After a recommendation from Spouse, I have watched—in a row, at a rate of 1-2 episodes a day—the entire 50ish-hour run of Breaking Bad. And I agree with him that it is brilliantly written, and fascinating, and I kept watching it in some cases because I wanted to see the perfectly set-up shoes drop, and in some cases because I honestly wasn't sure where the story was going (the reason, in fact, that I am waiting to watch the last eight hours of the show, due in mid-August).
Having said that, though… there are not enough unicorns in the world for the chaser I need right now. o_o

Throwing up mucus every morning
Common Questions and Answers about Throwing up mucus every morning
I've been suffering for about a week but several months ago it was for almost an entire month Wake
yellow / green
and then it goes clear but it's constant and so sticky - it won't even easily wash off the sides of the basin. Last time I used to wake up inthe middle of the night choking - really horrid problem and the lack f sleep only makes things worse.

this horrible bile,
. He really suffers from it. Is this serious, what can be done? How should we proceed? Thank you!

It occurs
time after laying down. I feel a thick build
of mucous, which demands to be coughed up. It usually starts out with a very thick rubbery brownish stuff, then to thick yellowish jelly like stuff & then eventually thick clear stuff. That is the first round. The second round starts about a half hour to hour later, of just coughing up thick flem. I have lower back problems, which are made worse from the constant coughing every morning.

my daughter is 3 years old, she has been vomitting
half hour since 5 this
. Everything she eats or drinks comes
a half hour later. She isn't acting dehydrated or anything, she said her belly hurts. She doesn't have a fever or anything. Most of what is coming up is mucus-like not like just regular vomit (sry TMI). I think I am going to take her to the Childrens Hospital Urgent Care but they don't open until 6 this evening.

I agree everyone is different and so are pregnancies but with all three of my miscarriages I had no
sickness or tender breasts
until I miscarried but with my daughter and my pregnancy now I had a pretty good case of morning sickness real tired and tender breasts. I know every docter says something different but my doctor with this pregnancy now told me the HCG numbers meant more then what he was going to see int he u/s!

The problem first occurred in August 2011, I was out with a friend and had ONE Smirnoff ice over the course of the night. When we got home I couldn't stop
half hour to the point of uncontrollable dry heaving and couldn't keep any liquids down, and we were worried someone had spiked my drink, so I went to the hospital and they gave me Gravol and a throat/stomach numbing liquid, and the doctor prescribed some Ranitidine and said I wasn't drugged or anything.

and I don't get it, I wake up maybe 3-4 times at night (don't sleep well either) to empty my bladder and it is still full

) Since the time I've gained the weight, I've had pretty much cronic lower back pain
when I wake
. Will exercising and loosing the weight help this problem, you all think? It's very annoying--I miss waking up like a "regular person"-- pain and symptom free. I'm supposed to go to a PT this coming week, to learn some stretches, so hopefully that'll help, also. Am I on the right track to fixing this annoying lower back pain? Thanks for your time/help.

I have now started dry heaving/

I handed him over to Warren and called the nurse.

I get a sore throat (not tonsils but when you swallow) I now go straight on antibiotics and use Bricanyl inhaler although it doesnt seem to have much effect except to cause alot of
from the lungs. It causes me to have spasm coughing and if I cannot control this to 3 or 4 coughs my windpipe closes over making it hard to breath in or out. The last one about 2 years ago stopped me breathing in and out completely for 10 to 15 seconds and I thought I had bought it.

just a little bit of a dry cough. And whenever something did come
, the
was clear so I wasn't concerned. I just figured the remaining gunk was clearing itselft out of my system. Eventually it stopped......that is until last Sat (4days later) when I began to cough again. I went dancing and by the end of the evening I was hacking up a lung! Now, I have yellow-ish, light brown (or dark beige) phlegm coming up in (what I can only describe as) clumps.

I have had post nasal drip for about 2 months, doctor put me on fluticasone propionate which has helped as not as bad but noticing still having nausea in am especially with having a cup of coffee with creamer as like today I drank just a little next thing I am
it right back
. I am over 50 and just went to allergist who diagnosed me with asthma and all allergy tests showed I wasn't allergic but my question is is it the creamer making me sick or the actual coffee.

Pecan pralines are one of the most celebrated candies of the South. They are made with pecans, sugar, and cream, which results in a unique crystallized and cloudy caramel that melts in your mouth. The European praline, however, is made simply with sugar and nuts, which results in a shiny hard-crack bitter-and-sweet candy. This Italian-style semifreddo (half frozen) uses the latter, which holds up well when frozen. However, we still use cream, but in a soft, fluffy base that cradles the crispy praline.
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups toasted pecan halves
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon bourbon
To make the praline, line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
Combine the water and the sugar in a saucepan over high heat. Gently swirl the pan around to melt the sugar evenly. Using a candy thermometer, cook the sugar until it reaches 370°F. Add the pecan halves to the caramel and quickly stir the nuts to coat them thoroughly with the caramel. Spoon the praline onto the waxed paper in an even layer to cool. Once the praline has cooled, chop it finely with a knife and reserve.
To make the parfait, line a 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, letting enough excess wrap hang over the sides to cover the top.
Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until it reaches stiff peaks. Remove the bowl from the mixer and, with a rubber spatula, fold the sour cream into the whipped cream. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and refrigerate until needed.
Have the egg yolks and egg whites in separate bowls. Put the egg yolks in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and add 1/4 cup of the sugar. Whisk the mixture on high speed until you achieve a thick, pale yellow consistency. Transfer the mixture to another bowl and reserve.
Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Decrease the speed to low and slowly sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup sugar into the whites. Once the sugar is added, increase the speed to high and whisk until medium peaks form.
Fold the cream mixture into the yolks, then fold in the egg whites in three additions. Fold in the chopped pecan praline.
Fill your prepared loaf pan with the semifreddo mixture and smooth out the top. Pull the plastic wrap over the top and freeze for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
To make the caramel, using a candy thermometer, cook the water and the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 380°F. Remove the caramel from the heat and carefully add the heavy cream. Return it to the stove over low heat. Once the cream dissolves into the caramel, you need to swirl the pan periodically but try not to stir it, remove it from the heat and add the bourbon. Hold the caramel at room temperature until you are ready to serve it.
To serve the semifreddo, pull the plastic wrap away from the top. Invert the loaf pan onto a platter. Wrap a hot, wet kitchen towel over the loaf pan and gently rub the sides to release the semifreddo. Once the semifreddo is released onto the platter, peel off the plastic wrap.
Slice the semifreddo into ten equal slices with a sharp knife. Serve each with a drizzle of bourbon caramel.

Ancient legends tell of a gargantuan, trident-wielding, octopus-headed beast that will rise from the deep, tentacles flailing, to bring a new age of chaos, darkness and destruction to the world of man.
No, I'm not referring to everyone's favorite Great Old One, Cthulu, who also waits in that long line of slimy, world-munching monsters. I'm not even talking about Emperor Guillotine from Japan's "Giant Robo" (ジャイアントロボ ), known in the US as Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot, although the alien with a cephalopod for a head almost certainly was the influence for this guy.
No, instead I refer to the Beastie Boys' unnamed adversary in their "Intergalactic" video. With his bulbous purple noggin', stylish sackcloth robe, and starfish bling, this tentacled menace set his bugged-out eyes on metropolitan Tokyo. All I can say is, thank goodness for Giant Boxy Robots.
For extra credit: Can you name more evil, octopus-headed Big Bads? Squid critters also count.
"Flailing Purple Tentacles of Beastie Destruction!" combines with his arch-nemeses to form "Giant Beastie Robo Machine and His Cosmic Friends", like so:

Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Rogers Waters and The Who will step up next month to headline a Hurricane Sandy Relief Concert.
According to the NY Daily News, the benefit concert will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The show will be called 12.12.12.: The Concert for Sandy Relief. The show will be on December 12th, and all proceeds will go to the Robin Hood Relief Fund.
The same people who organized The Concert For New York – the star-packed show at Madison Square Garden that held the concert for victims from the 9-11 tragedies in 2001 – will assemble a similar fund-raising event for victims of Sandy.
There is no channel that has confirmed to televise it, but all signs are pointing to MSG's FUSE Network.

Last August I tore out the first half of the junipers that were surrounding our front yard, replanted the lawn, and got started landscaping. The thread is here http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/design/msg081041072297.html?11
Phase 2 is set to begin next weekend and I could use some input. The removal of the junipers is pretty straight forward. I'm lucky enough to have phone lines running under the root systems of the plants to be removed so it'll be long hours with a shovel, pry bar, hand trowel, and loppers, just like last time (we had power lines running under last year's batch). The original plan was to put a grouping of 3 skinny conifers (we were thinking Alaska weeping cedar or weeping sequoia) in the far corner of the yard by the road and the neighbor's driveway and I still like that but I'm open to options. I want to avoid anything bulky or messy in that area as my neighbors that share this border with me tore out a tree that made a mess on their driveway and it seems like kind of a jerk move to put in something they'll hate. I'd also like to put in an evergreen shrub towards the back of the yard near where their fence is, but it cannot get any wider than 10ish feet. I thought of looking into to a Ceanothus of some sort. Interspersed with everything else I'm thinking of lavender, rosemary, succulents, thyme, and alliums. The color palette that I'm trying to stick with is blues, purples, and whites as far as anything that flowers. I've included a couple photos of the site as it sits. I intend to remove part of the lawn closest to the junipers. Maybe put in a rain garden of some sort - though I'm not sure if rain-garden type plants can handle not getting watered regularly? We're trying to go with a mid-century feel but nothing too tropical. Also, please ignore the pumpkins/squash growing. They're just there because I didn't want to buy mulch for weed suppression before I finished the area. |

Do you get a lot of rain where you at in Washington, as looks like it might flow to the house, I think you could use a focal tree that gets 10-15 foot high right near the street in the middle of the front bed. I would underplant with annuals or parinneals that do well in the area, another idea would be to frame the grass with brick pavers as that seems to be missing, I also think a picket privacy fence just off the street goes really well with the house but am unsure of regulation. |
Thanks for your input. A picket fence definitely is not our style and would not blend well with the neighborhood. We will be putting a few skinny trees in at the uphill corner of the lot towards the street. They will be set back several feet so the line of sight isn't destroyed for our neighbors backing out of their driveway. Underplanted will be various drought-tolerant perennials. I'm not a huge fan of annuals. I'm not sure why I need to "frame the grass" with bricks? At some point we may put in a mowing strip of natural stones, but that is not a priority at this point. I'm considering putting in a dry stream bed leading to something of a rain garden to help deal with some of the water issues that we are currently experiencing and that I expect to compound with removal of the junipers. |

We got our hands on one of the Brit's finest. If it wasn't for her accent we would have never guessed. It really doesn't matter where she is from because she has a superb body, sexy face, and a naughty little personality. She is stacked in all categories. She has what we can all call a traffic jam body. She probably has a long list of necks she has broken just walking around town. You guys don't have to worry about that because she bared it all for us. I can only hope this British bombshell comes back for more.


text: Round two of Sadboi Saturdays with Jamrock here as we continue to unleash the awesomeness that is his Lonely Soprano EP. "HiCloud" seems to be drenched in heartache and tears that it shouldn't matter that it's summer and gorgeous outside. "I met the girl of my dreams but I'm so lonely". The flood of sadness is very real with this one. The tropical bounce accompanying these epic levels of depression is quite tasty though as it allows a minuscule ray of sunshine creep in through the black curtains. Again, this track and EP are all Jamrock and that includes the vocals which he's stepping out with for the first time ever. Coolest thing to me is that we've still got my favorite two tracks from the EP to come over the next couple of weeks.

The Impact of the Second World War on British Society, 1939-1951
Subjects / History / Britain, 1902-1951
History RSS Feeds
The Second World War had an impact not only on British soldiers fighting in Europe, but also on the civilians living back in Great Britain. Between 1939 and 1951 the consequences of the war were felt by women, the elderly and children. Life in Great Britain was very difficult during the Second World War, and one reason for this was that the government needed to control many aspects of people's lives, including how much food they could eat, what clothes they could buy and where they could live. The government created new ministries which controlled how people acted and made decisions that were intended to keep them safer. There were some changes made during wartime that were rolled over into peacetime, such as rationing and the creation of the welfare state, which are examined in this title.

Reviewed Mocha Chocolate Icebox Cake

"I made a variation of this cake using shortbread cookies and flavoring the whipped cream with lemon extract (instead of espresso, coffee liqueur and cocoa powder). It was delicious and very light.

New Product Review:
Grape-Nuts Fit From Post
Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 1/25/2013I love original Grape-Nuts. I also loved a cereal that came out in 2006 called Grape-Nuts Trail Mix Crunch. This cereal isn't as good as either of those, but it's not bad. Grape-Nuts Fit is made up of crunchy whole grain nuggets, small granola clusters, puffed barley and dried cranberries. The crunchy nuggets aren't the same as those in original Grape-Nuts. They're not as dense. Texturally, this cereal is a bit of a crazy mishmash. Some people might like that, but I found it too cacophonous. In milk, you get a gentle crunch from the nuggets, a neutral texture from the granola, a soft texture from the puffed barley and a slightly chewy texture from the dried cranberries. As for taste, the first thing that hits you is vanilla and that flavor remains the major player as you eat an entire bowl. The second most dominate flavor is cranberry with its expected combination of fruity, sweet and tangy. The cranberries work pretty well here because they offset the general whole grain flavor of the nuggets and granola. The "lightly crunchy nuggets" and granola remind me of extras in a movie scene. You don't notice them specifically but their presence help make the two major actors look good. Ironically, the one thing that would have made Grape-Nuts Fit better is Grape-Nuts. The original cereal has a distinct flavor and a unique crunch. Since the Fit cereal is a circus of textures already, why not exploit that fact, add more flavor and stay true to your roots. In the end, I thought Grape-Nuts Fit was alright. It tastes good and it kept me full until lunch. I won't be rushing out to get a new box, but I would consider buying it again if there was a really good sale. Nutritional Considerations: Each 2/3 cup serving has 220 calories, 3 grams total fat (0 grams saturated and 0 grams trans). 0 mg cholesterol, 95 mg sodium, 44 grams total carbs, 5 grams dietary fiber, 9 grams sugar and 6 grams protein.

Comments About This Product Review
By Hard2Find What do you think of Grape-Nuts Fit?
I tried this cereal a couple of months ago and loved it. Unfortunately, when I tried to find another box at all the local stores I could not find any. May have to start ordering it from Amazon! Comment submitted: 12/27/2014 (#5166) By Bummer
I just started eating this product and loved it. Now, it is nowhere to be found. Bummer. Comment submitted: 11/14/2014 (#5137) By moo
I literally eat 5 bowls of this a day. I'm addicted, I'm thirteen and it's just amazing haha. Comment submitted: 8/17/2014 (#5089) By Bonnie Wright
Wow, it's the best cereal I have ever eaten. I buy it in bulk like 6 to 8 boxes at a time. I even eat it for supper sometimes because it is so packed with such good nutrients. Please don't ever stop making it! I recommend it to all the cashiers. ;) Comment submitted: 7/25/2014 (#5079) By flsunshine Can't rate yet as I'm buying it today. But honestly I'm shocked at the original Grape Nuts lovers. Talk about tasteless and cracking a tooth... THAT I can attest to. Comment submitted: 1/28/2014 (#4847) By Bob41
One of the worst cereals I have tasted. Original Grape-Nuts are great. This is awful. Comment submitted: 10/29/2013 (#4776) By captain caveman
I thought it was very good. The people that didn't like it must be goofballs! It's a great cereal. Comment submitted: 7/10/2013 (#3987) By Whiteapron
The name of this cereal is completely misleading; nothing like real Grape Nuts (which we love)! We add some of it to other cereals that do have a crunch so it's lasting forever - may join the bird feeders! Comment submitted: 6/8/2013 (#3915) By Primiano
Not at all what I expected or hoped for. As other posts, I too expected it to relate somehow to the original Grape Nuts (which I love). I find the taste very boring and the texture more than a bit off. I was going to throw the whole box away until I saw the suggestion of feeding it to birds. Hopefully this cereal will keep the birds full of energy on their daily adventures. Comment submitted: 5/26/2013 (#3874) By Nutz
I'm more than disappointed. It doesn't taste good at all. Should have stuck with the original Grape-Nuts. Comment submitted: 5/8/2013 (#3827) By Suesem I hate this stuff... I was expecting something similar to Grape Nuts... nowhere close... I'm feeding it to the birds, then going out to buy some real Grape Nuts... yuck! Comment submitted: 4/21/2013 (#3779) By phooey
Yes, the thing this Grape Nuts Fit needs is Grape Nuts. I have bought this cereal twice, by mistake and gave it to the birds. They should state on the box, 'this cereal contains no real Grape Nuts.' Comment submitted: 4/20/2013 (#3776) By rebecca r.
Yummy and satisfying. Love that there are cranberries. Comment submitted: 4/11/2013 (#3740) By GrapeNut Fan
Ick... Too weird of a combination for me. I (like others) bought it with Grape Nuts in mind as was very disappointed. The only thing this cereal has in common with Grape nuts is the name. The flavor isn't completely awful if it didn't have the hateful floating puffy things. My technique is to pour the cereal, pour in too much milk, scrape the hateful floaty things in the sink and eat the remainder. When the box is gone I won't be replacing it. Comment submitted: 4/3/2013 (#3716) By Ali
I would be marking this as 'okay', instead of a lower mark, if the cranberries were edible without extreme effort. The dried cranberries were too hard and not chewy. However, the cranberries added to the flavor which over all was 'okay'. Worth noting and not mentioned so far is that one of the ingredients has that cardboard taste, but when you have the mish-mash of all of it together it's not really very noticeable. Which is why I would have considered buying it again for the health benefits if the best flavor component wasn't a chore to eat. Comment submitted: 3/30/2013 (#3704) By Joanmarie (Team Breakfast Member)
I thought this cereal was a cornucopia of delicious flavors and textures. A symphony of tasty delight! Light and filling at the same time. I could eat this cereal everyday! Comment submitted: 3/26/2013 (#3692) By jojo
Will NOT buy again! It was not like I expected at all! Grape Nuts are Great, and that is what I will continue to buy. The only good thing I can say is... It reminded me of my dad and sugar snap cereal when I was younger. Comment submitted: 3/13/2013 (#3657) By Moose
I'm eating Grape Nuts Fit cereal as I type this. I honestly don't know how you managed to find 4 Golden Eggs worth of pleasure out of eating this, it is pretty terrible. Are there granola pieces in this? I can't seem to taste them. When I bought it at the store, I mistook those "lightly crunchy nuggets" as actual Grape Nuts, which I love. I'm now trying pretty hard to convince myself that they aren't dog pellets. I've added a few pieces of diced/dried pineapple to no avail. Despite it soaking in milk, the consistency never changes - it remains a cacophony until the very end. Comment submitted: 2/10/2013 (#3598) Connect With Mr Breakfast: Most Recent

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
Toss your head upside down, twist hair into a high, loose bun, then pin it in place, says N.Y.C. stylist Greg Ruggeri. The bun helps keep strands smooth until you get inside. Another solution: "A silk scarf works wonders," Ruggeri says. Have one knotted stylishly on your handbag; then, when it's drizzling, fold it into a triangle, cover hair, and tie ends under your chin. Silk fabric is slippery, he says, so it won't ruffle your hair and muss up your look.

Cheating Wife
Anyone else here had/have a cheating wife but who has not gotten up the nerve to file for divorce? My wife has been cheating for couple years now and has recently developed a more serious relationship with another guy. She is staying overnight at this guys apartment every weekend and not coming home until 6:00 AM.
She has wanted a separation for a long time, but I don't see the point in not just divorcing. We have 3 kids, 16, 15 and 9 years old. A separation is going to be the same thing as a divorce to them. I have been unable to get myself to file because I know how badly the kids are going to take it and I just love them so much. I just don't want to have to tell the kids. The older kids know the wife and I have major issues, but the 9 year old will be very upset. This all started almost 3 years ago when my wife asked for a separation to hook up with an old boyfriend after 17 years of marriage. Since then she has gone though major depression and hasn't cooked or cleaned the house more than a handful of times. It's been all me trying to keep the family together. Just wondering if anyone else is as wimpy as me in letting their wife continue to cheat without filing for divorce. I know I'm an idiot, but the Nice Guy syndrome is well entrenched. |
Many of us here have had wives that have cheated.
I did not divorce my wife / other guys have stayed and worked on the marriage also and many have divorced. you can call it nice guy being entrenched but what you have is fear of facing your wife and divorce. Your wife checked out when she said she wanted a separation which was a lie. she wanted your blessing to move in with another man. OK so you did nothing, you can't change that. At least go see a good lawyer and see advice and what you need to do. don't say one word to the woman who is still considered your wife but who checked out long ago. why would you separate instead of straight for divorce. its obvious your wife will shack up with anybody but you so why kid yourself. get all your ducks in a row, WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T let her know what you are doing or tell anybody that could possibly tell her. she has left the home so now is your best shot. take to the lawyer and get some seperate bank accounts. good luck
Don't take the bait. Find your self respect, if you do not respect yourself why would anybody else respect you? unlike fine wine unresolved problems do not get better with age A wife or girlfriend like a husband or boyfriend can be changed or replaced your children are yours for life don't forget them in your recovery |
Yeah, proceed directly to divorce, do not pass go.
What your "wife" is doing is abusive. Get out. Do not look back. |
Read the book, reread the book, do the exercises, and read the supporting literature.
Do I even need to say it? I don't think I do, but of course, knowing Nice Guys, and their inkling to hold onto anything resembling "normal" or "right", I'll say it anyway: divorce the bitch, change the locks, put a box with all of her shit on the front lawn with a note attached that says "You cheating whore. How dare you. Get the fuck out!" File first and file for custody of the kids based on these lovely patterns of her staying over her new BF's house. Oh yeah, count on the new BF getting tired of her ass real quick once you kick her to the curb and her trying to crawl back into your life. Sun rises, sun sets, breathe in, breathe out, life goes on. Yadda yadda yadda.

Thanks for Emotional Support
Thanks for the support.
I have consulted with two attorneys but retained neither of them. My wife told me last week she has done an initial consult with an attourney and as a result she is looking for a local apartment. I asked her not to go that route as we cannot afford the additional expense along with our existing mortgage. I told her we need to sell the house first, which will not be easy in this market. I intend to call my attourney Monday and retain her to proceed with the divorce. Hate thinking of what this will do to otherwise bright, enthusiastic kids. Also don't foresee a bright future for a divorced guy in his early 50's. |
By the way, don't you dare stop her from moving out.
Kick her out and file for abandonment (which legally, she IS doing), so you can get the kids. Thinking about your kids with some sleazebag who had no qualms about fucking your wife when she was married should be more than enough to get the blood boiling. Now is not the time to be nice. Now is the time to be vicious as hell!

Can you believe the attorney's say she is not doing anything that would be significant enough to allow me sole custody of the kids! Amazing..... At least she recognizes me as a good father and wants placement & custody to be 50/50..... and why wouldn't she, then she gets to be single and hang with her hardass boyfriends with out kids getting in her way!
If your attorney can't see anything wrong, get another attorney. You gave her three years to make an escape plan and put it into use. Don't give her any more "help". Where do you live? If it is in the US, is it a no fault state?
Get it out of your mind that you can't get divorced because you can't afford it. She has her own plans. See another attorney about what you need to get custody of your kids. Never assume that the spouse will be slowed down by taking the kids. My ex moved into a one bedroom apartment with my mentally handicapped daughter. She still would come home drunk with guys. Separate your money from hers. Protect yourself and quit whining about what she is doing (I whined too, but I got my shit done). Get yourself named legal guardian for all your kids. That is when you go to the lawyer and the kids sign a paper. There is a time to whine and a time to get your act together. Want to guess which time it is? By the way, I kicked my ex's ass in court, got custody and she was paying child support until last May. BabyGirl is now 23! LouisianaMan
Homey Don't Play That! I am NOT always NICE! Ron White says: "If Life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Then find someone that Life gave Vodka and then party!" |
I have my own personal issues, but I don't think your kids are going to take your divorce so bad based on what your wife is doing.
It's real simple. You don't need to tell them the details now (they may already know) but it sounds totally normal to divorce a wife who is behaving like that. You wouldn't want your kids letting their future spouses treat them like that, would you? Stick up for yourself! This is like deciding whether to operate on cancer - yes the operation is a risk and it will be painful, but are you going to let it just stay in there and grow? |
Don't get hung up on being a divorced guy in your early 50s. Be concerned about you in general, but not the age thing. You are choosing to step out of the darkness. Whether the future is "bright" or not, time will tell.
By the way, in the dating "meat market" an early 50s man is 3x more marketable than an early 50s woman. I know, I'm pulling that statistic out of my butt. You may need to polish yourself up a bit of course. Focus on staying healthy first. |
In many no fault states her banging another guy will not help you one bit.
It can hurt you personally but she could still be considered a good mom because she left you the dad to watch the kids while she had the weekend with another man. Stop overthinking this / she has told you she is getting a lawyer and you are thinking the guys are right / usually shockwave is too over the top for me but I think he was too easy on you. Louisiana is right, get another lawyer. You can't afford it what is your self respect worth ??? I will give her credit, she said she was through and made no bones about going to another mans house and having fun while you babysit. You allowed this to happen, get the biggest prick bastard lawyer you can find that will hammer her. you can always give more than demanded but you sure as hell are going to get screwed over big time if you do nothing. be pro-active not re-active / document everything she wants out / do it while she wants to leave the guys are right her fuck buddies will not like her as much when they have to help pick up the check, right now they only have her for what they want. your kids will be fine / find your self respect and get a lawyer and if you have to interview 3 more lawyers before you get a good one who will fight for you then do it.
Don't take the bait. Find your self respect, if you do not respect yourself why would anybody else respect you? unlike fine wine unresolved problems do not get better with age A wife or girlfriend like a husband or boyfriend can be changed or replaced your children are yours for life don't forget them in your recovery |
I am in a no fault state.
I ordered the book and its on the way. I have already listened to the e-version of it and that's how I found out I was the problem! The first thing I need to work on is my self-esteem... it has definitely been worked over. |
I read this thread and one thing just struck me; how much you obviously love your kids. The only question I think you really need to ask is what kind of a man do you want your kids to think you as? What kind of human beings do you want them to grow up into?
Then, go be that human being.
Shoulders back; heart forward; chin up; head down. |
You definitely hit the nail on the head Phade. I love my kids and would do anything for them, including putting up with a cheating wife for a long time. Clearly what I need to do for them now, is show them I made a mistake and set an example by becoming a new kind of man rather than the nice guy I've been in the past.
Yeah, that. Man the Fuck Up for your kids! You are teaching them that it is ok to be abused by your spouse emotionally. You are teaching them that they should put up with a cheating spouse when they get married. You are being emotionally abused by her. It is natural for an abused person to hesitate to leave. But it is very unhealthy to stay. For your kids you have no choice but to be strong and end this abusive farce of a marriage. Even if it is a no-fault state your so-called-wife has done some things which will harm her ability to get custody. Her affairs may not mean anything in terms of paying alimony or splitting up the marital assets, but her behaviors will directly affect how the court sees her as a parent. Let her get her own apartment. It is to your advantage and to your kids' advantage. You are no longer responsible for any of her problems in the future, so let her do any stupid thing she wants.
______________________ Go ahead, hijack the thread. It is much more interesting that way. The purpose of life is not to find oneself, but to create oneself. What would the Bull Moose do? |

We have all been there before - you're running low on space and want to get rid of some apps. Or perhaps you just want to do your device a favor and remove old apps that you no longer use. Sure, the app is gone, but most leave behind unwanted data, taking up precious room on the /data partition, your SD card, or both. Fortunately, XDA member Dark3n has created a app to address such a situation, aptly titled SD Maid.
Ever since Apple released its App Store on the (then) iPhone OS 2.0, a special emphasis has been placed on the quantity of apps. As other app markets arrived, the same metric of success carried over. The platform creators used the quantity of applications as a way to convince critics that their platform was popular and thriving and that prospective buyers could take comfort in the platform they were investing money.
In this article I will describe the problem I've had with Eclipse's handling of XML file formatting as well as the best way to fix it.
I use Eclipse to do my Android development for a few reasons:
- it's the only IDE fully supported by the Android dev team
- it has a visual Layout/Resources builder that transforms XML files into corresponding visual representations
- it's free and open source
- I've been using Eclipse for many years and am very familiar with it
The Problem
However, one thing about Eclipse Android development has bothered me for a while - and that is XML formatting by the visual tools.

How to Write an Epic Story
Review of Writing Software
How to Write an Epic Story
Anyone who is interested in learning how to write an epic story must first understand what an epic is in the first place. Many people mistakenly believe that it is only possible to write epic novels, but there are epic poems and stories as well. The sole concern is not length, although that is an important factor; quality, however, is the primary aspect of writing an epic. There are other things to take into consideration as well, which have been highlighted below.
Questions of Length
As mentioned, length is an important aspect when it comes to figuring out how to write an epic story. When writing any kind of an epic, it is understood that the piece will be longer than average, but the length is not set. Every writer must decide how long they want their piece to be, whether it is a novel or novella, a poem, or a short story. Stories can get away from writers very quickly, so even before picking a plot line, it is important to put a cap on word length.
Coming up with an Idea
The plot of an epic tale is an enormously important aspect to consider when learning how to write an epic story. Epic tales like Beowulf and The Odyssey are driven by the stories they told, which is why they have been retold so many times. As a result, the writer must come up with a richly developed, interesting, and smoothly paced idea that will carry the story from start to finish. After all, if the reader is not interested in reaching the end, the epic will fail.
Creating an Outline
It is frightfully easy to get stuck in the plot; many writers get blocked and are not able to figure out what their characters should do next. That is why it is crucial to have an outline, which roughly details where the writer wants the story to go. The writer will also be able to use this as a guideline during the writing process, since it should also contain information about the plot and characters. More importantly, it provides a blueprint showing the writer how to go with the story.
Working at a Steady Pace
Learning how to write an epic story is all about pace and consistency, as well as determination. Even if it does not amount to a thousand pages, an epic story will be longer than the average tale. In order to complete it, the writer has to work steadily; it is best to set aside some time each day for writing. If the writer does not do this, it becomes easier to literally lose the plot, to forget details, and to lose momentum, all of which are disastrous for a developing story.
Anyone can easily learn how to write an epic story as long as they are determined and have plenty of patience. Writing any kind of story is a richly rewarding experience, and that is especially true for an epic story. It will take a lot of diligence, time, and dedication in order to see the project through to fruition. With those strengths, however, it is much easier to write an epic tale than you might think, and it can be accomplished even by novice writers. Click Here!

MTV's newest reality show "Downtown Girls" debuted last night and finally we got to see for ourselves whether Glamour.com writer Shallon Lester and her pals are more or less annoying than "The Hills."
What's the verdict on "Downtown Girls"? It's "Sex and the City"-tinged fluff full of model pretty women — but it's a hell of a lot less awful than all of MTV's other reality shows. And that counts for something … right? Keep reading »

Reading Guide
Jared Diamond
CollapseIn the American Southwest, an ancient city of intricate masonry rises from the floor of an utterly desolate canyon. A roofless but intact Norse church perched over a fjord in Greenland attests to a Christian colony that flourished for hundreds of years—but not a single survivor remains. In Australia, sheep and rabbits compete for sparse vegetation in vast prairies that were thick with native grasses two centuries ago. Haiti and Rwanda, both desperately overcrowded and environmentally degraded, have repeatedly exploded in appalling violence.
What do these seemingly random scenarios, remote from each other in space and time, have in common? In Collapse, Pulitzer Prize–winning author and UCLA professor Jared Diamond supplies the key. Like his previous book, the international bestseller Guns, Germs, and Steel, Collapse is a monumental study of the interaction between history, culture, climate, and the environment—but from the other side. Where Guns, Germs, and Steel examined how and why Western civilizations came to dominate the world, Collapse probes the mysteries of why cultures decline suddenly and catastrophically—often immediately after reaching their peak. In Collapse, Diamond broadens his perspective and his reach as he links the crash of past civilizations—including the Anasazi of the American Southwest, the Maya of Central America, the Norse colonists of Greenland, and the Polynesian creators of Easter Island's famed monumental statues—with what is happening today in troubled nations around the world.
Diamond opens with a chapter about the spectacular Bitterroot Valley in western Montana, a choice that he acknowledges may initially seem puzzling. What could the Bitterroot with its ranches and trout streams and inspiring mountain vistas share with the desolation of the Anasazi ruins in Chaco Canyon or the bare eroding hillsides of Haiti? As the narrative unfolds, the parallels become unmistakable and increasingly alarming. Diamond identifies five sets of factors that precipitate societal collapse: environmental damage like deforestation, pollution, soil depletion, or erosion; climate change; hostile neighbors; the withdrawal of support from friendly neighbors; and the ways in which a society responds to its problems, be they environmental, political, or social.
These five key factors played out in different ways in each of the historical societies Diamond studies. For example, deforestation and a prolonged drought combined to ignite the Anasazi collapse, while the Maya cities fell on account of overpopulation, environmental degradation, a sharp increase in warfare, and poor leadership. All five factors worked together to undermine and finally destroy the Norse colonies that had flourished on Greenland for nearly five centuries. When Diamond turns from past to present, it becomes clear that the conditions for collapse are now coming to a head in the nations of major world powers like China and Australia as well as in political flash points like Iraq and Indonesia. In the context of Diamond's sweeping synthesis, the opening chapter on Montana's Bitterroot takes on a stark new meaning. The conclusion is inescapable that collapse can and will happen again, even in a seemingly blessed nation like ours, unless we recognize the warning signs and choose to act responsibly.
How can we avoid destroying our world—and our own species? It is a tribute to Jared Diamond's brilliance and intellectual honesty that he poses this question not in fear but with courage, lucidity, and cautious hope.
Jared Diamond is a professor of geography at the University of California, Los Angeles. He began his scientific career in physiology and expanded into evolutionary biology and biogeography. He has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society. Among Dr. Diamond's many awards are the National Medal of Science, the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement, Japan's Cosmos Prize, a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, and the Lewis Thomas Prize honoring the Scientist as Poet, presented by the Rockefeller University. He has published more than two hundred articles in Discover, Natural History, Nature, and Geo magazines. His previous book, Guns, Germs, and Steel, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.
Q. What inspired you to write this book? Was there a single "germ" or eureka! moment? Did you conceive of Collapse and Guns, Germs, and Steel as companion volumes from the start—or did the idea for Collapse surface only after Guns was finished?A. Ever since I was in my 20s and read Thor Heyerdahl's books about Easter Island, I became intrigued by the collapse of great societies—as are millions of other people. That interest has stayed with me over the last forty years, stimulated by visits to Maya ruins and Anasazi sites and by reading about other collapsed societies. I did not conceive of Guns, Germs, and Steeland Collapse as companion volumes from the start, but I had already written some magazine articles about collapses in the 1980s, and the idea for Collapse was percolating below the surface. After finishing Guns, Germs, and Steel, as soon as I came to think about what would be the subject of my next book, the answer became obvious: Collapse!
Q. Both Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse are huge bestsellers—and yet both are fairly demanding books. Have you been surprised by their success? How do you account for it?
A. Was I surprised by their success?! All authors, including me, have fantasies of achieving great success. However, by the time that I published Collapse, I had already published three previous books for the public to douse my fantasies with the cold water of reality. Hence I really was surprised that Collapse jumped to near the top of the New York Times bestseller list within a few days of its release. The explanation is partly that many people who had already read my previous book Guns, Germs, and Steel were looking out for my next book, but the other reason is that the subject of Collapse really grabs people. Most Americans today are troubled about our future and that of the world, and are concerned that we might be (or already are) heading downhill.
Q. If you suddenly found yourself with the power and the means to change one thing in the world today, what would it be? Which country or region would you choose to focus on?
A. If I had the power and means to change only one thing of the world today, that one thing would be my being limited to change only one thing in the world today: my one change would be to give myself the power to make many changes. That's because, as I discuss in the last chapter of Collapse, we face a dozen different major problems, all of which we must succeed in solving, and any one of which alone could do us in even if we solved the other eleven.
Q. The scope and the breadth of Collapse is immense, encompassing history, geography, politics, economics, environmental history, biography, even baseball. Did you have any models that inspired you—other books you admire that synthesize strands from so many different disciplines?
A. In effect, Guns, Germs, and Steel was my model. That is not because I was consciously trying to imitate Guns, Germs, and Steel. Instead, that previous book also wrestled with a wide range of problems, and the experience that I gained throughGuns, Germs, and Steel in addressing them is what I drew on while writing Collapse.
Q.Together Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse complete an arc, a vast circle describing the rise and fall of world civilizations. What's next? What's left? Do you plan to strike out in an entirely new direction?
A. Yes, there is something next, another big book about another big question of human history and human societies. I hope to complete that new book in about another five years. But, as Conan Doyle let Sherlock Holmes explain to Dr. Watson in alluding to the mystery of the giant rat of Sumatra, "The world is not yet ready for this story."
Q. Some critics have compared Collapse with Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb, pointing out that Ehrlich's predictions have not come true. How would you answer the criticism that you are being too dire? How politically motivated do you think your critics are? Do you think some critics are indulging in the sort of willed blindness or wishful thinking that contributed to the collapse of prior civilizations?
A. Many of Paul Ehrlich's predictions have come true, but his critics cite only some that did not come true. All of us know that we live our personal lives in an uncertain world, where we have to make the best predictions that we can, in full knowledge that some of our best guesses will prove wrong. It is impossible to live without continually making best guesses about the future. Any critic who cites only a wrong prediction by Paul Ehrlich and not his correct predictions, or who fails to cite the incorrect predictions of Ehrlich's critics, is employing bad reasoning.
Q. Have any of the criticisms of the book caused you to rethink aspects of your argument?
A. Details, yes; main thrusts of my argument, no.
Q. You write of the Norse in Greenland, "to them . . . it was out of the question to invest less in churches, to imitate or intermarry with the Inuit, and thereby to face an eternity in Hell just in order to survive another winter on Earth" (p. 247). Yet even today, religion guides the lives and choices of many Americans. There are many who prefer, metaphorically if not literally, to starve rather than face an eternity in Hell. Is this likely to become as serious a problem for us as it was for the Norse in Greenland? Do you think there is a fundamental clash between religious values and material survival running through Western civilizations?
A. This already is a serious problem for us. But that's not to say that religion is a negative force and an obstacle to be survived. Religion, like other powerful human motivations and values, can be a force for either the good or the bad.
Q. In your discussion of Haiti and the Dominican Republic you dismiss the usefulness of "environmental determinism" as an explanation of why these countries have diverged so sharply. What exactly is environmental determinism and who espouses it? How does your outlook depart from this school of thought?
A. Environmental determinism in the strict sense is not a view that any sensible person espouses today. Instead, historians who discuss environmental influences on history at all are often caricatured by critics as "environmental determinists," supposedly meaning someone who believes that the environment strictly determines human history and that human choices count for nothing. This caricature is counterproductive. Of course the influence of the environment on human history is neither negligible nor all-encompassing.
Q.You make a distinction between top-down and bottom-up approaches to environmental problems and discuss how both have worked, sometimes alone, sometimes together, in past cultures. What about our own society? Do you think our progress in environmental issues, to the extent we have made any, is essentially bottom up, top down, or a combination of the two?
A. It's obvious that our progress in resolving environmental issues has been a mixture of bottom-up and top-down. Things that each of us do as individuals (recycling, saving water, buying a more fuel-efficient car), plus efforts of local groups of people such as the Teller Wildlife Refuge in Montana's Bitterroot Valley that I discuss in Chapter 1, are examples of bottom-up progress. The improvement in air quality in the United States in the last thirty years because of federal government standards and policies is an example of top-down progress.
Q.You write about your fondness and sense of connection to Australia, New Guinea, and Montana. Did you visit all of the regions discussed in the book? How many years did you spend traveling and researching? Of all the places you visited in the course of your research, which moved you the most? Which frightened you the most?
A. I visited most of the regions: all except the Pitcairn Islands, Rwanda, and China. I worked on this book for six years and worked especially intensely on it for the last two and a half years. All of the places that I visited moved me, and all of them frightened me.
- There is a lot of talk these days about how environmentalists have damaged their credibility by crying wolf—for example, issuing dire warnings about exploding population and the effects of global warming that have not been borne out. Do you think Diamond is vulnerable to the charge of crying wolf in Collapse? If not, why not? How does his argument and approach differ from alarmist environmentalists?
- "I am writing this book from a middle-of-the-road perspective," writes Diamond in the introduction, "with experience of both environmental problems and of business realities" (p. 17). The middle of the road is often a tough place to be—since it opens one to attacks from either side. How successful is Diamond in staking out this position? How does he balance (or fail to balance) environmental concerns with business realities?
- "The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there," is the famous opening line of L. P. Hartley's novel The Go-Between. Collapse is based on the implicit assumption that the past is not really that foreign after all—that the mistakes and blindness and bad luck that led to past collapses can and will happen again, that a lot of the problems of the world today result from the fact that we don't do things differently. Do you agree with Diamond's position that the past and present are closely connected, or do you think there is an essential quality that definitively sets us apart from previous civilizations?
- Diamond describes Tikopia as a kind of island paradise where natives saved their environment through eco-friendly gardening and devised a kind of rudimentary democratic system of government. Yet Tikopians also practiced infanticide and abortion to limit population growth. What does this say about our ability to judge the morality of past societies? Can one (must one?) differentiate between macro- and micro-morality?
- What view of human nature do you think underlies Collapse? Where do you think Diamond would stand on the nature vs. nurture debate—i.e., the role of genetics versus culture in determining human behaviors and responses?
- How important are leaders in determining the ecological success or failure of a civilization? To what extent did bad leadership contribute to or cause the collapses Diamond talks about? What about in our own culture—do you think progress will come from enlightened leadership or rather from grassroots activism?
- Some critics feel that Guns, Germs, and Steel is more successful than Collapse because it is more tightly organized. Others praise Collapse because the issues it wrestles with hit so close to home. If you have read both books, how would you compare them in terms of structure, central thesis, and relevance to the world today? Which did you enjoy reading more and why?
- If the United States does collapse, how do you think it will happen? Which of Diamond's five factors would play a role in the demise of American civilization as we know it? Do you think our collapse will occur suddenly, like the crash of Easter Island or Maya civilization, or is it more likely that we'll experience a gradual but stable decline, as Great Britain did after World War II?
- Which example of civilizational collapse described in the book do you find most compelling and why? Which best fits Diamond's thesis? Diamond notes that "no other site that I have visited made such a ghostly impression on me as Rano Raraku, the quarry on Easter Island" (p. 79). Which image or passage in the book made the most powerful impression on you?
- Diamond writes that our world "cannot sustain China and other Third World countries and current First World countries all operating at First World levels" (p. 376). Yet how can we ethically deny Third World countries the comforts and advantages that we in the First World enjoy? In your opinion, what should our leaders do to lessen or resolve looming conflicts over resources between First and Third World countries?
- Diamond reveals that while writing the book he found himself lurching between hope and despair. What emotions did Collapse inspire in you? Did you come away depressed, cautiously hopeful, or did you have an entirely different reaction?

"That's not what I said," Transou responds. "I said that some of the black seniors told me that they didn't want their graduation represented by Kinshasa. I told her that some of the girls had told me that he'd better not mess up their graduation."
Three days before graduation, Ernest Jones was contacted by a school administrator. "He stated with all the sarcasm and resentment that an adult could muster that I would be allowed to speak at graduation," Ernest remembers.
Jones declined the offer--in part, he says, because of the short notice, in part because "the school administrators had gotten themselves into this mess and only wanted me to get them out of it."
School officials persisted in their requests until Jones's father finally called and told them to leave his son alone.
Meanwhile, Alfred Sayers was calling the media to alert them that a protest led by his son would be part of the graduation ceremonies.
Kinshasa says the speech he planned was not meant to be divisive or to incite violence. "Yes, I had some things to say about how Manual had failed me and failed others," acknowledges Kinshasa, a B student who says he had to personally fight Manual's policy of discouraging blacks from taking challenging courses that prepare them for college.
"I wanted to tell other young blacks--everyone actually--that despite the [failings of the school], to hold on to their dreams and hopes...like I did. Education is the key. You don't see kids with high school diplomas doing drive-by shootings. And that says something."
But Kinshasa never got the chance to say much of anything. A fight broke out as he reached the podium; before it was over his brother was on his way to jail and many of the graduates were in tears. "I messed up graduation and apologized to my classmates," Kinshasa says. "But half the kids who attend Denver Public Schools aren't graduating. Who's apologizing for messing up their graduation ceremonies?"
Among those angry with Kinshasa Sayers was Ernest Jones, who was caught by the cameras when the fight broke out, screaming at his mother to drop her sign. "But I agree with what she did and what Kinshasa did," he says. "Someone needed to speak up. I was just upset about the violence."
The two graduates have spoken since, and like the lawyers they both say they intend to become, have agreed to disagree on tactics while agreeing on the importance of the issue.
Ernest Jones's anger is now focused on Transou and her insistence that his indecisiveness caused the confrontation. "It was not an opportunity to speak," he says of her offer. "It was an attempt to get herself out of trouble."
"There's a lot of lying going on," Transou replies. "This is an adult issue with kids stuck in between. Now I'm the target, when I wasn't the target before."
"She's a real strange authoritarian figure," Margot Jones says of Transou, "and this is a bigger problem than what happened at a graduation ceremony. She's not being real truthful. Ernie has always had exemplary behavior--he's not Kinshasa--but she turned on Ern, too. She's unbending, and in this case, unthinking. She can't even say she's sorry."
Ernest Jones admits he drafted the letter with his mother's help but says it reflects his feelings. "I hate this scrutiny," he writes. "I am only 17 years old and it is very confusing and painful to me. We are all at risk as long as even a few of us are not permitted to fully enjoy the opportunities of the public education system."
Kinshasa Sayers, too, is tired of the controversy. "If you talk to Transou," he says, "tell her that I want to work with her to find solutions.
"But first I think we need to agree that there is a problem.

"You know nothing Jon Snow"
I have an idea for a question.. Let's see if I word this correctly:
If you managed to land a job in the gaming industry, what would be your dream position? (Foley artist, composer, character designer, story writer, etc.)
I have an idea for the weekly question thing: What have you broken from your gaming anger? Or something along the lines of that.
One died in India. Three was tracked down in Brazil. I am the only one left. I am The Second Musketeer
I would have to say....story writer. Seems like a fun job. I mean, you write the story!
Jolt, since you've been having trouble coming up with questions, I'll try to donate some questions. But I have one that I enjoy, and don't know if it's been done before: Donkey Kong and another member have gotten into a fist fight. Who is that member, and who would win?
I got two questions. They can be meld together or be two questions, doesn't matter.
1. When did you start getting the GI magazines if you get them? Which one was your first one and which one is your favorite?
2. When did you join the GameInformer website?
Alright here we go, I'll try to submit 5 questions 2 days in a week(so that I submit 10, and that I help keep this going).
But for now, 1 that came to mind. It's a little weird, but hey, it's a submission.
If you were to date anyone on the GI website, who would it be?
Also, I copy and paste the questions onto my blogs, so you should probably proof-read them to make sure they're spelled correctly. It bothers the hell out of me, lol

Tiki Barber is planning on coming back. But the soon-to-be-36-year-old won't be a Giant. So, where will he go?
In his Monday Morning Quarterback column, Sports Illustrated's Peter King suggests four teams:
I think I'd put my money on Tiki Barber being in training camp with either Tampa Bay, Oakland, New England or the Jets.
My thoughts on that quartet:
Tampa Bay: The Buccaneers make the most sense, mainly because Tiki's brother Ronde plays in Tampa. The Bucs are a young team, but wouldn't it be cool to have a guy like Barber work with LeGarrette Blount?
Oakland: This one doesn't make a whole lot of sense on the surface, and I can't really visualize Barber in Oakland. Still, if the Raiders lose Michael Bush to free agency, Al Davis could be the kind of guy prepared to take a chance on a proven player to help spell Darren McFadden.
New England: Mike Reiss, who covers the Pats for ESPNBoston.com, doesn't see it happening. Still, New England loves its aging running backs.
New York Jets: Barber would obviously love to stay in New York, but with the Jets bringing LaDainian Tomlinson back, this makes no sense at all. Shonn Greene also came on late in the 2010 season.
Believe it or not, Bodog has odds for this. The Bucs (2/1) are unsurprisingly leading the way, followed by the Broncos (5/2), Saints (3/1) and Patriots (10/1). So that adds two extra teams to the fray:
Denver: The only reason it makes sense: John Fox worked with Barber early in his career.
New Orleans: With Chris Ivory and Pierre Thomas under contract and Reggie Bush's status up in the air, there probably isn't room for Barber in the Big Easy.
King claims that Barber "would be a success coming out of retirement after four years away from the game," based on the fact that his numbers were consistently magnificent at 29, 30, and 31. But nearly half a decade away might be too much.
And if the Bucs or Pats or Raiders or Jets or Broncos or Saints don't gamble on Barber with a non-guaranteed contract, who will? Wouldn't teams rather give short deals to guys like Clinton Portis? You know, players who have proven themselves during Obama's presidency?
