I wound up on the floor in tears, sobbing for hours and hours as if it was dday all over again, praying to die, hoping to die, wishing I wasn't such a chickenshit and could kill myself.
I'm never going to get over this. I am mentally ruined by this. I do not have one positive thing to think or say today. I obviously am worth nothing and mean nothing.
I wish I could not exist. And I just can't see this any other way.
He is broken and toxic. He does not define you!
I know you know that.
You are stumbling, you will not fall.
He is no fucking prize! You are.
You matter. Please reach out to someone irl if you really feel you are a danger to yourself.
But you are smart, capable, and worthy of love and respect. But you must love and respect yourself first.
Someone I love once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift. --Mary Oliver
And block her FB, for your own sanity. It took me 3 years before I finally blocked XWH and OW's FB's - it was freeing.
Hope you're feeling better cayc - you are VERY worthy of wonderful things in your life - but you would never have gotten there with him. FB and all that people post is unicorns - it's not real - and you lived with him - I guarantee she lives in her own hell - it's not like he's changed or anything. He is still who he was.

It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
Please, for your own sanity, block them both. Just block them.
You cannot give so much of your emotion, time, sanity, goodness to someone who does not deserve it.
You are seeing yourself through a very cracked lens, and you need to try and change that thinking. Your own thinking is hurting you right now.
We all see you as a brave, smart and beautiful human being. Why are you allowing what one giant asshole did you
determine who you are?
I am 4 years out, and the pain still brings me to my knees sometimes, with those deep, heavy sobs.
The hard part for me is that I do think my ex changed, a lot in part to becoming a father. A father to an OC that was conceived while we were together. Heartbreaking doesn't even come close to describing it.
I can't even say that I got the best of him. OW and OC did. That hurts like hell.
I am really sorry you are hurting today. I hope tomorrow is a better day.
Huge hugs, girl. You know that Facebook is it's own piece of unicorn fart land. You're never going to see someone post that they had bad sex last night, or post a pic of themselves with awful bed hair.
He didn't change his stripes. He's still a dick. You know this. How could they be happy? They're a couple of whores. You're so much more than that. They'll always be whores.
Now then:
I'm never going to get over this.
Why choose to internalize this ^^^ when you have the option to change your thinking?
Get up off the floor.
Go out and get some exercise.
Look into learning to meditate to control negative thought loops. They are like dry rot. You have to cut out the bad parts so they don't spread to the rest of the house.
You may even need to look into EMDR since your negative loop is so entrenched.
Choose to get through this to the other side, and stop looking at their shit.

Please be easy on yourself and make sure you're getting help for it and taking care of yourself. Sleep, exercise, nutrition, meditation are the big four. Meditation doesn't have to be anything fancy. It can just be regular time to unwind where you're not actively engaged in anything.
I hope you feel better soon.

However, just because I wasn't valuable to him doesn't mean I am not valuable to others. And it doesn't mean that I don't hold value in myself. XH is not the lens that I see myself through. He abandoned me and pretty much abandoned our DD. He blew up our family with lies, deceit, and betrayal of epic proportions. Why in the hell would I give merit to someone like that?
Yes, the pain is there and it will always be there. But please don't let it consume you. You are worth it.
I am just overwhelmed with grief to realize that for 2 years I've been busting my ass to overcome what happened only to realize all I've been doing is running in place and mentally I'm no better off today than I ever was. I am as lost as if all this shit storm really did just happen.
So lost that I'd rather the fantasy of giving up then having to figure out a way to feel better. I can't even imagine what better looks like right now.
All exacerbated by the crushing loneliness I live with day in and day out.
I know I'm being tiresome. It just really helps to get all of this out here because this is practically the only outlet I've got to be this brutally honest about how badly I am struggling.
Everything you have said (including checking the FB of OW) is what I think and feel. I get what you are saying. I have no one to tell how I feel to. I am EMBARRASSED that I still feel the way I do. Thinking that I am moving forward, and then wham, nope still feel like D-day.
Since yesterday, I have started rereading the books "Getting Past Your Breakup" and "The Journey from Abandonment to Healing" Hopefully I can pick up some nuggets to help me move on.

Oh, and a d-bag like your xWH is hardly a barometer for any human being's value as a person. In fact I would consider it a badge of honor if someone like him disliked me or even hated me. Like me xww your xWH is not the person we though they were. Their actions have defined them as people we should never want in our lives or to waste any time on them at all.
I looked at wife#4's FB. And saw that my xWH has fully moved on, is happy, and that I was never anything.
Everybody is happy on FB. In reality? Not so much.

Respectfully...bullshit. You don't spend every day on the floor sobbing for hours and hours. It happened this one time. You've done amazing things with your life; you've been in at least one other relationship since your D; you speak your truth here and help others.

It has become apparent in recent months that Miami restaurants are finally catching on to certain dining trends that have long been established elsewhere around the country -- like, for instance, an emphasis on letting foods speak for themselves in clean and sensible fashion. David Bracha, chef/owner of the new River Oyster Bar, appears to be heading in the opposite direction. As the former chef of Fishbone Grille, the popular downtown seafood joint that once occupied this space, Bracha offered up a wide array of fresh fish grilled, fried, blackened, and so on; he left the fancy stuff for daily specials. Here the menu is filled with fish dishes topped by frizzled leeks, fried noodles, and all manner of garnishings that architecturally heighten the plates, but pack about as much gastronomic punch as a bag of potato chips.
All but the most fanatic of Fishbone fans will acknowledge that the earth-toned River Oyster Bar is a prettier spot to dine, its hip-downtown ambiance replacing the formerly friendly, funky neighborhood one. A centrally located bar is the focal point, the room to the bar's left the preferable place to sit, containing as it does most of the seating and a glassed-in kitchen for visual stimulation. The smaller dining room is more or less like the old Fishbone with a paint job and new artwork. Although the River Oyster Bar is sleekly contemporary, its vinyl tablecloths and informal service keep it in the same realm of neighborhood restaurants as its predecessor -- just a prettier one with less bohemian charm, a smaller selection of fish, and a dash more pretension.
That might be an acceptable trade-off if the food and service were as improved as the décor, but, sadly, this is not the case. The first trade-down: In place of Fishbone's signature cornbread are slices of baguette served with butter and hummus. As food fads don't carry expiration dates it's difficult to pinpoint exactly when hummus as predinner bread spread became passé, but I'd venture to guess it was sometime in the mid-to-late Nineties.
River Oyster Bar
River Oyster Bar,
650 S Miami Ave, Brickell Village; 305-530-1915. Open for lunch Monday through Friday 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., dinner Monday through Thursday 6:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday 6:00 to 11:30 p.m.
Some starters are stuck in the same time warp, though prepared with enough aplomb to get by. Spring rolls of soft white rice paper wrapped around mostly somen noodles were paired with a pickled medley of cucumbers, peppers, carrots, and onions on the side, along with nuoc cham dipping sauce. Mini cylinders of crabcake, splashed with citrus reduction and squirted with chipotle aioli, were appropriately small in size for a starter, but the $12 price seemed high considering their pleasant taste derived as much from a savorily seasoned filling as from any abundance of crab. There wasn't much bacon to be seen in the "Apalachicola oysters casino" either, nor much seasoning to taste in the bland breading. The Florida oysters, though, were inarguably plump and juicy.
Not surprisingly the best thing about River Oyster Bar is its oyster bar. It's a great one, seriously thoroughbred mollusks imported from all over the country -- briny oysters from the algae-rich waters of Oregon's Yaquina Bay, salty-sweet Washington State Fanny Bays, crisp Atlantic Malpeques, petite California Kumamotos, and the aforementioned fat Apalachicolas, which at $10 per dozen are half the price of the others. All come with a trio of dipping sauces: cocktail, mignonette, and jalapeño relish.
What did surprise is that our favorite entrée was not seafood, but a bone-in breast of jerked Ashley Farms chicken, sweetly caramelized piquant skin wrapping in wonderfully wet white meat, accompanied by a vinegared jicama-carrot slaw and sensational smoked chili and cheddar cheese grits.
A seared fillet of Australian barramundi came flesh side darkly crusted, skin side crisped, and the soft meat between succulently cooked. At this point they could have added a light sauce or squeezed some lemon juice on top and called it a day, but instead dressed the fish with wedges of ripe tomatoes, barely ripe avocados, and crunchy strips of garlic-drenched yuca nested on top. These garnishes didn't obfuscate the barramundi's naturally rich, meaty taste, but neither did they enhance it. Nor did a beehive of fried leeks and vinegary dice of tomatoes and cucumbers ("salsa cruda") contribute much to a spicy cumin and chili-spiked salmon, which was amply accompanied by a deliciously smoky hash of yuca and chorizo.

Both barramundi and salmon were unquestionably fresh and properly cooked, but a rectangle of mildly blackened tuna, the main component of a "roll your own tuna taco," arrived in a medium state as opposed to "the rare side of medium rare" as ordered. Steamy hot corn tortillas were fine, even if there were only four to go with five slices of fish, and I suppose guacamole and more of the vinegary salsa cruda made apt taco fixings, but is jack cheese the best thing they could find for a third garnish? I bet even Señor Frog's could come up with more pizzazz -- or, at least, a more compelling cheese.
Desserts are of the homespun, easy-to-make variety, meaning you don't need a sugar thermometer, or even the ability to make crust, to put together an ice cream sundae with macadamia nuts or strawberries with whipped cream. We sampled two of the more "complex" creations -- chocolate-cherry bread pudding and a peach, blackberry, and walnut crisp, both meeting standard requirements of a satisfying dessert -- fresh and warm, sweet and tasty.
On one visit service was neglectful -- dishes and crumbs left on the table, bottles of wine not poured, an after-dinner coffee taking twenty minutes to arrive -- by which point we had given up and were ready for the check. Part of the problem may have stemmed from a large group holding a party. Their slide presentation also blocked the restroom entrance, leading a waiter to tell a member of our party "to try the bathroom next door at Tobacco Road" -- not something you expect to hear when paying at least $40 for dinner. On another, less hectic evening, service was more attentive, but our table still wasn't cleaned between dinner and dessert.
Attempting to make raw oysters, hummus, and fried yuca chips work cohesively on the same menu is like trying to form New Orleans, Egypt, and Cuba into one unified country. I'm not saying it can't be accomplished, but why try? I'll stick to the River Oyster Bar for a revitalizing after-work pick-me-up of chilled oysters and cold beer -- an unbeatable combination for a sultry South Florida evening.

Repeating the Past
Or a new approach for Lane County?
In order to continue to serve the public well, Lane County government needs more money. The question is, how do we get there? After more than 10 years of serving the citizens of Lane County, it's my opinion that enacting a flat rate income tax or placing such a tax on the May 2007 ballot is definitely not the way to get that badly needed revenue. In fact, I fear that this is a tragedy that will make it that much harder in the long run for Lane County to make the case to the citizens that more money is desperately needed.
First, a little history. October 30, 2000, was a great day for Lane County. That was the day that President Bill Clinton signed the "forest county payments law." The law gave Lane County an estimated $47 million each year for six years. Of that amount, $20 million could be spent on our county's general needs, $20 million could be spent for our county's roads and $7 million could be spent for our county's education service districts and the school children they support.
The recent votes by the U.S. House and the floor vote on the amendment in the U.S. Senate reaffirmed the intent of Congress to honor the federal government's responsibility. The Senate vote on March 28, 2007, was 75 to 22 to approve Senator Wyden's amendment for continued federal forest and desert county funding, a huge bipartisan show of support. Congressman Peter DeFazio had previously gotten funding in the House-passed bill. Was this all we wanted? No, but it will give us some more time for policy makers to keep working on the longer term federal solution. Perhaps in the future the federal government could make the payments to us based upon the amount of carbon federal forests sequester?
But more than six years after that day when President Clinton signed the temporary law, Lane County faces major problems. The first is that the county government, which has served people here for longer than Oregon has been a state, doesn't have enough revenue. I point out to my conservative friends that our tax base is the lowest in the state and that we get the smallest amount of revenue of any Oregon county. I point out that Lane County had 2000 employees in 1980 and has 1,300 employees in 2007. During that same period, the population we serve grew from 200,000 to 335,000. Lane County government is fortunate to have hard working and dedicated employees, but even they can't be expected to do more and more with tens of millions of dollars of reduced revenue.
But why does Lane County need more revenue? Basically, there is a squeeze on between the amount of revenue the county government can get from property taxes and the increase in costs. It's mainly because local control was substantially taken away from counties in 1990 when Oregon voters passed Measure 5. My conservative friends say that Lane County should live within its means. To that I say, yes, we should, and every year we do balance the budget, but we must also provide a high quality level of necessary public services. Lane County isn't just operating a jail and a system of prosecution; it's involved with many aspects of life in our community. I won't go into detail, but the services the county government provides are essential, and they are not frills. The federal and state governments require that Lane County provide many services, many without the state or federal funds to provide those services.
Let's look at voter attitudes. Back in 1994, the Lane County Board of Commissioners voted to enact a real estate transfer tax. It proved unpopular, and the voters circulated a referendum, and the tax was voted down. What about revotes? A revote is voting on something that people voted on one time, but then there's another vote. Two examples are bear and cougar hunting and "death with dignity."
In 1996 Oregon voters were asked to vote a second time on Measure 34, concerning bear and cougar hunting. It was voted down by a bigger margin than the original measure was passed. In 1997, Oregon citizens voted against repealing the Death with Dignity Law by a margin of 60 percent to 40 percent. The side favoring the Death with Dignity Law increased by 10 percent!
Lane County's commissioners have gone to the voters many times with a consistent theme: Lane County's public safety programs, primarily its jail and law enforcement functions, need more money. In essence, Lane County has said over and over, "Hey, hardcore public safety is a big responsibility of local government, and you'd want to support it, so vote for this measure." Recent examples of this approach have failed, with 51 to 62 percent voting no.
So we now come to one of the the biggest votes of the year for the Lane County Board of Commissioners, February 21, 2007. The vote was on enacting a county income tax, similar to the one involved in measure 20-114 a few months earlier. The 1.1 percent income tax would be dedicated to public safety; 60 percent of property taxes would be dedicated to public safety. It was supported by big business interests. They liked that the tax would be paid 86 percent by income earners and only 14 percent by business. The historic vote was 3-2 in favor of enacting a flat rate income tax. Why did I vote no? Because I think Lane County needs public support, and it needs more money, and it won't get that support until the community — or at least the registered voters who vote — support what Lane County government does. We must learn from the history of the prior public votes and recognize that the public has been consistently rejecting Lane County measures, especially when the sole focus is on "public safety," often to the detriment of other services like parks or mental health or public health. Putting out a ballot measure to ask voters to vote again will get the predictable negative response.
I think Lane County is worth fighting for. I think a strong viable county government is important. We need public safety. But we also need people to make well baby visits; we also need nutrition education; we also need parks and open space; we also need to build a sustainable economy; we need more recycling and reuse and the economic benefits that would bring; we need our roads maintained; we need help for our psychiatric patients; we need people to count the votes of the public accurately; and we need our taxes assessed fairly.
After all, isn't one definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?
So, in this particular season, there will be relatively little public information, no time for much community buy-in and no voters' pamphlet, and the same old scare tactics will be used even though those tactics haven't worked before. Will they work this time? Probably not. It truly is a shame that as a community we've lost precious months while the current board majority pushes a flat tax, regressive in nature — where all income earners, even the wealthy, pay the same rate of tax. It seems to some that when business pays only 14 percent of that tax, it's probably not a fair tax. On top of that, all of the revenue derived from the tax is devoted solely to public safety. This tax is similar to the one defeated in November 2006.
I think we know where this is going to go. Most recently the board majority approved cutting $610,000 out of Lane County Parks to help with an estimated $3 million current shortfall. Does that make sense? Park availability will decrease by one third.
What new approach would I like to see? The new approach is respecting the votes of the people, balancing the budget with what we have and building support for Lane County government. Instead of holding no hearings on the current proposed ballot measures, we should not only hold public hearings but hold open house opportunities for people to give their views and hear their suggestions. Bring the Board and senior county officials out to really listen to people. Let's respect the view that county government isn't just about one important aspect of what we do. Let's listen to ideas of efficiency. For example, it was brought to my attention that in the past when Lane County public works crews maintained sheriff's vehicles, it was faster and cheaper than it is now that the vehicles are maintained by privately owned facilities. The work has never been transferred back even though it might save as much as $500,000 per year. Let's make those kinds of changes that show that the county government wants increased levels of efficiency. Let's get out there and listen to people and build the support for all of the good things county government does.
Change course or more of the same? The answer seems obvious to me.
Pete Sorenson is a Lane County commissioner.

Texas Businessman Offers Mansions To House Tornado Victims, Charges $1 Rent Per Month
This Texas millionaire opened up his mansions to house some displaced families, in the hope that the luxurious sanctuary will "lift the spirits" of those who have lost so much.
In the wake of a tragedy, rarely is there enough emotional strength to consider how to move forward. That's why charity of any kind is extremely important.
Well, thanks to the kindness of a Texas businessman, some families affected by the tornado disasters in Texas will be receiving some big aid as they collect the pieces of their previous life and start anew.
KDAF News reports that Ron Sturgeon, a businessman and Texas millionaire, is opening two mansions as temporary housing for families who lost their homes in the state's recent storms. The payment for rent? Just $1/month.
The unlikely hero, who is a property investor and owns RDS Real Estate, was inspired to help when he learned about the storms last month. Knowing he had real estate that could serve as a temporary sanctuary for a couple of families, he took action.
While his company usually focuses on commercial real estate, Sturgeon owns two million dollar mansions (purchased as investments) that are currently up for sale.
Said Sturgeon:
"I was just thinking about having those two big homes. It doesn't make sense for them to be vacant when somebody could be using them that obviously would have a great need."
He said the idea to offer them as housing for displaced families "just overtook me."
Already, seventy people have applied, though his properties are a two-hour commute from the communities that were struck.
No matter, he's prepared to let one family live in each mansion for up to three months. If the mansions haven't found a buyer by then, he's open to extending that invitation.
He hopes that amenities, such as swimming pools, hot tubs, and personal theaters will "lift the spirits" of families who lost so much.
For someone who doesn't have to do anything to help out, this is a kind gesture that deserves some recognition and thanks.

PW6 In-Car Camera System - PatrolWitness
The new PW6 In-Car Video System from PatrolWitness is compact, rugged, and...
The Richland County (S.C.) Sheriff's Department has acquired an armored personnel carrier complete with a turret-mounted .50-caliber belt-fed machine gun for its Special Response Team.
Sheriff Leon Lott told the Columbia State newspaper that he hoped the vehicle, named "The Peacemaker," would let the bad guys know that his officers are serious.
"We don't look at this as a killing machine," Lott told the paper. "It's going to keep the peace. We hope the fact that we have this is going to save lives. When something like this rolls up, it's time to give up."
The Peacemaker has a top speed of 30 mph.

I'm not a member of law enforcement, but a gun enthusiast who frequently checks out the site for its firearms related content (which I think is very good). Anyway, I felt compelled to comment on this article, simply because I don't see any good reason why a police department servicing civilians needs to have an APC in its arsenal. I can really seen no legitimate use for such hardware that wouldn't warrant a call to the National Guard. In what situation would a county police department need to use an APC (complete with a .50 cal machine gun)? For those concerned about the militarization of civilian police forces and the bad things that happen as a result of the use of excess force during (what should be) routine police work, this is disturbing. Thanks - Burt Hoovis

There is no reason for a Police department to have an M2 machine gun. If there is that much firepower needed the cops need to call in the military, probably the USMC!! .50 cal isn't meant for use against people, its meant for use against vehicles.

Stacy Coley, arguably the top wide receiver in the state and the 4th best wideout in the country according to ESPN, could make his college decision as soon as Monday.
"I'll narrow it down Monday," the Northeast High School senior says. "I'll probably have my decision Monday."
But don't expect a public announcement until National Signing Day on Wednesday. Coley is scheduled to make the decision live on national TV at 11 a.m.
The consensus leaders are three in-state powers, Florida State, Miami and USF, with the Seminoles perhaps having the edge. But Coley isn't tipping his hand.
"I really don't have a top 5 or top 3," he told NBC 6 before the weekend. "I'm just looking to keep it all open right now."
Coley has the tools that have attracted over 1,000 letters from top schools across the country. He's 6'1", 175 pounds, with 4.5 speed in the 40-yard dash. He's also the only uncommitted wideout in the top 15 of Rivals.com, leading to a high-stakes relentless recruiting push.
"Sophomore, junior year, it was fun. My senior year, it became reality. It became bigger than what it was. I'm still happy to see all the colleges that I had, but frustrated at the same time, just wishing I could be an average student again," Coley says.
In his 3 varsity seasons with Northeast, Coley has caught at least 30 passes for 500 yards and 7 touchdowns each season, including a personal-best 10 this past year. He's also added 5 rushing scores for a total of 29 during his time in Oakland Park, earning a spot in the Under Armour national all-star game.
Coley's speed makes him a deep threat. He's averaging more than 20 yards a catch. And in this day of wide-open, pass first offenses, it's no surprise how much his athleticism is coveted.
He's been getting a hard sell from FSU. 'Noles Passing Game Coordinator and Wide Receivers Coach Lawrence Dawsey has built up a steady relationship with Coley and the all-county star has made a trip to Tallahassee.
But, Miami is heavily in the mix too. He was one of many recruits at the UM/Duke men's basketball game in Coral Gables that featured a capacity crowd storming the court after a rout of the former number 1 team. His coach may also have a say. Former Hurricanes fullback Donnell Bennett runs the Northeast football program.
"Coach Bennett and most of my coaches like the U," Coley admits. "But I feel like wherever my decision is, they'll be behind me 100 percent, even though they're messing around with me with the U."
What may not work in Miami's favor is the departure of George McDonald. McDonald served as Miami's wide receivers coach last season, but left to become offensive coordinator at Syracuse. He was heavily involved in Coley's recruiting process.
The teenager is doing his best to handle the pressure of the big decision.
"With the huge decision on my shoulders, I try to stay away from that. I have good coaches, a good principal, and a good family that just try to keep everything off my shoulders due to the fact that I'm so young."
Coley isn't comfortable with the spotlight, which in this day of divas at receiver is surprising.
"I get nervous in front of cameras. I'm not your ordinary average ranked player. I don't like the attention," he says. "I'm just a nice kid, a hard-working kid, willing to work wherever the coaches say."
"I stay smiling through bad times and good times. I like to laugh a lot. I get compliments on my laugh," Coley says with a grin before adding, "Girls say I have pretty teeth and a good smile."
He won't be the only one grinning on Signing Day Wednesday. You can rest assured his mom, Chantelle, will be beaming too. And crying.
"I'd bet the house on that one," jokes Bennett.
"I think she'll feel happy," Coley says with pride. "Growing up, seeing my mama struggle and for her to see I have an offer on the table and have college paid for, that's a big plus. Me, being the first boy to go to college and to achieve everything she always wanted in her kids, I think she'll be tremendous about my decision."
If his words don't express his bond with his mom, a look at his left forearm does. Coley wears a heart tattoo with his mom's name on it.
"It symbolizes the love that I have for my mom. I cherish her so much and the things that we've been through," he says.
It's just one of three pieces of body art. The senior also has one of the comedy and tragedy masks on the same arm.
"Joy and pain. It just resembles the hard work and the happiness of the hard work in your success. All of my tattoos mean something."
Coley's freshest ink will come Wednesday, when he finally ends the speculation, signing on the dotted line on a scholarship offer.
"I wouldn't be here without football. I wouldn't have the success that I have without football. Football is life."

Subsurface Transport of Oilfield Wastes
Presentation at the 2005 People's Oil and Gas Summit: Toxics in Our Communities
Published: November 3, 2005
By: Don Neeper, Ph.D.
The presentation decribes how liquids and gases move through the soil, and explains how contaminants can be transported both downward through the soil column, but also up to the surface, where they may be released into the air. The effects of oilfield contaminants, primarily salts, on soil and plants are also discussed. The various methods of storing and disposing of oilfield wastes (e.g., pits, ponds, landfills, landfarms) and the potential hazards associated with the various methods are addressed. And finally, the presentation ends with an overview of soil remediation methods for various types of oilfield wastes.

Anyone who reviews books for a living is besieged by books that shouldn't be. They come with the daily mail: pop psychology; schemes for winning in Las Vegas which, if they worked, the author surely wouldn't share; reminiscences of the almost famous with dust-jacket blurbs by the now forgotten.
Most quickly are tossed atop the pyramid of their predecessors.
But once in a while, a book arrives that is not so easily disposed of, though it might seem similarly naive judging by the quality of the writing or because it is self-published. The first sentence often goes something like: "I was 16 when I was sent to Auschwitz." Or Treblinka, or Theresienstadt, or Dachau.

For me I find that i dont need the lights coming on everytime i put it in reverse and i like to be able to turn them on while truck isnt running.. helps w/ hooking up trailer at night, unloading material etc. I also wired another set along the frame under the doors. pointing out which gives a nice entry light at night trying to get kids loaded in truck also works well when you have already backed past something so your rear lights wont work but you still have an obstical to get around along the side

"Could not use it when it arrived"
There is no way to administer this gel unless you get the $19.99 applicator gun. It does Not have a built in push applicator like the probiotic paste or selenium gel. Cannot vouch for the effectiveness of the product as I have not used it yet.
"Alternative to Fortified B Complex Injections for Goats"
We have had excellent results on debilitated goats with this gel, much easier than giving the Fortified B complex shots.
"Needs a dosage gun"
I manage to use it without a gun, but it would help to add this to the description. Also, goats HATE the taste, so brace for arguments.

THIS simple fish taco is inspired by Baja, the Mexican peninsula that stretches south like a slender finger from the Californian border.
It is surrounded by sea on both sides, so it's no surprise that fish and other seafood is popular, both for locals and the tourists who flock there for the sun and surf.
Quick, easy and not too filling, the recipe is perfect for an Aussie summer as well, with its burst of refreshing lime juice and crunch of raw veg.
Any firm, white-fleshed fish will work well. Just be careful not to overcook and dry it out.
Baja fish tacos
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Skill level: Easy
Serves: 4
60ml fresh lime juice
Pinch of caster sugar
2 1/2 tbs olive oil
1/4 white cabbage, cored, finely shredded
1 carrot, peeled, coarsely grated
4 radishes, ends trimmed, coarsely grated
1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves
1 1/2 tsp Mexican Chilli Powder
500g white fish fillets, cut into 8 strips
90g (1/3 cup) reduced-fat sour cream
8 flour tortillas
1 large ripe avocado, halved, stone removed, peeled, mashed
Combine 2 tablespoons lime juice, the sugar and 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl. Add the cabbage, carrot, radish and coriander and toss until well combined.
Sprinkle chilli powder over fish. Heat remaining oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes each side or until the fish flakes when tested with a fork. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
Meanwhile, combine the sour cream and remaining lime juice in a small bowl. Heat the tortillas following packet directions.
Spread the avocado over half of each tortilla. Top with the cabbage mixture and fish. Serve with the sour cream mixture.

Conducting job interviews requires a tricky balance between politeness and assertive evaluation. One wrong word or action can drive an applicant away—or even trigger a lawsuit.
Pay extra attention to the following top 10 mistakes that managers make in interviews:
1. Talking too much
Don't deliver monologues about the job, the company or your background. Resist the temptation to prattle on about your feelings about the company or its products. Aim for an 85/15 split, with 85% of your time spent listening. Don't rush to break a silence. Give applicants plenty of time to respond.
2. Failing to prepare
Don't quickly scan a résumé for the first time just before conducting an interview. Take time to review it beforehand and think about what you want in a new employee. Preparation will help you keep the interview on track and determine whether a candidate is qualified.
Even the best manager can make serious hiring mistakes. Boost your skills at interviewing, evaluating and selecting job candidates with A Manager's Complete Guide to Hiring.
3. Asking questions off the cuff
A loose approach isn't good for interviews. At best, it can be uninformative and, at worst, legally dangerous.
Prepare a list of questions and stick to them. You can go deeper into an employee's background and achievements, but start with general questions about abilities and achievements.
4. Not knowing your legal limits
Interviews are a legal minefield. Make sure everyone involved in the interview process, including employees you bring in to meet the applicant, understand what they can and can't ask legally. Avoid questions like:
- Are you married? Divorced?
- How old are you? (unless it's a bona fide occupational qualification)
- Do you have children or intend to?
- What are your day care plans?
- Do you own or rent your home?
- Do you have any debts?
- Do you suffer from an illness or disability?
Every question should revolve around one issue: How well could this person perform the job at hand?
5. Not being straightforward
Provide a realistic overview of the position, including its less appealing facets. This allows candidates who are hired to make a decision without later feeling they were duped. Downplaying a position's unattractive aspects will result in employees who don't like their jobs and look to leave.
6. Overselling the position
During the first interview, find out as much as possible about the applicant, rather than exhaustively detailing the open position. As mentioned earlier, listen more than you talk.
If you're interested in the candidate, this first interview will give you insight on how to sell the person on the job. If you're not interested, you won't have wasted either person's time.
Also, remember to note that your organization verifies claims on résumés.
A Manager's Complete Guide to Hiring includes complete training, handy PDF guides, even a library of skill-based questions. Order your copy here.
7. Becoming blinded by personal preferences
Are you both baseball fans? Do you have kids at the same school? Avoid letting a common interest you have with the applicant bias your feelings favorably, especially if the interest is irrelevant to the job. Just because you both run marathons doesn't mean the person can keep up the pace at work.
8. Being impolite
Don't start interviews late or end them abruptly without an explanation. Don't cancel at the last second without an apology or read emails and take phone calls during interviews.
Candidates who value politeness may wonder whether they will receive it on the job. Applicants may also question if the department is organized.
9. Not making top candidates feel wanted
The best applicants know their value. They have options and desire to go where they are wanted.
Don't fawn over interviewees. But let top applicants know that they have valuable skills and will be considered highly. Of course, never allude to promises of employment. That could turn into a breach-of-contract lawsuit if the person is rejected.
10. Making snap judgments
Quick, negative judgments based on first impressions and "instinct" are often wrong.
Such reactions are subtly communicated and may turn off a top candidate. Be open-minded and friendly without signaling disapproval.
This CD is both a laser-focused training tool and an ongoing resource. A Manager's Complete Guide to Hiring gives you:
- A 22-step interactive course, complete with slides and audio narration that takes you quickly and efficiently through the training process from developing a job description to avoiding job-offer pitfalls.

Now you can go skiing without the skis
It seems like Personal Mobility Devices are all the rage these days. Toyota has their line-up of Winglets, Honda recently showed off their U3-X unicycle, and now Nissan has unveiled their own prototype developed through a partnership with AIST (Japan's National Advanced Institute of Science and Technology). The device has two foot boards, both of which are balanced on two wheels. The device's tilt sensors detect when you shift your weight to turn, traveling at a maximum rate of about 5kph. The foot boards have handle bars attached to help you maintain balance, and can be connected in a variety of positions or separated.
When separated, the device only moves forwards and backwards. To turn, you simply lift and turn your leg as if you were wearing stilts. The overall effect is one of ski-less skis. Whether or not they'll actually market this device is still up in the air, likely dependent on whether or not their competitors bring their mobility devices to market.

El Lazarillo de Tormes
Considered the first modern novel, "Lazarillo" unveiled a classic novel genre called the picaresque. This form of writing continued well into 20th century with "La Familia de Pascal Duarte" by Nobel Prize winner Camilo José Cela.
The main features of these books are:
- They are autobiographical: the narrator speaks in the first person and relates the events that have happened to him in the style of a personal confession, e.g. "El mundo me ha hecho así, pero yo soy bueno" (lit: the world did this to me, but I myself am good).
- They narrate the life of the protagonist from his birth and infancy.
- Realism dominates the story, describing facts and real places.
- The protagonist is from a low social class and his life has not allowed him to climb the social ladder. He moves in bad crowds and with the poor.
- The cynic attitude and social criticisms of the protagonist are essential to this type of story.
"El Lazarillo de Tormes" unveiled this movement, which would be continued by other novels such as "Guzmán de Alfarache" or "El Buscón" by Fancisco de Quevedo.
The protagonist is Lázaro de Tormes who was born in Salamanca, in the waters of the river. When he was still a little boy his mum sent him to accompany a blind man because she could not afford to feed him. The young boy loses his innocence through the cunning deeds of the blind man. But after abandoning him, things go from bad to worse for Lázaro. He is the prototype of the anti-hero. Up until this point stories about knights had been full of idealized heroes who went on incredible adventures, but here the main character is a human full of flaws, one that makes mistakes. The book was persecuted by the Spanish inquisition, which only permitted the publication of some of the chapters. The novel was not known as a whole until the 19th century.
At this point literature was in the middle of the Renaissance. It had changed from the theocentricism (belief that God is the central aspect of our existence) to the Middle Ages, to the Humanist anthropocentrism (belief that life centers around us). Man, with all his virtues and flaws, is the center of the novel. Critics have said that glimpses of the economic crisis that would arise in Spain during the following reign of the Asturias family can be seen in this novel. It was a crisis that would last for centuries, during which time the Empire would fall but by bit until it disappeared completely at the end of the 19th century.

Any collector willing to move forward a few decades can benefit from this bias. "Federal furniture is still very undervalued," according to Brunk. "You can buy a beautiful New York breakfast table made in 1810 for a couple of thousand dollars—not much more than the price of a new one—and many other pieces are available for under $20,000." Last January, Christie's sold a Federal inlaid mahogany sideboard circa 1790–1810 (est. $6,000–$9,000) for just $7,768. Six months earlier, at Sotheby's, a circa-1810 carved Federal mahogany lolling chair (which in the late 19th century became known as a Martha Washington chair) attributed to Lemuel Church of Boston was purchased for $14,400 (est. $6,000–$9,000).
"There has been a huge gain in the popularity of Federal armchairs in recent years," notes Pennsylvania dealer Carey. "People also like dining room furniture, secretaries, and small tables—and sofas, which are actually very comfortable when you upholster them as they were done in 1800, with lots of pillows." All these pieces are appealing and versatile: "People like Federal-period furniture because it mixes well with both 18th-century and modern pieces," says dealer Sumpter Priddy of Alexandria, Virginia. "It's crisp, clean, and very good quality."
Of course, some Federal pieces are better quality than others: "The quality of the design, the wood, the construction, and the inlaid decoration all influence the price," says Leslie Keno, senior American furniture specialist at Sotheby's and the co-host of the television show Find. Among inlay motifs, adds New York dealer Leigh Keno, his brother and co-host, the American eagle is the Holy Grail. "A games table that would sell for $3,000 would top six figures with an inlaid American eagle on it," Keno notes. And while a stellar provenance or attribution to a famous maker adds value, "proportion is the most important variable," says New York private dealer Carswell Rush Berlin. "For example, if a Federal sideboard's case is in good proportion to the length of its legs, everybody wants it. If it's not, you can't give it away." The Hewlett family Federal mahogany eight-legged New York sideboard offered at Christie's in January of 2000 had it all—excellent proportions and provenance, a bow front, eight legs, and shell within oval and bellflower inlays. It sold for $299,500 (est. $70,000–$100,000). The simple elegance of four side chairs (circa 1810) at Leigh Keno Antiques and their attribution to Duncan Phyfe elevate their price to $98,000; at Hirschl & Adler, a mahogany sofa by Phyfe (circa 1810) was just sold to a museum for $125,000. These top-flight pieces, which experts estimate to make up only 5 percent to 10 percent of the Federal furniture market, are more expensive and less available but as an investment is the better choice.

Additional Information
Dirty Projectors have been a part of my life since I heard their first album, The Glad Fact. At the time, I knew nothing about Dave Longstreth or the album he'd recorded under his own name as a college freshman, The Graceful Fallen Mango – an album I've always wanted to call "a fine slice of New England soul music" (whether or not that's really accurate). The Glad Fact inspired me to write my first and only record review, in which, with all the awkwardness befitting an inexperienced and overzealous writer, I proclaimed,
"Dave Longstreth is making his own fucked-up version of American music."
It's funny to think that I would go on to play in the DPz touring line up and have my keyboard playing make it on to the New Attitude EP – let alone become budz with the dude!
When I first met Dave he mentioned that he'd read the review and asked what I meant by "fucked-up American music." I found it hard to articulate any sensible reason why I'd used that description, but some deep, non-verbal part of me felt like bro, it's really true.
Now, four game-shifting, next-level DPz releases later, I'm hearing the newest album, Bitte Orca, for the first time and that awkward phrase is crawling back into my head.
Staring at the album's title and tracklisting, I feel a little shut-out. I can't glean any concept or narrative from titles like "Cannibal Resource" or "Useful Chamber." I start to realize that this album can't be explained as reductively as Rise Above ("Damaged re-imagined") or The Getty Address ("concept album about Don Henley with nods to modern R&B"). This is exciting.
At first, I listen to this record hunting for a theme. I hear big riffs that make me think of classic rock, so I think, "Is this Led Zeppelin deconstructed?" I hear folk guitar picking and gorgeous strings, so I think, "Is this 60's folk-pop re-imagined?" But, as is usually the case, my lame attempts at categorization fade away and soon all I can hear is Dirty Projectors.
Ultimately, I don't hear Brian's brutally excellent drumming or Dave and Amber's riffs as "classic rock" signifiers. "Temecula Sunrise" is not the sound of Dad cracking open a brew in '75. It's not Physical Graffiti for 2K9; it's 2K9's Physical Graffiti. You feel me?
I couldn't explain what I meant about "fucked-up American music" six years ago and I'm not that interested in trying to explain it now. I just think it's fitting to describe DPz with a phrase that's been exploited by the worst of the worst and the corniest of the corniest, but has always had the potential to mean something rad:

JoJo Busts Out Her Ginormous Cleavage For Vibe!?!?January 27th, 2012
As you guys are probably well aware of, Jojo (aka Joanna Levesque) has been trying really, really hard to convince us for the better part of the last two years that she has reinvented herself as a sexy little minx, which she has failed for the most part if you ask me… that is until now.
Here she is dropping everyone's jaw with a shwingtastic display of her ginormous cleavage in a behind the scenes video for Vibe magazine. Say it with me my peeps… hoochie mama! Wow, when the hell did her bosom grow into huge shwing-fest!? Ok, I admit it; that's definitely sexy. Unfortunately, her face (and especially the shape of her face) is exactly the same. Oh well, it's not like it's going to distract us from the huge cleavage bonanza, right? Right. Enjoy the screen caps and video!

Probability To calculate the probability of an event based on the outcome of a test
Nathan had an infection, and his doctor wanted him to take penicillin. Because Nathan's father and paternal grandfather were allergic to penicillin Nathan has a 75% chance of having the same allergy. The doctor performed a skin test to see whether Nathan would react to it. The test 98% accurate. If the test predicts that Nathan is not allergic to penicillin, what is the probability after the test that Nathan is not allergic to the drug?

You've probably engaged in personal conversations at work around the water cooler about all sorts of idle chit chat, but one local township office wants to eliminate that chatter for good.
A new policy would mean Flushing Township employees can only talk business during business hours.
Now, some employees have come forward to say that this is a violation of their most basic right.
Julia Morford spoke with TV5 about the proposed speech restrictions at Flushing Township Hall. Morford is the township clerk, and under the new rules, she and others can only talk business while they're on the clock. Supervisor Rian Birchmeier put the new policy in place in late July. Morford doesn't think it's necessary.
"I don't agree with it," said Morford. "There's times when we want to talk about crafts or family or things like that. And as long as the employees get their work done, that's the main thing."
Morford also believes the new rules hurt morale in the workplace. "It does make it kind of stressful," she stated.
TV5 reached out to Birchmeier with questions about what can and can't be said in the workplace. He refused our request for an interview, and says he has no comment on the issue.
Some residents say the new policy is full of hot air.
Talk about the "no talk" policy is a hot topic around town. Resident David Battles doesn't agree with it.
"He's a rat hiding behind a barn door. That's basically what it is," said Battles. "Anytime you allow somebody to dictate what you can talk about, you're giving up some freedom. And I just don't think that's right."
But township resident Adam Jones said he likes the policy. "Business is business," said Jones, who went on to say that it's his tax dollars at work. "They shouldn't be in there talking about what they saw on TV last night," Jones went on. "They should be in there fixing the problems we have in our community."
In the end, Morford knows that work comes first and that talk must come later, but to her it's all about finding a happy medium. "You have to have a high morale in the office," said Morford. "And you can't do that when you restrict the employees."

Federal Security Grants Fund Maintenance
The Passenger Vessel Association (PVA) announced in its newsletter that for the first time, funds awarded under the Port Security Grant Program will be available for certain "maintenance and sustainment" costs, including warranties, costs of repairing or replacing equipment, and user fees. In the past, grants were generally restricted to capital costs only. This limitation had come under increasing criticism, as vessel operators completed capital improvements to increase security but increasingly contended with recurring operational costs of security measures. PVA successfully urged Homeland Security officials, including Secretary Janet Napolitano, to loosen past restrictions.
PVA members who operate vessels with required security plans are eligible to apply for these security grants from the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Federal funding will pay for 100 percent of an approved project; there is no cost-share requirement. A total of $288,000,000 will be made available (this is a reduction of about $100m from the prior funding round). The application deadline is February 12, 2010.
Also, for the first time, there will be no "set aside" of funds reserved only for ferry operators. Instead, all eligible vessel operators (including ferry systems) will be categorized depending on the port in which they operate and will compete for funds within that port category.
FEMA has established four priorities against which grant applications will be judged:
• Enhancement of Maritime Domain Awareness (acquisition of AIS units would fit within this priority)
• Threats posed by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs or bombs) and chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive weapons (FEMA notes that ferry vessels may be especially vulnerable)
• Security training and exercises
• Implementation of the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)
In the previous funding round, several PVA members applied for and received grants for the purchase of Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) for their vessels. Now that precedent has been established that security grant funds can be used to acquire AIS units, other PVA members may wish to consider applications for this purpose. PVA's staff is updating a template for such an AIS application; it will be available for members' use after January 5, 2009.
Certain operators of larger ferry vessels may apply for grants for canines trained to detect explosives, but there are considerable restrictions to such grants. More detailed information for the fiscal 2010 Port Security Grant Program, including a Guidance and Application Kit, is available at: http://www.fema.gov/government/grant/psgp/index.shtm

Hello! Sorry about the late reply, I haven't been on here in so long because of school and work. Any how, I made the waist band the way you would usually make an elastic waist. The best way to describe it is that I hemmed the raw edge to make a waistband by folding the raw edge down about one inch and sewing it closed. Then i inserted elastic through the "tunnel" made by the hem. I know it's hard to describe without pictures please let me know if this makes sense. Hope this helps =) Charissa
