Opening comments:
"What a game. I give those guys credit on the other side; they played a heck of a football game. We were fortunate to find a way to win. I'm proud of our kids because they did find a way to win. We did not play a really good game in probably any of the phases, but we made enough plays to win a football game and that's what it boils down to."
What were the final few minutes like for you?
"Wild, hectic. Proud of the kickoff team, they had prepared that for a few weeks and they executed it. And I told them if I call the thing it has to work, and they did it. And I thought the offense did a nice job of eating up four minutes, and they did a nice job of that."
Was that your call on the onside kick?
"They said, 'Do you want to do it?' They wouldn't have called it without me, I assure you."
Was the thought process not putting your defense back on the field?
"It was more, throughout the game they were saying, 'Look, it's there, it's there.' And then they said it again, and I said, 'You know what, it's the right time to do it,' and it worked. If not, you would be crucifying me right now. But they did a nice job. And I had confidence that the guys would get it done, and that was the key. If it was 50-50 in my head, I probably wouldn't have done it. But I really felt confident that they would execute it. Ron West coaches that group and they have been working hard on it."
On Mitch Trubisky coming in and throwing the touchdown pass:
"I'm happy with what we've been doing with Mitch. I know a lot of people think that we're idiots, but I think it paid off for him in that situation. He went out there he was calm, he knew what he was doing, and he executed the play and threw a touchdown pass. It was good for him and all the work he's put in. And those players talking about it in the locker room afterward; they were all over him. It was a great play by him and he executed, he never blinked."
Did you consider calling a timeout in that situation?
"Thought about it, I did."
What was the overriding factor?
"I thought Mitch would go out there and execute, I really did."
Did you think they were looking for something a little safer than that?
"I knew what we were calling, we'd already made the call. And when we said Mitch was going, I said, 'That's good, he'll be fine.' He knew the play and he executed it."
On Mack Hollins's role:
"The guy just makes plays is all he does. It doesn't matter what we ask him. He's on the kickoff team, the punt return team, the punt team. What's left? Whatever one I didn't say, he's on that one too. Kickoff return? So he's on three of the four. If you want a play made, you can go to Mack and he's going to make a play. He'll find a way to make a play. He did that last year on all of the special teams, and now he's doing it at wide receiver, and he's still doing it on special teams. And Tommy, those two great punts in that situation, two great punts to pin them down there like that."
Des Lawrence made a few big plays:
"Des is just growing and growing. Young kid, and getting better and better like a lot of these guys are. Again, I don't think there is anybody on the team who will tell you today afterward that they played a great game. Mack might tell you that, but Mack will tell you that all the time. None of them are going to say that. But what they did was they did enough to win the football game and that's what is important. And we need to learn from it, we need to grow from it, we need to correct the mistakes, and we need to play much better in this next week. No doubt about it."
How big is it for you guys to win a game knowing you didn't play your best, and that every game is a must-win for you?
"I think it's really big. We talked about that going into last week's game versus Georgia Tech that we're in the playoffs basically, that's what we're in. Our guys are confident, they feel good about where they're at, they know on the outside nobody believes it, but that's ok. We only need the guys in that room to believe it, and they're believing it. I was so pleased with offense talking to defensive guys, about 'don't worry about it, we got you, we'll be all right.' Defensive guys saying it to the offensive guys when they were struggling. We're starting to grow and grow as a team, and that excites me about the future."
Can you speak to your defense having a lot of big stops in the second half?
"I think you said 130 yards in the second half and two turnovers. First half, it wasn't good and they came back out and stopped the run. They really did a good job against the run in the second half and made them throw the football, and played the game plan the way that we wanted to play it from the beginning , we just didn't start until the second half."
Can you talk about the field goal kicking situation, and did you ever think about changing kickers?
"No. I put him out there on the last one to kick it through. I felt like he was going to put it through the middle and we were going to win the football game. He was struggling, but he's also the same guy that kicked that onside kick. I mean I had the confidence to do that, and that was probably a little more important at that time. Hey, some days you just don't hit it right, it's just the way it is. But he'll be fine, he's got confidence. He was ok on the sideline, I talked to him and looked him in the eye, he was good. Hey, he just didn't hit them."
Does it mean something to these guys with all the attention given to Marquise, that he wasn't on the field for the big play?
"I don't think we have anybody that's jealous of anybody on this team, or worries about that. We've got a really good group of guys that really just want to be successful, they don't care how it happens, they're fighting and scratching and clawing, we're behind the eight ball and they just kept fighting. And let me tell you, when I mentioned Mitch's name in there, Marquise was the first one off the ground. He was so fired up for him for him, those guys are close. They pull for each other; it doesn't matter who is on the field really."
Whose idea was the onside kick?
"Ron West. He's the one that said it was there."
What were you seeing from UVa that made you think it was there?
"Their alignment. Their alignment and the way they were dropping out of it in those situations. Georgia Tech ran one on us last week, and it was the other way around and we got it. We just felt like if we could get it in that situation that might be the thing that breaks their back."
Did you know they had 12 men on the field, and how good did it feel for it not to be you?
"No, I didn't know it. A lot better than it would've been if it was us."
On the offense:
"I'm not sure offensively when we looked good, actually. We made some big plays. But if you really watch us offensively, we had no consistency. I don't think the offensive line played well at all. That's not getting on them, that's just not who we are up front. They've been getting better and better every week, and we need to figure that out, and see what the problem was. Part of that might be what Virginia was doing. They've got some players over there on that defense, they've been playing much better all year."
On his team facing adversity:
"We talk a lot about adversity, and overcoming adversity, and not blinking in the face of adversity and knowing that it'll happen. If you keep playing and keep playing hard, and play harder than your opponent you can overcome anything you really can. And if we've got 72 guys who truly believe that, it won't matter what anybody else thinks, it'll work."
On the Lucas Crowley injury:
"I don't know. Rolled his ankle or something, I don't really know."
On the Nazair Jones interception:
"I actually didn't see the pick, I was looking somewhere else at the time until everybody started yelling and I saw him running. I saw the screen setting up. He's 6-foot-5 and 290 pounds and he's mobile. That was big, because I know screens were a big part of that they've done in the past and I know our guys worked really hard on it, so it was good to see them execute on that from their work in practice."

Laurence S. Eagleburger is from a long line of sick sick ancestors who enjoy eating burgers made from eagles.
His last name says it all, people; this guy has singlehandedly depleted the Eagle population by having illegal cookouts at his evil hideout while dressing in drag. In fact, his name should be: Laurence EvildirtyunamericancommielovingMichaelMoorebangingbabysatanworshipper.
Oh, and by the way, who spells 'Lawrence' with a 'u' where the 'w' should be? A pagan, and a Commie pagan at that!
Mr. Eagleburger, you have never been on the Colbert Report, but you may as well be dead to Stephen, you dirty old bastard. You even had the nerve to call for the impeachment of The Greatest President Ever.
What happened to this once great Real American?

BERLIN (AP) Thousands of fans have cheered the return of Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel to Berlin.
The 23-year-old German celebrated his victory by driving in front of the capital's landmark Brandenburg Gate on Saturday.
German news agency DAPD quoted the Red Bull driver as saying his "dreams have become true." The youngest F1 champion said his goal was to successfully defend his title next season.
Organizers said about 85,000 people turned out to greet Vettel despite freezing temperatures. Police did not give an independent crowd estimate.
Vettel won the title on Nov. 14 at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Samsung Galaxy B rumored to feature edge-to-edge display
February 24, 2012 at 3:35 pm
Latest reports allege that Samsung is currently working on a smartphone with a edge-to-edge screen, called the Samsung Galaxy B.
According to Korean newspaper Maeil Business (via Sammyhub), the company has been working on the device for a while now and it is said to be marketed in the second or third quarter of 2012.
The only bezel would lie at the top of the handset, at the level of the camera, sensor and ear-piece that have to be integrated. No physical buttons would be placed at the bottom of the unit.
Some speculate that such a design could be featured on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S3. Last October images of the S3 leaked on the net, showing no sign of side borders.
In addition, the smartphone is rumored to sport OLED, AMOLED or flexible screen technology with which Samsung has been juggling lately.
As for features of the Galaxy S3, its existence was confirmed last month when Samsung's senior vice president of marketing Younghee Lee revealed that the company is "still reviewing" when the next Galaxy S phone will be launched.

Gap Junctions:
Approximately one in nine Canadian women will develop breast cancer at some stage of their life. Patients with advanced breast cancer respond poorly to conventional treatments, presumably due to the presence of drug resistant tumors. It has been well established that many primary tumors (including mammary tumors) have little or no gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC). Up-regulation of gap junctions in a number of tumor cell lines results in growth suppression both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that at least some members of the gap junction family called connexins (Cx), are tumor suppressors. In the Laird laboratory we focus on Cx43 and Cx26 as they are the only two connexins expressed in human breast epithelium. It is our hypothesis that down-regulation of GJIC plays a role in breast cancer development, progression and metastasis. In this study we are examining the mechanism of how gap junctions are down-regulated in mammary tumor cells and investigating possible therapeutic implications of up-regulating gap junctions in human mammary tumor cells. Mammary gland specific deletions of connexins in mouse models are also being used to investigate the tumor protective properties of connexins.
Malignant melanoma is one of the most deadly cancers accounting for ~79% of all skin cancer-related deaths. Analysis of a limited sample archive reported in the Human Protein Atlas revealed that Panx1 is up-regulated in ~70% of all human melanoma tumors samples. High levels of Panx1 were also found in lung, colorectal and non-melanoma skin cancer samples suggesting that Panx1 may be important in tumor onset and/or progression. We have found that Panx1 is expressed at low levels in skin melanocytes and is highly upregulated in malignant melanoma cells. Upon Panx1-knockdown, melanoma cells resemble normal melanocytes in cell morphology and melanin production, exhibiting reduced migration and growth. In vivo, Panx1-depleted cells formed smaller melanoma tumors in the chick chorioallantoic membrane and had significantly reduced metastasis to the liver of the avian embryos. Therefore, we propose that Panx1 is significantly up-regulated as melanocytes transform into melanomas and, moreover, a targeted knockdown of Panx1 may reduce the tumorigenic properties of melanomas. Thus, in this research project, we are continuing to examine the role of pannexins in melanoma disease progression and assessing whether it may be a possible therapeutic target.

The PEUGEOT 308 was crowned upon its release with the prestigious title of 2014 "European Car of the Year", awarded by a jury of 58 senior European motoring journalists representing 22 European countries.
The European Car of the Year is an expert, independent judgement of all new cars on the European market. It is an international award, judged by a panel of senior motoring journalists across Europe. Its object is to acclaim the most outstanding new car to go on sale in the 12 months preceding the date of the title.
30 new models from American, Korean, European and Japanese manufacturers, on sale in Europe during 2013, were eligible for the 2014 "European Car of the Year" award. This list was reduced to seven finalist models. The 308 was the winner having received 307 points.
The 2014 "European Car of the Year" title represents the most prestigious recognition for the 308, which embodies the brand's values of excellence, in terms of its design, elegant and dynamic, efficient concept based on an advanced approach to weight reduction, driving experience with its innovative instruments and controls (the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit) playing a part and quality of the highest level.
In addition, the development of the 308 included 4 million km of test driving, plus 15,000 hours of endurance testing to ensure we built the best car possible...no wonder the 308 was awarded with one of the most coveted automotive awards in the world.
The 308 Touring has undergone vigorous and extensive testing to ensure its quality is second to none. Using new manufacturing processes and only the best materials, gives it a pure style throughout. It's sound-proofed for an undisturbed ride, and a range of high quality seating trims mean that the interior is both beautiful and durable, making it perfect for family life.
We know we've built a strong, high quality car, but, just to be on the safe side, we've put it through its paces with over 4,000,000 kilometres of test driving and 15,000 hours of endurance testing. That's the meaning of quality.

The 308 Touring is packed full of technology to give you the ultimate driving experience. A lower centre of gravity, a more compact steering wheel and newly-developed electric power steering gives the 308 Touring an incredibly responsive and controlled driving experience.LEARN MORE ABOUT THE 308 TOURING's PERFORMANCE
The PEUGEOT i-Cockpit reflects the simple yet intuitive nature of the 308 Touring. With a sporty driving position and a compact, responsive steering wheel, the dials are positioned directly above it so you can keep your eyes on the road. The large 9.7" colour touch screen houses most of the car's onboard technology which means full control is right at your fingertips.LEARN MORE ABOUT THE 308 TOURING's TECHNOLOGY
The 308 was subjected to a significant amount of durability testing in its deveopment phase. In addition to 4 million kilometres of test driving, the 308 underwent 15,000 hours of endurance testing, including 2,500 hours of 4-post rig testing. The air conditioning was tested for 250,000 cycles, the touchscreen had around 4.3 million press actions without failure and there are 1,800 quality controls in factory final acceptance. That's the meaning of quality.

The 308 Touring is both stylish and spacious, making it the perfect family car. With a stunning profile, its distinctive bonnet and large wheel arches give it a sporty appearance, and it comes with full LED headlights and rear lights to improve visibility and reduce energy consumption. The minimal interior feels modern and sleek, and with bags of room for all the family and anything else you need to take with you, the 308 Touring is truly a car of both style and substance.LEARN MORE ABOUT THE 308 TOURING's INTERIOR DESIGN
The 308 Touring comes with a sizeable 625 litre boot space and is 140kg lighter than its predecessor. It even boasts a 'Magic Flat' rear seat, which allows you to instantly fold down the two sides of the back seat with handy switches on both sides of the boot. The result means an even larger boot area spanning 1,740 litres, whenever you need it. As for efficiency, you have a choice from a 110kW THP turbo petrol engine or a Euro 6 110kW BlueHDi turbo diesel. With CO2 emissions of just 111g/km and combined fuel consumption as low as 4.2l/100kmiFuel consumption results are based on NEDC's standard test procedure to provide customers with a basis for comparison of the performance of vehicles in accordance with ADR 81/02 only. No test can simulate all 'real world' driving conditions. Actual on-road fuel consumption is will vary due to factors such as traffic conditions, vehicle conditions and load, fuel quality and how the vehicle is driven.

Ex threatening Court Action Unless i Agree to His Maintenance Offer(80 Posts)
Been trying to sort the finances out for the past 12 months with my ex (we divorced at the beginning of this year), i made an offer two weeks ago asking for spousal and child maintenace until our youngest leaves FT education in six years. I'm back at university now, and hopeful of getting a much better paid job in two years time, then i can try and improve my credit rating so i'll be able to take on a mortgage on a family size home myself.
My ex is saying (his solicitor has spoken to mine this morning) unless i agree to him ending maintenace when our youngest is 18 is will file court papers next week.
Has anyone been in this position, and braved it out? Did your ex actually file court papers, or did they threaten too but then come to an agreement before doing it?
Really don't know what to do about this, am on a low income and can't afford the legale fees for a court case, but if i agree to my ex's offer, we'll be selling the family home in 3 years time, and trying to rent with my bad credit rating.
Hoping someone whose been in this position can give me some advice.
My husband and his ex went to court. Wouldn't recommend it - legal fees ate up huge amounts of money and both ended up with less than if she'd accepted what he first offered.
But the judge awarded spousal maintenance exactly in line with CSA requirements.....which is until the end of full time education (A-levels) but not further education. I'd not expect a court to award child maintenance beyond that point.
So the question is over whether you should get spousal maintenance for that long. Is there any other way - could you have a greater % share of assets instead, but then the shorter maintenance period? DH's ex was awarded 4 years spousal maintenance (until Stepson was 14). She'd not worked for 10 years. But she did get the majority of the assets.
In the south east there are plenty of cases where a wife gets spousal maintenance after the children have left home. No-one on these threads could possibly say whether this might be the case for OP
"I gave up a high paid job nearly ten years ago, to care for my termily ill Dad"
I really fail to see that this makes your ex husband financially responsible for you now.
Crikey these men make me feel sick.
If they were still with the mother of their child, would they financially support their DC through further education?
If they were still with the mother of their child, would they support their DC post A levels by providing bed and board?
If they were still with the mother of their child, would they do everything to ensure stability for their DC through the provision of a stable home?
If the answer to any of those questions is yes then why be an arse just because you walked out?
Please don't think of court as some sort of scary place/being prosecuted.
If you will not agree his offer and he won't agree with what you want, the court is the only way that you have left, for someone else to decide. Your DH has no other way to go.
Collaborate - `In this situation you need legal advice rather than a McKenzie Friend, whose function is to assist you during court proceedings when you are otherwise too emotional to deal properly with it. Most McKenzie Friends will not try and advise you in relation to financial orders on divorce, and the rest to be frank shouldn't'
My partner is a McKenzie Friend, a trained paralegal and has 14 years of experience of civil litigation. I'm aware of many other McKenzie Friends who are also assisting in finance hearings too. My partner has found that a lot of Family Law solicitors have little contract law knowledge and increasingly she's dealing with hearings that need a knowledge of both.
I'm not sure what you mean by a "trained paralegal". People measure training by qualifications. Paralegals need have no particular qualifications.
As a solicitor I have to undertake at least 16 hours of professional development (education) a year. To continue with my professional accreditations I need to, once every 5 years, sit an examination (for one) and for another attend regular meetings.
I had 4 years of pre-and -post-graduate study behind me when I qualified, together with 2 years of being a trainee solicitor (similar to being a paralegal but with an obligation in the firm to train) and still wasn't comfortable giving advice until I'd been doing it a few years.
Seldom does contract law come in to divorce disputes, as the court can alter existing contractual obligations between the parties.
so your son reaches 18 in 3 years time, but you want your ex to support you both for another 3 years?
I can see why you might want/expect him to help support your son for longer, but not why he should support you. You are divorced, with that comes a financial break from each other.
"Crikey these men make me feel sick.If they were still with the mother of their child, would they financially support their DC through further education?"
There is nothing in the OP to suggest the father has any objection to supporting his adult child through university. He has clearly raised an objection to paying maintenance to his adult child's mother. Two very different things.
My ex is refusing to pay supporting his child through HE as well as maintenace for me.
The only reason i would like maintenance to be paid until my youngest son is 21 is that currently I earn less then 10k a year. I've been refused a mortgage in my own name, when i tried to rent last year i was refused on my credit rating (and i had to pay for the credit check to be carried out).
I've just started a university qualification that means hopefully in two years i'll be qualified to apply for a much better paid job , which in turns mean i'll be able to apply for a mortgage in my own name. Unfortunately i don't see that happening straight away after i qualify.
I've been told by my solicitor that with my low income, and my ex's high income i'd more then likely be awarded spousal maintenace for a long time to come. I actually don't want his money, which is why i'm studying and working at the same time, but i can't magically go from earning my current low salary to earning enough to pay a mortgage, which is why i'm asking for maintenace for 3 years after my youngest son turns 18. Once i manage to get a better paid job, i'll look into re mortgaging in my own name, so i'm hoping we can leave this house (its actually very big and costs too much to heat, so we rarely have the heating on, i wouldn't be hear if i could find somewhere smaller) in 3 to 4 years time, before my youngest is 21. Its doing us no good living in a house that isn't going to be permanent, the sooner i can re mortgage myself, the better as far as i'm concerned.
I'm not a money grabbing ex wife trying to hang onto her ex's money for as long as she can, i really don't have a choice at them moment. My ex has told me, if our sons live with me then i should maintain them, and that seems to be what is driving him with his current actions.
Perhaps you should claim spousal maintenance and use that to help until you get a better paid job. I know it might not be your preferred route but maybe that is the only practical option.
Earning 10k do you not receive tax credits?
I assume your student child will receive max grant/loan given your income.
"The only reason i would like maintenance to be paid until my youngest son is 21 is that currently I earn less then 10k a year"
Still failing to see why this is your exes responsibility.
I do receive child credits for my youngest child but not for my middle child.
The mortgage is large, to reflect my ex's income as he supported me for over twenty five years.
He decided to leave 3 years after the death of our eldest son, for another woman, at the same time deciding i should support our two younger sons if they lived with me.
Our middle son had serious depression a year ago, he was found on the verge of sucide, his depression was caused by him becoming older then his elder brother was when he died, in the same week as his Dad told him he was seeing someone else. A year later hes still not up to studying, or working, he also has aspergers.
Allnewtaketwo, you might fail to see why it is my exes resonsibility to support us until i'm in a postition to take over the role he gave up two years ago. I just hope you're never in a similar position to the one we've found ourselves in, just because my ex decided he could no longer live with our grief and depression, and preferred to live with his new partner and her children.
I've had to take so much time off work since my ex moved out, due to my two younger sons struggling so much. My younger son slept with me he was in such a state for most of the first year after his Dad left, hes fifteen, its hardly the behavour of most boys his age, but he isn't like most boys, he saw his elder brother die, hes struggled with that memory ever since, his Dad moving out just made things worse for him. I havn't been up to making a decison about how to earn more money or doing anything about it, until recently. We're hardly in a position to manage financially straight away, but i am doing everything i can so in the near future i can manage to support both my younger sons and provide them with a home for however long they need one. I take my responsibilities seriously, i'm a mum forever, i'll be there for however long they need me, not just because the calendar says there 18, so should somehow support themselves as their father seems to think now.
"Allnewtaketwo, you might fail to see why it is my exes resonsibility to support us until i'm in a postition to take over the role he gave up two years ago"
No, I specifically don't see why it's his job to support you.
It's all very well wanting to support an adult child financially through university, but a parent can only make that choice if they can afford to do so. Which you clearly can't.
The system recognises this impact on the student and so taking account of your low salary, your student child will receive a larger grant and loan than would be the case if you earned more/still lived with your ex. I'm assuming you're planning on your student child claiming max grant whilst you're receiving 'child' maintenance for him from your ex?
Students don't receive grants anymore. All i want to do is provide a roof over their heads while they study, until they are in a position to support themselves. Expecting their parents to provide a home while they study is hardly unreasonable, just because my ex wants to abdicate his responsibilites doesn't mean he should be allowed to. He made a decision to have children, just because life got too hard after the death of our eldest son, doesn't mean he can walk away financially like he wants too.
Their living expenses will be down to them to earn while they study.
A student loan is just that, a loan until they earn over a certain amount, not to be used up to the maximum just because its there, i certainly won't be enouraging either of my younger sons to get themselves into debt if it can be helped, and if their parents provide a home there will be no need to have a student loan.
I call that responsible, its all too easy to say someone else should pay as part of the 'system'. The system costs all of us far too much money as it is without my younger sons claiming even more from the system.
All i want maintenance for is to provide a home for my two younger sons, i'll provide everything else such as food out of my small income.
Maintenance grants still exist
"A student loan is just that, a loan until they earn over a certain amount, not to be used up to the maximum just because its there, i certainly won't be enouraging either of my younger sons to get themselves into debt if it can be helped". That's all very well if you can afford it, but you clearly can't.

Perhaps the system is wrong or at least there is a lack of joined up thinking. Why should student loans be assessed against one parent's income and tax payer/universities pick up the tab when the other parent has the resources to contribute towards their student offspring's maintenance? Here in Scotland (and most of the rest of Europe!) there is a general obligation for all parents to support young students financially when they can afford to do so.
Child maintenance is a contribution towards all the costs of raising a child. In England & Wales although under 18s are a priority in divorce settlements over 18s in education aren't irrelevant. It isn't at all unreasonable for a dependent "child" to be provided with a base when they are university even if they don't live there full time. When they come home apart from accommodation they need to be fed, use utilities, wash their clothes and take supplies of food and toiletries etc back to uni.
When someone has taken a gap in employment or worked in lower paid part time or flexible jobs to fit around child care commitments they can are usually left financially disadvantaged on divorce. For example they have lost out on promotions, salary increases and the amount of disposable income they have available to save for retirement long after divorce. So being married and having children has a lifelong impact on their finances and longer term spouse maintenance can be justified to redress the balance.
i know this isnt relevent really and no offence intended. but id trust collaborate the solicitor for correct legal advice more than a mckenzie friend from fnf. get some legal advice op, they do the half hr free thing now dont they?
STIDW The OP gave up her 'highly paid job' to care for her father. That's very sad, but again, not the exes responsibility to compensate now
That is your personal opinion.
Those who are lawyers however dispense advice on the basis of what the law says.
Yes morals and the law can be 2 very different things
No two people will share exactly the same morals. There is room for different shades of opinion (on AIBU?) when debating what the law should be, but not when stating what the law is and replying to a reasonable request for advice or guidance.
Hello OP
just a thought, why not agree to sell the house now? your child is old enough not to be 'traumatised' (I'm always a bit about that argument anyway) by having to move home, and both parties can start afresh - you with hopefully a decent amount of money behind you.
win = The ex can still fulfil his child support obligations, and his share of the house sale proceeds might actually help him to do so.
win = you get your hands on what sounds like some much-needed cash
win = you move into somewhere smaller & actually put the heating on
"STIDW The OP gave up her 'highly paid job' to care for her father. That's very sad, but again, not the exes responsibility to compensate now"
I agree, the ex likely had no say in the decision so why should he have to continue to pay after leaving. His children are one thing, he ex another.
The OP blasts him over finances but doesnt work full time herself s pot kettle black springs to mind.
A clean break with child maintainence is much better, both adults can then get on with their new lives.
Lots of comments about morality on here but not very many about the law. If OP wanted general comments she would have posted in AIBU ....

How to Use Charms:
How to access parent/student information in
- Log on to www.charmsoffice.com, and click the "ENTER" link at upper right.
- Locate the "PARENT/STUDENT/MEMBERS LOGIN" section of the web page.
- Login to your child's program account using the following School Code:
- This will bring up the main parent page. This will allow you to look at the "public" calendar for your organization, event list, handouts and other files.
- Clicking on an event on the calendar brings up the details for that event, such as times, attendance requirements and equipment/uniform necessities. Clicking on "event list" puts all of the calendar information in a list form for easy printing. Note that if a calendar event is specifically assigned to your child, it may NOT show up on this calendar – check the "Student" calendar after entering the student's ID number (see below).
- When you enter your child's ID NUMBER (initial of first name followed by last name, no spaces example John Smith = jsmith) as a Student Area Password, another more detailed screen appears with even more options to view your student's uniform assignments, music assignments, financial records, forms and inventory. Once you have first entered this ID number, you may create your own, unique password by clicking on the "keyhole" (Change Password) button.
- Two areas in which you can help the director maintain his/her records:
- Update Personal Information – if the director has allowed it, you may help make changes to your child's student information page (such as updating phone numbers and email addresses if they change) to help the teacher communicate with you more effectively. Click the Personal Info button.
- If your program has setup online payments, you can make credit card payments for fees, trips and deposits to your student's account. If credit card payment is activated, you will see blue buttons in the four main areas of the financial statement indicating your ability to make online payments.
- You will also see links to enter Practice Logs, view Grades, and use the Recording Studio if the teacher has enabled these options.

What is vestibular rehabilitation?
Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise-based program, designed by a specialized physical therapist, to improve balance and reduce problems related to dizziness.
How is dizziness defined?
Dizziness can be described as:
- Feelings of unsteadiness
- Wooziness (swimming feeling in head)
- Lightheadedness
- Feelings of passing out
- Sensations of moving
- Spinning
- Floating
- Swaying
- Tilting
- Whirling (sensations known as vertigo)
These feelings or sensations can occur when you are standing still, lying down, or changing positions. The symptoms can be constant or episodic in nature, only lasting seconds, minutes or hours.
What causes dizziness?
Each year, more than 10 million patients visit a physician due to dizziness. It is the most common complaint of patients over the age of 75, but it can occur in patients of any age.
Dizziness is generally not serious, but is often a sign of a mechanical problem. Dizziness can be due to an inner ear disorder, a side effect of medications, a sign of neck dysfunction, or it can be due to a more serious problem such as a brain or a heart problem.
Who benefits from vestibular rehabilitation?
Patients typically referred for vestibular rehabilitation therapy are those diagnosed with dizziness, imbalance, vertigo, Meniere's syndrome, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), neck-related dizziness, and migraines. Other candidates are patients who have had a stroke or brain injury or who frequently fall.
Common symptoms that can be helped with vestibular rehabilitation include:
- Dizziness or blurry vision with head movements
- Neck tightness, stiffness, and/or pain
- Imbalance or the need to hold onto objects when walking
- Headaches
- Frequent falls
- Generalized "dizziness, wooziness and foggy head" feelings
- Vertigo/spinning
At your appointment, a physical therapist will evaluate your symptoms and review your medical history. Your assessment will include all or part of the following areas:
- Balance and/or leg strength/flexibility
- Gait (how you walk)
- Visual stability and mobility
- Neck mobility and neck and arm strength
- Positional testing, including an inner ear exam
Based on the findings, a plan of care is developed. The goal of your treatment plan is to improve any deficits that were identified. This, in turn, will improve your ability to function in activities of everyday living, reduce your risk for falling, and ultimately, improve your quality of life.
What are the types of exercises I will learn in a vestibular rehabilitation program?
Examples of exercises you might learn include:
- Vision stability training
- Posture training
- Stretching and strengthening exercises
- Balance retraining
- Walking exercises
- Neck mobility/stretching exercises
- General fitness exercises
- Ergonomic training (This advice is given so that workplace furnishings can be adjusted to improve a person's posture and decrease any discomforts.)
No two exercise treatment plans are exactly alike. Your exercise program is developed by identifying your deficits. For example: if your symptoms have been linked to an inner ear problem, you will also learn how to do some self-treatment exercises. Continuing an exercise plan at home can help prevent and/or treat new dizziness and balance episodes.
How long is a typical vestibular rehabilitation program?
Patients are typically seen one to two times each week for 6 to 8 weeks, but this varies based on the patient's diagnosis, severity of symptoms, and response to therapy. Some patients may be seen for only one to two sessions; other patients may need continued treatment for a few months.
What type of recovery/outcome can I expect from vestibular rehabilitation?
Expected vestibular rehabilitation outcomes include:
- Decreased risk of falling
- A decrease in dizziness symptoms
- Improved balance
- Improved ability to stabilize vision/gaze
- Increased body strength
- Return to prior level of movement/function
- Increase in confidence in ability to maintain balance
- Improved neck motion, reduced symptoms
How successful is vestibular rehabilitation therapy?
Many times, vestibular rehabilitation therapy will be the only treatment needed. Other times, it is a part of the presurgery/postsurgery treatment plan. In most cases, if patients continue to perform the exercises they have learned, balance and dizziness problems decrease significantly or completely disappear.

I roughly edited my lips to give a general idea of what I would like improved. I have a very small top lip, the shape isn't too bad but it is quite small. Would it be possible to make it bigger even though there is little to work with? I'm not so worried about plumping them up just making the top one better. What would be the best way to go about this?

Lip augmentation
Dear 75821532,
- Yes, a lip filler like Juvederm could get you what you are looking for
- It may require more than one session, I would do one syringe at a time separated by 2 weeks
- If you go slowly, you can avoid an unnatural looking lip
Best regards,

Is This a Realistic/possible Goal Without Looking Ridiculous?
IMHO of performing many Lip Augmentations over the past 25 years, an Alloderm Lip Implant would be required to achieve the demonstrated degree of lip augmentation.

To fill out the upper lip, it is often easily achievable with facial filler. Go to an experienced injector. Good luck.

Improving the upper lip is a very common procedure
Most people need their upper lip enhanced, especially as we age. Fillers such as juvederm/restylane ($550/syringe) are great temporary filler which can be easily injected and modified to give most patients what they want and look natural with almost no downtime. Implants ($1500-2000) are a permanent way to keep the look you want once you see the look with fillers first. sincerely

- Black Steel ATX Mid tower
- Wire Management features
- Dual 120mm rifle bearing fans
Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
Pretty great case 01/17/2014
This review is from: NZXT M59 - 001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Really good small mid case, GREAT big window for awesome viewing pleasure, overall good case.
There's like...almost no cable management. There's just enough to get by but really not that much. The only other thing that ticks me off...the top "hidden" disc bay is cool, but since I have a radiator, it moves the fans forward so there's no room for my dvd drive on the top. I'm fine with that, but the edges of that top bay are rounded...so you literally can't put anything there.
Did you find this review helpful? Yes / No Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Home › Forums › Get Advice, Give Advice › How to deal with GAMBLING Boyfriend???
This topic contains 30 replies, has 5 voices, and was last updated by Kate 6 months, 3 weeks ago.
- AuthorPosts
I met my husband 4 years ago and during the first months of our relationship, he admitted that he's into cock fights and all kinds of gambling. Like cards, betting etc. I totally accepted him for that. Before he used to go cock fight 4 times a week but that changed ever since we started dating. It became only once a week.
Fast forwarding. We now have a 3 year old son and a new born beautiful daughter. I now handle all our money. I hold all his debit/credit cards and his salary is direct deposit. So basically I only give him money everyday enough for his lunch at work. Though we boht manage all the expenses, I still hold everything. Once a week he goes to the cockfight and he asks for money that he can use to bet. Minimum is $100 maximum is $300. That's if we have extra money. The problem is the times he lose is more than the times he wins. And he wouldn't be satisfied then, he would ask me if he can go poker or play cards to gain back what he lost. It's just a cycle and I'm being fed up. It's not easy to manage finances with two kids. We couldn't save money because he uses all our extra money for gambling. Every time we get paid and all the bills and expenses are paid, I cannot even save the extra money because he asks for it. Sometimes he bets for football and basketball with his friends then comes home telling me we need to pay hid friend $200 because he lost on a bet. As long as he knows we have extra money, he keeps thinking he can bet, gamble and so.
I tried being mad and I tried not giving him money. but he said I met him like that and that I accepted his addiction. He also said I should be thankful because he only goes once a week now compared to before. Every time I get mad, he gets mad too and tells me if I keep getting angry he should might as well just go back to gambling 4 times a week. if I don't give him money when he asks for it, he gets really furious.
What should I do?
I'd leave him. Not just because of the gambling but also because he finds cockfighting,which is animal cruelty,entertaining. That's fucking sick.
You're acting like his mother & he's acting like a spoilt child who will have a trantrum if he doesn't get his way. He'll resent you & you'll have no respect for him. This is a major problem in a relationship- this will spill into every aspect of your marriage- sex etc. You have two children as well, I guess three now when you count him. He's also an addict. It won't go away, yes it's at a lower level then before, but it will always be there and can get worse again. You can't talk an addict out of being one, they need to actually want to stop it. He doesn't want that. Why should he? You enable his addiction to a certain point, by giving him money? And if you didn't, he'd find other ways to gamble- secret credit cards etc (I'd check on this now- as even though it seems you're in charge of the cash…) You really can't control this forever…
You need to decide if this is how you want to live your life? You're kids need stability and someone to provide that. That isn't their father. You obviously love him, but you can never change someone else. So… You can love someone and realise they're not a good partner. Personally, I'd divorce him & then never involve yourself in his finances ever again. Yes, he'll gamble, that never stopped any way- but then you'll have your own money coming in and it'll be uneffected by him. Plus, you'll be happier.
Plus, what Leah said. Cockfight is as cruel AF. So there is a personality aspect to your husband that isn't pretty, something to be aware of in a marriage and when raising kids. Also as the kids get older be aware that he'll probably try and teach them to gamble. Partly as a bonding thing, but also because that's his supposed 'talent'.
Yes, he's addicted. No, he's not going to change. Your choices are: a) leave him, and b) spend the rest of your life in near-poverty, never getting ahead, never having enough money for anything. And forcing your children to live in near-poverty.
Oh, and by the way: cockfighting is illegal in all 50 states. In some jurisdictions, it's illegal to be a spectator at a cockfight, so be sure to set aside some bail money if that's the case in your area. Or, better still, don't. Anyone who gets off on watching animals slash each other to a bloody, agonizing death with razor blades or metal spikes attached to their legs isn't fit to be walking around with the rest of us. I'd be happy to see your husband's sorry ass in jail for contributing to something so sick and evil.
Do some reading about cockfighting and then ask yourself if you want to be raising children with this man.
- This reply was modified 6 months, 4 weeks ago by Essie.
While I agree that betting on animals killing each other is appalling, this LW isn't in the US, and it's legal where she is.
LW, people here are right, gambling is an addiction, and unless someone voluntarily joins Gamblers Anonymous and kicks it through a lot of hard work (do you see your boyfriend doing that?), then this is what you get. And it may get worse, with him betting money you two don't have, and bringing very dangerous people to your door. Perhaps putting your kids in danger.
I'm also fairly certain that this is not the first time you've written in about this guy.
So, in summary, unfortunately you can't fix this, and I think maybe you have other reasons to leave. He's right, you did accept him like this, allowed yourself to become pregnant twice, and apparently financially dependent on him. This is what happens when you ignore red flags early on. Can your family help you get out of this?
Also, just as an example/cautionary tale, I know a guy who had a lot of money from selling a family home. He lost over $50,000 *in one weekend* at a casino. In fact, he lost all his money, his girlfriend bought him out of the house they bought together, and he used that to pay off some debt and went back home with nothing. Because gambling is a serious illness. I do know another guy who went to Gamblers Anon years ago and seems to be ok now, but he did it on his own because he really wanted to. He wasn't in a relationship.
Obviously there are cultural differences with regard to cock fighting so I'm going to leave that alone though it would be an absolute deal breaker for me. LW, this is life with an addict, worsening behavior is what you have to look forward to. Leave now before you get pregnant again.
Seriously, aren't you disgusted that your husband is prioritizing his addiction over the welfare of your children? You should be. He is literally robbing their financial security one bet at a time. Would you do that? Why would you allow anyone else to?? Time to ovary up and protect your kids.
Wow…he enjoys cockfighting and you "immediately accepted him for that". As far as I'm concerned you are both terrible people, cockfighting is viciously cruel and absolutely horrific and disgusting. Good luck with your gambling addict husband who enjoys watching animals being tortured to death for sport.
I mean, I agree, but I'm looking at it from my cultural viewpoint, and in some cultures you grow up with it so it probably seems normal. Greyhound dog racing was legal in MA until recently! We actually just voted in a law last month that would allow chickens and other animals like veal calves to live their lives with room to, like, be able to stand properly and turn around.
It doesn't seem like the LW has a problem with the animal cruelty, and it's not illegal, but the gambling – whether it's on animals, sports games, cards, dice, whatever, plus the yelling and screaming and threats, isn't going to get better. I don't think it's fixable.
- This reply was modified 6 months, 4 weeks ago by Kate.
First, why does this letter have the title it does. The gambler is not her boyfriend, he is her husband and the father of her two children.u
LW — I fail to see how your managing the family finances is helping. You are facilitating his gambling. You may have food on the table today, but you have no savings. First crisis and you are out of luck. You have the constant drain of $ because your husband consistently loses and loses big, apparently being too stupid to realize he is gambling in rigged contests.
Somehow gambling is tied up in his sense of manhood. He thinks he is in control when he gambles and he feels like big man flashing a wad of cash, which he promptly loses. If he can't fix this, you can't fix your family. Your controlling the finances only increases his need to gamble, because it makes him feel he has less power and control. You would actually be better off if you took the money for essential family expenses and let him manage the finances. That cuts out the arguments and whining, since you give him all the other money anyway.
This is only going to get worse. You need to get a job and MOA.
Why did you ever agree to be with a man whom you knew was a gambling addict? Did you really not understand how that works?
You reap what you sow. The husband admitted up front that he was a gambling addict who enjoyed betting on horrific, appalling animal torture. In her own words she "totally accepted him for that". Now, she seems gobsmacked that the man she married is, in fact, a gambling addict who has drained all of their money on…surprise! betting on horrific animal torture. I have absolutely no sympathy for people who put themselves in these situations. LW, grow a soul, volunteer and do everything you can to try to HELP the needy animals in your area, and leave your addict husband. Or don't, whatever. You made your bed.
