Amnesty International charged that the American Drone program was in violation of international law and thus US officials could be charged with war crimes. It cites the case of a grandmother who was murdered while picking fruit for the supper table. There are reports that Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharis will demand an end to drone strikes. The issue of what is happening in Pakistan due to Drone strikes is clouded. People fear discussing the topic, they are under pressure from militants to exaggerate what is happening and also fearfult that militants will not be defeated. They are the ones trapped in terror, not American forces.
Amnesty International has been investigating Drone attacks for years. It claims to have documented stories such as the murder of 19 civilians in North Wazirstand who died while eating dinner. The US insists only a few die and the greater good is served by allowing a few eggs to get broken. The problem of life is that your eggs never get broken, it is always eggs of another which get cracked. Americans will sleep peacefully tonight, the only fear they have of death is a member of the NRA bent on getting rid of his anger.

Social Ebola, a Windows Phone developer, has found another use for the Mimo Magic Touch – combine it with a Windows Phone 7 emulator and you have a faux Windows Phone tablet. As you can see in the video below, the performance is nice. The gestures all seem to work smoothly with no lag.
This little trick does require the Mimo to be tethered to the PC via USB, so you can't take your WP7 tablet on the go, but, as Social Ebola points out, it can be super helpful to developers who want to be able to interact with their apps with touch support during the development process.

text: My symptoms don't *seem* to match anything previously posted. * Pre-recorded shows which used to be fine will stutter and freeze. * If I reboot, said shows will work okay... but then fail again later. * Live TV is affected (goes gray, fixed only by channel changing) when a pre-recorded show causes a freeze. I ran a kickstart 54 and got an error code, but I've heard that SMART can give false-positives, and the disk is only 3 months old, so I'm loathe to just replace the disk. I managed to reinstall the OS with kickstart, thinking the drive upgrade (copied from a known-failing previous one) may have corrupted things. (And kickstart 57 didn't seem to do much.) And the unit's temperature is fine (41C) --> I've seen and fixed that problem before. I will be opening it to check for blown resistors, if any are puffy, then I guess it's time to shop for a new power supply. I can't find anything out there cheaper than $99... ouch. If anyone has additional clues, I'd appreciate hearing about them.

I would like to ask how to read points from
a graph with the windows 3.1 version. My Next notebook
plots a graph then requests the user to click on the graph
to select it; hold down the command key while clicking the
mouse to designate points on the graph; use command/c to
copy the coordinates of the points and command/v to
paste the coordinates in a text cell. I can't figure out,
despite reading the documentation, how to do this in
windows. Holding down the control key and clicking the mouse
will sometimes designate points on the graph but I cannot
get the coordinates copied.

Your After Thanksgiving Diet Plan
By Matthew Thompson, November 25, 2011 - 9:00am
Q: "I ate way too much at Thanksgiving. How can I get back on track?"
A: OK, so you overate. We all did! For many people, Thanksgiving is a calculated calorie splurge—something they plan to pay for with good behavior in the following weeks. I know that I, for one, have a long history of redoubled jogging efforts starting the following Monday (after the long food coma of Thanksgiving afternoon).
But for many people, it's hard to know just how to get back on track. I was boggled when my co-worker Kerri-Ann Jennings calculated that it would take over 5 hours of walking through Black Friday sales to sweat off the average amount that people overeat on Thanksgiving. That's a lot of Sears sales! It's easy to get discouraged when thinking about it.
Fortunately, we at EatingWell have devised a plan to help you get back on track after the big day. By reaffirming the core values of healthy eating and calorie control, you can get back on track without any spinning-class heroics (or marathon shopping trips!). Even better: we've included what to eat when you're out, so if there is a sale you can't pass up, you won't have to sacrifice your diet to do so.
Check out our Post-Thanksgiving Detox Plan here.
Countdown to Thanksgiving
For the two weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, we'll be answering your most pressing Thanksgiving cooking questions and offering up delicious Thanksgiving recipes, easy cooking advice and essential tips for making your Thanksgiving a meal to remember.
After Thanksgiving, how do you get your healthy diet back on track? Tell us what you think below.

The 5K and marathon courses are surprisingly hilly so that, coupled with heat and humidity, the winning times are somewhat slow. But these destination races should be about the experience; one that is rich and motivating. How many marathons do you get to run where you are cooled by ocean spray while you hear the beat of native drummers?
[Editor's note: David Torrence won the Front Street Mile in 3:57, while Heather Kempf was the women's winner in 4:39. Ken Hall (17:02) and Yukiko Sasahara (20:00) won the 5K races, and Yutaka Fukuda (2:51:22) and Nicole Chyr (2:57:36) were the marathon winners.]

1956 Plymouth vs. Bicycle
Inspired by the other "story-telling" abilities, of other "denizens" of
this place -
I figured, I'd throw one out there.
I've got more "time on my hands" - just waiting around to get paid -
2 roofs (tear-offs), sidewalk, windows, walk-in tub (waste/supply lines,
3 electrical circuits, etc...) :)
Oh Well!!
Remember - this story is true!!
(The only person, that was injured; was me)
Identities changed, to protect the innocence!
DO NOT attempt this at home!
Early, 1970's -
Just put a 10-Speed together - new paint, new parts "Campys",
"silver-alloy", crank (90 dollars, back then), new everything!
To be continued!
So -
(By the way - I had "toe-clips" on my bike - (you'll see how that
comes into play, later!)
A "Boo-ful", Summer, Saturday morning -
nice day do do some riding.
I was with a friend of mine - he liked to ride, too.
Out cruising the streets of Aurora, Ill. ("City of Lights")
Around, 9:00 - 9:30 - we decide it's "break-time"
We stop at "Lums" - a restaurant that served "Allcy-hol" -
After 4 or 5 Hieneken Darks - we decided to do some more cruising.
On our merry, way we go! (Fortified!) - care-free, fancy-free :)
As we're riding, we decide it's time for a "smoke" (good idea, Ehh?)
The only thing we had to smoke was something - we'll call it -
"Tabacky" (Let's keep this PG-13!)
So, we smoke some "tabacky" - that combined with some "inspiration"
from the Netherlands, region -
We're going to "burn" up some pavement!
We're "boiling" up Palace St. (North/South street) coming upto
Illinois (Major, East/West drag) -
We've got a stop-sign, Illinois don't.
At this point I'm doing 30 to 35 MPH - and, I'm "digging, hard" -
Flying! :)
I looked both ways - It's clear - I've got a good idea, -
I'll "blow" the "Stop- Sign" - I'm rolling, now - why slow down?!
It's clear! Wheee!!
(Break time)
Back to the "Tale"!
It was clear - on the right and the left.
However, facing me on the North side of "Illinois" was a
1956, Plymouth, 4-door, Sedan. (Nice one!)
His turn-signals didn't work!
Oh No!
I enter the intersection; and, promptly "Slam" into the side of his car.
He turned left - right in front of me!
Oh No!
My friend, who was behind me (some distance) said I went, straight
up in the air - 10 to 20 feet.
(we didn't have tape measures with us) :)
I landed in the intersection and I pick up my bike -
I look at it - front tire is about 8 to 10 inches wide one way -
and a Lot wider the other.
(Still holding air)
The tubes on the frame are "accordioned", severly!
Boo, Hoo, Hoo!
The driver of the car and my friend escort me to the side of the road -
I'm distraught about my bicycle!
They tell me I've got to go to the hospital.
First, I'm like What?!? - I'm fine -
Look at my bicycle!
They get me to go look in the side-view mirror, of the car I just hit.
Chin opened up - right shoulder - opened up -
I think I'll go to the hospital!
Funny - no marks on the car!!! :)
My face landed, right between the rear windshield and the trunk.
Well, I'm going to the hospital.
The driver of the car I hit is going to drive me.
My friend will drop my bike at my house.
All good.
We're on the way to "Copley" hospital -
I can see this person is "very concerned", nervous, etc...
(Car - bike accident?!! - Ouch!)
I tell him - don't worry - it's my fault - I "ran" the stop-sign!
I ask him if he smokes "tabacky" - he says yes -
we split a "square" on the way to the hospital.
(Can't have too much pain-killers)
He drops me off - I never saw him again.
Emergency Ward -
I walk in and the nurse looks at all the "V8" on my T-shirt -
No waiting! :)
20 on my chin and 12 on my shoulder.
(Shot of "demerol" too!)
I walk out of the "EW" and there's a police car waiting.
They ask me about a "car" accident that happened at Palace and Illinois -
I explain what happened -
they probably looked at me and figured - I already payed!! :)
They offered to drive me home - I lived across the "Fox" river -
wasn't a long walk.I walked.
End of story!
Hope there's some "Mirth" and "Merriment" here!
(I have more stories)
You've been warned!!
(Happy Holidays!) :)
(By the way - this isn't any "cut and paste") :)
An aside - if I wouldn't have had "toe-clips" on - instead: of slamming into the car - I would
have gone over it, and landed directly in the path of a vehicle - going, fast!)
Thanks RF, I enjoyed that, well not the part where you got hurt. I look forward to more of your stories.
Luckily - most of my stories are not that injurious!
I got hurt!?! So what!!
What about my bicycle!??! :)
As an "addendum" to this wonderful tale of "mirth and merriment" (Huh?!)
A couple of years later - when I had begun my profitable (What??!) career
in the construction industry -
I had the pleasure to visit the Emergency Ward, at Copley Hospital.
This time - it wasn't me versus motor vehicle - It was me versus
7 1/4 inch, Craftsman power saw!
Guess who won??
100 plus stitches! (At least, I didn't hurt the blade!)
(Seriously, at this moment I don't remember, exactly how many -
100 to 200)
Same doctor who stitched me up from my "escapade" with the
He remembered me! (Aren't you the idiot? .... Yeah!) :)
Demerol again!!! (He, he he!!!)
(That wasn't my leg, they were working on - just a piece of meat!)
Always a "silver lining" in every cloud! :)
Wait till you hear my next adventure with bicycles!
No stitches!!! :)
Thanks Ross---I know those streets well--I got a good chuckle when you ran into the same doctor---
Search "Jordan Rapp accident'' for same cycling accident.
I was a cab driver/dispatcher in Aurora - used to know that town -
"like the back of my hand"!
At least there's someone here who can somewhat, realize the unpleasant, "Stupidity" - of my choice to run that stop-sign! :)
That intersection is still dangerous!!
"Doc Holliday"
(Wait a minute: which "Doc Holliday" is this? I think there's 2 on this place?! - Oh! - 2 "L's" - we know who you are!)
"Jordan Rapp"? - I'll look it up!
(Here, I thought I was the only person that could do something as dumb
as this?!) :)
Seriously - I was young and stupid! - vs. old and stupid - like now!!
Next up -
Bicycles (this is a bicycle, themed thread), Fox Valley Mall, and
"J C Penneys"
(Video at 11:00)
What a "teaser"!!!
This was back in the late 70's.
My brother, a bunch of our friends, and myself; used to frequent a number
of restaurant/bars in Fox Valley Mall - the Mall: a large place.
It had 2 levels, plus a basement with a large food-court, a couple
The Mall had large versions of Sears (man, did they have a giant, selection
of "Craftsman" tools!!), Penneys, Lord and Taylor, Marshall Fields ( the "gift
wrapping" service at "Fields" was superb! - you wait till Christmas Eve -
do a "mad" rush through the Mall - take your gifts to Fields - then spend
a hour or two at one of the "watering holes"! - perfect!) :)
(I had a Fields card back then - "Charge It"!) :)
The Penneys store had entrances on both levels.
I quite, often parked at one of the upper, level entrances - it had
a large "loading zone" - from experience I knew that people often
parked there for hours - no "tows", no "tickets".
I was carrying lots of tools and equipment on my truck; so, I figured it
was safer there then the "nether" regions of the parking lots.
(they didn't have "security patrols" back then - they do now!)
I had a radio-alarm installed: but, you can't be too careful! :)
This day, we decided we were going to visit a place called -
"The Foxes Den" (get it - Fox Valley Mall - "Foxes Den"!)
(An aside - they had a bartender at this place "Pat Fox"! -
her name fit her perfectly! - a "Fox"!) :)
We were there for a while - don't remember, exactly how long
(Time "flies" when you're having fun!!!) :)
We decided to leave.
My brother and I make our way through the mall to the upper, level
and enter Penneys.
As were making our way through Penneys toward the exit -
(my truck is parked, right outside)
What do we see??? -
A rack filled with (guess?) - "BICYCLES" - OH, BOY!!! :)
We walk over to the rack -
We don't say a word to each other -
We remove two BMX bikes from the rack -
We then proceed to "tour" the store!!
Off we go, on our own separate way! :)
("Speed shopping" - boy, on those floors - those things could stop on
a "dime"! - acceleration? - Oh Yeah!)
Break time!
I'll be back!
(No bicycles were harmed in the performance of this stunt!) :)
So, the "tour" is "scenic" -
You should have seen the "perplexed", "surprised", "awe-struck", "startled",
look on the face of the shoppers I encountered!!! :)
Fun like that, makes life worth living!!! :)
The tour ends up with me stopped, looking at the exit from Penneys into
the Mall (they have "ramps" in the Mall - WHEEEE!!!)
As, I'm there, looking out into the Mall - up rides my brother.
We're there looking out into the Mall - no words are exchanged
(Great Minds Think Alike!)
I think it dawned on both of us that - remove merchandise from store -
We both turn and off we go - more "touring"!
However: all good things must come to an end!
(Before the "powers that be", decide to have the "POLIZIA" intervene!!!) :)
I'm approaching the rack that we got the bicycles from -
Up walks a "stern", "perturbed" man in a grey suit (Asst. Man. - I knew him
and he knew me - when you've got a pony-tail, six inches below your
belt and a "Fu-Manchu": you're easy to see!!!) :)
(I spent a lot of money at Penneys - and, I owed them a lot!)
So, I'm standing there looking at him - he's looking at me - no words, yet.
Up comes riding, my brother.
He stops - forgets to put his feet out - promptly falls over!!!
(It could have been the "libations" or the "tabacky" - who knows!?!)
I turn and look at the Asst. Man. and tell him - ( with a "wide", "eyed"
look on my face) - "He fall down go boom"!!! :)
No words from him!!! He, he, he!!!
(Can you say "Lawsuit"!?! - I thought you could!!!)
My brother gets up and we walk over and put the bicycles back in the rack.
We walk out of the store.
No problems!!!
The next day, we return to the scene of the "crime".
Guess what????!!!!
"Attractive Nuisance"!!
(Too much "libations"/"smoke"???)
All of the above?
We'll never, really know!!
End of story.
I hate to tell you good, people this -
I have more!!
(Don't worry - some of them are as "fool-hardy", "stupid", "wreckless" ...
as this one!!!)
Nothing like a little entertainment!
Happy Holidays :)
(I think the next tale might involve "pool" - not the "cement pond" type -
the exasperating, slate covered by felt type)
By the way - sorry about any double letters or mis-spelling -
just got a new keyboard - not used to it at all :)
I guess when the man in the suit is just looking at you and not saying anything, you can just make up what you think he is thinking and most times it is worse than what he really is thinking, I think.
Not sure what you're getting at - I think!
I think I have a grasp.
I think that the person didn't know "what to think"! :)
I don't blame him!
I hope you at least, got some "chuckles" from the story!
I did! :)
I think we'll move on, into "Pool" -
Shooting "Stick" -
Happy Holidays!

Areas of Staten Island Hard Hit by Sandy Mull Buyout Option
A Staten Island neighborhood where three people died during Sandy will be the first to get state-sponsored home buyouts. Governor Andrew Cuomo outlined the planned program during a visit to the borough on Monday.
Cuomo said Oakwood Beach – where 141 of the roughly 200 homeowners have already asked for a buyout – typifies the kind of community he'd like to help through the program. "It's been damaged time and time again," Cuomo said. "It is in a situation that is very vulnerable."
The governor's plan calls for the state to pay 100 percent of the pre-storm value for the homes. Residents who move elsewhere on Staten Island will be eligible for an additional five percent bonus.
Some areas of Staten Island were so badly hit by Sandy that the prospect of rebuilding has been called into question. Midland Beach, where 11 people drowned within one square mile, sits below sea level, for example.
Assemblyman Matthew Titone said some homeowners facing high insurance rates and the prospect of future flooding are looking to get out.
"When we look at certain areas that have been consistently – not just, you know, with a big storm or a super storm, but just heavy rain – sustained damage or flooding, well, you know, it's time to maybe really reassess, should there even be a house here," he said.
Titone and other Staten Island officials, like Councilman James Oddo, are praising Cuomo's buyout plan.
"When you look at an aerial view of Staten Island, there are some locations that are obvious that human beings should no longer live there," he said. "They probably should have never lived there to begin with."
But in some places, residents are already rebuilding. Anthony Depaulo hopes to move back into his home on Grisby Street, in the heart of Midland Beach, next week.
"I'm not looking to really move, especially at this time in my life," the sixty-one-year-old said. "I'm comfortable where I was…and I'm still here. So I just want to get back to that and relax."
Depaulo said it would take a hefty sum to convince him to move out of Midland Beach, and he said he doesn't believe the government "has the kind of money" to offer all of the homeowners a fair buyout.
Aiman Joussef lived up the street from Depaulo, on Midland Avenue. But he has nothing to renovate – his home was completely leveled by Sandy. He's running a makeshift relief shelter by the empty lot where his home once stood. Joussef said some Midland Beach residents aren't at a point where they can think about buyouts – because many, like him, are still desperate to fulfill their basic needs. He said many questions are still unanswered.
"I am a victim, how can you help me? I'm still in the hotel, how can I move on with my life? How can we get support from you? How can we get funds for the people?" he said. "We're still day one here."

Tim Burton
Our great grandparents had the Brothers Grimm, our parents had Roald Dahl and we have Tim Burton. For years he has been the modern purveyor of twisted fairy tales, macabre and innocent, sordid and delightful, blockbuster smashes and straight up flops. His films have become cultural touchstones -- films like Beetle Juice (1988), Batman (1989), Edward Scissorhands (1990), and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) -- and have cemented his place among the greatest American directors of all time. His next film, a retelling of Lewis Carroll's classic Alice In Wonderland will mark his seventh collaboration with Johnny Depp, forming the most potent cinematic duo since Roman Polanski and 13-year-old girls. Burton will also serve as head of the jury for this year's Cannes Film Festival, May 12-23.
AppealA spindly physique, unkempt hair and pitch-black wardrobe usually brings to mind a high school emo kid who spends more time lost in the treacherous World of Warcraft than he does at the head cheerleader's pool party. But factor in the sensitive artistic flare of a prolific visionary, a knack for romantic storytelling and the boundless imagination of an innocent child and you get Tim Burton, a director who dated the baroque bombshell Lisa Marie before settling down with gothic beauty Helena Bonham Carter and their two children Billy Ray and Nell.
SuccessTim Burton's success as a filmmaker in Hollywood is almost as bizarre as the films on which that success is built. His first film -- Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) -- about a strange man-child who loves his bicycle above all else -- was a huge hit at the box office and announced Tim Burton as a twisted but bankable director capable of turning spook into loot. Since then, Burton has amassed a bundle of cult classics -- Beetle Juice, Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas -- a slew of blockbusters -- Batman, Batman Returns (1992), Planet Of The Apes (2001), Charlie And The Chocolate Factory (2005) -- and a gaggle of critical darlings -- Ed Wood (1994), Big Fish (2003), and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, the latter of which earned him a Golden Globe for best picture and the best director award from The National Board of Review.
Tim Burton BiographyGrowing up in the white-washed world of Burbank, California, Burton has described his childhood self as peculiar, dark and chock-full of imagination. It probably helped that he grew up next to a cemetery too. After years as an outsider artist in high school, the prodigious illustrator won a Disney scholarship to attend the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California, where he studied Character Animation for three years. He was hired by Disney as an animator apprentice and made his first short film Vincent (1982), a stop-motion gem based on a poem he had written. His next major film, the live action short Frankenweenie (1984) gained him considerable attention from Hollywood, most notably from Paul "Pee-wee Herman" Reubens, who hand picked Burton to direct the feature film Pee-wee's Big Adventure.
tim burton bursts onto the hollywood landscapeBurton's first feature film, the absurd Pee-wee's Big Adventure cost a paltry $6 million to produce, but made over $40 million at the box office, a huge success by industry standards. Burton had hit a home run in his first at bat, and had officially arrived as a major player in Hollywood. The cult classic also marked the first time that Burton and composer Danny Elfman worked together, a partnership that would re-emerge in all but two of Burton's films. After the financial success of Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Warner Bros. tapped Burton to direct its summer tent-pole, Batman. But before he plunged into the world of Hollywood blockbusters, he ensured his place in cult lore with his second feature Beetle Juice, starring Michael Keaton as a "bio-exorcist" intent on scaring a young couple from their home. The film was another huge success for Burton, becoming the 10th highest grossing film of 1988. But the financial success of both Pee-wee's Big Adventure and Beetle Juice would pale in comparison to Burton's next film.
tim burton directs batmanWhen Tim Burton was handed the reins for Batman he was done so amidst some controversy. His desire to cast Michael Keaton -- an actor who was seen as too comedic -- in the titular role was met with massive skepticism from fans and studio heads alike. But after easing tensions with the casting of the brilliant Jack Nicholson as The Joker, and marketing and merchandising campaigns that were the biggest of all time, Burton was ultimately vindicated when Batman became one of the highest-grossing films of all time. Keaton and Nicholson were praised for their performances, and Burton gave us a Gotham City that was so dark and haunting, it almost became a character unto itself. We can drool over The Dark Knight until the cows come home, but it was Burton's take on the Caped Crusader that started it all.
tim burton hooks up with johnny deppBefore directing Batman Returns, Tim Burton made what is perhaps his most personal film to date, the nightmarish fairytale Edward Scissorhands. The story about an outsider boy with scissors for hands yearning for acceptance in the famously pastel-colored suburbs was based on a drawing Burton had made as a child, one that perfectly illustrated the alienation he felt growing up in Burbank. Tom Cruise was considered for the role, Tom Hanks passed on it and Michael Jackson begged for it, before Burton ultimately chose a young heartthrob whose performance on the hit show 21 Jump Street had endeared him to teenage girls everywhere. His name was Johnny Depp, and he and Burton would go on to establish one of the most fruitful, and creatively satisfying working relationships in Hollywood.
After working on six more films together -- Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow (1999), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and the upcoming Alice In Wonderland -- the two have become close friends as well, with Johnny Depp claiming love for the acclaimed director: "Most people -- they hear Tim give me direction or we're talking about the character or something on the set -- people are baffled. They don't know what we're talking about. It's just one of those things that you don't question, but I sure love him." You're not the only one, pal. Hopefully Burton will be eloquent this May when he serves as head of the jury for this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Luxury brands step up battle for travelling shoppers
By Pascale Denis and Astrid Wendlandt
PARIS (Reuters) - Luxury brands are stepping up the battle for travelling shoppers with more outlets at airports and on cruise ships, tapping into one of the fastest growing sections of the market that looks set to keep booming thanks to soaring numbers of Asian tourists.
Revenues from travel retail, which also includes sales on airplanes, rose 9.4 percent in 2012 to 55.8 billion euros ($76.6 billion), according to a market study by Generation Research.
It should reach 60 billion euros this year and nearly double in size by 2020, the study forecast.
"This channel is becoming very important," Bruno Pavlovsky, chairman of Chanel's fashion business, said. "Customers are spending time in airports where the environment has become increasingly sophisticated."
The French luxury brand, the world's second-biggest behind Louis Vuitton by sales, has boutiques in four Asian airports and one at London's Heathrow, and next year will open a boutique in Paris Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport and another in Dubai.
Kering's Gucci, which like mega-brand rival Louis Vuitton has suffered a slowdown in the past two years partly due to emerging market shoppers' growing preference for logo-free products, has opened boutiques in the same locations recently.
Tourism spending is up 12 percent worldwide since January while spending by Chinese tourists in Europe is up closer to 20 percent, according to data from tax-refund company Global Blue.
Chinese tourists, who barely featured in luxury brands' customer statistics a little over a decade ago, now make up 29 percent of global luxury spending, consultancy Bain & Co said in a report published this week. Continued...

Repair/replace sill plate and joist ends
Well, done some research on this project (much on this site too, great advice) that must be done, hoping for corrections or thoughts to my plan, plus need a couple suggestions.
60 yr house, where I discovered that through the years, there must have been many problems with keeping windows open during rain storms, and bath tub flooding/splashing/water proofing was bad, and kitchen spills/leaks/flooding.
End result is in several stretches in the crawl space, the ends of the floor joists are rotted out up to a couple inches, and/or the sill plate is rotted and crushed/collapsed where the joist rests on it. So the floor sinks across those 2-4 joist areas. The rim joist is not as bad, but I'm sure rusty nails from rim to floor joists have been useless, never mind no wood to bite in to anymore. Sill plate sitting on the outside of a concrete block foundation, with a termite shield that has rusted out in few spots, and termites got in at some point in past.
My plan is:
1. Cut out the sill plate wood back to the rim joist, except what is under a joist.
2. Sister joist equal sized wood up to rim joist, and 3 ft past the problem area. Not bolted in yet.
3. Lift those joists and sisters in that span as one, with couple 12 ton jacks and couple lally columns, following rule of max 1/8" day.
4. Once enough room, stick new pressure treated sill plate and termite shield under joists and sisters, butted up against sill plate still under the rim joist. The block wall has the space for both.
5. Bolt the sister joist in at the far end, and as close as good wood provides to the damaged area, with 3/8" x 3" lag bolts and big washers.
6. Lower that stretch and move on to next.
So questions:
Is it that bad I won't be gluing the sister joists?
Because I figure until I lift the span of joists, it wouldn't be in correct place anyway, and the gluing would just be ripped apart.
Does a solid 3 ft of good to good wood sistering sound like enough?
Purpose is not for floor flex or such, just to provide good ends for support on sill plate. Some in the bathroom may end up longer because the top of existing joists rotted out too. Ya, they had upwards of 8 kids in a 1 bathroom home for first 20 years. Ugh.
The lifting aspect, I got the top figured out. 4x4 cross supports and 1/4" steel plates against jack/columns, ect.
But the bottom part, with crawl space earth not exactly compressed as the base, I'm iffy about.
I was thinking those concrete pyramids used for decking as a base. Not sure if 4 of those (2 jacks and 2 lally columns) could really share the load of 4-6 joists and 1 story house section?
I'm sure I'd spend some time sinking them into the ground until they "bit", but is there a better idea?
And how close to the wall does this lifting need to be?
I figured within the 3 foot of the sister joist, hence my thought of putting it in place before lifting. Because trying to position it in while the lift mechanism is in place sounds like a bad idea too.
Any other suggestions, or gotchas, or you forgot this major item, or you gotta be kidding me thoughts?
Thanks much.
At least it's not literal crawl space, just hunkered over space.
Hi heybales,
This sounds like the exact same problem I have at our house. Do you mind uploading a couple pictures so we can see?
Pictures will help----3 feet is not long enough----6 to 8 feet minimum---best is full support but that is not always possible----
Jacking the floor joists one at a time causes much more damage, to the structure above, than jacking several--or the entire wall if possible----
Avoid using any masonry blocks ad cribbing --they can crush/crack/shatter with the pressure of the jack----wood cribbing is best----
It's to early for a long description----more help from others will come----
Post a few pictures if you can---look for a thread by 'alan'---he is going through this process as we speak----
Use at least doubled up 2X6's, not a 4 X 4 horizontal beam to do the lifting.
Sistering full lenght joist will bring the floor back to original strength, short little patches like your suggesting will do nothing.
That's strange Gary because the exact same post came up on three other DIY web sites at the same time.

International Society for Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, June 17-21, 2009, Lisbon, Portugal. p 399. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: This study examined the relationship of sensitivity to 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) (chemically similar to glucosinolates, which provide the bitter taste in cruciferous vegetables) to body mass index (BMI) while statistically controlling for demographic characteristics in two age groups: 9 to 10 years and 17-18 years. A cross sectional design with a multi-ethnic (White, African American, Hispanic, and Other) sample of 813 9 to 10 year old and 738 17 to 18 year old children in the Houston, Texas. PROP taster status was determined using the paper screening test. This method used 2 paper discs, one impregnated with NaCl (1.0 mol/l) and the other with the PROP solution (0.50 mmol/l). Height, and weight measurements were taken and used to determine BMI percentile and z score. A significant PROP sensitivity by SES interaction term was detected wherein super tasters had the largest BMI percentile and z score, only among the highest SES group. This suggests other factors overwhelmed the influence of PROP sensitivity on adiposity in lower SES groups. The percentage of variance accounted for by the interaction term was about 1%. PROP sensitivity has been related to obesity in several small samples of mostly higher socio-economic status (SES) children, but without controlling for possibly confounding factors. PROP sensitivity does not appear to be a major contributor to adiposity among ethnic children varying in SES.

US Government Documents at Wesleyan's Libraries
Wesleyan University libraries contain United States Government publications (also called "government documents") from the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the United States government, in several formats: paper, microfiche, CD-ROM, diskette, videocassette, and online. Government documents cover many topics. Our collection emphasizes the social sciences, and is strongest in Congressional publications, statistics, and government policy.
We were designated a Depository library by a Connecticut Senator in 1906. We receive, free of charge, about 35% of the publications offered in pre-selected categories by the Government Printing Office (GPO), and are required by Federal law to make them available to the general public as well as to our regular users.
Publications we have received since 1976 appear in the CTW online catalog. Catalog of U.S. Government Publications, an online version of the Government Printing Office's catalog of U.S. Government documents, indexes all federal government publications from 1976 to the present, including publications which we do not select but which may be available in other Depositories. Printed indexes for earlier publications are available; consult a Reference librarian.
The main documents collection is housed on the Ground Floor of the Olin Library stacks. The Documents Reference collection is on the Main Floor of Olin, near the Campbell Reference Center. Congressional hearings are on Ground Floor A; the Congressional Serial Set is on the Basement Level. Microfiche are in the Microforms Room. CD-ROMs and diskettes are in the Documents Office on the Main Floor. Online databases are available through the campus network or through Netscape. See Documents librarian or a Reference librarian for assistance.
Most U.S. publications are classified in the Superintendent of Documents (SuDoc) classification. The call number is not based on subject, but on the Federal agency that issued the publication and the type of publication. The most important thing to note is that the dot in the call number is NOT A DECIMAL, but a whole number. For example: call numbers beginning with HE 20.2: come before HE 20.11. HE 20.11, in turn, precedes HE 20.101: which precedes HE 20.1001: Alphanumeric combinations, however, are decimals, though they have no decimal point, e.g., A76 precedes A8. For clarification, see a reference librarian.
Some U.S. government monographs and serials are in the general collection or the Science library, and are classified in the regular Library of Congress classification. They appear in the CTW online catalog.
The Government Documents Librarian and Reference Librarians can assist readers in using the U.S. Government publications Depository library collection at Wesleyan.

Sales for the second quarter ended June would be around $12-$13m, Autonomy said, from $14.1m in the first three months. It blamed weaker European markets. The City had been looking for $15m. Autonomy said profits for the quarter would come in at 1 cent a share.
'We are disappointed by the unexpected return of weakness in Europe's economy that has impacted our European revenues,' said chief executive Mike Lynch. 'As a result, we will not now show the modest sequential growth hoped for at the beginning of the quarter.'
Autonomy was one of the first in the software industry to say in January that the worst was over for its battered market after identifying the third quarter of last year as the trough.
Shares in Autonomy fell 82p to 123p, valuing the business at around £160m. The stock peaked at nearly 4200p soon after the firm's listing in November 2000.

The best gaming mouse: Logitech G5 vs. Razer Copperhead
By Sebastian Lasso on
January 25th, 2006
Editor: Julio
Franco H.
G5, Razer
mouse and input devices prices
Post/read feedback on this article
Logitech G5
Founded in 1981, Logitech should be no
stranger to any of us. Traditionally an input device maker,
today Logitech continues to be a leading brand for devices
such as keyboards, mice, as well as webcams, speakers, music
player accessories, and more. Logitech's retail business
accounts for 87 percent of its revenue according to its
website, which talks highly of its brand recognition.
Let's start out by saying that the G5 is
not the only flagship product in Logitech's current line up
but it also includes the G7, a similarly high-end gaming
mouse but in cordless flavor. So you may say the G7 is the
MX1000 successor, while the G5 is meant to replace our
previous gaming favorite, the MX-518. It's also a more
obvious competitor to the Copperhead since both are corded.
The G5 inherits some of the features we
used to love about previous Logitech gaming mouse that
includes the on-the-fly sensitivity switch. The G5 also gets
a revamped laser engine matching the Copperhead's 2000 dpi
One of the most controversial changes in
the new mouse was Logitech's decision to take away the
forward button located in one of the sides. Logitech claims
that they wanted gamers to have one less button that could
accidentally be clicked while gaming. And while this may
sound logical, in my case I don't ever remember accidentally
pressing the extra button. As was to be expected users'
feedback is a mixed bag of people complaining and others
welcoming the change, in our case, we definitely preferred
to have the extra button that by now was a set standard.
Weight customization in the G5 is
probably one of the most welcomed features available in the
G5. It is possible to add up to 36 grams of weight (in
increments of 1.7 or 4.5 grams) to the mouse. A weight
cartridge holds up to eight weights and is placed into a
slot on the underside of the mouse. Because the slot is
spring loaded, you simply have to press a button above the
slot to remove the weight cartridge. It most likely will
take you a few tries before you find a weight that you like.
Although Logitech never really stated
what kind of material the surface of the mouse is covered
with, it works really well. Quoting the G5 reviewer's
guide: "It's not rubber, but it has positive grip that won't
slip." Rubber can feel wet and isn't good for tournaments
that can last hours".
To finish up my brief analysis of the
G5, I will talk about a common complaint that I have heard
about the G5. I have heard several users claim that they
were having trouble using the G5 on certain mousing
surfaces. I used half a dozen different mouse pads, and
didn't have a problem with tracking on any of them.

I have no interest in pushing the car and my boundaries, because its my DD and I don't want to have to be slugged with all those costs you're mentioning. I'm specifically NOT interested in the expensive and timed BMW track days for this very reason.
The extra $100 really does make a difference at my level.
Fair enough. I guess it all depends how much you want to push your vehicle. You'll still be prone to increased service costs regardless of how hard you push it on the track (unless you drive like you're on a street in which case there's no point tracking it).
The days I'm talking about are being organised on M3 Post. The one in December is booked out but the other 3 haven't had dates confirmed so there will be spaces once the date and time is sorted.

From the minute you meet Katie Brown, you get the feeling she's an amazing teacher. Her intelligence and passion jump out. You immediately think: I would love for my kids to be in her classroom. It's no surprise to learn she was named the 2014 Washington State Teacher of the Year.
Katie has had a busy summer meeting with policymakers, connecting with colleagues across the country, and even attending Space Camp with the top teachers from other states. So I really appreciated her taking the time to stop by my office last week.

AFR Refrigeration
Smugglers Way
Greater London
Company Profile
J & E Hall has a history that few companies can match. The origins of the business go back to 1785 when John Hall began his one-man workshop at Dartford in the UK. During the early part of the 19th century Halls gained a reputation for manufacturing steam engines and gun carriages. The company went on to export steam engines and boilers to Europe and Asia but it was not until the late 19th century that Halls moved into refrigeration.
In 1886 the Halls' cold air machine was being lauded as a means of providing direct cooling for the preservation of provisions at sea on the SS Selembria.
Three years later there was another breakthrough when the company installed a two-stage carbon dioxide compressor for a frozen meat store at Smithfield Market, London.
By the early 1920s Halls were established as a major player in refrigeration and had installed more than half of the world's marine cargo refrigeration. On land, in food storage, brewing and other processing industries, J & E Hall progressed to be a world leader.
The company grew steadily during the 20th century and merged with air conditioning pioneers Thermotank in 1959. APV acquired the business in 1976. In 1978 the first British single screw compressor, the HallScrew, was developed. This later received a Design Council Award in recognition of the company's major contribution to refrigeration technology.
In 1995 AAF McQuay International purchased the refrigeration and freezer interests of APV in the UK. The company, with its proud past, is looking to the future with confidence and now has a worldwide base with manufacturing sites in Asia and Europe – and markets spanning the globe.

New Home - Textured Walls
So my partner and I are buying a new home (new construction) and plan on painting it after we settle but before we move in. Since the walls will be freshly painted white and textured, do we need to prime? Is it worth doing tinted priming for walls we want to do in really bold colors (bright orange[very very tiny section]/deep blue/etc etc)?
Also, in our last home we used 3/8" Purdy WhiteDove rollers. Would those still be the best ones to use with a textured wall?
Finally, I noticed that this forum really likes SW/BM type-paints. We were originally going to go with Behr (although, in our old place, we did notice some brush marks and imperfections with the Behr when looked at in the right light), however, based on everything we have read, are considering doing either BM or SW.
As we will be closing in November, we were leaning towards SW because my Googlefu tells me that they traditionally have one of their 40% off sales in November.
Is BM worth it over SW when they are having their 40% sale? Is there a specific BM/SW paint we should aim for for textured walls? (Should we avoid either satin or eggshell because of the textured walls?)
I was a big fan of Ben Moore's paints for interior work and it was my go to brand unless, for whatever reason, the client had a preference for Sherwin Williams as my primary art gallery client did. I never complained. You will do just fine with either brand. Most any painter on this site would tell you it is a coin flip between the two brands.
I don't really know what paint costs retail but I suspect Ben Moore would match anything SW offered. I find it a little strange that SW seems to have reasons for 40 percent off all the time? Why not just drop the sticker price?
I only have had to use BEHRly paint when donating time to work on charity work projects where leftovers were donated. It and its box store counterparts like Valspar are quite awful to work with. Used to good stuff, I struggled.
I would use 3/4 nap roller covers for just about any texture. You did not mention how much texture you have but 3/8 may end up causing you more work than necessary and the nap may not be enough to get down through the texture? Step up at least to 1/2?
I cannot advise on whether you need to prime without knowing more about what you will have. Is your contractor going to blow through the house spray painting crappy two dollar a gallon white over unprimed drywall? Or do it right and spray a primer and a couple coats of white finish?
If making dramatic color changes I would definitely lay down a coat of tinted primer first. Have a real paint store tint the primer to 40-50 percent of the color chip formula you choose. The minimum wage person at a box store will likely have no idea what you are talking about with such a request.
As far as BM matching when SW has their sales, I did not even think of that, I should call and ask if they match them. If so, I will most likely go BM then (it seems to get slightly better reviews then SW) (and as for the reason of the sales: my bet is that they profit quite well from them, and by making it sales, they also can get people willing to pay full price)
As far as the texture, I'm pretty sure its this type of texture: https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...T1Taq7gxn6lUew . Its not a very deep texturing, its the general type that seems to be the norm in new construction in CA.
If I do need to step upto 1/2 or 3/4 what ones should I be buying? The WhiteDove 3 packs (which are 4 packs at lowes right now) are only availble in 3/8". Buying them single is insanely expensive ($6 or so per roller cover)
They all know they have to compete to survive. I know what I paid for paint and it weren't not never not close to 40 percent off retail so I know a margin exists. Of course I bought trillions of gallons per year and passed the savings on to my clients. Least I could do since they paid me well above going typical rates.
One thing I learned from my years living in NYC. Only idjuts pay retail, or even discounted retail. Be firm. Ask for what you want. PM me if this does not work out especially well for you.
Of course you could just hire one of my brethren to just bring their discounts with them and paint your new house in a spectacular way. I know a guy from this site who admits to having crabs and paints with no pants! How close are you to Maryland? He is also a paper hanger.
Seriously, new house and all must be really exciting and something I suspect you worked to get. Do you really have the energy and time to DIY the painting before all the furniture and floor coverings are in place. Even someone outrageously expensive like I was will have it done for you at closing and move in.
How much does it typically run to have an entire 2000sqft home painted in Silicon Valley area? (http://brookfieldnorcal.com/wp-conte...estbury-4b.png)
We would consider paying someone to have it done, as it is way easier, but it really depends on how much more it would be vs just doing it ourselves.
As far as the supplies, the problem is that for example, the Purdy rollers: SW wanted the same price for 2 of them as Lowes wanted for 4. (Now that gap lowers a lot during their sales, but its still more expensive)
Paint is one of those things that most people think of as "paint is paint" and buy behr or whatever box store brand is on sale, which isn't a lot cheaper than sherwin williams when they have a sale. But everyone I have talked to that is used to using behr and I get them to go to sherwin williams(including me) is very glad they did spend the few extra dollars. You just bought a brand new house, good paint is only going to cost a couple hundred dollars extra over behr and you will be so much happier. It covers better with less splatter and will last a lot longer.
It looks like he(she) is on the other coast.
I travel if the price is right :whistling2:
A best friend used to develop and build very nice highend residences in the Bay Area. PM me and I will make the connection. I know he knows who is still doing nice interior work out that way.
My accountant still represents legal Hispanics that painted properties out your way. Including mine. Again, PM me and I will send info on how to connect.
I would add on the walls you are going to use the bold color on at the least have your primer tinted. I have seen some bold colors like red and dark blue take 4 or 5 coats to cover over white. And I keep seeing coupons on this website for SW 40 and 50% off maybe print them off and take them to BM and see if they will honor them.
To the original poster-
When you check out these paints , realize that they all have different lines of paint with different characteristics and price points. They also don't behave exactly alike in using them.
In BM- I would use Ultra Spec flat or Muresco for ceilings,
"Ben " or Regal Select for walls
and for the hard to cover colors like red, orange and yellow, I would get Aura. Costs more, but will get there in fewer coats. See if the colors you choose are recommended for tinted primers.
Thanks for all the info! We have decided to get Regal and start off with the 3/8 roller. The 3/8 are all cheaper, but we will switch up the 1/2 if we find we need to.
We actually found a BM dealer willing to give us contractor pricing on the paint, which makes it very reasonably priced.
Waste of $, even if cheaper.You really need at least a 1/2, time is $ and you will spend twice as much time with the usless 3/8 as you will a 1/2. We who recommend this have been painting (and getting paid) for decades, we know stuff.:yes:
Get a quality 1/2 or two, use them for the day, wash em out and use em for a week or more

With one week left until graduation, I had my most challenging patient-care conversation since starting PT school. One of my current patients, whom I happened to work with in inpatient rehabilitation during my previous clinical rotation, is a very complex case. He suffered an anoxic brain injury that unfortunately was complicated by a transfemoral amputation with a very short residual limb. On top of that, his hospital course was protracted and he has a lot of other secondary complications as a result.
The conversation I'm referencing had to do with adaptive equipment and options for wheeled mobility. The family's initial goals were to progress to the point where prosthetic training could be considered. Despite multiple setbacks we made some great functional gains during therapy, but unfortunately not related to standing balance. Faced with the reality that the most appropriate form of wheeled mobility needed to be addressed, I sat down with the family to discuss the available options.
This was the first time that the family was told directly their son would require a wheelchair for functional community negotiation. Prior to this point, prosthetic training was such a focus that I think we lost track of long-term decision making. I take the blame for this. In hindsight if I had voiced my recommendations, I would have told them that a wheelchair would likely be required. We trialed manual propulsion, but my clinical recommendation was power from a functionality standpoint. In the end, I think the family felt like we went from talking about prosthetics directly to powered mobility. I can understand why they were upset, and I wish I had handled the situation more effectively.
I had long conversations with my coworkers about how I could have changed and improved this entire situation, and the common thread was that early transparent communication is key. Even when it's difficult to say and may not directly align with the family's perception, opening those doors at the start results in a better and less upsetting experience for everyone involved. Lesson learned.

Hi Lauren! I'm Katrina and I'm also a DPT student. Thank you for this particular post as I have also experienced a situation in which I've had to redirect the functional goals for my patient, and it's a hard place to be. I had a patient also in the in-patient rehabilitation setting who had Guillain-Barré Syndrome. She was making really great progress physically, but was struggling emotionally with not being with her family daily. Our original plan of care was set for 3 weeks, but with the great progress, we communicated with our patient that we wanted to extend her stay an extra week to continue intensive therapy to maximize her functional gains before returning home. This was brought up at the beginning of the third week, allowing the patient ample time to think it through and see her gains but also the continued mobility limitations that she needed to address before returning home (she was still using a slide board to transfer and she has multiple kids under age 10). However, in spite of the time and reasoning provided, the patient was firmly decided in going home at the end of the 3 weeks and nothing and no one could change that. So I want to let you know that even with early, clear communication, the situation doesn't always change. I'm sure that you still provided the best possible care for your patient and sometimes that's all you can do! It's really great to reflect and learn what you can change for next time though so thank you for reminding me to do that in my future career!
Hey Lauren! Thanks so much for all of your blog posts, as a DPT student I have enjoyed reading through your many posts! I can relate to how you feel here, as I am going through a similar situation with a patient on my last clinical rotation in an in-patient rehab center. My patient essentially has an incomplete spinal cord injury at T4 from metastatic cancer, with slight returning movement and feeling below the injury. My patient rightly has the dream that he will walk again, possibly influenced some by his oncologists high hopes, but his returns simply are not functional and cannot support ambulation. I am struggling when to draw the line and really talk with him about expectations and functional mobility. Your post has encouraged me, and reminded me that early and clear communication is best. Thank you!

DEAR AMY: I feel very bad about my brother. He has problems, and I do not know how to help him. Last night he called me and asked for money. I am broke, but I want to help him. I do not have the money, but my husband does. I need to ask my husband if I can borrow $500 from him, but I am afraid to ask because I know he will say no.
Do you think it is a good idea to take the money without his knowledge? I feel desperate to help my brother.-- Desperate Sister
DEAR DESPERATE: You know it's a terrible idea to take money without your husband's knowledge, mainly because, well -- it's stealing. So cross that option off your list.
Furthermore, it is really your brother's problem, and your response to him should be straightforward: "I don't have any money to give you, but my husband might. If you want to borrow it, you'll have to ask him."
DEAR AMY: Our grandson's first birthday is coming up, and we have received a list of items his mother has decreed he should receive for presents. That totally takes the joy out of our gift-giving. We like picking out presents.
Should we comply and let her set the stage from year one to dictate what we give?-- Frustrated Grandparents
DEAR GRANDPARENTS: Approach this by giving this mother the benefit of the doubt. Many new parents have a natural desire to control every aspect of their baby's life, but real life (and other people) will teach them that this level of control simply isn't possible.
Your grandson's mother might have thought this list would provide a helpful boost for people who weren't sure what to give this baby or who didn't know what books, jammies or stuffed toys the child already possessed.
However, let's stipulate that giving to a 1-year-old is not rocket science and that you don't need or want suggestions. Give the child whatever you want to give him. There is no need to reference the list or explain your reasons for not adhering to it.
If the child's mother has the temerity to question why you haven't chosen something from her list, you can say, "Thank you for the gift ideas, but we decided to go another way." Be kind and friendly, and remember that you are celebrating a child, not squabbling with his mother.
DEAR AMY: You answered a tough letter from "Issues," whose future mother-in-law refused to meet her and didn't welcome her in the family home. I don't agree with you that the best solution is for the son to reject his mother and put the marriage at the center of their lives.
My daughter-in-law completely rejected my husband and me, talking relentlessly against us behind our back so that to "cleave to his spouse" our son has rejected us. The circle is tightening as we are now prevented from seeing the grandchildren.
What is necessary is that the son speak to his mother, making it clear that it is not acceptable for her to reject his bride. She must relate considerately out of respect for him if she wants to continue their relationship.
If she is so controlling that she would likely reject anyone he wants to marry, this would make it even more essential that he stand up to her. It is standing up to his mother (or in my case, his wife) that will give him the maturity to be an adult and a good spouse.-- Sad Mother-in-law
DEAR SAD: I agree with your excellent advice. But I didn't suggest that this son must reject his mother, only that he would have to if the mother couldn't accept his wife and forge some sort of relationship with her.

L1: Does your brother have some kind of addiction issue (drugs, gambling, etc) or is he just down on his luck? If it's the latter, talk to your husband about the idea of helping him out. If it's the former, don't be an enabler.
L2: This is practically a gift registry for a birthday party. Tres tacky.
L3: MILs vs. DILs... ugh.

L1: Do you realize that by giving him money, you're HURTING him, not HELPING him? Sounds like your husband knew it'd be a smart idea to keep your money separate.
L2: Was it a "you must buy from this list!" or was it "Here are some gift ideas in case you need some guidance"? Andyes, you can "Go another way" with the gift, but take into consideration the space that the parents have, and always give a gift receipt so the gift can be returned (they may receive duplicates).
L3: Your DIL sounds controlling and manipulative. I feel for the kids.

The irony is that when the kids grow up, the mother will insist in staying in their lives, and the thought that her kids should cleave to their spouse and leave her will simply never enter her head.

Lw1: Uh...no. Don't take the money without him knowing or you will have problems too. And exactly what kinds of problems does your brother have? That's kind of an important piece of the puzzle.
LW2: What Amy said. You don't need to stick to the list if you don't wantto. It's not a royal decree. But many people(like me) prefer to have a list. Tell me what you want. I get no joy out of trying to figure out what someone wants.
LW3: "If she is so controlling that she would likely reject anyone he wants to marry, this would make it even more essential that he stand up to her."
If she is so controlling that she would reject anyone, then I say she made her bed and now she must lie in it.

LW1: I think your husband will cause you far more than $500 dollars worth of misery if he finds out you gave away that amount of money without discussing it with him.
Thats really disrespectful and untrustworthy. If he's like me, it would take a long time to earn his trust back too.
LW2: You can do whatever you want, but its nice if everyone is flexible and works together. My parents and my in=laws usually run some ideas by us and we offer our thoughts, but ultimately its their decision.
LW3: If what you say is true, you should have raised your son to have a spine. However, maybe you need to consider your own behavior. Sounds like to some extent you and your dil got in a pi$sing match, and you lost. As I said in response to LW2, its nice if everyone approaches things in the spirit of being flexible and working together. Even where one person is not, such as your dil, there are usually more fruitful ways to respond to pig-headedness, than doing so in kind. One can even do this without being a doormat.

LW1: Because you didn't tell us why he needs the money, I'm guessing it's because he's a junkie or gambler. Don't go down that road with him by stealing from your own husband.
LW2: Buy what you want and include a gift receipt.
LW3: There's two sides to every story; I'd like to hear you DIL's before I feel sorry for you.

L3: These things are never what they seem on the face of it and I'm not interested in getting involved in the drama.
#11 Nov 9, 2012
I've seen too many cases in which both the adult child + spouse had many and valid reasons for completely separating themselves from a particular set of grandparents. And I'm sure that most of those set of grandparents has a viewpoint and outrage about it that is similar to this letter.

Add the lack of insight that anything was wrong
#13 Nov 9, 2012
1. By all means, feed your brother's shortcomings with deceit.
2. Give what you want and tell mommy you had it before she gave you the list, and you were sure she would not want you making unnecessary trips to return a gift you already had.
3. Do not care. If you can't deal with stuff like this, how are you going to deal with problems withn your own marriage?

L1: Sure Einstein, go ahead and give him your husband's money. It's not hard to see the resemblance betweeen you and your trailer park brother.
L2: I'll buy whatever I want to, not what you decree the kid gets.
L3: Like others above, I think there's a whole lot to knowing the DIL's side. Some people are such a-holes to their in-laws that it defies logic.

About 6 weeks ago one of my nieces hit me up for 500.00. I had it, it was mine.
The husband and I live totally separate lives, different residences, separate bills, separate money, etc. Might as well not be married, but I digress. I still talked to him about sending it before I did. Not because he had *any* say in the matter, but just to get his opinion.
I can't imagine taking JOINT money and giving it away like that though. If someone did that to me, I would be PISSED!
She is paying me back. Per our agreement. At 6:30 tonight. She already texted me this morning to tell me it will be on its way as soon as she gets off work. I didn't even have to ask.:)

Twice, my aunt got written in as mayor for her town. She also was the school secretary (the only one, for the whole district--very small town). She was Catholic and pro-life. More than once, a high schooler would show up at her house and ask to borrow $200 (back in the '70s). She said she never asked any questions, and the money was always paid back, and she decided it was better to not think of what the money was for, but that a kid in trouble was a kid in trouble.

In Champaign Urbana in 1969 it cost more than $200, and you had to go to Kansas City to do it. We raised the money for my roommate and my bf (the only one in the group with a car) drove her to and from the airport. But your point is well taken and kudos to your aunt

Good for your aunt! I never really ask anyone what they need the money for. So what? If you need it you need it.
I do know why my niece needed it though. She was moving and had it in her head that the rent (first, last, deposits) was 3100.00 and figured out at the 11th hour it was 3600.00 and she couldn't just come up with the extra 500.00 after already packing and storing and paying the movers, etc., etc., etc., by the next day. So, I Western Unioned (yes, that's a word...ok not really, but I'm calling it a word) to her.
Of course that was right on the heels (like a week) of paying my other niece's ticket for her, to the tune of 1257.00, so I've been a little broke the past few weeks. That money's coming on Tuesday. I know I'll get it, she lives in my house.:-|

See all reviews for this product Fly 2017 Kinetic Pro Helmet - Shorty Replica Motocrosser77 - Texas, USA Great helmet for a great price "I bought this helmet for my son and he just loves it. The fit was perfect if you take measurements and use the sizing chart. Haven't had it very long so not sure how well it will hold up in the long term but he loves every part of the helmet from the cool colors and design to the way it feels on his head. The price was awesome as well. Would definitely recommend if you are on a budget and would like a great hemlet."
