"Code Red" Rally Tomorrow in D.C.
I literally can't wait to see how many Tea Partiers turn out for the "grassroots," Sarah Palin, Fox "News," RNC-endorsed "Code Red" rally tomorrow in D.C.
More on the RNC's hand-holding of this alleged "grasssroots movement" here.
Don Young (R-AK) Caves to His "Constituents"
Don Young Bucks GOP Earmark Ban.
Translation: House Republican Don Young of Alaska, whose party claims to be against "earmarks" and "special interests," caved today:
I am elected to serve my constituents, and as long as they continue to request federal funding for their projects of interest, then I will continue to do my best to accommodate them.
I can't wait to hear more about Young's "constituents" and their "projects of interest." I'm guessing the "constituents" and "projects" align with ExxonMobil more than they do with Joe and Jane Doe in Nome or Anchorage.
Bravo: When Does a "Girl" Become a Woman?
Oh Jeez. A few minutes ago I made the mistake of channel surfing. I landed on Bravo's "Real Housewives of New York." One of the "real housewives" was entertaining her former maid in a backyard sit-down — a weathered table, green grass, blue sky, a breeze and lemonade — when, while essentially saying good-bye, she said, "I had to hire another girl."
Okay. That's it. When grown women are "girls" I've had enough. I mean, the "liberal media" refers to 15-year-old boys as "men," but 20, 25, 30, 40-year-old women are "girls?"
A puppy becomes a dog after about two years. A filly becomes a mare after three or four years. A kitten becomes a cat after one year. But female humans are "girls" forever?
No. Bye-bye Bravo.
Reminder: Tea Party Rally to "Kill Obamacare" Tomorrow in D.C.
(I wonder what people around the world who have universal health care and who don't give a second thought to paying for medical services think about people in this country actually protesting our feeble attempt to implement something like what they've got. They must think we're absolutely insane to mobilize against our own interests.)
The Tea Party — a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Republican National Committee
Yo. Hello. "Liberal media," where are you? Anybody home? The Tea Party is a "grassroots organization?" I don't think so: RNC Blacks Out "Paid for by RNC" Line on Tea Party Signs.
Glenn Beck Uses Inflammatory Language in Response to the Rev. Jim Wallis
Glenn Beck has a new target in the Rev. Jim Wallis, who objected to Beck asking people to leave churches that advocate for "social justice." After Wallis wrote to Beck on Friday, "proposing that the two of us sit down together and have an open and public discussion on what social justice really means and how Christians are called to engage in the struggle for justice," Beck responded today with this:
So Jim, I just wanted to pass this on to you. In my time I will respond — my time, well, kind of like God's time, might be a day, might be a week to you, I'm not sure. But I'm going to get to it in my time, not your time. So you go ahead and you continue to do your protest thing, and that's great. I love it. But just know — the hammer is coming, because little do you know, for eight weeks, we've been compiling information on you, your cute little organization, and all the other cute little people that are with you. And when the hammer comes, it's going to be hammering hard and all through the night, over and over…
I'm not going to dance around here: If you ask me, Glenn Beck wouldn't mind if one of his crazy viewers took his "hammering" talk to mean more than that.

Throwers Lead the Way at Pomona-Pitzer Invitational
Related Links
CLAREMONT, Calif - Apr. 14 - The track and field team spent another weekend in California as the Thunderbirds competed at the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational on Saturday. Several athletes broke into Southern Utah's top-ten records while also qualifying for the upcoming Big Sky Conference Outdoor Championship.
Jennika Wright led the way for the throwers with a first-place finish in the shot put and second-place finish in the discus. Wright's shot put mark of 46-2 improves her previous fourth-place Southern Utah record by four inches, while her discus mark of 150-5 ranks sixth in the school records and qualifies her for a berth at the conference championship. Rylee Mulitalo and Whitney Singleton followed Wright in the shot put, placing second and third with respective marks of 44-2.75 and 43-4.25.
Mulitalo also recorded a fifth-place mark of 136-11 in the discus throw, while Sadi Hoyt led the women in the hammer throw with a third-place mark of 160-10. Whitney Fairbanks represented the women in the javelin with a mark of 127-10, placing fifth in the event.
Jayson Kovar led the male throwers at Pomona-Pitzer, tying for third place in the shot put with a toss of 51-5.5 and placing ninth in the discus throw with a mark of 160-10.
The Thunderbird sprinters were led once again by Shaun Murray and Preston Myers as each athlete placed fourth in his respective event. Murray's 100-meter time of 10.49 ranks sixth in the school records and qualifies for the Big Sky championship while Myers' 200-meter time of 21.36 falls only 0.6 seconds behind his top-ten record of 21.30. Both sprinters also raced in the 4x100-meter relay, along with Kodai Kusano and Jeff Alley, and the team placed fourth with a fifth-best Southern Utah time of 41.43. Southern Utah's 4x400-meter relay team placed third with a time of 3:18.95 and included Murray, Tyson Boyer, Dallin Tavoian and Arnold Carrillo.
Shaye Maurer led the sprinters on the women's side, finished seventh in the 100-meter dash with a personal best time of 11.96. Maurer's time also qualifies for the conference championship and ties for second place in Southern Utah's all-time records. Denaya Morin, Mayra Franco, Lindsay Terry and T'Keyah Johnson made up the women's 4x100-meter relay team, which placed third with a time of 47.58.
Kirsten Bradford led the distance team with a third-place 1,500-meters time of 4:29.32, ranking sixth in Southern Utah's record books. She was followed by Danielle Jewkes (4:30.71) in fifth place and Jamie Smith (4:34.78) in 13th place. Smith's time also qualifies for a berth at the championship. Kaylee Coates placed eighth in the 800-meters with a time of 2:13.01, followed by Aubrey Bryson in 11th place with a qualifying time of 2:14.44.
The men were led by Ryan Barrus in the 1,500-meter run with a seventh-place time of 3:53.49. Barrus also broke into the school records, ranking 10th in the event. Jon Lee also recorded a top Southern Utah finish at Pomona-Pitzer, placing ninth in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:53.59.
Stephen Wilson and Shaye Maurer led the jumpers in Saturday's meet, competing in the men's long jump and women's high jump respectively. Wilson placed seventh in the long jump with a mark of 22-5.75, while Maurer tied for seventh in the high jump with a height of 5-3.
The T-Birds will be back in action next weekend as the team travels to the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif. The meet is set to take place Apr. 18-20.

Posted on 06/10/2013 5:45:26 AM PDT by cotton1706
There is rebellion afoot in the United States Senate. A new breed of conservatives and libertarians are loosed, unconcerned with The New York Times, unfettered by back-bench rank and unintimidated by Washington politics.
Elected over the past three years, Republican Sens. Rand Paul, Mike Lee and Ted Cruz have had a meteoric impact in Washington, soaring to grassroots stardom, crashing into the Democratic majority and raining down on the old bulls of the Republican Party.
Ads by GoogleDubbed Wacko Birds by top Republican John McCain, these three wear the senior Arizona senators scorn as a badge of honor.
The Democrats and Republican leadership are furious. And it isnt simply because these young upstarts exist its because theyre scoring real points. Using the difficult and arcane rules of the Senate to their advantage, they have several victories under their belts that have earned them the respect and support of the conservative grassroots. And despite the ire of both parties and both parties well-connected allies in the press the Wacko Birds continue undeterred.
Their tradition is an old one. Before their arrival in the Senate, now-Heritage Foundation President Jim DeMint held the torch, using the rule book to hold fast on conservative principles and frustrate the leadership of both parties. Before DeMint, Sen. Jesse Helms was the rock, twisting Republican arms and forcing Democrats to publicly vote for their agendas. But today is different. Today, the conservative voice isnt alone in the wilderness, nor is it even limited to these three: The Wacko Birds are finding allies across the GOP, with even Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell rushing to their side when politically convenient.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
"By leading the charge to the Senate floor, demanding difficult votes and utilizing the minoritys filibuster power, the three have thrown a wrench in Senate Majority Leader Harry Reids Senate steamroller."
"one senior Wacko Bird adviser told TheDC. McCain has really been digging in, fighting against Cruz, Paul on these issues. He seems to be leading the charge against us. That the guy was the 2008 nomination, it shows that theres just a huge division in the party.
"McConnell just hates Rand Paul, another senior Wacko Bird staffer told TheDC. He and Sen. Lindsey Graham are frustrated that were mucking up the system and breaking with how they want things done.
"McCain is the embodiment of the establishment, one senior Wacko Bird staffer told TheDC, and theres no better depiction of that than Mr. McCain taking to the floor to defend the old ways of doing things against his own party. Why? Because theyre the ones who run it. And the media is complicit, Club for Growth Communications Director Brian Keller told TheDC: Theyre jumping on the pile-on because they miss the good old days when the Senate would come together and decide how much theyre going to grow government. Now they are being held accountable, and thats clearly frustrating.
Good post.
FR is lately overrun with summer soldiers and sunshine patriots. Good to see some good news.
If these guys are "Wacko Birds", then we need a whole flock of them in DC! McLame can go to hell!
Isn't that sweet? McCain took time off from helping
al Qaeda to called Americans Patriots
by the derogatory name "Wacko Bird".
McCain got the idea looking in his mirror.
I'd rather be a "Wacko Bird", than a Traitor Snake!
I'd say Angry Birds is more appropriate. They certainly are the mortal enemy of Pork in the budget. . .
"That the guy was the 2008 nomination, it shows that theres just a huge division in the party.
Indeed there is. Who will win is an open question, that needs a positive answer.
Since the so called mainstream seems to migrate more toward the democrat way of doing things, one might conclude this is an open and shut case.
If not for the voices of the Wacko Birds. Bless them!
McCain is the real Manchurian Candidate. Brain washed in North Vietnam to the point that he came back and poses as a republican when he's really a democrat.
"McCain is the real Manchurian Candidate. Brain washed in North Vietnam to the point that he came back and poses as a republican when hes really a democrat."
Post of the year nomination.
If they insist on calling the real conservatives like Paul, Lee, and Cruz this Wacko Bird name, it's time to bring back the Moss-back monicker for the liberal Repubs like McCain, McConnel, et al. Moss-back is certainly more descriptive name
Mccain and Grahamnesty voted for the Reid Senate bill to enforce states sales taxes for internet purchases.
I live in O Malley-land Maryland where he raised that sales tax from 4 to 6 %, a 50% increase, which we avoid by shopping online.
And those two traitors voted to be tax collectors for Martin O'Malley.
I dispise them.
Then the American sheeple voted to neuter our military for at least the next generation in November.
We no longer have the choice between the world's finest military who can project our power anywhere in the world and one which can (maybe?) defend our interests closer to home.
Our current options are between a military which can (maybe?) defend our interest closer to home and one which can be used by the regime in power to maintain that power. Call me a peacenik if you must, but that's the facts.
Clowns like McCain swell with pride when they hear themselves referred to as "Maverick" or "Hawk".
I'm going to start calling them pack mules and vultures.
We need T-shirts that say "Proud Supporter of the Wacko Birds"
My kingdom for Rand Paul supporting a conservative primary challenger to McConnell. It is long past time that conservatives of convenience like McConnell were reminded that there are real consequences for aiding and abetting Democrats.
"We need T-shirts that say Proud Supporter of the Wacko Birds
Sounds like a winner to me.
This is defined as "bipartisanship."
The Californiator Sales tax in 2013 is 7.5% with the various cities/counties allowed to add an extra 1.5% to a max of 9 %.
So anyone out here, who doesn't try to maximize sales tax savings with the internet, is a liberal, a math failure or a rich idiot.
Liberals take advantage of that too, but at the same time support ending it.
Its like Obama claiming he wants a bill that stops Holder from Spying on the media.
The libs here all avoid the taxes, but they support Dems who trying to get rid of that loophole.

the Cost Competitiveness of the Manufacturing Sector in China and India: An Industry and Regional Perspective
This paper focuses on comparisons of productivity, (unit) labor cost and industry-level competitiveness for the manufacturing sector of China and India. We first provide a comparison between India and China using a broad international perspective. We find that China has increased its labor productivity to a level above that of India, but due to a somewhat higher compensation level, China is still somewhat at a disadvantage in terms of unit labor cost in manufacturing relative to India. In the second half of the paper, we make an analysis of industry level differences in productivity, labor compensation and unit labor costs at state and province level in the two countries from the mid 1990s to the early 2000s. We find rapid declines in unit labor cost across industries and provinces in China, but increases in many instances in India. This suggests that productivity and compensation growth have become much more aligned across regions in China whereas this is not (yet) the case in India. We relate these results to differences in the implementation of market reforms between the two countries and removal of barriers to resource mobility eradicating inefficient manufacturing activity.

Girls and Their Comics
Finding a Female Voice in Comic Book Narrative
Jacqueline Danziger-Russell
In America, comics and comic books have often been associated with adolescent male fantasy—muscle-bound superheroes and scantily clad women. Nonetheless, comics have also been read and enjoyed by girls. While there have been many strong representations of women throughout their history, the comics of today have evolved and matured, becoming a potent medium in which to explore the female experience, particularly that of girlhood and adolescence.
Girls and Their Comics: Finding a Female Voice in Comic Book Narrative
, Jacqueline Danziger-Russell contends that comics have a unique place in the representation of female characters. She discusses the overall history of the comic book, paying special attention to girls' comics, showing how such works relate to a female point of view. While examining the concept of visual literacy, Danziger-Russell asserts that comics are an excellent space in which the marginalized voices of girls may be expressed. This volume also includes a chapter on manga (Japanese comics), which explains the genesis of girls' comics in Japan and their popularity with girls in the United States.
Including interviews with librarians, comic creators, and girls who read comics and manga,
Girls and Their Comics
is an important examination of the growing interest in comic books among young females and will appeal to a wide audience, including literary theorists, teachers, librarians, popular culture and women's studies scholars, and comic book historians.

Conclusion: Growing Up with Comics and Comics Growing Up
While comic books have historically been associated with boys and young men, they are finding a huge fan base among girls and young women in today's popular culture. In this volume author Jacqueline Danziger-Russell explores how the latest comic books have a unique representation of female characters and have a distinctively female point of view....A lot of research has gone into the making of the volume, including interviews with librarians, comic creators, and avid fans of the literature. It will be of interest to librarians and teachers interested in literacy and the reading interests of girls, popular culture theorists, and comic book historians.
American Reference Books Annual
This academic study resulted from the author's research at London's University of Roehampton and National Centre for Research in Children's Literature. The initial chapter provides an overview of the format and then continues with a brief history of women's literature from Victorian "Penny Dreadfuls" to early female cartoon characters such as Sheena, Wonder Woman, and Veronica. The concept of visual literacy as taught through picture books serves as a point of comparison; Danziger-Russell defines visual literacy and explains why picture books are important in developing this skill and how it relates to comic-book elements. That relationship serves as the basis for an extensive analysis of Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki's Skim (Groundwood, 2008), Ted Naihef's 'Courtney Crumrin' series (Oni Press), and Trina Robbins and Anne Timmons's 'Go Girl' series (Dark Horse). Various types of graphic-novel narratives are defined, with examples from several picture books and comics. One chapter is devoted to the appeal of manga for female readers and includes a history of manga, American interest in Japanese comics, and the influence of manga on American comics. There is also a brief discussion of Web comics and an in-depth analysis of three graphic novels: Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis (Pantheon, 2003), Brian Talbot's The Tale of One Bad Rat (Dark Horse, 1994), and Vera Brosgol's Anya's Ghost (First Second, 2011). With the exception of manga, the author effectively uses an ample selection of images from a variety of comics to illustrate salient points. This title may serve as a supplemental resource, particularly for those who are less familiar with the comic narrative.
School Library Journal
In this history of comics dating back to antiquity, Danziger-Russell weaves an analysis that focuses on the period from the turn of the 20th century to the contemporary moment in the US. She analyzes production, content, interpretation, and readership to explore comics as a hybrid cultural product that combines literature and art, and she attempts to figure out their gender dimensions. The textual analyses include readings of early Little Lulu strips and recent manga and digital blogs. Readers learn that comic book stores are masculinized spaces; understandably, few females frequent comic stores, and they form only a small part of the readership. Despite the existence, in some comics, of a female-oriented if not outright feminist perspective, the author identifies a range of female themes, characters, and readers. She includes interviews with writers who, while not setting out to produce gender-inclusive comics, do create female-centered narratives that appeal to a minority female audience. She concludes that the new platforms hold great potential for attracting girls and women to this narrative form. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and general readers.
Girls and Their Comics
, Jacqueline Danzigner-Russel finally gives comics-loving girls (and women) a voice as readers and writers of this genre. She writes that her intention is to 'explore and explode the myths surrounding the field of comic books, their implied readership, and the gendering of the field" (2). This may sound like a lot to tackle in one book, but Danziger-Russel does a solid job covering all of that ground. ... It is important to acknowledge the accessibility of this text; there is a very wide range of scholars, teachers, librarians, and comics enthusiasts who will find it compelling. It will be very useful to library collections and researchers focused on media studies, comics history, girlhood studies, and contemporary children's literature. . . Danziger-Russell's book is truly a vital addition to the field of comics studies, as it documents an area of the comics industry and fan base that is thriving, but what has never before been covered at length. . . . Danziger-Russell certainly has opened the dialogue with this book.
Children's Literature Association Quarterly
This book is an academic analysis of the evolution of the comic book from a female perspective, that is, comic books written for girls and women and the depiction of women in comic books that are sometimes seen as associated with adolescent male fantasies. ...

Below is a list of the frequently asked questions related to the tag choosen.
Ocean acidification occurs when carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to produce carbonic acid. This raises surrounding acidity levels and lowers carbonate ion levels, making it harder for oysters and other shellfish to produce the calcium carbonate needed to form their shells.
A number of factors have contributed to the decline in the Chesapeake Bay's oyster population, including over-harvesting, disease (like MSX and Dermo), sedimentation and poor water quality.
Oysters prefer brackish and salty water. A salinity range between 10-28 parts per thousand (ppt) provides the best conditions for oysters. Oysters can die if salinity drops below 5 ppt for extended periods of time.
Some fish and crabs may be able to swim away from areas without enough oxygen. But other animals – such as oysters, clams and worms – are not able to swim away, and can die if there is not enough oxygen around them.

This is so silly and pointless, but it really bothers me. Drives me nuts. I know there are waaaaaaay more important things to worry about. But anyway, it's when people say they're from a city, when they're actually from a random suburb outside of the city and don't actually know the city well at all or really even visit the city more than a few times per year.
I live in Boston. IN Boston. I grew up in the suburbs about 20 miles away. I would never say I grew up "in Boston". I didn't. But I do live in Boston. I've lived here for years now. I have so many facebook friends from the suburbs, who I literally almost never see because they never come into the city, and when they do they only go to the most obnoxious touristy downtown places. But then they post all kinds of things about how cool it is to be a "Boston Girl" or are talking about how tough "us Bostonians" are, etc. It just drives me nuts! You live out in the boonies, you don't live in Boston! You're not from Boston! You barely even ever visit Boston! You have no idea how to get around the city (by foot, car, or subway). You don't know the layout of the neighborhoods, and the different defining characteristics, other than random sayings here and there. You don't know the bars and restaurants. You're from Massachusetts. Not Boston. Why is that so hard to face up to?!
For the record, I believe people do this regarding all major cities, and it's just as annoying. It's not a Boston thing....that's just my example because I live here.

Miguel Cotto Speaks!
By Karl Freitag
Two-division world champion Miguel Cotto (32-1, 26 KOs) spoke to reporters today from his training camp from Caguas, Puerto Rico. Miguel is in his last 10 days of training for his February 21 rumble with top-rated contender Michael Jennings (34-1, 16 KOs) for the vacant WBO welterweight title at Madison Square Garden. The big question on everyone's mind today, however, didn't concern Jennings. It wasn't long before Miguel was asked whether he believes Margarito used the illegal handwraps in their fight last summer. "You know what? They are the only ones that can answer that question," he answered. "I can't answer that question. The fans might have a question about that, but I don't. Margarito had a great night and I'll leave it at that." Cotto does have a very strong opinion about Margarito possibly fighting in Mexico while his one year ban is effect in the United States. "If it's up to me, I think we should all abide by the rule that was made. If he's suspended for one year, he should be suspended everywhere. I don't think he should fight. I don't think it's right for him to go and fight somewhere else. If he can't fight in the United States, he shouldn't be able to fight at all."
As for Margarito's claims he was unaware of the illegal pads, Cotto doesn't buy it. "All I know is that anyone who gets their hands wrapped, we know what's in them. Every boxer knows if there's something different in their hands or not. I think as a fighter you would know if you have anything in there or not.
"You go in there in the ring thinking that you're playing on the same level and you're all doing the same thing. This is a sport, not a slaughter house. This is about fighting at the best of your abilities at the capacity you have….I just think we should all go in the ring and be ready to fight with what we have, our own abilites and our own preparations."
As for problems outside the ring facing Antonio Margarito and Shane Mosley, Cotto commented, "I intend to stake my claim as the best welterweight in the world in 2009. I want to prove to everyone that I am the best welterweight in the world. Mosley and Margarito have their own problems, they have their own issues. They have to respond to that. All I know is that I'm ready to fight. They're adults, they know what they did, whatever they did, I'm just going on with my career. There are plenty of good fights out there for me to demonstrate how good I am at welterweight."
Cotto stressed that the fight coming up on February 21 against Michael Jennings is very important. "I'm coming off of a loss," he stated. "My career is at a point where I thought it was going very well. Now, after the loss, I want to get back to the same level. That's what I intend to do with this fight — show everyone with a convincing win that I'm ready to get back to the level I was before July.
Cotto compared Jenning to his previous opponents Gianluca Branco and Otkay Urkal. "I think the styles are the same. I think we're facing the same type of fighter we fought before. We have to be ready to engage and beat this guy."

What Really should I Glance For In a Large Screen Tv set?
Thinking of buying a considerable display screen Television set although not certain what attributes to search for and what elements to take into consideration when acquiring just one? Once you visit buy a considerable display screen Television, the worth is just one of the components being deemed. large screen TV reviews other features and factors this kind of as screen dimensions, your viewing choices, the display screen know-how and so forth, that should be taken into consideration right before you head for the income sign up.
What follows are a few of your most significant issues that you'll want to reply just before you decide.
1. Choosing the proper Display screen Sizing
It is your seating length that determines the standard of your viewing knowledge. It would not certainly be a issue to sit down at a length of eight ft from a Tv set that is definitely 46-50 inch wide, if all you watch is HDTV visuals. Nevertheless, the very fact is that it will choose one more five great years to convert everything is broadcasted into HDTV broadcasting. Therefore, to make guaranteed that photographs you enjoy in your substantial display Tv are sharp, the best length that ought to be involving you and your Television set set must be 3 instances the diagonal screen measurement. That means in the event you are thinking about a 60-inch diagonal display screen, then you need to be equipped to take a seat in a length of 15 toes within the Television set established to be able to take pleasure in watching standard Television. Whether it is an HDTV, then a distance of 10 feet would also function.
two. The television Depth
The depth of the Tv established, actually, components into its cost tag. The thinner it really is, the more difficult it gets to create a Tv set with Substantial Definition excellent. For that cause, this is a on condition that like a Television set set gets thinner and thinner, the price goes bigger and better. Flat monitor TVs seem awesome and in addition in good shape nicely into any place, but except and until eventually you have enough cash, you could not choose to buy one.
3. Letterbox or Widescreen
Research clearly show that guys prefer widescreen Television set whilst gals a letterbox fashion. While it would mainly depend on your choice and choice, it would be wise to realize that just about all on the videos as of late are shot within a widescreen format, whilst the Tv displays are still filmed inside a letterbox format. In terms of superiority is anxious, widescreen is definitely a winner as well as in the in close proximity to upcoming it truly is established to become the new typical. So, in the event you are imagining prolonged phrase you realize that is the higher selection.
4. Hd, Liquid crystal display, DLP or CRT?
Appears far too specialized, won't it? Properly CRT, DLP and Liquid crystal display are what generate pictures with your display. Hd or High Definition, because the identify implies, means how superior the definition can go.
The CRT is the oldest technological know-how, likely whatever you have witnessed in frequent TVs at your own home. CRT is large and hulking along with a substantial aged technological know-how. Having said that, it's their small cost that's their advertising aspect. Liquid crystal display and DLP, however more expensive, are certainly an even better choice.
So far as distinction between Liquid crystal display and DLP is anxious, it really is mostly the cost, with Liquid crystal display remaining dearer. DLPs are inclined to get dimmer at extreme viewing angles; having said that, the picture quality is superb just like Liquid crystal display. The draw back to purchasing both of these systems is usually that in case the bulb burns out it really is rather a costly affair to replace them.
At last, the High definition; the High definition is offered for all three. That which you must know is the fact that Significant Definition is still not the standard, but however a smart invest in as progressively it can be taking over.
In a very nutshell, should you have enough revenue to spare, it will certainly be a good concept to purchase a Higher Definition Television set as Hd is the imminent future of technological innovation.

Hi I am hoping I might get a little clarity from this forum. I found this forum while searching passive agressive behaviour. Anyway I'll try not to make this a novel.
Iv been in a relationship for 3 years and 8 months ago we had a baby girl. Prior to getting pregnant our relationship was great and a major part of my attraction to my OH was how he was happy to let me do what I wanted and he was so relaxed.
When I got pregnant there started the changes. If he did not like something I would not get spoken to. If I asked a direct question while he was having one if his "moods" I would get snapped at. If I ask what is wrong, or why he was upset then I would be told nothing was wrong and I had the problem cause I was asking him.
After I had our daughter the behaviour got worse. It's really hard to describe and when I do I feel stupid but he basically picks at everything I do. But often not openly he will just sigh or mutter under his breath and then bang things around. I get the silent treatment and told I'm causing a fight if I ask what is wrong. If I ask him to help with our daughter he will be all nice and act like he is happy to. But then when the time comes he will stop talking to me or when I get back he will act like he has done me some huge favour and he is so put upon. The things I ask is normally for him to get up once a month to her so I can sleep and extra hour or for him to watch her so I can have an hour to myself once a week.
Sometimes when I ask for him to do little things he will completely overreact and makes feel like I'm asking him to do the impossible. But if I don't ask and do things myself he gets angry because I did not ask him. He often gets angry at me and treats me like I'm stupid because I do not understand something he is talking about. When I say I don't know he tells me that it is obvious and I should know what he meant.
It feels like the more I threaten to leave or try and fix things the worse he gets. Lately it feels like he is trying to stop me from doing anything other than sitting at home with her and doing what he wants.
I don't know maybe I'm just being silly. I doubt myself all the time. He just tells me that he isn't doing anything and that I'm overly sensitive and the one with the problem. I just feel like I can't take anymore of it.
Sorry for the wall of text. It's hard to write something that is so intangible in your head. When I read this it's hard to believe I wrote it.
Edit: for the parts where I say "he gets angry" I mean he gets short with me and ignores me, or he will patronise me. That sort of behaviour.

Surren33, I can totally relate to everything you wrote. Doubting yourself, it's exactly what he wants you to do. It's so maddening the manipulation the P/A is. Silent treatment is a classic way of driving you crazy while making it very hard for you to respond in a healthy way. Blaming you for him snapping at you - like his outburst is your fault. Blameshifting is classic P/A. Making himself out to be a victim, even subtly - OMG you asked for a favor, don't you understand the EXTREME burden that puts on him!!!! Oh, and you are just so SENSITIVE - don't you SEE how that's the problem here, not that he's an asshole?
I found it was very helpful for me to start naming his behaviors
- that's blameshifting
- that's putting me down to make me defensive
- that's an inappropriate outburst
- that's acting like a victim
- that's failing to be responsible
- that's not doing something you agreed to
- that's dumping a task on me he can do himself
- that's expecting me to pick up his mess
- that is a lie (words)
- that is a trick (actions that deceive)

People who haven't lived with a P/A will never truly understand how much they crush our self worth, whilst we appear to be the strong controlling ones.
Softcentre, you really nailed it.
And yes, it is maddening. Crazy making. A normal healthy person who ends up in a relationship with a P/A person can end up utterly crushed by the experience. It has taken me years to recover my sense of self. I've been in weekly therapy and have worked so hard to try to get back to who I was.
I graduated from an Ivy-league university with honors. I busted my ass to earn that. And for two years after D-day #6 and the end of false-R I could barely function, barely get out of bed.
I'm better now. But I went through hell with his psychological abuse.
It WAS abuse.
Softcentre posted 8/18/2014 11:19 AM
Yes. It is abusive. And right now, a big part of me is wanting to go back to the familiar pattern that I've been living for almost 2 decades. Need to get out of this funk. I need to remind myself that whatever he might want me to think, I deserve better.
Neznayou posted 8/23/2014 11:09 AM
Reading your accounts of life with a PA mate is helping me see how truly, horribly, maddening life must be for my BH. I know that I minimized the true impact my attitude has had on him because whenever he told me I was being passive aggressive, I thought he was joking and meant it in an "aw, isn't that cute" sorta way. (Which sounds like so much bullshit now as I type it.) I am beginning to recgnize PA behaviors in my FOO, too. Not that that excuses me, but does help me understand how toxic a non-confrontational lifestyle can be.
Softcentre posted 8/23/2014 12:38 PM
Nez - in may ways, he's better off if he was able to recognise it and name it,even if you ignored that.
I was unable to understand what was happening and why I reacted like that. I thought I was a horrible,terrible, shouty person. I 'knew' how nice he was, how he hardly ever got angry. I felt awful for keeping on asking him to do things that he'd promised.
Pre-dday, we hardly ever argued, but when we did all my anger fear would come out and it would go on for hours, mainly because although he'd sometimes admit to the surface incident, he'd refuse to talk about the deeper and ongoing patterns. He'd say sorry, but deflect the conversation and we'd go around in circles for ages. Me getting more and more frustrated because he seemed to think that if he said sorry, the conversation was over. If I kept going, somehow i became the 'bad unforgiving spouse who couldn't accept his apology. I could, but me (being codep), i wanted us to work on the deeper issue and he just...kept trying to make it slip away, like jello. So the awful dance kept going on...and he resented me more and more.
Throughout our M I worked so hard on improving myself so that I could live up to my 'wonderful nice guy' husband. No matter how STBXH would like to paint out M. I thought we were happy (he let me think we were) and that it was only my own insecurities and issues that caused any friction. So I worked on them.
I KNOW that I became a healthier person the further our M went on. But STBXH painted me (both in his head and to others) as worse and worse as time went on. Can you imagine living like that? And then when he started flirting with a friend of mine via email ( ) it got worse. But he hid it from me. The he met Fat Bottomed Girl and he stopped hiding his contempt for me, so much.
I STILL didn't understand what was happening. I had no idea this was passive aggression and no idea how to deal with it. My self esteem had sunk. I assumed that the anger i saw in him was caused by me. So I started doing this thing called 'assume love'. You basically assume that your H loves you, no matter what. That if you think they're angry etc, it's you just projecting your own issues. You act lovingly and they're supposed to respond. The more I did it, the worse he got and the more he plunged himself into the A. You see, he didn't want that from me. He WANTED my anger and did worse things to try and provoke it. And I still blamed myself for it all.
So when dday happened. I was a trembling devastated mess. I had zero self esteem. I begged him to stay. He was openly unremorseful for 4 months. Then he pretended for another 4 months of false R. And I let him treat me like sh*t. He never stopped blameshifting.
Even after he left, for months I kept hoping he'd come back,trying to start deep and meaningful conversations with him. Trying to fix it all by myself.
When I told people about his A (after he left). No-one could believe it because he's "such a nice man". And then i started finding out how he'd been making me look bad to people for years...because it made him look better. His p/a, by the time he left (whether conscious or not) had left me quite isolated. He'd dissuaded me from keeping in contact with any of my old friends.Tried to turn me against my family and his, with just small comments and looks, pretending he was looking out for me. He had full control of the finances. I genuinely didn't know how I could survive as a single mum.
I wasn't like this when we were married. I had a lot of flaws, but I had very good self esteem. I was a go-getter. nothing could phase me. Living with him for 14 years changed all of that. I own my own codep & am working on that. But part of it was that his p/a abuse happened so slowly and gradually that I didn't realise.
Now I know. Now I'm getting myself informed. Now I'm working on myself & learning to let go of who he is (he's unremorseful & refuses to admit he's p/a despite being diagnosed by our MC). i wish I'd known about p/a years ago and had the tools to deal with it. and,if it wasn't for our children, I wish I'd known the warning signals so i would never have married him. But that's mostly because of his lack of remorse and denial about p/a.
Nez - You've taken 2 huge steps that my STBXH won't. You're facing your A. You're admitting your p/a....If your BS is willing to work with you, then I hope you make it and I admire your courage to face what you've done and who you are. I wish more people could do the same.

Wow wow wow. My XSO to a t. I didn't realize there was a description that could fit so perfectly right down to the forgetfulness. Explains so much that was confusing, heartbreaking and emotionally draining.
I'm pretty assertive, emotionally intelligent, and I'm good at talking stuff out calmly, but I became a shadow of myself. Placating, begging and swallowing my hurt to make things right. He did me a huge favor when he left after I discovered his CL casual encounters with men and women. If I'd known all this earlier, maybe that wouldn't have come as such a shock. Of course he was afraid of intimacy, that's why I was so lonely.
I was missing him before reading this, but now I have a bigger picture, and know it would never have worked.
Thank you, yet again, good people at SI. You all have been my lifesavers these past weeks.
Softcentre posted 10/20/2014 10:53 AM
It's a revelation, isn't it? When our MC diagnosed him, I looked it up and, WOW!
But even with that knowledge, I still wanted him back.
I'd been trained to be codependent by him, right from our first 'date' when he stood me up to be KISA to another woman. He managed to talk me out of dumping him by pretending he just lost track of time and had told people (we were going out in a group so I could meet his friends) to let me know what was happening & that they must not have told me the full message...he also implied that one of his friends fancied me & tried to sabotage things by not telling me everything.
Now I realise that he was testing me out to see if he could treat me badly, but act like a nice guy and talk me round. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE ( incl his friends, his family, the lot) fell for his p/a nice guy act. We all thought he was genuinely the nicest person we knew, someone to live up to. Truth is, if he'd been honest, he would have been just a normal guy, and probably a fairly nice one. Instead, he's spent his life lying about who he really is, about how angry he gets, about what he really wants...and blames everyone else for that...and then justifies being a jerk behind our backs.
However,he's also groomed those around him to believe him. We're used to trusting him, that's our default. It takes a long time for that to fade. Mainly because we want to see the best in people.
Reading the book "Codependent No More" has been really helpful with that.
hopefulmom44 posted 10/20/2014 17:03 PM
Hi All,
I have a question that I think I know the answer but would like to confirm it with you.
Do any of you have a parenting plan in place with your XWS? If so, how did you get him to agree to one being Passive-Aggressive?
Softcentre posted 10/21/2014 05:45 AM
We're basically parallel parenting. We have a contact agreement and did that via email. Doing it in person is not a good idea with a p/a because they will deny what they agreed, claim you misunderstood etc.
Some vital things I included
- Each parent is responsible for keeping themselves informed about school and children's activities/events, and is to give their email address and other contact details to the school/activity organiser....This means I don't have to wait for his input on parent's evenings/meetings etc (he was using that stuff to manipulate/frustrate me...now that issue has disappeared).
- Each parent is the decision maker during their contact time with the children, but will consult with the other parent over any issues that will affect the other parent's contact time. (Can't remember the exact phrasing,but it was about making sure each parent could agree or not to party invites on their time - I just text him the details and text the person who invited, letting them know it's his decision)
- In the case of a stalemate, I am the final decision maker for all things except medical,where that will fall to the decision off the medical practitioner.
These three things have already saved me a lot of grief.
I was also going to include right of first refusal, but he used it to try and control me (refusing to answer quickly/within agreed time, wanting to know if the children spent ANY time with anyone else) so I ditched that idea. Instead, I do ask if he wants to look after them, if I can't, but always have a back-up plan in place. He never asks me to look after them.
Also bear in mind that you can't expect a p/a unremorseful WS to keep to anything they have agreed unless they know there are consequences that you can and will follow through on. But they WILL expect you to keep fully to your agreement. Being faithful, loyal, truthful types, we do want to keep our word...but that can lead to a very lopsided agreement, where you keep it,they don't, and there's nothing you can do about it. Be VERY careful only to agree to things that both of you will actually do and/or that you can enforce.
Neznayou posted 10/21/2014 07:19 AM
Anyone have a book recommendation for the p/a person? I've looked around a bit bit haven't found anything directed at the p/a woman.
Softcentre posted 10/21/2014 08:27 AM
Sorry, can't think of anything. Does it work if you just mentally change the gender language?
Neznayou posted 10/21/2014 14:48 PM
SoftCenter, the few I've looked at discuss how a man ends up being p/ a by watching the relationship between his two parent figures and how he reacts to their dynamic. I don't recall how it all fit together, but I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't work quite that easily (to just change pronouns). I'm left-handed and I know some things are easier to flip around than others. After I get done with the three books I'm currently working on, I may pick up a p/a book just to get any insight.
Thanks for chiming in
realitybites posted 10/22/2014 08:38 AM
With a P/A who is "pretending" to be good without getting some help, like a dry drunk, they will be good for awhile and then one small little thing will all of a sudden ramp it up again. Or one big thing depending on their maturity level. That is why we always feel like we are walking on eggshells, or we become very controlling as we have gotten used to cleaning up their messes.
I agree that they WANT you to get angry, because they can't. They know how to push certain buttons that get you to address a problem that they won't.
But what I have been finding lately is I have been working really hard (because it takes awhile to break your own bad habits) on learning to not respond, to catch when he is trying to 'get me' to react to something. I am working on learning to walk away when he does something stupid, let him clean it up.
But I find the harder I work the more he ramps up the naughty or bad things he does. My therapist said this would happen and I have read it here as well. And this is where my patience tends to wane, where my stress level goes thru the roof.
Example: We took our sons out to dinner the other night and my oldest fiance, so there were 5 of us. The credit card we always use just got updated and new ones were sent to us, you have to however activate them. I told my H earlier that I had updated mine but he needs to update his....well at the restaurant he was absolutely sure that since I had done it already he did not need to do it (same account, 2 different cards/numbers)I whispered to him to not give the waiter the new card as I felt he needed to update it, nope big man felt he was right and I was wrong. Well you can guess it, waiter comes back (very quietly) and tells my H that the card was denied. At this point other children can see but get busy going to the bathroom and trying to ignore. My H just laughs and hands the waiter other card. Then looks at me and gets mad that I am "looking at him weird, giving him the look" and I am thinking "no, I am thinking you are an asshole and there was no need to do that".
And truly there was not....why? Why do that in front of everyone? Thats what I mean by ramping it up...now he doesn't mind looking stupid in front of others. But he makes sure to get mad at me somehow??
shiftingsand posted 10/22/2014 09:45 AM
Ok my WH had two very limited discussion the other night.
I say: What would you like to do after dinner?
He says: I don't know. What ever you want to do.
I say: Really, what would you like to do after dinner? I am completely open.
He says: Whatever you want to do. Well, we could go to home depot and walk around, but you are probably tired and want to rest.
I say. Nope, I am good. Sounds good.
He says: We don't have to if you don't want to.
I say. "Let's go. I'm good with that."
He says. "well alright."
We go, we wander around for about 45 minutes or so. Now I am starting to get tired. He is looking at the same paint chips he has for more than a year. I start to sit down on the shelf and look at chips. I point out a horrid, shocking bright green and say jokingly how about this one? ha?
He says; "that kinda matches your sweater you are wearing."
(not so subtle put down for me.) Stung I say :
"well, I guess I won't be wearing this one again."
He rolls his eyes, like I misinterpeted his comment.
Then he says, "Well, you are getting tired. Let's go."
I say ok.
In the car he is quiet. I ask him "Are you mad at me?"
he says, "Why would you think I'm mad at you?"
(he never answers a direct question - always turns it back on me - why would you ask that.. or why, what did I do now kinda thing).
He never answers my original question and I refuse to get dragged into talking about how quiet he has suddendly become because he turns it back on me - "like what I HAVE to talk all the time, now? or you think I'm mad?".
Inside later on the couch, he's completely shut down so I try to engage him in conversation. How was your day? "ok". Where you busy, "yeah, same like yesterday." Ah, ok, what did you do at home today? "I just got home when you called." I say, "I'm not trying to interrogate you - I'm just trying to have a conversation here." Silence.
He gets up to make his lunch for tommorrow. I come in and he is about to set the coffee and I say I will do that cuz there is still some coffee left. He pulls out a mug from the cabinet and pours the remainder of the coffee in a cup - a different cup than mine. I am like - what - why can't you just let me do one THING for you! I am so pissed I pour the coffee down the drain. He's pissed and says "Why did you do that! I was leaving it for you. Why do that!" (Now I realize it's because yet again he ignores my requests and does what he wants anyway). But I just say - I guess I'm just immature and didn't know what I was doing because I wanted to make coffee for you! And you refuse to let me do ANYTHING for you to show you that I care!" He's standing in the kitchen like I have two heads - I feel like it, I walk away to cool off and have a smoke.
See for the last week I have been making him lunches to take to work as a means of reconnecting with him and then all the sudden he doesn't want me to do it for him or make the coffee or anything.
ANyway, after I cool off I apologize again for over-reacting and he goes to bed.

I'm dumbfounded how I actually made a joke in MC that I'm not passive aggressive, I'm just AGGRESSIVE because I mean what I say and
I feel like I was purposely ignoring this somehow. My MOTHER is a master passive aggressive, and I'm always hooked into hers, but at 87, I still try to make her happy. She had a crappy life and she is NOT going to change at this point, so I'd just like her to have some comfort.

P/a is a hidden personality disorder...you see it's completely socially acceptable to be 'polite' and 'deferential' and p/a people are lovely to those around them, just not those closest to him,but we just think we must be horrible, sort tempered & angry people...after all, everyone else loves them and they're not shouty people like us.

So, there were high winds and a fencepost snapped and two panels came down with it. Our neighbour on that side has a toddler and our garden is not toddler safe right now. I can't fix it myself (medical reasons) and can't afford to pay someone to fix it for me. STBXH knows this.
I texted asking him if he could fix it. He texted back asking what needed doing. I texted back telling him. Then...nothing. You see, he doesn't like DIY. I was expecting this.
The next day I texted to ask again, reminding him about our neighbour's toddler and that we were jointly liable if anything were to happen to her. Suddenly he's going to fix it (legal words work well on him, reputation is important, as is money). I texted back to get him to name a day (otherwise it's always "soon" or "when I have time".
Today was the day to fix it. This is how it went.
- He had agreed to arrive here at around 8.30am. He arrived at 10am. He texted me just before he arrived that he had arranged somewhere else he had to be at 11am, so he could only spend 45 minutes. I didn't get angry, I was expecting something like this. When he arrived I said that it would take more time than he had, and he agreed to comeback after his appointment to finish the job.
- He started digging to get the old concrete & bottom half of the post out of the hole. He hadn't finished that part when he needed to go.
- I had a nice lunch and watched The Blacklist
- He came back...with a new fence post that is a foot shorter than the old one and a completely different colour. I said nothing. I expected this. I know that it will still do the job and if I mentioned it, he would be able to resent me and take longer putting off doing the job...and he'd get ego kibbles because he'd pushed a button. He got crickets. And I told myself that at least he'd got a fence post.
- I'd decided that if I offered to help I'd be resented and/or he'd get annoyed with me if things went wrong. I'd also decided that if I kept checking, I'd get anxious. So I took myself away and did something I can't normally do with the children around (it was his time with them and they were in the garden with him, popping in and out to give me hugs). I left him to it and decided to watch tv and then have a nap on the sofa. Lovely
- Two hours later and the job was done. It was actually a good job! I thanked him...and he admitted that the next door neighbour, NOT the one with the hole in the fence, but the other side...had done most of the work. This is the other reason I stayed out of it, his need to be rescued from things he doesn't like doing. I wouldn't rescue him, so he played the victim enough that our neighbour did. I'm going to buy the neighbour some chocolates.
- Oh and just as he left, STBXH mentioned that he'd broken both my spade (shovel) and hammer. Both were fairly new, good brands and in good condition. I was expecting this too. Whenever he did DIY he'd break things,lose things, or leave them out in the rain to go rusty. Every time. I didn't get angry. I simply asked him when(not if) he was going to get the replacements to me. He's promised them by the end of the week. I expect them to be bottom of the range versions. But beggars can't be choosers.
I actually feel it went very well...but the codep in me feels I was a bit rude. That codep is getting quieter, though

I stumbled across this site by accident and it blew me away, so I had to stop and make a post. Never have I seen so many husbands described as clones of my XH.
My husband's affair was the best thing that happened to me..why? Read on..
A potted history.
I married my husband after a long distance relationship and he was very keen for us to get together. I only knew him a year before we got married, and most of that time was w/e meetings.
He was charming and so, so reasonable, never got cross or upset about anything. I ignored the fact he seemed to be estranged from his family, had no friends and only seemed to be happy when he was out with friends. I ignored the fact that the house he shared with 2 other guys was a pigsty. I put his obsession with work as ambition and felt proud to be with such an ambitious man.
He was a shift worker, so I rarely saw him and put his moodiness down to his work pattern. This also meant we spent a lot of time sleeping apart. Our sex-life was practically non-existant.
He was always taking on projects at home and never finished them, but I put this down to his work demands.
After 5 years I was still living with no wallpaper on the hall walls or carpet on the floor. He knocked a wall down in the kitchen, removed the rubble and left it. His dad re-papered one room for us.
By this time I was getting fed up with living in a bomb site and taking care of all the household tasks and also paying most of the bills ( I earned more than he did). I also felt very lonely. So I suggested he move to permanent days so we could have more time together and he would have more time to get jobs done about the place. He agreed.
He moved to days which were supposed to be 6am to 2.pm but he still never got in until 5.00pm just after I did.
I thought things would be better, but they went downhill fast.
After the evening meal he was asleep for 2 hours and then wanted to sit and watch TV and ignored me. He refused to help with chores because "he had been working all day" (like I hadn't ?) When I asked for help with grocery shopping at weekends he said "I've been working all week, I need time off". If I nagged he just went silent on me and/or walked away. Finally I asked him to sit down with me and discuss things I wasn't happy with, so he sat down and I explained, in a non-threatening manner why I needed more help about the house and what i wanted him to do. He set up rotas for jobs which were pinned up in the kitchen and then ignored by him.
He stayed up till midnight every night and refused sex saying that " he had to get up early for work". When I complained he said that I would be more attractive if I lost some weight ( I was 5'3" and 126 pounds at the time !) He started criticising my clothes.
He took up bowling and was out quite a few nights. If I complained he said "aren't I allowed a hobby?"or "do you want me to let the team down?". He stayed in bed until noon every Saturday then went to play bowls.
We started having arguments but an "argument" was just me shouting. When I got upset he just walked away usually with a nasty smirk on his face.(of course when he started his affair he could tell the OW what a nasty "shouty" person I was.)
I became depressed and tired. I felt trapped and hopeless. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get the warmth and intimacy I craved.
We'd been married 7 years when he "forgot" my birthday. When I asked him why I didn't even get a card he said " you don't deserve anything". I got upset and said "why do you have to say all these nasty things to me and upset me?" He said "I don't upset you, you only upset yourself".
I totally lost it. I yelled at him like a woman possessed I told I was sick of his nastiness, his continual criticism, being taken for granted, paying most of bills, doing most of the work about the place, being ignored etc etc. I said that I wasn't prepared to spend the next 40 years of my life living like this and I wanted a divorce.
He went white.
I put wheels in motion for a divorce and made plans to leave. He begged me to wait as "he didn't want his parents upset over Christmas" and stupidly I agreed.
Two months later I found out that he's been cheating with a girl at work (10 years younger than him) for 6 months.
On the night I found out I punched him in the mouth and he spent the night in hospital, I was so angry I scared myself. (Of course now he could tell the OW that I was a complete madwoman.)
However, it was a relief, as now I could divorce him for adultery, which I did and I made him leave.
He procrastinated all through the divorce, not answering letters or going for appts etc etc but I finally got it finalised after 5 months.
He didn't marry his affair partner for 4 years after we got divorced, and then it was because she was pregnant.
I understand from the "grapevine" that she's been hospitalised 3 times for depression and has had one suicide attempt.
I almost feel sorry for her.
I firmly belief that his affair was the best thing that could happen as it enabled me to get out of a destructive relationship that was destroying my sanity. I took me about 10 years and some therapy to get back to being the person I originally was.
I really feel for anyone who is staying together and trying to make it work.

Gran ubicación en Chattanooga y hermosos jardines e instalaciones del hotel. El bufé de desayuno era muy pobre. La comida estaba un poco fría y sabía a rancio con muy poco variedad para un "bufé".
Estupenda ubicación en la zona de diversión. El personal de recepción era agradable cuando llegamos. Patio fuera de la habitación. Instalaciones muy deterioradas. Moho negro alrededor del respiradero, pintura desconchada en la habitación. Parecía sucio en general. No nos dijeron nada sobre la tarifa de estacionamiento de $7 hasta que nos marchamos. Muy caro para el estado y la calidad del hotel. (pagamos $121).
El personal era rápido y eficiente para registrarnos y dar direcciones. La cervecería The Terminal al lado era un buen lugar
El hotel era precioso, el personal era súper amable y servicial.
La decoración y la madera tallada es extraordinario!
Es un hermoso lugar histórico. Es difícil pasear alrededor de la torres separadas. La zona de la piscina debe dársele más visiblidad
The look from the outside Wrong room. Then then rooming booked was sold out AC didn't work so they had a bring us a box fan. The bath tub would get clogged up and we would be up to our ankles when taking a shower. A nice hotel for the price, then you have to pay for the breakfast. Will not be going back
Friendly staff Room smelled funny, pool deck falling apart, bathroom dirty.
Seaff. The Shower. Chairs too low in restraint.
Barato no desayuno atento.
No me gustan las entradas exteriores de las habitaciones. Había algunas personas merodeando me hizo sentir incómodo.
Muy cerca de varios restaurantes.
La cama era muy cómoda y la habitación estaba muy limpia. El personal era muy amable y servicial. El desayuno continental era mínimo.
El personal es agradable, la piscina Desayuno escaso,habitaciones viejas que necesitan un poco de trabajo, baño pequeño
Gran hotel, camas cómodas y suaves Las toallas no son suficientemente grandes para el cuerpo de una persona
Across the street from the Children's Museum, walking distance to the Aquarium, close to restaurants and shops. Great views from the rooms. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. The pool heater broke the day we arrived. My children were most excited about swimming! They allowed us to swim in their sister hotel down the street which was very nice. It could not be helped but it was disappointing not being able to use the pool in our own hotel.
Location to downtown was great Staff complained to each other in front of guests, room was small and even though it was a corner room, it only had 1 window. Only 2 elevators for 15 floors and its shared by the staff (no freight elevators) so wait times were bad. Check-in time was 3pm but room was not ready until 3:45pm. Overall it was "ok" but not what I expect from a DoubleTree.
Just about everything The bar and pool close way to early.
Staff and cleanliness were above average! The fact I could hear everything happening in the hallway including to kids playing some game at 7:30 am on a Sunday and one guest continually knocking on another guests door while saying housekeeping at least 20 times in two morning.
Everything!! First stay here but not the last. Love the restaurant that is there and the room was wonderful. Lots to do nearby and plenty of shopping. We will definitely be back!
Beautiful hotel loved our room. The free breakfast was much better then any hotel I've ever stayed at. Checkout isn't until 12 so you don't have to rush to checkout by 10. The indoor pool wasn't heated. What's the point of an indoor pool if it's too cold to get in and enjoy. No Jacuzzi. A Jacuzzi in a embassy suite should be a must!
Air conditioning worked great. First night there was a major fight outside our room. Loud cursing and due to fight, people hitting up against the wall and door (we were in a corner room). When the fight escalated to the point of our actually being concerned for our safety, I called the desk downstairs. It rang and rang, no answer. Police came. Needless to say, many hours before getting back to sleep. Next day,after asking about it, we were advised that it was guests (under a corporate account) and police had escorted them out that night. Also advised, fight had involved furniture being thrown in hallway.We were away from hotel next morning 8-11:15. Husband was in room from 11:15 until 1:00. We both left at 1 and when we returned later the room had not been cleaned. After calling the desk, a very rude desk clerk advised that a sign had been on the door when they came to clean the room and no one could clean the room or change the sheets because they left at 1:00. (Don't know why they didn't come earlier or knock on the door to check about cleaning.) We asked for clean towels at least and got the run around. The clerk even responded after my husband told her how unhappy we were with our stay that, "I hope you won't report this to Corporate." We went to our dinner appointment and when we returned, no towels. I went down to the desk and picked them up myself. Next day, when checking out, we expressed our displeasure with the hotel and service. No apology, no anything. There are several hotels in that area. This is not the service you would expect from a Wyndham, and I can assure you that our business will be going to someone else in the future. (I am contacting Wyndham Corporate.)
We loved the hot tub room. Was nice to relax after hiking most of the afternoon. Housekeeping was efficient and room was cleaned great each day. Great price. Location close to a lot of great restaurants and just miles from downtown on a short drive. We were very satisfied. We didn't wake up early enough to try the breakfast. Everything was fine
The price and location were great. The hotel staff was friendly. It was clean. The workout room was cramped and had a thermostat locked at 75 degrees.
Everything was great except the shower pressure was non existent!
We were disappointed that the hot tub was broken. (Only reason we picked this location)
We appreciated the continental breakfast. I was surprised by the lack of cleanliness. It was so humid in the hotel that all the carpets felt wet. There was also pink and black mildew all around the mat in the tub.
Great location if you have a scheduled event at the convention center. Good amenities. Bed was uncomfortable. Man at check in was working on computer and told me to what a minute. After several minutes (5-7), when a supervisor came out of the back and asked if I needed help, he then stopped what he was doing to help me.
The staff was very helpful. Room was very clean and quiet. Breakfast was excellent.
Cerca de muchas actividades. No hay ropa o refrescar una toalla.
Se podía pagar en la recepción. Todo el personal fue amable con mi familia y con las mascotas. Nos cambiaron a una habitación de mejor categoría. La habitación estaba limpia. Sin duda me alojaría allí otra vez. Es hora de cambiar los colchones. A parte de eso, no hay nada más que comentar. Bueno, ¿quizás algunas opciones más en el desayuno?
Great location within walking distance of good food, the aquarium and some shops. Extremely clean, room even smelled new. I would definitely stay here again. Nothing, we liked everything.
Great clean place to stay. Everything was new and the staff was very friendly and nice. I was not informed that valet parking was the only option at this hotel. It is expensive (14 bucks a night).
The room was wonderful and spacious! Loved the walk in shower! Close to everything and with a view! Nothing
Nice,new and very modern hotel..really deserves a higher star rating! Hotel was good BUT had to get a cab to go to the local bars...AND Chattanooga pd is VERY unprofessional when it comes to handling minor situations, they are quick to become over agressive..stay at the HOTEL plenty of good people there to stay entertained!
Spacious, clean room and bath.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Funky design and layout. Riverfront was nice, but very limited views. Happy hour in the lobby was great. Poor location, not near downtown at all. No shuttle to the downtown area. Very odd room layout. Impossible for one of us to get up early and use facilities without disturbing others. Wifi was almost useless, even though there was a great wifi signal
The hotel was great, the room was huge and easily slept 2 adults and 4 kids, and the patio was great for hanging out and letting the kids run around. The furniture around the fire pit needs to be replaced and it would be great to have some toys or a playset on the patio.
Modern looking, cruise ship atmosphere, front desk staff was excellent Extra charge for parking,
My husband and I appreciated the spacious suite and easy walk to downtown attractions. Our kids enjoyed the pool and free lollipops. We'll definitely be back.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The location overlooking the river - it's the only one! The patio area is very nice and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Distance to the Tennessee Aquarium is about 0.5 mile.
My only regret is that we only stayed one night ! My first overnight stay in Chattanooga & I will never stay anywhere else ! The most beautiful Inn with modern accommodations yet they've kept the original charm of the building ! I read the reviews about the breakfast but they didn't do it justice ! The chef made biscuits that are out of this world ! The room was huge & bed extremely comfortable. Not your typical, sterile, cookie cutter hotel room ! I can't wait to go back again !
The breakfast included, exceeded my expectations. Hotel had lots of character and was comfortable. The hotel reminded me a lot of staying in my grandparents old farm house so it was very homie.The staff was wonderful and friendly. I would definitely go back, but would book a room with a balcony instead. The pictures are a little misleading, since the room we booked was definitely smaller and didn't have the same quality furnishings . We weren't in the room much, so that was okay. Overall it was a nice stay and had very few complaints.

This is a great set for alternative thinkers. It is simple to understand and easy to follow. However, it might not be recommended for people deep in depression as you need to have some sort of light left to be able to see what Louise Hay is trying to get across. It;s a great uplifter and opens your mind. A great book for people into metaphysics. Highly recommended when it's greatly discounted and with free shipping!

Bearing Life Assessment
The section's areas of expertise cover the following:
- Analysis to determine the life expectancy of bearings putting emphasis on lubricant degradation. The analysis is based on results obtained with the Spiral Orbit Tribometer of ESTL (European Space Tribology Laboratory).
- Analysis to determine up to what level a life test can be accelerated. This is important because life tests are very expensive and depend on the test duration which can be highly reduced if a clear assessment is done to determine accelerated tests conditions

A PROJECT aimed at helping Cynon Valley youngsters get active has led to the creation of four new jobs.
The Game On initiative, which encourages boys and girls aged 14 to 19 to take part in sport and leisure, has appointed community support coaches to run activities in four Communities First areas in Mountain Ash.
The Coalfields Regeneration Trust scheme, supported by Comic Relief, was set up ago six years and has since seen the formation of football clubs in Communities First partnerships across South Wales.
The clubs compete for a prestigious annual five-a-side tri-nations title against teams from former mining areas in England and Scotland – which Wales won for the second time this month.
Game On has joined forces with the Vi-Ability football social enterprise, supported by the Welsh Government's Jobs Growth Wales programme, to employ the coaches to manage evening and weekend clubs.
The four key venues involved are Perthcelyn Community Centre, the Nip it in the Bud youth club, also in Perthcelyn, Tri Yn Un Communities First and the Bryncynon Revival Strategy.
"We want to provide a chance for the youth of lower Cynon to lead a healthier, more active lifestyle, and to encourage cross-community interaction through collaborative activities," said Jarred Harvey, Game On Wales coordinator.
"The venues are the main areas where youngsters hang out, but they have limited activities.
"They tend to be territorial and won't go across the road if it's to a different centre.
"We're trying to break down the barriers and get more people attending regular clubs.
"The ultimate aim is to get more young people active in their communities and then into teams and competing in the Game On league.
"This is a truly unique set-up – something that has never been done successfully before."
The four new Game On members of staff – Jessica Lloyd, 21, from Porth, Megan Jones, 19, from Mountain Ash, Michael O'Dare, 17, from Penrhiwceiber and Jamie Thomas, 21, from Treorchy – have just started work.
CRT regeneration manager Wales Alun Taylor said: "Game On is an involving youth engagement programme.
"This new dimension of creating job opportunities for young people through our partners is a natural and much-needed development, especially given the high level of youth unemployment in valley communities."

We did the same thing to my wife's Glock 27 without any problems.
You did not clean the gun before you shot it and still haven't yet? Good luck and have fun with your new weapon and all the add ons.
We did the same thing to my wife's Glock 27 without any problems.
I can't use my little finger on it but wrap it underneath the magazine. My ring finger rests on the extension where the pinky is supposed to rest quite nicely.
I just bought a Kel-Tec PF-9 and it had the pinky extension on both the magazines. I removed them. Not sure why it's called "Pinky" since I have small hands and my pinky doesn't come close to fitting on the grip.
Without the extension, no issues for me. Personally, I'd prefer a 2 round extension for it...then my pinky will have a place to sit. Does anyone make one?
I just bought a PF-9 last week and was able to shoot it over the weekend for the first time. I also purchased and extra mag with it so I was able to try with and without the extension. This may be an issue because it is new, but the empty mags would not fall from the gun. Instead they had to be pulled out when the slide is back (not so much closed). The extension made this easy, but I sure hope with another 100-200 rounds it fixes itself. I would rather not have the extension.
Anybody else have this issue with their NIB PF-9?
I don't have this weapon, but I think that if you leave off the pinkie extension and shoot enough you will never miss it. If you shoot with the pinkie extension first and then take it off it will never feel right again. I would leave it off for 500 rounds or so to see if I could adapt to it. The grip size is the part that prints through tee-shirts (where I would carry this type of weapon) so I would want the grip to be as small as possible. So I vote to leave it off for the first 500 rounds (don't switch back and forth).
I don't have this weapon but if I did I would shoot it for 3 or 4 months regularly without the pinkie extension exclusively. After that time I would imagine I would have adapted to the grip and would not miss the extension.
If you apply the extension early you will miss it no matter what.
By in large the human body (and mind) is highly adaptable. I would not compromise the concealability until I have exhausted my efforts to adapt to the weapon without the grip extension.
I have a P3AT with the pinky extension on two mags, and one without. When I carry in the pocket, I put the magazine without the extension on it. That extension tends to "print" through my pocket.
...solid, very well designed. Shooting is veru much improved. The roughly 1/2" increased height of the PF9 effects concealability a bit...but not by much.
Kel-Tec has just come out with a magazine extention that also adds +1 capasity to the magazine making the gun 8+1. I just ordered one this morning. You can get it just the base plate extention or pre-installed on a new magazine.
I plan on ordering a nine round magazine from Cheaper Than Dirt for my P3AT. These are factory mags that run only about 24.00 dollars.
I have a PF9 Bought 2 extensions . Fit real good . However the PF9 I have is a dog
My vote is for no extension. But, it really depends on how you carry it. In a good IWB holster, the pinky extension might not make that much difference.

Hardwired under cabinet puck lights
I am installing under cabinet lights. I like the look of puck lights and I want them hardwired to be controlled but wall switch. Walls are currently opened so I have easy access. I haven't been able to find puck lights designed for this purpose. The ones I've seen at big box stores are designed to pluginto socket and has an attached transformer/ballast. Are there any that are designed to wire into romex and wall switch, it better yet, a dimmer?
I have seen line voltage(120v) undercab lights in the puck style at the big box stores. Now you still will need to install a box and outlet or cut off the plug and wirenut it. Switch that circuit and you should be good. Now I do remember that they looked the same in the package except for the 120v label. I worked at one before in that department. Hope that helps
To do this right you will need to do one of the following: get 120v pucks that have an integrated junction box OR (suggested:) get low voltage.....
There are many transformers that are hardwired and come with a junction box for the xformer. The xformers are also dimmable.
WAC makes pucks and xformers.
Pucks are the HR-88-(color) EX: HR-88-WH for white
Xformers are EN12(watts)RBAR (includes enclosure) EN12100RBAR for 100 watts
Use a LowVoltage Electronic Dimmer such as Lutrons Skylark line, SELV-300
