Chicks with ex bf baggage
Anyone else had this problem?
Im not usually one to highlight my love life online but Id like too hear random peoples opinions who wont sugar coat anything or try and spare emotions because they know me. Anyways Ill tell ya the story you let me know what ya think. Ill keep it as short as possible :)
Met this girl through my mates. They warned me from beginning shes been in a relationship with a dickhead for heaps of years on n off (he cheats on her all the time). Anyways i didn't take her serious at beginning, just another hot girl. Started flirting with her just too see how far i could get. Anyways that flirting turned into full on talking for like 10 hours a day for the next two weeks (As it does).
I asked her too meet up, she kept saying she wasn't ready blah blah. I respected that, told her its better if we stop talking cos we were getting way too close for there not to be interaction. So we stopped, i took her off facebook, deleted her number, was sweet. Then she got back at me texting non stop asking me to come meet her at a club and she was ready. So I did. She came back to mine, but we didnt ****. We continued talking for the next 2 weeks hardcore the exact same way, like ridiculously got on it was freaky. Shed come past, sleep over some time. We never ****ed though.
Then one day she told me "I dont know what uv done to me, my ex bf is sending me flowers, crying to me, saying he wants me back......but i have no interest in going back to him blah blah". I told her from the beginning that I didnt care if she was still talkin to her ex, but to just be honest with me and let me know so I dont get to strung up etc.
Then shit got off after that. We met up at a club with mutual friends one night, she was really stand-ofish. Her phone rang that night and i picked it up ; It was her bf who usually calls from private but this time it was an unblocked number. That was my first inkling. She came over few days later, we agreed to try and take the relationship a little further the following Friday night. Throughout the whole process she was always adamant that she wasn't ready to go full ball, and that it had to be baby steps after been in a relationship for 6 years.
Anyways i was really lookin forward to that Friday, but subconsciously i knew she would cancel. And that's what she did with some excuse about needing "to be with my friend who just broke up with her bf and keep her company". Obviously I didnt believe that story and i told her that. She wasnt happy I didnt beleive her. She said "Ill call you if i finish early and maybe come past" and i replied "Yeah wateva". She didnt reply.
Next day I sent her an abusive message saying I know shes gone to see her ex before and that she isnt who i thought she was (Maybe i took it too far). She replied saying im the best guy shes ever met and she "doesn't know what she did to piss me off". I saw her few days later in a club and she messaged me saying "was good to see ya, ive missed ya". I asked her to come over, she ddnt reply.....So i went skits at her again saying shes just using me as a rebound blah blah. She rang me started crying on phone.....And then ended it by saying she needs time to think about things.
I talked to her on and off next few days, and she admitted too going too see her ex after she cancelled on me that Friday night (Because I didnt believe her about her friend). Then few days later she told me she wasnt 100% over her ex and she was really sorry. I said thats cool, maybe I should see other people then too and we stopped talkin for like a week. But she started liking my photos on facebook, all that subtle shit.....So we started chatting and flirting again.
Anyways I asked her if shed slept with him whilst we were talking. She said "Not while we were talking no". And i was like "what does that mean? Does that count the few days we werent talking". She goes "is that really necessary to ask?" and i was like "You pretty much just answered it" and she said "No I didnt". Then i went psycho at her. I wasnt 100% sure if she had or not, but I suspected she did and i wasnt happy it only took her a few days after me saying we shouldnt talk for her to jump back at him.
Anyways weve talked a little bit since, ive apologised for been angry, shes apologised for whats happened. Said she really liked me, but it was too hard etc. Ive stopped talking to her the last week, and shes gone back to her ex.
So what do you guys think? Did she like me? Did she just use me as a rebound/for attention? Is it too much for me to expect her too get over her ex so quickly? Why do girls go back to guys who continuously cheat on them? Is it fair that she slept with him only a few days after ceasing contact with me? Shes only been with two guys in her life. And usually when she breaks up with her ex she goes back to him after a week, I had her for two months. Only guy shes hooked up with besides her ex in the last 6 years etc.
I feel for her cos its probly hard after 6 years. And no doubt her ex came back crying sending flowers saying he cant live without her that he can change etc. And she fell for it. Her ex literally is a ****en redneck hillbilly though so it pisses me off.
What should I do? Lay low and wait for her too get ****ed over again? How do i react when/if she starts talking to me again? Dont worry ill be seing other girls too, im not waiting around. I just know there was something special there.
Anyone got similar stories?
Re: Chicks with ex bf baggage
You're a bitch and grow a pair before next time you try this "relationship".
Re: Chicks with ex bf baggage
If you want a relationship with her and you care about her the best thing to do is to just pay casual attention to her. Friendship type of deal. But honestly just move on in this case IMO.
There's plenty of other women out there, very nice ones that have been treated like dirt by guys looking to be treated with respect and honor that will honor you.
Re: Chicks with ex bf baggage
she must be very good looking i mean damn man no ***** is worth all that bs
Re: Chicks with ex bf baggage
Yeah mate I aint the girlfriend type. Havnt had one since Middle School in fact. Shes ridiculously hot. But a great girl too that's most important thing. I can easily bounce back with a hot chick that aint a problem.......issue is whether i should give her a chance when she comes back. Like I said im not really into "relationships and dating".....Shes only one ive been intereted in like that in yearssss
Re: Chicks with ex bf baggage
It's pretty easy to say you're exerting too much energy and she is acting like a 16 year old.
I'm gonna blow your guys minds.
Life: guys do what they Can, girls do what they Want.
If she wanted you, it'd be sunshine n flowers bro, you'd know it. All this back n forth bs means her mind is fcked up, she doesn't know which way to go and she is subconsciously playing it safe by telling you both what you want to hear periodically in order to keep you guys around. Why wouldn't she? She's a girl she loves the attention.
There is no end all be all answer. It depends on who you are as a man and what you want.
A girl with baggage such as this requires tons of patience, and you can be sure that it will run you dry emotionally with all the ups and downs. Which is why I initially said you wasting too much energy. If she's special though, then you will have to continue this headache and ride it out until she completely phases her ex out of her life and replaces him with you. Until then, you're filling in gaps that he leaves open, things she needs but isn't getting from him. It's a gamble, but patience is the only offense.
Alternatively, if you rationalize the situation and figure out what she's doing isn't fair to you.. Then you should be looking past her and continue to meet new girls which requires much less energy, not at all emotionally stressful, and keeps you much more in control of your own happiness. As it stands now, the ball is in her court and in my opinion it isn't at all fair to you.
So it's a trade off and depends on if she's worth it to you. I feel like having so many obstacles before you guys are even together though, destroys the potential of a healthy strong relationship in the future.
Re: Chicks with ex bf baggage
But if I was you, I move on, start looking at other chicks (unless she's prime jessica alba pretty)
Re: Chicks with ex bf baggage
Re: Chicks with ex bf baggage
Cheers Kaspah! Your thoughts echo exactly what I think, and probly the best advice out there.
And yeah she is hot. 170cm tall, fake boobs. Thin. Real pretty face.
PS. I already said shes back with her ex atm. I cant go get that, and neither would I talk to someone in a relationship. Would jsut be giving her too much attention
Re: Chicks with ex bf baggage
Re: Chicks with ex bf baggage
Re: Chicks with ex bf baggage
Re: Chicks with ex bf baggage
Great post. I completely agree.
On another, fake boobs? Guys like fake boobs? (referring to OP's comment)
Re: Chicks with ex bf baggage
If they improved how she looks, why not? I like big boobs, and it means her parents/herself are probably loaded....
Re: Chicks with ex bf baggage
But won't they feel fake? I don't know but for me sucking on a fake tit would be a huge turnoff. I'd rather deal with naturals, no matter their size.

She was given in marriage and escorted by her son, Kayne Severson. The groom is the son of Gwen Webb of Supply and Owen Webb of Kentucky. Friends gave the couple a reception following the ceremony. The groom is the owner of Webb Erectors. The couple lives in Supply.
During a DWI checkpoint over two days last weekend, local law enforcement officers took 23 potentially deadly drivers off area roadways—that's 23 people who could have tragically changed their lives or the lives of others forever.
Terry Randolph, a speaker at a recent regional candlelight vigil that honored and remembered those whose lives have been affected by drinking and driving, knows exactly how devastating it can be when someone foolishly decides to get behind the wheel of a vehicle after consuming alcohol.
A Bolivia man is one of five people indicted federally in a mortgage fraud scheme.
On Nov. 19, a federal grand jury returned criminal indictments on Stanley Garfield Williams Jr., 37, of Bolivia and four other suspects, charging each suspect with conspiring to commit wire fraud and mail fraud, aiding and abetting wire fraud and conspiring to money launder, according to a U.S. Attorney's Office press release.
It was so quiet you could hear 10 pins drop.
Which is what Tom Gutierrez was hoping for as he rolled his final ball for a second-straight 300 game in the men's Textile League Dec. 2 at the Cardinal Lanes Shipyard in Wilmington.
Gutierrez's ball slammed through all 10 pins and the celebratory noise erupted from the dozens of league bowlers in attendance who gathered to watch the final frame of the rare feat.
The back-to-back 300s gave Gutierrez, a Winding River Plantation resident, an 837 series, just the second time he has ever had an 800 series.
Plenty of spot are in the waterways of Brunswick County right now, although few people know it. These spot show up every year after the pinfish have left. A lot of folks are unaware they are still around. These are not the bigger ones you might catch in the fall, but the medium-sized silver fish. I caught 40 the other night and could have had all I wanted. They were eaten pretty quickly; fresh fried spot in December are a great treat.
This past week, Gene and I made our 19th pilgrimage to the tiny island of Bermuda and, as usual, it was perfect.
Bermuda is in the Atlantic Ocean, directly east of North Carolina. The climate is much like ours, but a bit more temperate because the Gulf Stream runs right by it, bringing warm ocean temperatures to its shores.
A former Brunswick County Department of Social Services worker has been charged with fraud after investigators say she defrauded the government of $135,123.
April Stuckes, 33, of Breezewood Drive, Wilmington, was arrested Wednesday, Dec. 10, and was charged with obtaining property by false pretenses in excess of $100,000, a Class C felony.
OCEAN ISLE BEACH—Crowds packed the theater at Ocean View Baptist Church this weekend to see "Journey to the Manger," a musical about the meaning of Christmas and the way the holiday has been celebrated over the years.
The play starred Ocean View member Kelly Beeler as Nathan, a sculptor who created an original Nativity scene but who is not interested in Christmas. He thinks the holiday season is all about money.
When the pastor of a local church cannot afford to buy the Nativity scene on Christmas Eve, Nathan sends him away.
CALABASH—He sits quietly at each meeting, rarely speaking and never raising Cain about any of the many town issues unfolding before him.
Calabash resident Bill Seip just likes to attend Calabash commissioners' meetings—every one of them.
Seip was recognized last week by Calabash Mayor Anthony Clemmons, who publicly commended the dedicated meeting-goer at the Dec. 9 monthly commission meeting.

Somna Therapeutics LLC, a Germantown start-up that has developed a device that keeps stomach acid from rising into the throat, has raised $1.2 million of funding.
The year-old company has now raised $2 million, said Tom Shannon, who led the fundraising with fellow angel investor Jeff Harris. The company attracted 10 new investors, Shannon said.
Somna's device, called the Reza band, was developed by Reza Shaker, a Medical College of Wisconsin gastroenterologist. Patients wear the adjustable band around their necks at night. A small pad in front applies a slight amount of pressure just below the Adam's apple to keep stomach contents down.
The Reza band is being tested in a clinical trial at four sites.
"This is the exciting part," Harris said. "We have a product now and we're going to build the infrastructure to market it to doctors."
Shannon previously led Prodesse Inc. and oversaw its sale to Gen-Probe Inc. Harris is former general counsel of Apogent Technologies.

EU regulators: Google privacy policy has legal 'irregularities' and may not be 'in compliance' with law
By End the Lie
The new Google privacy policy, which was updated earlier this year, is now coming under fire from regulators in the European Union.
U.S. Senator Charles Schumer previously called for an investigation into this privacy policy to be carried out by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) although any such investigation would be questionable at best.
Note: if you want to block Google's tracking methods follow the guides found here and here.
Seeing as Google has such a tight relationship with the United States government and was cleared of wrongdoing by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) related to their spying on Americans, any investigation carried out by an American government entity would likely be laughable.
However, the European Union's data protection and privacy regulators have stepped up to the plate, challenging the legality of the new integrated Google privacy policy.
The French Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertes (CNIL) was tasked with the investigation. Representatives of CNIL noted in a press conference that users are forced to agree to Google's new privacy policy while users should be given the choice to opt-out of the policy.
Of course Google's response to such challenges is, essentially, that users can simply opt out of using their services entirely if they have a problem with their new policies.
The CNIL representatives said that the new Google privacy policy has legal "irregularities" and indeed may not actually be "in compliance" with EU law. Furthermore, they argue that the scope of Google's policy is "too wide" and that the company should give users more control over their personal data.
The group also published a dozen or so recommendations for Google's policy and the Article 29 Working Party, a group of data protection regulators from every member state, said that the 27 EU authorities have already "unanimously adopted the findings of the audit."
Among other recommendations, "the CNIL suggested Google should strengthen the consent sought for combining data for the purposes of service improvement and advertising; provide a centralized opt-out solution; and adapt the combination rules to distinguish between security and advertising," according to CNET.
They also pointed out that Google does not make it clear how long they retain user data for. None of this is surprising and honestly I think most of the recommendations will not be implemented because Google's business is, in fact, data mining.
Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, CNIL president, stated that Google has "not demonstrated its commitment" to the European Data Protection Directive's principles. The European Data Protection Directive governs data transfer and storage laws in all 27 states that are members of the European Union.
In anticipation of what will likely be a common objection to the CNIL's recommendations, she pointed out that it is "not the goal to declare war on Google and stifle innovation," but they are still dedicated to reminding Google of its "responsibilities."
Unfortunately, the CNIL stopped far short of demanding what some sources claimed they would.
On October 15, 2012 the British Guardian reported that Google would "be told by EU to unravel data policy" according to their sources, but that obviously did not happen.
Not only did they fall far short of actually calling on Google to "unravel" their privacy policy, they also said that they will give Google three to four months to follow their recommendations.
"We have received the report and are reviewing it now," said Peter Fleischer, Google's global privacy counsel. "Our new privacy policy demonstrates our long-standing commitment to protecting our users' information and creating great products. We are confident that our privacy notices respect European law."
Interestingly, EU regulators actually brought up similar concerns about Google's new privacy policy before it actually became active on March 1 of this year. At the time, Google called the EU's concerns a "surprise" and went ahead with the implementation of their privacy policy anyway.
The regulars are calling on Google to seek "explicit consent" from users when combining their data across the various Google services, which is the exact opposite of what Google did previously.
Google simply implemented the policy and told users that they either would agree or close their account. It will be quite interesting to see if and how Google complies with the EU regulator's recommendations.

Hypocritical and hilarious! If you've ever read their privacy policy, you will have no doubt about whether they're evil or not. Any time some company thinks they are "entitled" to your private information, and that they should be able to make money off of selling it to third party marketers, you can be sure they are evil. I boycott Google. Don't even use their stupid browser.Reply

A beautiful dress and with sleeves! I love it. Had to buy a size bigger than usual as size 12 bust was too small. Only hope it doesn't 'seat' or grow on me when wearing it and washes ok. Fingers crossed as I think it's a dress I'm going to wear and wear.

President Barack Obama vowed to act on his own on U.S. immigration reform on Monday after House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner told him Republicans would not permit a vote on immigration legislation this year.
Obama, in a White House Rose Garden appearance, said he had told his senior advisers to prepare recommendations for him on immigration by the end of the summer and that he would act on them without delay.
Obama said he has directed border officials to allocate resources to increase security along the U.S. border. Amid a controversy over tens of thousands of unaccompanied children from Central America surging across the southern border, Obama said most will be returned to their home countries once their legal cases are adjudicated.

Killing the Recovery
Tax hikes won't cure an ailing economy.
11:00 PM, Nov 8, 2009 • By IRWIN M. STELZER
As I mentioned in earlier columns, there are times when the economic data point in one direction, and businessmen in the privacy of their board rooms point in another. A case in point is the recent report that the recession is over: the housing and manufacturing sectors are recovering; once threatened with terminal illness, Ford Motor Company seems to have moved into profit; and retailers have sheathed the hari-kari knives they sharpened in anticipation of a gloomy holiday season as many categories of goods -- sporting goods, appliances, apparel -- sell at the most robust pace in a year, although not at the levels recorded at the peak of the consumer boom. Sales last month ran about 2% higher than in October 2008, the second monthly year-over-year increase and the highest level since April 2008. Even retailers in recession-hit California are beginning to believe that there just might be a Santa Claus.
"I'll believe it when I see it on my top line," seems to be the attitude of most businessmen, who are hoarding cash in record amounts. The Wall Street Journal estimates that corporate cash hoards now total over $1 trillion, or about 11% of assets, compared with $846 billion, or less than 8% of assets not much more than a year ago. Show us the demand, not statistics about the demand, corporate executives say, and we will dip into our ample treasuries and begin investing and, more important to the Obama administration and a Congress now only one year away from an election, hiring.
Which might in the end be very good news indeed, and provide evidence to help resolve the question of the durability and speed of the recovery that seems to be underway. You know: which letter of the alphabet do you most believe in -- the V of a rapid recovery, the W of a double-dip recession, the U of a bumping along before recovery takes hold, or any other part of the alphabet soup that is on the menu of all forecasters these days.
Lest you put too much faith in economists, consider their record at the time of the recession of 1982. As David Leonhardt reports in the New York Times, the recession seemed to be ending in the autumn, but the unemployment rate was heading to 10% as Ronald Reagan and Federal Reserve Board chairman Paul Volcker sought to ring Jimmy Carter's inflation out of the system. The New York Times quoted prominent economists who worried that "the recovery may amount to nothing more than a few quarters of paltry growth -- and possibly not even that [and] had growing doubts about whether the mechanisms of economic recovery will -- or can -- operate as they have in other business cycles." The economy, no respecter of economists' forecasts or worries, proceeded to grow at the rapid annual rate of six percent for the next two years.
Which might provide some perspective on today's job report, showing that the economy lost another 190,000 jobs in October, taking total losses since the recession started to 15.7 million and the unemployment rate past the politically sensitive double-digit mark, to 10.2%. About where it was right before the rapid economic growth of the early 1980s.
It certainly seems possible that the pieces are in place for a similar rapid recovery. The pile of cash on which corporations are sitting is available for investment and hiring at the first signs of a durable recovery in consumer demand. Inventories are at low enough levels to encourage restocking, especially since the holiday season now seems likely to be merrier than was believed only a few months ago. The dollar is weak and weakening, which should encourage exports and discourage imports, meaning more jobs for American workers. The Federal Reserve Board's monetary policy gurus met last week and the inflation doves routed the inflation hawks -- for those who don't follow Fed internal disputes, this means that those who see no threat of inflation, or of a rise in inflationary expectations, and who believe that the excess capacity in the economy will keep prices from rising, are in the policymakers' drivers seat and will keep interest rates low for the foreseeable future. Good news for the housing and other interest-rate sensitive industries.

IN 2009, a TV advert for the iPhone introduced us to the idea that "there's an app for that". And now there is. Just about any task that can be made easier with a smartphone and a bit of software has been turned into an app.
But if you need to lubricate a bicycle chain, fix a leaky pipe or try out some paint colours, the only app store available is an old-fashioned shop stocking a narrow range of products made by traditional chemical companies.
That could change. The rise of 3D printing creates the possibility of apps that can make chemicals (see "Make your own drugs with a 3D printer"). The inventors see it as a way of delivering existing products to far-flung places, but there is nothing to stop enterprising chemists from writing apps for novel products and selling them direct to consumers, much as musicians use websites like Bandcamp to bypass the music industry.
That would subject the chemical industry to the same kind of internet-fuelled disruption that other industries, notably publishing and music, have been through in recent years. But publishing and music have arguably become more creative and attractive as a result, so that is something to encourage.
Chemical apps obviously raise some concerns that don't apply to digital ones. Consumer chemicals are subject to health and safety testing; a similar regime would have to be developed for the products of chemical apps. And it is not hard to envisage apps for illegal recreational drugs. But existing laws should be able to cope.
Just as music and publishing companies initially pushed back against digital technologies, established chemical firms won't like it. They will raise legitimate concerns about intellectual property theft. But again, the law should be able to keep up - and companies that accept and use the new technology will likely prosper.
The biggest barrier to chemical apps is that most people don't own 3D printers - yet. Software apps didn't take off until smartphones were commonplace. But as the price comes down, the technology gets better and the applications continue to expand, the much vaunted 3D printing revolution may yet come to pass. Then there really will be an app for that.

i dont disagree with that. theres no argument that lee qualifies in the above criteria.
what im saying is many others have done far more and lee is just drop in the ocean of martial arts knowledge.

Originally written on Holdout Sports | Last updated 4/4/13
Philadelphia Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov gave up a goal when he "ducked" from a shot by Montreal Canadiens center David Desharnais during the second period of Wednesday night's NHL game at the Wells Fargo Center. The shot by Desharnais deflected off the stick of Flyers forward Brayden Schenn and up towards Bryzgalov's head. As Bryzgalov ducked, the puck dropped right into the net over his head. It certainly looked awkward to see Bryzgalov ducking out of the way of the puck, especially since he wears a mask to prevent him from getting hit in the face. However, Bryzgalov probably guessed that the puck would fly over the net and didn't account for the deflection slowing down the puck. The goal gave the Canadiens a 3-2 lead, but the Flyers rallied in the third period for three goals to get the 5-3 victory. Video via NHL.com.

8 Comments on Advocare Review – Here's What They Won't Tell You!
This site gives us important information about internet marketing and it will be a great help for all the readers.
When I first saw this posting I thought I was about to read something very negative and unfavorable about Advocare. However, that was not the case so I commend you on your classy approach & remaining trul unbiased. There are a few things I would like to correct 'facts' about the process. First, distributors do not enter into the company at the 40% discount….nor are they eligible to generate the 5 different types of income Advocare offers. Becoming a distributor is much like joining Costco or Sams Club, you pay $79.99 (plus shipping & tax) for a year membership. then in 7-10 business days you will receive 2 different products (Spark & Slam) which comes to a $50 value. Also, distributors are given a 25% discount off products. Secondly, the affiliation you described as being a distributor is actually the Advisor status. This entails the 40% discount (which is for life) & are also eligible to generate the 5 levels of income. Thirdly, & probably most revelantly important, the cost of becoming an Advisor is not $3000. Yes, you will receive $3k worth of products in the mail, but remember that 40% discount? It also applies to your advisor order. This is why it's called 'The Game Changer' you receive $3k worth of products to use or sell in one single fee of $2100. You essentially can sell & make back ALL $2100. So you do the math…less than $1000 out of pocket, $900 to be exact. Lastly, and although I do agree with your statement about most people treating advocare as a hobby not being satisfied with their business they have with advocare. Advocare doesn't promise to give you a secret that overnight you will become a millionaire, furthermore what about the saying 'if it's not worth working hard for it's not worth having' or 'nothing in life is free?' In the same sense advocare doesn't promise a magic pill to make you skinny & fit overnight either. What they do provide is the TOOLS and the opportunity to be the commander of your own destiny. That is why they provide other options to becoming an advisor & achieving the level of success the company was built on. This approach is recommended for those who aren't financially in a position to put out $2100 or who need to learn & experience the business side first. You must first joint as a distributor as I described before then you become eligible to meet designated sales quotas over a period of 6 weeks. You EARN your advisor ship as well as get a feel of what it takes to be a top earner. Another option is to recruit someone who is in a position to Juno straight to being a 'Game Changer' following a small required sales goal must be met. It is sad to me that there are people reading this in regards to the comment you made about 'sponsors not caring' I realize there are people not fully capable if grasping & passing on the true mission of Advocare, so I agree it is important to join under a string lineage & also one that you can see yourself working closely with.
Advocare is a scam. They use a horrible pyramid scheme that makes it hard to earn any money. What a horrible experience this was. Plus, I have used the advocare product while I was an advisor, and found them to be less effective than the things I was using before. Stop Bullshitting people. Its and expensive ripoff that doesn't work half as well as other products.
It's amazing to me. No matter the industry or the company, there ALWAYS
seems to be an EXPERT who can give you all of the advice and information
on everythiing. The truth be known, they make more money off the folks who order THEIR program than the ever made in MLM. Advocare is NOT a scam, as Candice tries to get people to believe. Her failure to succeed in MLM does
not mean it is not a ligitimate industry. Like any other industry, there are those who make it to the top and those who don't. Why do you think there are
only one bank CEO(who most likely started out as a teller or loan officer) or one Commander In Chief of the United States.
I can speak from experience. I am one who DID NOT succeed in MLM, but make no mistake, it was NOT the fault of MLM/NETWORK MARKETING).
Candice needs to put on her big girl panties and deal with it.

Ground Improvement, Third Edition
Edited by Klaus Kirsch, Alan Bell
CRC Press – 2012 – 511 pages
CRC Press – 2012 – 511 pages
When finding another location, redesigning a structure, or removing troublesome ground at a project site are not practical options, prevailing ground conditions must be addressed. Improving the ground—modifying its existing physical properties to enable effective, economic, and safe construction—to achieve appropriate engineering performance is an increasingly successful approach. This third edition of Ground Improvement provides a comprehensive overview of the major ground improvement techniques in use worldwide today. Written by recognized experts who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to bear on their contributions, the chapters are fully updated with recent developments including advancements in equipment and methods since the last edition.
The text provides an overview of the processes and the key geotechnical and design considerations as well as equipment needed for successful execution. The methods described are well illustrated with relevant case histories and include the following approaches:
The introductory chapter touches on the historical development, health and safety, greenhouse gas emissions, and two less common techniques: blasting and the only reversible process, ground freezing. This practical and established guide provides readers with a solid basis for understanding and further study of the most widely used processes for ground improvement. Itis particularly relevant for civil and geotechnical engineers as well as contractors involved in piling and ground engineering of any kind. It would also be useful for advanced graduate and postgraduate civil engineering and geotechnical students.
"It provides an interesting insight into the solutions to problems adopted outside of Europe and shows how ground improvement is of considerable importance world-wide in civil engineering today."

This is some seriously good adventuring! Have you seen that Swedish Army ski rig that attaches to a bike...ski outriggers, one on each side. Pretty cool. But they would perhaps have made things too easy....and I spy you enjoy a challenge. More, please, sir.

where was I?
Ah yes freezing myself in Norways Osterdalen, Now I've been to Norway a few times by bike, and naturally one quite rightly gravitates West to the majesty of the Fjords, (such a shame they stopped the Newcastle ferry, Norway is, in the summer at least a biking must see) but here in the region that seperates Norway from her old imperial ruler Sweden the population is thin, everyone is probably well stocked for winter spells and by and large there weren't many folk out and about, but It felt FANTASTIC! like I had the whole region to myself
The lack of traffic meant I could relax a little too, I've crashed plenty of times at low speed in enduro races and despite the fact I was feeling like a bit of a wimp as my thumb was still split in two and my knee hurt from the crash back in Bristol I wasn't too concerned about it all going wrong, much more concerned someone following me wouldn't stop in time
I had to stop and get a couple of snaps, it was too nice not to
the hint of a blue sky was promising as well, with a bit of luck I'd soon arrive at my next civilised stop in Trondheim with the lovely folk who happen to be a certain Norwegian Ex Girlfriends parents, just a little cruise along quiet roads, blue skies, the crunch of fresh powder under unstudded tyres, what could possibly go wrong?
At least that's what I kept telling myself to distract myself from the pain in my feet which I can only describe as being similar to having a couple of sharp commando daggers pushed right through the middle of them, so long as I didn't move them it seemed to be just about bearable but you knew it wasn't optimal.
Unsurprisingly the Karimoor snow boots I'd bought for a £10 the year before weren't really cutting the proverbial mustard, I'd researched proper boots of course, and for under £150 you can get some incredibly competent extreme cold boots from manufacturers like Sorel or Baffin, and some of these also have some protection about them. but I couldn't afford them, though right now they seemed like a bargain at that price, I took comfort from the pain and told myself it meant the nerves in my feet were still working so I was at least not frostbitten
It wasn't so much the lack of insulation in the boot, the proper snow boots do all feature something these did not, a multilayer removable inner which allows you to dry the boot or in my case to travel with a spare dry liner
On the flip side my £7.99 double walled snow goggles were working a treat, so thanks Lidl for that timely offer, still had to be careful though, as despite using the old trick of taping up the chin vent on my mx lid my natural inclination/habit is to put secure the goggles when at a stop or looking at a map on the chin bar. unfortunately in these temperatures it was effectively blowing ice onto the lens inner, a mistake I fortunately made when I stopped for petrol, the problem is that you cant wipe it off, it might smear a little but then refreeze, all you can do is find a service station, wash them in running water and then totally dry them with the hand-dryer
I had learnt the hard way about misting goggles in the cold whilst off roading in Wales so I had no excuse
The day continued pleasantly enough

So as the short day was drawing on I found myself at a little truck stop in a place called Hanestad, The truckstop had a huge car park area for dozens of articulated wagons but at this time there was a solitary truck parked at one end, its cabin heater purring away, and so I was immediately drawn to the far side of the car park.
I strolled into the truck stop and approached a young woman behind the counter
'Hi I was just wondering if it would be ok if I just put my tent up at the back of the car park?'
she nodded and said sure no problem and so I thought I'd try my luck a little more and said 'can I also leave you my phone to charge whilst I go and set up the tent?'
Again no reaction past a mild disinterest and a compliance to my request.
I tried to park the bike in such a way any truck might hit it before me during the night and went about the business of erecting my home from home (or home from the auto store anyway)
Knowing that my phone would need more juice I read a couple of chapters of a book by a man travelling the Pan American highway, it was not very well written in terms of substance, in fact it sounded like nothing much really happened to him, but I enjoyed conjuring up the faraway places in my mind and imagining the hot humid conditions of Panama that he described before saying why his hotel room wasn't very nice due to a lack of working Air con, I wonder if at that time he was secretly wishing for the refreshing mountain air of Norway in winter?
When I went back in to the truck stop I took a deep breath and readied myself for the cost of a coffee (which to be fair is something that is semi reasonable in Norway) as I felt obliged to conduct some sort of business with the truck stop in return for their help.
This was a slightly quirky independent truck stop, not some large Statoil affair, underneath the canopy above the fuel pumps was both an old Volvo and some American behemoth, and to the side of the premises was an old Yank truck that wouldn't have looked out of place in a whimsical Burt Reynolds film where people talked about 'bears in the air' and 'big ten fours' All in all there was a definite streak of Hillbilly about the place which was further confirmed by the old american diner furniture in the small seating area opposite the cashiers desk, In the back of my mind I think I heard the faint chords that signalled the start of some duelling banjo's about to let rip
I sipped my coffee slowly to prolong the time spent here in the warmth and as I did so I was approached by a small moustache wearing man who introduced himself as Oystein and the proprietor of the establishment, I didn't have a camera on me so here is his facebook profile picture
He was a very friendly chap and informed me that I could take a shower out back if I wanted, which I certainly did, told me he would be open until 2am if I wanted to spend time inside and showed me some photographs of previous visitors to his truck stop including a Japanese guy who camped under the porch for a couple of days last winter as he cycled his way up to Nordkapp, He invited me to stay at his home across the road if I wanted but to my shame I was a little uneasy/suspicious at this act of generosity and I can probably blame the Banjo player for that, as it turned out he was something of a family man as well as a hub for the outstretched community around him, he just happened to be into the strange American themed subculture that prevails in Scandinavia and his thing was 'big rigs'
I'd first encountered this subculture known as Raggare in Oland Sweden some years before whilst celebrating midsommers, essentially groups of greasers go out in the summer months slowly cruising around town, ideally in a 50's American Cadillac drinking beer and trying to impress the ladies, in fact as I understand it 'Raggare' essentially translates to 'picking up chicks' and so from this culture there are all the various confederate flag, jack daniels belt buckle cowboy boot wearing spin offs that put a little bit of apple pie amidst the pickled herring so to speak
interestingly there is even something known as 'Volvo Raggare' where its cool to have the shittiest looking, tuned to the 9's Volvo, preferably a 240 though 740's are acceptable also
and stranger still there is the option for 16 year olds to drive a tractor on the road, which isn't odd until you find yourself behind a volvo 740 pickup converted to be classed as a tractor revving its nuts off at 35 mph!!
essentially if only using a 2 speed transmission 16 yr olds can drive around in these things, obviously the system is open to some element of abuse re the blanking plate on the gearbox
Anyway after my shower I bought another coffee, or at least tried to, as Oystein wouldn't take my money before returning to my tent to cook a bit of dinner, it was already -23C and dropping
hunkered down in my tent I went about the business of trying to get my trusty Swedish made Primus Omnifuel stove working, except for the fact that it wouldnt work, no matter what I did I couldn't get it towork for more than a few minutes, remember the bicycle pump? well it seems the cold had done a number on the seals in this stove too
Nevertheless the cold was lulling me to sleep, I ate some chocolate and a packet of mixed nuts, far from demanding 'Haute cuisine' I just needed to push calories into myself.
As I started to succumb to sleep I lay on my mat drifting in and out of dreams until I heard a thickly accented womans voice call me from outside
Hello...Hello are you in there, are you OK?
I edged forward from my lair still largely encased in the shiny black nylon of my sleeping bag, sticking my head out of the tent as my warm breath boiled into clouds of ice as I exhaled, a very strange and grumpy dragon emerging from his comatose state
The woman was middle aged, warmly dressed, hopping about to keep warm and unlike me at that time quite animated in general, she spoke with a thick Dutch accent and said that after talking to Oystein in the shop she wanted to come and talk to me about my travel, she took my photograph and told me a little of herself
That her husband was a long haul driver but recovering from injury, so she was going with him on his weekly run from Holland, Flowers to Trondheim, where he would load up with fish for Holland, shed been keeping a journal and taking photographs so she could give a talk to the women of her church group
She very kindly gave me a gift, an apple and some apple wafer biscuits and it was at that point I realised I should thank her greatly, because I hadn't realised until that point that it was actually my Birthday that day, so in a sense the apple biscuits were my birthday cake, unfortunately the apple was only useful as a weapon by the time we stopped talking as it had frozen solid!
I'd almost forgotten my own birthday, so I state this in writing now so if I ever forget anybody else in the future I can refer back to this in my defence!
And so with a nibble on my apple biscuit I retracted back into my sleeping bag and passed out
only one more day and I would be in Trondheim, what could possibly go wrong? it was a comforting thought

K, I have a confession to make.
I wasn't going to read this thread when I realized you were riding a "scooter". Bikers don't wave at scooters and all that BS....
Well, as I sit here in my ice hut, warmer than you, i'm glad I did.
Adventure has nothing to do with the mode of travel.
Your a nutter, on level with Brokentoof, and i'm not worthy
Thank you for a great RR so far. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Sorry Gents, Ironically given the cause of my journey last year I've just had to deal with the passing away of my stepfather after a battle with cancer, and my immediate family had to take priority over my motorcycling family
Will be back on course soon
So anyway the rest of this thread (and the Mongolia thread I had started) will be dedicated to the memory of Gregory, a man who carried his injuries in service, physical and mental, with a strength I could only hope to, and with the grace, humility and kindness to my mother that will be remembered by me as his legacy

I awoke to snowfall, relatively light but persistant, I was glad It hadn't started earlier in the night, Definite drawbacks of such a cheap tent include brittle fibreglass poles and in this case a crossover pole design that make an X shape, it's a common design as it maximises internal volume vs the weight of the poles, but you'll find a different layout on a proper mountain tent as it leads to a broad flat top and relatively poor strength when it comes to the matter of snow loading
Already mine was bowing with just an inch of powder on the top so I brushed it off quickly and went back to the tent for another hour Oystein had told me that he would reopen at 10am and I had a little wait
I strolled over to the services, Oystein was diligently whizzing around the car park in a tractor with a snow blade, He stopped for a chat, turns out he came in to work on my account!! the weather was not good or set to be good apparently and so he wasn't going to open until 1pm, but he came to hang out there in case I needed anything, incredible guy!
Embarrassingly I didn't really, but I suggested a coffee would be good, he hopped out the cab and opened up the shop on my account! give me 5 minutes he hollered and climbed back up into the cab
When he came in we both had a coffee and then on his insistence I agreed to eat something, I didn't realise he would set to in the kitchen and cook me a cheeseburger for breakfast
Oystein was a legend, if anyone is in need of a chrome airhorn for their Peterbilt and is in the neighbourhood he'll hook you up I'm sure but even if you are just in the vicinity just go and say hello, I know I will and I shall be sure to try and get a little Jack Daniels across the border for him to express my gratitude for the kindness he showed me!
Far from home!
(as of last week this truck stop now has a complete tractor unit on the roof to draw your eye in!)
So it was time to go
Once more into the breach, the road had been passed by a snowplough so it was pretty clear of snow but pretty icy
At first it was fine and dandy, I was actually enjoying skidding and skiing my way along, but the snow kept coming and as I headed North I was gaining elevation, it was getting colder and to make matters more interesting I discovered that at the boundary to the next district or 'kommune' the snowplough had stopped and turned around, so the snow got deeper for a while, it certainly made the handling interesting at times, luckily the other side of the pass saw the roads reunited with the plough
one thing I hadn't considered was the way the leading link forks of the c90 would affect the handling in the snow, if you applied the brake at all the effect was the front wheel would sort of rise up out of the snow, and if you weren't careful it would feel like a very inneffective ski, luckily there was little call for the front brake
I crashed three times, but I was able to mostly either hit soft snow or just cuddly sheet ice and it was only tissue damage and anyway I was fairly sure I would have lovely clear road soon enough as we rejoined the E6

In the wake of the Second Wave, the angel menace has exploded, and Alex and Willow are on the lam. Willow's prophetic dream points them to Mexico City, where they connect with a fledgling group of angel killers led by the exotically beautiful Kara, an Angel Killer from Alex's past. But the team remains suspicious of Willow, even after the more-experienced Alex takes over as leader, training them hard for a rush attack on the Seraphic Council, or "The Twelve." This elite group of all-powerful angels is also under the scrutiny of Willow's angel-father, Raziel, who has his own sinister plan to defeat them. What Willow hasn't told Alex is that there was also a mysterious boy in her dream, one she felt overpoweringly attracted to. When brooding, gorgeous Seb shows up in the flesh, he turns out to be another – possibly the world's only other – half angel. He's been searching for Willow all his life, and when Alex enlists this rival to help keep Willow safe, he can't predict what chemistry will pass between them . . . or how far Willow might go to keep Alex safe. Will their love endure or spell doomsday for the human race?
Full of action, romance, and suspense, ANGEL FIRE is a must-read for fans of the first book.—School Library Journal

How to Access Your School of Information Email
Part 1: Logging into your iSchool account for the first time (on a PC)
In order to access your iSchool account from a PC, you need the program called SSH/Secure Shell Client. This program is available on all the PCs in the IT Lab, or can be downloaded for free from UT's software site, Bevoware . Browse the programs for SSH/Secure Shell Client, and double-click on the SSH Secure Shell Client icon. Click the Quick-Connect button. In the dialog box that appears, the host name you will use is login.ischool.utexas.edu. The login name is the one you provided on the account sign-up form. Your initial password will be the last four digits of the student identification number you provided in your account sign-up form – this may be your Social Security Number, or the 16-digit number from your UT ID card.
You will automatically be asked to create a new password – this password must be at least 6-8 characters long, and cannot be a dictionary word. It may take you several attempts to create a suitable password. Here are some helpful hints: Try replacing an "I" or "L" with an exclamation mark, or an "S" with a dollar sign. The system will only allow you five trys to change your password before it disconnects you; you must then relogin. Once you've changed your password, don't forget it!
