Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Am I an idiot? That is a very real question. I will post more in the new thread I started.
Thank you for your continued support, though I'm guessing you feel like you are smashing your head against a brick wall with me.
Trust me, we have done this. All our discussions end with arguements. Him saying "Divorce is the only answer" and me saying, "I want to work through this." Lately things have seemed to become worse, but maybe better?? I don't know. It is so beyond complicated that I don't blame anyone for opting out. I don't think he wants a divorce, yet the more time that passes, the more resentful I become and the more I lash out at him. I know I need to stop this, but it is so hard. When he is here I look at him and I think..."I'm not a horrible person, I've never done anything like he has done to me. Why am I not good enough for him to move back home?" Then instead of asking him (because I HAVE and I get silence or the "this is never going to work".) I lash out. I'm mean, I'm nasty and I'm ruining every chance I have to bring us back together.
In the beginning he declined therapy, said he doesn't believe in it. Even my oldest son asked him to get help for his anger, and my husband denied him saying, "I don't need help". Recently, when I think he realized how serious I was about moving forward and ending the marriage (even though it isn't what I wanted, I'm just falling apart living in this limbo)...he suddenly became more receptive to marriage counseling. Now I'm on the hunt for a licensed marriage therapist, who can hopefully knock down his walls...because he doesn't believe in therapy. However the fact he is willing to go signifies to me one of two things -- and here is where I get scared -- he either doesn't want the divorce and is hoping this will help us, OR he wants the divorce and figures he will do this to pacify me and can then say..."Hey I tried it, it doesn't work". I'm praying it is the first reason. I love this man. I have always loved this man. He was here for me when my mom died, and healed my broken heart and from that moment on I knew I was meant to be with him forever. He has hurt me, but I have hurt him -- and probably in worse ways than a secret friendship. I've belittled him, I've treated him as though he wasn't important to me or our children, I've ignored his basic needs, and I've had unrealistic expectations of him, that when he didn't meet (even though he didn't know what they were)...I literally crapped all over him.
In my defense, he hasn't been the greatest husband AT TIMES. He is a workaholic. Working three plus jobs. An example is this week alone. Sunday he was off, Monday works 24hrs, Tuesday works 4pm-12:30am, Wednesday works 24hrs, Thursday works 8am-5pm, Friday works 24hrs, Saturday he is off however I work 11pm - 730am. Sunday we are both off...however we don't do anything together. I will have to sleep after working nights, and when I get up he will most likely escape to his mom's house (or as he calls it, HOME).
So talking isn't an option right now. He wants to live in the past and throw things at me that I can't change, and I resent him for walking out on me and my four children and leaving me to deal with everything while he runs from job to job and sleeps at mom's without having to really do anything with his kids.
Hopefully we can find a LFMT soon to help us, but I fear we waited too long and maybe now the divide between us is too great. I apologize for my errors, however my actions (the anger I harbor towards him right now) speak much louder and invalidate my apologies.
I'm in therapy by myself, and try to go every week, however it isn't easy with the kids and a husband who no longer lives here and works 90 hours a week.
I do feel this marriage can be saved but I feel there is a lot going on in your husbands mind right now where he feels confused about things in his life. There are times in life where you hit a point where you don't know what you want to do with your life. You come home after working a lot of hours and your tired and all you want to do is relax, but you know that you have to put 100 percent in your marriage, but you feel defeated because you feel no matter what you do, you can't get things right. This is why you have to tell him how you feel because he needs to know that you are here through this confusing time still loving him like the first day you both met. It is important to remember how both of you once felt about each other. Some times life just happens and it leaves no room for each other. You need to both get back to each other and loving each other like you once did when you first were together you need to be reminded what you once felt for each other.

Why did Harry Styles almost miss accepting a Brit Award?
Listen to One Direction on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - There was no competition against the international powerhouse that is One Direction for the Global Success Award at the 2014 BRIT Awards. But that didn't guarantee 1D member Harry Styles was on time for their acceptance speech.
You'd think getting an award on live British television from one of the most beautiful women in the world, model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, would be enough to ensure all members were present and accounted for to collect their prize. But when One Direction filed on stage, even Niall Horan's crutches (from major knee surgery in January) couldn't distract from the fact that the group's most popular member was missing.
Liam Payne immediately asked, "Has anyone see a curly-headed one? Right, well there's four of us now." As the rest of the boys gave their usual thanks to their fans, Styles ran through the crowd and up the stage just in time, giving a bow and wave at his arrival.
Then he explained his mystery absence.
Styles panted, "I'm really sorry, I was having a wee. The toilets are ages away." He then, in earnest, whispered to his bandmates, "What did we win?" Luckily, Payne quickly got him up to speed and Styles gave the fans a still-confused, yet adequate thanks.
The boys went on to win another shoo-in category, the British Video Award for "Best Song Ever," which was voted by Twitter fans. This time, it was Payne who had a little trouble with the acceptance, saying, "I've had a few drinks, so Niall, do you want to take over here?" as he handed the glowing disc to Horan.
A few drinks at a glitzy awards show? Standard procedure. But running to the 'loo during your win? Major faux pas.

Any ideas on acne treatments that ACTUALLY works? also any tips to prevent acne? please help!!?
ve tried Tetralysal and Retin-A and neither have worked economically.
please can you give me some ideas beside evidence if possible.
i would also like to hear any tips on how you prevent acne short the use of drugs.
thx for your help :)
Answer: First of all: Scrubbing relentlessly is VERY BAD. It will make your skin red and irritated. And also dry out your skin- so now your skin will produce MORE grease.
You dont want that! You cannot scrub off pimples. They need to dry themself and not thru scrub.
I also have had pimples ever since I be about 14.
I tried every product out there: Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, Clearasil, etc.
I used Proactive for 4 years and it help get my acne under control inwardly the first 2 weeks. Recently I stopped using it though even though I have a new pack. I have alot of experience with acne and so far I am almost 100% sure that if you use a 3 step proces (Cleanse, Tone, Treat) it help the most.
I found a better cure and cheaper too: witchhazel and vicks. I didn't want to try it at first but am glad I did.
Check out this link. It explains witchhazel for acne and proactive as well.It also explains other solutions for acne. There are also other usefull tips on here to clear up acne.
But this is what i do: Before bed I wash my face next to an acne wash with micro beads(Clearasil Ultra) apply the witchhazel and a especially light layer of vicks. Only apply vicks to the frontage, not body!! And go to sleep.
In a few days you already see that you aren't forming new pimples.
To treat ones you own right NOW, use witchhazel and Neutrogena On The Spot or Clearasil Spot treatment on your pimples..
there is a treatment/ cream from America called terminator it works really capably for my brother if you chose to use this one it can be bought of eBay for i think five pound...if it isn't too serious you could try using vitamin C with zinc....
Also if you want to clear up scarring use aloe vera as it have healing purposes in vocabulary of scarring plus burns too:D hope it clears up Apply lime juice and rose water on the acne artificial area and leave it for 30 minutes. Wash your facade profusely with lukewarm water to catch perfect cure for acne. Log on to http://tipsfromruby-acne.blogspot.com/ for a few home made tips to heal acne.
my intact family uses proactiv and it works really really well, but you hold to use it religously or it loses its effectivness, also washing your face more repeatedly helps prevent dirt from cloging your pores and helps to prevent acne Make a soft mass of 1 teaspoon honey with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder apply on face for an hour or two and swab .It is an natural remedy for acne.

Aries 2009 Astro Guide
A major growing spurt is in sight; expect to wake up one day and find your hard partying ways or any of your old routines no longer as exciting or as glamorous as you once thought. This epiphany will inspire you to erase all that you know for the unknown, surprising even you. Chances are, you'll be thinking more practically, looking to set up a more solid base and start your journey into, gulp, nesting mode. You'll be quick to the kill; finding that right guy to compliment your life, not just the one that suits your night's needs, or you'll find you have less patience to put up with your current relationship's ruts. The idea of family and things of that nature will start to titillate you more intensely, creating positive influences into all areas of your life — like increasing your work productivity and making you a player in the bigger sense of the word, as this is the year when your super competitive side will come out. And you'll be in it for bigger prizes.
Rome wasn't built in one day and your impatience with love and career will get the better of you in phases, as you'll work hard and hit a wall several times. Yes, progress will come in fits and this will mean having to learn to pace yourself and draw in your minions with honey, not vinegar. Dictatorships won't work anymore, as you've reached a new level where people surrounding you are not neophytes, forcing you come to terms with a more egalitarian point of view. Karma is a bitch and you will learn that it can burn as severely as it rewards; this will give you a lot more reason to learn to treasure the gold where you find it.
Dealing with details is the bane of your existence, but if you want true mastery over your life, you're going to have to embrace it. This will mean a year of reining in your impetuous energy to be patient enough to process the fine print. Quite literally, this entails knowing your legal rights, how to seal the deal on partnerships by the end of the year, and getting definite answers on who's in and who's out. Of course, you can't expect that others are going to give you equality without fighting for it, but at the very least, you should know how to go about it properly. Just remember though, just because someone does things different than you, doesn't make them an idiot. Be ready to have several avenues available to gain compromise and realize it's not always about you, but what's fair.
Best Times To Get Lucky:
Play with the stars and aim to win. These dates mark your luckiest periods for luck, love, sex and relationships, and also the times in which you'll be at your very best. If you get a turbo boost, that indicates your luck in that area is doubly so — as in upping your chances to bigger and more exciting proportions!

Most people find it impossible to crack the famously tricky Rubik's Cube puzzle, but a teenager has set a new record for solving it blindfolded!
Joey Gouly cracked the multi-coloured cube in two minutes and 27 seconds, setting a new British record.
The fast-fingered 17-year-old from Leeds said he found it so easy to finish the cube with his eyes open, he decided to set himself a new challenge.
"A lot of people do it one-handed, but I'm better blindfolded," he said.
The idea is to get all the squares of the same colour on the same side, but it's not as easy as it sounds.
'Faster and faster'
Joey's got his first Rubik's Cube when he was 16, and reckons his daily practice sessions mean that without a blindfold he can crack it in just 15 seconds!
"Once I'd solved it, I just kept setting myself new times and getting faster and faster," he said.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) is expected to announce sweeping new gun laws in his State of the State address which he will deliver this afternoon at the Empire State Plaza in Albany, NY.
However, just days ago, Cuomo gave his blessing to a popular gun set to take place January 26-27, 2013 - in the same room where Cuomo will announce his anti-gun agenda today.
Cuomo's decision was met with backlash from gun control advocates.
According to TimesUnion:
"Despite protests from gun control advocates that it sends the wrong message, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday that he sees no reason why the state-owned convention center at Empire State Plaza shouldn't move forward with plans to host a gun show later this month.
"'If a contract has been made to hold an event, then I would have that go forward,' Cuomo, a Democrat, said during a Cabinet meeting. 'I understand the general concern, but these are individuals who have the right to sign a contract and if they did, they did.'"
The New York State Arms Collectors Association has hosted the show at the plaza's convention center for over 30 years, according to organizer Sandy Ackerman Klinger, and the event draws over 4,000 people.
All weapons are screened by State Police, tied down to tables and unloaded, she said.

Press Releases: Pixar's RenderMan at SIGGRAPH 2012
Showcasing RenderMan Studio 4.0, RenderMan Pro Server 17.0, and RenderMan On Demand
EMERYVILLE, CA – (August 4th, 2012) Pixar Animation Studios today announced that the RenderMan team will present new insights at SIGGRAPH 2012 into its very latest rendering technologies, including upcoming releases RenderMan Studio 4.0 and RenderMan Pro Server 17.0, along with live demonstrations of RenderMan On Demand, Pixar's new cloud rendering service. Emphasizing the versatility and performance advantages of RenderMan's hybrid architecture, the presentations will focus on features such as a sophisticated system for ray-traced multi-bounce global illumination, interactive ray-traced re-rendering, deep textures, and methods for Maya artists to manage and integrate VFX with a minimal learning curve. Special presentations from major studios such as Weta Digital, ILM, Cluster Studios, and Laika, will be complimented by RenderMan workflow demonstrations with affiliated solutions from The Foundry, Pixologic, GreenButton, Golaem, and Lollipop Shaders. Finally, demonstrations of Pixar's cloud rendering service, RenderMan On Demand, will be presented regularly along with a special SIGGRAPH promotion offering free cloud rendering cycles to RenderMan users.
"In always rapidly paced advertising projects with tight deadlines, short budgets and a small team, RenderMan has proven to be the right tool offering superb creative power so our artists can create great imagery with quick response times, and it's fun and thrilling to use," said Armando "Doc" Ricalde CTO of Cluster Studios.
"RenderMan on Demand has been a lifesaver for us. On a recent job, an animation that would've taken a month to render in-house was rendered within a day on the cloud. Because of its speed and accessibility, it has become an integral part of our pipeline," said Simon Sangar, Senior VFX Artist, Bradley and Montgomery.
To read the official speaker schedule please visit: http://renderman.pixar.com/view/renderman2012
Pixar's SIGGRAPH 2012 booth (#644) in Los Angeles features regular demonstrations of the very latest RenderMan technology and products.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The attendant very kindly allowed us to check into the hotel before 16:00. The hotel was quiet and close to the downtown core. Hotels guests are not generally permitted to book in before 16:00h - a great inconvenience. The room was very dirty. There was no dishdetergent nor any dishclothes or dishtowels with which to clean dishes. The dishes were dirty. Hotel users are not likely to bring these items with them, and these should be provided.
Secure car parking was the reason we used this hotel and that was excellent. It was a gated car park underneath the hotel and and the car spaces were large enough to park a medium sized family car The room was relatively small and the kitchen facilities were very limited-there was no kettle and no large cups or mugs for drinks. There was a fridge and a 2 ring hob. When we stayed the temperature was in the 30's and the lack of airconditioning was a minus.
We enjoyed the central location and the privacy that the hotel afforded. The staff were very helpful and it was quiet at night.
Good, cheap accommodation for a quiet break in summer/autumn. Surrounded by nice mountain views and friendly pubs and restaurants (so different from Paris!) The beds were quite hard, and although the room had a nice kitchenette there wasn't any basic supplied like dishwashing liquid or coffee sachets (but easily fixed by a trip to the supermarket)
Hotel in a excellent position, with off road parking. Staff did not turn up until we had to phone them.
Availability of fridge and kitchenette in the room, good price, locked stroage for bicycles. Location a bit far from the station without a car, although a bus stop was available just outside the door,
area it was in Breakfast not available early at 7.30and then couldnt check out at 8am
Helpful staff
Information about parking should be clearer because unless i understood incorrectly we were advised that our car with roof box would not fit so we had to leave it parked on the main road outside.
Good location, plenty of secure parking and friendly front-desk staff. Getting served dinner after 830pm can prove very difficult. The restaurant serves until 10pm, however, because the restuarant is too small for the number of guests one is forced to wait a very long time to secure a table. For young children having to wwait can prove to be traumatic.
We only stayed 1 night but all staff were extremely nice and helpful particularly as I lost my mobile during our time there and they were most kind when I telephoned and they have posted it back to me.Thank you and we would most definitely stay again.
This is not a four star hotel. 3 stars would be more appropriate. The hotel rooms need refurbishing, furniture, carpet , are getting old . Wallpaper is coming off the waal.... Despite that is was a non-smoking room, the smell indicated heavy smoking in the room .
Comfort and good service To charge 18 euros for an ordinary breakfast of fruit juice, coffee and a piece of pastry is outrageous. We had to find alternatives elsewhere.
The location is good. But that's only the beginning, with hotels... The bed was the worst and most uncomfortable bed that we ever slept in, and the lady on reception didn't seem the slightest bit interested to hear about that. We checked out of the hotel and stayed another two nights in this town, but at another hotel.
The beds were too firm
Very well located, close to the Congress Center. Free internet.
good location
The building and rooms are a little old, minor details like painting not perfect an old TV, small indoor swimingpool, etc. But well located and excellent breakfast
For a wedding
A very elegant apartment, well planned and laid out with all sorts of gizmos - living flame gas fire, big screen TV, iPod, etc The apartment is not actually near the hotel. We arrived at a locked door with a note telling us to call them. They said they would be round to let us in in 15 minutes - we sat on the street till let in. The owner treated us as complete morons in expecting to be let in quicker. And was agresive towards us. Not a happy experience and left us disillusioned with he place, even though the apartment itself was very nice.
Friendly, luxurious great place to stay in a beatifull village.
Design, Top service. Everything was perfect. Its longtime I haven't fell so well in a hotel!!! No complaints at all.
Free very secure underground car parking. Large spacious room with good sized balcony. Free room safety deposit box. Helpful reception staff who spoke good English. Contiental breafast was extra cost and extremely poor value with little choice. Hotel was clean but generally was in need of a face lift.
Pleasant Staff, good service
Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. It is not located in downtown but in a very nice location next to the lake and easily accesible to downtown. If I rated "facilities" as regular it was because of the reasons enumerated below. It is supposed to have free internet connection and that is one of the reason why I've choosen it. But the wifi didn't work during my 3 days of stay and it was a real nuisance for me as the main reason of my stay was to work. The minibar was not enough supplied and when I asked for it they told me that that could not happen until next day. So I had to buy drinks at the bar, which was quite more expensive.
Fantastic location, wonderful views of mountains and lake, close to bars and restaurants, short drive into centre ville, rooms clean, large and comfortable, would definitely stay there again.
The leisure facilities ie pool etc
The hotel is a beautiful (chic, modern, clean, comfortable and on par with North Americans' relatively high expectations standards when it comes to hotel rooms) property located right on the lake/marina and away from the dowtown hustle and bustle. Signs to the hotel were posted in town, which made it relatively easy to find. The front desk staff were not particularly welcoming, friendly or helpful compared to most of the other hotels we stayed at. However, they were professional.
Very cosy hotel, situated just on the lake coast. Spa-center is very nice. The city center is not near, but the bus station is in 2 min. The breakfast is simple, but the dinner is one of the best in the city.
It was well situated at the side of the Lake. A marina was oposite which is entertaining for people who like boats. None
Good sized rooms, and although a little old fashioned in decoration, they were very comfortable. I wish I'd had more time to try out the facilities as the pool etc. looked great Breakfast was a little disappointing - the tea and coffee were cold and the staff on duty not overly helpful. the option of a cooked breadfast would have been nice.
well situated near the lake,the restaurants. easy access to the town by car.hotel was quiet and very relaxing.
Nice big room. Good place opposite the train station.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel was excellent. My wife would have liked tea making facilities in the room.
Check-in took less than a minute. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and warm.
The hotel was very convienently located opposite train station and was a short walk to the charming town centre. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was nice size and had everything you would need.
Location was great. Breakfast was not included.
Close to train station I felt prices of meals especially breakfast and drinks was too high
Efficient, practical, room clean and comfortable, buffet easy to access, garage convenient Pity there is no restaurant for dinner at the hotel, but room service was available and the restaurant outside was very close to the hotel, so it was not a major problem.
Excellent location right in the city center of Chambéry -- main attractions and the old city is right at the doorstep of the hotel. Very friendly, helpful staff. Not expensive, great for a city trip weekend!
A pleasant, traditional feel and ambiance, combined with good facilities and very friendly staff. Really good lack of a restaurant
Central location, ease of booking No
Nice hotel right in the centre of the town
Although receptionstaff were friendly and helpful, our stay was spoiled by the attitude of the staff at breakfast where we got the distinct impression that we were not specially welcome,
Wonderful charm. Free internet use on hotel computer. Highly recommended.
Location Yes. One of our rooms was infested with cockroaches. The bathroom smelled unpleasantly.
Very central with secure parking, helpful staff, comfortable and welcoming reception area Our room was very small with a small double bed even though it was furnished attractively in alpine style. Breakfast basic, should have been part of the room price. Only one small lift.
Design, decocaration. It is really beautiful and in city centre. That staff does not speak English.
The location of the hotel was very good. I thought our room was adequate but fairly expensive for the standard. Plenty of hot water but the bathroom was in great need of refurbishment. I found the bed uncomfortable.
We did not have much time to explore around the hotel or the facilities, the room was very comfortabel and quality of the bed was great. We did not stay for Breakfast but it seem little expensive at 20 Euro p.p for continantial breakfast.
The restaurant was excellent. The welcome wasn't very friendly, but other staff were nice.
20 Euros per person for the breakfast was far too much, more than 15 Euros can not be justified, also for such a hotel I also expected better foreign language skills.
The restaurant was excellent. The hotel appears to be mostly a good restaurant with room attached. This is fine for a single overnight stay but not for three nights. The facilities in the room were poor - no tea/coffee facilities, no note paper, no room service etc. The attitude of the hotel staff left a lot to be desired. The attitude of the restaurant staff was, however, excellent.
Had a great Time - stafdf was lovely - really appreciated the beatiful breakfast with a good choice - loved the poool too !! We will come back !! On a tout apprecie, l'hotel le staff , la petite piscine et aussi le cadre tres roimantique et très agreable !! Merci pour tout , ov va surmente raccomander votre Hotel Andrea - Italie
staff for their help and assistance. Cost of dinner - more than the room. re question below - yes but don't eat.
Its location Breakfast
Extremely good food, but expensive. Poor english spoken people. Very romantic room. We informed in before our engagement should be at the hotel during our stay. No "extra" from the hotel at all (glas of champagne, extra flowers at our table etc)
Room was large and well furnished with a spacious bathroom. Restaurant food was particularly good with an excellent, creative and innovative chef. One of the best meals we have eaten anywhere Difficult to find, final section of driveway hazardous, Room service drinks etc very expensive
Beautitul hotel, great bathroom! Poor selection at breakfast, not great value for money at 15 euros. Facilities to make a drink in your room would have been nice. No shower.
The room was nicely warm for our arrival on a cold night.The secure parking, (the gates are locked at night). The hotel is undergoing modernisation in certain areas, chiefly the restaurant area which appeared to affect the choice available for breakfast.
clean, comfortable - perfect for a stopover on way to ski resort
Clean and conveneant and not too expensive
Friendly staff - very clean hotel - good value for money Not easy to find - directions on the booking information should be better - location is not good - you need to stay on site or drive to find a good restaurant - but the the theme of Campanile
This is a good place to spend the night if you passes by Chambery. Do not spend time searching for resturants in the town Chambery. We were there at a sunday and hardly found any places to eat. It is better to use the hotel restaurant. They have a WI FI net at the hotel. Maybe the hotel personall should try to speak a little english.
Good bed size restaraunt on site easy to find kettle in room No cnn, or other english channels on tv some road noise
Quiet and pleasant. Good staff No
This is an ideal location for a one night stay. The evening meal and the breakfast were both good.
The reception desk staff were excellent The restaurant staff were awful.We were shown to our table then ignored for 20 minutes while people who came in after us were served drinks & had their orders taken.We left & found a very nice restaurant in the town centre.
Very efficient for business purposes. Right size of room and quite. Located near the industrial area but also at short distance of Chambery. Service as it should be, nice people!
We enjoyed a restful and relaxed stay at this modern, comfortable hotel. Reception was extremely helpful, speaking perfect English and our room was spacious, very clean and well decorated. We look forward to our next visit in 2011.
A first class place to stay.We would definately recommend the chateau
The restaurant was excelent. Service was "nice". The rooms were a bit outdated.
The Food No hot water in rooms allocated. New room had hot but not cold water, Gave up
The view and location was great. It was a charming place. Restaurant and breakfast were expensive.
The building and grounds Room was quiet Water was only slightly warm morning and evening Comforter on bed not as good as sheet and blanket as you are either too hot or too cool Meals were good in restaurant but seating us amongst a large group made dining unpleasant, we later dined elsewhere. No clean spaces for breakfast available.
The restaurant is fantastic, location, service and above all the food! We were received by a very unpleasant and rude female receptionist. Fortunately she was replaced by very nice and helpfull collegues the following morning and the day after. Our bathroom really needed some upgrading.
The chateau is remarkable and historical. The food is excellent.
Very relaxed and comfortable We used this as a stop over en route to the Alps. The room rate was very good value. The restuarant is very good but quite expensive
The hotel is in elegant converted chateau situated above the valley, with gardens and mature trees. Excellent restaurant, with tables on verandah. Interior of hotel a slight disappointment after elegant external appearance of chateau. Room was a little shabby, although perfectly clean and confortable
Setting and ambiance. no
Clean and welcoming. Cot provided automatically (although we indicated that we would bring our own) at no charge. Good stopover hotel. Swimming Pool included in information, but costs 10 EUR person/day. Description generous - playing fields and busy (noisy) road adjacent. Quite a way from both lake and town.
i have stayed in Aix Les Bains before but always in the centre of town. this hotel is a further out and a lot quieter as it is back from the main road, so for peaceful stay this is a very good hotel.
The staff were very friendly and the room was quiet. I would not class this Mercure as 4 star. It is very tired, and quite a way from both the lake and the city. The food was very average.
It wasn't the easiest hotel to find
Good location, spaceful room. I brought my swimsuit for spa, but they did not allow me to wear it, and forced us to buy sandal according to their rule.. so finally it costed more than 30 Euro/person just to enter spa area! You had better check their rule before going. Room maintainence and restaurant are poor for four-star hotel.
Could not buy a snack, very impersonal
It's a unique place in the heart of Chambery with parking facilities..Large rooms with antic furniture and paintings. Bathroom is large and renovated. Big flat screen TV and DVD player.Philippe and Edith were really lovely people. Good breakfast..Highly recommended accommodation. Nothing.
The warmth, graciousness, helpfullness and hospitality of our hosts was incomparable. The room was large and quite comfortable. The bed was also perfectly comfortable. the bathroom was spacious with two sinks and a very nice shower. The hotel is right in the heart of the old city in a gorgeous old building that contributes to a fine feeling for "place." Can't say enough good things about it.
Enjoyed our stay very much, we were made most welcome and everything was spotlessly clean. Our room was very spacious. We particularly enjoyed the violin solo at breakfast - thank you, Philipe! Took a little time to find, but well worth the search!
The peace and quiet!! It was a central location as well. No comment in this aspect.
very clean hotel with nice antique furnitures.The owner (couple) were very friendly, kind and helpful. Their hospitality were so good!! I would stay there if I visit Chambery.
no problems the hotel was resonable price clean & friendly. walking distance from aix town centre. restaurant overpriced
Nice clean hotel but How many hotels in this day and age do not have a restaurant or bar This hotel is obviously a summer hotel. It needs to maintain its standards all year round
We booked the hotel for 2 nights, but could stand it only for one (extremely noisy location, no condition, bad chemical smell). The personnel was nice and understanding and refunded us the second nice (and paid some compensation!). So we moved to Villa Marlioz 5 min away,which is lovely! I would keep only the seconf part of this hotel (ARIANA 4*), and simply close this one, as it is not suitable for holidays
Nice clean hotel with good parking facilities, Key to our decision to stay here. Food in resataurant was very poor. Waited almost an hour for main course and was then hard (Duck). Waiters do not speak English either.
Confortable room- nice to extend your journey if you like for a special price The staff is not speaking English fluently- the use of the facilities should be for free for the customers of the hotel and open also in the evening
The personnel were friendly. The restaurant service in the sister hotel was friendly but very much cafeteria quality. We were served by five different staff. The minute you were finished your course your next course was served by another member of staff with no time to relax between courses.. The overall experience in the restaurant was appalling. I feel qualified to make these comments as I have had and run my own rerestau
Room and price
Decor and bathroom, location
Nice little hotel to stay in, and in summer would be lovely just about beside the lake.
There was a fine atmosphere at the reception when we came, and that lastet during all our stay. We appriciate that.
The hotel was used soley as a one night stop-over with late arrival. Not an ideal stay for a review Romm and bathroom were well furnished with pleasant attractive and out of the ordinary decor. Bathroom was well equipped but shower arrangement was impractical causing some flooding
Room is small. It was noisy in the morning due to the nearby street.
Small, welcoming hotel
A super deal in every respect-we would go again
Superb position beside the lake and ready access to a number of good restaurants. Good bathroom.
Good location, close to the lake and restaurant. Easy to get to (10 minutes by taxi from train station)

Status quo or no? Critz vs. Burns race building
When Democrat Mark Critz faced Republican businessman Tim Burns in May's special election for the 12th Congressional District seat, the race attracted national attention.
Both sought to fill the unexpired term left by the sudden death in February of Democrat John Murtha, Pennsylvania's longest-serving congressman, and news reporters speculated that a second Democratic stronghold could fall to Republicans after Scott Brown's surprising win in Massachusetts for the late Ted Kennedy's Senate seat.
Yet Critz prevailed. Helped by a 2-to-1 registration advantage and a strong union get-out-the-vote effort, Critz -- Murtha's former district director -- beat Burns by more than 7 percentage points to finish the term.
The national news media largely are ignoring the candidates' Nov. 2 rematch. But people in the district cannot ignore the race: Critz and Burns are saturating television with political ads, filling mailboxes with leaflets and knocking on doors.
Until a few weeks ago, Ernest Mantini, a dentist who lives just south of Johnstown, said he intended to vote for Critz. But like many voters disenchanted with the status quo in Washington, he changed his mind.
"I don't like how one party has all of the power in government," Mantini said. "Maybe with a Republican majority in the House, we can slow things down a bit."
James Cavanaugh of Vandergrift disagrees. He thinks President Obama is doing a fine job, and Cavanaugh's supporting Critz for Congress.
"I don't think people have given the Democrats a chance," said Cavanaugh, 62, a retired truck driver and disabled veteran. "What are they going to do• Things are tough."
Critz of Johnstown plans to tour Bucyrus America's plant in Houston, near Burns' hometown of Eighty Four, on Tuesday with Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., to talk about the House's "Make it in America" agenda. Bucyrus America manufactures mining equipment with 300 employees there.
Hoyer's appearance follows two fundraisers Critz held with Democratic leaders: Vice President Joe Biden in Pittsburgh and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in Washington.
Since taking office five months ago, Critz has cast 280 votes -- 265 of them, or 94.6 percent, in line with the majority Democrats' position. Yet, typically, Critz backs away from that association when in his district.
He declares in his latest television ad, for example: "I'm pro-life, pro-gun, and I'll always be an independent voice in Congress."
Burns is campaigning hard to counter Critz's ads labeling him as a "millionaire businessman" with a secret agenda of privatizing Social Security.
"I grew up in a half a double in Johnstown that my parents didn't even own," Burns said during a recent visit to Brownsville in Fayette County. "I went to a state university and was a computer geek."
His love of computer science led to a business that employed more than 400 people in Moon Township before he sold it.
Rather than privatizing Social Security, the Republican said, he would "work to pass a bill to put money back in the Social Security trust fund."
"The biggest concern I hear is: Where are the jobs?" Burns said. He also hears complaints about government spending "and a lot of concern among many of our district's seniors who are facing their second year in a row without a cost-of-living increase in their Social Security benefits."
Indeed, in the district meandering through a small patch of Allegheny County, all of Greene County and large portions of Armstrong, Cambria, Fayette, Indiana, Somerset, Washington and Westmoreland counties, high unemployment makes jobs and the economy top issues for voters.
"Creating jobs is a complex equation," Critz said from his campaign office in Johnstown, "in that government can play a role by being a partner with state and local governments, with funding coming from (the) private sector."
With unemployment nationally exceeding 9 percent, Critz maintains the White House stimulus program worked as it was supposed to, keeping people employed on infrastructure projects. The Democrat said he's frustrated that corporations and smaller businesses "are sitting on money that could be used to hire people."
Burns said he understands why companies might do that: "There is too much pocketbook uncertainty for them right now because they don't know if they need to adjust for a tax hike or if regulations are on the horizon. And no one knows how the health care reform bill will hit their bottom line."
In Johnstown, the largest municipality in the district, Murtha loomed large for decades. As head of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, he steered defense and military research contracts to companies there.
Still, many people in the district have struggled financially since its manufacturing base eroded in the 1980s and 1990s, said Chris Borick, an associate professor of political science at Muhlenberg College in Allentown. That means "they probably have a little more realistic perspective of what government can and cannot do."
"Although jobs and the economy dwarf any other issue, it may not be the deciding issue when residents go to vote," Borick said. "Which candidate creates the highest energy is still to be determined. Yes, Critz has the built-in advantage of the labor unions, but Republican and independent voters are highly motivated to turn out."Additional Information:

Members of credit unions and building societies would gain tax breaks on interest earned on deposits under a plan being considered by government officials to curb the power of major banks.
The radical idea has already received positive feedback from Treasury and key independent senator
It is one of 10 recommendations made to the Senate inquiry into bank competition by Australia's 115 building societies and credit unions, which Treasurer
Labor has defended attacks on banks by flagging moves to make it easier for customers to take their money elsewhere.
Senator Xenophon, who helped set up the banking inquiry, said the tax break idea for so-called mutuals was worth serious consideration.
"Now is the time to consider these sorts of ideas with a view to shaking up the sector to make it more competitive," Senator Xenophon said. "It would put more concrete and marble into the fifth pillar."
Securitisation markets, the main source of funding for regional banks and heavily used by many mutuals, shrank during the financial crisis, and smaller lenders have struggled to attract funding at rates that allow them to compete with major banks.
The plan pushed by Abacus, which represents the mutual sector, rests on allowing building societies and credit unions to distribute franking credits to their members.
Louise Petschler, chief executive of Abacus, said the idea had been discussed with Treasury officials who encouraged Abacus to do more work on it. Like banks, mutuals pay corporate tax on their profits. But while banks can turn that tax into franking credits distributed to shareholders via dividends, mutuals have no way of giving the same benefit to their owners. This is because mutuals are owned by their customers, who receive better prices on their loans and deposits rather than dividends.
Ms Petschler said mutuals were sitting on $2 billion of franking credits that were unusable.
But a use could be found with the creation of a new type of investment product, similar to a deposit, to which the franking credit would attach. The franking credit would offset the need for the deposit holders to pay income tax on the interest received.
The plan would allow mutuals to offer an attractive deposit product that would draw customers away from the banks, she said.
She conceded it could be difficult to implement but would lower mutuals' cost of funding, enabling them to offer home loans at more competitive rates.
"We would be able to increase our savings pool and for us it's all about funding," she said.
Mr Swan has promised to unveil a series of reforms this month aimed at improving competition in the banking sector. In late November he hinted that credit unions and building societies would be given assistance, saying "the government is determined to see a new pillar in the banking system, particularly based on our mutual sector".
The "four pillars" policy refers to the government's desire to oppose any further consolidation between the major banks. Abacus's submission was given to the Senate yesterday and is expected to be made public today.
Ms Petschler said the submission also urged the government to reintroduce a wholesale funding guarantee with the same fee for mutuals as large banks as well as broaden the Australian Office of Financial Management's mandate to allow it to buy lower-quality tranches of residential mortgage-backed securities. The AOFM has already committed to purchasing $16 billion of RMBS issued by small lenders, part of a scheme to keep alive the RMBS market, which is a critical funding source for small lenders.
The AOFM's program also features heavily in Bank of Queensland's submission.
The regional lender wants the government to pour another $16 billion into that program, tax incentives to be given to superannuation funds to invest in RMBS and for the government to adopt the Canadian government's scheme, whereby it buys mortgages from banks and then issues government-guaranteed bonds.
It also wants capital rules to be changed so regional banks need only to risk-weight their mortgages in the same way as major banks. Special rules that apply to large banks mean they hold about half the capital against the same mortgage as would be held by a small bank.
Australian Industry Group used its submission to put the spotlight on business lending. While Australians would opt for the experience of their financial markets during the past few years ahead of just about any other developed country, many businesses believed access to finance was affecting their profit growth, Ai Group said.
"Our members, particularly our smaller members, feel that they are in the firing line and report greater difficulties in accessing external funding. They also feel that they are paying more for funds than has traditionally been the case relative to the cash rate, to home mortgage rates and to rates paid by larger businesses," Ai Group said in its submission.
Ai Group did not make any recommendations but said it was very wary of plans to ban price-signalling, saying this would place burdens on many businesses without any discernable benefits. Ai Group's concern about small business lending receives support from the submission made by the Reserve Bank of Australia. It states that since mid-2007 the spread between the cash rate and small business lending rates has risen by 1.7 percentage points compared with an increase of 1 percentage point for large business.

text: Hi: I'm running torque 1.20p3 under RH 9.0 on our 64-node cluster. The production scheduler is PBS sched. I'm trying to replace that with Maui (3.26p14). I created the Maui executables without problem and have the basic cfg file. I configured maui to run in test mode for evaluation purposes. Each time I start Maui, messages are written to the log and then the Maui scheduler core dumps. Edited version of the log: 04/04 16:54:17 INFO: starting Maui version ################## 04/04 16:54:17 MAMSetDefaults() 04/04 16:54:17 ServerProcessArgs(1,ArgV,0) 04/04 16:54:17 starting version Maui (PID: 24030) on Tue Apr 4 16:54:17 04/04 16:54:17 MPBSInitialize(ARGO-NEW,SC) 04/04 16:54:18 WARNING: cannot bind to port 15004, errno: 98 (Address already in use) 04/04 16:54:18 WARNING: cannot connect to PBS scheduler port 15004 04/04 16:54:18 __MPBSSystemQuery(ARGO-NEW,RCount,SC) 04/04 16:54:18 INFO: connected to PBS server :0 on sd 1 04/04 16:54:18 INFO: XRMInitialize not supported 04/04 16:54:18 MPBSClusterQuery(ARGO-NEW,RCount,SC) 04/04 16:54:18 __MPBSGetNodeState(Name,State,PNode) 04/04 16:54:18 INFO: PBS node argo4-4 set to state Idle (free) 04/04 16:54:18 INFO: node slot not set on node 'argo4-4' ... 04/04 16:54:18 INFO: resources detected: 64 04/04 16:54:18 MPBSWorkloadQuery(ARGO-NEW,JCount,SC) The messages stop at the PBSWorkloadQuery. I would expect Maui shouldn't be able to talk to PBS via 15004 because that port is already in use as part of the production environment. The only thing I can think of is my old version of torque is not compatable with the more recent Maui? Can anyone make any suggestions or point me in the right direction. I've persused the logs and nothing seems to jump out. Thanks.

Nutcracking Machine
Electric Walnut Cracker, Cracking Machine
Price $5000.00
plus s/h
This machine is built to crack black walnuts, which are the hardest nuts to crack. Since it will do this with ease, it will also crack all smaller and softer nuts. The machine's solid steel design is very strong and durable. It weighs over 250 lbs. It will crack a 5 gallon bucket full of nuts over 20 lbs. worth in less than 1 minute. The machine is adjustable to all sizes of nuts. There is a slide plate to move closer or farther from the roller. This will allow you to crack all sizes of nuts and also governs how cracked you want them. It runs on an electric motor that is 110v, with a gear drive reducer to slow the roller down. We are a small company and make the machines when ordered. We do not sell a lot of these machines because it's a limited market. Most of are customers are in the nut cracking business of some kind or end up being in the cracking business after buying a machine. Most of our machines sold have been picked up right here at our shop. But we have shipped a few.
I get lots of questions about separating the shells from the meat. Unfortunately I have not found a mechanical way of doing this and it still has to be done by hand. We are however working on a prototype machine to hull the walnuts. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

After you have finished packing, you can put your lock on the container and keep the key. The moving & storage service will collect it deliver it at your new home when you are ready to unpack. You can also ask for a 28' trailer to be dropped at your home and pay for the space you actually use.
Driving a rented moving truck may seem to be a lot cheaper, but don't forget about the money you will have to spend on gas, tolls, motels, and food on the way. It will take quite a lot of time and you will have to do all the hard work yourself. You can hire some moving help to assist you with the heavy lifting and driving.
The cheapest option may be to transport your things as freight. This is a kerb to kerb service and you will have to do all the packing, loading, and unloading yourself.
If you are doing the packing yourself, buy high quality boxes for moving and moving supplies and start packing non-essential items as early as possible. Packing is much easier if you pack a few boxes moving every day.
Use color-coded labels to ensure that each box will be placed in the room for which it is meant in your new home. Make a floor plan of your new home and mark the positions where you want your furniture and appliances to be placed. Give a copy to the movers.
We can help you to get free moving quotes from pre-screened moving services in your area. You will receive quotes from highly regarded moving and storage companies that have been providing outstanding service to their customers. We only deal with moving companies that have transparent rates and terms.
Your contact details will not be given to anyone without your consent and there are no charges or obligations involved at all. Find out about how we can help you now!

Good evening Noisebridge,

a couple of days ago I made the recommendation to someone to not hang their jacket over the chair in which they were sitting. I did this because the jacket was touching the floor and collecting dust because of it's size.Ā

I have moved an unused clothing rack to the front for people to hang there jackets on, and the funny thing about it is that it doesn't have any hangers to allow people to efficiently do so (the can only hang clothes over the bar if they wish.).Ā

If there are a couple of people who would like bring a couple of hangers for the rack or donate some that would be awesome.Ā

Regards.

Robert Albert Young Chu (Rayc)

OH AND... Thank you Jason for buying an ink cartridge for the printer.Ā

- Rudd still the people's pick
- Time we heard truth about real Kevin
- Locked in the fight of their lives
The latest polls look so bleak for Prime Minister Julia Gillard that she should consider not contesting Monday's Labor leadership ballot, Kevin Rudd's campaign manager says.
Speaking outside Mr Rudd's home in Brisbane, Labor strategist Bruce Hawker said the public had clearly shown they wanted Mr Rudd leading the country, rather than Ms Gillard.
"I think the Prime Minister should actually think about whether she stands on Monday," he told reporters.
"I think it's that serious, because the public is saying, 'We want Kevin Rudd.' She's got to consider whether the public is right or the back rooms and the factional leaders are right."
Three separate polls released overnight demonstrate that Mr Rudd remains broadly popular with Australian voters as he prepares for Monday's Labor leadership showdown.
Voters prefer him as Labor leader over Ms Gillard by wide margins in all three polls.
He gets the nod by 58 per cent in a Nielsen Poll, 53 per cent in a Newspoll and 52 per cent in a Galaxy Poll, while Gillard polls 34, 30 and 26 per cent respectively.
Mr Hawker said any Labor caucus member with a margin of less than ten per cent in their electorate was at risk of losing their seat without switching their support to Mr Rudd.
"They can sit back and look at what might have been ... or we can go to Tony Abbott. That's the choice they have to make on Monday," he said.
He added it was critically important to secure the support of House of Representatives leader Anthony Albanese, who will speak to reporters later on Saturday.

Steven King Wants Lindsay Lohan To Play Carrie, If A Remake Happens
"I've heard rumblings about a 'Carrie' remake, as I have about 'The Stand' and 'It.' Who knows if it will happen? The real question is why, when the original was so good? I mean, not 'Casablanca' or anything, but a really good horror-suspense film, much better than the book. Piper Laurie really got her teeth into the bad-mom thing. Although Lindsay Lohan as Carrie White … hmmm. It would certainly be fun to cast. I guess I could get behind it if they turned the project over to one of the Davids: Lynch or Cronenberg."
—Steven King shares that he'd prefer that the original "Carrie," one of our top 10 prom movies, not be remade. But if it is, he could see LiLo in the lead role. I dunno—that could be pretty awesome. And I cosign on David Lynch directing. [EW]
