Re: What about moving there?
Hi there,
Well, I have never lived there but have spent a fair amount of time there. It is a nice place but very touristy. I have a friend who lives in St. Davids which is near Niagara and she points out that housing is much cheaper than around Toronto, however, pay rates tend to be lower as well. She also says that you can't expect the same kind of services as you can in larger cities. For example, she cannot find a doctor for herself. Having said this, if you are able to, zipping across the border may be an option. So, like any place, there are trade offs.

Re: What about moving there?
I have to say that NOTL is not 'very touristy,' sure in the summer months the numbers increase, but are you planning on living Main Street? I grew up in this town and love it with all my heart. NOTL has really developed in the last few years. There is plenty of country-side, fresh fruit and veg and plenty to do. Niagara Falls which is a 20 min drive from NOTL is a touristy place. I think you'll really enjoy NOTL if you like small towns.

Plenty going on to keep the Sumner arts scene alive
The Sumner Arts Commission has a number of programs planned this year. We thank the city of Sumner for their continuing support which enables the commission to continue to bring quality art programs to our community.
At 9 a.m. Feb. 21, the commission will be supporting the Sumner School District Art Show at the Sumner High School cafeteria in conjunction with the district Science Fair. The show will feature works done by students in the three middle schools and the two high schools. It is being organized by the art department staff of the five schools. The entries will be judged by a panel of judges plus there will be a people's choice awards. This is the first year for the art show.
The Sumner Arts Commission has partnered once again with Pierce County Libraries for Pierce County Reads 2009. The program runs from Jan. 5 to March 15. The program is an outgrowth of Sumner Reads Together, a program initiated by the Arts Commission in 2004.
This year the featured book is "Three Cups of Tea" written by Greg Mortensen and David Oliver Relin. Mortensen was injured while hiking in the Himalayas and was helped by mountain villagers. In repayment for their kindness, he wanted to help by building schools so children didn't have to walk miles for education. He has built more than 75 schools since his program started.
At 7 p.m. March 14, Pierce County Reads 2009 culminates with a free author event at Clover Park Technical College, Sharon McGavick Conference Center, 4500 Steilacoom Blvd. in Lakewood. Best-selling, award-winning author David Oliver Relin will speak, entertain and sign books.
The Arts Commission's project this year will be handled by Hillary Norris, a Sumner High senior. She is raising money for schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan through "Pennies for Peace," a program associated with the book as her senior project. Donation jars for pennies are located at several Sumner schools, businesses and the city of Sumner. For further information, view Pierce County Libraries Web site at www.piercecountrylibrary.org or the city of Sumner's Web site www.ci.sumner.wa.us.
We hope to see you, your friends and family at our upcoming free events such as the Bellevue Youth Symphony at 7:30 p.m. April 17 at the Sumner Performing Arts Center or the Music off Main concerts in July at both Heritage Park and Rainier View Park.
All of our programs are to make Sumner a more enjoyable community to reside, work or visit. Come on in!
For further information, contact the Sumner Downtown Association at (253)720-9846, or visit their website: www.sumnerdowntown.com. Or contact the City of Sumner at (253) 299-5503 or visit their website: www.ci.sumner.wa.us.

Producer in Houston, Texas
Julio added 29 photos and 7 videos
Julio Antonio Alonzo is an Actor, Screenwriter, & Producer originally from Texas.
Julio first started his entertainment career in the mid 90's as the front man for a successful rap/rock group called Aftershock. The group preformed all over the country and were signed by Retrograde Records, out of Phoenix AZ, which had a national distribution through Sony Red. Julio wrote the lyrics for 'PainKiller' which appeared on the syndicated TV show, 'Nick Freno'.
In 2009, Julio moved to Dallas, TX to pursue a career in acting and film production. He invested with a group of other like minded creatives and co-founded Ludisian Legion Entertainment, LLC a multimedia production company.
He served as CEO and General Sales Manager from 2010-2012 and during his tenure he helped champion and co-produce many successful music-videos, commercials, media spec-spots and several award winning short films.
In the later part of 2012 he left the studio and continued co-writing his first speculative full feature screenplay, "Escorted" with co-writer, Keiland Goffigon. Julio and Keiland had worked together on a previous project that Keiland had written, Julio acted in and they co-produced.
Later that same year, Julio sought out the help of his childhood friend. Credited film & television writer Tony Dreannan, and they spent most of next year co-developing the "Escorted' screenplay. Which is based off of real events in his life. The story is inspired from the day's when he was in-between gigs with his band, and was working as a driver in the subversive world of female escorts.
On a whim he submitted a rough draft of the screenplay to the 2013 Final Draft 'Big Break' Screenwriting Contest, which is made it to the semi-finals.
Julio has not added any credits.

- Hi,
We just released, in beta, a new stitching tool dedicated to stitching videos, called VideoStitch : http://www.video-stitch.com
The stitching engine has been written from scratch to run on the GPU, with the CUDA platform, providing huge speed benefits compared to actual CPU stitcher, which is critical when doing videos.
The calibration part is based on either PTGui or Hugin. We're handling all the common feature, and advanced feature such as masking are coming soon ( even though, it's far from obvious to handle this 2 formats ! many PTGui settings are the inverse or the opposite of the Hugin one )
If you're thinking to go to the 360 market, you should definitely give it a try ! :-)
We have a demo with some footage based on GoPro 2 on the download page if you haven't any camera yet. And it's free to use with an export resolution of 1600x800 while we are in beta.
I would be happy to know what the PanoTools community think about it !
Best regards,
Nicolas - --- In firstname.lastname@example.com, "JerryRoger Hicks" <beachpoet@...> wrote:
Thank you Ayrton for the precision ! :-)
> What do you use video stitch for?
You will use VideoStitch, and more generally 360 videos to have more "life" in your panorama.
But it's still a complicated process at the moment. Hopefully, VideoStitch should help ... on the stitching step.
Another main problem right now is the bandwidth. The video have to be very large, and with low end connection, it doesn't work very well.
But of course all this will evolve very quickly !

Rest & Relaxation
Spring is a time for unwinding in Connecticut, with whatever pursuit you desire. A romantic inn by the sea? Great. The best places to see Connecticut in spring bloom? Check. And always, great food and wonderful places to stay. Come during blossom time and you may never want to leave!
Connecticut in Bloom
The winters in Connecticut are long, but more often than not, spring makes it all worthwhile. There are a number of places in the state where spring is sprung in full glory – indeed, there are special havens where specific flowers and flowering plants dominate the landscape. If you love life and color, here are some spots to take it all in.
Daffodils. One of the season's early risers, daffodils are a welcome presence in nearly every suburban yard in Connecticut. But if you prefer daffodils by the acre rather than the bunch, we've got a little-known sanctuary that amaze you when it's at its peak. Back in 1941, Remy and Virginia Morosani began planting daffodil bulbs on their property at Laurel Ridge on Wigwam Road in Litchfield, near the Thomaston line. Today, each spring, the golden blooms cover some 15 acres. Magnificent!
Azaleas. One of Connecticut's annual joys is the period in spring when it seems every azalea is in bloom. One place where you can witness the profusion of color is in the Nancy Moss Fine Native Azalea Garden at the Connecticut College Arboretum in New London. Established in 1978, the garden houses about 15 different species of azaleas native from Florida to Connecticut. While you're there, be sure to take in the adjacent Josephine Hooker Shain Mountain Laurel Garden as well.
Mountain Laurel. Connecticut's State Flower is everywhere in the state, as only seems appropriate, but one of the great displays anywhere can be found in Union's Nipmuck State Forest. Here you'll find a mile-long Mountain Laurel Sanctuary where the plants reach heights of 15 to 20 feet. First planted in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Sanctuary offers spots for picnicking and joyful contemplation as well.
Dogwood. In 1938, after a weekend visit to Fairfield, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt wrote that there "is an avenue of pink and white dogwood on Greenfield Hill such as I have never seen anywhere else in this country." That's still true today, and every May Fairfield's Dogwood Festival not only highlights the glorious blossoms but also includes a barbecue and dance, walking tours, art and crafts shows and concerts in the sanctuary.
Rhododendron. This wonderfully generous plant grows in profusion throughout Connecticut, and they are well worth a "stop and see the flowers" moment late every spring/early summer. You can find a half-mile-long sanctuary within Pachaug State Forest in Voluntown. The native rosebay rhodies grow to heights of 10 to 15 feet, with leaves up to 10 inches long – all nestled among hemlock and Atlantic white cedar.
Foodie Frenzy
One way to enjoy a relaxing stay in Connecticut is to explore its many outlets for fresh, native foods. In the last 10 or so years, the state has experienced an explosion of outlets offering local treats ranging from cheese and meat to ice cream, fruit and vegetables. Here are a few of the most notable offerings:
Cheese. Suddenly, Connecticut cheese is on everyone's lips. Small dairy farms now make and sell their own cheeses or pack them off to retailers. There's even a Connecticut Cheese Festival every fall. For now, we'll concentrate on a few outlets you can get to this spring. Cato Corner Farm in Colchester raises 40 free-range Jersey cows and makes and ages farmhouse cheeses for sale in its Cheese Room Store ranging from "mild and milky to runny and pungent to sharp and firm." Beaver Brook Farm in Lyme offers a variety of cheeses (Feta, Pleasant Cow and Nehantic Abbey, for instance) as well as yogurt and raw milk. Litchfield's Arethusa Farm raises champion dairy cows, and their products are available at its farm store in Bantam. Cheeses include Al Tavolo, Bella Bantam and Camembert. Fresh milk, yogurt and ice cream are also available.
Meat. If you'd like to take a break from the supermarket meat selections, there are all sorts of meats and meat products now on sale from small Connecticut farms, including beef, bison, lamb, chicken, pork, turkey and veal. You can get a complete rundown on them all here, but here are a few to consider putting on your shopping list. The bison meat offered at Creamery Brook Bison in Brooklyn is hormone- and antibiotic-free and lower in calories and cholesterol than beef. But if it's beef you prefer, you might head for Eagle Wood Farms in Barkhamsted, where pork and eggs are also on sale. In Granby, Maple View Farm sells its own grass-fed beef and pasture-raised pork as well as local eggs and maple syrup. Finally, there's Nodine's Smokehouse's retail store in Goshen, where its wonderfully tasty hams, bacon, sausages and other treats can be found.
Orchard Stores. It doesn't have to be fall for you to go to an orchard store. These are now year-round retailers, offering the best of Connecticut farms, orchards and fields, and often with baked goods and other products as well. You can find a listing of Connecticut orchards here and figure out which have stores as well. The Apple Barrel farm store at Lyman Orchards in Middlefield, for example, has its own bakery as well as mounds of their own orchard apples, pears and berries. Bishop's Orchards in Guilford goes back 140 years, but the farm market there is totally up to date, with local honey, eggs, flowers, bread and more to go along with the orchard's own fresh produce.
Romantic Inns by the Sea
Few things feed romance like a warming spring sea breeze and a room with a view. Whatever it is you choose to do during the day, you can count on a romantic inn at night. It's just one of those things that we do extremely well.
Inn at Stonington. Stonington Borough is one of Connecticut's most charming areas – walkable, historic, surrounded by water and dotted with shops and restaurants. The Inn at Stonington is the perfect spot right in the middle of it all.
Bee & Thistle Inn. Old Lyme is a venerable old Connecticut seashore town, replete with wonderful old houses and views on both the Sound and the Connecticut River. The Bee & Thistle Inn on the Lieutenant River has garnered many "Most Romantic" accolades over the years.
Saybrook Point Inn & Spa. Located right where the Connecticut River meets Long Island Sound in Old Saybrook, the Saybrook Point Inn & Spa offers fine dining, a terrific spa and comfortable rooms – not to mention romantic walks along the water. True romantics should check out the inn's newly opened, adults-only guest house called Three Stories.
Water's Edge Resort & Spa. Do you crave waterfront lodging with all the bells and whistles? Water's Edge Resort & Spa in Westbrook fills the bill with sea-view rooms, extensive grounds, fine dining (including an extraordinary brunch) and a welcoming spa. Your romance will get all the back-up it needs.
Madison Beach Hotel. Do you like the idea of being right on the water, with nothing between you and Long Island Sound except for a strip of sand? Then the Madison Beach Hotel is for you, with fine dining, seaward views galore and the sound of the waves lapping at night.
Covering the Casinos
Connecticut is home to a pair of truly world-class casinos - Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods - separated by only a few miles in Southeastern Connecticut. There are many good reasons to visit them both, of course, (live shows, great food, comfy rooms, lots of games to play) and here we cover some of them in detail. Come hide away on a long spring weekend!
Pampering. What's a casino without a luxury spa? Not much, we'd guess, but our casinos are more than prepared to pamper. The Elemis Spa at Mohegan Sun offers a complete menu of services and beauty treatments, while the G Spa & Salon at Fox Tower Hotel gets very high grades from Internet reviewers. There's even the Norwich Spa at Foxwoods for those who'd like to overnight in a spa setting.
Live Shows. Among the shows scheduled at Foxwoods this spring are Sinbad, Engelbert Humperdinck, Bill Engvall and Barry Manilow. Mohegan Sun features Kevin Hart, The Who, Seth Meyers and Kenny Chesney (not to mention nightly free concerts in the Wolf Den).
Golf. Foxwoods built 36 holes at Lake of Isles – 18 are private, but the other 18 holes are open to the public in one of the finest layouts in New England. You can find a golf package that includes lodging, a round of golf, vouchers for food and gaming and a complimentary drink. Meanwhile, Mohegan Sun is pumping millions into its Mohegan Sun Country Club at Pautipaug. If you like uniquely challenging greens, it's a great place to try.
Shopping. Whether you're browsing or buying, there's a vast array of shops at Connecticut's casinos. At Foxwoods, you'll find Bulgari, Chopard, Pandora, Michael Simon and Hugo Boss. In addition, in May, the casino expects to open up its own 80-store cluster of outlet stores, including Nike, American Eagle and Calvin Klein. Mohegan Sun, meanwhile, offers everything from Coach and Chico's to Puma and Tommy Bahama.
Steak. Do you like steak and other steakhouse fare? If so, the casinos will satisfy your hunger in the most remarkable ways. At Mohegan Sun, there's Michael Jordan's Steak House and Bobby Flay's Bar Americain. At Foxwoods, there's Craftsteak, David Burke Prime and Cedars Steak House. Make sure your appetite is sharp!
Island Hopping
With some 253 miles of shoreline on Long Island Sound and countless others along and around its rivers and lakes, Connecticut is a good place for islands. By one count, there are 180 of them large enough to be named, more than there are Connecticut cities and towns. So why not enjoy one or more of the state's islands this spring? Call it your own. Name it after yourself. Have fun.
Connecticut is home to 23 lighthouses along the Sound, but not many are open to the public. That's not the case with Sheffield Island, off Norwalk, where visitors can hike, picnic and climb up into the lighthouse for a tour. From May through September, the Norwalk Seaport Association runs scheduled cruises to the island.
Depending upon how you define what an island is, there are possibly more than 100 Thimble Islands, off the coast of Branford, but only a couple dozen that are large enough to be inhabited. The Indian name for them translates to "beautiful sea rocks," and on a calm summer morning you can see why. With their pink granite heads poking above the high-water mark (barely, in some cases), they scatter like a handful of charms across the Sound from Indian Neck to Sachem's Head. Want a closer look? Take a cruise through the islands, complete with history and great stories, by going to thimbleislands.com or thimbleislandcruise.com. Or you can just take out a kayak and make up your own stories.
If you're looking for a river island, it's hard to ignore Selden Island in the Connecticut River – at 607 acres, it's the largest island in the state. Selden was once the westernmost extremity of Lyme that jutted into the river, but an 1854 flood altered the landscape and turned it into an island. Today, as Selden Neck State Park, it's Connecticut's only island state park. Its features include marked hiking trails (which pass by the ruins of an ancient farm and a stone quarry, and four boating camp areas – primitive in nature (outhouses and pit fireplaces) but blissfully removed from the workaday world.

For Brand Messages, Distribution Matters.
Why do press releases still matter? I tackled this question in an interview with The Pulse Network at the Inbound Marketing Summit a couple years ago.
A post on PR Daily today questions the value of press release distribution, given the declining number of journalists. [link]
So who really does read press releases these days?
In short, the audience is still vast, and it includes all of your organization's key constituents. Press releases are extremely public means of communications.
- The tens of thousands of credentialed media on PR Newswire for Journalists tally more than one million press release reads each month.
- On PR Newswire.com, the press releases we issue garner more millions more reads each month. Most of those readers find the content via search engines.
- On Twitter, if you search the term "PRNewswire" you'll see an avalanche of tweets referencing press releases – often several per minute.
Our clients tell us the press releases they issue have resulted in coverage on Good Morning America (with no pitching!), increases in landing page traffic of more than 200%, record app downloads and the generation of qualified leads for sales teams. The key take-away is this: all of your brand's constituents are reading the PR content you distribute. Failing to calibrate your content accordingly leaves measurable results on the table.
Distribution drives results.
What drives these results? Distribution. Distributing messages beyond the realms of the journalists on your targeted media lists and your brand's followers on social networks delivers specific and measurable results. Well-crafted messages are found by new audiences, re-distributed across peer and professional networks and are surfaced in search engine results – often for months after the messages are originally issued. Distribution is the key to driving ongoing message discovery and introducing your brand to new constituents.
Disappointing results? Take a hard look at the message.
If your press releases aren't generating results, before you blame your distribution channels, take a look at the messages. Here are some tips for making your press releases relevant, useful and effective in today's connected digital environment:
- Is your content truly interesting and useful to your target audiences? Framing your message in the context of what your audience cares about or will find interesting will enliven your message, and prevent it from reading like a missive from the ivory tower.
- Do your headlines convey the messages that will appeal to audiences? Headlines aren't for branding. They shouldn't be coy. Headlines need to arrest the eyes of your reader, and inspire them to stop, and read your message. Keep the headline short – about a hundred characters. Use a subhead to add the brand mention and additional detail – you needn't be so mindful of length there.
- Do you embed specific and measurable calls to action toward the top of your messages? Give your readers a path to take by providing a link to a relevant web page that will further engage them with your brand. Invite them to read an excerpt of a white paper, view a demo or provide robust Q&A that will answer their obvious questions. In addition to courting media coverage, the press releases you issue are also portals for your brand, and can deliver new audiences right to their doorstep. Don't rely on a link to your homepage that's buried down in the boilerplate. Make it easy for people to find relevant information, and take the next step.
- Is the copy you distribute designed to be easily scanned by readers on all kinds of devices, using bold subheads and bullet points to surface key themes? Many people are reading press releases on tablets and smartphones. Organize the body of your press release content into easy to scan chucks, and use numbered or bulleted lists to draw attention to key points.
- Does your PR team illustrate press releases with visual content, such as videos, images and infographics? We really can't emphasize the value of visuals enough. Search engines and social networks are increasingly visual, and plain text simply doesn't carry the same weight. Relying on plain text reduces the effectiveness of messages.
The practice of public relations today requires an increasingly deft touch. PR Newswire's own distribution network is designed to deliver customized content to the journalists, bloggers, web sites and media outlets that subscribe to our news feeds. Ensuring the content they receive from us is relevant to their interests and areas of coverage is the cornerstone of our media relations programs and services.
Likewise, the development of e-mail pitches and press releases takes a similar deft touch. But don't leave distribution out of the picture. If your organization wants to increase inbound web site traffic, acquire new followers, find new audiences and earn some media along the way, broad outbound distribution of your messages via a service like PR Newswire will deliver measurable results.

Britney Spears' residency at Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino begins tonight, and while people may be anticipating the show, they weren't that excited about E!'s two-hour documentary, I Am Britney Jean, following the four months of preparation for it. USA Today reports the Dec. 22 premiere garnered just 706,000 viewers. As of now, you can catch the full documentary here, though the first riveting question Spears is asked – "What's your favorite bubble gum?"* – may have you switching YouTube channels.
*Answer: "Watermelon. Watermelon bubble gum, man, it's the best. It's so good."

A friend of mine (off and on several times over 30 years) was always the GM. He sometimes had a character of his own in the campaign to act as a guide. The man was always prepared as far as how he saw the campaign going. He always had NPCs, maps, special items, plot twists based on the characters, snacks, sleeping areas when the game went past our own endurance and in the later years he even had multiple monitors and a projector! He wasn't able to get reliable people to join the group, so that fell to me. I recruited around 5 people that was a mixed bag, but reliable and strangely enough, played well together. Things went well for some time.
The only thing he wasn't prepared for was life getting in the way. His second wife had left him, but he was able to get past it off (eventually).
I found the woman of my dreams,and married her shortly afterwards (still together 3 years and still going strong). I couldn't play for days on end anymore and 5 to 6 hours wasn't enough for our professional GM. Some things were insinuated and I left never to return.
Later, I was running games at the local hobby shop (the Hobbit) and a friend of mine showed up. He told me about what happened in the following weeks after I left.
You see, my friend was recently married himself and had the same issues I had with playing late. The GM had confronted him about it and said he had a choice. Get rid of the wife and play, or go.
It wasn't a choice. My friend is still married.
I harbor no ill feelings towards the man, and I pray he is well, but This person once said he was told I was an addict to the game. That is another story, but still...who do you think has the problem?

There are some people who can take anything too far. My players tell me I'm a good GM and they make an effort to come to my games. We generally play 4 hours a week on a Wednesday night.
Sometimes players can't make it due to obligations, wives, kids, work and family all come up at inconvenient times. You just roll with it.
This GM has some big issues, and might need to put some things in perspective. I recommend professional help. This is only a game after all.

Just as a fellow gamer, not as any kind of a professional, I think that there's nothing wrong with the call that you and this other player made.
My friends and I have a saying "Everything is more important than D&D, even D&D". The philosophy being that your life, your family, your job and even your gaming group are all more important than the game itself. Life happens and that needs to be respected. Without respect, you don't have friends and without friends, you don't have a group to game with. Even if you start as only acquaintances that play the same game, friendships grow from that and all the lastly gaming groups that I know of are made up of people that think of each other as friends.
Your GM that you left behind has a different set of priorities than you and this other player. His priorities are his own to have but to enforce them upon others is unfair at the very least. He's not respecting his players and the lives that they have chosen to live, possibly extending his perceived control within the game beyond the table and into the real world. Or at least trying to.
Does he have a problem? I would say so. Is there anything that you or another player can do about it? Not much. You can voice your concern as a friend, point out that you still would like to play with him but that his intolerant attitude makes that difficult. Beyond that friendly comment, you can't really do anything but take care of you and yours. Your GM might have an addiction, he might have a hang up on something else in his life that makes him absorb himself within RPGs and GMing, he might have a God Complex. I don't know him, I can't say. But that's for him to figure out and seek help if he feels he needs it. You can't solve his problem for him any more so than he can tell you to choose a game over your wife.
I hesitate to say it, but I think that we all have encountered someone that is like this with one game or another. It can be sad to lose a friend as you move on in life, leaving behind your friend at the game table. But truly, what can you do? As DM_aka_Dudemeister said:
This is only a game after all.
Davor |
1st: A person doesn't become "addicted" to gaming. An addiction refers to the fundamental altering of your physiology by the item in question. A person can, for example, be addicted to Alcohol, Drugs, etc., but he cannot be addicted to, say, Football. Such a desire would be called an obsession or compulsion.
2nd: Despite the above statement, compulsions can be just as difficult to deal with as addictions. This appears to be one of those cases. D&D/Pathfinder is a game, and while some people may take it further than others, it's still just a game. Part of being mature means realizing that a game, no matter how fun, engaging, or compelling, is insignificant compared to reality.
xanthemann |
I can't say I'm 'looking' for anything. This is more of a therapy session I guess. I mentioned the friendship the GM and I had was on and off for 30 years...I know I did the right thing, but it still weighs on me. (He's not heavy, he's my brother, kind of thing...I think I finally understand that saying...)
Addict may have been the wrong word, but most people understand what is meant. I know you understand Davor. I suppose I used the word 'addict' seeing as how 'committed' to the cause he was.
Choon |
This game, no matter how many days, or years, of investment are poured into it, is still a game. It is not more important than your spouse, family, and life outside of the fictional worlds you create There, I said it. If this core fact is lost or ignored then the game and it's complexity does have the ability to pull you in and replace some core needs that are best filled by others. I know this by the harsh road of experience.
I played another game (not pathfinder or table-tops) nearly to the point where providing for my family was secondary. I was spending up to 8 hrs a day focused on this game and my time "away" often found me occupied with thinking about this game.
My wife (the splendid woman) pulled me back from the brink of total obsession and set me straight. The deep end is a very comfy and fulfilling place, but it also unhealthy. Your friend sounds like he needs some help. It can be scary. I know it scared me.
Davor |
Behavioral addiction
Which, in the original wiki entry for Addiction, is stated as being terminology sometimes applied to compulsive behavior.
It's like calling someone insane, which is fine in the vernacular, but means something different to the psychological and psychiatric community.

Hey, xanthemann, I feel you. When I said that we all know someone like that, I was speaking of a pretty close friend of mine. Similar situation, it hasn't been as extreme, but most of my other friends and I have had to distance ourselves because our priorities have changed. We've spoken to him about his gaming habits and his level of absorption. He's acknowledge us and our concerns, even agreed that he uses his gaming to ignore issues that he's left unresolved for years. But he won't seek help for these issues and continues to game life away, to the determent of his health and relationships.
I'm sorry that you're seeing a friend do the same thing but all that you can do is remind him that you care.
xanthemann |

I thank you for your understanding and I pray for your friend as well. Unfortunately, 'my friend' is no longer my friend. The way he saw it, I was the one with the problem, as well as my other friend who followed shortly afterwards.
We do not keep in touch, but it doesn't prevent me from praying for him.

Not to get all dramatic, but something I read once put gaming of all sorts in perspective for me. I used to be heavily into EQ, and gamed waay too much, even after I got married. I was on every evening and read my guild boards every day, etc.
One day our most reliable cleric posts that he is quitting the game. We were all surprised and disappointed because he never, ever missed any raid or event and was on every day socializing, etc.
He and his wife were only married about three years and were fairly young, in their early 20s. Turns out his wife died in an auto accident, and it made him realize how little free time he had spent with her for the past few years, as compared to how much time he spent on Everquest. He didn't want to waste another day gaming after that, which I could understand and respect, even if it didn't bring his wife back to him. It was sort of a "wake up and smell the coffe" moment for me, and I am glad it happened.
If you put gaming ahead of other things in your life that should be more important and will later regret, you are gaming too much. If you look back and feel that gaming enriched your life made those times with your family and friends better, Bravo, you have the right balance.
A good philosophy that is hard to go wrong with is "Real Life comes first". After all, that NPC won't be there with you when your kid first learns to walk, when you lose your job, when your parent's get sick and go in the hospital, etc. Your wife/husband/significant other and friends will.

Gaming is such a part of me that I grow anxious and depressed when I don't play. However, I recognized when I was focusing on it a little too much early in my marriage and that I needed to start focusing on providing for my family more.
I was at a conference when I texted my wife that I needed to stop gaming. She called and argued that I needed to keep playing. That I needed the creative output because it made me happy. She even told me that my current pursuits didn't make me happy.
Long story short, I gave in and only cut out one of two games. That group is still strong and on our fifth campaign. My wife kicked my butt to my first PaizoCon, where I decided that I wanted to work in the gaming industry. Later she became a gamer and I started a new group just so we could play together, and eventually she helped me start PFS in the area. This last PaizoCon she asked to come along and we had a great week together on the first eal vacation we have had since our honeymoon.
That said, the games are done around life, not the other way around. We still have family time, work, alone time, and go on dates. We are fortunate to have jobs and bosses that allow us to be flexible (I am typing this up at work while things are quiet,) but we have canceled games to help cover shifts or trade with other employees.
My point?
You can balance compulsion and responibility. Some of us have spouses or lives that allow for more gaming, but those are exceptions and rare. For those who are not so fortunate, I understand. We have had three people leave my regular group for life reasons and we wished them well, even offered to help out if needed.
One day, I will have kids. I want to be able to tell them bedtime stories and play games with them. When that time comes, I might be able to do one game a week, instead of the two or three I am currently doing. I hope that my gaming friends will understand and wish me well.

I used to spend all my time on the computer playing various games online. My wife had to sit me down to make me realize that I only saw her for an hour a day becuase I'd come home, eat, and get right on the computer to play.
She put it in perspective for me.
Now I only play video games when I'm home alone and my RPG gaming is usually only every other week on Sundays - also when my wife and kids are not home.
All things in moderation, right?
Mike J |
I think it all comes down to what is important to the person. If the person's priorities are what makes them happy, what is the problem? I wouldn't put gaming before spending time with my wife. But I also wouldn't go golfing instead of watching a Steelers game on TV. I have friends who would rather golf than watch football.
So, this GM values gaming over many other things (not what I would choose). The only faults I can see are not respecting the priorities of others and maybe not living up to his responsibilities (put time/effort into marriages). It isn't clear that gaming led to the divorces, but probably did. If he is happy, good for him. If not, he should change his priorities...

If anyone ever suggested that I leave my wife and kids to play RPGs more, their first problem would be the shower of beverage flying in their direction as I erupted whatever I was drinking in an uncontrollable fit of laughter.
Their second problem would be what they wanted to do after I told them no.
Selgard |
Well, not knowing the whole story, all I can really say is:
First- you and your friend put gaming on a back seat in favor of your wife.
Now, maybe i completely misread what you typed but.. that doesnt' really seem like you are all that addicted to gaming, to me. Whether you use the term clinically or not, we don't usually connect "addicted to" with "sets aside to do something thats more important".
You did the right thing- gaming comes a distant, distant second to gaming of any kind.
I will say though that there's also a difference between "addicted to gaming" and "wanting to get hte heck out of the house and hang out with the group". Everyone needs "their" time and being married doesn't really change that aspect. married couples aren't conjoined twins. You can separate and do still function :)
Now myself, I'm not married.. but I still like going to hang out with my friends. We hang out and do D&D. Some of them hang out also and do other things I prefer not to do. (nothing bad- just not my gig). If they did something non-gamer that I wanted to do and i was invited- I'd go do that too.
But keep in mind- going out with the guys and rolling some dice doesn't necessarily make one addicted to gaming. It can make you "addicted" to getting out of the house and hanging out with the guys though which isn't really a bad thing.
(using the "addicted" term loosely here, of course)
Richard Leonhart |
I know first hand of hard cases of MMORPG addiction, but not P&P rpgs as it's a social thing and thus far can be taken much further as a hobby.
However I don't really see who we shall judge here?
If your GM tells you "your wife or my game", then it's healthy to pick your wife.
The GM is in the right to ask this, if you're the only one that holds "dedicated" players back.
They just weren't compatible. However someone loosing a wife over obession of a hobby is kind of a big hint to overthink priorities.

After consulting with psychologist (master degree, on her way to phd):
As could be expected the wiki entry is partly correct and partly incomplete and inaccurate - Information that equates non-substance addiction to compulsive behavior is erroneous. Addiction and compulsive behavior are two different mechanisms that can be similar from outside point of view. They have different criteria for diagnosis (with some overlap) according to DSM-IV/ICD.
Addiction can but does not have to be chemical. There are diagnosed gambling addictions, internet addiction, computer gaming addiction, etc. While functionally gambling addiction and compulsive gambling can appear the same or very similar to observers, mechanisms that direct the subject will be somewhat different and different treatment would be required. In the circumstances described above we do not have enough information to determine if the OPs friend is showing symptoms of addiction to gaming or compulsive behavior focusing on gaming.
feytharn |
God please no!
Even if David Nutt was reading this thread - there is no such thing as remotely reliable online diagnosis - second hand psychiatric online diagnosis is probably less reliable than rolling the dice!
That said, You definatly made the right call. Once your realize your time (let alone spare time) is limited, you should ponder whether you would rather spend time with your dear ones, even if that time isn't gaming, or spent time gaming, if it isn't with your dear ones.
For me the answer to that was always clear.
xanthemann |
Mind you I am not trying for a true diagnosis of the man. I am trying to get an idea of the possibilities. The guy and I had been friends off and on for over 30 years and I feel a little grief for letting that go. I am very grateful for being married to my wife and I wouldn't trade her for him. All I can really do is wish him well and pray he sees he has a problem.
Hama |
Well, maybe you should try to help him...i mean you have been friends for 30 years. He obviously has a problem. And that problem can be solved. But he cannot do it himself. So he needs help. That's what friends do, they help their friends, even if they don't want to be helped or cannot see that they need help. And from what i read, your friend needs help. Desperately so.
Prayer never helped anybody. Not on it's own anyway.

Oh, I have tried. Prayer has never hurt anyone either, but I don't mean for this to become a religious topic. Beyond his pension for gaming, he also has shunned any and everyone who has tried to help him. He is a very stubborn man. As I said before, we had been friends off and on over the years. He had always been the one to call off our friendship and within a couple of years he would apologize and want to be friends again. This last time he pushed too hard. I am normally a very laid back and forgiving person, but he demanded far too much this time.
I know I did the right thing as far as the choice I made, I just feel for him I suppose.
Hama |
I always thought that a swift kick in the rear should marginaly work.
We had a friend like that, aside from being obsessive, he used to bathe very irregularly and looked horrible. So we secretly recorded his behavior and looks with a few well hidden cameras. We then made an hour long best of video, strapped him to a chair and forced him to watch it clockwork orange style. It sobered him up immediately. Nothing sobers a man up like looking at himself look and act like an idiot.

I find this slightly disturbing. I don't think I could have a healthy friendship with people whom I thought were secretly videotaping me.
It sounds like you guys were obsessing more over his behavior than he was about the game.

Well telling him didn't help, showing him what a mess he lived in didn't help. Explaining to him why girls avoided him like the plague didn't help.
Trust me we felt like a******s while we taped him and made the video, but we really had no other choice. He is our friend, whom we dearly love and we simply HAD to help him.
Man you should have seen the look on his face after he watched it. First sentence out of his mouth was:"And you guys put up with me because?"
We are not proud of what we did, but because of that intervention he is a happily married, contentedly employed father of two. Whatever our methods, they worked, and we are still friends.

The arguments above would seem to indicate that "true" friends never would ever consider stagging an intervention for something more serious.
feytharn |
No, just the secret taping and the fixation while 'making him watch' seem too far off. Believe me, I staged interventions, some of which the friendship didn't survive (while in one case definetly saving a life, still the friendship broke), but there are lines I would not cross. Strapping someone to a chair is one such line. YMMV, of course.
Josh M. |
You could have had an intervention without secretly videotaping him. Now, if it were video footage he was aware of, like at a party or a concert or something, that'd be at least a little less intruding.
That doesn't sound like what you did though. You may have gotten the results you wanted, but at what cost?
Josh M. |
It's simple, he is my friend. He is destroying himself. I will do whatever is necessary barring any physical harm to his person to help him.
On a side note, he might have noticed us taping him a few times, but was too obsessed with other things to care.
Destroying himself? By not bathing regularly and being annoying? We're not talking about a meth-addict with a gambling problem, we're talking about an unhygienic gamer geek.

Nothing sobers a man up like looking at himself look and act like an idiot.
If I thought my friends were secretly making "best of..." tapes of me because they didn't approve of how often I bathe, I'd have a hard time deciding whether to call the cops, or just punch them in the face. I've ended friendships over things far less extreme than this.
You think you "helped" your friend, but did you? Now he gets to look over his shoulder constantly to see if he's being taped. Gee, what other things might you have taped him doing? Now he's going to be walking on eggshells at all times around you, out of fear of being recorded and put on trial again. I know I would be.
The "cost" here, being his trust in you as a friend, and his safety/security of being around friends. Secretly videotaping someone is, in my opinion, a serious breech of trust. Go ahead, secretly videotape someone else and see how they like it.
If someone is unwilling to change their behavior, even when confronted by friends, then maybe this person no longer wants to be your friend? Forcing someone else to behave in a manner unnatural to them, simply for the sake of your comfort, is weirdly authoritarian. Forcing them to be, in a sense, "someone else" just because you don't like who they are naturally. That's just how it appears to me.
Can I ask you something? Who's house did you set up the hidden cameras? Was it his house, or someone else's?
Hama |
Other people's houses, plus, we recorded his kitchen sink (which had fungi growing) and his bathroom (in which we were all scared of going into). And his bedroom that had four year old socks in a pile under the bed with god knows what living in them. Plus he was starting to get a lot of respiratory diseases in that year, mostly because of the fungi spores (i s**t you not). So yeah, we saved him.
As far as we know, he doesn't get jittery every time there is a hidden camera possibly around. He doesn't have any phobias of that and he needed counseling for his obsessive behavior, that he kicked after two years.
Also, i called him after i read your post and honestly asked him if he thinks that what my friends and i did was wrong, and can he trust as now, and he thanked me again for saving his life, told me that he trusts us all and that without us he wouldn't be a happily married father of two wonderful kids who call me uncle.
Let's not express the gratitude his wife has shown us after he told her of the ordeal and what we did for him.
You see that what friends do. They do whatever it takes to help their friend, even if he doesn't want to be helped, or cannot see that he needs help. We love that guy. He is fun, intelligent, loyal and interesting. He has stuck with us through a lot of crap. The least we could do for him is to help him and save his life.
It's not who is your friend when life is easy and fun, it's who stays with you when it's f****d up and hard that counts.
I am sorry if somebody secretly taped you or stalked you or something similar, those things can be horrible and leave emotional scars that never really heal. We did this because we love the guy, and we tried everything else. It was a last moment wake up call.

Let's agree to disagree then. I'm sure there were other ways to handle the situation, but I was not in your situation, so there's that. We obviously have different standards and ideas, so I'm going to just leave it here.
spoilered blah blah blah
Orthos is right; I did make some very heavy-handed assumptions and I did project a lot of my own issues onto yours. For that, I apologize. My situation didn't involve any cameras, but other similar instances(thankfully bathing and hygiene are not issues).
Long story short; some of my closest friends decided my behavior was not "satisfactory" and ostracized me. Refused, as a group, to have any contact with me until I completely changed my behavior and behaved like a good dog. They started out with good intentions; I really was a bit of a jerk. But, it didn't end there. For the following couple years if I so much as sneezed the wrong way I got ripped on and put on trial. I lived walking on eggshells 24/7 and it gave me a complex. Every little thing I did was scrutinized; they might as well have put cameras on me, my life was already under a microscope. But, these were my closest friends of several years, and I had no one else(at the time) to turn to. The one friend who stuck by me, turned out to be behind the whole thing. It was like something out of a damn movie.
So yeah, I erupted and projected when I read what you did to "help" your friend. Everybody has different "buttons," and that just happens to be mine. Not your problem, though.
Honestly, there are things in my life that I'm perfectly okay with that would make other people balk and freak out, so it goes both ways. Different strokes for different folks.

Kinda random, but it's something I was reminded of today.
I find it a lot easier to forgive others than myself.

Holding grudges is a huge waste of energy.
http://www.bikeforums.net you are here!
It's harder forgiving some people than others but eventually if I work at it I'll get through
I do find it hard to forgive sometimes but I do... like Joe said... holding grudges is a waste of time - takes so much energy. I just rather give it up and move on...

I read a quote today that was on this topic. It said: "Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die."
Kinda sobering.
yes....after shooting them a time or two, its easy to forgive and forget. Its the burying part that's kind of hard.

Most of the time I don't even bother to get angry.
I find it easy to forgive, but harder to forget.
Forgiveness means that you are no longer going to demand or expect anything from the person you feel has wronged or hurt you. It is not pretending you did not get hurt, it is not reconciling the wrong or restoring lost trust and it does not mean you have to forget the pain.
Forgiveness is something you iniate and the receiving party does not even have to be aware of the forgiveness. Forgiveness only takes one person. Restoration takes two people.
And no, I no longer find it hard to offer forgiveness to another.

Not me, I'm a vengeful person and will hold a grudge for a hundred years until I right the wrong that has been done to me. Doesn't matter if it is real or percieved. Hate is a virtue that keeps you going and gives you strength.
Me love pho long time.
Depends on what they did and whether or not they understand the problem with it, and show remorse.
Some sort of pithy irrelevant one-liner should go here.
if i am not 'ready' yet, then it isn't easy. Once I am ready, yes, it's easy.
how long it takes to be ready to forgive depends....
You're not trying hard enough. I had a problem with a recipe on Saturday and made the declaration that I was angry at bread. Yes, bread. My fiancee said if I cleaned out the mixer, she'd make it while I took the dog for a walk. I cleaned everything up, but stuck to the fact that I was angry at all bread in general, regardless of its origin; and while I wasn't opposed to her making bread I probably wouldn't eat any until the next day.
The bread she made is delicious, but it doesn't change the fact that twice I've tried recipes from a class I attended, and twice they've failed. I'm no longer angry at bread; that was misplaced anger. Now I am angry with this teacher (who happens to operate a local bakery I will no longer frequent, on the premise that his class and recipes have wasted my time.)

I still haven't forgiven SURLY for getting rid of Black Cherry (red) as a color for the LHT.
I easily forgive most things. Some other things - take longer. The arrogance of the 1972 Miami Dolphins though - might never get over that.
The search for inner peace continues...
Depends what they did. Some people earn my undying loathing ie: my biological father, who is a complete and utter swine. Some dumb cager who blows a red light and nearly hits me? I get over it pretty quickly.
Not an easy forgiver. But that's by my definition. It takes a lot for me to trust people in the first place to full extent (people are really not that good, therefore most are not worthy of trust), and when that trust is broken or betrayed, it will likely never be restored.
That's not to say when they do betray, I curse their existence, but I will never perceive them as I did before. Why would I set myself up for disappointment when the person has already proven to me they aren't competent enough to be considered a good friend?? Sure, we can hang out and have a good time, but no longer will I rely on them, nor be willing to 'take a bullet' for them.
I guess I can understand forgiveness in letting go of a grudge due to a certain incident, but forgiveness as the restoration of what was is something I don't see as deserved...
I put up with little things much better than the average person, but can hold grudges for the bigger things.
I forgive out of selfishness and arrogance. Basically I perceive the other person as simply not worthy of my time or consideration, and that includes time and consideration in plotting to "get even". It's easier and more effective in the end to simply walk away. Although it's not always easy to do.
That said, I don't forget in a hurry. If someone does something to hurt or wrong me in some way, I would be a complete idiot if I gave them the chance to do it again.

I forgive easily. Sometimes too much, but I'd rather live that way. It's easier on my soul.
work tech support long enough and you learn, people are people. It is not worth getting mad at them no matte how mad they happen to be at you. Plus i make really poor choices when angry. So I make it a point to let go of stuff, and try my best to not get angry with other.

Ok...something I've noticed...if your SO is making bread successfully, and the instructor is making bread successfully...then it might be you? At any rate I admire your persistence as I am unable to hate bread after being presented with a fresh loaf. Unless it is pumpernickel, which I can loathe without regret.
Oh, right. Forgiveness. I don't get angry very often but when I do, I get really mad but it only lasts for a bit. Then I immediately feel terrible. Mr Coffeecake informs me that yes, I do hold grudges (I think I am a fairly easy-going live & let live person.) Although I will not fight or express anger with people I do not know well - only family, very close friends, and the SO. When I was little I would refuse to say "I'm sorry" and even now I forget sometimes that it's often the best thing to say.

Place herbs in the cauldron and cut up with knife. Add boiling hot water. Light candle placed in front of cauldron. Say "I, In my humanest from, call forth the powers of this earth and ask them to bless this potion with the ability to aleviate anxiety and instill in the drinker a calm, sober mind. I add a stone of amethyst for sobriety, aventurine for manifestation, jade for healing, and onyx for centering. These stones will further this potions ability." I add stones, and rub my hands together rapidly to create energy. Chant "Calm, serenity, peace, happiness." When enough energy has been created, move the ball of energy towards the potion and place it inside. Move hands around the ball, adding all your energy to it while chanting "calm, serenity, peace, happiness". When your energy feels drained, pick up your wand. Say" With this wand, I bless this potion with the ability to take away the drinkers anxiety and pain and instill in them a calm, sober mind." Stir the potion with your wand, and when energy feels depleted, bring up wand and suck excess potion off the end. Say "I thank you, great earth, for the gift you have given of letting this potion banish anxiety in the drinker. Blessed be." Blow out the candle. The potion may now be drank, or stored for later use. Any excess should be returned to the earth's ground, and not thrown away.

Build a "talking" turkey centerpiece! Each family member writes a message of gratitude on a removable paper feather. Everyone shares their thoughts during your family feast.
Roll aluminum foil into a small ball for a turkey head. Attach with masking tape to the top of a clean, recycled 2-liter plastic bottle to form a seated turkey. Cover the entire bottle and the foil ball with a thin layer of Crayola® Model Magic®. Model Magic sticks to itself and most surfaces!
Build a support for several paper tail feathers on the back with more modeling material. Add wings and feet. To texturize the Model Magic® to look like feathers, press the teeth of a comb directly into the modeling material. Then lay the comb on its side by the indentation and feather it across the surface.
Mold facial features including beak, wattle, eyes, and eyelids. Attach these to the head. Model Magic® dries to the touch overnight and dries completely in 2 to 3 days.
Cut paper feathers from construction paper using Crayola Scissors. Decorate feathers with Crayola Gel Markers. Add Crayola Glitter Glue to feathers and turkey for highlights. Air-dry the glue.
Encourage everyone at your holiday feast to reflect upon their gratitude of the past year and to record these thoughts on the feathers with markers. Insert each feather in back of turkey body in a fan shape. At an appropriate time during your get-together, pluck the feathers and share your messages of thanksgiving.

Fam Pract Manag. 2000 May;7(5):63.
April 6
It was the message a physician never wants to hear. Mrs. Thompson had called my house to say that her husband, Carl, had had a heart attack or possibly a stroke. An elderly man, Carl had been discharged from the hospital two weeks before after a bout of intractable nausea and vomiting that, for a number of reasons, I had written off as a bad gastroenteritis. His abdominal series had been negative, and he was dressed, taking fluids and ready to sign himself out the next morning. I made him promise to go for an upper GI as an outpatient, which he did. It was normal.
Two weeks later, Carl's wife called to say he had been vomiting all night, but he refused to come in. I prescribed Compazine, and his vomiting had stopped by morning. That evening, he experienced a near-sudden-death episode while sitting on the toilet. A neighbor started CPR, and Carl survived his arrival at the hospital but was severely dehydrated and hypokalemic, in renal failure and anuric, with evidence of pancreatitis and a large, evolving MI. That's when I received the call.
We corrected Carl's fluid and electrolyte abnormalities that night but transferred him to a tertiary care center the following morning. There, he continued to deteriorate and was taken to surgery, where he was found to have a small bowel obstruction, infarcting too much of his small bowel to resect. His belly was closed and his life support was turned off.
I agonized over Carl for several days. Could I have been more insistent about his being seen or should I have called him an ambulance? Was I too complacent or just not paying enough attention? Would it have made a difference? Carl was one of those bad-outcome patients we live with, feel bad about and beat ourselves up over and who, in their death, remind us that we all have feet of clay.
The last straw
April 10
Adam, a young internist in town, told me today he's thinking of going into anesthesiology. He says he likes primary care but isn't making any money at it, and the paperwork — especially for preauthorizations — is killing him.
Recently, after prescribing Celebrex for an 87-year-old female patient, he received a questionnaire about it from the patient's insurance company. "First, they asked how old the patient is. They know how old she is; they insure her and have her Social Security number," Adam said. "Then they asked if she's ever had a trial of any other anti-inflammatories. They know she has tried several others because their pharmacy filled those prescriptions. Then they asked if she's ever had a bleeding ulcer. They know she had one two years ago because they paid for her hospitalization. Finally, they asked if her arthritis is a chronic condition. They know it is because they've insured her for 20 years and she's carried that diagnosis all along.
"Why are they doing this?" Adam asked. "Are they stupid? No, they're just hassling me. At least, in anesthesiology, someone else has to get the authorizations — the patient, the surgeon, the referring doctor — anyone but me."
If Adam were making good money, he probably wouldn't care about the hassles, but he doesn't feel he earns what he's worth. "If I were the best car mechanic in town, or the best builder, I could charge what I liked and people would pay it," he once told me. "But we're all paid the same for what we do, regardless of our skill."
I saw his point. Insurance companies, HMOs and employers don't really credential us; we credential ourselves. Given equal credentials, payers don't have to concern themselves with which physicians provide superior care, only with which come in with the lowest bid or which will accept their terms for preferred provider status. "But don't you care about the quality of care?" I once asked a managed care executive.
"Oh," he said, "quality is assured when you've been granted a medical degree or board certification. We assume you're all the same after that."
Juggling act
April 13
Isabel, my office manager, constantly amazes me with the number of tasks she is able to perform simultaneously. Yesterday morning she had both phone lines going. On one was a patient needing an appointment for an annual physical; on the other was a claims representative for an insurance company. A patient was sitting in front of her waiting to schedule a return appointment, and in walked a new patient who needed to register — while I had just placed some tubes of blood on her desk that required processing. Somewhere in the waiting room an impish preteen was dropping medicine bottles from our collection into our fish tank, and a drug rep was hovering about waiting for the opportunity to pass out some Post-Its and pens. Someone less adept would have cried uncle, but Isabel seems to thrive on tasks. She says staying busy makes the time go faster. "Boy, that was an exhausting day," she'll say at 5 p.m. "Would you mind backing up the files for me? I'm late for dance class."

One to Watch: Alice Eve's Bombshell-Meets-Girl-Next-Door Style Is Our Latest Obsession
The sunny blonde is known for playing sweet-as-pie stunners in movies like She's Out of My League and Sex and the City 2 (remember Charlotte's hot Irish nanny?), but it's Alice Eve's eye for glamour off screen that has us officially hooked on her knockout style. Thankfully, her new film The Raven means lots of red-carpet appearances from the gorgeous Brit, who's affinity for feminine dresses, curve-conscious fits, and designers like Prada and Miu Miu drew us in. We love most that she pulls off the sexy angle just as easily as she works her sweet side — she's both a total bombshell and the totally approachable girl next door. See how she does it with a look at 25 of Alice Eve's best yet.

I'm just glad a celebrity is not afraid of wearing glasses whether it's prescription or not. It's not something anyone should feel ashamed of and it's such a big trend in the real world that it's nice to see it being a normalized part of attire by celebs.

Thank goodness for an unapologetically full-figured woman! Let's hope fame doesn't send her to the salad-for-lunch-every day-for-10-years club ala Jennifer Aniston.

Comments about Bowsers Padded Car Seat Cover:
This seat cover fits my SUV front seat well, except that when a dog has a lot of shedding, it still gets on the seat. The bottom part does not cover the seat well, so when my boxer moves around, it shifts a bit and her hair gets on the side of the seat. It covers the back well. I think this is better for a small dog and a dog that does not shed.
