When you secretly sniff you fingers after fingering a girl for the purpose of knowing if it is safe to eat her out or not.
I went down on her, but I made sure I did the smell check first.
بواسطة Fluff Nasty مارس 26, 2009
A check done by men during foreplay to see if a chick is clean enough to eat out. The guy fingers the chick's pussy and then he gets his fingers back into range of his nose to sniff without the chick noticing. It is easily done behind her back while kissing the side of her neck
Porn stars do not do the Smell-Check; 'Regualr' guys do.

A discreet and quick whiff of the underarms to find out how bad you smell; usually disguised as an awkward strech or yawn

ORGANISERS of the Lake District's 11th annual air extravaganza, taking place on July 23 and 24, have revealed their display line-up.
The Windermere Air Festival kicks off on the Saturday with the breathtaking acrobatics of the Breitling Wing Walkers, performing a sequence of manoeuvres and handstands whilst strapped to the top wings of the team's Boeing Stearman biplanes.
First day visitors will also be treated to the RedHawks' air show act with a slow, gentle and graceful four-minute, three-dimensional aerial ballet performed to soothing music by a pair of 42 year-old, wooden, high-efficiency aeroplanes, designed by French musician, artist, ceramicist and sculptor Réné Fournier.
Another Saturday highlight will be the RAF Falcons parachute display team, now in their 50th year.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will grace the skies above Windermere on both days with special flights from the Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster Bomber.
The RV8tors will be flying their remarkably fast Vans RV-8's with powerful smoke systems, performing an exciting and memorable display.
Combining close formation aerobatics with speeds up to 230 mph, the display makes large manoeuvres that fill the sky and leave big smoke trails.
Also appearing at the festival will be the RAF Tucano and the RAF Hawk.
Both spectacular in their own right the Hawk display team will demonstrate the professional excellence of the RAF while the Tucano display consists of 21 manoeuvres including an offset barrel roll, stall turn, oblique loop and reverse wingover.
On Sunday, the Twister Duo will create a display of formation barrel loops, rolls and gravity defying zoom climbs.
The highlight of the weekend is set to be the renowned ambassadors of the RAF and everyone's favourite – The Red Arrows.
Having missed last year's Lakeland air show, the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, have been confirmed to headline 2011's festival.
Appearing at the air festival is a welcome return for Squadron Leader Graeme Bagnall.
Graeme, who is Red 10, is the team's commentator and on the ground safety supervisor.
He was educated at nearby St Bee's School, in Cumbria.
Mr Bagnall said: "We are really looking forward to displaying at Windermere.
"It's a stunning location and will definitely be a highlight of the display season for me.
"I can't wait to meet the crowd when I'm on the ground at the show doing the commentary for the Team.
"You get a real buzz from seeing how the audience reacts to the displays."
The RAF Red Arrows have been wowing audiences since their first season in 1965, they have flown over 4,000 displays in 52 countries.
Today the Red Arrows are renowned throughout the world,acting as ambassadors for Great Britain when displaying overseas.
They also support UK industry by demonstrating the capabilities of British equipment and expertise.
Lucy Bennett, a director of the air festival, said: "It's such a coup for us to host the Red Arrows this year.
"They put on such a fantastic display and really add some excitement to the programme.
"The highly acclaimed displays are filled full of twists, turns, drama and excitement - they are definitely not one to be missed."
Attractions on the ground at the Air Base include the military village, battle re-enactments and flying simulator, new kids have-a-go activities plus face painting, circus skills, music and great local food stalls.
The Windermere Air Festival 2011 takes place on Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24. The Air Base is located on the Glebe in Bowness-on-Windermere. For further information, click on the website below.

'VERY knowledgable' staff at a popular Kendal attraction are celebrating after securing a top accreditation.
Kendal Museum has been accredited as a Quality Assured Visitor Attraction - an assessment run by Visit England and recognises customer service and visitor experience at attractions across the country.
A Visit England assessor praised the strong collections, recognising the effort that has gone into creating a well-balanced wildlife gallery and the considerable effort that has been put into modernising the Wainwright Gallery.
In a report, the assessor said of the museum: "The Wildlife Gallery succeeds in presenting specimens from five continents in an imaginative and lively fashion that can be readily grasped by children".
Learning facilities for children were also praised along with 'excellent' reading books being available.
The Wainwright Gallery was also commended for its cabinets and the assessor said that the staff 'engaged well and were very knowledgeable'.
The assessor summed up his judgement and reported: "There is a wealth of excellent material in the museum – with the Wildlife Gallery and the Wainwright exhibits showing what can be achieved. The possibilities for mutually beneficial exchanges of skills with college courses and museum qualifications seem exciting. There is huge potential scope for the Museum."

The Rugby Football Union will not name a new permanent England coach until after the 2012 Six Nations.
Current assistant Graham Rowntree and Saxons head coach Stuart Lancaster will take charge in the interim. The RFU will continue to search for a permanent solution, and are expected to name Martin Johnson's successor before England's tour to South Africa next June.
Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder and former Italy and South Africa coach Nick Mallett are believed to be the front-runners.
Meanwhile, Rob Andrew will remain in the RFU as elite rugby director, but he won't be involved with the senior team. Reports from England confirm that Andrew will instead have responsibility for other representative sides and the relationship with Premiership Rugby, which run the domestic game.

We need to champion the role of social care providers, says Care England chief
Caring Times Latest
As Prime Minister David Cameron re-shuffled his Cabinet, Care England chief executive Professor Martin Green said the new administration provided as good an opportunity as ever to ensure that social care was given the attention it deserves, saying that social care underfunding could no longer remain off limits.
"We welcome the new Government but, given the precarious state of health and social care, it needs to remember that we will judge them on their performance," said Prof. Green.
"There has been too much of a chasm between the rhetoric of integrated care and the reality of a social care system that is undervalued and underfunded. What we need is a change in culture that recognises the value of social care. These are exciting times and it is also time for action.
"The social care sector has borne the brunt of much … Read More »
King's Fund to host conference on enhanced health in care homes
Caring Times Latest
A conference hosted by The King's Fund will look at ways to reduce hospital bed use and improve quality of life for people living in care homes.
Speakers will examine how the NHS could work in partnership with providers and commissioners of adult social care to develop integrated systems of shared care and support. Enhanced health in care homes: developing integrated care – what role do care homes play? will take place on Thursday, 2nd July at The King's Fund in central London.
With the Care Act now in force, and enhanced health in care homes included as a new model in the NHS five year forward view, the King's Fund says this is a timely conference that will look at how local areas can join up services for people living in care homes.

More than half of councils unable to meet all requests for care
Caring Times latest
Almost half councils in the UK (48%) are unable to provide care for everyone who requests it at the first point of asking, according to research conducted by the nursing and care staff agency Prestige Nursing + Care.
Freedom of Information requests submitted to 103 UK councils for the period 1st – 31st January 2015 showed that almost half of Councils were unable to find a care provider to cover all care requests. The number of unfilled hours ranged from 21 hours to 4,124 over the month. The average number of hours not placed at the first point of asking across all councils was 582 per month – equivalent to the hours worked by five additional care workers. When assessing just those councils where not all care was immediately placed, this rose to an average of 1,221 hours per … Read More »
RNHA calls on candidates to sign-up to social care pledges
Caring Times Latest
Candidates of all the political parties contesting the 2015 general election have been called on by the Registered Nursing Home Association (RNHA) to sign up to five pledges on the care of older people.
The RNHA believes the level of priority politicians give to the country's older citizens says a lot about the kind of society we live in. It wants candidates who succeed in the election to pursue the pledges whether they are in government or in opposition. In essence, the RNHA is asking new MPs to:
1. Make sure there are enough nursing homes in the country to meet the needs of older people who need 24-hour care by qualified nurses;
2. Involve care providers and service users in planning services for the post-war baby boomer bulge in the over-80s that will come in the 2030s;
3. Create a new … Read More »
Pilot course in care catering qualification
Caring Times Latest
A course in professional catering and cookery for the health and social care sector is being piloted at Barnet and Southgate College in North London.
The NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Professional Cookery in Health and Social Care Catering is described as the first professional qualification for the sector. A result of collaboration between the National Association of Care Catering (NACC), the Hospital Caterers Association (HCA), and Barnet and Southgate College, the 20-week pilot course and qualification aims to address the absence of a recognised formal professional catering qualification dedicated to the health and social care sector.
NACC national chair Neel Radia said the course upholds a joint commitment to continuously improve the quality and standard of food in health and social care settings, and to position catering in this specific field as a viable and progressive career choice.

CQC adopts 9% increase in registration fees
Caring Times Latest
Following a 9% increase for 2015/16, care homes will have to pay considerably more in registration fees from April.
The Care Quality Commission announced the increase in late March, following a public consultation last year and approval from the Secretary of State for Health. In the announcement, CQC gave the example a care home with 21 to 25 beds, which would have to pay an increase of £238.
The regulator said it would publish a calculator on its website in April to help providers work out their exact fees for 2015/16, alongside detailed fees guidance.
In the summer, CQC will introduce the option for providers to pay by instalments and by direct debit, to help them manage their cash flows.
GMB joins corporates in warning of care homes crisis
Caring Times Latest
Four Seasons Health Care, Bupa and HC-One, the three biggest operators in the UK's £24bn care home market, have been joined by the GMB union in warning that the system is in crisis.
GMB, which includes care home staff in its membership, have publicly support the warning from Britain's biggest providers of care homes for elderly people that cuts to public funding for residents are 'unsustainable' and that more homes will close unless the situation improves. GMB national officer for social care Justin Bowden said repeated warnings from GMB that Southern Cross would collapse had been repeatedly ignored by government.
"Warnings that the entire care sector is in a slow motion collapse, albeit for different reasons to Southern Cross, are falling on the same deaf ears," said Mr Bowden.
"If we are not prepared to learn the lessons of history, we … Read More »
Report recommends free social care for terminally-ill people
Caring Times Latest
A report published by the Health Select Committee published in mid-March has reviewed the state of end of life care, making a number of recommendations for improvement, including that social care should be free at the end of life.
Based on evidence from clinicians, charities and palliative care experts, the report found 'great variation in quality and practice across both acute and community settings' in England.
End-of-life care is defined as people expected to die within 12 months, most of whom will have incurable or progressive illnesses like dementia. Care minister Norman Lamb has said that the Government is looking carefully at a policy of free end-of-life care.
George McNamara, head of policy and public affairs at the Alzheimer's Society, said people with dementia were currently obliged to pay a "dementia tax" of thousands of pounds for essential care, especially towards … Read More »
Guidance issued on displaying ratings
Caring Times Latest
Guidance issued on displaying ratings Final guidance has been issued by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) on how care providers should display their performance ratings determined by the regulator.
CQC has developed a suite of posters that will be automatically generated through the regulator's website for all care services that receive a CQC rating to download, print and display.
CQC chief executive David Behan said people could expect to start seeing performance ratings on provider websites as well as across premises, public entrances and waiting areas of care services from 1st April.
"We know that our ratings are an important source of information to support people's choice of service," said Mr Behan.
"The aim of this new requirement is all about helping to achieve better awareness and greater transparency for members of the public about which care services are Outstanding, Good, Require … Read More »
Homecare report highlights councils' meagre payment
Caring Times Latest
Using data obtained under freedom of information legislation, the United Kingdom Homecare Association (UKHCA) has released figures which it says show the national and regional picture of under-funding of homecare services for older people across the United Kingdom.
The UKHCA says its report exposes the level of risk that councils in Great Britain (and health and social care trusts in Northern Ireland) place on a system intended to support older people. Of the 203 authorities where an average price could be established, just 28 councils paid their independent and voluntary sector homecare providers fees at or above UKHCA's minimum price for homecare of £15.74 per hour. The average price for an hour for homecare for older people in a sample week was:
United Kingdom: £13.66 per hour
England: £13.77 per hour
Wales: £14.28 per hour
Scotland: £13.68 per hour
Northern Ireland: £11.35 per hour

Ivan Krastev:
Can democracy exist without trust?
It seems the more we know about how democracy works — through government transparency, better media coverage, even new insights about our brains — the less we trust democracy itself. Yet it's still, arguably, the best system of government available. As Ivan Krastev says, "What went right is also what went wrong." Can democracy survive?

GumTree lowers the barrier between users and complex instrument hardwares. It aims to provide a single entry point to all supporting infrastructures that are required for performing scientific experiment.
GumTree provides user friendly graphical interference to communicate and monitor the hardware via the instrument control system. The current supported control system is the SINQ Instrument Control Software from PSI. Support for other popular control system such as TANGO and EPICS are under construction.
GumTree integrates instrument control as well as data analysis feature into a single application. The data analysis suite can be used as a standalone tool, or embedded into the experiment logic. This enable users to perform live data processing, as an important tool evaluate data quality during an experiment. GumTree provides data analysis API such as common data model, error propagation, 1D/2D visualisation, and XML based processor framework to chain up analysis code blocks into a reduction algorithm.
GumTree uses the Java scripting API (JSR-223) to allow a number of scripting languages interacting with the GumTree at runtime, for example, users can combine instrument control and data analysis features in a single script. Since GumTree is built on top of the Eclipse IDE platform, users can embed existing scripting IDE plug-ins to provide code editing and auto completion.
Workflow is a new way of automating a combination of taskes in a graphical manner. It is sometimes referred as visual scripting, or service mashup. Like scripting, a workflow can integrate different kinds of task like instrument control and data processing, and execute as automation.
The vision of GumTree is to provide a single entry point for users to interact with various services that are available in the instrument newtork. Usually a network provides access to instrument control system, database, portal system, data archive system, or even grid/cloud infrastructure for high performance computing. Via the plug-in architecture, developers can easily provides their system connectors and those available as services to the rest of the GumTree system.
GumTree is also a generic framework for building desktop applications. All features are designed to be highly reusable and packaged as individual components. Developers can take part of GumTree and embed to their own Eclipse Rich Client Platform or OSGi based application.
GumTree can be run as a server process to service external web clients. The GumTree is equipped with ReSTful web service which promotes better integration with other Web 2.0 internet applications.
GumTree is open source and is backed by a number of powerful and popular open source technologies for cost effectiveness. This also means developers can modify and redistribute any part GumTree for their own use.

It's time to meet your match, people—your four-legged match! Once again the ASPCA is teaming up with dozens of animal shelters across the country for the second-annual ASPCA Mega Match-a-thon! This weekend (October 18-20), nearly 40 animal rescues across the country are joining forces to co-host some epic adoption events. We threw down more than $278,000 in grants to help make it happen.
Last year's Mega Match-a-thon saw more than 6,100 pets adopted in just one weekend! Can we top that number? Yes, we can!
So what can you do to help? So much! Check it out:
- First, find out if there's an adoption event near you this weekend by visiting your local shelter's website.
- Second, go to said event and adopt, adopt, adopt! You can also volunteer your time; shelters can always use an extra hand…or four.
- And, finally, don't forget to spread the word! Share this article on Facebook and Twitter and make sure everyone makes adoption their first option this weekend and every day of the year. Be sure to follow the hashtag #MegaMatch for event details and updates of pets across America finding new homes!
To see the cute mugs of adoptable animals in your area, visit our nationwide database of cats and dogs looking for good homes.
To see a list of the organizations across the country hosting events, please visit our Pressroom.
Sensational animals in shelters across America just waiting for their forever homes. ASPCA, I wish you the greatest success with your Mega Match-a-thon adoptions. Hope you break last year's record. Shelter dogs and cats are the sweetest, the bestest in the world.
I don't know what the hashtag thing is or where to find it. Couldn't you just provide a list of places that are holding the adoption event?
A hashtag is how you follow information on Twitter, so when they post information about MMAT all weekend, that will be the easiest way to get updates - via Twitter. You can also check your local shelters to see if they are participating, or put in your zipcode and ASPCA will specify if there are any setup near you. We have 2 being held in Colorado, and I am really excited to be participating again this year!!
I agree with Lisa. Haven't a clue what hashtag means or does!
I third Betsey and Lisa! Please provide a list of events or at least a link to find my local shelter via zipcode. Thanks!
The people who create websites online assume that everyone is on twitter or that everyone is technologically savvy. A big mistake! ASPCA - PLEASE LIST THE LOCATIONS.
Well said! It's a terrible way to communicate and get the message out.
I think someone went to great effort to set this up for these pets but the information distribution is really bad. I'm not computer illiterate but I've spend many hours this evening trying to get organized where to go tomorrow and I haven't a clue

The kickass survival site for anyone who's ever been lied to, cheated on and left for dead.
Saturday, May 29, 2010
1. Thanks to the Infidelity Diet, I became as skinny as I was in high school. Which would have been great, except that I felt like I'd been run over by a truck. Which I had. Figuratively speaking.
2. I can no longer watch ANY movie or TV show that has infidelity as even a minor part of the storyline without hating it. I've walked out of theatres because my reaction to it is so visceral.
3. I can no longer meet anyone named Sara without immediately casting her as a vile dirtbag. (Sorry, ladies named Sara.)
4. I can no longer wear certain clothes (even faves) from the "betrayal era" without being transported back, even briefly.
5. I can no longer wear my wedding ring, look at wedding pictures or feel proud of my anniversary.
6. I find it hard to hide my incredulity when my husband gets freaky about the kids not washing their hands before eating. "You had unprotected sex with the most visited vagina in the city," I want to scream. Except that my kids are there and then I'd have to explain what Mommy meant.
7. There is a certain model and color of car that will forever be branded in my brain, turning an otherwise lovely day into a lovely day with a stab of pain. And, of course, it's an enormously popular make and color.
8. I can no longer join in the conversation when people talk disparagingly of cheaters and their dumb/pathetic/self-righteous/insert-adjective-here wives. Because I'm married to a cheater. And I'm the insert-adjective-here wife.
9. Every frigging song on the radio is about falling in love. Or being cheated on. Except – thank-you radio gods – Lady GaGa.
10. And finally, because I will never be free to completely trust anyone ever again. Except myself. So maybe that makes it a good thing.
Your thoughts??

Here's another: After you discover your (ex-)spouse's infidelity, it throws the whole rest of your marriage into doubt, in two senses: 1) You wonder what was REALLY going on during those years when you thought everything was fine & good, and 2) You can hardly or not at all remember any good times, even if intellectually you know there were many, over many years...ReplyDelete
And then here's another: That you wonder if you'll EVER get over being angry for the rest of your life, and whether you even SHOULD get over being angry.
Yes, true on both accounts in my case. Which time were fact...and which fiction?ReplyDelete
But yes, you should get over being angry -- for yourself. Hardening yourself against pain just ends up punishing you. And I do believe you get over the anger -- with work and patience. And life is a whole lot sweeter when you do. It's also a lot clearer. Anger clouds our ability to truly see. We think it's protecting us, but it's an illusion. Boundaries protect us. And when they're in place, anger tends to dissipate because we're taking care of ourselves. Anger, as my wise therapist often reminds me, is a secondary emotion -- fuelled by hurt or fear or both. Address the hurt/fear and the anger will dissolve.

"Anger, as my wise therapist often reminds me, is a secondary emotion -- fuelled by hurt or fear or both. Address the hurt/fear and the anger will dissolve."ReplyDelete
My therapist has told me that too, but my anger hasn't "dissolved." I'm certainly no longer swamped by it, but when I think about my ex for more than 30 seconds, I'm angry--mainly, I think, because he has sailed off happily into the sunset, with a new wife who feeds his narcissism, and he seems not to have suffered one iota for one second. I, on the other hand, I will have a VERY hard time ever trusting any man again, so I'll probably be alone (in that sense) for the rest of my life. And that imbalance looks HUGELY unjust to me. And THAT makes me angry, and continues to, whenever I think about it. If nothing else, the fact that my grown kids still have an intermittent relationship with him makes me think about him from time to time.
But yes, I'm finally starting to realize that I actually enjoy being able to do the things I want, when I want, without having to compromise or negotiate with a partner. And that is indeed a nice thing.
But if you have more responses to this, I'd be glad to read them!
Yes, I can imagine it's hard to think that he's blissfully happy in his new life and you're left with a pile of broken dreams. I had a similar experience with an ex-boyfriend of mine. We were serious and considering marriage...until he got another woman pregnant (oops -- shoulda used a condom!). We broke up but stayed in touch and he married another woman (not the woman he got pregnant, though he still pays child support). I was sure that he'd gone off to have a pefectly wonderful life without me and I felt very angry and ripped off.ReplyDelete
A few years ago this ex contacted me to meet for a drink. I did and enjoyed catching up (I had been close with his whole family). I was getting ready to say good-bye when he made a pass at me.
In that instant, I knew that he was exactly who he had always been. Someone who lied. Someone who cheated. Someone who screwed other people's lives.
And, in that instant, I felt so much better off without him, though it had taken YEARS to even go a day without thinking about him.
My guess is that your ex is as big an ass as he ever was. And unless he decides to take a good long look at himself, he always will be.
You, on the other hand, have the chance to create positive change in your life. With a clean slate. With some baggage, sure. But who among us doesn't carry a mis-matched set of baggage?
Hang in there. I don't mean to sound all Pollyanna on you...but you really are the lucky one. His new wife?? Not so much...

The other day, I took a little longer than normal to run a couple of errands. I bought something cute for my grandson, so I decided to take a quick detour and drop it off. As I was driving home, I get a call from him asking me where I was, it doesn't take that long to go do that.....I said I dropped off something by my daughter's house that I bought. He says you didn't tell me you were going to do that and got pissy about it.........I got off the phone and said to myself, WTF! You lied and cheated for over a year and you're concerned about me being 20 minutes late from shopping? Yeah, the irony of them being concerned about germs or being a few minutes late when they themselves are guilty of it big time!ReplyDelete
- twice bittenAugust 12, 2010 at 10:35 PM
oh yes, the irony is what gets me. having emails telling me, "make sure your career pride doesn't come before our marriage" meanwhile he's sleeping with someone else in our house.ReplyDelete

And I can't even listen to Lady Gaga since the way I found out about his EA was because he took his gf to the concert. Looks like I'm stuck with NPR.ReplyDelete
wow, just came across this post... it was written before my marriage went to hell in a handbasket...they are right on, the whole list...I could have written it! Love your blog, keep it up!ReplyDeleteReplies
Feel free to add to the list. I'm sure there are more than 10 reasons why infidelity sucks!!Delete
ok, I have one... everytime I hear the "ding" on his phone I think it's HER...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 12, 2013 at 9:27 PM
i resently found out.trying to keep it between us,we have 2 kids.15yrs together.he drinks ,lime,watch women.never thought he had it in him to cheat.found out accidently over a phone conversation.known her 4yrs he been in contact with her a yr.we talk want it to work.he said no sex.i have no evidence.what do you do when its hurting,does it go away?trust and respect big deal in marriage.when does trust start coming in? ihave been calm,reasonable ,still being positive because its the way i am.i am angry,so emotional an i get really upset for the slightess thing. i need peace of mind .im so suspicious now.looking back now i should of pick up on the cheating.i was so trusting and stupid in love.need advice ,want to move forward ,dont want to go crazy.is there a full an happy after infidelity?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 30, 2013 at 6:32 PM
11. He could be with me physically, but I never know where his mind and heart are. Is he secretly thinking fondly of her while he is sitting at the dinner table with us, his family.ReplyDelete
12. He's clearly demonstrated that he WILL do what feels good to him without any regard for me....all while appearing to be 'husband' to me. Gee, he appears to be 'husband' now. Is he being genuine or is this just more acting? I cannot tell the difference.
13. My choice is either to carry the weight of his ugly secrets every day to preserve our 'marriage' image OR to share the secrets and risk judgment, unwanted comments, and disapproving thoughts and/or verbalizations of others. Both suck.
14. His infidelity has changed e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. I cannot respect a man who is not protective of his wife and children, but instead who risks their emotional well-being and makes conscious choices to actually harm them.
15. There is NO safety...NO specialness....NO trust after infidelity. There is nothing special about me or our marriage. Cheating made that perfectly clear. Oh, he says otherwise. But, considering he is now an established liar, how do I believe anything he says...even when 'backed up' by actions? Actions can be fake just the way words can be lies.
ok...I guess I'll stop there....

Regarding the name thing the OW has the same name as one of my kids. :-S MYRReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 7, 2014 at 7:57 PM
I have one that's probably pretty unique to us but here goes:ReplyDelete
My husband likes to say he's always right. This predates even our marriage. Now every time he says it it pisses me off & we have a fight. And he says what do u mean? I AM always right. WTF? I finally said (I thought it was obvious) were u right to have an affair? Then he modified it & said not in my actions. Again WTF? So ur right in ur thoughts but do the wrong thing anyway? Maybe that's not something to brag about.
He's not always right. Nobody is always right. And anyone who thinks they are is incredibly insecure (which, incidentally, is often why people have affairs). Tell him that every time he insists he's "always" right when his behaviour was so incredibly hurtful is simply adding insult to injury. If he continues to do it, then he's sending a pretty clear message that his ego matters more than your feelings.
16. Feeling afraid to go around in your own city because you might run into her and you can't guarantee you won't do something unsafe.ReplyDelete
17. Which goes along with, scoping out wherever you go to make sure she's not there.
18. Wasting time and energy monitoring him.
19. Banning yourself from certain stores, hotels, brands, restaurants, cities because they were there together.
20. Being unable to accept your husband's gifts because they're the same kinds of gifts he bought her.
21. Going into a panic if he doesn't answer texts, calls, emails right away or gets home late.
22. Losing sleep lying in bed thinking about him, her, and why we weren't good enough.Replies
I remember well that horrible sense of foreboding any time I left my home. It does get easier with time. I no longer get a knot in my stomach when I see a certain make of car (in fact, I don't even notice it anymore). I've forgotten many of the details re. restaurants, streets, etc. I sometimes though rarely panic when I can't reach him. But his reassurance generally brings us even closer.
Hang in there. As long as you're each doing the work to rebuild, this rest will get better with time.
- AnonymousApril 29, 2015 at 10:10 AM
I don't know who the OW was (he met her on the internet and they only met in person the one time before he ended it), and I don't want to know. It's over, and since she wasn't someone who was a friend of ours, I think finding out her name would just be pain-shopping. Supposedly she was going to leave town (she was only here on a work visa that was set to expire soon). But honestly, there are times that every women I run into in our city, every female store clerk, every woman I walk past, I will wonder, "Is that her? Is she the one?" I have nightmares that we will bump into her while we are out on a family walk and she will humiliate me in public by saying something.ReplyDelete
I don't even know where she lived, all I know is it was an apartment (again, I don't really want to know, I think that's more information than I need). I get triggered every time I go past an apartment complex, wondering if that was the building where he met with her. :(
I don't have those thoughts as much as I did in the beginning (we're at 10 months post D-day), but they're still there. I hate the thought that they most likely never go away completely.
I promise you, they will go away. I've been exactly where you are. And now...I'm not. Don't give in to those thoughts. You'll spiral down. Distract yourself, snap an elastic on your wrist...anything so that you stop yourself from that wondering. As you've noticed, the thoughts are decreasing. That will continue until you don't have them at all. Hallelujah!

A Jew is defined by Orthodox Judaism as a person born to a jewish mother only(according to other jews it includes the family too), and since his mother was jewish he is considered a jewish even according to the most strict religious sects of judaism.
Sam Harris is therefore defined by jewish religious law as "Apiqoros" (the religious term for "Atheist" or basically anyone who holds a philosophical viewpoint which contradicts the jewish religion specifically). An "Apiqoros" is a name taken from the name of Epicurus who first raied the question of the problem of evil, and in our days many jews have in fact raised that question after the holocaust.
And according to Maimonides an "Apiqoros" must be killed. and why orthodox rabbi's arn't ordering to kill all jewish atheists? (except for neturei karta and other very extreme fundamentalists)
the answer is quite obvious, they can't, because reality will smite them.

SACS are hoping that a memorable overseas tour will translate into local success when they host Paarl Boys on Saturday.
While the SACS 1st XV has struggled in the WP Premier A this season, they won all five of their matches in South America, including a 16-13 win over Buenos Aires' Cardinal Newman (regarded as the continent's 'Grey College'). Paarl Boys are coming off the back of a 29-23 victory against Oakdale.
In other Western Cape matches this weekend, Bishops will host Tygerberg with both teams having played Nico Malan in their previous fixtures (Tygerberg thrashed their opponents 53-17 while Bishops won 33-10).
HTS Drostdy will host Boland Landbou, Oakdale travel to Paul Roos (who will be without their SA Schools stars), Paarl Gym meet Outeniqua, Rondebosch entertain Brackenfell and Rangers-Silvertree go to Wynberg.

This week's Spotlight is on Dr. Adam Gazzaley of UC San Francisco, where he is the founding director of the Neuroscience Imaging Center and an Associate Professor in Neurology, Physiology and Psychiatry. His work was featured in Nature in September 2013.
Below is an excerpt from our interview (you can read the complete Spotlight here):
NVIDIA: Adam, how are you using GPU computing in your research?
Adam: We are working with a distributed team (UCSF, Stanford, UCSD and Eye Vapor) to CUDA-enable EEG (electroencephalography) processing to increase the fidelity of real-time brain activity recordings.
The goal is to more accurately represent the brain sources and neural networks, as well as to perform real-time artifact correction and mental state decoding. Not only will this improve the visualization capabilities, but more importantly, it will move EEG closer to being a real-time scientific tool.
Where CUDA and the GPU really excel is with very intense computations that use large matrices. We generate that type of data when we're recording real-time brain activity across many electrodes.
NVIDIA: Describe the hardware/software platform currently in use by the development team.
Adam: We primarily use Python, MATLAB and C/C++. Our software is routinely executed on a range of platforms, including Linux (running Fedora 18), Windows 7, and Mac OS (Snow Leopard and Lion).Hardware we currently make use of includes NVIDIA Tesla K20s (for calculations), NVIDIA Quadro 5000s (for visualization) and two Intel Quad-core CPUs.
We use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 x64 with CUDA 5.0, with the TCC driver for the Tesla GPUs. The Nvidia Nsight debugging tools are used with Visual Studio to optimize the code performance and get a better idea of what is happening 'under the hood' of the GPUs in real time.
NVIDIA: What approaches did the software team find useful for CUDA development?
Adam: Much of the initial focus has been on translating existing MATLAB scripts to CUDA C++. Our engineers first wrote the sequential C++ translation of the MATLAB script, and from there wrote the equivalent CUDA C++ code. That way the results from all three implementations could be compared for accuracy and running time.
In general, we found that the CUDA convex optimization implementations scale very well, and run significantly faster than both sequential C++ and MATLAB. The fact that there is a fast interface between MATLAB and CUDA means that we have a number of viable options when it comes to development, and can selectively export the heavy lifting to the GPU. [Ed: for more on GPU computing in MATLAB, read our post "Prototyping Algorithms and Testing CUDA Kernels in MATLAB".]
NVIDIA: What types of parallel algorithms are being implemented?
Adam: For the signal processing and machine learning aspects of our research, we make extensive use of BLAS and LAPACK libraries for solving systems of equations and performing other linear algebraic operations. We also routinely use FFTs for spectral analysis.
CUDA has proved invaluable in accelerating these processes. In particular, we have developed a CUDA implementation of the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) algorithm (Boyd et al, 2011) for distributed convex optimization. Solutions to many biophysical inverse problems we deal with (source localization, dynamical system identification, etc.) can be approximated by use of regularized and/or sparse linear regression. ADMM is well-suited for such problems, and with CUDA we can substantially scale up the size/complexity of the models while maintaining performance suitable for real-time analysis.
In addition, we are finishing work on a CUDA implementation of a second-order cone program (SOCP), an additional convex optimization which we will be using to implement a fast l1l2-norm inverse solver.
Also, our engineering team has written hybrid CPU/GPU implementations of algorithms useful for directed acyclic graphs. Since many brain-related data sets can be modeled as graphs, there is much new work that can and will be done in this area.
The libraries used were cuBLAS, cuSPARSE and Thrust. For the sensor-based EEG work, the matrices tend to be dense so cuBLAS was preferred. The cuSPARSE library was used to convert some of the native MATLAB sparse formats into the cuBLAS dense formats, because that was the fastest method of format conversion available. We did have to write a number of custom CUDA C++ algorithms for our work, like a dense Cholesky factoring kernel.
NVIDIA: If you had more computing power, what could you do?
Adam: Many of the present challenges in real-time, non-invasive brain monitoring amount to accurately inferring (i.e. learning, or identifying) the parameters of statistical models of ongoing brain activity from very limited amounts of observed data.
To achieve this goal, we must optimize very large numbers of parameters, which can be computationally prohibitive on ordinary serial computing architectures. With increased computing power afforded by parallel computing architectures, we can dramatically scale up the complexity of our models—both in terms of the number of model parameters as well as the computational complexity of the algorithms used to find an optimal solution—without sacrificing real-time processing capabilities.

The Raceway 2-bike bumper rack is perfect if you need to carry bikes but dont want a rack permanently mounted to your car. It attaches to your vehicle via high strength cables that also lock the rack to the vehicle.

Comments about Thule 9001 Raceway 2 Trunk Rack:
Solid build, solid support. You can lock the rack, even the bike. But bike lock is flimsy. Invest in a better cable. Too heavy, some folks will find it hard to install. But it's easy to remove and fold. Unfolded and carrying a bike, it looks great but will block your rear view when driving. Folded and not carrying a bike, it's like a huge alien spider hitching a ride on the back of your car. Makes your car look like a tow car, too. Will I buy it again? No. Definitely not. It needs to be lighter and lower.

Comments about Thule 9001 Raceway 2 Trunk Rack:
This is the best trunk mounted rack that I have used. Easy to setup and adjust to your car. Also, the locking wire tension knobs is a nice touch. With that said, I have decided that hitch mount racks with a base that the bike wheels sit in are much much better. Easier, faster, and more sturdy to put bikes on and off. If a trunk mount rack is your only option, this works well. If not, definitely get a hitch mounted rack.

Comments about Thule 9001 Raceway 2 Trunk Rack:
The product works fine. I have more confidence in it, that it will not fall off.
It held at highway speeds of over 75 MPH.
My only issue with it, is on my car (1994 Honda Prelude Si) I lost about 6 - 7 MPG fuel efficiency. I usually get 30 - 32 MPG highway, I was pushing 25.x. But that's what you get for adding a ton of drag.
Also, I used this on a trip from Chicago to DC and had to only tighten the straps a little once.

Club competitions
National team competitions
18-17, 20-17, 14-23, 22-23
Paris Levallois used a strong third quarter to come back and claim a hard-fought 80-74 road victory over Szolnoki Olaj in the winner-takes-all clash for a place in the last eight of the EuroChallenge.
With the two teams locked together in the standings behind BCM Gravelines, the objective was clear for both sets of players, setting up a tense, sometimes frantic contest.
The lead changed hands 17 times with seven ties until Paris claimed it, seemingly for good, early in the third quarter.
They did so with an 8-0 charge that turned a 38-34 deficit into a 42-38 edge on John Cox's three-point play.
Two big threes from Antoine Diot soon after afforded them a 53-46 edge but Szolnoki kept scrapping and Paris needed Andrew Albicy's free throws to finish the third quarter with a 57-52 lead.
Albicy then opened the final stanza with a three-pointer but Szolnoki were not done yet and they would bring themselves level once more when Ernests Kalve hit a pair of free throws to follow James Florence's three and make it 69-69 with 4:45 to go.
Florence's jump-shot cancelled out Sean May's for Paris, but the visitors from France began to edge clear again as May's three followed Cox's jumper to make it 76-71 with 2:51 to play.
Tensions then seemed to get the better of both teams as neither added to their score for 110 seconds, Diot eventually ending the drought when he split a pair of free thows with 61 seconds to go.
Akos Horvath then missed a three-pointer for Szolnoki and Paris were able to put the game away from the line.
May led Paris with 26 points while Jonathan Aka had 16 and Cox 12.
Marton Bader's 13 points led Szolnoki with Kalve adding 11 and Florence 10.
Szolnoki Olaj head coach Nedeljko Asceric
"Congratulations for Paris. We played well but tonight we didn't have the extra performance at the end. Maybe because we had a lot of important games before."
Szolnoki player Istvan Nemeth
"We could have won this game. We lost our concentration at the end of the game and maybe that is why we lost. They deserved this win tonight."
Paris Levallois head coach Christophe Denis
"It was a hard game. It was a close game for 40 minutes. We knew that if we stayed close to Szolnoki, we will win this game because in the final of the game we will make it hard for them. It was an excellent job of both teams tonight."
Paris Levallois player Maleye Ndoye
"It was a very good and hard game. We had no choice but to win this game. We stayed close to Szolnok for the whole game and at the end of the game we made a lot of hard shots and they missed."

The Internet is not a single network; rather, it is a group of thousands of individual networks connecting thousands of computers all over the world and millions of individual subscribers, which have chosen to allow traffic to pass among them. The traffic sent out to the Internet may actually traverse several different networks before it reaches its destination. The Internet was developed to support open research and education in and among US research and instructional institutions, plus research arms of for-profit firms when engaged in open scholarly communication and research.The Internet connection for W-TCPL is provided through OPLIN (Ohio Public Library Information Network), a state-funded program.Philosophy of Library Internet UseThe Internet is a tool for lifelong learning. Users may access and use resources from computers around the world, significantly expanding their available information base. All users will be granted free and equal access to as many network services as W-TCPL's policy and technology allow.Computer and Internet access are a privilege, not a right, which may be revoked at any time for abusive conduct. Such conduct includes, but is not limited to violations listed under APPROPRIATE USE OF LIBRARY COMPUTERS, below. Users will adhere to the policies and procedures established by the library and by the administrators of any networks accessed. Use of computing resources must follow the guidelines of all the networks traversed.Disclaimer on Net contentThe Internet service contains material of a controversial nature. The library and OPLIN do not have control of the information on the Internet, nor do they provide any barriers to users accessing the full range of information available, other than those constraints imposed by finite resources or federal eRate reimbursement requirements. Other sites accessible via the Internet may contain material that is illegal, defamatory, inaccurate, or potentially offensive to some people. While the library's intent is to make Internet access available to further the educational and informational needs of its users, users will have the ability to access other materials as well. In offering Internet access, the library staff cannot control access points, which often change rapidly and unpredictably. Many Internet access providers set their systems to offer users a menu of choices. By controlling what choices appear on the menu, users can be limited to specific services. The open and interconnected nature of the Net, however, makes such attempts almost futile. Because the Internet is a fluid environment, the information which will be available to users is constantly changing; therefore, it is impossible to predict with certainty what information might be located. Users must be aware that there are many services available on the Internet that could potentially be offensive to certain groups of users. The library and OPLIN cannot eliminate access to all such services, nor could they even begin to identify them. Thus individual users must take responsibility for their own actions in navigating the network. Parents of minor children must assume responsibility for their children's use of the Internet in the library.Third Party Supplied InformationOpinions, advice, services and all other information expressed by users, information providers, service providers, or other third party personnel on the Internet are those of the provider and not of W-TCPL or OPLIN. Users are urged to seek professional advice for specific, individual situations. Use of any information obtained via W-TCPL is at your own risk. W-TCPL specifically denies any responsibility for the accuracy or quality of information obtained through its services. W-TCPL exercises no control whatsoever over the content of the information residing on or passing through the Internet. W-TCPL makes no warranties of any kind, whether expressed or implied, for the Internet service it is providing. W-TCPL also disclaims any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.Most information available on the Internet is made available under identifiable constraints - users can find out who has "published" the information, and how it was collected. If the source of information is not clear, it must be treated very differently than when sources are clear and reputable.Connectivity & System UseThe library will attempt to keep equipment and the local network fully operational. However, the library is not responsible for system failures at the local or wider levels. There is no guarantee that the operation of the system will be uninterrupted or error-free or that defects in the system will be corrected. Internet access is provided on an "as is, as available" basis. W-TCPL will not be responsible for any damages, direct or indirect, arising from use of its connections to Internet services. This includes loss of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries, misdeliveries, or service interruptions caused by W-TCPL's own negligence or the user's errors or omissions. Some sources may not be available at some times.Internet functions not supportedThe library will provide electronic mail accounts for designated staff members for use in fulfilling their job functions. Public users may access E-mail accounts on other networks, but the library will not provide E-mail accounts. (WARNING: Users of electronic mail systems should be aware that electronic mail in its present form cannot be secured and is, therefore, extremely vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification.) Listserves are not available to public users of library computers. W-TCPL does not provide any data storage for public users. Users must download to their own storage media or print. Social Internet chat rooms and instand messaging services for juveniles, and visiting "X-rates" web sites are prohibited by this library's Internet use policies.Who can use the Internet from library-based computers:The Internet may be accessed by any library user, except those who have been sanctioned for improper use. Parents of minor children must assume responsibility for their children's use of the Internet in the library.Appropriate uses of library computersEffective March 20, 2001, Trumbull County residents using library computers must have a valid Warren-Trumbull County Library card in good standing. Library computers may be used for word processing, data organization and analysis, database research, Internet access (other than chat sites) and other applications for personal or educational purposes. Users are expected to observe appropriate computer etiquette at all times. This includes:1. Be polite, using appropriate language. Never send or encourage others to send abusive, threatening, libelous, slanderous or harassing materials. Avoid offensive or inflammatory speech. Never swear, use vulgarities, obscenities or any other inappropriate language. Your monitor is visible to other users.2. Be responsible. Do not disrupt the use of others, whether in the library or connected to the Internet. It is not acceptable to use library computers to interfere with or disrupt network users, services, or equipment. Disruptions include, but are not limited to, distribution of unsolicited advertising; the uploading or creation of embedded messages, computer viruses, worms, etc.; using the network to make unauthorized entry to any other machine accessible via the network (hacking); destruction or damage to equipment, software, or data belonging to the library, any of the agencies or other networks that are connected to OPLIN or the NSFNET Internet backbone, or other users. "Computer viruses" are programs developed as pranks to destroy computer programs and data.3. Respect copyright laws. Users may download copyrighted material for their own use. Any user may also non-commercially redistribute a copyrighted program with the expressed permission of the owner or authorized person. Permission must be specified in the document or must be obtained directly from the author. Users may save public domain programs for their own use on their own device or non-commercially redistribute a public domain program. User assumes all risks regarding the determination of whether a program is in the public domain. Unauthorized copying of copyright-protected material or violation of software license agreements is a violation of federal law.4. Be ethical.

2013 Tablet Comparison Chart
To compare tablets side by side, click on up to four different tablets from the list above. You can also sort by popularity or price and filter by connectivity, size and OS. This tablet comparison chart allows you to compare all the top tablet PCs on the market, but which of these specs is most important? Are there other factors that you should consider when choosing a tablet?
Android, iOS or Something Else?
The most important thing to consider when doing a tablet comparison is the operating system. Apple was first to market with their iOS platform and therefore have the biggest market share and the largest amount of apps in their app store. Google is the second most popular tablet operating system with their Android OS. The newest competitor in the tablet space is Microsoft. The software giant introduced Windows RT and Windows 8 for tablets in late 2012. Microsoft makes own tablet called Surface and companies like Dell, Acer and ASUS are making Windows RT and Windows 8 tablets as well. It is still unclear how tablets with these new versions of Windows will be accepted by consumers, but if you need to use Microsoft Office on the go, you should probably look into one of these new devices.
Android Tablets vs iPad
Apple's iPad is an incredible device and leads the market in tablet sales. Having more than a year head start on the competition, Apple has nearly cornered the market. They offer a mature operating system with a large free and paid application portfolio in the Apple App Store. However, when looking for the best tablet pc, there are reasons to choose Android over iOS.
The iPad is a very closed system compared to Android. Most tablets with Android allow more freedom when it comes to installing apps and customizing your experience. Manufacturers are also free to make interface changes and customize Android. This allows different companies to offer their own variations of Android. More choice means more competition and progress!
Compare Android Tablets
Because there are many different manufacturers and developers in the Android tablet community, the choices and options are much higher (especially than Apple's single option). When comparing tablets, it's important to look at:
- Screen: Is it multi-touch? What is the size and resolution?
- Processor: Is it fast enough to handle your tasks? Is it single, dual or quad core?
- Memory: Does it have enough RAM to run all the apps you need?
- Storage: Can you fit all your apps and media on it? Is the memory expandable?
One of the most important things you'll want to consider when doing a tablet comparison is the screen. Does it have a multi-touch screen or a single-touch screen? Some tablets also come with a stylus for those who don't like to use their fingers on the screen. You should also consider the screen resolution to make sure it's high enough quality for your needs. The latest generation of Apple and Google tablets feature very high resolution screens which Apple refers to as "Retina displays." These screens offer such a high resolution that the individual pixels are not visible to the eye. Most tablet reviews spend a lot of time focused on the screen quality since this is one of the most important qualities for a new tablet.
The processor capabilities are also something to look at. If you have a single-core 800 Mhz processor, it probably won't be fast enough for doing much more than web surfing and a few basic tasks at once. You should look for at least 1 Ghz or faster and preferably dual-core or quad-core processors. There are many tablet differences, but processor speed is one of the most noticeable.
Some tablets come with a really small amount of RAM which can cause problems when trying to run multiple apps. You should look for a tablet with at least 1 GB of RAM if you plan on multitasking. The more RAM, the better!
Storage is one of the most expensive things in a tablet (at least the most expensive add-on). Do you need a lot of memory or can you store most of your media and files in the cloud? The Kindle Fire HD, for example, comes with a lot of cloud storage for your media, so it doesn't need so much on board storage. If possible, get a tablet with expandable storage in the form of a micoSD slot. This will allow you to inexpensively expand your storage in the future.
For a more detailed look at comparing tablets, check out our Guide to Android Tablet Comparison.
If you're looking for a tablet-like notebook, you could also consider a new Intel based Ultrabook. This new class of notebook is similar to a tablet in terms of weight and screen size, but has a more traditional keyboard and touchpad approach and use full Windows 7. Do a little notebook comparison with this Ultrabook Comparison Tool.

Some stuff from my sketchbook.
The first page was from national geographic, the second is me being goofy with my mouth and teeth + some caricatures.
The second set, I was working with 'Constructive Anatomy' by Geo B. Bridgeman (I "borrowed" my art teacher's copy). I tried not to copy it too much and used my own style of drawing in it >_>

EVERYONE: Thank you for your comments! They made me feel oodles better after being rejected by art center XD
Rustveld: I use a moleskine sketchbook.
They have an awesome leathery black cover with yellow tinted pages and white edges They are totally kickass and you can find them at most art stores (xept for Michaels and Aaron Brothers) and you can find them at BORDERS
I bought my first at Utrecht (sent it to CalArts) and I got my second one at Borders. They are a bit pricey at I think about $18 for 100 paged sketchbook(thats about the size of a journal). I got the Borders one at $12 cause I had a coupon >_>

I did the San Jose Stat Uni. figure drawing workshop for high schoolers last week (har my parents didn't know about it sshh).
The instructor taught us to draw the shape of the forms before hand and made us concentrate on the torso... I really suck at rectangles >_>
I have horrible perspective on these since I'm more used to just gesture work, capturing the form quickly so I just trust my eye on most things... This makes me break down the form and made me realized.. I've got a really long way to go before I get any good >_>
April 11th, 2009 #25
Five starts already? Yay you! Nice studies, both the observation and imagination ones.
Everyone is into the moleskine. I got one but meh, never used it. I like the Windson & Newton leathery artist's journal far better. Not as pricey, but still pricey and more posh looking.

Those new studies look great. I find the rectangular method rather handy, too because it's so easy to derail everything without that box keeping things straight. What caught my eye this time round was your sketch of the females with the blue coloring - great flowing lines and the touches of blue (Highlighter? Marker?) really make them stand out. Hee to the sci-fi. XD Good to see the variety in those.
