A Relaxing Weekend Getaway
We would definitely go back to the Charming Beach House!
Beach Cottage
CONS: Not for anyone who has trouble walking. Entire area (beach city) steep inclines. Car parking extremely dificult to find around town. Take lots of quarters and read the meters carefully. Saw cars towed on a daily basis. We left our car parked in the garage and walked everywhere, great workout, faster then driving around and around looking for parking. For this reason and only this reason I couldn't give it 5 stars. I would recommend this property to family and friends.
Wonderful stay in MB!
Great getaway

Bio 500 Tour
My new Bio 500 Tour arrived today.
Initial observations:
It's 5 grams under specs, balance seems to be 3 pts HL as advertised.
Dry swings feels good, not too light nor too heavy. Estimated SW is 310-315.
Head shape is different from Bio 400T, more narrow and longer.
Pattern is very open, much more then 400T, similar to Tec Tfight.
It's factory prestrung with dunlop silk at high tension (about 60 lbs)
Grip size is 2, and with overgrip it's perfect for me. I had to rewrap grip on my Bio 400T (G3) very tightly to get similar result.
More to come tommorrow after my double session.
Dunlop put a strung weight on their rackets which will surely have a bit of flexibility depending on what it is strung with, but 5g under is good as it will be close to spot on with a dampener.
The head shape on the 400T is different, its a different mold to the previous Bio's, more like the new models.
I went for the grip size 2 as well. I have small hands so although I switched the grip to the biomimetic tour replacement grip, I dont bother now with an overgrip and the feel is great.
The Bio's do just feel like quality rackets, I even think the silk is ok.
The 500T is a very popular racket for a reason. Enjoy.
i had the old ag 500tour and loved it for serves.
you should not have gotten pre strung though........
Have 3 Aero 500's, one weighted with now 20 grams of weight, 12 at 10-2, and 8 at the buttcap under the overgrip.
I like the lighter ones better, every time, against anyone, for match play. I like rallying and hitting with the heavier one, for sure.
I find holding the racket down by 1/4" makes a huge difference in SW, enough to compensate for the light weight of the rackets.
And to compensate for mishits and twisting, I still use 4 5/8th with an overgrip.
Can't imagine how anyone can hit volleys off hard passing shots with a grip smaller than 1/2.
Quick update after my tennis session:
Sweet spot of Bio 500T is smaller then most 100 inch head size racquets and because of narrow head shape it plays more like 98 inch size racquet imo.
Power level was simmilar to 400T, but i got more action on the ball with 400T. Though string jobs are different (fresh full poly on 400T, silk on 500T).
With full poly at lower tension it may be different animal.
It have very nice crisp feel, but not metallic like Tfight for example.
Although beam width is 25 mm, racquet don't feel as clumsy as some other wider beam racquets because of narrower head shape and i think it is heading
more towards all court performance than most 100 inch head size racquets.
It plays like 300 Tour on steroids. 400T is more suited for pure baseline play imo.
Bio 500T is more stable than 400T in stock form, and i don't think i will need to modify weight (maybe just heavier grip to make it a bit more HL)
Though today i played better with 400T (more consistent with fewer UE) i'm looking forward to try 500T again eventually with poly strings.
And its not that difficult.
What's your full poly of choice in the 400T?
Dude, 60 lbs strings are ridiculous, unless you are Monfils size.
I run 52 on my 500's, and it's too stiff, tight, and low powered with good control. I can go down to 48, I'm sure.
Can't tell a racket is right or wrong with 60 lbs.
A stiff racket works well with looser strings.
If my pro open has multi at any less than 56, it catapults.
Strange, it don't seem to catapult for Federer, Nadal, or Djokovic.
Maybe you hit harder than them?
Actually, I should retract moire's last post.
I seldom get "catapult" problems when I swing at every ball.
I usually get that problem when I"m defensive blocking the ball, and the catapult effect causes the ball to go long.
When I swing out fast and strong, the ball is usually under control, if I insure to add positive spin to the shot.
Good idea, to use a strong no good player uses, and it catapults for you, and probably will cause arm problems in the future with a 67 stiffness racket at 60 lbs. tension.
Dunlop500T's average about a 70 stiffness rating.
Does that sound like your racket?
I used a 4D 500 tour with a full gut setup @ 60. I added two grams of lead @ 3 and 9 and another two grams under the grip. I had great success with it, but it got to my shoulder.
As said, I just wonder why so many of us are using tensions well higher than what the top 10 ATP pros use?
You can cite multi's, or whatever, but the fact remains, thems hit harder than us, so why are we using 60lbs. in a normal sized racket (90-100)?
And with frame stiffnesse's getting close to 70, we should DECREASE string tension.
When I get my 300 re-strung I won't go too high on the tension, I think a lower tension sounds like it would be more comfortable.

Brandon Sun - ONLINE EDITION
Sun spotlight shines on Fowler
After two decades of curling success, 2012 produced Rob Fowler's crowning achievement so far.
Fowler, 37, skipped Brandon's first team to win the provincial men's curling title since his father did it 1987, and went on to guide Manitoba to third place at the Tim Hortons Brier national championship. That dream season, combined with Fowler's past success, led the Brandon Sun's board of selectors to name him the 55th winner of the H.L. (Krug) Crawford Award, emblematic of sporting excellence in southwestern Manitoba.
The 1998 provincial mixed champion and a three-time Manitoba men's winner as Jeff Stoughton's second (2007, 2009, 2010), Fowler's victory as a skip at the provincial Safeway Championship was something he had dreamed of virtually since the first time he slid out of the hack.
"That was a huge highlight, not only our season but really kind of for my curling career," said Fowler, who was supported by third Allan Lyburn of Brandon as well as second Richard Daneault and lead Derek Samagalski of Winnipeg. "I think as a little kid that's something that you dream about doing, and all the work that's been put in over the years I think was vindicated when we had a chance to win the Safeway Championship."
Fowler's dream was fuelled in part by the success of his parents. In addition to the men's title won by his father, Brian, Rob's mother, Lois, has won six provincial championships — four in women's, one in senior women's and a mixed crown on her son's 1998 team.
"I think that they were both very proud parents at the Brier last year and they're definitely a big part of it," said Rob Fowler, whose sister Rhonda Ritchie is also a former provincial women's champion. "The whole family has kind of grown up around the curling rink and obviously take a lot of pride in what we've been able to accomplish."
Not to be overlooked are the contributions of Fowler's teammates, particularly Lyburn, who was a worthy contender for the award himself as an all-star at both the Safeway Championship and the Brier in Saskatoon. The longtime friends have proven to complement one another perfectly.
"We played together back kind of in the late '90s, early 2000s and of course he was the skip and I played third," Fowler said. "And this time around I was wanting to skip and he agreed that it was a good time for him to play third, so I think the fact that we've walked a mile in each other's shoes helps. There's times out there when something needs to be said, but there's times where maybe it's good to just not say anything and let the skip go ahead and play a shot. And I think Allan, because he skipped, understands that."
In their second season together, the Fowler foursome had a remarkable run, placing ninth on the World Curling Tour's order of merit and entering the Safeway Championship in Dauphin as the third seed. They lost their first playoff game before reeling off five straight victories — including one in the Page playoffs against his former teammate Stoughton.
"I think we really felt that it was possible for us to do what we did after we beat Stoughton on Saturday night in the 3-4 game," Fowler recalls. "Obviously at that time he was the current world champion and to beat him on Saturday night and to get within two games of the provincial championship in Dauphin, I think that's when kind of you could start to taste it."
Fowler followed that by beating his former junior teammate William Lyburn — Allan's brother — 6-5 in the semifinal before upsetting ex-Brandonite and WCT money-leader Mike McEwen 10-6 for the historic title.
At the Brier, the Manitobans came on strong down the stretch, finishing with an 8-3 round-robin record and advancing to the semifinal where they lost an 8-6 heartbreaker to Alberta's Kevin Koe. Not content to go home empty-handed, Manitoba rebounded to edge Jamie Koe of the Northwest Territories/Yukon 8-7 in an extra end to win the bronze medal.
"Bouncing back with the win in the bronze-medal game gave us something to come home with and I think that showed a lot about our team," Fowler said.
As proud of a moment as that was, Fowler hopes that it's not the peak of his career as a skip. In fact, it only reinforced the desire his team has to get back to the Brier and take another run at a national title.
"That is the best feeling you can have in curling, representing your province in a big environment like what's at the Brier," he said. "The cashspiels are great and that allows us to prepare for provincials, but there's no feeling like winning a province and having the chance to represent your province in the Brier."

The difficulty in narrowing down the field for athlete of the year is reflected in our stellar group of runners-up this season.
The list of candidates for the annual H.L. (Krug) Crawford Memorial Award was so strong that 2011 winner Mark Stone — the WHL's 2012 most sportsmanlike player and Canada's goal leader in the 2012 world junior championship — and 2009 winner Lisa Barclay — the MVP at the 2012 CIS women's volleyball nationals — narrowly missed the final cut.
Here are our four runners-up, listed in alphabetical order:
Accidentally ommitted in our initial list of 16 finalists for athlete of the year, the 24-year-old Brandonite capped a remarkable season by being named Canadian university hockey's male player of the year in 2012. An all-Canadian centre, Clark led the Acadia Axemen and the Atlantic conference in scoring with 15 goals and 39 points in 28 games. A former 40-goal scorer with the WHL's Brandon Wheat Kings in 2008-09 — his fourth and final season in the WHL — Clark is currently second in conference scoring with nine goals and 21 points in 16 games.
The 17-year-old Neepawa native is currently serving as an alternate captain for Canada at the world women's under-18 hockey championship after winning a gold medal at the 2012 worlds. Krzyzaniak also helped lead Manitoba to a silver medal — its best-ever finish — at the Canadian under-18 women's hockey championship in November in Dawson Creek, B.C., where Krzyzaniak was named the most valuable player. She has five goals and 14 points in 20 games for the Pursuit of Excellence Hockey Academy in Kelowna, B.C.
The 22-year-old Brandonite made Canada's senior women's sevens rugby team, competing in the North American-Caribbean championship in the summer and the prestigious Dubai Sevens Tournament in the United Arab Emirates in December where she helped lead Canada's development team to a 7-0 record. The 5-foot-6 winger, a graduate of the Vincent Massey and Brandon Barbarians rugby programs, was also named a CIS all-Canadian, helping lead St. FX University to the national title.
The 20-year-old Glenboro native wrapped up his most successful golf season by being named Golf Manitoba's amateur player of the year in October. A member of the University of Manitoba Bisons golf team, Wytinck became the first golfer from Westman to win the Manitoba Men's Amateur title in July. Wytinck served as captain of the Bisons golf team and led them to five top-five finishes in university events this season.

- vodka
- "Sometimes when I reflect back on all
the vodka I drink I feel ashamed.
Then I look into the glass and think
about the workers in the vodka factory
and all of their hopes and dreams.
If I didn't drink this vodka,
they might be out of work
and their dreams would be shattered.
Then I say to myself,
It is better that I drink this vodka
and let their dreams come true
than be selfish and worry about my liver"

This is the first in a series of posts that will be reflections on my recent experience as an Adult Education graduate student. The pace of formal education is often such that you race past some interesting points in the need to keep up with the course work, yet rarely return to reflect more carefully on those points. One of the key points for me, a foundational point, is… what is the *purpose* of adult education? Why do people engage in adult education — why do students seek out learning, why do teachers continue to teach, and why do researchers remain interested in studying it? Why does it matter at all?
Let's start with the basics. There are three important purposes for adult education:
1. For career or vocational purposes — to engage in training that will result in employment. This can involve adult basic education, apprenticeships, technical colleges, or universities. This also includes on the job training and other kinds of workplace learning.
2. For personal development purposes — to satisfy an interest or solve a personal problem. This can include pottery classes, music lessons, studying French literature, or pursuing conflict resolution training. These are often offered by community centres or private schools, as well as in Arts and Humanities programs at universities and colleges.
3. For community development purposes — to solve a collective problem, such as stopping toxic effluent from a nearby factory or investigating solutions to local unemployment. These are typically informal learning sessions that take place in living rooms, church basements, union halls, and other meeting spaces across the country.
There are a couple of things that are important to note in this list. First, 1 and 2 are seeking individually-focused changes, and 2 is concerned with community-focused changes. That doesn't mean that there isn't social learning involved with 1 and 2 (learning almost always happens through interactions with others), but that the outcomes are individually determined — I want to get a degree in library studies so that I can get a job as a librarian. Compared to — We want to get the speed limit reduced on our street to make our kids safer.
Second, these three purposes aren't mutually exclusive. I might get involved in a participatory action research project as part of my planning degree (vocational) and to also work on solving a local community issue (community development). I might have a passion for gardening (personal) so pursue horticulture (vocational).
In addition to these three, there is a further way to look at the purpose of adult education. There is adult education that seeks to sustain existing social relations and adult education that seeks to change those relations (critical pedagogy). Studying for a medical degree is typically associated with helping the sick and providing a comfortable lifestyle as a doctor — not upsetting or challenging the social, political, and economic system. Similarly, learning to play the guitar at night school rarely has these transformative aims (although sometimes they do). Even community development education is often more concerned with neighbourhoods participating more effectively within the system (e.g., attracting new employment opportunities) rather than trying to develop alternative forms of economic activity. Some important examples of this kind of community education would be the formation of labour unions, farmers unions, cooperatives, and credit unions as a radical democratic response to the inequities and exploitation of capitalism.
In Canada, one of the most well-known examples of this kind of adult education would be the Antigonish Movement and the work of Moses Coady and others.
Somewhat more recently, the work of Paulo Freire has been incredibly important for the impact it had in empowering local communities as well as on the philosophy of adult education (e.g., popular education, banking education, etc.).
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, government funding was available for community education projects that pushed the boundaries of what kind of social change was possible, and helped support the massive "new social movements" (gender, GLBT, ethnicity, abilities, children, etc.) that significantly expanded the scope of Canadian democracy by demanding social justice and rights that had previously been withheld.
So, why does understanding these purposes of adult education matter? I'm concerned that the past thirty years of neoliberalism is erasing the memory of adult education for social change and enriching democracy, that we have become preoccupied with individual solutions to what are, in fact, often collective problems. Facing high unemployment in your community? Go to school and out-compete your neighbour, or, go to Alberta and get rich in the oil patch. Government funding is today almost exclusively focused on academic or vocational education. I don't fault any individual for pursuing this individualist path out of under/unemployment (post-secondary education has paid off pretty well for me), but I am concerned about what gets left behind — the people, the culture, the history, the environment — in this approach.
There are other, more social ways to confront problems of community development, such as the Appreciative Inquiry model that involves collectively "discovering" a community's strengths and assets (as well as sources of inequality, exploitation, and injustice), "dreaming" what might be possible (including radical democratic dreams), "designing" what could work, and "deploying" a community-based solution, that might, sometimes, fall outside of the mainstream (or sometimes might not). The point is to remember that a radical democratic adult education, as was done in the past, can be done again today. And its is still being done, on a smaller scale, often under the radar, and almost always in the absence of government funding. The challenge is — how to build and sustain this? More soon.

DALLAS (AP) Larry Brown's reinforcements are reshaping SMU even though the Mustangs returned all five starters.
An important newcomer is familiar to the 73-year-old Brown's head coach in waiting.
Transfer guard Nic Moore had 13 points and eight rebounds in his SMU debut, and the Mustangs beat TCU 69-61 in the season opener for both teams Friday night.
Moore played one season for Illinois State before transferring last year when his coach, Tim Jankovich, came with Larry Brown as an assistant with the idea that he would one day take over the program.
'A lot of things I thought he did great,' Brown said. 'He had seven defensive boards the first half. He made some hustle plays, shows a lot of poise. He's playing faster than anybody else on our team.'
After sitting out last season, Moore, a sophomore, was 4 of 11 from the field, including 3 of 8 from 3-point range, and had four assists in his return.
'You're sitting out all those games, watching them fight without me,' said Moore, who played a game-high 36 minutes. 'It made me feel great now that I can contribute to that.'
Brandon Parrish scored 13 to lead TCU, which was down 9-0 and 18-6 before taking a lead early in the second half.
Brown and TCU coach Trent Johnson started their second seasons at the rival schools from Dallas and Fort Worth. They were playing the middle game of a season-opening tripleheader at the downtown Dallas home of the NBA's Mavericks.
'We got off to a horrendous start,' Johnson said. 'I like the way we responded.'
Moore and center Yanick Moreira, another transfer, were newcomers to the SMU lineup off last year's 15-17 team. Moreira, a native of Angola who played for a junior college in Texas, matched Moore with eight rebounds.
Keith Frazier, a freshman from Dallas making his collegiate debut and one of seven playing his first game for SMU, scored 11 on 3-of-5 shooting from 3-point range.
The Mustangs took the lead for good on a 14-2 run that started with a layup by Crandall Head and ended with a 3-pointer by Frazier, putting SMU up 50-43 with 11:18 to go.
The basket for Head was the only one in four minutes for the transfer from Illinois. Markus Kennedy, who came in from Villanova, had four points and four rebounds. Head and Kennedy also had to sit out last season as transfers.
The Horned Frogs were within 60-57 with less than 4 minutes left but committed three turnovers as the Mustangs pushed the lead out to eight on two free throws from Moreira and three from Ryan Manuel, one of last year's starters who finished with 12 points.
'We had a lot of opportunities late,' Johnson said. 'We had some ill-advised turnovers. I thought we took some ill-advised shots.'
Six TCU players scored during a 13-0 run on either side of halftime that turned a 30-23 deficit into a 36-30 lead for the Horned Frogs.
Parrish started the run with a layup and opened the second half with a 3-pointer that gave TCU its first lead at 32-30. The Horned Frogs, who shot 35 percent for the game, made five of six during the spurt.
Moore ended the TCU run with a 3-pointer for SMU's first field goal in five minutes.
Kyan Anderson had nine points and eight assists for the Horned Frogs, and Jarvis Ray also scored nine. Karviar Shepherd had eight points and eight rebounds.

Red Bull reportedly threaten to run in their own private test after testgate ruling
Are World Champs considering withdrawing from Young Driver Test?
By Pete Gill. Last Updated: 24/06/13 1:30pm
Red Bull boss Christian Horner attended the Tribunal in person

Red Bull are reportedly threatening to run their own private three-day test in a direct challenge to the authority of the FIA after Mercedes 'escaped' with a reprimand for their role in the 'testgate' saga.
According to The Times newspaper, Red Bull - and possibly Ferrari - are considering 'boycotting the young drivers' test to set up their private session in a mirror of the Mercedes case' in an act which would amount to open rebellion against the governing body amid widespread incredulity about the leniency of the punishment meted out against Mercedes on Friday by the International Tribunal.
Both Red Bull and Ferrari - who triggered the investigation after launching a protest against Mercedes when news of the test became public in Monaco - are reported to have 'set out their grievances to Bernie Ecclestone' after Friday's verdict was announced and informed F1's ringmaster 'they would take the risk of a reprimand - the punishment meted out to Mercedes - for the benefit of three days of testing.'
Although The Times suggests that 'Ferrari would pull back from any threat to stage a private test', the Scuderia are said to be 'seething' about the verdict handed down by the Tribunal.
In a post on the team's official website, Ferrari's anonymous infamous 'Horse Whisperer' blogger openly ridiculed the ruling, arguing: "Today we learned, that even if one is guilty and in this case that is an indisputable and verified fact, there is always a way of muddling through as best one can.
"One only has to suggest to the judge what the penalty should be and even better, why not make it something light like a rap across the knuckles.
"It is somewhat perplexing to say the least to see that the guilty party can get away virtually scot free for having derived "an unfair sporting advantage."
Red Bull are yet to publicly speak about the Tribunal's ruling.

Goffstown library incident leads police to 'shelter' school
GOFFSTOWN - A heavy police presence at the Goffstown Public Library on Friday afternoon sent the nearby Maple Avenue Elementary School into "a modified shelter in place."
Police were called to the library at approximately 2 p.m. on Friday after someone who appeared to be a vagrant walked into the library, prompting concern among library employees.
Employees called police and then quickly evacuated the building.
When police responded, the individual was questioned but no charges were brought and no arrest was made, according to Police Chief Patrick Sullivan.
The chief said the Maple Avenue Elementary School went into "modified shelter in place," which means students and teachers stay in their classrooms until they get the all-clear, which they received about 30 minutes later.
"It was just some homeless guy," said Sullivan. "He was just looking for some clothes, that's all."

I can only help myself
- My ex blamed me for everything. He used that to abuse me when I had only got better at not caretaking for him. I had to finally realize he is poison to me. If he never gets help, I can't do a thing about it. A person has to at least see they are sick first. I have to move on. That's living in the answer, as painful as it is.
- —Guest valerie
I also live with my husband who drinks
- It's been 8 days now with no booze for him once again he failed and 8 days fell down back to 1 again. Ive lived with this all my life. I always meet men who drink. I don't no what to do. I left many times, now back again living again with the same problems. I hate it.
- —Guest Gail
Walking Away
- After 10 months of dating, I recently decided to leave my alcoholic boyfriend. As much as I love him, he has to be the one to decide to seek treatment. I can't "love him" out of it; he has to want it and follow the path of treatment to recovery himself. The hard part for me is the not knowing is sometimes just as painful as knowing what he's doing. I wonder if he's still drinking, if he's gotten thrown in jail, if he's even still alive. I feel anger, worry, anxiety, depression. But most of all right now I just feel sadness. Sad for him and sad for myself as well. But I believe this is the right decision. Everyone else in his life enables his behavior and doesn't see how that contributes to his decline.
- —Guest Ex-Girlfriend
Drinking husband
- I feel for you. I always let husband get the best me letting him get away a lot of BS. He has his second DWI no longer have a vehicle. Oh well, what can I do? Been there done it. He will go to court either jail/or treatment. I can't wait. Looking forward to him not being here. I pray in his absence I will do what I need to get well. I feel bad or began to understand why I'm not in love him. You heard this before but he is great husband/father when sober. I have lost many years because I allowed him to continue his drinking/behavior. I want to be happy and really enjoy been alone. I'm not there yet but with His help I will continue my recovery going to Al-non/counseling. My hurt and marriage will pass. Lessons are a part of living.
- —Guest lifeisgood
Enabler and martyr
- I grew up with an alcoholic mother. and then married an alcoholic. Why did I make the same mistake as my father. I was always taught to enable. I don't know how long I can stay on the vicious roller coaster.
- —Guest Daughter/wife
- My first husband was addicted to meth and this time the culprit is alcohol. I am not trying to fix my husband. It did not work with the first. I am an addictions counselor, but also human. The best thing we can do for the addicts we love is to stay focused on our goals and realize this is their battle. Let these words comfort you instead of hurt. We can't fight it for them. I have read that some of the people posting think they help addicts by helping pay fines, fees, and other various acts. The best thing we can do for the addicts in our lives is back off and help them when they are ready. The cornerstone to recovery is a solid support system. There is a fine line between support and enabling. Cornerstones maintain the stability of a structure. To be one you have to stay strong and stay focused on yourself. Focus on your hopes and don't lose yourself while trying to hold someone else together. How can you fix something that is broken if you are broken too?
- —Graves77
How long does it take?
- I know for sure I am playing a role, I am too afraid of him not to. So I just do what he wants and hope that he falls asleep, so I can have a moment to myself. This alcoholic needs constant attention and can become violent at a moment's notice. I am violating every written and unwritten rule by reaching out and telling someone. I am so tired of being screamed at for nothing, I too want to escape. Am I using this person as an excuse, we have no marriage, no sex life because of alcohol and quite frankly who wants to have sex with a drunk angry person. Not me, no thanks, so instead I just keep going to work and praying for a miracle. From what I have read from the other bloggers on the site, there are no miracles. So how long does it take until you, I, we have had enough?
- —Guest FRANKIE2
Oh Yes
- Just tonight I picked him up from a bar. If he were to drive he would have for sure killed someone and himself.
- —Guest FRANKIE
- My husband is a sometimes recovering alcoholic that has switched to pot as his poison. I have seen him unemployed, drain our bank account, treat people badly and emotionally abuse and manipulate me. One day I came home and found that he had posted an ad on Craig's list soliciting other men for sex! I wasn't even upset about this latest malfunction. I quietly packed his bags and asked him to come home. He showed up. I confronted him and he left. For the longest time, I convinced myself that I made a vow, in good times and bad, until death due us part. I have come to realize that this is not what God meant. He has had sobriety but is still a louse. I am supposed to be grateful that he is sober. Sobriety is not good enough! I want to flourish and I don't want my son to inherit this devastating legacy. I have attended Al-Anon before but hated it. Why the hell am I supposed to ignore his problems . . . they affect me too! I hate that people say I played a role in this . . . BULL!
- —Guest Susan
Martyr no more!
- I was with my husband for 11 years and played a great martyr. I even taught him how to hide his alcohol from the kids. After I was face to face with his 22 year old mistress, he is 44. I finally kicked him out. I kept saying how could this happen to me. I am starting to understand how the alcoholism affects the whole family and why I was depressed and "moody" and he came off looking like a saint. I let myself be the scapegoat with his family and now this has caused a huge rift and my small children and my step daughter are caught in the middle. All I can say is the more I learn, the more I understand. The more I reach out to others, the more I know I am not alone. I will stop the cycle with my children, I am happy and there is life after the abuse from a manipulative, emotionally abusive alcoholic. I wish very one the best of luck in their recovery, you are not alone.
- —Guest It's getting better
Son in law
- My son in law comes from a family of beer drinkers and in the last five years I have noticed that my daughter has emotional swings - quiet and patient with the children one moment and the next yelling. I don't think she realizes the effect of his drinking is having on the whole family. I worry about him driving with the children in the car. A couple of years ago my son went to a out of state location for work with him and the son in law was drinking and driving. My son who is a big boy could not stop him drinking or give up the wheel for my son to drive. The son in law has been stopped and arrested for DUI was able to fight it in court, but doesn't seem to remember how scared he was at the possibility of losing his job. I want to find a way to help, but I have no idea. And my daughter is preparing to be ready with the next time he explodes. How can I help her? My family does not really drink much so this is really new to me. I worry the most for my grandchildren, but I don't know what to do.
- —Nana062
Same Story
- I sitting here reading everyone's comments and didn't realize I'm not alone. I'll be married 19 yrs next month, and my husband is an alcoholic. We have two children, 17 and 12. I don't have to hide anything from them, they see what's the issue and hate him for what he has done to our family. However today I had a fight with my husband about the drinking and our 17 daughter sided with her dad and said she didn't blame him being with someone like me. You can't imagine the hurt I felt. I've spent years protecting my children from the constant fights and abuse. I don't know what I'm going to do. My husband knows he has a problem but according to him, it's all my fault - the nagging, accusations, etc. Is it my fault? I have not gone to therapy and know that I need to talk to someone. I can't continue to live like this. I feel that no one understands what I have to deal with. My last option is rehab for my husband - I hope he will make the right choice and fight for our family.
- —Notsure_why
10 years later and still fighting
- I've been with my boyfriend for 10 years and he doesn't drink all the time. He is fine to drink beer but occasionally gets into a bottle of scotch or cognac and once he does he can't stop. He becomes rude, condescending and an extreme disappointment. He embarrasses me in front of family and friends and ruins social gatherings. Just last night I had to leave my best friend's wedding. He didn't even make it through dinner before I had to take him home. We've had countless discussions and fights over the years. He fights me and then promises me he'll try and control his drinking. I come from a family of alcoholics and I don't want to live my adult life this way. I feel so let down, unimportant and disappointed. I love the man when he is when sober. But hate who he is when he's been drinking. I don't know what to do anymore. Any advice would be so welcome!
- —Guest Out of Ideas
Ignoring the Bad Behavior?
- How do you just ignore the alcoholic's behavior when you are financially dependent on them keeping their job? Without his job we will lose the house. I've tried everything to make him stop, but he won't now he is at the point of drinking all day even at work and now work is complaining about him. What do I do? Just let the house go into foreclosure? That doesn't seem right. Any advice would be appreciated.
- —Guest lou
What do I do?
- My husband of 26 years has become an alcoholic in the last 5 years. He has been to rehab but has become worse thereafter. He almost died twice already with bleeding esophageal varices and has started bleeding again but refuses to go to the doctor. He hides drink at home and always twists the situation around to make himself the victim when I confront him. He has left home for the past 3 days and I feel guilty saying this, it is so peaceful but he has taken the family business phone and my daughter's car. I am not really worried about him but the fact that he has the phone we will not be able to get calls for our business which is electrical contracting in which all 3 of my children work. He will return like nothing happened and I normally perform, but please someone give me advise on how I can detach myself so that I just get on with my life and ignore him. I cannot do this and work myself up until I am screaming and swearing and performing.

"Lots to do. Pleasant place. Good base." Abbeville by benmaxwell
Abbeville Travel Guide: 21 reviews and 37 photos
Abbeville was knocked flat in the second world warbecause it was a centre for the French resistance. It is mostly architecturally unexciting, having been rebuilt as a grand project in the 40-50s. But the St Vulfran collegiate church and St Sulpice survived. St Sulpice has a reallly lovely set of modern glass windows by Mannessier. The former has a beautiful facade, which is just being cleaned. The interior which was never finished is pleasant but undramatic.
L'Escalier de Picardie and the Auberge Picarde are particularly recommended by the Michelin guide for good value meals.
The Chateau de Bagatelle is lovely. A pleasant garden and small chateau. The battlefields of the Somme and the lovely woods near the battlefield of Crecy are nearby. The huge sandy beaches with dramatic tides are nearby, as well as pleasant coastal resorts such as St Valery (20 mins in the car). The gardens at the Abbey at Valloires are about 20 minutes away too.
- Pros:Nicest chateau stay ever. Lots to do. Pleasant place. Good base. Great restaurants.
- Cons:Mostly unattractive architecture. Surroundings a bit flat, treeless and empty.
- In a nutshell:Go. You won't regret it.

Wild Gingers are among the great foliage plants for shade. Their shapely leaves come in a variety of rich greens. Some are shiny, others have exquisite texture, and a few carry striking silvery patterns. All Wild Gingers love rich, slightly acid, organic soil with plenty of moisture, under which conditions most will spread to form distinctive ground covers of varying density. The curious, bell-shaped flowers are insignificant.

Striking piece
Kyle from Lake Bluff, IL – Verified Buyer
I got the bookcase in the black finish. The shapes of the shelves in that finish make this a visually striking piece. The bookcase is large enough to feel substantial in the room. I positioned it vertically, but I may get a second one to put next to the first one horizontally underneath an adjacent window for an almost built-in look. The shelves make it easy to set stacks of books alongside decorative items and not look cluttered. I was pleased that I was able to fit 2 smaller bookshelves' worth of books, plus several framed photos and some souvenirs from travels, all without having to cram the space.
Modern decorative shelf perfect as a room divider
Sayre from Princeton, NJ – Verified Buyer
I have been looking for a room divider for our large master bedroom for a while. This shelf really seems to fit the bill in terms of design and size, comments from other reviewers also helped me to take the plunge. I bought two white ones, which were assembled by a 16-year old teenager correctly, so it cannot be too hard. I love the end results of the shelves separating the sleeping quarter from the lounge quarter, and the unique layout of the shelves added style and charm to the room, particularly after I placed trailing plants, colorful vacation photo books and beautiful pots in or above. The shelves are made with good quality, however it is a little bit wobbly on the carpeted floor. The price is also good, my only gripe is the lousy white stickers used to cover the screw holes which is not a very intelligent idea, worse yet some stickers do not stick very well and constantly peel off at the edge.
Good product for the price
carolyn from palm desert, CA – Verified Buyer
After ordering this item from another company who is notorious for shipping charges and damaged materials (and actually sent the wrong color), was excited to see this on wayfair. The price was slightly more, but worth it. Because, they delivered it free in just a few days. My husband spent probably 2 hours to put together. The do not have good covers to cover the "counter-sunk" screws", but just stickers (which do have a "wood grain" print on them so you can line them up. This product is white, but does have a slight faux wood grain on it. There are no extras in case you wreck one or it falls off. I would prefer secure fitting flat mounted inserts to cover the screws. It's MDF. pretty stable. I will put decorate stuff in it, but will use "museum paste" to ensure nothing gets knocked over. We have it as a faux-MCM room divider and it is horizontal. When we get tired of it as a room divider, we'll flip it up vertically and use as bookcase or whatever. Pros: Arrived quickly, fair price, free shipping, undamaged, white (not off white).. We have it in place, looks nice. Cons: MDF; stickers for "counter-sunk" screws (and no extras), length of time to assemble, has "faux wood grain" finish on MDF and stickers. If your floor is not level (like our saltillo tiles), you will have to put some kind of platform and/or mount wall.
Just what I expected
Marcy from Allen, TX – Verified Buyer
I ordered two of these and had a little fear about assembling them by myself. I am a female nearing retirement age. The instructions were excellent. The hardware was organized. The first one took about an hour and the second one about 40 minutes. They are mostly MDF but very solid. I'll admit that there are a lot of screws to drive in but the construction is very solid. The stickers to cover the holes are a little strange, just like other people said, but they do the job and are not too noticeable. I am using the cases in the horizontal mode and could easily assemble and stand them up by myself. I do recommend constructing them as close to the place you will use them as possible and doing it on carpet. Pros: Unique cases and very solid Cons: Lots of assembly but good instructions
Excellent Book case!
Christine from Valencia, CA – Verified Buyer
This bookcase is perfect and just what I needed for my living room. I have it vertical in my room. I am not sure why the picture would suggest it be used horizontal. This is great to display my treasures from all my travels. It is so pleasing to have the variety of shelves and heights rather than a standard bookcase. I have received many compliments. Also, it was very easy to put together. The instructions were simple and easy to follow. Just be sure to lay out the pieces first and go step-by-step. Simple for one person to put together in less than an hour. Amazing value for the price.
Real looker, solid construction!
Brian from Milton, WV – Verified Buyer
Bought two of these to sit horizontal, one on each side of the tv stand in a bonus room with low ceilings. Assembly was simple, all of the parts fit together perfectly. The varying sizes of openings create a modern, unique way to display books, photo frames, and other knick-knacks! I like the vinyl stickers supplied to hide the assembly holes as they have grain that can be aligned with the grain patterns of the wood and go on flush. This is better than the typical plastic inserts some of these kits are supplied with.
A really unique book case
Matthew from Bismarck, ND
This is a neat book case - especially for the price. I've always liked the tetris-looking cases, but most cost thousands. Now, this is of course not a hardwood case, like those. But it looks nice. Be ready to spend some addition time in assembly than a normal book case. It's also best to have a second person as sometimes you have to hold a piece and attach another with all the right angles. Also be aware that with all the funky corners, you won't be able to place nearly the same number of books as you would on a strait book case. Even so, it's one of my favorite pieces I found this past year.
My new favorite piece of furniture
BH from Nebraska – Verified Buyer
I bought the white unit to match the molding in my living room. The shelves are one inch thick and completely finished on all visible edges, with a pattern that looks like natural wood-grain that has been painted. My son put it together and said, "Holy over-engineering!" which translates to, "Each shelf is constructed to be load-bearing." Check the specs for weight limits, but I loaded it up with all my photo albums and it looks amazing!
Love Them!
Stephanie from Orting, WA
Wanted to fill up 2 niches beside the fireplace. Got the white bookcases and love the way they look! We didn't trust outselves to set them up so we had our handyman do it. Didn't take him too long and he said it was fun. He did reverse 2 of the shelves so be aware of that. There is a different top and bottom to the shelves. The compartments are a good size to allow for pottery, baskets and all sorts of goodies. I don't plan on using them for books.
Perfect bookcase
Jeri from Edwardsville, IL – Verified Buyer
I bought this as a horizontal bookcase to hold a few books, some larger collectibles, etc. It is the perfect height and size and best of all, was easy for me to assemble....and I am a lady who qualifies for social security! I have had so many compliments on it! It arrived well boxed with lots of protective wrapping to keep any parts from being damaged.
