5 coaches of grain-laden train ran off track near Beach Station
Suburban and city commuters were hit by delays and truncated services through the day after a goods train derailed soon after it passed over a railway overbridge near Beach Station. Five of the 41 wagons of the train that was on its way from Kakinada to Tiruchi ran off the track at about 11.30 a.m., putting one line out of service for the rest of the day.
And, as efforts to remove the foodgrain-laden freight wagons appeared like continuing well into the night, train services along the busy commuter hubs of Beach, Fort and Park stations took a hit.
Many services in the Tambaram-Beach section, or the south suburban line, were terminated ahead of their end-destination at Park station near Chennai Central. Several services also had departures from the Park Station instead of the Beach terminal, which is an operations hub for the south suburban line and MRTS lines.
Railway officials, however, said the disruption was partial and confined to a few EMU services in the Tambaram-Beach section. The MRTS operations were not affected, but there might have been some delays as some services in the south suburban line were rejigged because of the derailment, a Southern Railway official said.
Meanwhile, with the advent of rush hour, scenes of disarray unfolded along several stations in the Tambaram-Beach section. At many places, six and seven trains had begun to line up on the same track shortly after 5 p.m., commuters said.
"2 trains on one track... Chaos at Chetpet. Several trains lined one behind the other..," Sangeetha Rajesh, who was at the station, wrote on her Facebook page. "Four cars of our train were off the platform and I had to jump to get to the ground," said Gh. Srinivas, a media professional on his way to the city from Chrompet. "Several others, including women and children, had to sit out the situation and wait for the train to move again," he said.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 3 nights
This flat is brand-new in a gated luxury development in Bow, E3, just three min from a DLR station and five min from a tube - zone two so quite central. It is in the top floor with reliable mirrored lift and has a beautiful open-plan living area with leather sofa and matching double sofa bed, a glass dining table and chairs for six and the most gorgeous kitchen I have ever seen in a holiday let. Really deep Corian worktops, top-of-the-range AEG appliances including a dishwasher and washer-dryer, masses of cupboard space and swanky extra touches like recycling bins and the coolest sockets you will ever see!
I am sending this to Elizabeth to post for me as I have been unable to fathom out the review system on HomeAway and Elizabeth told me that so many other people have told her this. Ridiculous! Anyway we had a top-notch stay in this charming flat. Spotlessly clean, warmly welcoming with tea and cake and the radio playing and decorated with real care and attention. Very well-located for the tube, Docklands Railway (no time at all to Stratford for fantastic Westfield Centre - literally go on train and sat down and got up again!) and we took the bus down to Spitalfields Market which has Brick Lane (trendiest bit of London) and also Petticoat Lane AND Columbia Road (the coolest Sunday morning flower market ever - real London) right by it. The flat is handy for the supermarkets and some pubs and cafes used by locals too but we spent most of the time in the E1 and West End. Covent Garden was easy and fast to reach by tube and we loved it there too although it is more touristy than Spitalfields.
We could not fault the flat although the hot water to the shower in the family bathroom seemed overly complex but this is not the fault of the flat or the owners who have provided a photographic explanation with the notes and guide books etc. There are also films and books and games. Really, everything has already been thought-of for you. Genuinely caring manager in Elizabeth. And the best bit probably (except her) is that we were quoted an all-inclusive price which did include everything unlike the prices from all the other owners and managers we contacted initially.
Everything including a driver to collect us and take us to the flat!! was included so we could budget and stick to it! I am sorry I could not leave this review online but it is a genuine review from genuinely grateful guests. We hope to return and send our best regards from Napier in the meantime. Etta Lomax and kids.
Excellent flat close to transport, Anna very helpful and nothing was to much trouble for Mike. Would definitely recommend this flst to anyone, going to book here next time we are in london.
Excellent location in London. Close by to the tube station and DLR which makes it very convenient for tourists such as myself. Downtown is approx. 15 - 20mins away! I must commend how Mike (Guest Manager) had all the information we required regarding the appartment and surrounding area. I plan to return to London in September and will definitely plan to stay here!!
We were staying 1 week in this lovely place.
It has good location, close to the tube and the DLR. Very clean, fast internet, fully equipped, excellent customer service. Pictures in description are real.
Will comeback again.
Thanks to Elizabeth and Mike for making our stay comfortable!
Great flat, close to the underground station. Comfortable beds, good shower, excellent kitchen with all we needed! Everything worked perfectly. Elizabeth and Mike were always helpful. I strongly reccomend it for everyone who's looking for a pleasant stay in London!
My husband and I stayed here for a week with another couple. The flat is exactly as promised, and had everything we needed. The second bedroom is as small as it looks but is manageable. There was lots of information about London in the flat, loved 2 of the recommended Indian restaurants in the area. The Oyster cards came in very handy and the tube and DLR were very close. We used the meet and greet service which was well worth it after a 9 hour flight. Mike and Elizabeth were both great, answered my many questions promptly and also arranged a car service for our departure as well. I would not hesitate to recommend flat to a friend or stay again if I am fortunate enough to return to London.
The apartment was even better than described. The "Meet and Greet" service was very helpful (although a longer drive than a tube ride). The twin bedded room as you can see in the pictures is very tight, probably only appropriate for children. It does not have a closet. Everything in the apartment worked well. The fit and finish of the apartment was excellent. The co-op grocery store at Bow Road and Bow Church Station was just a few blocks from the apartment and had basic items (milk, bread, wine!). The quality of the bedding and towels was very good. There was a 1/2 liter of milk in the refrigerator, cookies on the counter and tea in the canister. Thanks for a great stay.
Bow is a characterful area in the East End of London which has seen radical changes in the last few years. Now classed as part of 'Docklands' and, more recently, the Gateway to the Olympics, this is your opportunity to stay in the real London but still less than half-an-hour on the tube (station less than five minutes walk away and the DLR is even nearer) to the centre of the West End. The flat is in a brand-new gated development of luxury flats on the edge of the beautiful Bow Conservation area. They have spotless, spacious communal areas and fast mirrored lifts along with a lovely raised communal garden and this flat even has allocated parking. It is on the top floor with only two other flats (all owned by us) so is perfect for large groups or families travelling together. Views are over London and the Olympic stadium from the large windows with Juliet balcony in the main room.
Bow is a very historical part of the East End of London with traditional pubs including the famous Bow Bells just around the corner. There are also green spaces including the gothic Tower Hamlets Cemetery - sounds spooky but it's a gorgeous unspoilt wilderness and also very famous, being one of the original Victorian 'Magnificent Seven' cemeteries. These days Bow is better known for being very close to Stratford - just one stop taking four minutes! - so has incredibly easy access to the brand new Westfield Shopping Centre and, of course, the Olympics stadium! In the other direction and also very easily accessible by either DLR or the tube is the rest of London. You can be anywhere in the City or West End within half an hour and a few minutes more to Harrods and 'Museum Mile'. Virtually everywhere is either a direct journey or has one change.
Particularly close is the very trendy (and also historically important) area that includes the wonderful markets Brick Lane, Spitalfields, Petticoat Lane and Columbia Road. As well as these world-famous street markets there are the 'Indian' restaurants of Brick Lane, the wonderfully-preserved Huguenot houses of Spitalfields and, of course, the spectacular Hawksmoor masterpiece Christ Church.

Vermont gubernatorial candidate Deb Markowitz spoke to an interested gathering of potential supporters in Weybridge this week and sounded a familiar message on the economy among Democrats.
"I'm going to be the state's chief marketer, if elected," the long-time Secretary of State told the crowd, noting that for the past eight years Gov. James Douglas and the Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Dubie, as lieutenant governor, have been bad-mouthing the state's business climate while doing very little to enact policies or practices that would spur such growth.

In a story in today's paper, Monkton resident Velissa Harris reminds all Americans that unemployment benefits are for those people who have lost their jobs and are struggling to make ends meet as they search for another job. And in this era of the Great Recession — which started the year before George W. Bush left office (2007) — most Americans are sympathetic to how difficult it has been to find work and are grateful the country has a national unemployment insurance fund.
New Haven's planning commission is asking good questions and hedging bets on an uncertain energy future by asking the developers of a proposed 40-acre, 178-panel solar installation — which would be one of the state's largest — to provide guarantees of its good intentions.
Last Thursday, Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, dropped a bomb of a comment that we're sure he wishes he could take back. What he said wasn't a major event; rather, it was a single comment during a day-long hearing as the House grilled BP oil chief Tony Haywood over his role in the environmental disaster. His comments were among dozens — most of which took the side of those Americans whose lives had been upended by the obscene about of oil gushing from the bottom of the Gulf each day.
MIDDLEBURY — At its annual meeting Thursday night, the Better Middlebury Partnership honored Middlebury College President Ron Liebowitz as Citizen of the Year and J.P. Carrara & Sons, Inc. as Business of the Year for their significant roles in building the Cross Street Bridge — a town goal that has been 50 years in the making.
In the race for governor, Democratic candidate Matt Dunne stands alone in the crowd for one clear reason: He is outside the political beltway — the other four Democrats and Republican Brian Dubie are entrenched in state politics and have been for a long time. The question is whether that's a help or hindrance, and many analysts, as well as Dunne himself, see it as a major plus.
News this week that Exxon-Mobil not only paid no U.S. taxes last year, but also a received $156 million tax refund from the federal government, won't go over well with the average American taxpayer.
That Addison County might be the location of one of the state's largest solar farms is exciting news in as much as it is another example of "green energy" being built for a future that is not so directly tied to fossil fuels. It is exciting, too, because when new technologies for such basic commodities as energy are used locally, that often sparks a corresponding interest in jobs related to that field — among students of solar energy, as well as niche businesses that might one-day feed into the solar energy industry.
As five Democrats, an independent and a Republican compete in the race to become Vermont's next governor, the focus is all about job growth, who can do it better and what their particular qualifications are to get the job done.
At a recent candidates' forum in South Burlington addressing the Vermont Business and Industry Expo, Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie, R, told the group: "I know that we need to have a state that welcomes new businesses and fights tooth and nail for the companies that we have in the state."
The year was 1971. It was late May and in Kansas, in those years, we graduated before the summer's heat was too unbearable in classrooms without air conditioning.
Graduation was that Saturday, and the night before I had been to one of those post '60s senior parties. I woke up a bit late that next morning (some things don't change), threw on my cap and gown, jumped on my brother's Yamaha 175cc dirt bike, and shot off to the graduation ceremonies just in time to make the entry with classmates — with just a slight bit of chain grease on the gown.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are never, ever, ever getting back together.
In an interview on Los Angeles radio station 104.3 MYFM, the Coldplay singer, 37, shut down rumors of a reconciliation.
"The thing we told everyone at the beginning of the year is true," Martin, who together with Paltrow, 41, announced their break-up on the GOOP founder's blog in March. "We are very close, we are not together."
PHOTOS: No Paltrow, No Problem: A-Listers Populate Vanity Fair Party
Indeed, the couple has been seemingly inseparable since their split: the actress and the singer cuddled over dinner at Malibu Farm in L.A. in June, and even vacationed with kids Apple, 10, and Moses, 8, in the Bahamas this spring.
"You know, there's a lot of love," Martin continued in the interview. "So there's nothing, there's no scandal I'm afraid. I wish I could give you scandal!"

EDUARDO Vega, a Fulbright specialist from San Francisco in the US, is in the country to discuss ways of improving mental health recovery.
Mr Vega's visit focuses on supporting Fiji's mental health division to adopt recovery-oriented services.
Recovery-oriented practices are being recognised as the best way to help people experiencing mental illness.
This mental recovery program emphasises on the encouragement and the empowerment of psychiatric survivors.
Co-ordinator of the Psychiatric Survivors Association Arishma Nandini said this recovery program focused less on curing signs of mental health distress and placed more emphasis on giving hope and respect to the lives of psychiatric survivors.
Mr Vega, being a psychiatric survivor himself, said most psychiatric patients faced stigma from the community, which discouraged them from openly expressing their uniqueness and ability in society.
He said recovering from mental distress depended on the individual's positive thinking and the support from community members in embracing what these survivors could bring to society.

Daniel Craig: People find it difficult not to see me as Bond now
Published on Oct 30, 2012 11:05 AM
Off-screen, James Bond actor Daniel Craig is careful to maintain Agent 007's gravitas, saying he can no longer get drunk or do anything else unseemly in public.
At a press event for the new Bond film, Skyfall, he even looks like he has raided the spy's closet, arriving at New York's Crosby Street hotel wearing fitted black trousers and a crisp white shirt, a dark tie tucked stylishly under a grey pullover.
But the Englishman may feel a bit ambivalent about how closely he associated with the character. When Life! asks if he is worried the role might overshadow the rest of his career, he says: "Yeah, but I mean, it's what you make of it."
"It's working out for me at the moment so I'll keep at it and there'll be other stuff to do," adds the star of Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum Of Solace (2008), who has reportedly signed on to do two more instalments after his third Bond film, Skyfall, which opens here on Thursday.

Lawyer wounded, 2 staffers killed in Zamboanga ambush
More News from Julie S. Alipala
More News from Inquirer Mindanao
ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines—Two persons were killed while a lawyer remains in critical condition following an ambush here early Saturday.
Senior Superintendent Edwin de Ocampo, city police director, identified those killed as the brothers Gerome and Manuel Lozada, both members of the staff of lawyer Homer Mabale.
Mabale himself was injured in the ambush near his home in Lopez Subdivision in Barangay Tugbungan here early Saturday.
"Mabale and the other victims were on their way home aboard (the lawyer's) car when fired upon by two men riding tandem" on a motorcycle said Senior Inspector Elmer Acuna, chief of Tetuan district police station, adding that the assailants used handguns.
He said the ambush took place some 200 meters away from Mabale's house.
The Lozada brothers suffered multiple gunshot wounds and were dead on arrival at the hospital, Acuna said.
"The lawyer suffered two gunshot wounds on his lower armpit and is undergoing medical treatment," he said.
De Ocampo said the police were still trying to determine the identity and the motive of the assailants.

Hire a professional!
- I'd hire a tax attorney who specializes in creative ways to afford life! Most respondents here are resigned to selling, but I'd do my best to hang on to that prize money, put off paying the IRS for as long as possible, and figure out how to keep the house. I've seen indicators here that the Stowe house taxes are $24,000. That's higher than my home in a Chicago suburb; kind of scary. Still, I love love love the Stowe house. I'd look at every angle before just giving back such a rare asset.
- —Guest Fantasy Dream Home Owner
Fantasy vs. Reality
- My FANTASY sees me enjoying the Stowe gem with my family & friends for as long as possible: cooking for everyone, making s'mores in the fireplace by the hot tub, watching movies in the family room after a day of skiing, enjoying morning coffee with my hubby on the deck . . . The REALITY--something I prefer to ignore--is vague since the total cost of the entire prize hasn't been detailed (e.g: monthly association fees? taxes on total prize? can house be rented; if so, for how much?). I suspect owning this home is out of my reach, but man is it ever fun to imagine entertaining in this gorgeous mountain nest! Until my name is drawn, I'll continue with the FANTASY of the prize, ignoring the REALITY entirely. I'm entirely thankful to HGTV for providing so many people the opportunity to dream so far beyond our own imaginings!
- —Guest Stowe Dreamer
- —Guest R ROGERS
I would sell...
- If I had the means to keep the house, believe me I would. Unfortunately it is too much, house for me and my husband to afford it. We both work in an export company of heavy machinery as shipping consultants, it does not provide much to afford that house. So I would sell it. Even after paying all the taxes you still have money leftover to buy a decent more affordable home for yourself. I pray to God that we get this wonderful opportunity.
- —Guest tillithy hoaping big
Think about it!
- Everyone is talking about the tax on the home right... what about the $500,000 and the GMC. You do have to pay tax on the house, the cash, and the vehicle. Whomever is to win... the logical thing to do is take the $650,000 instead of the house. So you'd end up with a little more than $700,000 and an Acadia Denali after you pay the tax. The house isn't worth the headache.

you know what

It's all good
- I would work and try to pay the taxes. Making about 100,000 a year one could probably do it. A good tax adviser/lawyer consult would be prudent.

Not enough cash for taxes
- According to this web site http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/advice/20020520b.asp $500,000 will not be enough to pay the fed tax on the house prize. Its worth over 2 million. Fed tax on 1 million would be aprox 359,000. I would take the cash and car and walk away with about 600,000 after fed and California tax. Buy modest house here free and clear.

How would I pay the taxes.
- I would use the money I make from my clothing company to pay them. In addition to that I will also coach swimming at the local school, ymca etc.
- —MikeSPNJ
- thats why if you win the house you also win $500,000. to pay the taxes on house and car.

I love the house...but...
- Have you all seen this blog... More details from a prior post: http://www.vermonttiger.com/content/...xing-gift.html "As a public service, Vermonttiger presents the numbers: 1. Vermont Purchase and Use Tax on a $50,000 vehicle at 6% = $3,000 2. Vermont Property Transfer Tax on a $1.5 million house at 1.25% = $18,750 3. Annual Property taxes on a $1.5 million house in Stowe = $24,350 4. U.S. Income Tax on $2.05 million (house + cash + car) at 2011 tax rates a. assume Bush tax cuts do not expire as per Obama compromise plan = $678,000 b. assume Bush tax cuts expire = $772,000 5. Vermont income taxes = $187,400 The lucky winner of the house will pay about $1 million in taxes in 2011 on their good fortune. With the $500,000 cash that is part of the winning package, the winner will only have to come up with an additional half million bucks. Maybe they can rent out some of those extra beds to help pay the taxes."

Take the cash prize
- As much as I love the house, I'd take the cash option. 1.2 million plus a car isn't a bad payout. After federal taxes, you should still 'bring home' about $750,000. Invest that at a modest interest rate and you've got a nice little nest egg.
- —Guest Steve
Give it to the children
- I would donate it to the make a wish foundation. I never get what I want or what I feel I need. I'm a hard worker and I know God is on my side. But, it is what it is. So if I can't be happy then I would love to make those little angels happy and feel like I finally did something great . Something I could be happy about.
- —Guest Faith
Just do it!
- i would definitly find a way to stay in the home. i am from LI NY i pay 9000 a year in taxes on 1100 square feet. i will sell my home and move to VT. if there is a will there is a way.

It could be your biggest nightmare
- The Dreamhome is a fantasy that only someone with means can enjoy. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO KEEP ONE. It is nice to think about using it for rental or B&B but the rules or area codes forbid such things. In some cases, you don't even own the property thanks to HGTV and SCRIPPS. Revers mortgage might be an option if you are 65 years old, maybe not. An attempt at keeping the dream will most likely include selling your present house. Then when you do finally lose the dream, you have no where to go. Many have asked why HGTV continues to build Dreams that cannot be afforded and HGTV continues to ignore the sad saga every year and builds another nightmare named DREAM HOME. The fact is, HGTV tells you you will live in splendor, calls it YOUR NEW HOME and talks of it as if you can keep the new home when reality screams that it is too expensive to keep, yet this year, another overprice dream is built. It would be so nice if HGTV would just build an affordable DREAM HOME for keepes

Her long blue skirt, accented with a deep blue ribbon sash, provides a peek at her translucent blue heels. A sheer white overcoat detailed with snowflake sparkles completes the elegant look.

My DD is 4.5 - she's been potty trained for well over a year, even at night. About a month ago, she started occassionally have damp undies - like she would pee a little before remembering to go. Then 2 weeksago, she went outside and squatted down and peed on the sidewalk in front of our house. Very intentional, though she kept saying it was an accident. After that, DH and I have been reminding and pushing her to go potty more often. Over the weekend when I was making the grocery list she told me I should buy diapers. It broke my heart! So DH and I decided we were being too hard on her and backed off. Yesterday, she peed sitting on the floor at circle time at school, and didn't even get up - she just sat there in it! Her attitude is completely dismissive (same way she asked me about the diapers, matter of fact, "mom, I need diapers because I have accidents"). I figure it is an anxiety response to being a big sister (I'm due in December) but I do not know how to respond! Anyone been there? Do I get angry with her? Do I ignore it? Do we try rewards for not having potty problems? I'm at a loss!!
Wetting her pants!
Comments (4)
I would start the reward system again with her. NON-chalantly from your end also. SOmething like this could hurt a child more if you get angry. She might be reacting, like you said, to the new baby to come! BUT, also, they are still young and she might be having a small control issue. But, maybe motivate her again through a treat or stickers to earn something for being a big girl.
I'm having the same problem. My almost 5 year old keeps peeing her pants. She also squats on the floor and says her bottom hurts. She has done that for 9 weeks. I've taken her to the doctor and there is nothing. I had a baby on July 6th so a new baby is in the house. I have concluded that she is being lazy and does not want to take the time to go. The reason her bottom hurts is because she is trying to hold the pee in. I've gotten upset, I tried the reward system and nothing seems to work. So now I've decided to make it my responibility to have her go potty every 30-45 minutes. She will throw a fit and say she doesn't have to go, but I make her sit on the potty and she goes a little. No accidents. If I forget because we're busy then she pees her pants. Try setting a timer and see if that works.
Good luck!

Its probably just an attention behavior, but just in case you might want her to get checked for an infection. they are very common in little girls and those are some of the symptoms. (they have issues peeing , wet a little, have the urge and just pee)

While the reward system really is a great idea, it didn't work at all for my son. The only thing that worked was actually a punishment system. He would get toys/privlidges taken from him everytime he peed anywhere other than the potty. He pushed us and tested us for about 10 days, then when most of his toys were gone and he wasn't able to watch any movies or watch is favorite cartoons or even play his game on our IPAD he figured it out. We are back to using the potty!

We reserved the room for £70 and when we got here, we were charged £100. Being tired from the journey, we decided not to argue and paid the fee, however when we got to our room we got a phone call from reception telling us they had over-charged us and to come down for a refund of £30. This was very much appreciated.
What had happened was because of a wedding party, our original standard double room had been taken because they over-booked so we got upgraded to an superior room which was lovely. We had a lounge with a tv and sofa, a four-poster bed and a bathroom with a corner jacuzzi bath/shower. The room was clean and tidy.
We also went to the restaurant and the food was lovely. £50 give or take for a glass of wine each and a main course each. The quality was so worth it, and it was very quiet and lovely.
The only downside was the wedding party - unfortunately for us, our room was placed above the events hall, so the music was very loud and we could hear it. However, this is not a fault with the hotel, just a bad day for us to pick!
All in all, I was very satisfied with our stay at Park Hall and would come back again! less
1st thing ignore all prices on the various websites .
Best western will charge you more when u arrive . Even thou you have already been quoted a rate . Reception staff , blonde girl , avoid , she will proberbly ignore you anyway . Or maybe possible one word answers , I'm guessing maybe a career change is due for this girl . Rooms where clean , bar prices a joke . This is Chorley , not Chelsea . Will I stay again , err NO less
Have to admit I was a bit dubious about staying here after reading the reviews. But I found it to be very pleasant. We were here for a wedding which was beautiful. Service and food was fab! Stayed in the lodges which were at most 2 minutes walk from the reception (not miles away as some on here like to exaggerate). Room could have done with a lick of paint but it was warm and cosy. Shower was powerful and hot. Breakfast ample and tasty. All in all I would recommend this hotel. Not easy finding a hotel to accommodate a family of 5 in one room but this ticked all the boxes. less
Well, on arrival I checked in at the main hotel reception, very pleasant staff, standard room in the 'village' which are essentially holiday chalets, clean, warm and comfortable if somewhat in need of a spruce.
Good value for the price, the gym is well equipped and the pools look ok.
The food was pricey but lovely and well cooked.
It did feel like an episode of scooby doo though, as its on the site of a disused theme park! Which adds a little interest to the weary traveller! less
We attended this weekend for the medieval night.
There were 10 of us from work & we stayed over.
The rooms we had in the village were lovely, we had rooms 89,90,91 & 92. We had a great night sleep, huge bathrooms & plenty of room.
Breakfast was fantastic.
Medieval night was great fun, wasn't over keen on the food but the atmosphere & entertainment made up for it.
We will definitely return maybe for Xmas party & stay over
Would def recommend this hotel less

Website of the Day: SideTaker
by Tech
Like us on Facebook
I can't decide if SideTaker is cruel and petty or brilliant and practical, but I'll give it this: It's freaking entertaining.
On SideTaker, couples come in and write their two sides of a fight and why they think they're right.
In place of a good old standoff at home or a session on the couch at couples' therapy, the anonymous users of SideTaker vote for who's right and leave comments supporting the side they're on.
I don't think I could air my fights on a website, but for those of you who do, keep truckin'. I love hearing stories like how his refusal to flush the toilet to save money is tearing them apart.

Punk-Glam-Queen 6 years
I would never ever air my fights so publicly. I feel my relationship with my husband is ours and private. IMO I think most couples fights should be worked out amongst themselves or with professional help if it gets really hairy. I can understand the feeling that you need validation for your side, or the input of an objective observer though. However, after reading a few of the fights I know I'll be going over there for amusement purposes!
Misalady 6 years
I would NEVER do that with my husband. I think it's a neat concept, though, and might consider using it with, say, a friend or a sister.

These Boots are Made for Showing Off
I love cowboy boots, and on a recent trip to Portland let my lust overcome me and bought some. I'm normally a conservative dresser (suits, dresses, skirts with jackets) during the week, and a jeans and Tshirt kind of person on weekends. Suggestions on what to wear with the new boots? They are mid-calf. One pair are a gorgeous rich brown with tooled roses and the other is brown and black tooling.
hiking boots (that are mostly going to walk through city puddles)
I'm looking for "hiking boots" that realistically will be used mostly on city streets. I mostly care about walking on slick cement or tile (e.g., many subway stations, fancy lobbies) without slipping, and about stepping into puddles without soaking my socks. A few times a year I may also wear them on a spring or fall day hike, so I'd rather they weren't heavily insulated, but otherwise actual hiking should be a secondary consideration. What features should I look for, and where would be a good brick-and-mortar store in Manhattan to buy them? (I have funny-shaped feet, so I want to try out a few options without waiting multiple round trips for shipping. Also, helpful staff would be a plus.)
Can these boots be saved?
Recently I bought a pair of real leather, made in Italy boots at Goodwill for $10. Score! Well, of course they had a problem. [more inside]

Need big hats and big boots in Toronto
Where in Toronto can I find (1) an extra large size toque with ear coverage (like the Mountain Hardwear Dome Perignon) or (2) size 15 waterproof warm winter boots (like the Sorel 1964 PAC T)? I've already visited or called several places (MEC, Get Outside, Patagonia) to no result. [more inside]

Heavy leather work boots starting to pinch
I have heavy, lug-soled leather work boots which are top of the line work boots. They're great boots! I love them. However, over the last two years they have started to rub me in two painful ways. I'm not sure if there is anything I can do to repair this. [more inside]

Personal shopper needed for some snowboots in Aisle 7 please
Say you're a hip and adorable lesbian- what snowboots would you buy? I'm trying to buy my partner a pair of snowboots for Xmas and want to find some really cute, stylish ones but am coming up short. We're in the Rockies. I just buy utilitarian boots, so I am bad at this. [more inside]
Where can I find a pair of boots like these in NY?
Help! I live in Brooklyn and I need to have a pair of lace up boots like these or these on my feet by the end of the day. Where can I find some? Doesn't need to be this specific brand, just this type of lace-up boot that you see young women wearing everywhere. Even better if they're slightly beaten up. I'm willing to venture to Manhattan. Budget: must be less than 250.
I love my boots, but they hate my socks. Help!
I have several different pairs of boots - ankle, cowboy, calf-length - and I have the same problem with each. How do I find socks that don't slide down and get scrunched under my heels within a dozen steps? [more inside]
these boots are made for walking
ISO boots - but I've got some parameters and my Google-fu sucks. Snowflakes inside. [more inside]
Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.
Inside my right boot there is a thin fold in the material that is in the perfect spot to press directly onto my pinkie toe and hurt. How do I iron this out or something? Even the thickest socks don't help; it's like a Princess and the Pea thing going on. Ideas?
Need tall slim women's boots
My wife ordered these boots but they are not slim enough in the calf. (The site states they are 13" around at the top but it is really 16".) She can't find anything under $300 that is a slender enough size. She's about 5'3", ~110 lbs, size 8 shoe. Any suggestions? Would like to keep it under $150-200 if possible.
What are the new Alaskan Sneakers?
I am looking for a great pair of Xtratuf boots like these but I understand that now they are made in China and the quality is very poor. I have heard of similar problems with L.L. Bean's boots. I have been looking at ebay for the old made in the USA boots but I have not seen any in my size. Is there another boot make that is similar to the good old Xtratuf? [more inside]
Have you seen these alt. jumping stilts? (Bay Area Maker Faire 2013)
I'm trying to find more about a pair of jumping stilts that I saw at maker faire (2013 Bay Area) that are substantially different form any I've seen online. Does anyone know anything about these - they had a glossy metallic-red (almost Ironman-like?) nearly-knee-high boot instead of the usual clamps, and the spring power seemed to come from a lot of black rubber cording bunched in the rear as if a calf muscle (I don't recall the mechanism, but bungie cording suggests it's different to the blade-spring traditional design). Are these something that can be purchased, or were they a maker-crafted one-off?
Shopping Detectives, find this boot or one similar? (Shipping problem)
So, I found a short boot I'd love to get, but nowhere that's stocking it will ship to Greece. Can you either find someplace that will (highly doubtful; I've searched a lot), or help me find one very, very, very similar? [more inside]

Dressing nicely in cold bus commute
If I'm wearing ugly but comfy boots to commute and change into flats at work, what do I do about my socks? Put on cold sweaty socks at the end of the day or schlep fresh ones? Please show your work.

I realized coming from a research background that unless someone has dispensed knowledge from 80- 300 people with results, you just cannot claim you have a working method. My final point here is that we are dealing with marketers and the best products are not usually the most well known. For example it was my meeting with Mark Manson that really shook me about the pick up industry and it was my meetings with people from Ken Wilbers integral theory that I realized the perks,reality and limitations of always seeking to fill your 'wounds'. It's a constant battle of showing up in the world and staying out of the world to hunt inner woundings.
The purpose of this post (done many, many times before) is to diffuse knowledge but unlike before we are going to use some criteria for you to post.
This thread will act as a time capsule for anyone new coming in and seeking help. The thread will be a sticky, whether you are here or not here later on, your post and your experience will help thousands of people who come on this site looking for help whether from depression, health, confidence, starting a new life etc.
But I'd like to re-emphasise that no one should really post in this thread who has not really had some truly tangible results.
Before you post, think twice… Did you get real results with what you're advocating?!
Specifically with this thread I'll totally point out if someone talks BS. I've got a good eye for that.
Got it?
[Problem #1]
I was looking for advice on how to get women, and more specifically how to get laid.
[Breakthrough] – The Past and Now
I've gone through literally everything related to Pickup/Seduction/Mindset/Spirituality to solve that problem. I've also applied the shit out of everything I've read. The only thing that really helped was finding someone who already gets laid like a rock star and mimicking him.
However, since I've had so much experience with reading about pickup and approaching/talking to women, I have found one thing that really works: And that is everything Captain Jack teaches. It's the closest thing to what I've learned from my pickup mentor, only MUCH better to apply. We have all his stuff here on TP and you'll also find my notes on his Force*21 program in the notes section of the forums.
This is a tough one. I now know that a lot of the popular pickup literature and teaching material is pure CRAP, designed by smart marketers in order to get $$$ out of people who have true pain points. But Avalust already pointed that out in his introductory post. However, when I was starting out on that journey, I wasn't ready to understand that yet. Sounds crazy, but when someone told me "Dude, you're studying too much of that crazy 'how-to-get-women'-literature!" I would have told them THEY are crazy. Right now, you could tell some people that they're wasting their time with RSD, Simple Pickup, Tao of Badass, etc. and they would NOT agree with you. They'd give you 374 reasons why you are wrong about saying RSD is crap.
I was that guy. Seriously. Think back 5 years ago, I would tell you to fuck off if you told me spending my time with RSD stuff is stupid. Now I know every pickup method out there and I'm not one inch smarter, except that I can recognise BS when I see it, no matter whether that is a piece of marketing (such as a website, sales page, seminar, etc.) or whether it is someone actually applying the methods.
It does NOT solve my actual original problem though.
So I really wish that 8 years ago, right after reading "The Game" I had found and accepted (!) what Captain Jack is teaching. And then, of course, I wish I had applied the shit out of what he's teaching.
