Published: December 15, 1996
HERSHEL PARKER, A PROFESSOR OF English at the University of Delaware, is the dean of Melville scholars, legendary for his staggering precision and his devotion to his hero. For years, he has woken up in the middle of the night to put in extra hours deciphering the author's letters. For years, Melvilleans have anticipated his book ''Herman Melville: A Biography,'' which was published last month by the Johns Hopkins University Press.
I first met Parker in March, at a biographer's brunch at the Unterberg Poetry Center of the 92d Street Y. He is a tall, handsome man of 61, with a raw-boned face and a shock of white hair. He wore a sling on his right arm because of a rotator cuff injury -- like the object of his obsession, Parker is a high-strung man who experiences his stresses in physical ways.
His speech that Sunday in Manhattan was punctuated with anger. He lashed out at the journal American Literature for an issue it had done on the New Melville, an issue full of accusations that Melville scholars had hidden evidence that Melville was a misogynist, a scoundrel. Parker viewed the issue as a personal attack. ''They wanted to stop the biography because it's about a dead white male,'' he said. ''It was a pre-emptive strike to silence me before I come out with it, just because of the mere fact that I celebrate and magnify Melville and regard him as great. For that, obviously, I should be shot.''
Then, noting that his wife, in the front row, had urged him to be discreet, Parker moved on. He described a young Melville who was lusty and gregarious, an international ''sex symbol'' in the 1840's after the publication of ''Typee.'' The high point of the lecture would also be the high point of Parker's book: a largely imagined description of a sacred moment, a meeting that Parker discovered took place between Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1851.
The first volume of Parker's book is unquestionably the most searching biography ever written on Herman Melville. Its 941 pages take Melville to the age of 32, when he published ''Moby-Dick,'' and whatever splash the book makes in the wider world, it is momentous for a small but significant literary community: Melvilleans, the writer's devotees, a group that includes such diverse souls as Gov. William Weld of Massachusetts, the artist Maurice Sendak and Robert Squier, President Clinton's campaign media adviser.
''One falls in love with him, and I certainly have, completely, as most of the other Melville freaks have,'' says the playwright Tony Kushner. ''I used him unconsciously and consciously when I was writing the second part of 'Angels in America.' I said to myself, 'Herman would approve of this.' ''
We Melvilleans -- I'm one myself -- have had an important role in maintaining the writer's reputation. A hundred and five years ago, when he died on East 26th Street, Melville was all but unknown. Obituaries got his name wrong. But enthusiasts kept his works and name alive for decades before a cultist made him famous by launching a Melville revival in about 1920. Today, that cult is stronger than ever. Parker's book follows ''Melville,'' a well-received biography by Laurie Robertson-Lorant that came out last spring, and there is talk of making a movie of Melville's brilliantly twisted psychological novel ''Pierre,'' which in the 19th century earned the writer only abuse. Some say that a second Melville revival is upon us.
This isn't to say that things are hunky-dory in the Melvillage. Parker's biography is worshipful -- ''I'm making narrative of heroic art,'' he says. But it arrives in the midst of a war over Melville's image. Melvilleans have always sought answers to his difficult work in his life, and the new conflict might be boiled down to an awful question framed by a defiant young Melvillean in Ohio: Did Herman beat his wife, Elizabeth?
SUCH LITERARY SCANDAL IS HARDLY limited to Melville these days. After some 50 years of New Criticism and the Death of the Author, the author is raging back. Texts are not enough. We must penetrate the lives of their creators, and that can create problems. The publication of a book that questioned whether anti-Semitism devalues T. S. Eliot's poems (no, the writer concluded) made for wide controversy last spring. Less-publicized furors rage among followers of Jane Austen (do her letters to her sister Cassandra suggest that she was gay?) and Bertolt Brecht (did his lovers help write his plays and fail to get credit?). Lately, domestic cruelties have been the focus of a memoir about Philip Roth by his former wife Claire Bloom.
Melville is today the most studied American author, according to American Literature, and the circumstances of his tormented disappearance in the 1850's, when he gave up writing novels for a brief career as a lecturer, later to become a customs inspector on the New York docks amid questions about his sanity, are the source of unending mystery. Readers from Edmund Wilson to John Updike have puzzled the matter. Among Melvilleans, it is the stuff of obsession -- and quarrels. They argue about whether his work is ''womanless,'' misogynist or homosexual, and when the novels and poems fail to resolve the issue, they examine incidents in his life for guidance.

My Brother Sam Is Dead
by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier
My Brother Sam Is Dead Duty Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"God meant man to obey. He meant children to obey their fathers, he meant men to obey their kings." (1.46)
Mr. Beach, the Redding minister, is definitely on the Tory side. He thinks everyone should do their duty to their country, and that's that. Check out how Mr. Beach uses the same sentence structure to talk about obeying fathers and obeying kings. It's almost like fathers and kings are two different kinds of rulers.
Quote #2
I guess he was right, children are supposed to keep quiet and not say anything, even when they know the grownups are wrong, but sometimes it's hard. Sometimes I have trouble keeping quiet myself, although not near as much trouble as Sam. (1.51)
Tim knows that he has an obligation to listen to his parents. But what happens when that duty conflicts with the truth? Sam likes to speak his mind and point out when adults are wrong. Tim, on the other hand, tries to "keep quiet." We're thinking this might be something that changes about Tim as he grows up.
Quote #3
Mr. Beach made it the subject of his sermon. He really got wound up on it, too. He said that our first duty was to God but that our Lord Jesus Christ had said, "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's" and that meant we were supposed to be loyal Englishmen. He said that hot-tempered young men who listened not to the voices of their elders would bring a wrathy God down on their own heads. (2.19)
Mr. Beach has a lot to say about duty. For him, duty isn't just about obeying your parents or even being loyal to your country. Mr. Beach says duty is also about God. In fact, all this talk of a "wrathy God" has Tim nervous about Sam, since his idea of duty has nothing to do with being loyal to England.

I'm using Wave record functions to record from a microphone and all work
perfectly on evey computer I've tried (even been to conferences and demoed
on on a range of desktops) but I recently bought an IBM ThinkPad R40 and it
always messes up on the first attempt to record but after that it's all OK.
The record function records several sounds from the mic of fixed durations
(about 2 seconds each) but on the ThinkPad it just hangs for about 20 or 30
second on the first one then behaves as it should for the rest. It's like
the audio recording hardware isn't set up or is in sleep or something -
don't know - I put in some extra code just to see it the hardware is
responding before I record and it returns OK. Once the initial recording is
done it behaves perfectly unless I don't record for several minutes or until
I reboot. It's a real pain to attempt to debug as you're always rebooting.
Any help appreciated.

Correct. RFC 2578 Section 7.10 makes this quite explicit. In fact it seems to go further; if I correctly interpret the following, it is not not just registration but any assignment that it banned: (3) Otherwise, no other OBJECT IDENTIFIERs which are subordinate to the object may be assigned. > However, I'm not sure the rules are so clear cut in other cases.

I agree that this is strange, and if I saw it while reviewing a new MIB module I would politely suggest to the author that the OID assignments could be better organized. On the other hand, I can't find anything that says it's illegal, and as far as I can tell, it's actually harmless. > Seeing as how some compilers will complain and others will not, I am > leaning toward allowing such relationships and issuing compatibility and > BCP warnings if they are encountered, unless someone can point to > something I might have overlooked. That seems reasonable to me. I'd like to have warnings about such things. But it's also a good idea to also have a reliable way to turn the warning off. Not everyone appreciates such warnings, particularly for things that are not actually harmful, and sometimes one has to deal with existing MIB modules that don't conform to your (or my) concept of "well-organized". //cmh

Foundations Deepen Partnership to Advance an "Informed, Engaged" Duluth
Knight Foundation Commits Up to $1 Million to Community Foundation to Increase Local Impact
DULUTH – The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation announced today that it will invest up to $1 million in an endowed fund to foster an "informed, engaged" Duluth-Superior over the next seven years through the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation.
The effort is part of Knight Foundation's $70 million Community Foundation Initiative, an effort to deepen Knight Foundation's commitment to ensuring that communities are informed about and engaged in the issues and opportunities that face them.
"Information is an essential community need and community foundations were established to meet core needs," said Alberto Ibargüen, Knight Foundation's president and CEO. "They also only exist and thrive because of community engagement and contributions. That makes them ideal partners to help us understand and advance local community engagement, focused on ensuring that these communities have the information they need to manage their affairs in our democracy."
The new approach will modify how Knight Foundation works in Duluth and other Knight communities. Duluth-Superior area grant seekers will apply for funding through the Duluth-Superior Area Community Foundation. A new community foundation director in Knight's Miami headquarters will work with an advisory committee in Duluth to guide the community foundations on how to use the funds. Knight's overall contribution during this initiative will be up to $1 million, pooled in a permanent endowment fund. Grants made from the gains of this fund are intended to serve the Duluth-Superior Area indefinitely.
"We're pleased to make this grant announcement immediately prior to our annual celebration on May 26, where we will provide the new grant guidelines for the Knight Fund," said
Of the funding, Sampson said, "We are so grateful to the Knight Foundation for their significant and steadfast support of the Community Foundation. We are pleased to make these additional grant dollars available to nonprofit organizations interested in 'informed and engaged' communities."
Nonprofits seeking Knight funding should contact Katie Gellatly, community philanthropy officer, Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation, and ask about Knight Foundation's donor-advised fund.
"Our goal is to better coordinate and focus our initiatives in the communities where the Knight brothers owned newspapers, and use our resources in the most effective way possible," said Trabian Shorters, Knight Foundation's vice president for communities.
Community foundations make contributions to local groups from funds established by individuals, families, businesses and others to address needs in specific geographic areas. These organizations offer a national funder like Knight the benefit of their grassroots grasp of issues. The grants will help community foundations enlarge their donor-advised funds supporting the work of local nonprofits.
The initial Knight fund was established at the Community Foundation in 1993. From 2000 to 2007, Knight contributed a total of $69 million to create donor-advised funds at 25 community foundations. At $70 million, this new initiative doubles Knight's current investment in community foundations.

Research in the Mullen lab is aimed at understanding the origin and maintenance of diversity at all levels of biological organization. Within this broader context, we are particularly interested in the link between divergent natural and sexual selection of adaptive traits (e.g. - mimicry in butterflies) and the origins of barriers to gene exchange between closely-related populations (i.e. - speciation). Hybrid zones are ideal settings to address such questions because they present opportunities to study the effects of gene flow, selection, and recombination in nature and, thus, provide insights into the genetic, behavioral, and phenotypic changes that occur early in speciation.
Current research efforts in the lab are directed at characterizing the proximal genetic mechanisms underlying examples of mimetic wing pattern variation in butterflies within a comparative evolutionary framework. This work is part of an ongoing, NSF-funded, collaboration with Marcus Kronforst's lab at Chicago, that will identify the genes responsible for color pattern mimicry across Heliconius, Limenitis, and Papilio butterflies using a combination of fine mapping, BAC contig sequencing, SNP genotyping via deep resequencing natural populations.
*NSF Dimensions: The lab was recently awarded a new grant to examine the evolutionary mechanisms responsible for latitudinal gradients in species richness. For more information about this award, please visit my lab news page.

Barclays: Pressure Remains on Diamond's Pay
By Max Colchester and Giovanni Legorano
Barclays' Chief Executive Bob Diamond may well be pleased that the bank's investment banking division posted an improved performance. But is this enough to relieve the pressure ahead of Thursday's annual meeting?
When investors gather in London tomorrow, all eyes will be on whether shareholders say boo to Mr. Diamond's £15 million pay packet.
Shareholder advisory groups including the ABI and PIRC, have recommended that investors issue a protest vote even though Mr. Diamond has agreed to tie half of his long-term bonus award to the bank's future profitability.
On the surface the results seem to work in Mr. Diamond's favor. "One small step for Bob. One giant leap for mankind," wrote Ian Gordon at Investec. "Good job, Bob!"
But other analysts noted that the results were made to look good, with a number of charges, including payment protection insurance, excluded from the headline £2.45 billion underlying pre-tax profit figure.
"They [the results] were designed to relieve the pressure," said Shore Capital analyst Gary Greenwood.
With the dividend flat at 1p per share for the quarter and a £300 million increase in payment protection insurance provisions, Mr. Diamond is not off the hook.
Mr. Greenwood added:
"There is still going to be quite a bit of fuss. The PPI charge is embarrassing really."

text: DOWNTOWN CHRONICLES about the late Dorothy Dean, an Harvard-educated black woman who reigned over urban gay white culture in New York during the sixties. Dean graduated from Radcliffe, and then went to graduate school in fine arts at Harvard. At Harvard she became the patron of the Lavender Brotherhood, a loosely formed clique of mostly white wealthy gay men. She also became close friends with Arthur Loeb, born into one of the most politically and financially powerful German Jewish families in New York. She moved to New York in 1963 and began working at The New Yorker as the first female factchecker. She was fired by William Shawn, the editor, after about a year. Dean then held a number of other editorial positions, including one at Vogue and one at Huntington Hartford's short-lived magazine Show. Her last full-time editorial was at Essence, where she was fired. Dean was known in New York underground circles as a "fag hag," a woman who hung out with and advised gay men in New York society. She was known to be very quick-witted and venomous to her enemies. Her group of friends and acquaintances during the sixties and seventies included, in addition to Loeb, Andy Warhol, George W. S. Trow, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Robert Creeley. She drank very heavily and lost a number of friends after they quit drinking or joined A.A. and she continued. In the seventies she was allegedly involved in the "Bronfman kidnapping," where Sam Bronfman II, son of Edgar M. Bronfman, head of the billion-dollar Seagram company, was kidnapped and held for ransom. Later, many suspected that Sam had staged the kidnapping. Dean lost contact with many of the Brotherhood in the seventies, and spent most of her professional life producing the All-Lavender Cinema Courier, a newsletter on film. In 1976, she sued Knopf and won. The years of drinking took a toll, and she became an eccentric, moved to Colorado, and died in 1986.

Abstract—We present a technique for automatically determining certain pairs of qualitative simulation predictions to be mutually contradictory. This leads the simulator to produce more informative outputs, which results in improved performance in reasoning tasks like diagnosis, model revision, and deletion of spurious "timelines" containing the input state.

The Joe to host Big Ten hockey tourney
More exposure will draw players to college, Wings' Miller said
Thursday, 04.19.2012 / 2:00 PM ET / News
By Bill Roose - DetroitRedWings.com
|Michigan and Ohio State are just two of the Big Ten hockey programs that will begin battling for a conference championship in 2014. (Photo by Getty Images)
"If I went the junior route I'm not sure I would be here right now," the Red Wings forward said. "I think I needed a little bit more time to mature and the college route was the best for myself. Definitely have some great memories of playing in college and down here at Joe Louis."
The Big Ten Conference hopes to great more hockey memories when it embarks on its inaugural men's ice hockey season, which will conclude with a championship tournament.
On Thursday, the Big Ten announced that it will play its first championship in 2014 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn., and alternate the following three years between Joe Louis Arena.
St. Paul will also host the league championship in 2016, while Detroit will host the six-team tourney in 2015 and 2017.
"Those are two great arenas to play in," Miller said. "Michigan and Minnesota both have good fan bases with a lot of hockey knowledge, so I think it's two great places to be."
The tournament will include all six teams – Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Ohio State, Penn State and Wisconsin – in a single-elimination format. Thursday's quarterfinals will pit the No. 3 seed vs. the No. 6 seed and the No. 4 seed vs. the No. 5 seed.
The top two seeds will open tournament play in the Friday semifinals, with the top seed facing the No. 4 or 5 seed, and the No. 2 seed facing the No. 3 or 6 seed. The championship game will be held on Saturday.
The Red Wings currently have three former Big Ten players on the roster, including forwards Justin Abdelkader and Miller who were former Spartans standouts. Defenseman Brendan Smith was a stellar performer for the Badgers before the Wings signed the former first-rounder, though he was at Toronto St. Michael's when he was drafted in 2007.
"I think creating that league will be good for college hockey," said Miller, who was selected by Anaheim in the sixth-round of the 2003 draft. "I think more TV games and a little bit more exposure will be good for bringing players into college hockey instead of the junior route."
The Wings have drafted a total of 14 student-athletes from Big Ten schools, including MSU standout Joe Murphy, who was the first player selected in the 1986 NHL draft. The London, Ontario, native played 15 seasons and helped the Edmonton Oilers win the 1990 Stanley Cup.
Detroit also drafted Minnesota defenseman Reed Larson, who was a three-time All-Star for the Wings. An immensely popular sports figure in Detroit, Larson eventually played 13 seasons for six NHL clubs.
Defenseman John Taft, who played four seasons at Wisconsin, is the only other Big Ten alumnus drafted by the Wings to play in the NHL. The Minneapolis native was selected in the fifth-round in 1974 and played in 15 games with the Wings during the 1978-79 season.
NHL referee Wes McCauley, who played collegiately at MSU, was an eighth-round draft pick of the Wings in 1990. The Toronto native never played in the NHL. He worked Game 4 of the Philadelphia-Pittsburgh series on Wednesday night.

|About me
|Small dicks
|Real men
|Contact me
Seeing a smalldicks' little ridiculous model of a cock sometimes makes women feel like laughing, sometimes disappointed and annoyed and sometimes feeling like punishing it for being so unsatisfying and worthless. Ballbusting is mostly an entertainment and a way to show that SIZE MATTERS.
Click the pic to see her in action
|The Bossy Girls are ready to give smalldicks the ballbusting they deserve.
Below a site where women use their hands, feet, knees and whips to have fun with the little dicks
Poll: Ballbusting as a punishment for a small penis
Ladies, when you are about to ballbust a naked man, and observe he
has a small penis and/or tiny balls...
1. "I take particular notice of it, and preferably there are other Women present such that we can all laugh at him and humiliate him about his lack of manhood. He is then punished for his inadequacy by kicking him in his balls."
# of women responding: 139
% of total females responding: 59%
2. "I do not draw attention to his size or mention it."
# of women responding: 27
% of total females responding: 14%
3. "I take particular notice of it and incorporate my denigrating him into his ballbusting, punishing him for his lack of manhood." (this assumes she wants no other women to be part of it):
# of women responding: 52
% of total females responding: 27%
Total females responding to this ballbusting poll question = 192
The poll question also has a response for male recipients and was put there such that men do not skew the results by answering as a female.
In addition, a separate poll question was asked as to whether the women enjoyed laughing and smiling during ballbusting. 154 women responded to that poll question, of which approximate 90% responded in favor of "I enjoy laughter - it is like a "HAHA- We got you!!" and emphasized that Our fun is more important than his pain."
What I find interesting is that approximately 86% of all women interested in ballbusting men would prefer incorporating humiliation of their penis sizes into the ballbusting such that they could use his lack of manhood as a justification for kicking him in his balls. And further, the majority prefer other women present to see this as it further humiliates the man.

Read my poetry on a bi-weekly basis at Call and Post.
Contact Oneal Walters for your
Story Development needs.
Toronto born poet, Oneal Walters, attended York University majoring in film and minoring in poetry, during which he created and published Frozen Stare (2000, The Plowman). Between schooling came The Age Begins (2005, The Age Begins). Four years later he re-entered school to study marketing at Humber College. With his schooling complete Oneal was able to sit down and publish Frozen Stare: the Childhood of a Young Poet (2010, The Age Begins).
Since publishing that first book of poetry 11 years ago Oneal has been rising in the world of poets. His first book Frozen Stare gave him the confidence to enter and win the Sky Blue Waters Poetry Competition, Merit Award (2000, 2001) two years in a row and again in 2003. Oneal also received an honorary mention in the 2001 Plowman Monthly Poetry Contest. His hard work yet again paid off when he did an interview for CKRG 89.9FM Radio Glendon in 2003.
Oneal's second book; The Age Begins brought even more success. But his main success can be seen upon the launch of his most recent book. Frozen Stare: the Childhood of a Young Poet sparked more interviews, published poems and articles and online posts by other writers. Most notably, Oneal made the cover of FutuReale Magazine in 2010. He was the "First author/writer/poet on the cover of FutuReale Magazine EVER!" FutuReale also published his poem; The Only One, interviewed Oneal and published some of his articles. He was the Contributing Staff Poet from December 2010 to April 2011.
In Oneal's words; "I'm a creative person I like all forms of writing. I prefer writing poetry because it's an art form that allows me to express so much in a little bit of space."
We can all tell that Oneal Walters is a poet that will continue to create, inspire and rise, bringing poetry into the lime light and opening doors for other poets as he goes. If you would like to learn more about Oneal's publications, events and why he loves poetry keep reading.
Getting Personal with Oneal Walters
I'm a creative person I like all forms of writing. I prefer writing poetry because it's an art form that allows me to express so much in a little bit of space. I recall reading poetry by T.S Eliot that was three and more pages. There is a need to express oneself. I prefer to do it in a shorter way. Much like a tv commercial, I want to intro my purpose right away and hopefully this purpose can enrich your life. In grade 11, English class was when I performed my first poem. We were given the choice to present an original poem or to find one from a book. I wanted to write the poem but didn't like to do speeches. The poem had to be read or memorized in front of the class. I created a poem called, Good Bye, and the reaction to this poem gave birth to the poet that was within me. I would write on every topic. Poems I still have today but won't publish. At York University, I majored in films studies. Here my poetry changed. My love for watching the interaction and relationship of people became dominant in my poetry. This was the beginning of my evolution, most Canadian poets at the time were writing about landscapes. Since I focused on people I stood out. I became widely published in their student newspapers. York University had a positive effect on my writing. I bought books from Chapters. I borrowed books from the library. An amazing joy that I receive comes from my publication, OW News. Our goal has been to publish the most talented poets of North America. We have published the best around the world. I publish poetry because I'm a fan of beautiful poetry. Our publication has become a community for today's most gifted poets. We published poets from September 2009 to January 2012. After the reaction of the poem from high school, after being widely published among York University, there was yet another influence. Throughout my life women have talking about being abused and hurt in their relationships. As an author I wrote about this in my book, The Age Begins, for the purpose of providing a voice for the unheard. And in doing so many women responded. So as long as there is one girl abused or raped my poetry remains relevant. And I will be there to inspire her into freedom. And this year women poets are commenting on abused women.

CHAFFEE - The Charleston (1-2) baseball team picked up their first win of the season against the Chaffee Red Devils on Tuesday.
The Bluejays got seven innings and nine strikeouts from Travis McCann. He allowed five hits, a no-hitter through four innings, and walked two.
"The biggest thing I was excited about was we had an errorless baseball game," said Charleston head coach Chris Stanfield. "This has been a big problem for the first two games we have played, but the boys came around and pulled it together."
Charleston had a total of nine hits including Josh Marshall who led the way with two hits with 2-for-4 with a double. Rett Thompson was 1-for-3.
Charleston's Josh Marshall was 1-4 with two RBIs. Marcus Dixon was 1-2 and McCann and Steven Hicks were 1-2 with Hicks having three RBIs.
This brings the Bluejays to 1-0 in the Scott-Mississippi Conference with their next opponent being East Prairie tomorrow at 4 p.m.
"This is a game for bragging rights being we are the only two teams in Mississippi County, and will be nice to come away with a victory giving us a 2-0 record in the conference," Stanfield said.
EAST PRAIRIE - The East Prairie Eagles baseball team improved to 4-0 on the season with a 16-2, five-inning win against Meadow Heights on Tuesday in East Prairie.
East Prairie freshman Zach Secoy picked up the win in 3 2/3 innings.
"Zach is a young pitcher," said East Prairie head coach Jason Aycock. "He pitched a little bit in summer ball so we knew he had the potential to be a pitcher. He's not overpowering, but he's got movement and offspeed stuff. But he's got a lot to learn yet."
Ryan Adams struck out the only batter he faced.
Ben Walters struck out the side in his only inning pitched. He also went 2-for-2 with two RBIs.
Adams also collected two hits with two RBIs. Danny Bright went 2-2 with a two-run homer. Preston Shoemaker went 2-4 with an RBI and Hunter Jones was 1-3 with an RBI.
East Prairie host Bloomfield today at 4 p.m.

How does one cope with the fact that are going to married, spend the rest of their lives together? 6-8 months ago I was cool as a cucumber, now I realize Im about to get married to someone that gets on my nerves and cannot bare to be around for more than a few hours. I get married on Saturday January 5th, and now I feel nervous as hell. I went to 2 older siblings and went into greater detail on certain things I felt and worried me, their response was thats how they felt going into their first marriages. How soon will it be until I get my balls cut off and the decision making changes drastically? I use to see a buddy of mine that was so miserable after he got married and use to think he just didnt have a spine, no testicular fortitude to stand up to his wife. Will this to happen to me? I haz a sad.
That is some heavy **** man. I was really nervous when I got married, but not because I had cold feet. I was more nervous about the ceremony and actual wedding day than being married. That being said, I was 30 when I got married and had already been and living with my wife for 6 years and was really happy about our situation.
I have had one friend who had serious doubts before getting married. He thought it would all work itself out once they were actually married, but things only got worse. He told me afterwards that in his heart he knew he was making a mistake, but didn`t know how the hell to get out of it. He ended up separated after 6 months and divorced the next year.
What you are describing doesn`t really sound like cold feet to me. If you really can`t stand being around her, I can`t really see how things will get better. Hard to say though without having other information.
He almost never knows what the **** he's talking about it, which explains why his 'opinions' are always so ****ed up.
He's a 10 year old who memorizes information intended for intelligent adults. He doesn't understand what he knows.

I liked your Facebook photo for this drama Sh!t?
Fuk, how's the divorce laws in Texas? 50/50?
Think before you make a mistake.
if she already annoys the hell out of you, and you can't stand to be around her for more than a few hours, than you could be in trouble. The truth is that it probably won't get much better.
a few questions:
1. how old are you? 2. how long have you been with your girl?, 3. Why did you ask her to marry you?, 4. Do you plan on having kids and if so would it be soon?, 4. Can you get laid consistently if you broke up with her?
marriage isn't easy even if you find someone that you always want to be around, let alone someone who you can't stand for most of the time prior to being married. you will never lose the urge to bang every hot girl that you see, but if your in a traditional marriage you have to supress those instincts. I have spoken about the ups and downs of marriage a few times over here. Overall, I love my wife, but there are definitely many times when she drives me insane. we have had our share of blowout fights (unfortunately more blowouts than blowjobs lately) I have 2 young kids now who are 3 1/2 and 2 months, and that has both made marriage a lot harder but sometimes better (there is very little alone time since one of us is taking care of one of the kids pretty much from 6 AM until 11:30 PM) You get tired, and many little things end up driving you crazy about each other. on the other hand, for me, there is nothing better in the world than playing with my daughter (the older one), and I love to just look at the baby and hold him.
as far as having a life besides just your wife, I think you have to stand up pretty early and make it clear that while your wife is the most important person in your life, its healthy for both of you to get out and see your friends at times. you need alone time too. I don't go out a lot these days, but see my friends after work (working in NYC makes it easy to go out for happy hours),normally have 1 or 2 very drunken nights per year (which she hates), watch pretty much every UFC PPV either at a bar or with friends, etc...that has now become accepted. i also encourage her to go out with friends when she has the opportunity.

Our full-service site was sand and heavily wooded. This is a huge campground that seems to have a lot of seasonal campers. We were there a few days before they closed for the winter, so a lot of the amenities were closed down. The staff were friendly and helpful. - ShoreXplorers

Stayed for a weekend during off season as it was close to home and not full. Would not call it a "resort" type campground, as wife and I both said "rustic" in a good way as it reminded us of campgrounds growing up as kids. Owners and staff were friendly and helpful and helped get our cable working on a very rainy Sat. Sites seem about 50/50 seasonal/transient and are sand but have lots of privacy and space between the sites. The full hookups are on a loop at the back of the campground. We had no problem with our 38' MH getting in our site but others can be tight for that size rig. Main roads are asphalt gravel, others are sand. Walking our dogs around the campground the seasonal people there were all friendly and the bathrooms though didn't use them were clean. We will return - njdirt

This was our second time camping here and it was just as good as the first time. Site was level from side to side; a little downhill slope, but no problem fore and aft. Quiet time was enforced. - GlennNJ

This park is obviously aimed at family campers and has several kid oriented activities each day. The night we were here they had a "corn roast" and live entertainment in the pavilion. It is located in a sandy area and the roads are mostly just packed sand/dirt. Rain that night created some muddy walking, but with a sand base, quickly dried up. Felt more like a summer camp than an RV park, but good times for guests of all ages. - Dunwoodyradio

As others have said, the roads in are narrow and dusty, but it's New Jersey pine barrens, so no way to avoid. We were in a W/E site and the rate is a little high, but we were very close to our destination, so reasonable. We stayed for the long Labor Day weekend, and there were lots of activities all weekend long, however we did not participate due to other plans. The staff were very friendly, check in was quick. There are a lot of seasonal sites, but our loop was mostly transients, however all neighbors were friendly. A bonus is the dog park for those with canine companions.
We had great stay, and will definitely stay again. - htowners

Access road to park is sand, rough and tree lined with low hanging branches. Entrance onto park grounds is narrow. A guard shack straddles the entry; however, it is not manned. Big rigs need to park on the entry road once past the guard shack. The check in area is deep within the park. Would recommend walking in to register. Staff are friendly and helpful. Many activities for children and adults. The pool is large and well maintained. The water park is fun for kids. Sites are large pull through with full hookups. Roof mounted satellites may have sketchy reception due to many tall trees. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. Trash is picked up multiple times a day by maintenance staff. Would recommend for families and grandparents visiting the grand kids. - Zuzu

Celebrated Memorial Day Weekend at Sea Pirate with a group of other friends. Campground was very clean, the maintenance staff were noticeably always on patrol for litter and removal of trash. Store was large, and had a variety of items, didn't have a large selection of shirts especially larger sizes (never understood this since it is free advertising for their campgrounds). The grill/ice cream parlor was very pricey, and the young staff members were easily overwhelmed and could learn some customer service tips! The 500 section seemed to be the nicest part of the campground. The pool was very crowded, with many people holding seats with towels. Dog park was very nice, and they even provided toys for the dogs. - SJEAGLES609

Great RV park. Roomy, level sites with picnic table and fire ring. Hookups good. Nice dog park. For a refundable deposit they will loan you beach badges good for any of the town beaches on Long Beach Island. They have activities for kids. Lots of seasonal sites. Wi-Fi was not usable from our site. We recommend it. - DonnaZ2011

We arrived to find that there is no water available for RVs to take on board. The camp host was kind enough to call the neighboring group camp and make arrangements for us to get water for a small charge. We enjoyed seeing Sunset Volcano Monument (the visitor's center is across the street). Also close by is Wupatki National Monument which was very interesting to visit. The park itself is very nice. Enjoyed our visit. We stayed here with a Golden Access Pass. - hbcamper

This is a lovely Federal campground! Very clean with paved roads; spacious sites with a stone picnic table and fire pit. Shade trees throughout; we had site #33 (I think), which was a pull-through. We had plenty of room; perfect boondocking campground. You can ride your bike to Sunset Crater from the campground. The rate reflected didn't include any type of discount with the America the Beautiful Annual Pass (it wasn't accepted by the campground host); however, the Pass is good to enter Sunset Crater/Wupatki Monument. - 1racedame

Bass River State Forest, Tuckerton, NJ May 6, 2015 $25 plus a $5 transaction fee for being a walk in (required by Reserve America), 186 sites
This was our first time camping in a New Jersey State Forest and we really enjoyed camping here. The woman at the check in office was very nice and informative letting us drive around the two loops to pick out our site. There are two loops in this campground North and South with a beach, picnic area between them. We chose the South Loop because the lake trail was within walking distance and we could sit on the benches and enjoy the view and wildlife. There are no hookups here but there are bathhouses and water within the loops. There is a dump station and pets are allowed only in certain sites. This campground was developed by the CCC who built the roads, trails, bridle paths, ponds, towers, nature observatory, shelters, picnic areas, cabins and a 67 acre Lake Absegami. The State Forest encompasses more than 27,000 acres in the Pine Barrens. The Batona Trail a walking trail for over 50 miles goes this Forest. It is also part of the Pinelands Natural Reserve. The bathrooms are older but they do have showers. We would return here if near the area again but it was so peaceful because during the week at this time of year there were only about five sites taken. Weekends they are very busy Memorial Day through Labor Day. Enjoyable stay! - gsnakehill

I didn't have a high expectation but I was delighted to find a clean, efficient modern office with friendly staff. We camped in a perfectly level site pretty much by ourselves. Just us and the Whippoorwills. We camped in a spot near a water receptacle and I didn't have to worry about going anywhere to fill up. I was there for the Bassman Triathlon and checked out well beyond check out time with no hassle from the staff. I changed the listing above to reflect "big rig friendly". We are not a big rig but there were quite a few there. The roads, and sites were plenty big enough to accommodate the largest 5th wheel or motor home. - Mr October

This is a nice state forest campground in the Jersey woods. Quiet and well maintained. No hookups, but a dump station and potable water are available. Even though I only gave it a seven, that number is quite good for any park in NJ ( although if you were to read some of my earlier reviews, I was overly generous to some other NJ campgrounds). After spending way too much time in NJ commercial campgrounds, I would have to say that the state parks are the way to go and this one is pretty good. - monkeypants

We stayed at Thousand Trails / Chestnut Lake while visiting family in the area. The rate was free for 30A hookup for Thousand Trails members / family courtesy card holders. The sites with sewer hookups were pretty nearly full, not a lot of options on where to park. For our 43' motorhome, the sites were a bit tight, particularly getting in/out since the sites are perpendicular to the roads, and the roads are rather narrow - multiple forward/backward passes to park and to leave. There are many geese and when we first arrived, our site was covered with goose poop, but we cleaned it up (plastic gloves and WalMart bags) and didn't have any more geese visit our site during our stay.
Getting to the campground was interesting because there isn't an exit off of Garden State Parkway northbound, so we went past the street, made a u-turn at the next exit, and then exited via southbound Garden State. There was a sign at the turnoff onto the road where the campground is located that there is a 3 ton weight limit bridge ahead, but it is well past the entrance to the campground.
In 20/20 hindsight, it probably would have been better for us to occupy a water/electric site and use the dump station - those sites appear to be much less frequently in use and we would not have had as close neighbors. But, on the positive, we got to meet our neighbors and, as is common in Thousand Trails parks, they were very neighborly! - pattic777

Pool and rec room to equal a top dollar park. Old park. grass and weed spots, with a small amount of gravel woven in as pad. Some have concrete patios. Like a parking lot. Lack of angling the sites is an issue when it comes to feeling boxed in. Staff is very willing to help. Nice lake or pond depends on how you look at it. I would have given cleanliness a 10, except, although clean, the shower curtains had mold on them. There are Geese and you do have to dodge their poop a bit. Lots of very cute goslings. Its ok for a few days. Not all have sewer. - User3274

My wife & sister camped for the week end. The site was a pull through although it was easier to back out the way we came in to leave. This campground is 90% seasonal and as with others like this one the quiet times are a joke, both evening and moring. Fri night they quieted down because it started to rain at 2am! Next mornings the noise started an hour before the time posted. The other negative was when dumping my tanks when getting ready to leave the sewer was full and back up! Argh - GlennNJ

We spent 5 days here while we scouted the Jersey Shore, Atlantic City, and Camp May. We chose this campground because they are Passport America members and you can stay as long as you want at that rate. It's woodsy and not trimmed up: kind of au natural. Most of the campers here are summer getaways for city people. Only a few spots for travelers. Staff is very congenial. - Judy and Mel Elbers

This was a last minute reservation and the owner couldn't have been nicer. The park is made up of mostly seasonal campers but it was well maintained, quiet and friendly. Our site was part sandy-part gravel and was level. The only negatives were: sites were small but since we didn't have anyone next to us on one side, it wasn't a huge issue and the water was very hard. We had a water filter but towards the end of the trip I could smell the iron on my skin. A trip to the laundry room confirmed the high mineral content in the water as the washing machines were rust colored (we ended up not using them). Other than that we had a great time there as a base camp while visiting the shore sites. The owner and the seasonal campers were really really nice. I went to the store to see if I could buy a 1/2 gallon of milk. The owner was speaking with a seasonal guest and when he apologized for not having any in stock, the seasonal guest offered to pick some up for me on her way back from an errand. Another seasonal guest helped us back into our site. It was a really nice stay and both my husband and myself said we would go back there if in the area. - DeannaS

Beautiful park with friendly staff. Gravel and Grass with level pull in and back in sites. Good hookups. Lots of trees. Close to restaurants and beaches. Many seasonal RVs that in early May looked forlorn. This is our first time camping in New Jersey and now know that seasonal camping is the norm and we were probably at this camp before the seasonal campers come in to set up for the summer. The people were friendly and we wish we could have stayed longer. - JanneC

No words can describe this campground. Maybe unkempt, dirty, worn, scary. Way off the beaten path. Hard to get to. Rusted seasonals with broken down rigs. Broken windows on live a boards. Large equipment in parts, strewn around. Pavilion held up with wires and was leaning dangerously to one side. We toured this campground and left. I would NEVER recommend this place. - destinygal

We booked this park as our first RV trip for the season. They advertised as being newly renovated from their previous owner (Blueberry Hill RV Park). When we arrived, we went into the office expecting to see a camping store (as advertised on their website). The store consisted of 4 shelves on a wall with minimal RV items, and a few freestanding snack racks with junk food. No bread, milk, or other items you would expect. I would not call this a "store". We were then lead to our site by a staff member. BTW... Their staff were very friendly (a plus for them). As we passed the pool, we noticed that is was NOT an Olympic sized pool. This again, was in contradiction to their website. Once in our site, we started looking for the "Private Gate to Wal-Mart" as advertised on their website. This gate did not exist for this campground. When we questioned it at the office, we were told that the description used is for their sister campground in Florida. I believe this is false advertising. As for their Activities... My son went to participate in their dodgeball game. No one showed up. Not even their staff came. So much for activities. I went to use their WiFi... It was not free. I would have had to pay (chose not to). Final straw was their sewer system. I did my final dump before leaving. Their system clogged up and I ended up flooding three sites next to me.
Once again... Their staff were very friendly. This is the only reason I'm giving them 3 stars rather then 1.
I would NOT visit here again. Sorry Atlantic Blueberry. You need to update your website to be more truthful. - Davetheroamer

This campground is being updated but it is still nice. The sites are level grass sites and many are pull-through with cable. The 50A sites do not have sewer but do have a gray water hookup with a water hose connection but it backed up the couple of times we tried to use it. They do have a daily pump out service if you sign up before noon. The park has a huge pool and hot tub but the hot tub was out of service. They have free Wi-Fi at the office and very fast pay Wi-Fi at the sites. The host are very nice and helpful and they have several activities going on during the weekends. We would stay here again. - dandg

My wife and I were escorted to our site by two nice gentlemen. They helped us back into site. Only problem was after setting up went to office and following one way signs I wasn't able to make a sharp right turn with just my truck. I asked about getting out at office and the manager was unhappy with the national reservations for putting us in this site because of the difficulty getting out, we wound up backing up out of the area with some assistance. Pool looked very clean and nice but too cold to use that night. Overall impression very nice and we will return. - GlennNJ

Psp Games Download is Accessible on the Web
May 29, 2012 by Barry Penn
Filed under Computers
With the significant advancement of the Internet and all of its capabilities, it is now possible to download almost any kind of files and programs. Among all the downloads, PSP games download is probably one of the more popular in the video gaming industry. Nowadays, it is even possible to download video games for free, if you know where to look. The problem with free websites is that many of their files are somewhat outdated and some of the links are broken or infected with malware as well.
Choosing between a free download website and a paid one is the first thing you should take into account. There is no denying that we love free stuff, especially when it comes to PSP games. This is why websites that offer free game downloads are quite popular among gamers. But websites like these still has to make some money, so they do it by selling ads on their websites. As a result, free download sites are, more often than not, prone to ad pop-ups, malware, adware, spyware, and any other "wares" you can think of.
Now, if you want high quality video game downloads, the best move for you is to look for pay websites. Many serious gamers download PSP games from websites that charge a fee per download or a flat fee upon registration. For the casual gamer who does not really download that many games, the pay-per-download method is the best option. For gamers who go through different PSP games rather quickly, a one-time membership fee would be perfect because once you pay the registration fee, you will have unlimited access to the sites collection of classic and newly released PSP games.
With the continuous rise of the popularity of PSP games download, various kinds of PSP games have also become quite synonymous with the portable game console itself. So when you choose a website for your video game downloads, you need to make sure that that website can truly deliver in terms of the number of up-to-date games the site has in its database. Many websites that offer free game downloads are usually limited only to outdated video games. For many serious gamers, getting access to newly released PSP games is essential.
One way to determine if the website is any good is the number of active members it has. Websites that offer good quality service and downloads will have members that can attest to the site's excellence. A decent download speed is also a characteristic that should also be found in a good download website. This is why many websites provide a download software that allows the user to download games directly from the website's database for a much quicker video game download. These types of software should be updated constantly to achieve optimum performance.
Finally, when you want to download PSP games online, you will also need to consider download security. Most paid membership websites spend a lot of money on security alone, so you won't have to worry about any pop-ups or viruses when you download your favorite PSP games. Going online to get the PSP games that you have always wanted is much practical than visiting a brick and mortar video game store. If you think about it, it is much more economical as well, don't you agree?
Is it possible to Download Psp Games? You bet, you can even get Free Psp Games for life by joining a download service.

To complete the objectives of this proposal, we will conduct a series of studies with human volunteers. For Objective 1, we will model the satiating effects of selected individual food items and mixed meals. Our model will include the comparisons of hormonal and metabolic responses to food consumption to subjective satiety responses and subsequent energy intake, which we will evaluate in a repeated measures design human trial. In Objective 2a, we will conduct controlled feeding studies to determine the effects of caloric restriction and exercise on breath markers of substrate utilization. In Objective 2b, we will identify seasonal changes in body fat, as well as where, how much, and when physical activity and dietary intake vary seasonally.
