About Allan
Awards for heroism
Allan Sparkes CV is one of only five Australians in the past 40 years to be awarded Australia's highest bravery decoration, the Cross of Valour, awarded for 'acts of the most conspicuous courage in circumstances of extreme peril.' In December 2012, Allan was one of only 10 Australians to be presented the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal. He is also the recipient of other significant awards for bravery, valour and service including the Royal Humane Society Galleghan Award and the New South Wales Police Commissioners Valour Award. An unfailing dedication to service Allan served for 20 years as a frontline police officer. He was involved in the horrific aftermath of the Hilton Bombing, arrested some of Australia's most notorious criminals and faced the tragedy of murdered colleagues. Allan was involved in one of the most decorated successful rescues in Australia's history, where he and his colleagues saved the life of a young child who had been swept 600 metres down a flooded stormwater pipe. In 2014, he risked his life again, jumping onto train tracks at Sydney's Redfern station to save a man who'd tumbled into the path of a train, resulting in news headlines such as, "Is this Australia's greatest hero?" (Daily Mail, 22 May 2014).
Circumnavigating life—and the globe
The effects of Allan's work caused dramatic changes in his career, his relationships and his life. Allan set about rebuilding everything that mattered to him by commencing a process of recovery—a roller coaster of successes and challenges which lasted for many years. Since his childhood, growing up in western NSW, Allan's ambition was to one day sail across the oceans of the world. Allan knew this could be the critical factor in getting his life back on course.
In March 2009, Allan, his wife and two young children left Australia and set sail from England on their yacht. Even though Allan's wife and children had no blue water sailing experience, they sailed 16,000 nautical miles (30,000 klms) back to Australia, crossing the Atlantic Ocean, through the Panama Canal and across the Pacific Ocean—an adventure of a lifetime that few realise.
Spreading the word, sharing the journey
It is this spirit of achievement that underpins Allan's philosophy on life, and as a speaker, his messages of hope. Allan will open your hearts and minds and draw you into his unique and compelling experiences. His story is a magnificent example of turning fear into courage and failure into success.
Allan's recovery from debilitating mental illness tested his resolve for more than a decade. With the unwavering support of his wife, he faced his demons and rebuilt his mind, body and soul. Today he is a BeyondBlue Ambassador, a Soldier On Ambassador and one of 8 Australians who form the National Leadership Group of Suicide Prevention Australia. Allan also volunteers much of his own time travelling to events around Australia, telling his story about his experiences with PTSD and Depression and providing knowledge, hope and inspiration to others through his dynamic presentations.
Allan's book, 'The Cost of Bravery' was released on May 22, 2013. The forewood for the book was written by renowned Australian, Mr Ray Martin AM and is now in its second edition. Allan has appeared on national TV including 60 Minutes, Sunday Night and A Current Affair. He has also appeared on Richard Fidler's conversation hour and been interviewed on many other national radio programs.

Speaking Testimonials
Brigadier Paul Nothard AM,CSC, Commander 17th Combat Service Support Brigade at the Australian Army
"A colleague recommended that I contact Allan to speak at my Command Conference this year, where one of the topics we were discussing was resilience. Allan's life is the essence of resilience and his introductory speech to this topic really set the scene for the discussions the following day. Allan's story is as inspirational as it is fascinating - his soul-bearing honesty and willingness to explore a broad range of questions in the Q&A made for a fabulous presentation. Allan is an engaging, inspiring and entertaining speaker; but best of all (as I discovered at dinner that night), he's a genuinely great bloke. " Brigadier Paul Nothard AM,CSC - Commander 17th Combat Service Support Brigade - Australian Army
Ceara Fox, George P Johnson
Allan's story is inspiring and his presentation skills and personality are warm and engaging. I especially loved the team building exercise that pushed us out of our comfort zone and reinforced the practical importance of collaboration, teamwork and communication.
Gerald Foley, Managing Director - National Mortgage Brokers
Allan Sparkes spoke at our National Conference held on the Gold Coast in March 2015. Allan's approach was relaxed and informal but highly engaging. He spoke openly, honestly and with sincerity. Allan held everyone's attention from beginning to end and everyone left with the utmost respect for the man himself, and importantly the message he delivered. Allan spent plenty of time with our delegates both before and after his presentation. The feedback we've received since was that Allan was a wonderful choice, a brilliant and inspiring speaker. He was a delight to deal with and I'd highly recommend Allan to anyone looking for an inspirational speaker. Gerald Foley Managing Director National Mortgage Brokers
Nicolette Hughes, Director Conference and International Events / A.S.F.A
Allan Sparkes was an absolute pleasure to work with both pre event and on the day of our event. His commitment to achieving the right outcome for the client, in this instance ASFA was second to none. I have secured hundreds of professional speakers, both locally and internationally, and I would have to say that this session with Allan Sparkes, Ciaran Gribbin and Mark Donaldson VC will be amongst my most special career moments. Likewise, the 1500 delegates will remember this presentation forever, being privileged to join Allan on this journey.
Dr Tim Sharp, The Happiness Institute
I've been lucky enough to meet many inspirational people in my work but Al would have to be close to the top of the list. If his own achievements weren't impressive and courageous enough, he now dedicates much of his time to inspiring others to achieve their own meaningful achievements. Al's story is truly amazing and his ongoing work is just so valuable. I feel honoured to know Allan Sparkes and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a genuine, authentic story-telling speaker.
Russell Mason, Committee member, ASFA Conference
Allan was one of the keynote speakers at the Grand Finale lunch. In front of 1,500 delegates, Allan told his story of heroism and resilience in a way that was incredibly moving and at the same time up-lifting and inspiring. Allan spoke with an honesty and sincerity that had everyone in the room holding on to each word.
Dr Jason Pace MBBS BSc(Med) FRANZCP , Director, The Hills Clinic
The Hills District Mental Health Week Seminar "For several years, The Hills Clinic has hosted a free community seminar during mental health week. The highlight of these seminars is typically our keynote speaker, who shares their personal experience with mental illness and can offer hope and inspiration. Over the years we have been lucky enough to have some fantastic speakers such as; John Brogden, Neil Jenman and Graeme Cowan to name a few. When Allan Sparkes was proposed as this year's keynote speaker, few people in our organisation had heard of him or his story, but reading about his story online, it certainly seemed that he fit the bill. A week before our event, Allan generously, made himself available to meet with local newspapers to help promote the event, also allowing him to meet with our group. I was immediately impressed with his warm, relaxed and professional manner. His presentation was intimate and inspirational. Apart from two brief videos clip, no other visual aids where used but despite this, he held the 100 plus audience on every word of his story of courage, heart ache and triumph. Allan is someone who everyone in the audience could identify with. His is a natural story teller who understands how to structure a presentation and take the audience on a journey. Allan's presentation was the pinnacle point of our 2012 seminar, receiving a standing ovation from all present. I feel privileged to have met and heard Allan story and recommend him gladly to anyone looking to inspire an audience. I look forward to reading his upcoming book and wish him all the very best in the future."
Michelle Aubert, Conference Manager, Coffs Coast Marketing
Allan spoke at both my Local Government Information Technology Conference and my Local Government Executives conference. Allan's presentation was amazing - he opened up to a room of strangers about his personal life which saw his life fall apart and then went on to explain how he reinvented himself with the help of his wonderful wife and children. I found myself holding my breath and wiping my eyes at the same time. All of my delegates enjoyed Allan's presentation and I believe it was the best one on the program.Do yourselves a favor and book Allan for your next conference.
Scott Lovett, Director, Business Events, Tourism NT, Association of Australian Conference Bureaus Annual Conference
In a world full of hype and hyperbole, it was great to hear a real story told straight from the heart. Al's story full of raw emotion captivated our group and had everyone on the edge of their seats with not a dry eye in the house. Al received a standing ovation from our group of hardened conference veterans—the first I have ever seen.
Trudy Adams, Business Support Manager, BUPA Leadership Forum
Allan was excellent! Very interesting and engaging and did well to tie his story back to health/leadership as was the theme of the conference. Allan's session was rated the highest of the three days by attendees. Many delegates were personally touched by the stories.
Praise for The Cost of Bravery
Find reviews of readers of Allan's book from Goodreads, including this 5 Star review Everyone should read this book; it's an amazing story! It's gripping from the beginning, and once you start you can't put it down. And once you've finished,…..you'll never be the same again. It made me laugh, and cry, and at times although I felt paralysed with fear, I was driven to keep turning the pages and read on. There were times throughout the journey I was painfully aware at how humbling and brutally honest Allan Sparkes was in retelling this part of his life, and grateful that he shared it. I feel enriched and enlightened for having read it. It's a truly powerful and inspirational read, and I'd love to see the Education Department take this on for all High School students as a must read.
Amazon Books
Read reviews of Allan's book, the Cost of Bravery from Amazon.com, this is just an example; "The Cost of Bravery by Allan Sparkes is a must read for Law Enforcement, their families and anyone interested in policing. It is honest, powerful and has brought me tears of sadness and joy. PTSD, as with other psychological conditions, are understated battles people face made even worse if you are a police officer. His courage throughout his ordeal should be commended. His resilience and strength to overcome it should be celebrated. It gives you hope and even though I'm a civilian, it was the first time I truly did not feel alone as I battle my own demons. He has inspired me to keep fighting and to strive to achieve my goals and dreams. I cannot recommend his book enough."

I don't know about you, but I'm at the point now that when I hear about games transitioning away from Games for Windows Live, my immediate reaction is surprise that there are still games out there using Games for Windows Live. But there are, among them the popular Capcom titles Resident Evil 5 and Dead Rising 2—but not for much longer.
Games for Windows Live has been in a Schrödinger's service-style quandary since last year, when a (quickly deleted) Age of Empires Online support update claimed it would shut down this July 1st. Ever since, it's been suspended in an atmosphere of non-life: functional, yet dead—many of its games fleeing for the safety of a Steamworks alternative.
Lending credence to its demise was Microsoft's
The list of Games for Windows Live games grows ever-smaller, which is a good thing, as—if their brief (and subsequently deleted) support update last year was correct—it'll be closing in July. Capcom had previously revealed plans to transition Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, and, for the preposterously initialled SSFIVAE at least, have now announced when that switch
Few people were happy when it was announced that Dark Souls would call Games For Windows Live home. Now that the service is scheduled to discontinue in July it's both a) vindicating and b) stressful, because what happens to Dark Souls now?
Games for Windows Live is dying, and few tears will be shed for its demise. But concern remains for what will happen to the GFWL titles that haven't shed it like a pustulent pimple by the July 1st death-day. Epic and People Can Fly's score-'em-up Bulletstorm is seemingly the latest victim in the service's final thrashings, as it's been removed from Steam (although is still available on Origin)
My favourite thing about the big Games for Windows Live shutdown is that it was never officially confirmed. While originally announced via a message on the Age of Empires Online support page, that update was quickly removed. Since then, the Age of Empires Online support page has also been removed, as part of Microsoft's apparent attempt to hide all evidence that PC gaming even exists. As far as I
Microsoft's often troubled relationship with PC gaming took a positive step in our eyes when the company hired Jason Holtman, previously the head of Steam at Valve, last summer. Now it looks like the gain was short-lived as it emerges that Holtman has left Microsoft after only six months.
Tom's quest to become the biggest, baddest god in the Dominions 4 universe starts here.
RIP Games for Windows Live, we hardly knew ye. On second thoughts, we knew ye pretty well, and we hated your malodorous guts - good riddance. Of course, with Microsoft's hated games service going the way of the passenger pigeon (I was going to say dodo, but a load of animals have sadly been made extinct since then), there's the little matter of what's going to happen to all the games infested
Like an unpopular and neglected combination of game client, social platform and DRM system, Games for Windows Live is fast approaching its ultimate shutdown. Oh, hold on, that wasn't a clever analogy. That's what Games for Windows Live is. In preparation for its sort-of announced shutdown, a variety of games have been looking at ways to hack off the dying flesh, in the hope that such

Looking for a document management system? This article contains everything you need to know about how to choose one. If you're in a hurry, just scroll down to see our best picks and staff reviews. You can also see a full list of document management vendors and a breakdown of how we chose our best picks here.
Ready to choose a document management system? Here's a breakdown of our complete coverage:
- Roundup: The Best Document Management Systems
- REVIEW: Best for Small Businesses
- REVIEW: Best for Businesses on a Budget
- REVIEW: Best for Businesses Using Windows
- REVIEW: Best for Businesses Using Macs
- REVIEW: Best for Businesses With Remote Workers
With an eye on becoming more organized and efficient, many small businesses are adopting a paperless office environment.
Assisting in this challenge are document management systems, which allow you to easily sort, edit and distribute documents to others. These systems help businesses increase productivity, save time, operate in multiple locations, support remote workers, meet compliance requirements, reclaim office space and solve a wide range of business problems.
Using document management solutions is a great way to organize all of your paper and digital files in a central location, where everyone in the office has access, said Jeff Pickard, CEO of Lucion Technologies.
"It's a challenge for companies to keep up with all the paperwork and electronic files that come into a home office or business every day," Pickard told Business News Daily. "It generally starts slowly — an email here, a receipt there, incoming invoices and customer correspondence. And before you know it, you've got a mountain of paper and no way to find the documents you need."
Document management systems give you a framework for organizing all of those papers. These systems work in tandem with scanners, which convert your paper documents into digital versions.
When looking into document management, you will encounter several types of tools: document management systems, document management software and document management solutions. In reality, however, they all accomplish the same tasks. Mary Williams, marketing communications director for DocuWare, said the differences are a matter of semantics, and many industry terms are interchangeable.
However, a document management system is different from online storage, which simply provides a place for you to store a variety of documents. Document management systems do much more. They're essentially electronic libraries that can be easily searched, shared and managed. Some of the specific functions you can use document management systems for include:
- Storing various document types, including word-processing files, emails, PDFs and spreadsheets
- Creating new files directly within the system that can be edited and shared with others
- Searching an entire library of files by individual keyword
- Sharing documents with co-workers, departments and clients
- Restricting access to certain documents
- Monitoring who is viewing documents and when
- Tracking edits being made to documents
- Retrieving previous versions of edited documents
- Controlling and regulating when out-of-date documents can be deleted
- Accessing, editing and sharing documents via mobile devices
When using document management systems, you have the option of installing and running them on your own computer or network or accessing them via the cloud. Many providers of both options offer various versions of their software, which vary by storage space and features.
Costs for document management systems vary greatly. On-premise systems typically require higher upfront costs, including a one-time fee for the software based on the number of computers it's being installed on. Cloud-based versions typically charge monthly fees based on the number of users. These can typically range anywhere from $10 to $100 per user, per month.
Additionally, many on-premise and cloud-based options charge initial setup fees. This can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the number of users.
Is a document management system right for your business?
Since keeping things organized is critical for success, there are few businesses — regardless of size — that couldn't benefit from a document management system. Any business that handles forms, correspondence, emails, files, printouts, personnel or client files, charts, data, or any other type of paper or electronic document can use this type of solution to become more efficient, Pickard said.
Compared to those that still rely on paper files and folders, small businesses with an overarching system in place to handle all their information operate at a vastly superior level of productivity, said Greg Milliken, vice president of marketing for document management software provider M-Files Corp.
Editor's Note: Looking for a document management system for your business? If you're looking for information to help you choose the one that's right for you, use the questionnaire below to have our sister site, BuyerZone, provide you with information from a variety of vendors for free:
Even small companies that have most of their documents in digital form, but in a traditional folder structure, suffer many of the same drags on productivity as do businesses with paper-filing systems. That's because these companies constantly waste time looking in several locations for misplaced documents, Milliken said. This problem is often compounded by the creation of multiple versions of the same file, which results in errors and repeated work.
"Without a document management framework, small businesses find it very difficult to enforce reliable file organization and optimize their internal processes," Milliken said.
"An investment in a good small business document-management strategy has a meaningful impact on the ability of a small business to prosper," added Jeff Segarra, senior director of imaging product management for Nuance.
What to look for in a document management system
With so many document management solutions available, it can be tough to know exactly which one is right for your business. Jim True, vice president of product management at document management provider Cabinet, recommended searching for the following functions and features in a small business solution:
- Filing structure: A document management solution that mimics a physical filing structure — including cabinets, folders and tabs — makes transitioning to paperless operations much easier and more intuitive. It also improves filing consistency and gives businesses the ability to easily apply access rights to certain documents.
- Collaboration: The system you choose should facilitate teamwork through the easy sharing of documents. Users should be able access and share documents from the office or while on the road.
- Cloud based: For companies with remote employees or offices in several locations, a cloud-based product unifies workers across one platform, allowing everyone to act as effectively as if the company were operating in just one location.
- Compliance: Regulated industries must remain compliant. Enforcement of document-retention policy, audit tracking, and reporting and user-access controls are the primary tools a document management system needs to help businesses achieve compliance with regulations and internal policies.
- Disaster recovery: The system needs to back up data at a remote facility to ensure it's protected from a disaster. Without this feature, fully recovering from catastrophic events, such as floods or fires, is nearly impossible.
- Custom user configurations: The document management system should accommodate your preferences, not the other way around. Creating a comfortable user experience that delivers the information in a custom view will drastically improve how efficiently the document management system performs.
There are a few other things businesses should search for in a document management system, Pickard said. One of the most important features is the system's scanning capability, which should be easy to use before and after the scan.
"Now, scanning takes just seconds, and if you get the right technology package, you can automatically create editable, keyword-searchable files in a universal format like PDF while you scan," he said. "A good scanning solution even makes bulk scanning easy, recognizing where separate documents begin and end in a stack and sending them to the right folder like a virtual file clerk."
The system should also be easy to search. Pickard said some document management systems look so complex that you need a database expert to help you locate the files you need.
"If you find a solution with integrated search features, you can simply conduct a keyword search to pull up documents in seconds [and receive] a preview to make sure you've got the right file before opening it," Pickard said.
Finally, look for a system that enables editing.
"It's handy to be able to make changes to electronic documents on the fly and transform printed pages into editable electronic files," Pickard said. "The right document management system makes these tasks quick and easy."
Thomas Schneck, president of DocuWare Group, advised those interested in document management systems to ask several critical questions before buying a solution, including:
- How many users does the system have? A large installed base generally indicates that the document management system is mature technology that's well established. This shows that the vendor has a strong interest in maintaining the solution's stability and quality, and has maintenance agreements and other arrangements in place to finance ongoing development to ensure it won't become obsolete in the near future.
- Does it have future-proof architecture? To get a long useful life from your document management solution, it needs to have future-proof architecture, such as mobile apps and a modern Web browser.
- Does it integratewith your other software? Being able to integrate with all of your solutions, such as email and CRM systems, that bring in or generate documents is critical.
- Is it scalable? You might only have five employees when you start using a document management solution, but what happens when your company grows? You don't want to have to change your system every time your business expands, so make sure the one you choose can easily scale to fit your business needs.
Benefits of a document management system
Besides keeping your business organized, there is a wide range of benefits to using document management systems. From always having access to your files regardless of where you are, to being able to search through thousands of different documents in an instant, the small businesses we spoke with reported a number of advantages to using these systems. Here are some of the largest plusses they pointed to:
- Always accessible: As someone who often works outside the office, Sara Sutton Fell, CEO and founder of FlexJobs, said storing all of her files digitally provides a key benefit: She can get her important documents from anywhere. Whether going to an out-of-state conference for several days or a local coffee shop to work for an afternoon, using a document management system ensures she still has access to all of her files.
- Easy access: One of the biggest plusses of a document management solution is that it gives employees quick access to their files. John Bustrum, CEO and founder of My403bCoach.com, said having such software in place means he's no longer forced to stockpile loads of files on his desk. Instead, when clients call, he can instantly find the documents he needs on his computer.
- Easy to search: Being able to easily search through her company's documents is a huge benefit, said Karen Walker, founder of ONETEAM Consulting. She said her consulting projects generate a large amount of information over the course of several years, and the ability to quickly search for and retrieve presentations and notes is invaluable.
- Better collaboration: Getting rid of hard copies of documents makes it easy for employees to work with each other, said Gary Tuch, founder of the Professor Egghead Science Academy. When multiple employees are working off of one document and editing is constantly happening, document management systems ensure workers always have the most up-to-date copy. Employees waste no time on printing revisions or double-checking to make sure they have the current version.
- Added security: Increased security is a huge advantage of using document management solutions, said Andrew Southard, general manager of the Indiana-based Data Management Shredding, Inc. The technology has given his company the option to track who is viewing and editing each document, and designate which employees have access to which files. Being able to provide proof to customers or auditors of a file's chain of custody, from cradle to grave, is essential in today's business environment, Southard said.
- Saves space: Exchanging paper documents for digital versions can save a tremendous amount of physical space in your office, said Randy Jourgensen, owner of Digital Office Solutions. Since transforming the company's office to a paperless environment more than 15 years ago, he has been able to convert space that was formerly only used for file storage into space that can now generate revenue.
- Disaster recovery: Small businesses that have all customer records stored in half a dozen filing cabinets face the risk that these files might be destroyed, or that the business may lose access to the documents, should a disaster occur, said Alan Baker, president and chief consultant at Spitfire Innovations. If a water pipe bursts or there is a fire, business owners can rest assured that they can still operate with little impact, since their critical documents are stored online and spared from any destruction.

Nick Clegg, educated at Westminster and Cambridge, knows that fixing university admissions won't make up for bad schools
And yet that's what he's suggesting in his speech on social mobility today.
His main recommendation is for "universities to recruit on the basis of objective potential, on the basis of an ability to excel, not purely on previous attainment".
He neglects to tell us how you judge "an ability to excel" through anything other than exams, interviews or tests; all of which, the moment they're finished, turn into that most wicked of things, "previous attainment".
This isn't just patronising positive discrimination. It's also sticking plaster politics – let's not deal with the sub-standard schools that produce badly-educated children, goes the argument; instead, let's fix university admissions, so that badly-taught children can get into good universities.
The problem is the sticking plaster is extremely flimsy. To expect three or four years of university to make up for 13 years of bad schooling is hopelessly optimistic. Like Nick Clegg, I went to Westminster and Oxbridge – and, like him, I know that the lion's share of my education was done at school.
Life at Oxford was extremely cushy – with one, sometimes two, tutorials a week, for 24 weeks, for three years (or four in my case). You can get a good Oxford degree with as little as 72 hours' tuition in your whole time there.
Now compare that with life at Westminster – with rigorous academic lessons, religious services and obligatory sport from 9am till 4.10pm every day, for five and a half days a week, 40 weeks a year, for five years.
That's 8,000 hours; throw in similar cramming at an elite prep school, like Nick Clegg's – elite Caldicott School, in Buckinghamshire - for another eight years before that.
And then, on top of that, add in the findings of Frank Field's study published earlier this month - middle-class children hear 33 million words by the time they start school, 23 million more than poorer children of the same age.
You soon begin to see how the yawning gulf between private and state education in this country can't be patched up by fudging university entrance schemes. The answer, instead, is to replicate as much as possible the high academic standards of private education.
Nick Clegg opened his speech by referring to the lack of social mobility revealed in 56 Up, currently on ITV. The series is based on the Jesuit maxim – "Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man." How much truer that is of an 18-year-old man – a bad education before that age won't be salvaged by desperately late, badly-thought-out social engineering.

I've been using cloth diapers for almost a year now...I was told by friends that Tide Original powder is okay to use. I'm second-guessing that now....
we have hard water so I've been using Calgon water softener with each wash
I've also tried using baking soda and vinegar to get rid of the urine smell that lingers on ALL of my inserts.
HELP....I've tried using Dawn to strip them and that seemed to work, they came out of the washer smelling better than they have in months. However, after they were used and washed the smell is back again?
I don't know what to do and we are expecting another little one in October...I don't want to go out and buy another 25 diapers and go thru the same thing.
ANY ADVICE/SUGGESTIONS/HELP are greatly appreciated.

Policing the Immigration Police: ICE Prosecutorial Discretion and the Fourth Amendment
By: Jason A. Cade
A persistent puzzle in immigration law is how the removal adjudication system should respond to the increasing prevalence of violations of noncitizens' constitutional rights by arresting officers. Scholarship in this area has focused on judicial suppression of unconstitutionally obtained evidence, typically by arguing that the Supreme Court should overrule its 1984 decision in INS v. Lopez-Mendoza not to enforce the exclusionary rule in civil immigration court. This Essay, in contrast, considers the role of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attorneys in upholding the Fourth Amendment, taking as a launching point the recent exercise of prosecutorial discretion by ICE attorneys in Charlotte, North Carolina, in cases arising from systemic unlawful policing.
Windsor, Federalism, and Family Equality
By: Courtney G. Joslin
On June 26, 2013, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in United States v. Windsor. In a 5-4 decision authored by Justice Kennedy, the Court held that section 3 of the Federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional. This Essay considers the extent to which the Court's decision in Windsor turns on any of federalism-based arguments.
Applying Miranda's Public Safety Exception to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev: Restricting Criminal Procedure Rights by Expanding Judicial Exceptions
By: Joanna Wright
While Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the only surviving suspect in the April 15, 2013, Boston Marathon Bombing, was unconscious in the hospital after his arrest, the media vigorously debated his constitutional rights, specifically whether or not the FBI should Mirandize him or if it should invoke the public safety exception (PSE) to Miranda. The original application of the PSE would not permit the admission of Tsarnaev's un-Mirandized testimony, but the expanded and evolved PSE that currently exists almost certainly can and will adapt to justify its admission. Using this situation as a backdrop, this Essay explores both the expansion of judicially created exceptions to criminal procedure rights and legislation eliminating criminal procedure rights for certain groups of people or for all people in certain situations.
The S&P Litigation and Access to Federal Court: A Case Study in the Limits of Our Removal Model
By: Gil Seinfeld
The S&P litigation raises challenging questions of jurisdictional policy, but the law as it stands simply fails to engage them. It relies instead on a pair of mechanical rules for sorting cases between the state and federal courts that have only an attenuated relationship to considerations of sound jurisdictional policy.
Just Enough
By: Lee Anne Fennell
Response to: Brian Angelo Lee, Just Undercompensation: The Idiosyncratic Premium in Eminent Domain, 113 Colum. L. Rev. 593 (2013).
Fair market value compensation is not full compensation. Lee's analysis does not undercut that basic fact, though it does helpfully push us to examine the nature and extent of the undercompensation a fair market value standard generates. Nonetheless, the constitutional standard for just compensation may well be "just enough."

It rained a lot while I was visiting Oslo last year but in between showers I did get some cool video footage which I've compiled into our latest Hostelworld.com video postcard.
This video, Oslo - a video postcard, includes some of the city's top attractions along with a selection of bars and restaurants. Lots of my favourite Oslo attractions are featured in the video, including the Munch Museum, the Viking Ship Museum, the Nobel Peace Center and Oslo's gorgeous Opera House.
Part of the video was filmed in the Grunerlokka area, which is only a short tram ride from the city centre. This was probably my favourite part of the city, as it's filled with cool bars and funky little restaurants, along with Sofienberg Park and plenty more.
If you want to have a look around the Norwegian capital, check out our video postcard for Oslo here.

Brotherton, James C. 80 May 06, 1931 May 10, 2011 After celebrating his 80th birthday just last week, James "Jim" Carl Brotherton passed away May 10, 2011, in Vancouver. Born in Hood River, Jim lived in Battle Ground, Wash., for the last 38 years. He served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. A computer pioneer, he was involved in many aspects of the computer industry, retiring at Wagner Mining Co. He had an avid interest in the world around him. As a younger man, Jim's interests led him anywhere from race car driving towards his main interest of growing and hybridizing rhododendrons and orchids. He had a particular fascination with genetics, which led him to raise and breed many varieties of birds, fish and plants. Other interests included a love for music and a great voice, rock and gem collecting and spending time with his family. Always an intellectual, he never stopped reading informational text, constantly researching today's medicine and medical research, latest technology and genetic breakthroughs. He was a self-motivated lifelong learner. Jim is survived by his loving and caring wife of 45 years, Jean; sister, Bette; son and daughter-in-law, James Jr. and Sylvia; sons, Rick, Scott, Kirk and Michael; daughter and son-in-law, Karen and Troy Morningstar; 13 grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. His family misses him dearly. He was preceded in death by his sister, Jeanne, in 2007 and brother, Robert, in 2010. A memorial service will take place at 1 p.m. Thursday, May 19, 2011, in the Meadow at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden in Portland. Interment will be at Crawford Cemetery in Battle Ground.

Halstead Essex
- This hotel suffered in a similar manner to that which we stayed in in Dover earlier in the year. Our first experience was very disappointing as the evening meal was a complete disaster. The Dover hotel had a function on the particular evening we stayed and the whole complement of staff were engaged in the function room leaving the overnighters hanging around with no service. Similarly in Doncaster all the staff treated/served the a coach party before the independent guests.
The quality of staff was in both cases were of high quality but were obviously stressed because extra staff had not been brought in to supplement the regulars when large numbers of guests were in attendance.
Will check if large parties are being catered for before booking again.

Phoenix Fire by OstriaWatch
©2012-2016 Ostria
So this is the first render I've done in a while without using a tutorial...was 3 layers i believe, but while doing this i have found out some things about Ultra fractal I didn't notice/realize while doing tutorials :3.
So retro it's hypnotising o.o
Wonderful colors
Hm...seems like alot of people feel this way...should have named it Acid Trip XD
Whoa.... This is what happens to me when I listen to Pink Floyd late at night.
:3 glad you like it :3
How long did it take!
Not long really, maybe ~20-30 minutes (I raged and got confused most of the time XD). The rendering part doesn't take that long on UF, this probably would have taken a few hours to render on Apophysis. I'm still sadly a novice at this program, I'm sure the pros take a few hours/days to do theirs, lol.
Wow 0_0 I can see how you could get confused XD
Well, i mean this is the first time i used UF without a tutorial at all to find out what it may/may not look like, after deleting and adding layers, trying to go into the properties, messing with the gradiants, i came out with this :3.

Poets of la Guerre; Pour la Patrie: French Poets Jean Cocteau (Inset Right) and Blaise Cendrars (Far Right) Survived World War I
Byline: Charles Legge
QUESTION Did France have any war poets of the calibre of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon?
AT LEAST 43 recognised French poets and authors served in the French army in World War I, one of the most famous being Jean Cocteau (1889-1963), who served at the front in 1914 in the volunteer ambulance corps.
Pierre Drieu La Rochelle (1893- 1945) was a poet, novelist and essayist, decorated for leading a bayonet charge at Charleroi, Belgium, in August 1914. He published his war experiences in a slim volume of poems entitled Interrogation in 1917.
Wilhelm de Kostrowitzky (who used the pseudonym Guillaume Apollinaire) was born in Rome on August 25, 1880, and served as a volunteer in the French army in 1915, first in the artillery and later, as a lieutenant, in the infantry.
He was wounded in the trenches, awarded the croix de guerre and invalided out of the army. Influenza and war wounds led to his death just before the Armistice. His war poetry was published in a volume entitled Calligrammes in 1918.
Frederic Sauser, better known as Blaise Cendrars (1887-1961), was an influential writer in poetry's modernist movement.
He signed up with the Foreign Legion on July 29, 1914, and saw active service on the Somme, at Frise in Grenouillere and the Bois de la Vache. In one of the bloody battles in Champagne in 1915, Blaise lost his right arm on September 28 and was invalided out of the army.
He wrote of his experiences on the Western Front in La Main Coupee (The Severed Hand) and J'ai Tue (I Have Killed).
In J'ai Tue, he wrote: 'We were holding our position which was separated from the German position only by a few sandbags. It would easily have been possible to impale oneself from our trench on a bayonet in the other trench.'
Steve Smith, Guild of Battlefield Guides, Worstead, Norfolk.
QUESTION Apart from Paula Radcliffe, who is the greatest athlete never to have won an Olympic medal?
TO MY mind this was the great Cuban boxer Angel Espinosa.
Despite standing at just 5ft 3in, Espinosa was lightning quick and had a ferocious punch.
He went on to dominate the Eighties at junior-middleweight and middleweight, capturing the 1986 World Amateur Boxing Championships.
Sadly, he never won an Olympic medal due to Cuba's boycott of the 1984 and 1988 Olympics.
To add insult to injury, in 1988 Henry Maske of Germany won gold having been beaten by Espinosa on their three previous meetings.
When he finally appeared at the Olympics in 1992 he was well past his prime. He was beaten by a Polish boxer, Wojciech Bartnik, in the lightheavy division, who he would have destroyed four years earlier.
G. Taylor, Cardiff.
U.S. ATHLETE Steve Scott was one of the greatest milers of all time. He held the U.S. mile record, of 3min 47.69sec, for 25 years until it was broken last year.
He also had the distinction of having run more recorded sub fourminute miles 136 than any man in history. When Sebastian Coe set a mile record of 3min 48.95sec in Oslo on July 17, 1979, Scott finished second with a time of 3min 51.11sec.
Scott won the 1,500 metres at the 1980 U.S. Olympic trials, but did not compete at the Moscow Games due to the U.S. boycott. He would have been the main threat to Coe and Steve Ovett there.
His greatest success came at the inaugural World Athletics Championships in Helsinki, Finland, in 1983, when he won a silver medal behind Steve Cram in the 1,500 metres. At the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles and the 1988 Games in Seoul, he finished 10th and 5th respectively in the 1,500 metres.
Another candidate is Steve Prefontaine, the man who helped inspire a running boom in the Seventies. Known for leading from the front, he fell tantalisingly short of a medal at the 1972 Munich Games in the 5,000 metres, where he was leading with just a lap to go but finished fourth. …

The Jewish Community Center of Syracuse will be hosting a preview of Syracuse Opera "La Boheme" at 7 p.m. Tuesday Oct. 6 in the Anne and Hy Miller Family Auditorium. The performance is free and open to the general public.
We hope that this is the first of many collaborations with Syracuse Opera and we are thrilled to be able to host this preview, said Julie Fleck, director of adult programming. Any time we can offer high quality programming and open it up to the general public, it helps us achieve our mission of serving and enriching the lives of those in our community.
Syracuse Opera Director of Music Douglas Kinney Frost, who will offer an overview of the opera, will host the preview. He will be joined by artists from the main stage production as well as a debut performance from the inaugural Syracuse Opera Children's Chorus both of which will perform musical numbers from the upcoming production.
Those attending will have the opportunity to sign up to be a part of the Jewish Community Center's group that will be attending the mainstage production of Syracuse Opera "La Boheme" at 2 p.m. Sunday Oct. 25 at the Civic Center.
One of the most performed operatic works of all time, Puccini "La Boheme" follows the lives of two sets of lovers XRodolfo and Mimi, Marcello and Musetta. Set in the run-down garrets of Paris in the 1830s, the opera follows the young Bohemians as they struggle with their daily finances and relationships, and as they strive to be free and independent, resisting the tight confines of authority.

Thread: Do cheating husbands come back??
Do cheating husbands come back??
Hi All
I know that when many of you read this you will automatically want to say things like once a cheater always a cheater, they never change, you're worth more, why would you want him back and various things along those lines - trust me I have already thought and said all those things to myself too, but the simple fact is that at the end of the day I still love my husband, miss my best friend and want him to come home, we'd been together six years..
The short version is this, three months ago I found out that my OH was cheating with a woman from work, even though he lied and said he wasn't. He moved into his mum and dads, two weeks later the OW (and him too) came up with a pack of lies and his parents took her in too (even though they didn't know her) so they have been living at his parents house (a whole different level of betrayal as they want to visit me and say I'm still the one that's family!!). She is married with three kids, all under 10, who she has left with their dad. Luckily we rented so no problems with the house etc but he has stopped paying all his bills, credit cards etc and I have people contacting me chasing him for money, they are both up to their eyes in debt, she has fraudulently obtained loans and various other things (I know as her husband told me), I am assuming this is because they want money for a house which they also need to furnish. She only works part time, has to pay maintenance and her debts so obviously all the financial burden of a is now on his shoulders (something he has never dealt with before as I paid all the household bills and rent etc).
In all honesty we were just in a bit of a rut which could easily have been solved with a conversation but his excuse was that if you have to work on things then it obviously wasn't right in the first place!! He said that we never went anywhere and just 'monged' out in front of the telly. It's all just excuses and rubbish really and we were happy as a rule. The lies and behaviour have naturally been awful, massive and hurtful and he would easily have seen me with nothing just to sort himself out!!! Don't get me wrong, I've not put my life on hold, I've done the makeover bit, reclaimed my home, sorted myself financially, am not ringing and contacting him unless completely necessary (although I did text and say happy new year) and feel pretty good about myself but I miss him and want back the man I married and my best friend. I guess what I'm asking is what other people out there's thoughts are? I just want him to turn up on my doorstep begging forgiveness, wanting me to give him another chance and wanting to make things right with me, even if I don't know what I'd do, I just want him to come home and no matter how I try I feel like I'm still broken inside... Does anyone out there think there is a chance of this happening, do cheating husbands try to come back, does he have to get a house with her to realise how good he had it with me do you think or have I just wasted the last six years of my life??? - I know I sound pathetic and desperate but truly I'm a strong person who never thought I'd ever want a cheater back but I can't help it, I do... Please help...
I wouldn't say you'd wasted six years of your life because those years were great and lessons have been learnt.
I only know of one man who left his wife of ten years for a another woman he worked with. Six months later he left the other women and returned back to his previous family. The issue with him returning was he returned for his kids and not his wife meaning he still cheats.
Im sure there are some men who come back and some who don't after leaving but the question is are you really going to wait for something that may never happen?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Netmums mobile app
I think you might get what you want (your dh coming back), but in reality you wont want what you get. While you are apart these feelings of loving and missing him get so strong, that while you see the downsides to taking back a cheater, you want to ignore them. Once he was back & you were living in a situation of never knowing if it would happen again, is he lying about things again etc, think you would start to resent him for breaking the trust you used to have in him & your marriage.
I'm really sorry but the man you married is no longer the man you loved and he's with the OW who sounds awful.
He wouldn't come back and be the same and it would take a massive leap of faith for you to trust him, for him to be open to change, to have no secrets and work hard every day at your relationship. Do you really want to go through that?
Think about what you want fro. The next relationship and when you meet someone new you'll be glad he walked because that person will be what you deserve, not someone who cheats.

Thank you all for replying, it's really comforting to feel like people care and that I'm not alone.
You are all right when you say that he has broken the trust and that it would take a massive leap of faith on my part and lots of hard work from both of us to make it work and if I'm honest I'm not even sure if he has that level of 'gumption' and courage about him to try as a previous ex cheated on me too and he knows how I feel about it and more than that, like you say I don't know how I would feel about the trust issues but one thing I do know is that I would dearly like it to be my choice whether to take him back or not and I still believe in the good in him after all is said and done.. That and the fact that I miss him like crazy and it breaks my heart to think of him with her....
Just a bit of an update on the above really - I had a visit from my OH sister yesterday, she says that he is looking absolutely terrible, mind you his mum also came over and told me that too, is still loosing weight like mad, looks tired and stressed. Even his mum and dad are arguing with him now which is a total first as he is the blue eyed boy to them! Apparently his parents house is piled high with things for this new house, all of which he is having to buy which is crazy as he's not paying his current debts at all, he even asked his sister (who is unemployed and on benefits) if she had an Argos store card so that he could get a dining table and chairs on the never never.. This is before he even has to attempt paying the normal household bills which we all know are a killer.. Can he really be happy with all this financial stress on top of everything else, is there a chance he could start thinking about how good things were with us and want to come home or does he really need to hit rock bottom first???
I think you should focus on yourself and your new life and not ponder the what if's.
My D doesn't think my ex is really happy with the OW but things move on and you'll soon find you don't want him back if you get to the point of anger followed by acceptance in the grieving process. I'm sure this isn't what you want to hear and I know it's hard because I took my ex back once far too quickly and lived to regret it, so this is my experience.
Both these people have walked away from their responsibilities and are now racking up debt. If he did come back you would end up trying to clear up this mess and sort out his finances. You are not his mum!
Please take some more time to get over him and try to move forward rather than going back. I think you deserve better. You might be on your own for a while but some time in the future you will meet someone who really wants you and will make you happy. Going back is going to give you nothing but heartache, could you ever trust him again? Make the break, work on looking forward and leave them to sort out their own mess.
I hat to say it and I'm talking from experience, but the fact he has decided to live with this woman, it's very unlikely he will come back to you. He maybe stressed, tired, not eating etc, but that's all his own doing. When my ex husband left after denying an affair for 2/3mths he kept coming back on and off for the 1st few weeks and was looking very stressed and tired but he couldn't make that decision he needed to make. In the end I made it for him and got back on with my life. This is when all the messages from the ow and him started to turn nasty. Even now I wonder if I would've taken him back as at the time I was so desperate for him to realise what he was throwing away. In reality I would never have completed trusted him again and if we ever had an argument it would also be something I'd dwell on. I know how much it's hurting you right now, but you're doing the right thing, If he was honestly worth fighting for he'd have been begging you to forgive him and cut ties with the ow.
Would you really want him back if in his eyes he had it easy with you? With you paying for everything etc? Surely him missing his family should be the reason and not because he is struggling.
I honestly don't know about the whole once a cheat always a cheat... but from what you have written you sound so strong with how you have coped so far, I'd spend some time focusing on yourself, maybe take a little trip with a Friend?
As harsh as it sounds don't forget he betrayed you and did not work on the problems. If he came back could you really put it all behind you? Rebuilding your trust in him will not be easy. It can be done but take it slowly and don't let his family guilt trip you either.
Good luck with everything x hugs x

You said in your last post there about how could he be happy with the financial stress and could he realise how good he had it with me, which is totally true, it sounds like he did have it good with you financially, but would you want him back on that basis?
His financial status shouldn't be of an issue here and if he is struggling with money, then good. He deserves it and I'm glad you have come out the other side financially stable.
You need to be selfish now and think what you want out of all this. If he knocked on your door saying he has left her and can he move back in with a mountain of her debt, an affair and broken trust behind him, could you honestly work on that? Personally I couldn't. We're all different though, I don't think you have wasted 6 years like someone else said, you were happy and learned lessons, you are however wasting now lusting after a man that has really let you down.
You deserve so much better than that, there is someone else out there for you and whatever happens I hope you can find happiness, you sound like a really lovely sensitive person who's been hurt badly.
Please think about you in all this
I don't think once a cheater, always a cheater, but there are other reasons why I can't see a happy reunion here. He doesn't think that relationships require work - that's a big warning sign, it means he wouldn't be prepared to put in any effort to repair the damage that has been done. No conversation will fix that.
It sounds like a bit of a mid life crisis on his part. All a bit of a mess, not thought through, and who knows if it will last, but please don't sit waiting for him. He hasn't come back, and it is unlikely that he will.
Work on yourself for now. I know you miss him, but you deserve so much better.
I am living with my serial cheat husband he confessed all 5 (yes 5) affairs during our 13 yr relationship and feels now he is a changed man .... It's hell-it turns you in to a paranoid hysterical shell of the person you once were some people survive but do you really want that? I don't think I can do it any more xx
Thank you all so so much for your kind words and support, I can't tell you how much it means to me..
I know that you are all right when you say that I should focus on me, which believe me I am trying so hard to do, I've taken up photography and am getting out for long walks with the dog but I just can't seem to stop thinking about him and the whole situation and am finding it really hard to move on..
I know that you are all right with what you say in that there are the trust issues to overcome, his financial problems and all of those other things and to be honest I don't even know how I feel about all of that, I know that you are definitely right when you say that I'm not his mum and I've spent way too much time over the years looking after his every need, no more.. I know that I would be capable of trying to work it all out but he would have to, like you say, want to come back for the right reasons and be prepared to work just as hard if not harder than I would. To be honest though it has to be him that makes the move to want to try come back as there is no way that I'm chasing after him, I just wonder if he ever will try to do that???
Thank you all so much for your thoughts and comments, I can't tell you how comforting it is..
Thank you all so so much xx
You really shouldn't have a fear of being alone, in some ways it's quite liberating. I've always not minded my own company and I like being able to do what I want when I want, cook what I want and eat when I want, watch what I want on tv and trust me there's a lot less chores around the house with him gone
It doesn't however stop me missing him like mad and wanting my best friend and husband to come back, and I'm sure you would feel the same but I have to take comfort and advice from everyone's posts on here and try to focus on me, as should you.. I cannot honestly say if I would meet anyone else as let's face it given my new financial situation I may be able to comfortably make ends meet but there's certainly not enough in the pot for a social life and I may well end up alone if he never tries to come back but I'm not scared of it, I would just be sad about it and feel like it would be a waste given that I had and still have so much love to give..
Be strong and try to separate the emotional feelings and the facts into separate boxes in your mind and focus on one box at a time... Xxx
I would love to know how you are? I am going through exactly the same situation as yo

Hello Kirstie, welcome warmly to Netmums and thank you for posting here for the first time yesterday. I'm only sorry that you've come to our site due to such a difficult and stressful time you're having.. My name is Michelle, I'm one of the Parent Supporters here.
The thread you've posted on is quite a few months old now, so our members may not see your reply and offer their support. With this in mind, I have asked our moderators to create a thread of your own and hopefully others will soon come along and share their stories with you, I hope that's ok.
From the thread you've chosen to post on, I am assuming the situation you are referring to is that your partner has been unfaithful too? If I have that wrong, I do apologise. Would it help to talk with us a little more about your circumstances and how you're feeling Kirstie?
We are here for you
I am in exactly the same position. My husband has left after 21 years together and. 9 married. He has left me for someone he employed. I keep getting told not to put my life on hold and move forward but I really miss by husband and best friend and want him to want me back. Whether or not I could get past the lies and mistrust I don't know. Its a large part of my life just gone.

Hi Debra,
I'm Hannah one of the Parent Supporter Team. I'd like to welcome you to Netmums and say how sorry I am it's under such sad circumstances that we meet.
It sounds like you are getting good advice from those around you to take care of yourself and not to let life slip by. I understand it's so much easier said than done sometimes especially when there are still strong feelings of affection.
How long ago did you separate Debra? Do you have children? If so, are you feeling able to support them through this difficult time?
I'm sure there's a lot of support here for you Debra as there are many members who have been in your shoes. You have post on the end of an old thread so if you find you're not getting the support I know is here for you then do start your own thread.
Take care and do keep talking with us. We're here for you.

Loosing the "perfect" man and his children
Dear Grace
I too was left for another woman.
It's been almost five months and I am still devastated by all accounts.
We were together 6 years and always had a loving and caring relationship. Though for me it was not love at first sight. He had just gotten divorced and I was afraid that I was his rebound relationship. But he convinced me with such passion that I was the one. The love of his life.
For the same reason, however, I was hesitant to take in his two kids, age 5 and 9 at the time. But eventually off course I did, because I realised I had met true love, and it came with two wonderful kids.
Two years after we met he told me he didn't want more kids, which had been a dealbreaker for me, but standing in fromt of a guy who told me he loved me more than ever, against non-existing kids, I chose him. Was it easy? No never, but over the years I came to accept that I could be a pretty cool stepmom to his kids.
Cut to 6 years later. We are living together and it's been a bit of a rough ride for a while, due to a promotion he got that suddenly kept him more busy and preoccupied than ever before. But I supported him and never once thought we could not get through a rough period, because after all it wasn't about us, or so I thought. And we loved each other.
In December he had been in a bad mood for a few weeks, and I told him, rather jokingly, if the job was so bad that it was ruining our Christmas. He broke down and said he didn't things between us were not so good.
Completely dumbfounded I never saw that coming. I asked him several times if he was having an affair, but he denied. He said he never really thought I connected with his kids and it was hurting him. I was at a loss for words, because I thought I had a really good relationship with them, but that this past year he had been so preoccupied that he never noticed how close we had become. He was never aorund to see us.
Efter 5 hours of talking we ended up in eachother's arms crying and he told me that of course he loved me more than anything, that it would be us forever That he realised all the good I was doing for his kids and that he was sorry for doubting me. this was followed by a very intense month were we really reconnected and were intimate every single day (sorry to be so graphic). He told me he loved me all the time and I thought everything was good.
Until one day I received a text from a woman telling me that he has had an affair for the past three months, that he didn't love me anymore and I shouldn't forgive him. I confronted him and he admitted that it was true.
So our worlds came crashing in. I didn't understand what that last month was about? He said he really wanted our relationship to work, but he just didn't feel the love anymore. I believe he had tried to pull away from "her", and that is why she sent me that text.
I reached out my hand, offering my forgiveness, telling him we were so much better than this, begging him not to throw 6 loving years aways. But he couldn't take my hand. I have never seen a man cry that much but never the less him and his kids moved out shortly after.
Since then I have seen a therapist and I have had an amazing network of support and love around me. I have asked him a million questions, to which he has no answers to. I know he's sorry, he's apologized a thousand times, but he is still with her.
He told me he didn't want me to have any contact to his kids, because I was just being selfish.... He introduced his new woman to his entire Family just five weeks later. Now I hear he is telling people, the reeason we are not together is because I never connected with his kids, that I didn't love them. Of course to my face he tells me taht they love me and misses me.....?
I am sad beyond words and not only do I miss him, I miss the kids that everyday it tears me up. I have spoken to his daughter once, where she cried and told me how much she loves me and misses me, but after that I have not heard from her, even though I have sent her texts of encouragment. She does, however, still comments on most of my Instagram Pictures. I think, because her father is not on Instagram, that she feels safe to have little contact with me there. How sad.
I have not heard one word from anyone in his family, whom I thought I was really close to. It saddens me, not because I think they would stop loving their brother or son, but just a word of kindness would have been nice.
Everyone who knows him tells me he really is miserable. He even admitted that his new girl has no sense of humor, and if there was one thing the two of us were good at, it was laughing together. She is the type of woman he would have mocked before he got involved with her, and it is not the first relationship she has ruined. She has a webshop thats sells jewellery where she has actually used herself as a model lying in the nude with only jewellery on. He would have hated that before.
Our mutual friends can not even fathom what he is doing with her, but also says that he never says anything back to her. She has been very open about how she "won" him and how, going everyday to the restaurant where he is a manager, dressed more and more provocatively and everyday telling him that he was so cute and sexy.
Now I am not putting the blame on her, he always had a choice to say no. He didn't. But she sure as hell didn't make it easy.
They also tell me that he has changed to the point where they are not that interested in seeing him anymore.
Now I know they may not want to tell me the whole truth, because maybe he is just so damn happy, but still remorseful about how he, or indeed she, ended things, but what does it all help? He told me on several occasions that it was not love, and I think he is trying very hard to make this relationshp work, to somehow justify his actions, because it will be the failure of the year if this doesn't work out.
Yet here I am left to my own solitude, missing three people at once, and all I can think about is, where did it all go wrong...
How do I move on from this? I am now 43 years old, no children or stepchildren, and my life has become empty.
I do try to be grateful for all the people, who through all this, reached out their hand, and shared personal grief stories of their own. I am blessed with love, but the one love I crave more than anyting else is gone. I never thought he was perfect, mind you, but he was perfect for me.
What's a girl to do?
However these things happen, relationships end. Have you tried grief counselling? I did not want my ex back but had taken him back before so do understand the pain. I'm afraid that time and filling your life with activity and friends is the only cure for grief, if you see it as grief then you know that this will pass and you'll eventually be ok. I would cut all contact with your ex to help this process.

Dear Jill
I didn't really expect anyone to reply to this, so I am very grateful you did.
Yes I have cut all contact, haven't actually spoken to him in a couple of months, but then I ran into him in the street (he Works a block from where I live, where we used to live together).
I take different routes, but I know I cannot avoid meeting him eventually in the future, or gasp him and her!
I guess I know now, that when that day comes, I will just dissappear in to a hole for a moment, only to crawl back out, hopefully stronger than ever.
I have learned that I will not die, although panic atttacks have been frequent and it feels that way. I am seeing a crisis therapist and I am sure it is helping, but as she says, it's a long an Winding road....
He still couldn't look me in the eyes. Shame I guess. Serves him right!
I have also cut of contact with him on Facebook and although I know it's painful hearing any news about him, it like watching an accident on the road, you don't wanna look but you can't help yourself. I will try and keep this to a minimum though, because you are right, of course it only makes me feel worse. If that's even possible.
Everyday is a struggle, because I didn't stop loving him or his kids, but I hope eventually those feelings will minimize and I can again open my heart to someone.... just let me have a year or so without judging, because this is really the lowest point of my life.
I am so confused to how a person, whom I thoughtwas the most loving, generous and kind man can change that much.
Thank you again for replying, someone reaching out is another thing to be grateful for.
I also live with a serial cheat. Its never the same. Always at the back of yr mind, the lies, the betrayal. I now have to pay off the overdraft on our joint account because he spent it chasing them. So reality I am paying her and their bit of fun. Do you want to do the same. Its not just about lost trust but also loss of respect. Me and the kids have no holiday this year because of his debt. Please think hard if he ever decides to comes back. A best friend wouldn't do what he did. I hope it goes well for you.
Hi Grace, In short answer, yes they can and do come back. My OH left a few months ago, he had been seeing a woman at work for over a year. I was devastated, our child was ill and life was falling apart before my eyes. But I rallied myself around, put on my positive front and over time we gradually talked our way through it. I tried to understand what had happened... and in doing that, we both realised that it was a terrible mistake. He came home and things are really good again. I hope things work out for you xxx

Is a job in security the cure for job insecurity?
At various times in the past four years, many IT professionals have suffered from job insecurity. And as we turn the calendar to 2005, a long-term cure for such a problem might be a job in security.
Anything and everything related to high-tech security is a good place to be in the technology job market in 2005, according to experts. Jeff Markham, branch manager for Robert Half Technology's San Francisco office, said network security will be a crucial need for organizations in 2005.

I honestly dont wear this that much, but it is a stunning color! Sooo creamy and beautiful! I love pairing this with a brown eye shadow! A must have!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Very Dry, Fair-Medium, Neutral

Gorgeous color. As a wash it is a very sheer barely olive-tinged sparkly gold, with a heavier hand it is a deeper greener golden moss. I bought it to wear under Henna eyeshadow, which it goes beautifully with. However, despite it's pretty color this has the least staying power of any MAC paint pot that I have tried (and I have about 10 of them), and after 4 or 5 hrs it's all creased and oily looking, having also taken my eyeshadow with it. Granted, nothing stays on my lids for long, so if you don't usually have issues with eye makeup disappearing or creasing, this may not be an issue for you.
But if you do......
you have been warned :)

one of MAC's best paint pots.. at least for those with green, brown or hazel eyes. It just highlites all the amber/gold/green/orange in those eyes and makes you happy to smile with your eyes.
love it and will continue buying it if and when I can find it!

Very glad I got this at the CCO. A great green gold color. I love it by itself or under other green eyeshadows. One of my favorites now!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Green
This is a beautiful deep green with gold tones, very much a multi-hued shade. It works well alone or wonderfully as a base for a green or green and gold look. I tend to wear lots of greens/browns/golds so this is a must-have for me.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This is the most amazing green for your eyes. I use it on the outer parts of my eye and smudge it out to create a soft smokey effects and I adore it. This paint pot + Sumptuous Olive eyeshadow is amazing! This is also one of the creamier paint pots, IMO. I just love this product so much! <3
Age: 25-29

Beautiful color! Must have for anyone who loves green e/s.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Fine

Oh my God gorgeous. This paint pot is amazing - it has a great creamy consistency and is just a beautiful color. Its (obviously) great as a base for green looks, but its great on its own, especially with gold in the crease - I use Antiqued Gold pigment. I highly recommend it
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I bought this color because I wanted a nice base for my green smokey eye looks. In the container, and when swatched with my finger at the store, it looked like a pretty dark olivey green, but when I took it home and applied it to my eyes, it showed more gold than green. Its a pretty color, and it wore very well without any creasing all day long, but the shade just wasnt what I was looking for. Theres much too much gold in this, which isn't a bad thing, its just not what I was looking for.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Fine
Eyes: Green
I usually just put this on, some eyeliner and mascara and I am confident that my eyes look pretty for most of the day (I do get creasing with paint pots alone or with shadow). There isn't much color payoff and I didn't give it a higher rating simply because I don't reach for it often. I prefer neutral colors and purples for my eyes.
