The Vikings
for Kids and Teachers
For Kids:
A thousand years ago, a tribe of people called the Vikings lived in the north of Europe, in what would become Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. Winters were cold, but there was a great deal of coastline, so there was an ample year around supply of fish, seafood, turtle eggs, and water fowl to eat.
Viking homes were simple log houses. Houses were usually one big room with a central open fire, and a hole in the roof to let out the smoke. Homes had very little furniture. Benches were used for sitting, and also for beds. Wealthy homes might also have a table or two. For warmth and softness, fur rugs covered the floor, the benches, and sometimes the walls. Windows were placed in roofs and covered with thin animal skin. Archaeologists have discovered some Viking homes that had partitions that could divide rooms as needed. Domestic animals were kept inside the house at night, which provided extra warmth for people and added protection for the animals.
People ate their meals with their fingers, off wooden plates. They used a knife they carried with them always to chop food. Some foods were served in bowls and eaten with spoons made of wood or antlers. They drank ale, wine, and water from animal horns. Some horns were highly decorated or carved, and belonged to someone. Horns were not shared. Everyone had their own. Most Vikings did not use glasses to hold liquids.
Viking government was well organized. Each chief was assisted by a council. Laws were clear. The family was an important unit. You can see this from their laws. Their laws of inheritance, for example, stated women had a right to inherit. Sons were given priority over their sisters. But sisters were given priority over their uncles and grandfathers. Women could inherit land from their children, if their children died without living children of their own. This helped to keep families and family property together. These laws might have created because the men were frequently away from home, fighting, raiding, and trading. The Vikings were fierce warriors.
The Vikings had a written language. But for hundreds of years, they rarely wrote stories down. Instead, they sang songs about their great battles and victories in war, and about their gods and goddesses. The Vikings rarely lost the battles they fought because their warriors believed it was better to die in battle than to return home defeated. Later on, some of these stories, called sagas, were written down. If it were not for the sagas, people today would know very little about the Vikings.
Their system of writing was called Runes. The Vikings wrote on stones and sticks. Runestones were large stones carved with pictures and writing in runes. These stones were placed so that people could admire them and learn about the bravery of a person who had died. Household items like a wooden comb had the owner's name written on it in Rune.
Sporting events were major forms of entertainment. Archery, spear throwing, swordplay, wresting, fist fighting, stone throwing, stone lifting, running and jumping were all very popular. Everyone played including women and kids. All Vikings, women, men, and kids loved games of agility, games of balance. One popular game was oar leaping - leaping from oar to oar, while men rowed a boat. To leap from oar to oar all the way around a boat without falling in the water was hailed as a great achievement. Those rowing would wiggle their oars and do their best to toss the leaper into the sea, much to the amusement of everyone. Skiing and skating were winter sports. Storytelling, feasting, and poetry were also major forms of entertainment.
The Vikings were great sailers and adventurers. Some Viking longboats were large enough to have 50 or 60 oarsmen, but most longboats were smaller than that. The Vikings used sails and oarsmen to move quickly about on the water. Their boats had flat bottoms, which kept the boat upright even when the waves were high. One end of each boat was always built very high, with a carving of a dragon or a snake. This was done to scare any sea monsters lurking about. Viking sailers kept their shields hanging over the side of their boat. It kept the shields out of their way, yet handy in case they were needed, and also helped to protect the sides of the boat from damage from rocks or waves or anything floating in the water. Their boats were so important to them that when a chief died, his boat was buried with him.
One famous Viking is Leif the Lucky. Leif and a small band of men sailed across the sea and landed in North America many years before Columbus. For a while, there was a Viking settlement on the coast of North America. But the Viking settlers missed their homeland, and returned home.
The Vikings believed in many gods and goddesses. These gods are called Norse gods, because the Vikings were called Norsemen or men from the north. Thor was the god of thunder. Iduna was the goddess of spring. Loki was a mischief maker. Odin was the god of poetry and wine. The gods of the Vikings looked like ordinary people. They had the same faults that people have like jealously and temper. The Norse gods were not immortal. They could die. The Vikings were very fond of some of their gods. Others they disliked intensely. Some scared them! Viking gods made their home high in the sky, in a place the Vikings called Asgard. To reach Asgard from Earth, gods walked a rainbow bridge. The Vikings made up many great stories about their gods and goddesses. (The ancient Greeks were not the only civilization to make up wonderful stories about their gods. The Vikings did as well.) These stories are called Norse myths.

I bet he does have something going on with his legs, which does explain the reason he was kinda wobbling back and forth when he took off running. lol. You can see his legs slightly bending, but just barely. It could even be some sort of a knee brace, wrapped tightly around each knee.

Central European Flooding Eases After Rains Kill Nine
Torrential rain that caused flash floods in parts of the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany, leaving nine people dead, eased overnight after water levels peaked and are receding in most areas, the Czech official weather service said.
"Skies remain cloudy in most parts of the country, but showers are only occasional and easing down," Milos Dvorak, a meteorologist at the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, said by phone today. "However, heavy rains may return on Wednesday night and in that case the situation would not be very optimistic."
The flooding comes as governments are trying to cut spending following the debt crisis that began in Greece. Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas said his government will provide 40 million koruna ($2.14 million) to the Liberec region, north of Prague, to buy water, fuel and drugs to the flood-stricken area immediately.
The aid is part of a larger aid allocation of between 300 million koruna and 350 million koruna that they government plans to take from state budget reserves, Necas said today at a press conference in Prague. The Cabinet is not considering selling bonds to pay for flood relief at this time, he said. Ministers will discuss further measures on Aug. 11.
Rainfall Totals
As much as 200 millimeters (7.9 inches) of rainfall fell in 24 hours since Aug. 6, causing flash floods in the Czech Republic. A state of emergency remained for three northern rivers around Usti nad Labem and Liberec.
Three people died and three remain missing in the Czech Republic, the National Fire Brigade said today in an e-mailed statement. The flooding caused three additional deaths in Germany and three in Poland, the authorities said.
The total damage in Liberec region and the Elbe river basin may exceed 5 billion koruna, regional governors told CT24 TV today, while the European Union approved flood compensation for Poland. Most rivers and streams probably reached maximum water levels yesterday or early today, Dvorak said. The Hydrometeorological Institute will have a more detailed forecast on further rainfall tomorrow or the next day, Dvorak said.
The Czech government called an extraordinary session today to work out providing immediate financial aid. Necas said the military will deploying as many as 1,000 soldiers to supply water and food and clear roads in flooded areas.
Flooded Villages
In the Czech Republic, 124 villages were flooded during the weekend, the National Fire Brigade said. The brigade dispatched 1,200 firemen to work with army and police corps to rescue more than 2,000 people by boats, helicopters and heavy trucks, it said.
CEZ AS, the largest power utility in the Czech Republic, said about 900 households remain without electricity today, spokesman Sona Holingerova said on CT24. CEZ estimates costs linked to floods worth about 10 million koruna, Holingerova said.
RWE AG's Czech unit reported some of its 4,000 customers in the two regions are still without gas supplies, spokesman Jiri Bezdek said by phone. RWE estimates "ten millions of koruna" in damage to its pipelines, Bezdek said.
Bombardier Inc. shut down its streetcar and commuter-train plant at Bautzen, Germany, after weekend flooding by the Spree river left the site as much as 1 meter (three feet) under water and idling more than 1,200 workers, company spokesman Heiner Spannuth said in a phone interview.
"We're assessing the damage right now," he said.
Poles Without Power
In Goerlitz on the Polish border, flooding by the Neisse river (Nysa in Polish) left about 5,000 residents without power as city officials took substations off-line, the city said on its website. Schools and day-care centers were shut at least until tomorrow.
The river receded to a level of 5.37 meters in Goerlitz at 8 a.m. today after cresting at 7.03 meters yesterday, the Saxony state environment ministry said on its website.
Southwestern Poland's Bogatynia suffered the worst damage. The Miedzianka River, which is normally about 1 meter wide, flooded the city within two hours, damaging bridges, sweeping away several houses and leaving most of the 20,000 inhabitants without power and fresh water.
Today, 1,200 households are still without power and water, Lower Silesia Province Governor Rafal Jurkowlaniec said at a press conference in Wroclaw broadcast on private station TVN24.

The couple shared a photo and the names of their sons.
Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky have delighted their fans by publically announcing the birth of their twins, Sasha and Tristan. The Thor actor and the Fast & Furious actress already have a young daughter named India Rose, nearly two, but have now expanded their family with two healthy baby boys. The husband and wife announced in December that they were expecting and confirmed in January that they were having twins.
Elsa Pataky & Chris Hemsworth Have Welcomed A Healthy Pair Of Twins Into The World.
The couple reportedly arrived at the famous LA's Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre on Thursday and it seems she welcomed her little ones over the weekend. "They are already home. Tristan and Sasha arrived in this world 18 March just after the full moon. Complete happiness!!" Elsa wrote on Monday in her native Spanish, alongside a snap of the tiny boys' feet. Speaking to Hola! not long before the birth, 37 year-old Elsa said she chose not to find out the sex before giving birth because "I didn't want to obsess over it."
The Couple Announced They Had Named Their Twins Tristan & Sasha.
She revealed that since she'd been getting too big to bend down comfortably, Chris had apparently stepped up his efforts in helping around the home to support her. It's not clear how many months along Elsa was when the couple announced the pregnancy last year but it's not unusual for twins to arrive early and the actress said she was sure hers would.
She held a baby shower at her LA home on the 22nd February with A-list friend including Matt Damon and wife Luciana, and Vin Diesel and his partner Paloma Jimenez, in attendance.
In a post written for Glamour Spain published on Tuesday, Elsa advised new mothers to practice 'skin to skin' with their babies from birth and revealed that she likes to dress her babies in 100 per cent organic cotton and favours the bugaboo range of pushchairs. She said "Enjoy every second with your baby because it is the most wonderful thing of the world."

"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
That quote is from Abraham Lincoln, and when I start sweating the small stuff, I run that sentence through my head and choose to focus on something that makes me happy. Happiness is something you have to choose for yourself, no one else can make it for you. So make up your mind to be happy. It feels a lot better than the decision to be miserable.

As a connecting element to the building, motifs on interior walls celebrate the interconnectedness of the various disciplines within science and mathematics. Designed by Ana England of the Department of Visual Arts, the representations are at one level realistic, depicting forms in nature such as strata of rock, cells, wings, seeds, molecules, and geometric shapes, and at another level highly symbolic representing interdependency, the life cycle, inquiry and research, numeric systems, learning, and transformation. [As described by the Natural Science Center website: Last accessed April 23, 2010 http://campusplan.nku.edu/academic_buildings/science.php]
[Abstract from artist statement Ana England, A celebration of interconnections] In this piece, England made replicas of seeds found in this geographical area by magnifying their size and rendering them in porcelain. As images, the seeds resemble shells and bones and thus show the interconnectedness of life forms.

Norman residents embrace design process
Daily Oklahoman (Oklahoma City), 2014-05-15
May 15 -- NORMAN -- Urban design expert Dan Parolek says Norman has all the right ingredients for a vibrant "center city" that would connect downtown to Campus Corner and incorporate the residential neighborhoods in between.
Parolek and other urban designers are working with Norman residents this week to come up with a vision of what that vibrant environment could look like.
Norman has a unique "prairie style" architecture downtown and on Campus Corner, the University of Oklahoma campus and beautiful, older neighborhoods that all lend themselves to an overall center city design, he said.
"There's a lot of brick buildings, of a certain shade of red, that kind of ground the architecture," Parolek said. "It's a regional type of architecture, but it has elements unique to Norman ."
Parolek is with the design firm Opticus of Berkeley, Calif. He is joined by designers Geoffrey Ferrell and Mary Madden , from the Washington, D.C. -based firm of Ferrell Madden, and Bill Lennertz , executive director of the National Charrette Institute in Portland, Ore.
The designers have set up shop this week in the LoveWorks building at 127 W Main St. They are participating in a weeklong charrette co-sponsored by the city and OU , aimed at coming up with a long-range design that residents can endorse for the downtown and Campus Corner business districts and the residential corridor that connects them.
Charrette is a French term for a high-speed, multiday intensive workshop in which professionals work with residents to look at design problems and come up with solutions, said city planner Susan Atkinson .
"It's very much community-based. It's built around what residents and property owners -- the stakeholders -- want to see happen," Atkinson said.
Residents have turned out in droves to participate in the process. At an opening session, the LoveWorks space was "packed with people," Atkinson said. Residents, property owners and business owners also drop by daily between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to watch the designers work or participate in brainstorming sessions. A final public presentation is set for 6:30 to 9 p.m. Friday .
"The level of participation in this process, on a scale of one to 10, is a 10," Ferrell said. "People here are very vocal and very energetic. We're here to listen to them and take their ideas and turn them into a workable plan."
The design team specializes in designs that revitalize "center cities," often downtown business districts that have been neglected or core areas in cities that have fallen into disrepair.
"We believe in designing places where people want to be, where they can walk, bike, shop and live, all without leaving their neighborhoods," Ferrell said. Additionally, they become neighborhoods or business districts that people want to visit or move to, he said.
"It's about building healthy, sustainable communities," said Lennertz, who travels the country to help effect changes in urban landscapes. The National Charrette Institute is a nonprofit dedicated to helping people create healthy community plans, he said.
Parolek said his firm specializes in actual designs while the Ferrell Madden firm specializes in developing zoning codes that allow the designs to come to fruition.
"It's about creating zoning codes that allow for the best to happen in a community while preventing the worst or what people don't want from happening," Ferrell said.
"The charrette process brings us a fresh team of eyes to look at our city, to see opportunities we might not see. They do their research. They've studied this project area deeply before ever getting to this point. And they bring with them the knowledge of what other cities are doing," Atkinson said.
The charrette process, because it is so interactive, also "provides an opportunity to bring people together quickly. The Norman community is really coming together and supporting this event with great enthusiasm," she said.
Mayor Cindy Rosenthal said she is encouraged by how unifying the process has been.
"You're seeing people sit down together who before have been at odds with each other. They're discussing what they have in common, not what is divisive," she said.
The dynamics of the charrette process have shifted people's notions of the planning process, she said. "They realize they can be involved in it."

An Ohio man who owned an exotic animal farm released his animals to the wild and then committed suicide on Tuesday, according to police.
Farm owner Terry Thompson was found dead in his home near Columbus, OH by the sheriff's deputies, who say his body had been disturbed by animals. Authorities will not comment on how Thompson killed himself.

Rivals.com Football Recruiting
Converse (Texas) Judson safety Dominick Maddox has helped his team gut out a well-earned 6-4 record this season and now he is looking towards a playoff run. He also has one eye on recruiters and with both his team and his future in mind, the longer the playoff run, the better."We play our first playoff game on Sunday against Austin Bowie," Maddox said. "They're pretty good. It's a young team with a lot of sophomores and juniors. Going into the playoffs we're 6-4. We came out of the hardest district in the state probably so it's quite hard to come out of it undefeated."With three interceptions and 75 tackles on the year, Maddox has been doing his part on the field and has shown that he can excel in the pass and run games."I like to play both the run and the pass," he said. "I will step up and defend the run but on the pass I will go get the ball." Some of the schools showing Maddox significant interest are Oklahoma, UTEP, Minnesota, Louisville and while UTEP and Air Force are the only two schools that have handed out offers, Maddox hopes the playoffs will change that."Probably after the season I'm going to send this season's highlight tapes out," he said. "Hopefully in the playoffs more coaches will be able to see me since they won't be having games. Usually more colleges look at you in the playoffs so the further we go the better it is."Oklahoma, Oregon and Virginia Tech are three of Maddox's favorite schools that he hopes to hear more from, in large part because of their defenses."I always look at the defense," he said. "What kind of defense they play and if they're ranked. Those are the biggest factors."Maddox hopes to schedule some visits following his season but has yet to settle his list. ...More...

10 Reasons Why 2°C Will Be Tough to Achieve

Why We Need CCS, Part 4: Carbon Negative Solutions
If climate science proves to be correct and the 450 ppm scenario is confirmed as a global priority in the medium-term future, we will probably require a very large scale deployment of CO2 negative technologies from the middle of this century. According to the IPCC, CCS will play a very important role in this regard.[read more]
2C in our Rear-View Mirror, Geoengineering Dead Ahead

Two Degrees Temperature Target is a Fantasy

Predictions of a Coming Carbon Asset Bubble Overstated

New Unabated Coal is Not Compatible with Keeping Global Warming Below 2°C

What to Make of COP 19?
Despite the wealth of optimistic publications and climate-speak here in Warsaw, the 2°C pathway remains out of reach. Perhaps the two page spread in the front of the COP publication was inserted as a sobering but much needed reminder of how the energy system is actually developing.[read more]
Record Greenhouse Gases: Is 2 Degrees Still Possible?
The latest Greenhouse Gas Bulletin released last week by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) revealed that global atmospheric greenhouse gases hit a new record high, rising 2.2 parts-per-million (ppm) from 2011 levels to an average 393.1 ppm in 2012.[read more]

Global Temperature Change: Targeting Two Degrees
There is now something of a religious fervor around the goal of 2°C, to the extent that it is almost impossible to discuss other trajectories or outcomes. The only contrast that seems possible with 2°C is something that nobody wants, the "do nothing" scenario of 4°C.[read more]

Runs on Dunkin.
Americans are up in arms over net neutrality, but their protest pales when compared with last decade's outcry over a Super Bowl nipple.
After Janet Jackson's nipple was revealed for a split second during the game's 2004 halftime show, 1.4 million Americans complained to the Federal Communications Commission, according to numbers provided by the agency. That's twice as many as the 677,000 Americans who have thus far filed comments with the agency about its proposed new Internet rules.
There's still time, however: Tuesday is the deadline for comments on the agency's controversial net-neutrality proceeding. The agency has proposed rules that would allow Internet service providers to charge ebsites for "fast lanes. So far, about half as many people have commented on the rules as the number of those who wrote the FCC after "nipplegate."
{{ BIZOBJ (video: 4950) }}
Interest in the rules surged when comedian John Oliver, host of HBO's satirical news hour Last Week Tonight, pushed the FCC into the spotlight last month with a segment on net neutrality. During the episode, Oliver urged Americans to file comments with the FCC and compared FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler to a "dingo."
Oliver's call to action was so effective that the FCC's filing system reportedly crashed the following day under under the flood of comments and forced Wheeler to "state for the record that I am not a dingo."
Then-Chairman Michael Powell seemed slightly more prepared for the torrent of fury that poured into the agency's inbox after Jackson bared all. According to ESPN, as soon as he saw the halftime show, he told his friend, "'My day is going to suck tomorrow.' And it did."
Jackson's nipple prompted an FCC investigation and resulted in a record number of comments to the FCC, whose day-to-day business generally flies under the radar. The agency slapped Viacom with a $550,000 indecency fine, the largest imposed on any broadcaster at that time.
"Like millions of Americans, my family and I gathered around the television for a celebration," Powell said in a public statement after the Super Bowl catastrophe. "Instead, that celebration was tainted by a classless, crass, and deplorable stunt."

"The chicks were bought in July and will be producing eggs by December. We decided to buy them young so that we could raise them without feeding them steroids, antibiotics or other harmful chemicals. Luckily, the chickens are actually easier to take care of this way. All you need to do is give them enough rice chaff and some space to run around."
"We can't leave them outside all the time to be completely free range. There are too many wild animals, like civet cats and hawks, ready to eat our chickens if we let them walk around the farm or nearby forest. We feed them in the morning and once they've laid their eggs, they can go outside for the afternoon."
"I'm learning a lot from my daughter about how to avoid feed with hormones and antibiotics. It's funny that organic eggs are popular again, because in the old days, we had no choice but to raise our chickens the natural way. This has been a great opportunity for her to put her knowledge to work and for us to have a way to make some supplemental income."
"When I first moved here, the area looked very different. It was mostly forest or tall grass, which grew in the flood plains. Thirty years ago, there was only a small dirt road, two small stores to buy this and that, and the school was just a single room."
"Back then, we didn't plant any rubber or any cash crops. No one did. It was only rice to feed ourselves, no one was really growing anything commercially. Most people, myself included, would have probably planted rubber trees, or palm, but no one had the money to do it. There was a lot of rattan around, which people used to make their furniture. If people had any surplus rattan or rice, they'd sell but it was never much."
"After the park opened, people started planting rubber. I don't think it was related, but it didn't happen until afterwards. I did it too, because growing fruits and veggies does not make enough money to support a family out here. Luckily, my brother has land next to me where he grows different fruits and vegetables: papaya, banana, yam, pineapple, and many local fruits. We take care of each other's land and split the profits from my rubber, and share in the healthy harvests of his fruit and vegetables."
"What's changed the most in the time I've been here? The feeling of the community- when I was a kid, we lived together. Everyone looked out for each other, going where we wanted, and eating from our neighbors' garden. Back then it wasn't stealing. We all grew everything together. People had personal possessions, of course, but the land was everyone's. We didn't have to ask to come on someone else's land or pick some fruit. Don't get me wrong, people are still nice to each other, and we still look out for each other, but the way we think of land has completely changed. Everything belongs to someone now."

I returned from living in Japan for a year this past April....I am a young professional in search of another professional. I have to describe myself as someone with a big heart, caring about other people and animals before money and material things. I have ambition to one day get my Masters in Linguistics. I am looking for someone who works hard but also enjoys what they do for a living and can have a conversation about their day. I also hope to find someone who likes to watch sports but also reads the newspaper, books or magazines. Someone to have engaging conversations with. I typically "fall for"' men who are kind of like a "guy's guy". I am tall and have dated men shorter than me but prefer men who are taller than myself. I am close with my family. I grew up on the Main Line but live and work near Unionville. The most important things are connecting with a guy because of chemistry and having a lot of laughs.

I don't usually press my hand onto the hellishly hot stove top burner when I'm cooking dinner.
That's partly because I rarely cook dinner.
The opportunity to scar myself via kitchen appliance is hindered when the burners are buried under a one-inch layer of dust.
But I'm also not a glutton for punishment. I don't seek out physical agony. Naps, yes, but not agony.
Of course that doesn't explain my willing entry into Sunday River's Tough Mountain Challenge, which sent over 1,000 competitors up the steep inclines of mountain terrain. The challenge also included 16 obstacles, lots of rope, plenty of mud, a ravine, two culverts and an excessive amount of "up hill."
"It's a challenge, but it's doable." That's what Sunday River communications director Darcy Morse said. It's meant to be fun, she said. You won't die, she said.
Let it suffice it to say, the first 15 minutes were painful: a sprint up a steep mountain incline in full view of the raging afternoon sun. I wanted out.
But I was part of a four-team and wasn't going to be the first Tough Mountain deserter.
So on we clambered, over tires, under a spider web of ropes. We waded through mud, navigated dirt-covered declines, climbed walls, hoisted ourselves out of a ravine and ran hunch-backed through a culvert or two.
It was up hill and then down. Rocky tree-covered trail and then open sky and brittle grass. It was parched mouthed and then a snow-gun blast to the face.
It was arduous. It was endless. It was awesome.
One my teammates ended up aggravating a knee injury after jumping off the obstacle known as "Skull Candy." The medics planned on sending her down the mountain aboard a four-wheeler. But she rallied (because she's tough, but also because she didn't want to miss out on the slip and slide).
Even with our team's exhausted limp to the finish, we still placed 476 out of 674. Not bad.
For a speedy look at the course (on account of my being incredibly speedy), check out the helmet cam video:
The race sold out in advance and this was only the second year, so interested folks better get on it early in 2012 if they want to punish themselves on the mountain at Sunday River.

Find out the native resolution of the projector.
Shoot the JPG size that is just larger than the resolution of the projector. You can use the individual image resize feature of FastStone but it is easier to use the Tools/Batch Convert Selected Images/Advanced feature to resize all your images at once to the native resolution of the projector.
Remember that the projector shows horizontal images so shoot that way as much as possible.

November 27, 2015
A Senate aide says Democrats are dropping their effort for now to win support from conservative Sen. Tom Coburn for requiring federal background checks for nearly all gun purchases.
New York Sen. Chuck Schumer has been leading Democrats' efforts to win the Oklahoma Republican's backing. A Schumer aide says Democrats will focus on getting support from other Republicans for broadening the background check system.
Coburn has an "A'' rating from the National Rifle Association. His backing could have helped win over other GOP senators and moderate Democrats.
The talks ran aground over record-keeping for sales between private individuals, which Schumer demanded and Coburn opposed.
The aide spoke on condition of anonymity to describe private discussions.
Universal background checks were a keystone of President Barack Obama's proposals to curb guns.

I am in the process of getting a divorce. I have been married almost 12 years. We were pregnant when we got married and have four kids together. It has been nasty and messy. I am actually moving with our two younger children out of state and he is staying with our two older children in our house. He is not the nicest person to me to be bland... I need space... anyone else split up?
Getting a divorce and moving away...

I am in a similar situation and he is refusing to let me leave the state. He was actually just awarded joint custody with me which is a mess. I am waiting for it to all fall apart. He has been a terrible father, only in divorce is he willing to parent.
Posted 11/22/2009
I'm in a similar situation. Married for almost 13 years and just awaiting the paperwork. I am also leaving the state with my two children and so far, he seems to have agreed to that. Once he signs the papers I will believe it.
Unfortunately, we have to stay living together because of financial reasons. But once the school year is over then I am leaving with the kids. It will be difficult to take the kids away but its something that is necessary.

Great experience in Chocolate & Macaroon at Arraya Centre
I ordered Three Cheese Omelet
With Americano coffee
The thing which needs an answer
That they charge for.the milk
Service very good
Food so tasty
We tried some macaroons and red velvet cake at this restaurant. For a restaurant that has the word macaroon in its title, I was expecting to eat some delicious macaroons, but these didn't even live up to be average. The red velvet cake looked extremely appetising but unfortunately tasted quite stale. The only decent thing I tried here was the...
I cannot but say that this place serves great food and deserts. Goat cheese salad is definitely recommended. It is waw. Keep in mind that the portion is big and generous. We tried several plates on the menu and all were great. I tried the chocolate caramel pudding. It is amazing. So tastey. A huge portion by the way.
Macaroons are really disappointing and tasteless. The pasta dishes are soggy and overcooked. I never tried their sandwiches though.
I love the food served at Chocolate & Macaroon more than the desserts and macaroon themselves! Rich food, go hungry and get stuffed ;)
The coffee here is pretty good, and they have a wide selection and flavors of Macaroon. A good place for a change or scenery.
Alrayya mall is one of tmy prefered malls in Kuwait, you will never find it crowded like other malls, chocolate and macaroon is located in it in the groundfloor.Burgers and the breakfast are amazing
My Fav. Restaurant / Cafe in Kuwait. Located in Arraya shopping Center, Julaiah - Saleh Shehab Resort & Finally in the Avenues - Phase II.
When you read the name only you will think about types of Chocolates & types of Macaroons, but infact it's served Chocolates & Macaroons ¬ the best Macaroons in Kuwait¬ , Some types of Pasta,...

It is our goal to recreate the immersive atmosphere the original X-Com games had. It is our intention to create not only a visually stunning game but also an emotionally immersive atmosphere.
