I adopted Noelle on December 22, 2010. She is a mini lop. I've been reading a lot online, specifically on forums and rabbit specific websites. We're still in the process of getting to know each other. Our biggest hurdle right now is that she kicks when I try to pick her up. I understand the proper way to pick her up (I've seen rabbits being picked up, read about different ways to pick them up, and watched every Youtube video imaginable on how to pick up a rabbit), but she was in a bad situation before I adopted her so she is fearful of being handled. I do understand that most rabbits never enjoy being handled, but I at least need to get it to where I can quickly get her from point A to point B without injury. We're working on it.
Here are some pics:
1st week? That is great! I do similar for my agouti lop who doesn't do well with being picked up. He kind of knows the carrier (or whatever I'm using) is the better alternative for him. When I do need to handle him, I use the carrier like you, let him jump out onto the top of the washing machine and then I can pick him up from there.
I just love Noelle's face! Sounds like she's finally in the ideal home for her.

Jessica Simpson Wedding: Singer to Wed Eric Johnson in Hawaii?
Jessica Simpson and her fiance Eric Johnson are reportedly heading to Hawaii on Dec. 21 and a new report suggests that the couple of two years is planning to walk down the aisle.
Simpson, 32, who is rumored to be pregnant with the couple's second child, along with Johnson, 33, have invited a group of close friends and family to join them on their upcoming trip. The couple recently told their loved ones that they have a formal announcement to make, according to Radar Online.
"For the holidays Jessica and Eric are going to Hawaii and they've invited a lot of their close friends and family," a source close to the Simpson family told Radar. "No one quite knows what is being planned, but family members are speculating that they could be planning a surprise wedding."
Simpson, who gave birth to her first child Maxwell Drew Johnson in May, previously postponed her 2011 nuptials to Johnson due to her unexpected pregnancy although it is now claimed that the couple is keen to wed before the end of 2012. The singer allegedly wants a simple wedding and has allegedly started dropping hints about her big day.
"Jessica and Eric had planned to get married before the end of the year, but because Jessica was helping her best pal Cacee [Cobb] with her wedding she got sidetracked. Then, her father's problems shattered her world and she discovered she was expecting," the source said.
"She just wants a relaxed and intimate ceremony and has been dropping hints that the big day could be right before Christmas," the source added.
While it was previously claimed that Simpson postponed her initial wedding because she refused to be a pregnant bride, the source claims that the Weight Watchers ambassador is now unfazed about her appearance and is comfortable with having a baby bump on her big day.
"Jessica is certain though that she wants to get married before her baby is born, and isn't bothered if she's showing in any wedding pictures," the source said.

I don't know what to say about this lesson that is going to be on "how to draw a Dragon Ball", step by step. What is a Dragon Ball anyway? A Dragon Ball is a one of seven mystical balls that have the power to summon a wish granting dragon known as a Shenron. All the dragon balls need to be collected in order to cast forth Shenron. Shenron is a dragon that will cast one wish when all seven Dragon Balls are collected. Now a ball has a specific label on what number ball it is which is represented by stars. For example, the first Dragon Ball will have a single star marking, and so on and so forth. You will be drawing the Dragon Ball with four stars on it which means this is the fourth ball. Anyways, there really isn't anything more to say because that is basically what these balls do. The lesson is pretty mindless because all you are doing is drawing a circle, and adding four stars. I do hope you like this tutorial because I know how many of you are big time fans of DBZ, and I also know how you all love learning how to draw new things. Adios people and have fun drawing a dragon ball.

Pastor James McConnell is clueless about Islam
The comments made by Pastor James McConnell about Islam are typical of Islamophobic cliches that have been regurgitated by conspiracy theorists.
During his interview with Stephen Nolan, Pastor McConnell did not support his allegations with one verse of the Koran, which reflects either his ignorance of Islam, or his knowledge that there is no Islamic text to substantiate his claims.
Perhaps it was the halal meat hysteria and the kidnapping in Nigeria that provoked these comments.
The idea that Muslims want to impose halal food on everyone is nonsense. Subway's decision to sell only halal meat in some places is purely a commercial one (to maximise profits in areas with large Muslim populations). Additionally, it happens that some stores import meat from New Zealand, which exports halal meat to Muslim countries.
Again, it makes sense, for commercial reasons, to slaughter animals the halal way, but I don't think British Muslims knew about it – let alone imposed it.
It is free-market capitalism that filled the market with halal meat – not a secret plot by Muslims.
The kidnapping in Nigeria contradicts the basic teachings of Islam.
The first word of the Koran revealed to the Prophet Mohammed was ikra (read in Arabic), which makes education an obligation for every Muslim.
Islam also prohibits harming civilians at all times.
Prophet Mohammed himself asked Muslims to treat women well. Blaming Islam for the acts of Boko Haram is no different to blaming Christianity for George Bush and Tony Blair's invasion of Iraq (which resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of Muslims), or the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in 1948, or the rape and murder of Bosnian Muslims by Christian Serbs.
The last thing Northern Ireland needs is a Christian supremacist.
Pastor McConnell's comments are offensive and will only stir up tension.
It is important that political and religious leaders speak out against such bigotry.

We had Ahmedabad SQL Server User Group meeting on February 21, 2009 and it was wonderful to see so many people showing up for meeting. Gradually our group is growing and more and more developers and DBA are showing up.
We had two session in this meeting. From the feedback which we have received I can say that it went excellent and developer loved it. In fact there was request to repeat similar kind of sessions to continue.
We had started the session little earlier based on attendee's feedback at 6:15. The agenda of our meeting today was as following.
Interesting Observation – SQL Server Index Usage – Pinal Dave (SQL Server MVP)
Working with IDENTITY values in SQL Server – Jacob Sebastian (SQL Server MVP)
Those who could not be present in this session really missed today's session as both of the sessions were very interactive. If you missed my session and would like to get more information about it I suggest to read following article which I have written as it was based on it.
In my session I had covered the topic of SQL SERVER – Observation – Effect of Clustered Index over Nonclustered Index. Query optimization is one art which is difficult to master. Just like any other art this requires creativity and imagination as well understanding of subject matter. Take a look at interesting observation which I came across and send me email if you have any questions.
The most interactive session we had from our UG President Jacob Sebastian. He came up with 65 quiz questions from the subject of IDENTITY. It was amazing that he was came up with 65 questions and answers from subject IDENTITY and kept all the crowd interested through out the end. When session began we all thought that we will get almost all the answers correct as we have all used IDENTITY very well, however as quiz progressed we all realized that there were so many things which we all learnt from this session. Developers who attended this session requested to repeat similar kind of session.
Another announcement which we had that Tejas Shah who is one enthusiastic individual and expert in .NET and C# is taking over the position of UG Co-ordinator and Webmaster for Ahmedabad UG. We also had announcement of Free Technet subscription in UG Meeting.
I suggest all of my readers to present for next UG meeting. We will see if we can do live streaming of the sessions from here.

I am a Dotnet developer from Noida near New Delhi.
As a developer i have to closely work with Sql Server along with dotnet.
I am subscriber of your Blog for now almost an year and have been following your Articles on almost regular basis.
I would hereby request you to plan some sessions and User Group Meetings in Delhi area or atleast provide us with live video streaming.
Also, if possible do let me know in case I have to join sessions like these in Ahemdabad, what steps i had to follow?
Thanks and Regards,
I am a novice, but very much interested in attending such user group meetings. But the meetings are on saturdays, which prevents me from attending it, as it is working day for me. Please consider to have the user group meeting on sunday, if possible. so that many like me, may get a chance to attend.

Altera (NASDAQ:ALTR) has achieved it again. The programmable logic devices maker came out with strong results for the first quarter, beating Street estimates by a big margin. Altera has been a consistent performer over the past few quarters because of its innovative product portfolio.
Driven by a foundry agreement with Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), Altera is gaining share in the field programmable gate array, or FPGA, market. As such, it should continue outperforming the likes of Xilinx (NASDAQ:XLNX) going forward and maintain its streak of impressive performances.
Beating competition
Altera's performance in the recently reported first quarter was much better than Xilinx. Its revenue grew 12% year-over-year to $461 million, comprehensively ahead of the $438 million consensus target. Earnings, meanwhile, came in at $0.37 per share, while analysts were looking for $0.32.
Altera's outlook was also strong. The company expects revenue in the range of $470 million-$488 million in the ongoing quarter, blowing past the $461 million estimate. In comparison, rival Xilinx's performance left a lot to be desired. The company's earnings missed estimates, and its revenue outlook for the current quarter also lagged expectations, as it saw a drop in orders from a couple of large communication customers.
Hence, Altera seems to be executing better than Xilinx. Going forward, considering Altera's product development efforts, there's a strong chance that it will be able to overtake Xilinx in the programmable logic devices market.
Fresh products
Altera's new products now account for almost half of its total revenue. The 28-nanometer process has been the primary driver for Altera so far, and the company seems to have successfully taken away some market share from Xilinx in this area. While Xilinx cited delays in LTE deployment as the reason behind its sluggish performance in the previous quarter, Altera was singing a different tune.
In fact, the roll out of LTE by China Mobile (NYSE:CHL) resulted in 20% sequential growth in Altera's wireless business. In addition, Altera is also counting on the growing adoption of 3G in India and other developing countries to propel its business higher.
The company's focus on making its production processes more efficient has helped it land some solid design wins. Altera has already started sampling its 20-nanometer process with customers, extending its chip portfolio further. However, it is the 14-nanometer FinFET process technology that's expected to become a major growth driver for Altera going forward.
Altera is developing chips based on the 14-nanometer platform, using Intel's foundry. This month, Altera showcased its FPGA technology, based on Intel's 14 nm Tri-Gate process. The company has seen some positive cues early on in the design process, which should accelerate the time to market for 14-nm chips.
Intel has played a key role in the development of this platform, offering its true die shrink based on the second-generation 14-nm Tri-Gate process. According to Transparency Market Research, the FPGA market is a huge opportunity since it is expected to grow to almost $9 billion over the next five years. Now, through this technology, Altera is planning to capture half of the FPGA market by 2019.
In conclusion, Altera's strong fundamentals, and the fact that it returns a good amount of cash to investors, makes the stock highly attractive. The company's debt of $1.49 billion is easily covered by its cash position of $3 billion, while a dividend yield of 1.70% isn't bad either. Since Altera has a payout ratio of just 37%, there's a good chance that it might increase its dividend in the future. The company plans on returning 60%-80% of its cash flow from operations to shareholders by way of dividends and share repurchases.
Altera has been consistently good, and its product development could lead to further improvements. The company has an ambitious plan of becoming the leader in the FPGA market, and it is working aggressively toward it. Moreover, Altera's shareholder-friendly moves make the stock even more attractive, and it could turn out to be a solid long-term investment.

- Movie Releases
Adam Green's Hatchet II picks up at the exact moment that 2006's Hatchet ends, wherein the quiet but hot-tempered Marybeth (Danielle Harris) is in a small boat in the Louisiana swamps, screaming for her life as she tries to free herself from the clutches of the deformed, swamp-dwelling killer Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder). Crowley has murdered Marybeth's family and other fellow vacationers who had come together on a tourist excursion in the swamplands outside of New Orleans. Marybeth escapes from Crowley and manages to make it back to civilization, where she once again encounters voodoo shop proprietor Reverend Zombie (Tony Todd), who had helped to arrange Marybeth and company's earlier, ill-fated tour of the area. To help Marybeth and also serve his own secret agenda, Reverend Zombie recruits a hardened pack of hunters to head back into the swamp to seek revenge on Victor Crowley.
The cast of HATCHET II features a cavalcade of horror movie icons including Danielle Harris (HALLOWEEN) and Kane Hodder (FRIDAY THE 13th), reprising his role as serial killer Victor Crowley. Also starring are Tony Todd (CANDYMAN) and R.A. Mihailoff (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE).

This offer is now closed. Glad some of you were able to get yourselves a free game. Don't forget to tune in next year to ponder with us over the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.
Hide your mothers; PopCap is offering their mega-hit Bejeweled 2 for free (normally $19.95), today only.
Why? Well, because it's 10-10-10, of course, a date-based numerical anomaly that won't happen again for a thousand years (Correction: a hundred years. Derp.). Also, it's the ten-year anniversary of the original Bejeweled (in a few months, at least), and PopCap is feeling generous. All you have to do is take a mosey on over to the PopCap website, enter a name and email address, and taa-daa! The rest of your Sunday productivity is shot.
This free game is yours to keep (no limited time "free weekend" deals on this one) and applies to both the Mac and PC versions. Better hurry though, as you only have until 10:00 p.m. PST to hop on this. It's currently about 6:30. Hurry, free stuff!

On Sunday at the conclusion of the recitation of the Regina Coeli in St. Peter's Square, Pope Benedict XVI commented on the current conflict in the Gaza Strip and called for an end to the tragic violence.
"Once more, in the name of God," the Pontiff said, "may this tragic violence come to an end."
Addressing the "Palestinian and Israeli" peoples, the Pope said, "I desire to express my solidarity and the assurance of my prayerful remembrance."
"I appeal to the sense of responsibility of all the Palestinian authorities that, in dialogue and firmness, they take up again the difficult path of understanding, neutralizing the violent," he added.
The Pope continued: "I invite the Israeli government to moderation and exhort the international community to multiply efforts for the re-launching of negotiations."
Following armed encounters between rival Palestinian factions, Israel launched an attack in reprisal for the firing of rockets into its territory. The Israeli attack left three dead.

Necronomicon: Dagon
by: JRSGames • 19
All Android applications categories
by: JRSGames • 19
"Dagon" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft, written in July 1917, one of the first stories he wrote as an adult. It was first published in the November 1919 edition of The Vagrant (issue #11).
Although there has never been any mention of it by Lovecraft himself, there is an ancient Sumerian god named Dagon who is the fertility god of grains and fish. He is sometimes depicted as being part fish, or simply wearing a fish. Since Lovecraft was fond of references to actual archaeological discoveries in his writings from time to time, he may have come across this ancient god and decided to use it for some vague inspiration. This, of course, is speculation.

Bravo reaches out to Olive's House
Dwayne James John Bravo, West Indies cricketer, said yesterday that community spirit was necessary in view of negative aspects of life and showed this by donating $50,000 towards the painting of Olive's House, a home for the elderly.
Yesterday, Bravo showed his support by visiting the house, on the Eastern Main Road, in James Smart Village, Sangre Chiquito. Olive's House is run by an organisation called the Bridge of Hope.
During his visit, Bravo was greeted warmly by the abandoned children who live there in the care of the Bridge of Hope.
"When they brought the news to me that an elderly home was going to open I thought it was important to help in any way. I have helped children (in the past) now the elderly could benefit and I wanted to do something for the elderly.
"We will get old and grey one day and would like somebody to help us and do something for us. It is a positive step and I hope that people will come on board and continue this through the country, despite negatives. There is a lot of positive still I want to do. My grandmother, Lucian Roberts, and my mother, Joycelyn, worked with the elderly," he said.
Founder of the Bridge of Hope and CEO of Olive's House Subesh Ramjattan said he was hoping to achieve quality service for the elderly.
"It starts with us and starts with a home for the elderly. The elderly population has doubled and it is of significant importance. We are not about food cards, it is about quality of life for the elderly," he said.
Ramjattan said he was hoping to achieve a model community and also create activities for the elderly.
He said approximately six years ago his wife's grandmother was on her deathbed when she gave them $600 to contribute to the elderly.
"We prayed over it because it had to have a divine purpose behind it.
"Anyone who makes a donation can have an apartment named after them. They will have an understanding in terms of a legacy, because we leave all this behind us here when we die," he said.
Ramjattan said he was looking for people to volunteer their time who are "extraordinary with their hearts and more extraordinary."
Bravo's mother, Joycelyn Bravo Sween, Telecommunications Services of T&T manager, external relations and government affairs Gervon Abraham and director of the Bridge of Hope Brian Vital also attended.
The home, which can house approximately 25 senior citizens, has housing for able-bodied couples, those who cannot live alone and a skilled senior-care facility for residents who need daily observation. It will be opened on January 25 next year.
The cost of their care is between $3,500 and $4,000 a month.
Anyone interested in making donations to Olive's House can do so at Republic Bank Ltd, Tunapuna West Branch, Bank A/C 350157394501.

An appeal hearing for the San Diego Planning Commission's approval of a major use permit modification for the Highland Valley Ranch expansion has been postponed until after January 2012, according to a letter from the county's Department of Planning and Land Use.
Highland Valley Ranch on Highland Valley Road provides residential treatment for brain-injured adults. The Planning Commission approved the permit modification despite opposition from the Ramona Community Planning Group and nearby residents. Both groups filed appeals.
The DPLU letter, sent to the county board of supervisors, said the postponement was due to the applicant's health problems.

Sir, our client was provided fabrication and erection & installation services to his client for foundation of thermal plant. He is having work order mentioning both the item. wherther service tax is applicable on fabrication work. Please provide the details.
thanks in advance
Dear Vishnu,
1) Service Tax is applicable on Erection & Installation Services as per section 65(105) (zzd) of the Service Tax Act, 1994. Service Tax to be levied when the Gross Receipts go above the specified limit (ie Rs. 10 Lacs)
2) But no service tax is applicable on Fabrication work.
Fabrication is a manufacturing activity and hence no servcie tax is leviable.
I believe that Fabrication is an activity for erection and installation hence service tax needed to be charged.
as fabrication is a contract to build the goods as per the design/ sample/ drawings provided by the party, so it will be taxed under works contract.
remember if the fabricator does not pay service tax then it would amount to manufacture and excise would be leviabl on materials + job charges

WINNIPEG - Hockey fans in Manitoba are learning what purgatory must be like.
The time between learning an agreement to bring the Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg is in place and having the lawyers actually finish the deal must seem like an eternity for the NHL-starved people of Manitoba.
The situation remained relatively quiet on Friday, a day after NHL commissioner Gary Bettman did his usual schtick on his radio show, pooh-poohing the notion a return to Winnipeg is imminent.
Maybe at some point there will be a deal, maybe there will never be a deal, Bettman said during the NHL Hour With Commissioner Gary Bettman on NHL Radio. But there isnt one now.
Bettman, who made his comments at about the same time Thrashers co-owner Michael Gearon was telling Atlanta media the deal with True North was 80% complete, seemed particularly peeved news of an agreement had gone public.
If the team gets sold, and if the team gets moved, then there will be a press conference, he said. If you keep saying it enough, you might ultimately be right. But the level of accountability, in terms of the willingness to just put anything out there in terms of a news story, is really just ridiculous.
The commish even cracked wise about all the times hes been sighted in Winnipeg over the last few years.
Im not in Winnipeg, Bettman said. I havent been in Winnipeg. Over the last few months I would get calls that I was allegedly spotted. The fact of the matter is, there has once again been a ton of commentary, speculation you name it that A, theres a deal and B, that we have a date certain for a press conference to announce the deal.
While the date of a press conference has not been set, it is no secret True North officials are making preparations in the event of one.
The Winnipeg Police Service is also getting ready in the event the NHL returns after 15 years away.
We do have a contingency plan in place, said Const. Jason Michalyshen, a spokesman for Winnipeg police. We have to keep in mind safety has to be the highest priority.
He said if and when an announcement happens, police will be dispatched to the corner of Portage and Main, where they expect joyous fans to gather.
I think celebration is a good thing. If we have to close that intersection or any lanes for a period of time we will do so. But we will not tolerate any property damage, he said.
Michalyshen said it would be naive of police to believe there wont be open alcohol at the impromptu celebration and that officers will likely use some discretion when it comes to policing that. However, he said anyone whose drunken behaviour puts themselves or others at risk will be given a swift ride to a place where their safety can be assured.
Meanwhile, Atlanta media reported Friday the deal wont be completed before Tuesday since Monday is Memorial Day.

A lesbian couple in New Jersey will both be listed as parents on the birth certificate of the baby they're expecting in May, a judge has ruled. State officials said it is the first time that two women related to an unborn child have tried to get both their names listed on a birth certificate. One partner is carrying the child, and the other provided the egg; they plan to raise the child together. The ruling, issued Tuesday by Sussex County family court judge James A. Farber, means that the women, who prefer to remain unidentified, will share a financial obligation to the child as soon as it is born and that if one parent dies, the other will automatically have custody.
Analysts said the case is unusual because when lesbian couples have a child together, the woman who delivers the baby is usually listed as the mother on the birth certificate. Her partner must then adopt the child because she is not genetically related, and the court process for adoption can take six months or longer.
The woman who provided the egg in this case told The [Bergen County] Record that she hopes the ruling will help other couples. The women live in northern New Jersey and have been together for seven years; they said they pursued in vitro fertilization after one of them tried unsuccessfully to conceive with her own eggs and artificial insemination.

Education For All
In April 2000, over 1,100 participants from 164 countries met in Dakar, Senegal, for the World Education Forum. This gathering was convened to assess progress toward EFA since the World Conference on Education for All held in Jomtien in March 1990.
The meeting also aimed to analyze the causes why the goal has remained elusive and to renew commitments to turn this vision into reality. As a result, the World Education Forum adopted a Framework for Action engaging governments to the attainment of six specific goals related to EFA. The Dakar Framework for Action also called upon each country to prepare a comprehensive National EFA Plan.
Under the Dakar Framework for Action the Royal Government of Cambodia formulated a National EFA Plan for Cambodia for the period 2003-2015. The formulation of this EFA Plan consolidates and extends a number of the Government's social and economic planning initiatives.

CRM became a central theme for the CIO a few years back when it really should have been driven from marketing or sales, said David Holtzman, U.S. lead for the Customer Centricity Growth practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). A lot of vendors sold CRM directly to CIOs as a business panacea.
Well-marketed by vendors like Siebel (and others no longer with us), CIOs bought into the hype that CRM would solve complex customer problems by providing integrated marketing, sales and service automation. Result: An awful lot of CRM implementation failures.
I would estimate that 50% of CRM projects failed, said Holtzman. They were either led by IT instead of a specific business unit, or the business side hadnt worked out what they needed to operate better in the real world.
Another problem, Holtzman believes, was that CIOs erred by choosing a big bang approach. CRM implementations attempted to span the entire organization, taking in every facet of sales, marketing, customer service and support. Such a methodology was doomed to failure.
The good news is the technology itself has improved to the point where CRM is now making a major comeback in the enterprise. A recent PwC study found that CRM placed No. 2 in budget priorities, behind compliance related products.
Particularly in the financial services sector, IT financial compliance management spending has increased to between 10% and 15% of IT budgets in 2006, up from less than five percent in 2004 (according to a separate Gartner Group study).
PwC research shows, however, that the era of cost cutting, efficiency and compliance is finally giving way to a focus on customer centricity. It is this shift that is feeding the renewed demand for CRM.
Although compliance is still getting a ton of money, CRM places number two or three in our surveys, said Holtzman. Companies are again realizing the value of CRM. By stitching their information silos together, they can gain a better understanding of who their customers are and what they want.
The CIOs Role in CRM
So if CIOs should not be the ones directing the implementation of CRM, what should their role be?
Holtzman states the CIOs do belong at the table when CRM is being discussed. But instead of choosing the software and championing the implementation, they should act as an advisor to a line-of-business executive or the chief marketing officer (CMO).
While the business head determines what is needed to improve overall efficiency, the CIO can assist in the selection process by evaluating the pros and cons on the various software packages available. He can partner with the CMO to decide which package meets their needs.
In addition, the CIOs job is to honestly offer advice on which packages can and cant be easily implemented in the enterprise. This has a lot to do with the existing technology infrastructure.
Instead of being involved in the basic process functions of CRM, the CIOs role is to figure out how to take the data in the underlying application layers in order to answer essential business questions about profitability, market penetration, the value of each customer and so on, said Holtzman.
CRM, after all, touches many of the applications that IT manages. The CIO is the one who is best aware of what data elements reside in which systems and can supervise the mapping of data from core systems into the CRM database.
Its the business unit head that knows what he is trying to accomplish and the CIO that understands the tech environment, said Holtzman.
Think Small
While the big bang may have been in vogue before, the most recent wave of CRM installations has followed a more conservative course.
People got beat up badly with overly elaborate CRM initiatives and went back to 100 day projects on a much smaller scale, said Holtzman.
Smaller and shorter projects, therefore, are the name of the game. Once completed, its up to the CIO and CMO to showcase their ROI (return on investment) and expand their CRM activities further into the enterprise. As a result, CRM has blossomed at a departmental level and, albeit quietly, it has begun to live up to some of that early hype.
Its success is even propelling CRM to the next level. With CRM performing well in multiple departments, a need is created to tie these systems together. And that is now beginning to happen, according to PwC.
Confidence is returning to attempt larger projects due to the success on smaller implementations, said Holtzman. Organizations seem to have learned from the big bang failures to lay it out gradually so the organization can change with it.
Like many big projects, the best approach, therefore, is to tackle CRM in stages. Try it out in targeted areas of the enterprise and build it up from there. That must be accomplished, though, against a long-term vision and tightly tied into business objectives.
But even then, Holtzman cautions the technology should not be applied sweepingly. Instead of trying to make a CRM system do everything for sales and marketing, make it do a few vital things really well.
Keeping even large-scale CRM projects very focused on specific core elements, he suggests. CIOs can look like heroes if they implement CRM sensibly and avoid a big-bang approach.

A generous layer of beef with pickled vegetable between the two waffles seems to be a significant upgrade over the traditional beef roll--or maybe it's just the novelty that intrigued me.

Linda Aikenwrote a review of The North Face Fuzzy Earflap Beanie - Girls' on January 23, 2012
Girls fuzzy beanie
I bought this northface hat for my granddaughter and I am dissappointed in the way the hat has held up. My granddaugjter is only seven years old and only wears the hat to and from school. She has had it about 1 month.. I noticed the other day that the tassel on top is falling apart , when you touch it the yarn falls off. One braid is starting to unravel and if you touch the bottom of it the yarn pulls out, leaving two uneven braids hanging. The hat portion is great. Its warm, fuzzy and good quality. All i need to do is take off the tossel and cut off the braids, but than you lose the look of the hat.

why doesnt any one put this on garrysmod.org.
why doesnt any one put this on garrysmod.org.
Apparently not.
somone needs to give me directions on how to down load ive tried putting the materials in the materials folder and the models in the models folder but neither work they just wont show up somone please help.
no really i need directions on how to download these files some one tell me how i can do it correctly & please tell me in detail.
we can't download that link.....i want that modal,materials...please fix that link,or another download link please~!!
Seriously could no reupload this? I want those Russians...
could you possibley make your directions a little easier im kind of a dumbass so please explane to me in a simpler way i mean some of it i understand but most of your directions are confusing.its not you its me being stupid.
did that and nothing happens.
Use 'browse' ingame to find them?
why isnt availble on on download pplace ? put them on garrys mod related files
And to the Russian, Please look hard at at the things under the browse folder. Or the Garrys mod folder. (or the DOD folder? IDK)
Alright for the one ho dont know how to use the dl link on the 3rd page: [url posted:
dont need dods?
how do you make a new map in the addons folder.
not to be a bother, but i would too like to know how to do that. I'm not the best at installing things onto gmod, not that good with a computer. A detailed explanation would be very much appreciated
either that or a spawn list
And when you want to make a spawnlist you need to get in game and find browse. Then find the addon you want to make a spawnlist of. Then look in your spawnlist bar and click on: make a new spawnlist. when you made one, go back to your browse and rightclick on the model icon. Then with your mouse on at to spawnlist and choose on what spawnlist you want to at your model.
Holy shit im getting pissed. How do you copy an info text to a map? I know how to do everything else ok. And dont make a big deal about it either.
I'm sorry, but that is some shit grammar. If a word is spelt wrong couldn't you just change it with spellcheck?
thank you for the last time.
Where can i find the Opel Blitz Truck?
download place dont work for me :''''''(
Also the vehicles don't seem to be in this pack.
Or at least I didn't find them in the model folder.
Map and folder are two different things in English and in my language.
And the official name in dutch for computer folder seems to be directory, other names being: map and folder.
So why you didn't call it directory or folder like the rest of us instead of map is beyond my comprehension.

Women's soccer season ends in UMAC Tourney
Playing the tournament's top seed on the road, the University of Minnesota, Morris women's soccer team fell 1-0 to St. Scholastica in the semi-finals of the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference Tournament Tuesday, Nov. 2.
"I think we played very, very well," head coach Dan Magner said after the match. "We put in a great effort, and stuck well to our game plan. Going in 0-0 at halftime, we wanted to shorten the game, make it only 45 minutes and take our chances."
Although the chances were slim, the Cougars had them late in the match, but it came down to a missed touch, or a pass just off, that kept UMM off the board.
"Looking at this game, we would have had to play just about perfect to win," Magner added. "We thought we'd have maybe two or three chances to try and steal it, and we nearly did. But I'm proud of this team, they played very well together and gave a lot to each other."
The host Saints finally cracked the Cougars in the 89th minute, after goalkeeper Emily Jacob and the Cougar defense had already turned away 15 shots.
Out-shooting the Cougars 15-0, the Saints were still shutout as the game went into the final two minutes. After Jacob stopped a shot from the far right, the Saint's Megan Flesvig came back just seconds later with a shot from the left that snuck in for the winner.
The Cougars held one of the highest scoring teams in the conference to one goal, and made them work nearly all 90 minutes for it. The Saints average over 23 shots, and three goals per game, but the Cougars held them well below each mark.
St. Scholastica and UMM have engaged in three memorable battles this season, each decided by just one goal. After a 1-0 Saint win in Duluth in September, the last two matches have went down to the wire, including a 2-1 St. Scholastica win at Cougar Field just weeks ago, where the Saints broke a 1-1 tie with just over 10 minutes left in the match.
"We talked after the game about how much improved we are since our first game," Magner said. "We've come a long way - and gave great effort... playing one of our best matches."
The season opener Magner referenced was a 2-1 loss to Saint Benedict back on Sept. 1. The Cougars opened the season 1-4, before ripping off a 7-5-2 mark in UMAC play and finishing with an 8-10-2 record overall. Playing their best as the season wore on, the Cougars ripped off a stretch where they lost just twice in nine matches, capped by their performance at St. Scholastica.
"We thought we might have a chance if it got to overtime," Magner said. "We felt like we would have had the momentum and all it takes is one bounce your way. But still, we gave great effort, were focused and played with a great attitude."
The loss marks the end of the careers for three Cougar seniors. Along with Jacob, Rachel Harstad and Liz Vold each played their last game in the maroon and gold.
Kyrie Jorgenson's unassisted goal in the 48th minute of Saturday's UMAC Tournament Championship put Northwestern over the College of St. Scholastica 1-0, earning the Eagles the conference's first automatic qualifier into the NCAA Tournament.

De flea cats
Make bed (stuff duvet- tuck in sheets- crap I haven't done since it involves bending over)
clean tub (have it soaking in cleaner- smell is making me sick so I haven't wiped it down yet)
clear back patio
wash moldy bench we got for free
clear out my bedroom closet
assemble changing table
move tv (have one in the bedroom and never use it)
wash fridge
clean pantry
I am getting progressively less effective at housework as I get into my third trimester. I was really good the last few months. I stopped asking SO to do things and started doing them myself and was happy because they got done when I wanted them to.
Now I just lack energy and bendability.

Tagged: Portugal
10 years ago, Portugal decriminalized all drugs. It worked.
At a news conference marking the 10th anniversary of Portugal's bold experiment in drug policy — the decriminalization of all drugs — Joao Goulao, President of the Institute of Drugs and Drugs Addiction, said, "There is no doubt that the phenomenon of addiction is in decline in Portugal."
The number of addicts who repeatedly use hard and intravenous drugs has fallen by half since the early 1990s, when the figure was estimated at around 100,000 people.
Goulao, a medical doctor, stressed that treatment decriminalization was not solely responsible for the drop, but that treatment programs and risk reduction policies also played a role.
As E.D. Cain wrote at Forbes.com:
Many of these innovative treatment procedures would not have emerged if addicts had continued to be arrested and locked up rather than treated by medical experts and psychologists. Currently 40,000 people in Portugal are being treated for drug abuse. This is a far cheaper, far more humane way to tackle the problem. Rather than locking up 100,000 criminals, the Portuguese are working to cure 40,000 patients and fine-tuning a whole new canon of drug treatment knowledge at the same time.
None of this is possible when waging a war.
A group of former BC attorneys general yesterday proposed the decriminalization of marijuana, a policy that probably enjoys majority support in Canada despite decades of anti-pot propaganda. But few North Americans have the gumption to propose legalization of the hardest drugs. The Portugese experience shows that decriminalization of highly addictive drugs may show the greatest social benefit, since the addictive quality of those drugs gives crime lords their greatest leverage.
All this should be obvious to a laissez faire economist like Stephen Harper. Instead, his response to the monumental failure of the war on drugs is to escalate it. The Conservative Party of Canada talks a good line about personal liberty, but finds the use of police power to enforce their personal morality irresistible.
H/T: Shine Boy.
What really happens when you legalize drugs?
Faced with the conspicuous failure of the war on drugs, the Harper Government proposes to escalate it, as if doing more of something that failed is likely to succeed. Portugal took a different approach. On July 1(!), 2001, that country decriminalized the use and possession of all illicit drugs, a move many feared would accelerate social decay. The British Journal of Criminology has published a study of what actually happened:
This paper examines the case of Portugal, a nation that decriminalized the use and possession of all illicit drugs on 1 July 2001. Drawing upon independent evaluations and interviews conducted with 13 key stakeholders in 2007 and 2009, it critically analyses the criminal justice and health impacts against trends from neighbouring Spain and Italy. It concludes that contrary to predictions, the Portuguese decriminalization did not lead to major increases in drug use. Indeed, evidence indicates reductions in problematic use, drug-related harms, and criminal justice overcrowding. The article discusses these developments in the context of drug law debates and criminological discussions on late modern governance.
Talking sense on marijuana
Name the radical lefty who wrote this:
[M]arijuana… is an astonishing story of the hideously expensive and protracted failure of official policy.
There was an increase of 600 percent in the federal drug-control budget, from $1.5 billion to $18 billion, between 1981 and 2002, and it is almost certainly now over $25 billion, and yet cannabis as an industry is an almost perfect illustration of the unstoppable force of supply-side economics. Between 1990 and 2007, there was a 420 percent increase in cannabis seizures by drug-control authorities, to about 140,000 tons; a 150 percent increase in annual cannabis-related arrests, to about 900,000 people; a 145 percent increase in average potency of seized cannabis (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol content); and a 58 percent decline, inflation-adjusted, in the retail price of cannabis throughout the United States….
Despite the drug war's official costs of over $2.5 trillion over about 40 years, comprehensive research by the authoritative International Centre for Science in Drug Policy (ICSDP), a Canadian organization, but with wide international expertise and collaboration, reveals that cannabis is almost universally accessible to twelfth-graders in all parts of the U.S., and that cannabis use by American twelfth-graders has increased from 27 percent to 32 percent between 1990 and 2008; and, furthermore, that among all Americans between the ages of 19 and 28, use increased in the same period from 26 percent to 29 percent….
The Netherlands, which has effectively legalized cannabis use, has roughly half the incidence of per capita use as the U.S…. Differing regimes of cannabis decriminalization have been instituted by Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, and Portugal, which latter country, even nine years after decriminalization, has among the lowest cannabis-use levels in the European Union. There is a great range of policy options available, and observable in other countries, including restricting places of use, registering and rationing, increasing emphasis on treatment methods, and separating medical (use) from criminal (distribution outside official channels) aspects.
And the public-policy decision has been informally concerted to leave middle-class, prosperous American secondary-school and university youth alone with at least their soft drugs, while trolling relentlessly through poor African-American areas rounding up dealers and users, and imprisoning them en masse.
For blacks, the chances of being arrested and charged and convicted for cannabis offenses are 300 percent greater than for whites. Sending nearly half a million cannabis offenders to prison each year inflicts a $40,000 annual charge per prisoner, not counting the processing costs of the mass-convict-production U.S. law-enforcement system.
Domestic consumption of cannabis is an approximately $140 billion industry in the U.S., which, despite large domestic production, requires large imports, especially from Mexico, Canada, and Colombia. In Mexico, 20,000 metric tons of cannabis are shipped annually to the U.S., and the U.S. is in the position of telling foreign nations to cease production, while it will not impose the same solution on itself nor even make an all-out effort to discourage imports.
The result is a virtual civil war in Mexico, where 28,000 people have died in drug-related violence in the last four years, five times the number of Americans who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan in the last nine years. The beneficiaries of official American policy are the drug cartels, who make billions on it annually, and maintain private paramilitary forces including armored vehicles, submersible drug-transport ships, and a range of aircraft.

Meaningful brands for a sustainable future: A new approach to measuring brand value
Kate Cox
MPG Media Contacts
Both the OECD and the UK Government have recently published measures of the well-being of populations in an attempt to provide a truer account of people's state than using such blunt factors as Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
In its new analysis, Meaningful Brands for a Sustainable Future, Havas Media has re-framed this debate within the context of branding and marketing.
The report investigates well-being not in terms of governments and public policy, but in relation to businesses and brands. It applies the theory of well-being, at a personal and collective level, to brand attachment and equity, arguing that more meaningful brands drive business success in the short and long-term.
This research demonstrates that businesses that can successfully connect quality products and services to personal well-being have developed better business practices to make them more responsible partners in society, and are able to derive incrementally higher business success as a result.

Gold edged up on Monday as bargain hunters lifted prices from four-month lows, but gains could be capped by fears about a worsening debt crisis in Europe, after an inconclusive Greek election raised the risk the country could exit the euro zone and the European Union.
Gold edged up on Monday as bargain hunters lifted prices from four-month lows, but gains could be capped by fears about a worsening debt crisis in Europe, after an inconclusive Greek election raised the risk the country could exit the euro zone and the European Union.
Gold was behaving more like risk assets this year as the turmoil in Europe sent the euro to m ulti-month l ows and investors turned to the safety of the dollar, said analysts.
The US dollar has also been supported by optimism that more positive labour market numbers will be seen soon.
Gold added USD 3.39 an ounce to USD 1,581.69 by 0248 GMT, having hit a low around USD 1,573 o n Friday, its weakest since early January, on fears that the debt crisis in Europe will hurt global economic growth.
"I think for as long as the crisis in Europe drags on, it's going to keep sentiment broadly in check. At the moment, gold has been painted with the risk brush. It's going to be very much a tracker of the equity markets," said Nick Trevethan, a senior commodity strategist at ANZ in Singapore.
"The range should be from just below USD 1,580, up towards USD 1,600. The market really needs to get back towards USD 1,600 or above in order the confirm we have bottomed."
US gold for June slipped USD 1.90 an ounce to USD 1,582.10.
Money managers in gold futures and options cut their net long positions by 20% to the lowest level since December 2008, as investors aggressively unwound their bullish bets in the precious metal after a sharp price pullback.
Greece's president will continue talks with the country's political leaders on Monday to try to form a government after an inconclusive election left parliament divided between supporters and opponents of the 130 billion euro EU/IMF bailout.
Investors had turned to gold as a safe haven during the debt crisis last year, sending prices to an all time high of around USD 1,920 an ounce. But this year, gold is trading more in line as a commodity that moves in the opposite direction to the US dollar.
The euro broke an option barrier at USD 1.2900 and dipped to as low as USD 1.2881 at one point on trading platform EBS, its lowest level since January 23 after Greek political leaders failed in their latest efforts to form a ruling coalition.
The Nikkei rebounded to above 9,000 after China's decision to slash bank reserve ratios on Saturday, countered the unease surrounding the euro zone. Shares outside Japan slipped.
In the physical market, jewellery makers and speculators took advantage of last week's drop in prices.
"We've seen physical buying interest. But people are still bearish about the market because of the strong dollar and worries that Greece won't be able to solve its problems," said a dealer in Hong Kong.
"Investors are not so aggressive, and I think the jeweller sector is more important. Supply is a bit tight in the physical market."

Thank you Jake, I visited your site and you are also great artist
like your works, great imaginations.
a) They are cool paintings and I like your technique
b) you really need to tell us when you have copied another artist's work.
Copying isn't wrong (I mean how many copies of the Mona Lisa have been painted over the years), but not telling people leaves you open to charges of plagiarism, copyright infringement, etc. I'm absolutely sure that wasn't your intent but you need to be safe...
You are right but I find this pics over the internet and I dont know the name of the artists, I like them and put them in my vision, also the language barriere is a difficulties to explain every things what I like to say, I use google translator. I start paint ( after 13 years from last contact with brush) when I find conceptart, great organization, inspiration and motivation, too many great artists, I hope they can live and earn money from his works, in my country you cant live from art. If my intent is plagiarism I dont post them, but I post them, my intent is to paint something which inspire me and for me not to get glory over someon elses works.
Thank you for your comment I hope that you understend what I say
Another one
Some still life oil on wood
Overkillex - I understand translation can be an issue, BUT - those were clearly someone else's work, and it took me maybe 2 minutes to find their titles and the artist's name - because the title and name were attached to the 1st copies that came up in google. This applies to photos as well - the photographer owns the copyright and you must acknowledge it.
If you are copying something for your personal enjoyment that is fine. But if you post work as yours that you copied from someone else that is dishonest. Don't make excuses.
Justa if you like I will remove it.
At least I find who is one its Henning Ludvigsen, I will call this painting Henningens Wars

No you don't need to remove them, just remember to credit the artist, e.g. "I based this one on Hennig Ludvigsen's "The wall"".
the other one, by the way, is Hajieelkhe, by Linda Bergkvist.
Hello people,
I send mail with photo of the paintings to Henningen
and he replay:
Hi, thanks for the images. You've got a really nice collection of paintings there, congratulations. Great stuff indeed :-)
Very interesting to see how you've interpreted my piece and made it your own. Well done :-)
Thanks again!
All the best,
Henning Ludvigsen

Really nice oil painting skills dude!
A bit too much saturated colors for me, but I love your surrealist subject and your technical abilities are really impressive.
And I join Justa : When you copy an artist, don't forget to mention it. It's really important I think...
You can't just look at an image and copy it without knowing the artist's name for me. You can search inspiration this way of course, but for re-investing an artwork I think that you have to KNOW what's this artwork mean, by who it was created, etc...
Try to do a critic of the work that your copy and to respond the following questions :
- Artist's name
- What do the artwork mean to me, for the artist?
I'm not here to do a moral class to you LOL i'm 15 but, meditate about the fact that if you begin a reputed artist I think that you don't wanna see copy of your work without any mentions of their nature...
I keep trying to learn how to draw since I was 3 years old... except that I just understand that I have to pratice and that's all.
BTW i'm a french native speaker so my english can be really bad... I apologize...

Epiphone Les Paul Standard PlusTop PRO Electric Guitar, Left-Handed
Epiphone Les Paul Standard PlusTop PRO Electric Guitar, Left-HandedDetails
Product Ref: 27074View Full Description
Full DescriptionView Full Description
Comments from customers who bought this item:
Epiphone's history with legendary guitarist and innovator Les Paul dates back to the early 1940s when Les, working nights at the Epiphone factory on 14th Street in New York City, created one of the first solid body electric guitars, better known as "The Log." Over the next 15 years, Les continued to develop his dream guitar that would "sustain for days" and in the late '50s, the historic Gibson and Epiphone factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan produced the "sunburst" Les Paul Standard and its new pickup, the "PAF" humbucker.
Players like Joe Bonamassa, Slash, Ace Frehley, Zakk Wylde, Jimmy Page, Alex Lifeson and countless others get their signature sound from a "sunburst" Les Paul and now Epiphone gives you a chance to experience that one-of-a-kind tone at an affordable price with the Les Paul Standard Plustop PRO. The Les Paul Standard Plustop PRO features Pro-Bucker™ "PAF"-style pickups with coil-tapping, new colours and a beautiful AAA flame maple veneer top for a vintage look with all the modern appointments that players expect from Epiphone.
AAA Flame Maple Top and Classic Features:
The Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plustop PRO features a solid mahogany body with a AAA flame maple veneer top that delivers the classic tone and sustain that can only come from a "real" Les Paul. The body also features 1-ply cream binding on the top for a beautiful vintage look. Like all Epiphone Les Pauls (and unlike less costly designs), the Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plustop PRO features a 14 degree, angled headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut for longer sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.
The mahogany neck has a 24.75" scale with a 12" radius and features a 1960s SlimTaper™ "D" profile with a glued-in neck joint for lifelong stability. The rosewood fingerboard comes with pearloid trapezoid inlays, 22 medium-jumbo frets, a 1.68" nut, and 1-ply cream binding.
Epiphone Pro-Bucker™ Humbuckers with Coil-Tapping:
The Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plustop PRO now features Pro-Bucker™ pickups for that one-of-a kind Les Paul sound. Pro-Bucker™ pickups feature Alnico II magnets, the same magnets used in sought-after vintage PAF humbuckers. Alnico II magnets provide a rich, warm tone with a sparkling high end and a solid low end. The Les Paul Standard Plustop PRO features a Pro-Bucker-2™ in the neck position and a Pro-Bucker-3™ in the bridge position.
The Pro-Bucker-3™ is slightly overwound to provide balance with the neck pickup and a bit of edge for lead work. Pro-Buckers™ emulate the sound of original PAF pickups which were hand-wound. Both the neck and bridge pickups now also feature coil-tapping, controlled by a push/pull volume control, allowing players an infinite variety of pickup tones from single-coil bark to full humbucker bite.
When winding humbuckers, Epiphone utilises a double vacuum waxing process that ensures quiet operation free from microphonic hum. The pickup is first placed in the specialised wax vacuuming system before the cover is placed on the unit to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very centre of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax. Epiphone uses only the highest quality parts for its pickups, such as ABS plastic bobbins, 1010 Cold Rolled Steel pole shoes and pole screws, Alnico magnets and the finest magnet wire available.
Hardware to Last a Lifetime:
The Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plustop PRO features Epiphone's legendary rock-solid hardware including a LockTone Tune-o-matic™ fully adjustable bridge and a StopBar tailpiece. And now, Epiphone's updated, patent pending design auto locks the bridge and tailpiece in place with no tools needed! This also results in improved sustain.
The Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plustop PRO uses 1" diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service. Epiphone's all-metal toggle switches use rugged spring-steel contacts to ensure years of reliable service and performance. Epiphone's proprietary output jack features an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel to increase reliability and Grover™ 14:1 machine heads to ensure tuning stability.

What could be a more appropriate way to observe Mother's Day than with a concert featuring the voices of children.
That's what's in store for area residents attending Sunday's Celebrate 2000 Concert by the Georgia Children's Chorus at the Classic Center.
The free performance by the acclaimed group of 100 boys and girls ranging in age from 7 to 17 is part of a series of Celebrate 2000 events principally sponsored by the Athens Daily News and Athens Banner-Herald.
Celebrate 2000 is a yearlong program of concerts, charitable efforts and other activities leading up to the end of the millennium.
While there is no admission charge for the 3 p.m. concert, those attending must obtain tickets in advance from the Classic Center box office at 300 N. Thomas St. For information, call (706) 357-4444.
Attendees also are urged to help reach the Celebrate 2000 goal of collecting 2000 items of clothing for infants by bringing one baby item per family to the concert as a donation.
In addition to the concert, Sunday's program includes a brunch from noon to 2:30 p.m. at the Classic Center. Tickets for adults are $14.95 and the cost for children under 12 is $7.95 per person. Reservations are required and can be obtained by calling (706) 357-4480.
Part of the proceeds from the brunch will go for the support of the Georgia Children's Chorus, directed by music teacher Elizabeth Kimble.
It is not necessary to attend the brunch to gain admittance to the concert.
Sunday's brunch and concert are excellent ways to not only honor moms and give them a break from the kitchen, but to enjoy an outstanding musical performance while helping provide clothing for babies and supporting the musical development of older children.

Rent, Utilities, Phone, etc. do not end up on your credit report.... unless you lapse on payment, and they go to collections. Just look at your credit report on this site, you won't find any of those listed in "accounts".
The real way to build credit if you have none and/or bad credit is to sign up for a secured credit card. I'm not going to suggest one, but will advise you to take a close look at all of them. Some can become "unsecured" over time. Others never will. Most will have annual fees. Some will have "rewards" that you can earn. Take everything into consideration. This site provides reviews on a good number of them. Read the good ones as well as the bad ones.
Whatever card you go with, make sure that you never use more than 20% of the available credit. And pay in full when your bill is due to avoid interest charges.
After a year or so of this, you should be able to apply for more credit of the "unsecured" variety. At that point, put some recurring charge on the secured card (netflix as an example). You want continued usage and continued payment history, even if you only use 1-2% of the available credit. You'll want to do most of your business on the new card, with presumably a higher credit limit. Still though, you do not want to go over 20% available credit.
Good Luck!!

Are you paying rent? How about utilities? Phone? Most of these end up on your credit report. Just make sure they are paid on time and this will help. Consider reading some of the articles on this site (on the left side of this page you'll find the link) for more information oin building credit. It really isn't so much about the money you have, but how well you use it. There are extremely rich people who have lousy credit mand people with limited income who have excellent credit.

My husband and I were talking yesterday about stuff and this is one of the things that came up.
I honestly never thought about it like that. I was the OW, if my AP's wife knows about the A I helped ruin her life and their kids' life. I contributed to this devastating ordeal. I have done a lot of changing this past year to not go down that path again. I never want to be in that position again. And as my husband said, I hope my AP changes too, if not for him or his wife but his kids. If they know what went on, they are going to grow up thinking that it is okay to cheat and treat your family like shit.
It was a real eye opener when my husband pointed this out to me. It was something that never crossed my mind.
I don't really have a point to this post, just something that I have been thinking about.
Why do you suppose it took you so long to come to this realization? Not judging, just curious.
She got off very easy. BUT she better not tempt me.
I took the high road and she better appreciate it.
The way I see it - I'd rather not get in the dirt and wrestle a pig; the pig would enjoy it and I'd get dirty.
My AP said terrible, horrible things about his wife. The day after I ended the A, I went on this "mission" to find her. I wanted to see this "horrible monster" he described. I easily found her FB. The main picture was a family Christmas photo. I could not breathe. His beautiful wife, two precious little girls. She was nothing like he described. He had a beautiful life and is too broken to realize it. Much like I was.
I'd rather not get in the dirt and wrestle a pig; the pig would enjoy it and I'd get dirty.
"Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway." - J. Wayne
This is the 2nd time you've been flagged in this forum, please post within the forum description or you will be removed.
I never saw remorse from her, toward me or to her BH, but I hope for their sake she got there.
FR, whether you realize it or not, it doesn't matter whether she knows about the A or not, damage has been done. She may be blaming herself for M issues and bending over backward to make her WH happy, all the while not knowing that there was nothing she was doing wrong, and nothing she could do to fix things. That was me. And if that's the case, the kindest thing you could do would be to release her from that agony. As much as DDay hurt, it was a relief to stop trying to fix what i could never fix. Have you considered telling her?
I'm sure as she was/is recovering from this she couldn't be the parent they needed. It is such a selfish act in so many ways.
We do have responsibilities to other people, not just our spouses...
Nice to see an appreciation of how the A affects the BS's ability to be a parent. My wife has a huge block when it comes to allowing herself to see this has affected the kids, even though they don't know about the A.
I honestly never thought about it like that. I was the OW, if my AP's wife knows about the A I helped ruin her life and their kids' life
It's tough to admit and accept the damage that you and your affair partner caused. My wife started to really grasp that she was the other woman when the OM's BS called her. That call really shook her up.
Good realization.
Yes, I often wonder if OW knew the pain I was in? I knew she did not because she would harass me thru text and came to our home. But, what wh and OW did not know what the horrible emotional, mental and physical shape I was in for all those years. I became the mom and dad for that time and I was on edge all the time. Jumpy, shaking, crying, fustrated, forgetful, ect... I was a mess and the kids saw me like that. It was horrible.
You give me lots of pride in human beings because you are seeing it now and changing it. Thank you.
"You never know how strong you are until being strong is all you have left"
It's now six months since second Dday and I'm still in massive pain. I'm preoccupied with thoughts of her and wondering if she gets what she did to me and if she has any true remorse over it.
I'm glad to know you get it.
Why do you suppose it took you so long to come to this realization?
Honestly, I have thought about it before this. Just when I was talking to my husband, it really put it in perspective. I never took the time to think about it in depth.
Thinking about it like this though, it is something that I never want to happen again. It is something that we did as waywards and is something that we will take to our graves with us.
Honestly, of what I can remember my AP told me a few things about his wife. Things like they never had sex, stuff like that. I don't know what she looks like or anything but I know they have 2 boys together. I do remember that the first time after meeting him he called his son soon after. Who calls your kid while you have another woman in your car? It is something that has stuck with me and hasn't sat well with me. I am kind of haunted by the fact that he did it.
He had a beautiful life and is too broken to realize it.
I think that my AP is very broken too.
Much like I was.
I wish I would have realized how beautiful of life I had before I went and screwed everything up. Before I went and put this pain and trauma into our relationship.
Thank God not all of us OW/AP/WS stay nasty dirty pigs
it doesn't matter whether she knows about the A or not
In all honesty though, I only hope she does know so that she can heal. I never meant to hurt her or her family.
Have you considered telling her?
My husband tried for the longest time to find her so that he could tell her. Tried Facebook, phone book, internet. Nothing. If we were able to find her, she would know and I would have wanted to tell her myself as much as it would have killed me.
Faithful w/Love:
It has taken a lot of work to get this far and I still have a lot of work to do. I am going to continue working on myself and my relationship in order to get better and help my husband heal.
I cannot fathom the pain that I have caused his BS. Although I can imagine as I see it everyday from my husband.
You give me lots of pride in human beings because you are seeing it now and changing it. Thank you.
I only hope that other WS's have the strength to heal and become a better person for themselves and their families.

Today is Mega Swagbucks Day at Swagbucks.com – you can possibly earn up to 500 swagbucks! This happens every Friday!! A number of people are earning 3 and 5 swagbucks regularly, though–you can always check out who's earning swagbucks and how many they're earning by looking on the right hand side of their page under "Recent Winners".
Ways to earn extra Swagbucks::
**Tell all your friends and family about Swagbucks and have them sign up under you (details here) – you can earn up to 100 swagbucks for every friend that you refer (you will earn a swagbuck every time they search and earn a swagbuck) **Besides searching and earning the swagbucks yourself, this is the best way to earn the most swagbucks.
**Become a fan of Swagbucks on Facebook here, and right now they have a code for a free swagbuck–only good till 4pm PST (about 45 minutes left). Just look under their status updates!
**Follow Swagbucks on Twitter here and you will also find new ways to earn Swagbucks.
**Check the Swagbucks Blog regularly for ways to earn new Swagbucks!
For those of you who are new to Swagbucks, it is a great way to earn points ("Swagbucks") while searching the internet. So, instead of using Google (or another search engine), if you use Swagbucks, you will periodically earn a Swagbuck as you search. They have the same results as Google, as Swagbucks is powered by Google and Ask.com. As you accumulate "Swagbucks", you can then turn them in for prizes or gift certificates!! Go here to sign up if you're new – they'll start you off with 3 Swagbucks just for signing up!!
My favorite idea is to use them towards Amazon gift certificates!! You only need 45 swagbucks to exchange for a $5 Amazon Gift Card!! I've earned more than $50 in Amazon gift certificates just in the past few months! They also have Target, Starbucks, Disney store, and even Southwest Airlines gift certificates, in addition to many, many more! Those are just a few of my favorites!
**I find that the best way to regularly use Swagbucks as my search engine is to install the toolbar (go here to see the details). I then will automatically use Swagbucks instead of Google!! I also try to use it for everything—so instead of just typing in a website's address or going to my favorites–I try to use Swagbucks to search for that website and earn "bucks" that way!! You're not going to earn swagbucks every single time you search, but the more regularly you search, I've found the more frequently you will be earning "bucks".
