The majority of postgraduate students in the UK fund their own studies, often from a package made up of personal savings, parental loans or contributions, bank loans and support from a trust or charity.
However, financial support and competitive scholarships and studentships are available and we encourage applicants to explore all funding opportunities at least a year in advance of the start date.
As an international student, you can take advantage of one of the UK's largest scholarship portfolios. For information on scholarships, fees and finance for international student, please visit the International Office Website.
Overseas students can also apply for a Vice Chancellor's Scholarship for Research Excellence (International), which pays tuition fees for a full-time research degree programme (PhD or MPhil) at Nottingham.
The three largest churches in the city of Nottingham offer choral scholarships for students of all award levels and disciplines.
Funding for postgraduate students are split into the following sections:
The University of Nottingham is the lead institution for the Midlands3Cities Doctoral Training Partnership.
M3C DTP is a collaboration between the universities of Nottingham, Nottingham Trent, Leicester, De Montfort, Birmingham and Birmingham City, and is awarding 410 PhD Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) studentships for study over a five year period commencing 2014. The DTP provides UK/EU research candidates with cross-institutional mentoring, expert supervision including cross-institutional supervision where appropriate, subject-specific and generic training, and professional support in preparing for a career.
Supervision areas for University of Nottingham M3C DTP students
Applications for 2015 are now open: deadline 14 January 2015.

These awards are available to outstanding students from the UK and EU who wish to pursue a Masters degree (MA or MRes) at the University of Nottingham in any area of the Arts and Humanities and areas eligible for AHRC funding in Law and Social Sciences.Midlands3Cities Nottingham
Midlands3Cities Masters studentships are intended to prepare students for doctoral study so it is crucial that applicants make a clear case for how the Masters will lead to an intended PhD programme. Awards will cover the University of Nottingham tuition fee and provide a stipend of £8,400. They do not guarantee subsequent doctoral funding, for which a separate application must be made.

Today is tax day. A very depressing day for many – so what better way to make it through the day than by indulging in some chocolate?!?! I have come to appreciate that most every culture has their version and interpretation of chocolate cake. And why not? I've never run across someone who dislikes chocolate, so it only makes sense that chocolate cake would be internationally embraced. This Moroccan cake is dense with a different taste than a traditional American chocolate cake. I like to dust mine with powdered sugar and add some strawberries. It would be good with whipped cream or even cinnamon sprinkled on top.
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 c sugar
- 1 c melted butter
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups organic whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla (you could use any flavor- i use almond often)
- 1/2 c dark chocolate cocoa powder
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a baking pan with butter, I use a bundt pan but any pan will really work.
- Beat eggs, sugar, and butter with an electric mixer until it begins to foam
- Add dry ingredients as well as milk and vanilla.
- Continue beating until very smooth.
- Pour into pan and bake until the cakes starts to pull from the edges and an inserted knife comes out clean (40-50 minutes).
- Allow to cool and then decorate to your liking.

As stated the bodies decay releases gas over time causing a body to float due to it being less dense than the water, the body will float faster in the sea as the salt water is denser so the density difference is much closer so it takes less time, science(Atheists) 1, christians 0, please correct the score sir.

....no. More often then not you release the air in your lungs when you die. You never have any air left in your lungs when you drown....that is kind of the idea of drowning. Because of this your body will actually sink and stay sunk for several days before floating again. It floats because when a body decays it releases a gas....as we all now gasses are less dense then liquid, so the body floats. I believe the gas is nitrogen, but don't take my word for it.

James Franco: 'I Wish I Was Gay'
Speaking with The Daily Beast, the This Is the End actor says that he takes any questions swirling around his sexuality as a compliment.
"I was like, 'Great! Bring on the gay jokes!' because these aren't insults at all," he tells the publication in reference to his recent Comedy Central roast. "I don't even care if people think I'm gay, so it was like, 'Awesome!' I mean, I wish I was … I wish I was gay."
"My relationship with my public image over the past four or five years has just become weirder and weirder, because I look at it and it's me, and it's not me, so if other people want to use that for their own purposes or needs, I'm fine with it."
The actor, who played gay characters in both 2008's Milk and 2010's Howl, adds that he didn't want any of his friends to hold back during his roast.
"I didn't tell anyone that there was anything that's out of bounds," he says. "So if I look at that, it's that people maybe think I'm gay, they didn't like my performance at the Oscars, and they think I'm very into myself … and I squint a lot."

text: Hamas Allows Fatah Anniversary Rally in Gaza Print article Send a Tip from AFP 4 Jan 2013 post a comment Tens of thousands of supporters of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas's Fatah party rallied in Hamas-ruled Gaza on Friday in the climax to the party's first anniversary celebrations in the territory since 2007. The event came at the end of a week of festivities in Gaza celebrating 48 years since Fatah took up arms. Demonstrators waved Palestinian and Fatah flags, and carried pictures of Abbas at the rally which was organised with the blessing of Hamas as part of reconciliation efforts, an AFP correspondent reported. "This crowd is a vote in favour of (Abbas's) Palestinian Authority and shows that Fatah is still out in front," local Fatah leader Selim al-Zaraei told AFP. The centrepiece of the event was to be a speech by Abbas from his West Bank headquarters in Ramallah, beamed to the crowd on giant screens. That was to be followed by a speech by senior Fatah official Nabil Shaath, who travelled to Gaza from the the West Bank for the event. He was to be followed by Hamas official Rawhi Mushtaha, who was to speak in the name of all the Palestinian factions. Several thousand supporters gathered on Monday night at the Saraya complex in Gaza City, holding pictures of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Abbas, and waving Fatah flags as fireworks went off, an AFP correspondent said. Similar events took place across the Gaza Strip. Hamas and Fatah have been at loggerheads since the Islamist movement seized control of Gaza in June 2007, following its victory in Palestinian parliamentary elections the previous year. Under Egyptian mediation, the two groups reached a unity agreement in April 2011, although it has so far not been implemented. The anniversary commemorates the first operation against Israel claimed by Fatah's armed wing, then known as Al-Assifa (The Thunderstorm in Arabic), on January 1, 1965.

Store Swag: Shops That Offer Freebies
The free gift with purchase has been tempting shoppers since, like, forever. After all, who doesn't love to get the most for their money?
But there is something even better: the elusive in-store freebie. Whether it's in the form of a complimentary beverage, beauty treatment or reusable tote, here are seven shops that offer their valued customers a little something extra. There may be no such thing as a free lunch, but hey—we'll take a free whiskey on the rocks any day.
We love this Tel Aviv-based bath and body shop for its deliciously-scented soaps and lotions. In addition to the soap samples handed out at the door, every single customer who enters a Sabon boutique is treated to a mini hand scrub treatment using the scented products of their choice. A mini spa experience, completely gratis? We're in.
Earnest Sewn
Earnest Sewn makes some of the best-fitting denim available. And in the back of their freestanding shops, they've got a bar stocked with coffee drinks and pay-what-you-wish artisanal beers. So you can sip while you zip.
Billy Reid
Legend has it that this CFDA winner once doled out fried chicken at his various boutiques. Luckily, shoppers can still imbibe free whiskey while they sift through Reid's suiting separates and rugged footwear for guys and girls.
Free People
The easy, breezy store known for its bohemian-style wares doesn't package customer's purchases in just any ordinary shopping bag. No, they opt for patterned cross-body carryalls that can easily be repurposed as beach bags, bookbags or even yard garlands (if you're crafty).
The editor-loved cosmetics company is famously generous when it comes to free samples. Online shoppers can choose any three mini-products with their purchase. In-store, the sky's generally the limit. And in our experience, Kiehl's staffers are often more than happy to hand out samples of anything you'd like to test-drive—even if you don't actually buy anything.
The Webster
This Miami Beach shopping mainstay is packed with labels like Balmain, Lanvin and Suno. They even have a capsule collection with Target in the works. And on a recent visit to their store, our own Ray Siegel was offered complimentary mojitos while she browsed. What more could a shopper ask for?
OK, so it's not quite the same as booze or free bags—but Uniqlo's offered free in-store tailoring and alterations with any purchase since Day One. And when you couple that with their very reasonable prices and uber-soft cashmere, it's definitely reason to stop by.

Welcome to Thomson Resources
News: Thomson Resources is one of the successful applicants for grants under the New Frontiers Co-operative Drilling Scheme. The grants are for drilling at the Cuttaburra and Mt Jacob Projects. See map of successful applicants for NSW cooperative drilling program.
Thomson Resources Ltd (ASX: TMZ) is an Australian exploration company focussed on the discovery and development of high quality mineral deposits in NSW and in particular the unexplored Thomson Fold Belt in the west of the state.
Thomson has discovered multiple Intrusion-Related Gold (gold +/- bismuth, copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum, tungsten) systems in the Thomson Fold Belt, a region of deformed and intruded sediments and volcanics thought to be the under-cover, unexplored northern extension of one of Australia's premier metalliferous mining districts, the Lachlan Fold Belt.
Three are considered to be particularly prospective (F1, Cuttaburra A and B). TMZ has a dominant tenement position in this new mineral belt which has had minimal, but very encouraging, exploration so far.
Cuttaburra A and B, have yielded high grade intercepts; demonstrating for the first time that these systems have the potential to host economic deposits. The high grades were in a range of commodities in different combinations: up to 3.7 g/t Au, 113 g/t Ag, 4.2% zinc, 0.5% copper, 1.8% lead, 0.8% tin and 0.6% tungsten. At F1, Thomson has intersected granite at shallow depths for the first time; with anomalous tungsten, molybdenum and gold.
Thomson considers that it has proven its basic exploration model: that magnetic anomalies under cover in NW NSW in the Thomson Fold Belt are associated with base and precious metals mineralised systems. Overall, nine of the most prominent magnetic anomalies, widely separated over a distance of 150km, have been tested so far with eight positive results. This is a remarkable strike rate.
Thomson has also recently identfied tin-tungsten prospects on its ground. At Wilgaroon a single deep hole, drilled in 1996 but never followed up, yielded 250m of anomalous tin-tungsten mineralisation, with individual metres up to 2.5% tin and 1.4% tungsten.
Recently Thomson has acquired from Newmont Exploration an advanced VMS (lead-zinc-silver-copper-gold) project in central NSW as well as a tin-copper skarn and gold project near Kempsey.

I was somewhat disappointed at how the last quarter of Episode 3 was handled; where you are introduced to Omid & Christa. Doug (the comic relief) had just died, and Lily (the well-intentioned bitch; in my own personal opinion) had been left behind - these two new characters came off as replacements to me.
I didn't like them much throughout Episode Four.
But when I played Episode Five on the night of release and got to the part where you hold back the horde on the mansion landing after cocking your guns, I just seemed to let my hate go - Eff it.
They had only known Lee for just more than a day, and yet they had his back.
In hindsight, I can't believe how prejudiced I was.
Same thing with Chuck in 4 - When I first met him, I thought he was a paedophile, but he turned out to be a Drifter with a heart of gold.
Anyone else had a similar experience in regard to these unique characters?

Antiwar Dissent & Peace Activism in American during World War I
Presented by Scott H. Bennett, Professor of History, Georgian Court University, author of Antiwar Dissent & Peace Activism In America During World War I: A Documentary Reader (2014).
World War I was a watershed in modern world history. On the battlefield, millions were slaughtered by newly mechanized warfare: chemicals, machine guns, massive artillery. On the home front, the war led to an important American peace movement and increasing American isolationism.
This talk will examine a broad range of antiwar sentiment, opposition, and resistance: religious and secular, liberal and radical, pacifist and non-pacifist; along with a look at wartime conscientious objection and the postwar humanitarian pursuit of peace through the League of Nations.
Monday, Nov. 3, from 7 – 8:30 PM

Just did another IDPA this morning - what a blast.
Wish I could find the patience to describe the various stages but - with one we had to open a door and engage a trolley target that travelled fast - no shooting after it stopped either. Then we have bobbers and those activated by poppers sometimes.
One stage was from a vehicle - very challenging too. It is always a game for me but one which sharpens my skills nonetheless .... I only really compete against myself and all the time I share space with some great guys.
I think most shoots turn out to be not much over 100 rounds .... tho on Vickers stages I do get ''generous'' sometimes and use a few extra rounds

I've been trying for almost a month to get one of the local Safety Officers to schedule an orientation so I can go to a match and do more then twiddle my thumbs, and I've been unsuccessful so far.
My club currently shoots according to IPSC rules, because they are simpler. (We aren't sanctioned) IDPA has extra rules to try to bring optimal game tactics closer to real-world. If I remember the details right: In addition to gun and optic limits, holsters must be reasonably concealable and use a cover garment. Police may opt to use their duty gear instead, but must use all of it, as issued. Cover must be used as if someone is shooting back, and targets must be engaged according to tactical importance. You can drop an empty mag, but if you reload when a mag is partially empty, you must use cover, and you must retain the partial mag. If you deliberately violate the spirit of the rules, there's a penalty even if there is no technical violation.
Another shooting game that will definitely improve your shooting skills is steel challenge. It's a stand and shoot game that requires speed and accuracy.
It's also incredible fun.
I never look at the time until they publish the score in our sight. I am always concerned about cover and points down. If you can be fast and accurate, more power to you! My best IDPA day ever was at a sanctioned match where I had the lowest amount of points down of the match.... but you could have timed me with an hourglass
You have to make the shot when fire is smoking, people are screaming, dogs are barking, kids are crying and sirens are coming.

nVidia's Tegra does 720p HD Video
Just this morning I posed a question about the use of the Tegra SoC chip in netbooks. Well the question still stands but the gang over at Engadget has an interesting piece that comes to them from TechVideoBlog. It seems they have a video showing Tegra pumping out some 720p HD content without breaking a sweat.
My issue with Tegra follows in the OS choices and other performance. Right now the only operating systems that Tegra is being used with are Windows CE (which is awful) and Android. The other factor is system performance, it is being reported that you can only have about four tabs of Firefox open before the system slows down. To me in a machine designed for internet usage that is just not enough.
Maybe if nVidia pushes this into portable HD media players it will fit. But in reality HD video on my netbook is not something I can get worked up about.
Read more here.
If you didn't believe the Tegra hype -- 25 days audio, 10 hours of 1080p video on single charge -- already then pull up a stool, son, NVIDIA wants to tell your a story. TechVideoBlog sat down with Gordon Grigor, NVIDIA's Director of Mobile Software to see Tegra's little Atom smasher in action. So sit back while Gordon smoothly streams a 720p MSN HD trailer off the web (over WiFi) then switches over to Firefox to take Flash for a spin at full-screen. Gordon also clarifies earlier confusion over Tegra's ability to handle HD video; see, the Tegra 600 can do H.264 video at 720p while the Tegra 650 can decode 1080p. Gordon also gives some more insight into memory configurations.

OCZ intros 3.5-inch 1TB Colossus SSD on video
Computex Taipei 2009: One of the products that OCZ had the spotlight on it suite at Computex this year was the newly announced Colossus SSD which is unique in that it comes in the standard hard disk drive 3.5-inch form factor.
It truck load of 1TB of flash memory claims to hit read speeds up to 250MB/s and write speeds up to 220MB/s using the SATA2 data interface. The bad boy which is expected to set you back over $2500 USD weighs in at a massive 400 grams (huge for an SSD!) and includes not one but three controllers on board since there is some internal RAID 0 going on inside.
It looks like OCZ continues to go crazy with SSDs and just keeps bringing out new ones that keep attracting attention. More from the OCZ suite later on!
Thanks go out to Alex from OCZ for the introduction above.

Wrapping up our coverage from today's press conference held by MSI, we have prepared a video of the lovely ladies showing off MSI's range of new X-Slim series notebooks.

AMD Wants To Show Link to Video Games And Learning
AMD is holding a new contest and wants to demonstrate the link between gaming and learning. According to AMD, this reinforces AMD Changing the Games commitment to advance youth education through digital games.
The A-ha Moment Video Contest asks contestants to create a video explaining how playing video games reinforced something they first learned elsewhere. They also have the My Dream Assignment Video Contest which urges contestants to submit a video with your idea on what would be a gread game to increase learning.
AMD is offering up six 16" HP Pavilion dv6 series notebooks to first place winners of the contests. Each contest has been split into three groups: Middle School, High School, and Post-Secondary education.
"Digital game play as an entertainment vehicle is undisputed, but we believe games can also serve as valuable educational tools," said Andrew Blanco, Director of Program and Business Development for the Learning Games Network. "This contest encourages students to exercise their creativity while sharing their perspectives on games' potential."
"We live in a visual age where gameplay - and game development in particular - can motivate students to learn in ways that can't be matched by non-visual learning mechanisms," said Allyson Peerman, vice president of Public Affairs for AMD and President of the AMD Foundation. "Inspiring youth through social game development is the mission behind AMD Changing the Game and this contest is another vehicle to help advance that mission."

Augmented Reality Card Trick on YouTube
I found this one on Engadget and have to say it is one of the cooler Augmented Reality vides I have seen.
It is a "card trick" performed extremely well and with special real-time effects added. You get to see the actual scene and the augmented one in the same frame which makes the imagery more impressive.
What really takes the cake though is the fact that all of this was done with open source programming tools.
Read more here
Tempest uses AR to demonstrate what's going on in his fertile imagination as he performs a card trick -- cards levitate, Jokers dance, and the birthday cake? Well, you'll just have to see for yourself. The most impressive part is that the whole thing goes down in real time, and utilizes C++ with OpenFrameworks, OpenCV, ARToolkitPlus, MacCam, "and other Open Source goodies." Nothing's done in post-production.

Toshiba Developing Video Wallpaper
Alien Babel Tech reports that Toshiba is currently working on a product that we can only hope makes it past the research phase that it currently is in.
Dubbed "Video Wallpaper," Toshiba is trying to take OLED technology and put it on a thin and flexible paper that can then be used as wallpaper. Potentially this could turn any wall into a display that could be used to do anything from display television to simply change colors on the wall.
Toshiba said that the project is still several years away from becomming a commercial product, but if they can make it happen, you can add this to the list of science fiction technology that has become a reality.
"OLED is anticipated to become an important light-emitting device for the next generation," Toshiba said in a statement.
The problem that the scientists have had to overcome is increasing the efficiency of existing OLED devices, such as televisions that use the reduced-energy material. To achieve that, the wallpaper uses light that has been redirected by an ultra-fine grating that is fabricated by self-assembled nano particles, said Kaori Hiraki, a Toshiba spokesman.

Sussex vice-captain Chris Nash has signed a new two-year extension to keep him in Hove until at least the end of the 2016 season.
The 29-year-old opening batsman has become an integral member of the Sussex side since breaking into the first XI in 2002.
Nash has scored over 10,000 career runs for the Sharks and was named in the PCA Team of the Year at the end of the 2012 season.
Speaking on his new deal, Nash told the club's official website: "I am delighted to have signed for the next four years at the club which I have been at since I was nine.
"Our success over the past decade has been great to be part of and I look forward to continuing that with what is shaping up to be a very strong squad for 2013.
"Personally, I want to continue my good form across all competitions again next season and continue to push for higher honours."
Sussex manager Mark Robinson added: "It is good news for the Club to know that Chris will be here for a minimum of the next four years, as we embark on an important time for the Club.
"It is not only Chris's proven abilities with the bat and ball that we will be relying on, but also his ability to support and lead the team in his role as vice-captain."

Hale Moana is a Non-Smoking studio nestled beneath two lovely shade trees with a 'treehouse' view. Our studio is cooled by refreshing island tradewinds and by the shade from our Monkeypod and Tamarind Trees.
Hale Moana has interior teak and bamboo furnishings which rest on a cool, quartzite slate tile floor. Private parking & entry to a 750+ square foot studio and lanai. The interior also has a vaulted ceiling with skylights and plenty of light throughout. Gas two-burner cooking inside and a gas BBQ grill outside. 39' TV. Wifi.
Once settled in at Hale Moana, you will be a few delightfully sandy paces to beautiful Kailua Bay and Kalama Beach with views of Flat island, the Mokulua islands (Moku Nui and Moku Iki), outer islands (sometimes Molokai and Maui are visible in the distance) and wonderful sunrises too on our East facing, windward side of the island. Listen to the birds, ocean and breezes...

Thank you for your hospitality & for the rose petals & lei - a very sweet touch. Our wedding was absolutely wonderful as well. We will certainly return & recommend your place to our friends. T&K
This home was built for our tutu, Moana, in 1939; it was one of the first houses in the neighborhood, when the streets were paved with crushed coral. Moana married and moved to Kailua, from Waikiki, to raise a family of three. The older generation remained in Waikiki, in the family home there, until the mid '50's. We built onto the main house in 2003 to create what is now our studio, Hale Moana. We hope you enjoy the space we've created as much as our guests, friends and family members do.
"Mahalo nui. We loved EVERY MINUTE of our stay in your guest studio. May Kailua remain free of hotel chains and resorts! People here are so friendly, treat us like old friends. We must come back again someday! Aloha."
Kailua - windward side of Oahu. Nicely situated, beautiful town and ocean. Between Waimanalo and Kaneohe. Main roads in and out are Kamehameha Highway ('circle island' route, 'beach road'), Pali Highway (Kailua to Honolulu/Waikiki) and H3 Highway (Kailua to Pearl Harbor).
