Viva-ing to Las Vegas
I've never been to Las Vegas, which made the tsuris at dawn somewhat palatable.
I'm here for a Waze conference. The company invited North American country managers to Las Vegas for a conference to discuss the eponymous navigation app. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I've done so much map editing that I've reached that lofty level of editorship.
Still, it got me invited. Waze paid for the flight. They are paying for the hotel. How could I say no?
Waze is an Israeli company and although bought by Google remains based in Israel. They used an Israeli travel agent to arrange our desired flights. I was supposed to fly to Toronto and take a second plane to Nevada. Everything seemed perfectly arranged.
I tried to use the automated check-in machine but it told me to see an agent. That slightly annoyed me because I only had a carry-on for the three-day trip. I've never flown with just a carry-on bag before. This was a day of firsts.
There was only one agent to guard the gateway to the line to see the desk-bound agents and she was busy running between people who were having trouble with their automated check-in machines. She actually had to deputize a passenger to prevent any of us from entering the queue to see the desk agents.
Some ten minutes later, she returned and admitted us into the line. After another wait, my turn came.
The check-in agent took my passport, consulted her computer, and told me I didn't have a reservation for this flight. This was odd, since I had the itinerary in my e-mail. I gave her the ticketing code.
Mystery solved. My ticket was purchased for the last name Yveen. (That's missing the first letter.) This second agent told me there was no way that US Customs in Toronto would let me fly with a ticket that didn't match my name. She suggested I get the ticket reissued and for that I would have to go to the ticketing counter around the corner.
I didn't have to wait long at the ticketing counter. It was 6:30 and I still had half an hour to the flight, I thought. The ticketing agent disagreed, saying that they close the flight 45 minutes before departure. I could take the 8:30 direct flight to Las Vegas, but it would cost me $150 plus tax to change the ticket.
My mom is coming into town for Passover today and at this point I was thinking I would get an unexpected extra three days with her. I wasn't going to pay and hope for a reimbursement later.
I called the toll-free number and reached the Israeli travel agent to explain the situation. Yitzchak told me he needed to contact the original agent and Waze to see if they could pay the extra charge.
A short wait later, Yitzchak called me back. Everything was approved and I should go back to the ticketing counter. I did, but the woman I had been dealing with was no longer there. The woman I had to deal with now said it was impossible to link my incorrect ticket to a new one since they are two different people. She refused to talk to Yitzchak on my phone.
I was about to give up when the first ticketing agent returned. She said it was certainly possible to change the ticket, but that she needed to be paid up front. She also refused to talk to Yitzchak and said there was no way she could accept any form of online payment.
Yitzchak swore on a stack of pitot (pitas) that somebody would reimburse me so I handed my Visa card to the ticketing agent.
Right now, I'm in the airplane. The flight crew was late, so we'll be late into Las Vegas. It's not a big deal. This flight was going to get me into Las Vegas Ten minutes earlier than my original itinerary, anyway.
Bonus adventure:
I was chosen to try out the new machines set up at US Customs. I had to stand on my tiptoes to get into frame for the camera. I also had a problem because my flight was not listed as belonging to Air Canada. The nice Customs lady helped me backtrack and choose Air Canada Rouge.
Today's paleontology lesson
A new paper reports on an incredible collection of aquatic fossils from Cerro Ballena, Chile. Spanish speakers who can translate Cerro Ballena to Whale Hill might hazard a guess at what fossils were found.
The paper, available to all in "Proceedings B of the Royal Society", describes a series of whale strandings that occurred 9-6.5 million years ago. Science has a lay summary of the work.
Such a fine collection of fossils is called a lagerstätte and can reveal a lot about the environment at the time.
Under a deadline due to the impending highway construction that revealed the lagerstätte, the research team relied more on 3-D virtualization than on old-fashioned digging.
Because these fossils are relatively recent, they don't reveal much about whale evolution, but research did teach me one thing I never knew before: the phrase "aquatic sloths".
I went to the fantastic Web site the team put together. Not only can you download the 3-D models of some of the specimens, but you can cruise a list of all of them. Near the bottom, you can find Thalassocnus natans, the aquatic sloth.
I knew sloths could swim – there are a few videos of that – but that's not the same as being aquatic. Carl Zimmer wrote about these things ten years ago so perhaps I need to pay better attention.
Aquatic sloths were not small animals. I could not find a published estimate of their size, but I did find an unofficial estimate: six feet long and up to 500 pounds. Here's a photo of the skeleton (click to enlarge):
And a couple of artists' depictions:
Note the snout elongation from the first depiction of an older species to the second, more derived species.
The driving force that led to sloths' adopting an aquatic lifestyle (although they almost certainly came back to land after feeding, sort of the opposite of hippopotamuses) was the terrestrial environment. This area has been arid for a long time, which makes it tough for a dedicated herbivore to find enough to eat on land. Tooth wear tells us that the early aquatic sloths fed on or near shore where sand would abrade their tooth enamel. The later species show no evidence of sand abrasion and probably fed in deep water, where the sea bed is calm.
Graduation '88
We're still sorting through my dad's stuff and I got my hands on a photo album that contains photos of older family, my younger brother modelling in a fashion show, and my university graduation.
Here I am in my youth and long-haired glory.
My dad in that photo is two months away from turning 48. Right now, I am one month past 48. Is it just his grey hair that makes him look so much older in the photo than I do now?
Nope – not according me, anyway. His hairline receded more than mine has. I'm not sure about the face.
Speaking of which, this may be the most recent photo I have of my dad clean-shaven.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day
My netsurfing today took me to Dorian de Wind's article on Dutch Jewry in the Holocaust.
Today, Jan. 27, is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a date chosen to commemorate the Red Army's liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp on Jan. 27, 1945.
De Wind's article pointed me to the Digital Monument to the Jewish Community in the Netherlands, a site set up to remember Dutch Holocaust victims.
My youngest brother has for years maintained a family tree that's been striking for the number of deaths recorded in Auschwitz and Sobibor. Click the compressed image below to see the whole thing.
I decided to test the Digital Monument to the Jewish Community in the Netherlands against a subset of my brother's information, that being the nine siblings of my great-grandfather, who left Europe well before World War I (yes, WWI).
Of the nine siblings, two died in infancy. One survived the war in Europe. The other six died in then camps along with spouses and children.
Here are those six siblings:
Mozes Mozes (65) – died in Auschwitz with daughter Rachel (36) and sons Izak (36) and Jacob (27). Son Isidor died, age and place unknown. Rachel's son Bernard (13) died at Auschwitz.
Samuel Mozes (61) – died in Auschwitz along with daughter Chelly (37) and son Izak (36).
Israël Mozes/Nijveen (57) – died in Auschwitz.
Betje Mozes (49) – died in Sobibor.
Hinderika Mozes-Zilverberg (53, the memorial site has the name wrong) – died in Sobibor; daughters Rachel (25), Anna (21), and Saartje (16) died in Auschwitz. Daughters Geertje and Sara also died, age and place unknown. Son Jacob (30 in 1945) survived.
Isidor Nyveen (age unknown and not in the Dutch Web site) – died, place unknown as did son Jacob (age unknown).
The one sibling who survived, Charles Nijveen, lost his son Max (29) in Auschwitz. Daughter Rachel (32) died of illness in Amsterdam in 1942. Daughter Judith survived the war, and was a blast to hang out with in 1979.
Student work
On the whole, I was impressed with the work my JOUR 428 students did on their final projects last semester. I adopted a loose definition of "journalism" so not all of these are strictly news, but I enjoyed their work.
Now, you can too. Here are the links in no particular order:

Bonus fighting of the man:
This happened again. I triumphed again. I am not impressed with the record-keeping involved in the process.
I'm dyeing
I look like this:
For Halloween, I temporarily dyed my facial hair to look like Tony Stark. I looked like this:
Many people urged me to keep dyeing, so I bought Just for Men Mustache and Beard, in light brown.
I followed the instructions and left it on for five minutes. I looked like this:
I wasn't happy with the coverage, so I dyed it again, this time leaving it on for ten minutes. I'm a daredevil. I looked like this:
Not bad, eh? I am my mother's son. Also, I need a haircut.
Symbols of faith
I found this display in a local Michael's.
Hopefully, when the "Charte des valeurs québécoises" become law (ha!), the store will post a guide to tell us which of these symbols is too ostentatious for government work so we can know which will keep us (university professors count!) out of jail.
Bonus iOS 7 bug:
Apparently, if you alter a playlist in iTunes, the changes will not propagate to your synced iPhone/iPad in iOS 7. You have to create a new playlist in iTunes, copy everything from the old into the new, then make your changes.
I had to rename my Top Tunes playlist to Favourites because Siri kept insisting I was asking to shuffle my non-existent Pop Tunes playlist.
A hidden gem 90 minutes west
As summer began I had never seen a live moose. It was somewhat embarrassing for a Canadian, so seeing a living moose was on my bucket list.
The easiest way to find a moose to look at is to find a zoo that harbours one, you'd think – but there are few zoos within driving range of Montreal and the two I know of (the Biodome and Granby Zoo) don't have moose. Parc Safari has deer but otherwise focuses on African mammals.
To Google I went, where I discovered Parc Omega, located roughly across the Ottawa River from Hawkesbury. It's a drive-through circuit, like Parc Safari and although it's been around for two decades, I'd never heard of it before. It focuses on local and European fauna: a bunch of deer species; black bears; boars; wolves and foxes; etc. The park also offers overnight accommodations which are hardly necessary but which we decided to try out.
What a fantastic destination this place is. The deer and elk come right up to your car for food. Conveniently, the park's main building sells bags of carrots for $2.50. The park warns you to keep your car windows half closed, but we preferred having the deer stick their heads in our van. The boars are also friendly, although too short to reach the windows. The ibex are a bit shyer.
The herd of bison ignores the cars but you're not supposed to feed them anyway. I'm sure there's a link there. Musk oxen, bears, and the wolves and foxes are penned in. You can look, but you can't touch, or feed.
You can get very close to black bears and timber wolves on the park's boardwalk. I'm sure they have gauged the animals' leaping ability with some precision. Again, you are not supposed to feed them, but wild blackberry bushes grow around the base of the boardwalk supports. The bears had eaten all theirs, but we could reach some ripe berries on the wolf side. The bears would sit up and are extraordinarily good at snatching berries out of midair.
And in one pocket of the park, nearly smack dab in the middle, I saw these:
Bucket filled.
Five of us spent the night in what the park calls a prospector tent, which is really more like half a log cabin with a tent perched on top. It had real beds and a Keurig. Unfortunately, the shower is only cold and you are not allowed a fire. The tent suffered from a lack of ventilation and a clammy feel, but that's made up for by the fallow deer in the forest around you and free access to the back side of the wolf/bear boardwalk. You'd have to pay again to get your car back in the park, though. That's a policy the management should rethink.
Here are four dozen or so of my pics. As it turns out, everything we thought was a whitetail deer is actually an elk.
(Click to enlarge any photo.)
Yup, deja vu
I don't have cool X-rays like last time – yet – but I did break another finger. I have two small fractures, one in the finger tip and one at the proximal end of the intermediate phalanx (middle finger bone).
There's no pain anymore. Most of the pain was emotional. I walked into Emergency at 9:55 p.m. and walked out just short of nine hours later. It had been a busy night, mostly with gastro patients who tended to vomit in the waiting room. I and my finger were low priority.
The mild pain I posted about from the waiting room had by midnight grown into real pain. The triage nurse could not give me any ibuprofen without a doctor's permission and I was waiting to see the doctor, so I had to grin and bear it.
Once I saw the doctor, he was kind enough to get me some ibuprofen. I got the X-ray, the news, and a small splint.
What was worst about my experience was leaving the hospital to find that someone had rubbed Nibbler the wrong way.
Bonus animal:
Somehow, my allergic self has agreed to let this thing live with us permanently.
Does anybody have an in on inexpensive loratadine?

America's Got Talent: Results show two
by Isabelle Carreau, posted Aug 13th 2009 12:30AM
(S04E16) Twelve more acts performed last night, and we learned in this America's Got Talent second results show who would join Arcadian Broad, Acrodunk, Drew Thomas Magic, Kevin Skinner, and Grandma Lee in the Top 20. The show also confirmed that it would be returning for another season.
From what I've read on the web, most people thought that Charles DeWayne and the Voices of Glory would move through to the next round without a doubt. As for which acts would get the other three spots, fans could not agree since a lot of the remaining acts gave so-so performances or were too close to call. Did Charles and the Voices of Glory siblings get a spot in the Top 20? Which other acts will stay in Hollywood for the next round? The results, including a shocking turn of events, coming up!
America's Got Talent: Performance show two
by Isabelle Carreau, posted Aug 12th 2009 2:30AM
(S04E15) Before I comment on this week's performances, in case you missed it, I posted the list of the eight wild cards that they judges picked. I feel robbed of talent that should have been given the chance to be part of the now Top 48. I promise you, however, that it's the last time this season you'll have me say that the America's Got Talent judges made oh so wrong decisions, which, based on some of your comments, actually had people stop watching. Now that I know who is part of the Top 48, I've decided to embrace these acts and stop complaining. Otherwise, I'll end up not enjoying the season.
Last week, Arcadian Broad (judges' pick), Acrodunk, Drew Thomas Magic, Kevin Skinner, and Grandma Lee made it to the Top 20 -- I got four out of five right. You? Who will join them this week? My comments, Piers' Xs and predictions coming up!

Relieves multiple ailments in a very easy to use liquid, a very nice colour.
Bad Points
Is quite expensive
General Comments
I use Night Nurse Liquid a lot me, I have one dose in the morning and one at night and I have found that I very rarely suffer from the symptoms of Cold and Flu. I would agree with the manufacturers claims that this product also relieves headache and more generalised aches and pains too as Night Nurse contains paracetamol. I firmly believe that Night Nurse complements a restful nights sleep too, please don't be like me and drink too much, always adhere to the instructions and don't exceed the dosage information.

As the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline looms, the CBS Facts & Rumors team will look at the biggest players leading up to the deadline. This week we'll look at the teams who will be talked about the most; next week will be the players who might be moved.
On June 8, the White Sox were nine games under .500 and 9 ½ games back in the American League Central. But then they roared back into the playoff picture with an amazing surge and now sit atop the division.
General manager Kenny Williams has said he wants to bulk up for the second half, and he's one of the more mercurial figures in the game, prone to acting boldly and quickly. On the other hand, Williams has said he's not impressed with what's available and the asking prices, and might stand pat. There's not much the White Sox could do this month that would shock anyone.
Record: 52-42, two games ahead of Detroit (50-44) and Minnesota (51-45) in the American League Central
General manager: Kenny Williams, 10th year
Expectations: High. The South Side got a championship fix in 2005, and White Sox fans are buzzing over the big rally they have made in the standings.
Payroll status: Opening day payroll was $108.2 million, seventh-highest in baseball. The White Sox have about $66 million committed for 2011.
What they need
Left-handed bat: The White Sox have gotten a collective .231 batting average from their designated hitters, so bringing in a slugger to upgrade there is an obvious target. They've been focusing on left-handed power.
Starting pitcher: Considering Jake Peavy is out for the year, Chicago is actually in pretty decent shape and could sit tight with the rotation. But Daniel Hudson's name is coming up a lot as part of a package to get a hitter, and if the Sox lose him they'll probably need to move on adding a starter.
Who may fit
Left-handed bat: Reports indicate the Nationals' Adam Dunn is Williams' top priority, and Dunn would be a great fit. As of early this week, the asking price (Gordon Beckham or Carlos Quentin, for openers) was more than Williams was willing to pay.
The other big name connected to the Sox is Milwaukee's Prince Fielder, though reports vary on whether Chicago is in that race. As with Dunn, the price would be steep.
On the next tier would be the Astros' Lance Berkman, who is not having a great year and is expensive. Also a possibility, though a remote one, is right-handed Toronto home run leader Jose Bautista.
Starting pitcher: Don't expect Chicago to be in on the biggest names, but they could focus on a second-tier guy like Jake Westbrook, Kyle Farnsworth or possibly Fausto Carmona.
Trade chips
Young infielder Beckham (.241/.297/.341) is the first name to come up in talks, but the White Sox really want to hang onto the 23-year-old, whom they drafted in the first round in 2008. He's still learning the ropes at the big-league level, but he has a huge upside at the plate.
Right-hander Hudson, also 23, is projected by most teams as a No. 3 or 4 starter, but the White Sox think his potential could be even higher.
They don't want to move outfielder Quentin (.244/.344/.517), especially with the way he's been hitting lately, but if it's what it takes to get Dunn (who, in addition to bringing a high trade price would need a place to play, since he refuses to DH) without giving up Beckham, they might do it.
Why not offer closer Bobby Jenks? Right-hander J.J. Putz and left-hander Matt Thornton both have closing experience and are pitching out of their minds right now, so Jenks, a pending free agent, is expendable.
Cuban infielder Dayan Viciedo, 21, also is attracting a lot of attention. He has batted .295 in limited major-league action this season.
The White Sox don't meet the Nationals' price for Dunn, who stays in Washington. They end up with Berkman or turn to alternative options such as Kosuke Fukudome or Adam LaRoche.

I agree, they should try and dump Jenks after the season though, there is nobody out there that they really need. Dunn would be nice but not for what they want in return. These guys can get to the WS with the team they have now, no problem.

they absolutely need to move Jenks, but no one is really buying. All packages start with Beckham and Hudson and the Sox would be foolish to package their future for a 1st round exit in the playoffs. Even if they get Prince, he could leave after 2011 anyway. They should stand pat and they will be fine.

40 year old woman | Atlanta, GA, USA | Seeking men 37-52 within 15 miles
Live life to the fullest, or you won't have a life at all.
Stop in the naaaaaame of love! Or to collaborate and listen. Whatever floats your boat. :) Now that I have your attention, stick with me for a few more sentences. I didn't fill out my profile on a drunken dare, I'm actually 100% sober as I type this. Well, I did have a Bloody Mary earlier, but I digress. So what I've listed and written, is actually who I'm looking for. You'll see I cast a wider net for some things, and I'm pretty specific for others. That's because I'm looking for the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, not deciding what to have for lunch. And don't worry, I'm not a top wedding board pinner on Pinterest. But before you go on to read how awesome I am (only slightly kidding), take a look at the "What She's Looking For" section. We're not a match? It's ok, really, please don't take it personally! It doesn't make either of us bad people, it just means we're not a match. But if you are a match, here's more about me and what I'm looking for... I'm a smart, funny, confident, well educated professional woman looking for the same. Except for the woman part. You should definitely be a man! I've got a great life, family, friends, and career - I'm a lucky girl! I love a good laugh and can be silly and goof off when it's time to let loose. SEC football in the fall is a given and the lake is where you'll find me most summer weekends. Other times you might find me visiting the newest exhibit at the High one day and at a Brave's game the next. I spend my free time playing tennis and volunteering. I love entertaining (cookouts to cocktail parties), festivals of any kind, a good bourbon on the rocks, and trying new restaurants. Confident gentlemen are sexy! Nervous boys and egomaniacs, not so much. I love Atlanta and living in the city. As nice as I'm sure McDonough, Cartersville, etc... are, I don't consider them Atlanta. I've found men who only say "Hi" in an email have little to offer to the conversation later on. So let's see some of those writing skills! I try to respond to every email. If you took the time to write, the least I could do is respond, it's just the nice thing to do. I could go on, but time is valuable and I should save something for our first date. Best of luck!

I am happy to see Wednesday. Yesterday was one of those days where it was just too much. I was not up for a 12+ hour work day with everything that was weighing on my mind.
I am glad that I took a day to myself. I had no idea how stressed out I really was. I was in denial about the stress. I am the butterfly of optimism, but yesterday, reality hit like a stack of stones.
I accept that this situation is very sad and highly unfortunate. I appreciate all of the advice. Some of it has been helpful for sure. I helped to create this mess, and there are two paths. Path A is that path that was taken and has continued to be taken. I know what happens when walking down that path. Matt's needs still get trampled over and ignored in lieu of what someone else wants. Path B involves cutting the ties now instead of prolonging the inevitable. This path involves possibly hurting my children. I know it should be about them, but as their mum, I have a say in what is best for them. Stability in their home life is essential. The marriage between us is one of the first relationships they will be exposed to on a consistent and daily basis. We need to show them an example of what a healthy relationship looks like. The number of people in this relationships is neither here nor there. Feuding parents who end up just sharing space due to conflict of interest with the third parental figure is not healthy or a conducive environment for them. No, I do not want to teach them certain things like, "If you get mad at someone, it is okay to cut them off and dismiss them as if they never mattered." That is not quite part of the lesson plans of life format that I care to follow.
Si continues to be an ongoing issue of contention in our marriage. We do not discuss her outside of counselling. The only time we do is if an issue arises that cannot wait until Thursday afternoon. It is counterproductive to keep pushing this issue and hoping that he will change. It is crystal clear that he is not going to change. We are in counselling for lack of communication and lack of listening on my part. Amongst other things, of course. If I continue to go against Matt, it is only a matter of time before it falls apart again, and this time there may be no recovering from it.
After much thinking, soul searching, and weighing the pros and cons, I think I have made a decision. I am stopping them from being around Si. I realise it is hurtful, may not be right or agreeable to all, etc., but in order for counselling to work and to restore some semblance of peace, in my heart of hearts, I believe this is the right decision. This decision was not made in haste. I remained neutral and kept my personal feelings out of it. I reviewed the facts. I took Matt's perspective and all thoughts and sensible feelings into account. I viewed it from Si's point of view, too. I put myself in their shoes and asked, "How would YOU handle this, Ry?" While in Matt's shoes, I realised I would have left a long time ago and stopped tolerating it. While in Si's shoes, I felt hurt, like I had already lost so much, and this would be another blow. I viewed it from daughter's point of view. This is someone that has been in her life and part of it since before she was born. (In the back of mind, I remembered what Matt said about the nanny being part of her life the same amount of time but not expecting her to call her mummy or act like she was her mother, and she sees her every day.) Did we force her to call Si mum? What is the difference between Si and the nanny? Why did she not associate the nanny with being like a mum?
For the first time, I feel like giving Si those kind of parental rights was a mistake. I hope this is not coming from a place of frustration and tiredness. I know people do parenting all kinds of ways. For some, shipping their children off to boarding school from the ages of 11-18 and living child-free is their way way of being a parent. For some, pawning their minor children off on friends or family so they can gallivant all around the world and chase behind a man or woman is their chosen method of parenting. For some, they prefer to have a team of nannies and be as hands off as humanly people. For some, staying at home and forgoing a career is their chosen way. None of those methods describe my style, though.
I choose to be a working mum, but I am involved in their lives every step of the way. No matter what is going on in my world, I stop and give them the love and attention they deserve. Those 15 minutes of playing peek-a-boo with my son, and that time I spend French braiding my baby's hair mean everything to them. I may be on the verge of tears or within seconds of falling apart, but I still give 150% to them. I am a mum, and I signed up to do this the minute I knew she existed. Even when I was 15k km away, I was still a mum. I do not get to stop being a mum because Matt makes me mad. I do not get to stop being a mum because my life has changed beyond recognition. I would not want to stop either. It is part of who I am until the day I die.
When Matt asks what Si has done to earn these rights, he is not being bitter or even expressing sarcasm. He genuinely wants to know because he does not understand what she brings to their lives or what she did to even be granted those rights. He asked me in counselling one day, "Where was she when we were potty training our daughter? Where was she when the first steps were taken? Where was she when our daughter was teething and hurting? Where was she after she received immunisations and was running a fever? Where was she during paediatrician appointments? Where was she when our daughter was having bad dreams and wanted someone to look under the bed for monsters? Where was she when tears needed to be wiped? Where was she when our daughter wanted someone to play with her and tickle her? Where was she when we had newborns, were up all night, and had to be at work for and operating under limited sleep?" It was like a firing squad. I could not answer a single question. He finally asked me, "Do you remember that night that we were both drained and laying there like we were lifeless?" I was like, "Yes." "Remember who was there and what was not said or even asked?" "Yes." Our counsellor asked who was there, and why does this matter? I responded, "Si." She asked Matt, "What is it about this night that bothers you?" Matt looked at her and said something to the effect of, "Her girlfriend saw how tired we were, and do you know she continued getting dressed to go clubbing with her friends? If she was so devoted, she would have realised that two tired people and a baby could have been a recipe for disaster and a safety hazard. I guess partying was more important." Our counsellor asked him, "Did you ask her to stay or tell her that you were tired?" His retort was, "I should not have to ask their other "parent" to help out. That should be a given. You see something needs to be done. Say the dishes. Do you wait until someone asks you to do them, or do you just do it yourself?" Her response, "I do what needs to be done without being prompted." Matt said, "I rest my case."
I am going to sleep on my decision, but I think it is what is for the best. I am going to finish watching "2 Broke Girls" and go to sleep. Today is a 10 AM day, so I can sleep a little bit later. I am still going to have breakfast with my children like I do every day. I missed the bedtime ritual, but I did talk to them on Skype before bedtime. Good-night.
Our counsellor asked him, "Did you ask her to stay or tell her that you were tired?" His retort was, "I should not have to ask their other "parent" to help out. That should be a given. You see something needs to be done. Say the dishes. Do you wait until someone asks you to do them, or do you just do it yourself?" Her response, "I do what needs to be done without being prompted." Matt said, "I rest my case."
I'm trying to think of a nice way to say this, but yes, in my experience, you should ask the other parent to help out. I've never had the experience, either growing up, or as a parent myself, where it was completely expected that the other parent would just drop all of their plans to help out. My husband was military, I worked and went to school. At one point, we were on completely opposite shifts. He left for post at 5am, I got home at 7am. Our room mates slept in the room down the hall from our son until after I got home. (They didn't even wake up for tornado sirens). When I got home, I'd make breakfast, wake the toddler, feed and play with him, clean house, maybe nap for 2 hours with him, then wake up and play with him, make dinner, before the hubby got home. Then, I'd ask if we could squeak in some family time before the toddler went to bed. Sometimes hubby said yes, sometimes he had game night with his friends. Toddler would get bathed and put to bed and I'd catch another 2-3 hour nap before I had to walk to work.
Not saying that it's a bad thing that Matt wants to contribute more, just saying that contrary to his belief, that isn't how it's generally done. And just expecting someone to drop everything because someone is tired, doesn't mean they should. He should have asked, just like he would ask if you'd mind picking something up at the store on the way home from work. It's common courtesy. Gesh, I get that you made mistakes, but the biggest mistake I've seen in here is holding people to unfair expectations all around; and I say unfair because not a single one of you communicated your expectations clearly and are all feeling butt hurt (pardon my language) that they didn't do what you expected them to.
And it wasn't dangerous to leave the two of you home tired, with a baby. . . that's just ridiculous. Parents have been sleep deprived for thousands of years, with and without help, and that is a perfectly normal and safe environment for children to be around. Otherwise the human race would have died out long ago.
Your therapist is an amateur. Here is why.
No wonder you are feeling ganged up on, because you are. No wonder Matt continues to go, because he is constantly subtly validated for his actions. Have you considered that one of the very behaviors which would serve everyone best to eradicate (Matt's uncommunicativeness) is actually being perpetuated by the person who is supposed to nudge him into modifying it? This is why you don't break rule number two.
By breaking rule number three she did one destructive thing (and one other potentially destructive thing). The first is by agreeing with Matt's handling of the situation she forfeited her objectivity as a therapist and became "the swing vote" - a mere pawn to be used and convinced by whoever has the more compelling argument (which, like BrigidsDaughter, I don't agree Matt was in the right in that situation). If you want someone to agree with you, any bum off the street or the internet will suffice. That's not the point of a therapist. The second thing is now, if there are future fundamental disagreements between you two, she has set up this dynamic where she has already "cast her vote for who gets booted off the island", so to speak. She is now personally vested to "win". Even if she might agree with you on principle in the future and disagree with Matt, the power of previous alliances is a profound, influential one. A therapist that can be swayed so easily and fall into the very trap she set (and indeed, should have been trained not to fall into) is not one who is self-aware enough to see how her actions cause these small shifts in power. Ry, you can only lose.
If that conversation with your therapist is one of the major things that led you to this conclusion about how to handle things with Si, namely cutting her out of your children's lives, I urge you to reflect. Perhaps even, examine future sessions critically.
I feel for all of you. I feel for Matt, for you, for Si and for your children.
You are the one communicating here and what I see is a constant flip flopping of decisions. Not long ago (a week or so, I think) you'd decided to cut Si out of the kid's lives. Then you revised that decision. Matt was going to see a therapist about his parental alienation thingy. Then you were exhausted, had a day off work and now you're back to cutting Si out of the children's lives.
You cannot remain neutral in this. You more than anybody. You are making decisions that affect your husband, the woman you were in love with for over decade and the children that you gave birth to. You cannot be neutral and if you feel like you are being, you are kidding yourself on.
Plus, you've written very clearly that what you want is a peaceful home life so that you can continue working very long hours without becoming overly stressed. So even without your emotional involvement with the others, your own interests drive you to seek the solution that you believe will give you the most peace in the shortest period of time.
Is it possible for you to take annual leave from work for a few weeks or get your GP to sign you off for a while to give you time and space to think, to see different counselors and to adjust to the new reality of your life?
I have found my work helpful during the stress and loss of the last few years of my life. But - I have been dealing with illness and death rather than break ups and resentments and turmoil in my home. And - my job is much lower stress and has much shorter hours than yours does so it doesn't stop me sleeping or add to the tumult in any way.
I worry that simply in terms of hours out of the house and tiredness your work isn't helping in attempts to deal with Matt's ongoing resentment and you and Si's breakup. So maybe a break from dealing with work would help you deal more easily with the challenges in your home life.
Which to most people in the world of monogamy makes Si either a good friend, or a pseudo stepparent. But not responsible for them. Which she obviously isn't, either legally, or via any agreement with Matt and Ry that made her one in some genuine way.
I just read about a case where the mother fell asleep for 10 hours with a 4 month old and a toddler in the house. When she finally woke up both children were dead. There is an inquest going on right now. The father says the mum was never depressed, but suffered from anemia and extreme exhaustion. Accidents happen, so I understand.
I am not butt hurt over anything. I never asked anyone to a do anything for me. I brought my children into this world, and it is my responsibility to take care of them. Expecting anyone to do anything is ridiculous. Implied, explicitly stated, or any other way.
I am not taking off work unless it is just mandatory like my children. I will not let this situation interfere with something I love. My job does not stress me out that much. Long hours? Yes. Every health professional goes through phases of, "Why am I doing this?" It is rewarding when it is all said and done. I beat all the odds, and despite getting tired from time to time, I am proud of myself. I am doing what I love and what I am passionate about. It makes me happy.
Yesterday was a one-time deal. I am back at work today. If I take time off, that is not going to help me. It is not going to make me feel better, think any clearer, or lessen Matt's resentment. I cannot control another person's actions or emotions. I can only control mine. I do not want to see any more counsellors. I barely want to see the one we have now, and that is just once a week. It is nothing against her, but I am tired of the whole process. Tomorrow marks nine weeks of counselling and nine weeks since everything fell apart.
Yes, my husband did talk to a therapist who specialises in PA. It did not change his attitude one bit. If anything it further upset him because that implies that he even has to acknowledge her as a parent. He does not view her as a parent because he does not think she has earned it, so it went in one ear and out of the other one. Earning by association or being in close proximity is not a valid enough argument to warrant being granted parental rights to him. For every argument, he has a counterargument, that usually has valid and concise points. He asks questions that no one has the answers to.
I want peace. Everyone should want that in some form.
I agree with a previous poster, that you guys may not have the "right" fit in a therapist. I understand how changing at this stage could be too overwhelming a task, but it might be worth searching for a better fit after your move. Living 20+ years with crappy communication, it takes time to change bad habits and that third party is extremely helpful.

Perfect foundation
Posted by Marie on 19th May 2015
This foundation is the best I've ever used. It covers blotches, uneven facial coloring, etc. without looking like a mud pack. One of my coworkers didn't even realize I used foundation at all. It works beautifully with the Artista color match concealer. Blends smoothly. The Principessa Beige is such a perfect match for my skin color that I can make a "stripe" on my cheek while I'm applying and the color is exact. It's also not oily - when I use the foundation in the tube my face is way too shiny.
Can't be without it!
Posted by Elaine on 25th Apr 2015
I have used this product for at least ten years. It gives an aging skin a smooth even coverage without appearing too made up. The finish has a slight shimmer that softens the appearance of fine lines and imperfections. The only thing that would make this better is if Borghese brought back their loose finishing powder...pretty please?
What I look for in a foundation.
Posted by Victoria in Tennessee on 20th Mar 2015
When I shop for a foundation I need a coverage that will stay on for the entire day. One that doesn't change color or turn shinny and looks natural. This is why I can't live without Borghese Virtuale Flawless Foundation. I apply it in the morning and 9 hours later all I need is a little touch up on lipstick and I'm ready for my evening plans . Also I take pride in my complexion and a great foundation is an important part of protecting my skin from damage. Please never stop selling Borghese Virtuale Flawless Foundation-Bisque color :-)
Not what expected
Posted by Unknown on 28th Feb 2015
I just recently received this. I am disappointed.When I opened the jar it had about one half inch of clear liquid on top. I assumed that this would mix into the foundation, it didn't! It seems a little to heavy for me.
Posted by Stacia L. Smith on 31st Dec 2014
This foundation is remarkable. It makes my skin look flawless. I've had numerous compliments on my makeup and have told people I only use Borghese skincare/makeup products. I will continue to use only this makeup as long as it is available to me.
Please don't ever discontinue this!
Posted by Elaine in Mississippi on 3rd Oct 2014
Great controllable coverage from light to full. Reflects just enough light to give an airbrushed look and a dewy finish. (Please bring back the companion loose powder. It is the perfect finish and helps the flawless finish have more staying power.)
Wonderful Product
Posted by Ernestine on 8th Sep 2014
I first tried this product when it was being removed from a local department store. It is the best. Since I started using it, I haven't found anything that compares to it. It matches my completion exactly and hides imperfections without a heavy makeup look.
makeup colors
Posted by Arlene Johnson on 29th Aug 2014
I recently ;purchased three jars of makeup in three different shades. The reason I did that is because your color chart is terrible and it is very difficult to tell what color to order. There is no description of the colors you offer, and the color chart is so small that I have to guess what color would match my skin tone. I ended up giving one of the jars away to my daughter-in-law as I think it will be closer to her skin color.You really need to update your chart and give a description.
makes me look good
Posted by Dolores O'Brien on 24th Jul 2014
I apply with a makeup brush. A little of the product goes far. love the look.
Posted by Carol Eidson on 9th Jul 2014
This leaves a great "dewey finish" on your face. It is a great product.

Treat Your Mom for Mother's Day
One day is never enough to show Mom just how much you love and appreciate her. A lifetime wouldn't even be long enough for me to show mine, but we can at least start by giving her the best one she's had on this Mother's Day (May 12th...mark your calendars!). Of course she would appreciate a phone call or sweet card in the mail, but after everything she has done- and continues to do- solidify your title as "Best Daughter Ever" by going above and beyond this year.

Nissan GT-R INSANE Launch Control Between the Crowds and Revs!
During 2014 Gumball 3000, there was this Nissan GT-R R35 from Team Wolfpack. It was sick! The car had a lot of modifications and I have no idea what they were. For sure, a very sporty Exhaust and a lot more power than the stock one. Arriving in London, the driver did a launch control in the middle of the crowds with not a lot of space in front of him. Also, his passenger was sitting on the side of the window! These guys were crazy and gave this year's Gumball a lot of epicness. Enjoy!

I prepared small tandori burgers (1 pound chicken = 16 mini burgers).
I didn't have ground chicken, so I chopped 1 pound of chicken breast.
I served this with, cucumber, nectarine peaches, yougurt and lime pickles
Woderful, this made a great appetizer!
I prepared the wholegrain buns myself and baked them while I was baking the burgers on two different baking sheets.
Thanks a lot for this easy recipe.

Right are the timers, left is the PopupMessage, as it is also named in the config of BigWigs (:
This is not a Big Wigs feature, from the looks of it it's some kind of chat bubble probably from a chat addon. Big Wigs uses the LibSink library to share outputs with other addons. If another addon you have installed has allowed its output to be shared then you'll see it in the Big Wigs config. There is no configuration for it in Big Wigs other then the ability to use it as an output, because it isn't created by Big Wigs :)

The JUMP Pilot Project
OpenJUMP is a community driven fork of JUMP the "Java Unified Mapping Platform" GIS software. The original JUMP was developed by Vivid Solutions, released under GPL2 in 2003 and discontinued in 2006. During 2004 already some enthusiastic developers joined together to enhance further the features of JUMP. They launched an independent development branch called OpenJUMP. The name gives credit to the original JUMP development, and at the same time describes the objectives of this project to be fully open to anyone wanting to contribute. These days OpenJUMP is developed and maintained by (some few) volunteers around the globe. If you need functionality or even better want to contribute you are very welcome to contact us at our mailing list.798 weekly downloads
