When is enough, Enough!!!
I am in need of some advise, I am tried of always settling.
I have been married for the last 10 years (almost 11). For the past 5 years or so - my husband hardly ever comes to bed (unless sex is on his mind). He always sleeps in his Man Cave (on the couch or on the couch in the living room). He works for an automanufactor company (for 7 years) and has always seemed to had worked Second shift jobs, he has been laid off since January. My thing that he spends all his time in his man cave (which is where his computer is). He used to change his schedule to more of a day time schedule when he was off of work but this time he hasn't. He is still up all hours of the night, on the computer playing online games with his friends (all over the US). But the thing is that it is all the time Sunday - Saturday, he never takes a day off. Than he sleeps all day long. Here & there I will ask him to do little things around the house but, I always have to remind him all the time that it needs to be done and he still doesn't do it, So I end up doing it myself (Settling). It just seems as if we are roommates with benefits. I have mentioned to him on more than one occasion that I am tried of being a mother of 2 (we have 1 child,10 year old boy), that I need him to be responsible for other things beside paying his portion of the bills. He always procrastinates on everything but his online games, unless on of his friends (that live around us) needs his help for one thing or another. It is plain that talking about it doesn't so any good. Should I keep settling - it has been almost 6 years and I am getting to the point that enough is Enough. Recently, a friend move in due to hardship and she has been helping with all the things he should be doing, I think he feels that he is off the hook from doing anything. - Any thoughts, as to what I should do??? I feel like it is the never ending battle.
I think the "nag nag nag" is coming from a man whose wife probably has the same complaints about him. He's lazy and irresponsible! Your "husband" is living his life the way he wants to live it. He does what he wants, and lets you take care of the rest. You dont mention time spent with your son, does he do that or is he too busy playing his games? It doesnt sound like a marriage to me. It doesnt even sound like a family to me. It sounds like a big over grown kid living the life he did when he was 15 years old. The only thing different is he has you now instead of his mother. If you've painted an accurate picture of your life, unless he did a drastic change, I'd be throwing in the towel. UGH, who wants to live the next 20 years like that?
I'd say enough is enough now. Or better yet, 6 months ago. What a slug. How would he react if you were the one acting that way?
Disregard the nag nag nag comment. I think bill h has too much time on his hands (looking at recent posts from him). Kia, is your husband's name Bill, by any chance????
If you were to hand your husband a 'clock' with 24 hours of the day on it -- one for weekdays, one for weekends -- and ask him how he thinks he should be spending his time, what do you think he'd do?
He wouldn't be happy, certainly, because your intent would be pretty transparent. But it's a very fair question, and it puts the ball back into his court and gets you off the 'nag nag nag' hook. And there's a chance it could really help, if HE is the one admitting that he spends too much time on the computer and not enough anywhere else. In fact, you may be able to negotiate a time-plan you both can live with.
And if he won't even take the time to fill that out -- well that makes it a lot easier to justify throwing in the towel, if that's what you decide to do.
Thanks everyone for your responses. And no my husband name is not Bill. lol
When it come to our son - most of the time my husband spends time with him is our son gets to watch him play his games or He comes up with some reason about him misbehaving (and not spending time with him at all). In response to Sweeby - I know that he wouldn't bother filling in a timesheet, he would think that, that was too childish and mundane for him to do.
The most time we ever spend together is either going grocery shopping (if he goes at all) or going out to eat. Everything is always left up to me. Right down to what we eat, to what we do. Don't get me wrong I like to plan stuff, but every single time?! The only answer I ever get is whatever you want or I don't know. He is going back to work soon and I asked him if we are going to do anything as a family before than, And all I get is I don't know.
I think that him acting like a Big Kid is right on. I asked him to straighten out his closet last week (he has just thrown all of his clothes in a big heep in on the closet floor), after I reminded him for the 3rd time, I got - When I feel like it - for an answer.
Thanks again everbody!!
It's not "filling in a timesheet" Kia --
It's a one-time exercise designed to help you clarify your priorities in life and allocate your resources (time) appropriately to meet those priorities.
And if you want him to stop acting like a child, you need to stop acting like a Mom. The dance you're dancing takes two.
Imagine what your son is learning about how a man behaves in a domestic situation. Imagine what he thinks about how a husband treats a wife. How does a man manage his clothes, oh, I can see, just throw them on the floor.
It is the son that is being neglected here. Only one chance at growing up, and he has a dad that sits at a computer and appears to have no meaningful communication with him. When was the last time he went for a walk with him, kicked a ball around the park, listened to what happened at school today ?
Kia I am sorry for your situation, in all this, your loneliness, your "mothering" role of the man you married, how sad for you. You deserve better.
I don't think nagging is the option here, it is the "I" statements. But it doesn't sound like he cares, does he, do you think?
Was he ever the man you want him to be ?
I think you need to find a counsellor to help you through this situation, and to work out your options.
Good luck with it all.
agree with popi, your son is learning this behavior from hsi dad. he will be this way when he is grown. I think you need to end it. making a mess or not cleaning his closet i could tolerate but playing the whole night and then sleeping the whole day not what family man should be doing. are you sure he is not doing somehting else on the internet?
Sounds to me like you're 'rearing two sons', kia -- really. How very sad that your DH acts so immature, treats you so badly, and sets such a poor example for your son.
Have you asked him to see a counselor/therapist with you?
Have you seen one by yourself?
I think I would start there. Bottom line, the situation should not continue. It's not healthy for any of you -- your DH, your DS, or yourself.
Also -- do you know what he's doing on the PC all the time? That in itself could be a real issue.
Dr Phil just had a few shows on this topic, if you check out his home page and his you tube page, you might be able to find them.
One had to do with being out of work and the husband not really looking for a job, the other 2 were dedicated to online and how it ruins peoples lives.
Do you really think he's going to go back to work?
You mentioned him paying his part of the bills; what exactly does he pay?
Who pays for the internet? I would actually think to downgrade service or shut it off due to not being able to afford it. He can't play online with dial up. Trust me, I know.
Is he buying computer parts too? My guess would be yes if he's to keep up with his "homies".
Next, and this is something you are going to have to think about - do you think he's having an online relationship with someone he met in one of the games? Is he voice chatting? Is he using the IM? Teamspeak?
Sleeping elsewhere (was due to his job) doesn't bother me as much as him not doing anything but gaming. Your son is learning some really bad habits from him; he's going to think it's ok for guys to do what they want.
Now, if he was home ALL DAY; and not working at all, he should be doing laundry, taking care of dinner as well as cleaning the house and doing the food shopping.
The way I feel, and it seems like I'm on a separation kick today; is to show him the door. Tell him this isn't working for you and you need 7 days to think. Tell him to go visit his parents, then see how you feel. If it is no different with him being gone as it is when he's home, take another 7 days to see if that changes how you feel.
Dr Phil would give you a piece of his mind for allowing him to use you like this.

About Bri
My doctors office now does hand scans, where it looks at your veins to match you to your records. It's pretty nifty. Also makes me wonder how hard it would be to trick the system.
"They assert we're in a "post-empirical" period for understanding fundamental physics."
And that is where we astronomical observationalists laugh at them because their "advanced models", while getting quite a bit right, fail so horribly in other respects to describe what is seen and it just gets waved away.
However, I did go to a talk at this years American Astronomical Society meeting by Max Tegmark, a leader in the multiverse theories, and he explained several things we CAN observe to at least rule out some of the multiverse theories. There are some proposed observations that, if observed, would narrow it down to one kind of multiverse. I wish for the life of my I could remember what kind of observations he was talking about, but I only work in nearby galaxies so it wasn't something I would add too.
In the end, unless we figure out SOMETHING to observe, the theories are a bit meaningless because they just play with ideas and don't effect the rest of the science. They turn into really mathematical philosophers. Still, string theory would be so cool if it turns out to be correct.
I did not back, but was intending to buy this product once it was out. Goblins: Alternate Realities was supposed to be a cardgame based on the comic Goblins, which is a wonderful long running comic with an entertaining storyline. The project raised $177,000 + because of the many fans, and just overall good concept. The kickstarter was being co-run by the author, but everything official was going through the owner of Evertide Games. Tarol, the author of goblins, was all gung-ho to get it made. Time went buy, and suddenly the owner of Evertide Games was not responding to emails. For a thorough account read this blog.
The recap is the guy ran off with all the money leaving poor Tarol to hang. He also had the funding from Mr. Card Game which had raised 142,000 that he took off with as well. Backers from that Kickstarter who are in Australia are looking into legal action.
Tarol had a mental breakdown which was really awful because of this, but after taking some time to himself to recover is trying to fix things by doing the game out of pocket, which is insane but he believes it is his responsibility and he is just that kind of guy. However, Kickstarter is making it really hard for him to get together a list of everyone. You can read the nightmare that is kickstarter's response here.
I have backed quite a few kickstarters and so far all of them have succeeded and produced what was promised. But this just shows even people with credentials can screw you over. Tarol is trying to make good, but the whole thing has been a huge mental and financial strain on him and certainly darkened my view on kickstarters.
I have been seeing this for a while, but when I first saw this post on Techdirt I saw white and gold and thought you had posted the modified version. I then tilted my screen, and it snapped to blue and black and I can't see it as white gold anymore, no matter what I do.
Love it but it drives me a bit nuts.
Huh, my parents live in that one little patch in Washington. Never realized how lucky they were to actually get fiber. When they first got it I was amazed at how fast it was.
HOWEVER. That was 6/7 years ago and I now live in a different place and have Charter. Whenever I go home I am shocked at how slow it is when it is supposed to be much faster then what I am getting. Don't know what's going on there, but I swear they aren't getting what they paid for. It is like pulling teeth waiting for pages to load at their house when I know their internet should be faster.
Now that Ted Cruz, known climate change denier and NASA hater, is the chairman of the Senate comittee on on Space, Science, and Competitiveness? 100%.
Also thanks for the editors choice! Never thought I'd get one of those.
Being a member of the astronomy community, the idea that the information would become public instantly is slightly terrifying. Mostly because my funding comes from grants, which often rely on past publications. If my group released the photos, and was working on careful science to explain some phenomena, and some other group scooped us with poor quality science but mostly correct ideas, there goes the discovery paper and quite a bit of my oomf for my next grant cycle. It's all about who publishes first, and I feel not having the proprietary period would cause a manic rush to publish that would end up effecting both the science, and probably the sanity of the scientists involved.
Boosting the economic return by releasing information right away may be a good thing, but in the end you are going to be hurting the scientists who have made this their life work.
Also, linking this to the HGP; astronomy is a very low economic return science, that's part of the problem with funding. We don't often make discoveries that end up making people money. Meaning or main source of income is those grants we have to fight tooth and nail for. The HGP likely has for more economic applications then most astronomy projects do, aside from the money made via PR. It's a very one way science when it comes to costs. While I adore my particular research, I am under no illusions that what I am doing will somehow be able to be economically viable. My research is important for the advancement of my field, but has no economic return. This is of course scary in the US were the government seems to be pushing only for science that boosts the economy.
Still, there ARE projects designed for this instant information release. The LSST, which will hopefully be working sometime in the 2020s, will be pushing all its info out as soon as everything has been reduced. The beauty of that particular project is that there is so much information that no one person could scoop all the important discoveries. They will have terabytes of data released every few days, and there will be thousands of important discoveries to be made. Rosetta is a very different mission, in that there is a much more limited data set, and for funding purposes the scientists who run the mission need those discoveries to be made within the science team to validate the mission.
Do they also use the "I licked it, it's mine!" rule to enforce civil forfeiture?
So I have two stories.
I was flying out of Tucson, through LAX into Seattle. I went through Tucson security just fine, and landed in LAX. I was thirsty so I went to the soda machine that was right across from where I was going to board. I purchased a soda, saw the line starting to get on the plan, and dragged my bag and my soda over. While I was there I opened the soda and took a drink. All of a sudden two TSA agents pulled me out of line and told me they needed to check me for explosives. The took my drink out of my hand and started testing it with little swabs. My first reaction was "Oh god that better not explode I just drank that!", they swabbed down my hands, checked me over, and let me back in line with my soda. I threw it away immediatly.
My second story was also a friend coming from Tucson, through someplace in California, to Seattle. She also went through security in Tucson just fine, got to the Cali airport, and was pulled aside while she was standing in line to board her next plane. Now, she is a tiny girl, but is very gifted in the bust area. They got a female TSA officer to start "checking" her chest because they insisted someone so tiny couldn't have a chest that big and not be smuggling drugs (AKA, they had to be fake). She was so pissed of she bounced up and down and was all "These bounce, DO THEY LOOK FAKE?!?" An older lady who had been standing next to her turned around and smacked the male TSA officer with her handbag and started yelling "For shame!" at them. Eventually they let her go.
Why both of these happened in California, both within a month of each other is beyond me.
Aaah SkyMall. Without it, how could anyone channel their love for Easter Island by decorating their backyards with 6 foot Moai? I'd be back to carving my own out of basalt and hauling it into my backyard instead of having it delivered right to my door!
When I saw this on another site I wondered when you guys would pick it up. It really is unfortunate for the people at ZeniMax who are not involved with this because I feel like this will give the company a bad rep. I've been in contact with a lot of the people who work at ZeniMax for the TESO alpha and beta sessions, and they genuinely wanted to make good products focused on what the customers want and will enjoy. This just makes the company sound like another big bad trying to crush the little guys who are trying to give the public what they want. Shame on you, ZeniMax legal department!
The National Observatory on Kitt Peak is losing almost all funding, and the National Solar Observatory at Sunspot, NM is as well. This are huge, active sites for astronomy that are heavily used, but they are being shut down due to the budget cuts. Almost every school I applied to for Grad School as bought in to the telescopes there which is one of the reasons I applied to them, but it is likely they won't be running 2 years from now due to the cuts. It's also likely there will be less jobs for astronomers as well due to the cuts, since many positions are funded by grants.
I love my field of research. Astronomy discovers so many mind blowing things every day, things people can't even BEGIN to make up on their own, but the government thinks it's not worth funding. Astronomy is one of the most inspirational and motivational fields that gets people interested in science at a young age, despite very few people becoming astronomers. I know everyone is hurting for money, but I wish there was some other way then taking it from the sciences where it actually does good.
I got off a plane at LAX and went to my connect flight, but not before stopping at a vendor to buy a soda. I then walked up to the line to get onto the plane and opened the soda and took a swig. Right before I got on to the plane I was pulled aside.
TSA: "Mam, we need to check your drink for explosives."
Me: "What?!?! I just bought this here!"
Thank god the TSA has the forethought to check their own already screened drinks for explosives after people have had a drink. It made me feel so much safer when I got onto the plane.

East Palo Alto's health challenges greater than county's

Many people get a good amount of exercise just by walking around town. Unfortunately, walking is difficult in East Palo Alto and east Menlo Park because of the terrible roads. Roads are very dangerous for pedestrians because of all the car traffic coming of the Dumbarton Bridge and spilling into residential streets. Further, the roads and sidewalks are in terrible condition with cracks and potholes everywhere and even long sections of street without any sidewalks. Even without the traffic, walking is dangerous. Why are the streets in east Menlo Park so poorly maintained compared to west Menlo Park?

I agree with the above poster. There are streets/neighborhoods where it is impossible to walk. Especially if you are trying to walking with a baby stroller, or young children. The sidewalks are terrible, and crossing University on Bay, Bell and several other roads is dangerous due to traffic traveling at high rates of speed, running red lights, and rolling through the street while making right hand turns.

The Opposite of Slacktivism
By CTR1(SW) H. Lucien Gauthier III
MIT has become my go-to publication for understanding how new models of conflicts are emerging. I highly recommend their latest article on events last year in Libya.
Motivated individuals were able to lend support and comfort to the rebels in Libya during the conflict. From giving instructions on first aid, to providing bandwidth and archiving services for the rebels messaging and other things, 'civilians' from Europe and elsewhere were able to support the rebels.
The phrase I find most interesting in the article is that the conflict was "fought with global brains, NATO brawn, and Libyan blood." On this side of the pond, a lot of ink has been spilled for how the approach utilized by the Allies is a new model for conflict intervention. While I see that as certainly being a possibility, the conflict model for Libya writ large (encompassing much more than just NATO's role in Libya) is much more likely to become the archetype for contemporary conflicts.
There are a lot of implications for civilians being able to personally intervene in conflicts:
- Are such motivated (could we term them super-empowered?) individuals still considered non-combatants in a conflict if they give support or aid to a side in a conflict?
- Does a civilian's actions towards supporting a side in a conflict make them a legitimate military target by the opposing side?
- What is the threshold to where a nation is no longer neutral in a conflict because their citizens are directly supporting a side in a conflict?
Lastly, there is an increasing sense that the Westphalian notion of nation-states is being challenged by the ability for individuals to act globally. Generally, this has been characterized in economic terms. However, it now seems that nations are additionally losing their exclusivity on conflict intervention. New organizational paradigms seem to be emerging, where definition by citizenship is at best the penultimate criteria used by an individual for self identification.

Robert Blum
Thank you, Sharon. Beginning with our restructuring in late 2008, and throughout 2009, Cytokinetics steadfastly executed a highly focused business plan, firmly rooted in and focused on the biology of muscle function. In the last 12 months, we have been winding down our activities related to our prior interests in oncology and doubled down on research and development activities directed to muscle biology. Why? Quite simple, we believe that our best path forward, both in terms of return on risk capital and in terms of how best to exploit our competitive advantages in science and drug development, requires us to embrace both the opportunities and responsibilities presented by our novel innovations in modulating muscle function.
We have had here to a carefully constructed blueprint that has informed how best to prosecute a promising portfolio of novel mechanism compounds that may offer significant therapeutic advantages in treating several grievous medical conditions that are increasing in prevalence with our aging population. These potential therapeutic advantages may allow us to better navigate the expected seismic shifts in the regulatory, reimbursement and clinical environments in which we operate.
In 2009, Cytokinetics progressed the development of our omecamtiv mecarbil our novel cardiac myosin activator through the completion of our Phase II A program clinical trials program informing Amgen's exercise of its options to this novel drug candidate in May of last year, another major milestone for Cytokinetics. In the second half of 2009, under our partnership, Cytokinetics transitioned key activities to Amgen. Together we also laid the groundwork for additional clinical and nonclinical development activities for omecamtiv mecarbil which we will share with you in more detail on this call.
We are very pleased that Amgen continues to share our excitement for the potential of our drug candidate and we believe that their diligent commitment is evident in multiple ways that we can elaborate with the steps we are taking together in 2010. Amgen's option exercise afforded us the necessary capital and unleashed other important internal resources to enable us to push forward our nonclinical and clinical program for CK 2017357 or CK 357, CK 357 our fast twitch skeletal muscle troponin activator has a novel mechanism of action that has been observed to directly amplify muscle response to motor neuron input, increase muscle power and prolong the time to muscle fatigue. We believe these properties differentiate this program from perhaps complimentary approaches being pursued by others that are more targeted at increasing muscle mass.
Embarking on this novel area of clinical research required that we remain diligent in our underlying translational research conferring with the appropriate medical and scientific leaders and as will you hear shortly, think more creatively about how we might demonstrate an appropriate proof of mechanism for this compound in humans.
As we unveiled in September at our R&D day, we are defining a new pharmacology in our non clinical studies of CK-357 were designed and executed to map forward a strategy that could translate the compound's novel pharmacodynamic effects from in vivo models to healthy volunteers and hopefully to patients confronting unmet clinical needs.

This State Park is remote. It had 4 camp sites 2 of which were in the making. There was nothing there except shade, a small stream and lots of hiking trails, a nature lover's delight, quiet and peaceful. Toilets were pit toilets a quarter mile walk away to the parking area at the trail head. If you have a motor home 24 feet or smaller you will be okay. Maybe a small trailer would also, but otherwise not good. A camper van fine. The ranger guy was weird and acted as if my being there was a bother to him. No personality, very dull and stand-offish. The woman in the office seemed intimidated by him and kept quiet. Very bad vibes. I would not go back there. We camped at Prairie State Park in a Motorhome.Undo

question on a double wide
I have a question. I hope it isn't a dumb one. if so, please forgive me. we bought a double wide 2 years ago here in nc. I won't say the name because I don't think it is relevant. the dining area is off the kitchen area all open. then there is an oversized doorway from this dining area into a family room with a fireplace. there is a wall between this dining area and the family room that I would like to remove. my question is: are there load bearing walls in these types of homes or is that only in stick builts with basements?
Oh, there are definitely load bearing walls in manufactured homes. _Something_ has to support the roof! If this wall is the centerline of the home, where the two halves meet, it is definitely loadbearing. Otherwise it is unlikely to be loadbearing, but I would get an expert opinion before removing it.

I'd be surprised if .38 special didn't come out somewhere near the top. A lot of people have snubbies.
All .45s aren't bulky or large. My DW CCO has pretty much pushed my XD40SC out of the carry list. A good holster can make a huge difference in what's comfortable.
I would guess the 9mm is one of the most popular carry cartridges, if not the most popular cartridge. I carry the 9mm in the spring/summer and carry the .45ACP in the winter/fall. It's actually not uncomfortable at all, but then again I'm also 6'4.

Gun stores: Where the morbidly obese can pretend to be mercenaries, allude to past experiences in Special Ops, and overuse words like "tactical" and "piece of kit".
My best guess would be that 9mm is the most common concealed carry. I would be hard pressed to guess what would be second...380?

I wonder if there's a poll taken anywhere that would give any indication. Also would guess it's dependent upon region.
Most of the time I carry a 45 acp. But I would guess it would be 9mm

Historical Traveler Reviews Holiday Inn Lisbon - Continental
Sehr gute Wahl
Ich habe hier zusammen mit meiner Frau und meinem 16 Jahre alten Sohn gewohnt und wir fanden es alle sehr angenehm. Als wir ankamen, fanden wir heraus, dass man uns f�lschlicherweise ein Doppelzimmer f�r 2 Personen zugewiesen hatte. Als ich aber durch unsere Reservierungsdurchschrift beweisen konnte, dass wir uns mit drei Personen angemeldet hatten, bekamen wir sofort eine komfortable Suite zugewiesen. Da hatten wir auch ein separates Zimmer f�r unseren Sohn dabei. Das Zimmer war Standard f�r das Holiday Inn, aber sehr sauber und ger�umig. Die Lage war super, nur 2 Bl�cke von der n�chsten Metrostation entfernt. Die Angestellten waren freundlich und hilfsbereit und halfen uns gerne bei unseren Restaurantreservierungen. Sch�ne Unterkunft, guter Preis, wir w�rden wieder kommen.
Very nice cho
Very nice modern hotel. Location isn't perfect, but this of course depends on where you want to go. It's a five minute easy walk to Campo Pequeno, a shopping center with a metro stop and several buses, including the airport shuttle.
My room was lovely, with a very comfortable king-size bed and a spacious, clean bathroom. The hotel must be new: everything was shining and modern. Soundproof windows kept the noise outside, and the individually controlled air conditioning system worked well.
Breakfast had a good variety but was not spectacular. Nothing was especially good, although nothing was bad either.
Service was friendly. Asked for a late check out and was accommodated with a smile.
Definitely a hotel to return to, if you're OK with the location. Paid USD 70 a night (single), breakfast and everything else cincluded, through AsiaRooms.
Great hotel - would definitely stay again
We spent a week at the Holiday Inn Continental while attending a conference in Lisbon. The hotel was very clean, room decor was lovely, and the king-size bed was very comfortable. The water pressure in the bathroom was wonderful - I wanted to take the shower home with us:)))
Public areas (lobby, restaurant, coffee shop) were spacious and clean and the location was very close to the metro (about a block away). We thoroughly enjoyed this hotel and will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Lisbon. The room rate was an added bonus - only 80 Euros per night!
An Excellent Choice in Lisbon
I can't say enough about this excellent hotel. A 14 day prepaid rate plus a Priority Gold upgrade made it a real deal. The rooms are huge, tastefully decorated, with large baths.The staff is friendly and could not have been more helpful. Both the buffet breakfast and room service menu made for a pleasant stay. While the hotel is located away from the city center the easy access by an efficient metro system made my hotel choice a very affordable trip.
My only warning would not involve the hotel but rather the taxi drivers, otherwise known as the taxi mafia by the locals, when arriving from the airport. Thanks for the Trip Advisor readers I was prepared for this so when the driver tried to raise the rate 4 times the meter I had paper and pencil in hand and, after getting my suitcase, wrote down the cab number from the back windshield as well as the license number and smiled at the driver who quickly gave me money back. On the return to the airport a member of the hotel staff established the cost with the driver.
Thanks, Tripadvisor readers.
Finally I would highly recommend a stay at the Continental Hotel and, should I return to Lisbon this will be hotel of choice.
Very Nic e Choice
My wife, 16 year old son and I stayed here and found it very accommodating. We arrived and found that we had erroneously given a room for two; when I provided the reservation form clearly requesting a room for three, we were immediately moved to a very comfortable executive suite, with a separate room for our son. The room itself was standard Holiday Inn, but very clean and spacious. Location was great - just two blocks from the Metro; the staff was pleasant and helpful with making restaurant reservations. Nice place, good price and we'd stay there again.
Tremendous Value and Convenient to Metro
The Holiday Inn Continental Hotel Lisbon is an excellent property that was undergoing renovations during out visit in February 2006. We did not notice any disturbances from the work and we would have never known it was going on if not for information provided by the management.
We booked a pre-paid rate of 45 Euros/night and we were pleased to receive an upgrade to a large corner suite based on Priority Club status. It was an incredible value, to say the least. The suite featured a living room/dining area as well as a large bedroom with a king bed. The only drawback was that the internet cable didn't work. The wireless internet service provided by a vendor was pricey at 20 Euros per day and although this is typical in Europe, we were also unable to connect. (This was not the fault of the laptop involved.) We ended up using the business center, where one hour of time goes for 9 Euros. This was sufficient to handle e-mail for several days.
The common areas of the hotel exceed typical Holiday Inn standards. There is an attractive lounge area near the reception area that is tastefully done. A buffet breakfast at 11.50 Euros is decent. (For other meals, it should be noted that dining in Lisbon is available for very reasonable prices and so it is well worth exploring.)
The immediate neighborhood is not exceptionally exciting, although there are a few small restaurants and watering holes within easy walking distance. A big plus is that it is only a two-block walk to the Metro, which is easy to use and will take you to the heart of the old city in a matter of minutes.
We found the staff to be uniformly friendly and very helpful. We would gladly stay again.
Nice hotel
We stayed at this hotel in June 2005. We had booked a triple room but when we got there we were told the triple room would be too small so they upgraded us to a suite which was even better! The suite was very nice...the decor was a little dark and heavy but still ok. The bathroom was lovely. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. We did have a run-in with one of the restaurant staff who was initially a bit rude which was partly caused by language difficulties but this was quickly rectified. We ate twice at the hotel restaurant downstairs out of pure convenience because there was nothing much else around the hotel area. The food was very nice but for what you were paying, it was a very small quantity. The location of the hotel is not too bad because it is about a 5 minute walk from the metro stop but otherwise there is not too much around. There is a small shopping street with a few restaurants etc on the way to the metro but nothing that special. A metro is needed to go anywhere. We also did a half day trip to Sintra and the Estoril Coast with the company Tours For You who were very professional. I would definitely recommend that too.
Expected nice Holiday Inn standard
Only hotel we stayed in in Spain and Portugal with a king sized bed instead of two twin beds pushed together. Good location close to a metro station and only 15 minutes from the historical centre. Prices made up for the distance and the room was great value. Nice room.

replacing a casement window
Hi everyone,
I'm going to be redoing the kitchen and want to replace the window above the sink. It's an old single-pane double casement window, 38" wide by 37" high (measured from jamb to jam). Now, there's also a wooden piece in the middle. So I'm not sure if this piece is supposed to come out or if I shd be looking for 2 single windows instead.
I got a quote from Lowe's for an Atrium-Reliabilt, but am getting confused in trying to look up the company and learn about replacement windows in general. There are those who say never to go w/ the big box stores because they do low-quality work. On the other hand, we're not replacing all the windows--only 1. So it seems like a lot of trouble to try to find local contractors to come out and do a bid, and I frankly doubt we'd get much interest for a ~$350 window.
So, anyone have any opinions on replacement window brands? Does the center thing that the window locks are on get removed when putting in a new window, or does it mean I get 2 smaller winsows instead of one big one? Is this something I can do myself? I've re-tiled the bathtub and built a simple pergola in the backyard.
Thanks for your help!
It sounds like you have what is called a twin casement
window, One opens to the left and the other to the right.
In window replacement terms it is considered (1) twin casement. The vertical piece you see in the center is removed, creating a complete opening. The new twin casement will fit right into the same opening.
I agree that Lowes or similar big box store would be ok for just one window.
All the best,
The Porch Guy

Things to do in Istanbul
With such a rich cultural past, there's no shortage of things to do in Istanbul. If you have very limited time in the city, you should concentrate on the historic district and put Topkapi Palace and the Hagia Sophia at the top of your list. If you have a little more time, visit the nearby museums. The Istanbul Archeology Museum is easily accessed through the Topkapi Palace or Gulhane Park. This museum, located in the Eminönü district, is actually a group of three museums, the Archaeology Museum (Arkeoloji Müzesi), the Museum of the Ancient Orient (EskiŞark Eserler Müzesi), and the Tiled Kiosk (ÇiniliKöşk). The Archaeology museum houses sarcophaguses and mummies from the ancient Turkish Empire. It also has a children's museum where the most popular attraction is a life-size rendition of the mythical Trojan horse.
No travel to Istanbul would be complete without heading over to the city's world-renowned markets, filled with extraordinary tapestries, beautiful ceramic tiles, and unparalleled and colorful fabrics. Your top stop: The Grand Bazaar, which is among the oldest and largest covered markets in the world.
The labyrinthian Grand Bazaar in Istanbul's Sultanahmet neighborhood can be disorienting for shoppers, especially tourists hunting authentic goods at the best bargains. Those seeking old-world jewelry should stop into Can Diamond and Jewel inside Rabia Han in the southeast corner.
Inaugurated in 2004, this converted warehouse, directly on the Golden Horn, is Turkey's first museum of contemporary and modern art—although in a city that can trace its roots to the late Mycenaean era, "modern" is a relative term, and the collection includes painters from the late 1800s.
In the stranglehold that eventually throttled Constantinople in 1453, the Rumeli Hisar (castle) served as the lynch pin. Constructed on the narrowest point of the Bosphorus north of the city, it blocked Byzantine access to the Black Sea.
Cult favorite Ümit Ünal, a longtime neighborhood resident, sells his avant-garde women's designs here.
Atop a drab tourist hotel across from the Four Seasons is an insider's secret: a rooftop terrace with an unobstructed panorama of the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sofia, and the Sea of Marmara. The drinks menu is nothing to write home about: Keep it simple with an Efes Pilsen beer.
If you want to bring baklava back home, don't buy it in the city—you'll get syrup all over your luggage. Buy it here.
An essential part of any visit to Istanbul is a scrub-down at a hamam (Turkish bath). The top destination for tourists is the 300-year-old Cagaloglu Hamami in the center of Sultanahmet.
Beyond the ancient city walls on the south bank of the Golden Horn, this stately mosque—one of Istanbul's most sacred Muslim sites—is flanked by massive cemeteries.
Colonized for centuries by non-muslim minorities and foreign traders, the district of Beyoglu (pronounced be-yoh-LU and formerly known as Pera), across the Golden Horn Strait from the historic center, has always been the cosmopolitan heart of Istanbul.
A much more manageable affair than the Grand Bazaar, the Spice Market (a.k.a. the Egyptian Bazaar) is the place to find caviar and saffron, honeycombs and coffee, plus fun souvenirs like prayer beads.
Time your visit with the sunset—and the evening call to prayer. That's when young locals file in for cocktails, like fresh-ginger–and–muddled-lime mojitos, and jockey for steel stools on the open-air terrace overlooking the city's two coastlines and the Bosporus strait in between.
This is not a luxury spa—don't expect aromatherapy or an oxygen facial—but it's a perfectly serviceable salon for basic freshening-up if you're in need of a shampoo, blow-dry, shave, or manicure.
A day trip to Heybeliada, the second-largest and arguably the prettiest of the Princes Islands, feels remarkably refreshing after a few days of Istanbul's traffic.
Set in a lavish 19th-century mansion overlooking the Golden Horn, the privately funded museum stages exhibitions such as a show of Kutahya pottery and Orientalist portraits from the late Ottoman era.

Healty Strawberry plants, but....
I moved my new baby ever bearing strawberry plants to a different area of my garden last summer and did not allow them to bloom or put out runners.. They developed into beautiful plants by the fall..
My problem is that this year, both with the earlier spring crop and now after a 2 to 3 week rest, they have and are producing lovely green foliage and healthy looking blooms but then they either don't form any fruit or the fruit is mutated (I don't know if there is a proper term for fruit that is malformed).
The plants get full sun, are not over crowded and are kept practically weed free and since we've been getting a lot of hot, dry, and windy weather, I've been watering them well every 3 to 4 days.
The plants don't seem to be suffering from any disease and I haven't seen any sign of a bug infestation..
I'm getting so tired of weeding and watering and getting nothing in return!! My raspberry plants next to them get about 1/2 the care and are just loaded with ripening fruit!!
If anyone out there has the answer to this please, please let me know.. Thanks for your interest.. Lil
I have seen strawberries do this before and it usually meant a lack of water. If it is that dry and windy I would be watering every day. I have a straw mulch around mine and this helps to retain the moisture.
In Manitoba berry farmers across the province are having simillar problems. They say it's due to the lack of snow cover and the big range of temperature changes over the winter. I think it was the CBC that did the news piece on this, maybe you could find more info on their website. One farmer said there wasn't much he could do about it and hopes for better luck next year. It's not much of a year for strawberries all around...at least you're not alone in your sorrow.
Here is a link that might be useful: CBC Manitoba
Just wanted to pop in and say thanks to all of you for your helpful hints and ideas.. I've been talking to a few local gardeners, and some of them are having the same problems as me, so maybe it is just one of those years..
Kimmypal, I am going to put some mulch down especially since another heat wave is expected to start on Wednesday (we did get a break the last couple of days with some lovely cool weather!).
Coco3, I'll check into the fertilizers for berries. It certainly can't hurt to try..
And Mrs. Tuttlebee, thank you for the link you provided leading me to the CBC site. I checked in their archives and couldn't find anything to do with strawberry problems, but thanks for the idea, cause I'm now going to check out CTV and Global and see if they have anything..
And Penny1947, from what I hear on the news, your state has been getting a lot of cool, wet weather, so hopefully it'll get better. And again,thanks all of you for your help and I'll keep you updated. Lil..
Yes NY has had more than its share of cold wet weather this spring. In fact we never really had a spring transition. We went right from 60's to the 80's overall. A few 70 degree days came and went but not enough to help in the garden.
A quick update.. The weather cooled off a lot for approx. a week and what a difference it made.. The strawberries are now growing and are achieving a very satisfactory size althought they are still mutated..
forman63- I have increased the watering both in frequency and amount, and I'm still checking out fertilizer because coco3 from Alberta mentioned about berry fertilizer, you've mentioned fish fertilizer and I have since been told by a couple of local authorities on strawberries that they feel it's generally not wise to do much fertilizing at all with strawberries during the fruit growing period.. so I'm going to do a little more investigating about what type of fertilizer would be best.. but I do think I'll have to move them to another spot with a little less sunshine. I've kind of come to the conclusion that too much sun and heat here in southern Saskatchewan is just too harsh on the plants.. The spot they were in before was shaded for about half the day, and I got lovely berries all summer long. And again, I want to say thanks for your help.. Lil
Every cloud has a silver lining - my parents-in-law produced very little this year in the way of strawberries, but the price they got from wholesalers was much higher than last year, and we didn't have to break our backs in the fields!
Can't wait for EU accession next May - the Germans will be very happy with Polish prices, and I'm looking forward to another harsh winter, dry spring, and rapid onset of summer to ease my back strain ...
I hope someone out there might know the answer to this. Today I put my strawberries out to get their normal full day of sun, it was a little hotter today than usual but not too much more than normal - I think it got to a high of almost 80(f). Now, I have been keeping my plants inside because the nights have been very chilly and I didn't think it was good for them to be outside when the temps dipped into the lower 40s. So I have been watering them and putting them out in the morning. The inside temps are consistently between 65-70 and the humidity is between 43 and 59%. But here is the thing, today when I went to bring them in, after the sun had set - all the leaves were flacid and limp (wilted for the most part), but after 20 mins. inside the house they firmed right up and now they look as good as ever.
I am baffled.
Please help?
I am not sure, especially since you keep them watered regularly. I do know certain plants such as impatien plants can droop in the sun even if they are well watered. Apparently what happens in that case is because the plant is in such intense sun and heat, it is losing moisture through the leaves quicker than the roots can replenish it and bring it to the leaves.
You mention, however, that it was dark and the plants were still droopy, so not sure what's going on there. Unless they were recovering after sunset. If it hasn't happened on other days, maybe it was due to the heat, or even a combination of heat, sun and wind?
I hope someone can help. I am about 8700 ft. elevation in zone 4-5. I have beautiful strawberry plants covered with strawberries but the berries are soft. Does this mean a lack of something in soil or too much of something or a disease? Thank You for any help.
How do you guys keep the ants from eating your berries before you get them?? I find I have to pick mine before they are fully ripe otherwise they get holes in them (which I'm pretty sure is from ants because I've seen lots of ants on the holy berries)
Yeah it could be slugs too I guess... (I have both) It's just that I've seen ants gathered in the holes sometimes, so it seemed to me that ants are probably the cause... I havn't seen slugs *on* the strawberries, But they love to snooze under my creeping phlox which is near the berries, so I wont rule that out as a possibility.
i am not sure of ever bearing berries but with commercial berries we never fertilize in the spring (maybe 7 pounds N per acre)..but after the season is over (august) we use 100 pounds actual per acre...spring fertilizing produces plant growth that turns eccessive and this leads to heavy foilage and in damp conditions...mildew and fruit rot... i would guess ever bearing would require some fertilizer on an ongoing basis but i would be careful about overdoing it...it will cause soft ..easily crushed fruit...i dont know much about the everbearing varieties as i said..but soft fruit would be an indication of too much fertilizer...and chunks missing from your fruit is more than likely slugs..you may try sevin mixed with cornmeal as a bait for slugs...position it where you know they are in high numbers
This is my first time doing strawberrys and I'm afraid I didn't keep-up on removing runners,so now I have a 'sea' of strawberry plants..need to know just what to do with them with winter coming up..how do I protect them and how much should I weed them out...any help would be appreicated...

No sooner had Alberto Gonzales announced his resignation, than the Department of Justice unsealed an indictment going after a high-profile attorney linked to the presidential campaign of John Edwards with a rare charge. It attacks a practice of reimbursing employees for contributions they made to the Edwards campaign.
The Detroit Free Press reports:
The Justice Department on Friday unsealed an indictment charging Fieger and his law partner, Vernon Johnson, with illegally reimbursing their employees and others for about $127,000 in political contributions to the 2004 presidential campaign of John Edwards. Fieger also is charged with conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and causing false statements.
Gonzales has been under fire for months for his handling of a variety of issues, including the dismissal of eight U.S. Attorneys.
Fieger plans a news conference at his office Tuesday morning. Famed defense lawyers Alan Dershowitz and Gerry Spence are scheduled to discuss the timing of the indictment and Gonzales's resignation, according to a statement from Fieger's office.
Fieger has filed a motion seeking dismissal of the indictment as a "political and vindictive prosecution." The Justice Department responds: "ridiculous, ludicrous, absurd."
Time was when such charges leveled at the Justice Department would not withstand the light of day. Times have changed. Today almost no one in the legal community questions the fact that the Gonzales Justice Department has been engaged in selective, politically vindictive prosecutions. The only disagreements now are over which cases safely fit into that category.
The evidence for the broader conclusion is overwhelming. Seven Democrats for every Republican. Close coordination with local Republican party officials. Playing the prosecutions to the press. Timing them, like this one, to overlap with critical elections.
No where is it more obvious than in the prosecution of Governor Siegelman in Alabama, which Fieger cites and details in his brief. (Read the Fieger brief here. In an alarming move, the judge ordered the brief stricken because it was printed in the wrong font, so thanks to the Free Press for publishing it.) No doubt Fieger will put it to good use in making his case—if the court allows it.
The epicenter of the corrupt practices has been the very Public Integrity Section which once was a model of ethical conduct and high standards, and today has fallen under the control of political buccaneers. Moreover, recent studies of politically motivated prosecutions have expressed particular worries about the conduct of U.S. Attorneys in Michigan, one of whom figures in the current scandal. In the Eastern District of Michigan, where this case has been brought, 21 Democratic public officials have been charged or linked to corruption inquiries, including the governor, the mayor of Detroit, and several local officials. The way in which these cases were brought and pursued left little doubt as to an intention to achieve political points for the G.O.P. There also appears to be a suspiciously close connection between many of these prosecutions and the political efforts of the Republican Party in Michigan, as the New York Times noted in a story by Eric Lipton published on May 1, 2007. The case against a former Detroit prosecutor, Carl J. Marlinga, handled by the same office as the Fieger case, is now viewed very widely by scholars studying the matter as a clear-cut case of vindictive, politically directed prosecution. So this seems to fit an established modus operandi of corruptly motivated prosecution.
Moreover, the selection of Fieger is particularly suspect. Mr. Fieger supported the campaign of John McCain against President Bush in the Republican primary in Michigan in 2000. The day after the primary, Bush went ballistic in an ad hominem attack against Fieger, attacking him four times in a speech delivered at Lawrence Technological University. The political animus surrounding the targeting of Fieger simply could not be clearer. Neither could the involvement of Alberto Gonzales and other politicos in the Bush Administration in the decision to pursue the matter. It was launched by a raid on the office of a law firm which resulted from the personal order of Gonzales.
This case is still at an early stage. It may be that the prosecutors have a solid case against Fieger. But it is almost certainly the case that Fieger has been picked out for prosecution and resources have been aggressively pumped his way because he is a political enemy of the Bush Administration. Are we, once more, witnessing the Justice Department being wielded as an extended arm of the Republican Party? That may in the end prove an unjust concern, but it is most certainly not "ridiculous, ludicrous and absurd." It seems a no-brainer at this point that if you are playing fast and loose with campaign finance, the question will be dealt with as a routine administrative matter if you're loyal to the Bush Administration, and will face the full prosecutorial fury of the Justice Department if you're deemed a "political enemy."
That's not the way our democracy is supposed to work.

'Bad Girls Club Miami': Really, really bad
The seven women who are forced to cohabit in a waterfront mansion are not only scary but dangerous.
Between the horrific, now-dead Miami Social, ridiculously flippant Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami and train wreck on Red Bull Jersey Shore, our city is getting a bad rap.
Outsiders who watch these reality shows must think all we do in this town is snipe, drive around in souped-up cars, down shots in passé nightclubs and sleep in till noon.
The premiere of Jersey Shore Thursday featured its share of cattiness and infighting between the women, but nothing like you'll witness in Bad Girls Club Miami, premiering at 9 p.m. Tuesday on Oxygen.
The seven women who are forced to cohabit in a waterfront mansion are not only scary but dangerous. They make Snooki on a bender look like a Girl Scout hopped up on Daisy Go Rounds.
Morgan is the wicked one, the self- proclaimed hottest chick in Miami who refuses to go out with her new roomies to Play nightclub because they are too ''ugly." The next night, the four haters gang up on Morgan and her two allies, Kendra (a pam- pered alcoholic from Boston) and Catya (a phony from Philly), after they return from a night at B.E.D. (this hot-in-the- '90s venue stepped in for the Shore crowd, too).
When we say "gang up," it's literal -- the furious foursome grease up their bodies so that fists slide off and rip Morgan down a staircase, almost breaking her neck.
This is seriously soul- shuddering stuff, but there is one redeemable thing about BGC -- it makes a great drinking game. Every time someone yells "B--ch," imbibe. Just don't drive.
