Last week, the Arizona Fall League wrapped up its 2013 season. Unlike last year, Phillies players did not win the AFL Championship or even play in it. In fact, they weren't even close. Peoria finished last in the Western division with a 12-19 record. That wasn't the worst record in the league, but they were [More...]
Phillies Prospects: Baseball America's League Top 10 Wrap-up
Over the past month, Baseball America has been rolling out their top 20 prospect by minor league lists. Their top 10 and 30 lists by organization always get more attention, but in a way, the top 20 lists are more informative. When you're comparing Jesse Biddle to Maikel Franco, you can decide one is better [More...]
Phillies: Potential Prospect Help In 2014
After another unsuccessful season, the Phillies will start looking toward 2014. There isn't enough money to address their many needs in free agency, so they'll have to see if they can produce some of their own talent. That's been an issue for them lately because of some of the trades they made when they were [More...]
Phillies Minor Leagues 2013 – Post-season injury updates
It was a rough year for some prospects in the organization. Nine players in my top 30 list entering the season were affected by injuries, many of them closer to the top of the list. Every organization has to deal with this because player health isn't a certainty, but it seems like the Phillies were [More...]
Phillies 2013 Draft Review – 3 Months Later
It's now three months since the 2013 draft, and the picks who signed have completed their first professional season. The stats these players compiled are often not indicative of how their careers will pan out, but it's still something to look at. For example, after being drafted in the fourth round in the 2011 draft, [More...]
The Bad & The Ugly: A look at the Phillies catching depth
A prospect's stock can be volatile. Over the course of a season, injuries or poor performance can have a prospect quickly go from potential star to longshot to used car salesman. Growth, mechanical or mental adjustments can also help a prospect emerge. Teams can have long-term plans all they want, but the reality is that [More...]
Phillies send seven prospects to the Arizona Fall League
Tuesday, Arizona Fall League rosters were announced. This off-season, seven Phillies minor leaguers will compete on the Peoria Javelinas alongside players from the Astros, Mariners, Padres and Royals. Teams usually send players to the AFL for one or more of the following reasons: they missed time during the season with an injury or suspension, players [More...]
Phillies Minor Leagues: 2013 Postseason Chases
Minor league seasons are winding down very soon. For Phillies affiliates, the Gulf Coast League ends on the 29th, Lehigh Valley, Reading and Lakewood end on Labor Day, Clearwater the day before, and Williamsport two days after. That means there are about 10-15 games for prospects to improve their statistics and for teams to improve [More...]

NEW YORK and NEW DELHI, September 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Waterkeeper Alliance has named The Gyalwang Drukpa, founder and patron of Live to Love International and spiritual head of the Drukpa Buddhists, the 'Guardian of the Himalayas'. This honour was bestowed on the Gyalwang Drukpa and Live to Love for their water conservation and awareness efforts in New York.

Waterkeeper Alliance (founded in 1999 by environmental lawyer Robert F Kennedy Jr. and several Waterkeeper organizations, http://www.waterkeeper.org/) is committed to grassroots advocacy and an unfaltering belief that everyone has a right to clean water. It collaborates with like-minded organisations across the world and provides a way for communities to stand up for their right to clean water and for the wise and equitable use of water resources, both locally and globally.
Live to Love, under the guidance and patronage of the Gyalwang Drukpa, has been engaged in creating grassroots-level awareness on water conservation and glacier preservation. In 2010, Live to Love had created a Guinness World Record for most trees planted in one hour by planting over 66,000 trees under harsh conditions in Leh, India. In 2012, Live to Love broke their 2010 Guinness World Record by planting 99,103 trees. This was done as an environmental initiative to hold the soil together, create and catalyse water retention, and stop landslides and soil erosion.
Speaking of the Waterkeeper Alliance honour, the Gyalwang Drukpa said, "Live to Love is committed to preserving the environment and creating a sustainable ecological system that ensures that we give back to the nature from which we continue to draw incessantly. With global recognition and support like these, we will continue to do our small bit towards preserving the planet for our future generations."

WARSAW, Poland - Poland's airline LOT says it may seek compensation from Boeing Co. for the grounding of its two 787 Dreamliner planes due to security concerns.
LOT says both its Dreamliners are safe to fly, but kept grounded in Chicago and in Warsaw after United States and European flight safety authorities banned all Dreamliners from flying. The authorities ordered security checks due to a risk of battery fires following recent incidents.
LOT Deputy President Tomasz Balcerzak said Thursday the airline is counting costs incurred by the idling of the planes and in due time will complain to Boeing. He stressed the problems are not the fault of the airline.
LOT is Europe's only carrier to have Dreamliners, hoping they would improve business.

The BEST place to stay in New Orleans.So comfortable and relaxing unlike any other hotel in the French Quarter.Makes you feel like your at home,BUT not for kids(thank god!) The pool is clothing optional and many adults take advantage of it.Bud Light in the vending machine for a $1.00!! You really have no reason to leave the property.Just relax and enjoy yourself. - Heidi
I liked the fact that the hotel was very well maintained and quiet although it was located very close to the busy section of the French Quarter, which I also liked. I also liked the public parking garage that was very close by and cost much less than the hotel's price of $30 per night for parking on the premises. - Robert

So I've seen a number of threads on this, but none that really solve my issue.
I have this input lag, and this includes my mouse and keyboard actions.
If I move the mouse, I get like a half second delay before it responds. If I move forward, backwards, left or right with my keyboard, I get the same half second delay.
Now if I'm in the game menu, I don't get this lag at all.
I've done some previous suggestions like "Disable V-sync" in my video options, as well as turned down video settings.
I can't seem to get this to work.

My favorite class thus far has been Epidemiology, which is the study of disease outbreak and prevention. I liked this class because it is the cornerstone of public health. Plus, it is amazing how many little details actually go into public health programs that keep us safe and healthy on daily basis.
Public Health Careers
A predicted shortage of trained public health workers will drive a demand for qualified and caring graduates in this field in the coming years, especially in light of current healthcare changes. Gain the knowledge you need to enter this growing field, which includes private and public practices aimed at promoting health and preventing diseases, with our major in public health. You'll be primed to truly make a difference in the world.
As a public health professional, you'll be prepared to address current public health issues including childhood obesity, disease outbreaks, disaster prevention and recovery and nutrition and exercise. And, if your interests lie in the social implications of health and wellness, you'll be encouraged to take the Certified Health Education Specialists exam after graduation.
Students will be prepared to pursue graduate study in public health or rewarding work, which awaits in numerous and diverse settings including:
- Health departments
- Hospitals
- Research laboratories
- Colleges and universities
- Non-profit organizations
- Foundations
- Pharmaceutical companies
- Wellness centers
- Health insurance corporations

Modern Frisbees don't look much like tins from Bridgeport, Conn.'s, Frisbie Pie Company--the decades-old platters behind the name. But they fly through the air for the same reasons. Both are essentially spinning wings that stay aloft thanks to aerodynamic lift and gyroscopic stability.
Forward flight splits rushing air at the disk's leading edge: half goes over the Frisbee; half goes under. Because that edge is tipped up, the disk deflects the lower airstream downward. As the Frisbee pushes down on the air, the air pushes upward on the Frisbee--a force known as aerodynamic lift. The upper airstream is also deflected downward. Like all viscous fluids, flowing air tends to follow curving surfaces--even when those surfaces bend away from the airstream. The inward bend of the upper airstream is accompanied by a substantial drop in air pressure just above the Frisbee, sucking it upward.

The screens on the Nintendo DS are 256x192 pixels.. so there really is a limited amount of screen space on there. You won't be able to read anything if the full page is downscaled to the screen. That's why the magnification is handy and will make it easier to browse around.
Originally posted by haavard:
Yes because the screen resoultion on the DS is so much smaller then a standard PC the bottom screen allows you to see it as if you were looking at it on a PC while the top screen is the exact resolution.I don't think that kind of information is relevant to the vast majority of people who own a DS... This is a mass-market device, remember. The point of zooming in is to be able to read the text, I guess.
EDIT: Yeah what A_LEE_N said /\

From the looks of it, it seems that the webpages are downscaled on the lower screen and magnified up to full size on the upper.. It's not what I imagined when I first heard about this, but it certainly could work just great.
That is actually exactly how I hoped they would do it Zoomed on one screen and a zoomed out version on another.
But I hope its not priced to high, like its been seggested at the momment.

Opera will have two modes: fit-to-width mode (similar to what mobile users are already familiar with their mobile phones using the Opera Mobile browser). This mode will use Small Screen Rendering to fit the page across both screens. Alternatively, there is a DS mode which displays an overall page view on the lower screen (where you may use the touch screen to navigate around a sort of "mini map") and read the text on the top screen in full-sized view.
Originally posted by trinest:

The price will be 3,800 JPY, which is not too much considering cartridges are not free.

Nintendo won't bundle additional hardware with a device unless it's essential to that device's use. The Opera Browser is, so far, planned to only be offered as an add-on cartridge.
Flash-enabled pages?
The Kitchen Sink?
Also, presumably it will be a DS card and not a GBA Cart? It'd be nice to have it as a GBA Cart since I don't swap things out from down there as often as I do my DS games, but it would make more sense to use the DS Card format, presumably.
Edit:// Also, if my like 5 posts in 30 seconds hasn't given it away... I'm /very/ excited for this. haha. don't worry, I'll forget about the forums again soon and stop being annoying, haha.

I can live without flash allthough it would be a nice extra, maybe in future updates or so ...
A mail application would be nice too, but then you have the problem that your mails and attachments are on your game cart. And how to put them from there onto your mac/pc?
I just hope there will be a way to update the application ...

I think this is a much more important question than whether or not there will be an IM client or RSS reader. If you have sufficient AJAX support, you can use websites like Meebo for instant messaging and Google Reader for RSS feeds.
I have a question about the two images I've seen of Opera on the DS so far:
Why use the top screen for the zoomed in view? It makes much more sense to me to see the entire page zoomed out to page width on the top screen of the DS for context, with a light or dotted box to show the portion of the webpage displayed at 100% zoom for clicking on the bottom screen. The D-pad of the DS would make an intuitive way to move the "box" around the top screen, scrolling the bottom screen like mad to see the detail of the page I want.
Forcing the user to click on a view of the page zoomed out to illegibility seems backwards to me. I could see the use of having the top screen at 100% zoom for entering data on a soft keyboard on the bottom screen, but, for the usual knocking around on the web, I very much want to be clicking on a 100% zoom display of the webpage.
This is all speculation based on a couple thumbnails that may be nothing more than mockups for the press release, but that's what this forum is for.
Also, can you give us a list of all the features of Opera for DS? Like favourites, searches, and whatnot.
Originally posted by stroker:

Maybe the touch screen is ideal for navigating around on the overview of the page? My guess is that the touch screen is a lot more comfortable than using the direction pad for navigation.

i think you have to read the tech specs of DS -> http://www.nintendo.com/techspecds
if you wish to enter in details about the two cpu working on the console...
ARM7 -> http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/families/ARM7Family.html
ARM9 -> http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/families/ARM9Family.html
i think more things...
NDS is a game console, you'll use it for gaming. For this reason Nintendo doesn't want to include web-browser, im software, rss reader and much more...
The reasons:
When a player leave to gaming DS, he turn off the DS in order to save tha battery charge.
Due to the "PORTABLE" attribute, is most probable a user play DS outside the house and wan too.
I suggest...
FLASH,PDF,DOC -> the webmaster have to publish an html version of the content.
E-Mail -> read online.
RSS -> use online free feed-aggregator.
FLASH -> a website can't have FLASH as a fundament. Flash have to be the "cherry on the cake", not the cake!
JAVA* -> the only aware use of JAVA into pages, is the gaming and chat, that NDS already do too.
Javascript* / AJAX -> like flash plug-in, content have not to be accessible through Javascript/Ajax elements.
Stylus-Gestures -> I thing you have to wait. The ancient browsers hadn't that feature. But many time after it was implemented.
Widgets -> Useless too!
IRC-Client -> NDS have Pictochat. But considering the amount of data transferred by IRC protocol (ping, motd, ctcp, lists) i think it's harder too.
Google Local for mobile -> http://www.google.com/glm/
* Javascript IS NOT JAVA!
My questions:
Browser use "handheld" css media?
Browser use TAB browsing? If yes, how many tabs?
Browser has cut/copy/paste functions?
Browser for DS can be upgraded?
The cartridge can store data? It has sd/mmc slot writer/reader?
Is planned to be implemented the VOIP function? DS is similar to handset.
About this question... Voip or IM couldn't be useful in DS, cause off users turn off DS when not playing.
It would be possible to ring or sms through phone, then talk with Voip (not yet implemented) or Pictochat with DS.
You plan to sell the Nintendo DS.Lite used to make these demonstrations? If yes, i'm interested too!
Bye, Totò (Italy)
ps: Italian "minister for the innovation and technologies" Lucio STANCA emitted the accessible law for computer and data trasmissions, in order to be accessible to all users (included handicap) with any kind of browser (text,handheld,screen reader). The "Stanca Law" says "institutional site" must follow W3C Standard XHTML and must to be accessible to any kind of Browser, Phone Browser, Text reader, Screen reader...
When a site accomplish XHTML, every kind of browser can access them!
In the screen shots I notice a thin scroll bar along the right hand side of the touch screen, how many pixels wide is it? Does it ever show up on the top screen when in the stretch mode? Will it support alpha transparencies in PNG files? Will it accept cookies? Will it have full CSS2 support?
That's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure I'll come up with more later. Thanks!
I agree that ajax applications like Google Maps could truly be killer on something like this, but it IS a pretty limited system to work with in that regard.
Anyway- both companies definately have a sale coming from me and I can't wait! Congratulations!
When I first heard about this, I was really gung-ho. I've been waiting for a DS web browser for a while as it makes more sense on the DS than the PSP. But I'm already feeling a bit disappointed. I'm going to have to watch this carefully to see what it can and cannot do now. I may end up passing on it come the final version.

A while back Jeni O'Connor approached me to contribute a layout for an article she was writing for Scrapbook Creations magazine (issue 81) on fathers. Phil, Jamie and I had just been to the Fringe Festival in Adelaide, where the boys had played on the dodgems and then had a great afternoon at the playground. I had snapped a few shots of them interacting, and this is what I ended up creating on my page:
Journaling: You seek out your Dad more and more these days. You wait impatiently for the weekend, when you know he will be home to play with you. Without a doubt, he is your hero.
I love the look on Jamie's face as he leans in to Phil, both enjoying and a little scared of the ride. It's priceless.
This layout was the start of my ongoing love affair with paint and splattering - I love how it messes up a layout a little bit, and makes it more suitable for a boy who is growing up.
Thanks so much to Jeni for her invitation. I was quite chuffed. And this is one of my favourite pages I made this year :)
OK, I'm off to do the kindy drop off, then I have a date with my running machine. First I have to scrounge up some energy!

Ladies, aside from moving in with strangers there isn't anything I can do. I can't move back home with my parents and neither can he. I can't afford rent some where and still pay my portion of the bills. Living in the other room for the next six months or how ever long this is going to take just makes me miserable. I don't know what to do. Someone tell me what to do. Where do I go? Why do I have to go? That is my freaking house too. I love that house. I love MY FREAKING BEDROOM AND MY BED!! I LOVE HIM. MY DREAMS ARE SHATTERED HERE. HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND AND SEEMS LIKE HE DOESN'T CARE. I'm not giving it up every night but God Damnit I have needs too. My heart hurts and sometimes sleeping with him just makes me feel better in the moment. Plus I'm sick. I have the flu. I need rest. I'm not getting that in the guest room. I hate this whole situation but I don't have anywhere else to go. I'm not freaking leaving. I'm not the one who threw our life away. Let him move out or stay with someone. I'm not doing it. Fuck that. He's so stubborn. He's so hurtful and cold. He is a monster. If we did fix things I wonder if I'd ever be able to trust another thing he says. All these years he's made promises and I had so much love, hope and trust in our future together and this last year things have just nose dived into the abyss. It's horrible. So if I lay in his arms and just delude myself in the few hours I have with him a day for the next "x" amount of months then that's what I'm going to do. I know it's wrong. I know it's not smart but soon he'll be gone and these nights will be all I have left to keep me warm when I'm alone. I know something is going on with his friend. I know it's emotional infidelity. Don't think I don't know that. What do I do about that? What? Tell me? He listens to NOTHING that I say. Terrible thoughts go through my head on a regular basis. The therapist comes back today. We saw here twice and she supports my decision to leave if that's what I want. She wants me to come back. Here's the real shitter though, the longer I keep seeing her the less money I'll have to put away so I can move the fuck out. So I gotta deal with all of this on my own. As unhealthy as it is, it is what it is. I'm sorry to be upset but I feel so alone in this. Everyone "understands" everyone's "been there" everyone's "here if you need me". Is anyone offering a room up? NO!! Is anyone telling him what a complete ass he's being? NO!! They tell me that. Sure. They tell me he's making a big mistake. Sure but no one tells him. Because he's "the man" and if he doesn't have his shit together then they are all screwed. No one will ever stand up to him. His momma is happy as a pig in shit to be having her baby boy all back to herself. She didn't shed one tear over this in front of me. She just says, "Well, duh you guys gotta do what makes you happy." Well, non of this makes me happy. NOTHING!! Well that's just great. She can have him. This is just going down hill. I gotta go.

Ditto what GT said. It's better to move in with your parents than to stay in that poisonous atmosphere. If he can't afford the place on his own you can still pay some of the mortgage for a while without living there. Frankly, I think your sanity and the health of your spirit is worth the money you both might lose on the house. But that's just me.
And I don't buy for a minute that nothing is going on with that other woman. Maybe they haven't actually done anything physical yet, but it sounds like they're guilty of emotional infidelity. I'm not saying that men and women can never be friends - they can - but in this case it sounds like you have good reason to be suspicious. Take it from someone who was guilty of doing the same thing: if he had nothing to hide, he wouldn't be hiding anything. If they were just friends, then you & her husband would be a part of more of their plans. I don't think you should talk to her. That won't accomplish anything. I feel sorry for her husband, though. Her behavior is doing nothing to save their marriage. I know that from experience, too. Here's the one big HUGE ENORMOUS lesson that Mr. P & that woman need to learn: you will never fix your primary relationship if you continue to seek solace from someone outside of that relationship. To fix a relationship, you have to work within the relationship. It's a basic, simple fact but a lot of people learn this the hard way. |

Feb 16 2009, 01:36 PM
so mr. pugs and i have desided to get back together. however, not really. it's very strange. basically, we have to live together for the time being. we own our house. i'd like to sell it but he thinks we'll both end up taking a loss because we owe more on it then we could sell it for with the market being the way it is right now. we also have a loan to pay off. the loan is in his name but we got it together during a rough financial time and i'd feel bad stiffing him with it. he's still thinking about whether or not he wants kids in his future. if it turns out he doesn't then that is a deal breaker for me. so basically, we are living together, as a couple until we can actually do something about the situation. i've moved back into the bedroom. we are having sex again. we just don't talk about "it". "it" being the "kid issue" as he likes to call it. i'm not wearing my engagement ring. i'm trying not to refer to him as my fiance. honestly nothing has changed and I mean NOTHING, ZERO, NADDA. Sometimes I look forward to the day that I can leave. Two weeks ago we had a huge fight. More so I screamed at him. I just told him how angry, hurt, frustrated and betrayed I feel. He tried to over yell me and I told him to shut the fuck up and listen to me. I told him he has ruined my life that I loved so much. I told him that he's just turned into a monster this past year. He was spending a lot of time with another woman, a married woman. This is a girl he went to high school with. They talk on the phone, they text. He went to her house one night while her husband was at work and they watched a movie. On his birthday she brought him a card and piece of cake. He's lied to me about texting her. He told me about the card and then two weeks later told me about the special piece of chocolate cake she got for him. I asked him flat out the night of the big fight if he's been cheating on me all this time with her. He promised me not, that they are just friends. I asked if he would distance himself from her while we are going through all this crap. I think he has tried. I see him texting her less and he hasn't mentioned talking to her. He says he lies to me about her because he knows I'll freak out if he told me he talks, texts or sees her. I know she's not happy in her marriage and I just don't see her helping the situation. Sometimes I tihnk about writing her a myspace message asking her to try to see things from my point of view and to ask her to distance herself from him as well. He just seems so uncaring and cold. This is just everday, everyday for him. I'm the one who's going to walk out on "us". We just don't agree. So like I said, we are back together because that's easier then living as enemies until one or both of us can move on. It still hurts. It does. I'm just pretending it's not there. That's pretty much it.

DayGlowPink, I'm confused. In your post from January 26th, you said that the boy told you he is in love with another woman. Where is this other woman now? Does he still love her? Has he finally decided that he loves you? You deserve answers to all of these questions.
Has anyone heard from LuvMyPugs recently? She hasn't posted in a while & I'm concerned. |

dayglowpink, you deserve someone who loves you and is in love with you. You deserve to be with someone who wants you with his head and his heart. You deserve to be someone's #1 girl. You deserve to be really, genuinely happy, not just ok with the situation.
You do not deserve to be told that he will never love you like he loves his ex. You do not deserve him seeing and falling in love with other people. You do not deserve blaming your discomfort with this on your own insecurities. You do not deserve to be the 'safe' choice. These are not unreasonable, idealistic aims. These are the very minimum that you deserve. You deserve someone who thinks you're the best and treats you accordingly. I'm not saying he's a bad person, but he is not going to give you that and you won't be able to find it while you're still involved with him. I'm sorry to be blunt, but I've read your posts over the years and my heart goes out to you. You should not have to put up with this shit. Please, do not go back to him. -------------------- "Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence."

I hung out with ex-boy all day today, and he spent the night last night. We talked a lot today about our relationship and feelings for each other. Lately it seems like we might end up getting back together. I need to figure out if that's what I really want, and he does, too, but it's been nice to have things be a little more positive and hopeful at least for the time being. There is something very stable and satisfying and meaningful about our relationship even if it's not filled with fireworks and passion. I'm happy right now but still confused.

hung out w/mr.t last night--she got a pedicure, i got a ridiculous full set (that i luff, but y i won't be posting much for a while, lol...), then groceries. in between we had lunch. i was telling her about my upcoming series of paintings i'm sketching out, and not only did she get it (when other friends looked at me like i was nuts), but she confided something very personal too.... i kinda realized why i kept going back to her...she really, really gets me....

Hi Zoya, I have a quick question. When you were with this partner, did you ever find yourself wondering whether he was really an addict or whether you were overreacting? This is something I've definitely struggled with over the past year. I mean, it's pot, right? I wouldn't ever have thought you could be addicted to it, let alone that it could be destructive. I guess I just want to know, at what point do you decide somebody is an addict, rather than just an overzealous drug user? It's honestly pretty confusing. While there is debate over wether or not a person can be physically addicted to pot, the habit of pot and they way that it makes a person feel can be very addictive. -------------------- In times of destruction, create something.

in the beginning, i had no idea that he smoked pot every day. now, don't get me wrong - i have no problem with pot. but he smokes to a point that's affected his motivation to get a job or, well, do anything really. a couple of months into the relationship i realized he not only is a daily smoker, but he's also a bit of an online gamer (anywhere from 2-12 hours a day, in phases). he lived with me for the better part of year, but after many months of unemployment and little to no contribution, i felt as if i had no choice but to ask him to leave. when he's in a good mood, he's quite kind. every time he quits smoking for a few days though, that situation changes. he becomes quite verbally and emotionally abusive. anything can trigger him: one day it was that i had a hoarse voice from having a cold. he said it made me meek and timid and it was driving him crazy. he doesn't yell - he'll instead say things like "you're a fucking lunatic" if i cry. it gets worse, but i'd rather not go into it in public. Hi Baroque - I've taken certain things you wrote before, out and just quoted them above. Try substituting any drug for "pot" in what you wrote above. Imagine someone else wrote it when you read it. Sounds like they're writing about an addict, right? I tried to convince myself forever that my ex wasn't really an addict because he was going to work on time, paying his bills, etc. But then I had someone point out something similar to the above to me - and it pretty much became obvious. |

Also, and this is probably pretty selfish, I keep imagining him straightening out after we're done and treating the next girl really well. I think that would probably be heartbreaking, and I have a feeling I'd bump into them sooner or later. My ex was not an addict, but had (has) serious commitment issues. I too kept thinking that I would "fix" him, and the next girl would get everything that I had struggled with on a platter. I found out recently that he hadn't changed at all, not on a fundamental level, and that the girl he's currently with is going to go through/going through the same shit I did (and she really should know better, she was around for our entire relationship and break up). This doesn't make me feel vindicated - I don;t wish the emotional hell I went through on anyone - I wish I had fixed him, and now, I hope that I'm reading the situation wrong, and I did. |

baroque -
I've got experience with a partner with drug addiction. I'm not even going to sugar coat it here. you sound almost exactly like me for nearly 5 years, up until 4 years ago when I broke up with my ex, who developed a SERIOUS drug problem and some other addictions (not unlike your BF) Thing was, he was a highly functioning addict. He went to a job, paid his rent, all that stuff. But he was completely stuck. he had his own creative stuff going on - that went out the window, as well as other stuff in his personal life. He just showed up for life, he wasn't actually LIVING it. I should have gotten out 2 years in. Instead I hung around for really most of the same reasons you mention. I was not only not doing myself any good, but I wasn't doing him any good. He got to just coast and stay stuck. and in the meantime, I was on the edge all the time. Finally, I just realized that I could never help someone who didn't really want to be helped. That me "being there" for him, ultimately didn't matter to him - even though he said it did, it didn't - it made not one iota of difference in the way he conducted his life, and for all the times he said he was going to kick drugs, he never did and stuck with it. Funny you say about having thoughts that he'll get his shit together and treat the next person really well - my ex cleaned up after I left him. But I eventually realized that during the relationship, I stayed in it because I was living in the promise, not the reality of the situation. And the reality of the situation was that I was basically enabling him by staying there. You can't fix someone. especially not an addict. and the stuff you're saying about worrying about him, etc. That's coming from the mind of someone who is together. Who is not an addict. Addicts don't think like that. Addiction is an incredibly selfish disease. You will always come out last, unless THEY choose to clean up. They will suck you dry emotionally. Just as there is nothing you can or can't do that will make someone love you, there is nothing you can or can't do that will make an addict clean up. They have to decide on their own, and there's nothing you can do to make them do it. I know this sounds really harsh and cut and dried, but everyone I know who's ever been involved with an addict will say some version of the same thing. I'm glad you're taking care of yourself - getting yourself back by leaving him - early in the game. (not hanging in for 5 years like I did, s that it was really hard to have to pull away) I promise that even though you love him, in the long run, you will not regret this FOR YOU and your own personal growth. When I left my ex, I promised myself I was going to do everything I could to work on myself. For me, that included going to therapy to help me get ME back. I've come out the better person for it, and so can you if you commit to staying broken up with him and working on your own emotional health. (((baroque))) |

I'm going to agree with Kitten on this and add a few things.
The guy spends a lot of time online, sounds to me like he's got more than one addiction issue going on, just because gaming doesn't alter your mood per se, doesn't mean it isn't addicting. anyone who spends up to 12 hours online at a time? I'd also be curious to know about the other issue. Abuse manifests itself in different forms, but the bottom line is you don't deserve it. I know you care about it, but it appears he's leaching off of you, abusing you and being a downright asshole. You can't help someone who doesn't want the help. I would consider leaving him. -------------------- Hatred does not cease in this world by hating, but by not hating; this is an eternal truth. --- Buddah, The Dhammapada

Hello baroque. Welcome to Bust.
People do not become verbally abusive simply because they have rough upbringings. They become verbally abusive because they choose to deal with their rough upbringing by being mean to others. It sounds like you care a lot about this person but from what you've written it also sounds like he is only a great person when he takes a mood altering substance. Meaning, to me at least, he isn't really that person. He doesn't want help and he clearly does not want to be saved from being mean to you. Take some of that love that you have and apply it to yourself. He just isn't going to be the person that you want him to be until he sees that there is a problem. That may take years. You are not really helping anyone, especially not yourself, by staying in a situation where he can be an ass and you apologize for him. Take care of yourself. Let him grown up on his own or find someone who does not realize how much better she deserves. -------------------- In times of destruction, create something.

Cape Air
Mardi Gras, drag queens, flowery floats – this is the ultimate gay party event in this gay party town, attracting tens of thousands of revelers.
Eight exhilarating miles of bike trails crisscross the forest and undulating dunes of the Cape Cod National Seashore and lead to Herring Cove and Race Point Beaches. The best place to rent bicycles is at Ptown Bikes though you'll also find rental shops in the center of town on Commercial St.
Grab yourself a sidewalk table and order up a ginger-lime cosmo at this umbrella-shaded cafe hugging the pulsating center of Commercial St.
Free online computers for the price of an espresso.
Website that is oriented towards the gay community.
If you happen to be in town on Saturday morning, stop by the farmers market, where you can buy fish right off the boat and produce from the trucks of local farmers.
Provincetown is the perfect launch point for whale-watching, since it's the closest port to Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, a summer feeding ground for humpback whales. These awesome creatures with a flair for acrobatic breaching come surprisingly close to the boats, offering great photo ops.
Feeling adventurous? Wilma Bi-Plane Sightseeing Tours will take you ripping above Provincetown in a breezy 1920s vintage biplane – the oldest commercially operating aircraft in the USA. You'll see stunning views of P-town, the hulls of shipwrecks and the Outer Cape's curving shoreline.
Extending north from Provincetown, this is the major summer feeding ground for humpback whales, awesome creatures with a flair for acrobatically breaching out of the water. They come surprisingly close to the boats, offering great photo ops.
Even with all the art and history, the main draw to Provincetown is the Cape Cod National Seashore, which includes eight miles of exhilarating mountain-bike trails leading through sand dunes and coastal forest. Two spurs lead to the pounding surf at Race Point Beach and the calmer waters of Herring Cove. Rent bikes at Ptown Bikes .

This colorful, counter-service roadhouse with tables decorated by local artists serves traditional New England seafood alongside Portuguese dishes. You'll find a broad menu with everything from breakfast fare and panini sandwiches to Dijon steamed mussels and a raw bar.
Swimmers generally head over to the relatively calmer, though equally brisk, waters of Herring Cove Beach , also part of the National Seashore. The long sandy beach is popular with everyone. Nude (though illegal) sunbathers generally head to the south section of the beach; families usually break out the picnic baskets closer to the parking lot.
Eight exhilarating miles of paved bike trails crisscross the forest and undulating dunes of the Cape Cod National Seashore. Not only is it a fun outing in itself, but you can cool off with a refreshing swim, since the main 5.5-mile loop trail has spur trails leading to both Herring Cove and Race Point Beaches.
Climb to the top of the USA's tallest all-granite structure, 253ft high, for a sweeping view of town and the surrounding coast. The monument and its interesting museum commemorate the Mayflower Pilgrims, who landed in Provincetown in 1620 before moving on to Plymouth.
P-town's gay scene got its start here and it's still the leading bar in town. Includes an intimate 1st-floor pub with fireplace, as well as a dance club and cabaret through a separate entrance.
A favorite spot for a late-night bite and cruising after the clubs close.

After retiring from competitive skating in 1992, Kristi Yamaguchi moved into other arenas: She started the Always Dream Foundation, a nonprofit geared for kids, in 1996, and wrote two children's books, "Dream Big, Little Pig" and "It's a Big World, Little Pig."
Now, the figure skating champ is jumping--or doing a triple axel--into the fashion world, as she plays the role of owner and designer.
Yamaguchi will launch her clothing line, Tsu.ya, at upscale department store Lord & Taylor this fall. The activewear line will feature 18 pieces, including T-shirts, jackets and yoga pants.
Yamaguchi said the line was inspired by her athletic career and a desire to have clothes that were both comfortable and fashionable.
The Olympian infused her taste into the pieces, discussing her vision with the head designer. Yamaguchi says she always had a "feminine streak," so the pieces have details like ruffles, zippers and ruching.
Another motivation for starting the business was her foundation, which supports organizations that positively influence children. A portion of the sales from Tsu.ya will go to the Always Dream Foundation in order "to make a difference in children's education," she said.
Yamaguchi says she draws many parallels between athletics and entrepreneurship, like "being able to set goals and having the patience to put the work in ahead of time."
NEXT: Jaycie Phelps
Politicians have long justified the outsized expenses levied on cities by touting the financial benefit of hosting the Olympics. But it's more complicated than that.

Speed4Needs Fund Raiser
Iron Dog Participant Creates Speed4Needs to Raise Funds for Charities. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Alaska is one of four beneficiaries. ANCHORAGE, AK -- Anchorage businessman and first-time Iron Dog race participant John Witte is raising funds for four charities through Speed4Needs.org -- an online sponsorship program tied to Mr. Witte's inaugural run of the Iron Dog snow machine race. Before and during the race, individuals, businesses and corporations are encouraged to go to www.speed4needs.org to make a pledge in support of one of four charities included in the Speed4Needs effort. Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Alaska is the only Alaska-based nonprofit included as a beneficiary. "We are so grateful to be included in Mr. Witte's efforts to raise funds and awareness for nonprofit organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters of Alaska through his participation in the Iron Dog Race," says Taber Rehbaum, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Alaska. "As a result of John's generosity, and the gifts of those who sponsor him, the lives of Alaska's children will be changed for the better, forever." The Iron Dog is the world's longest and toughest snow machine race covering over 2,000 miles of remote terrain. The race begins at Big Lake on February 17, travels north to the midway point in Nome, and then heads south to the finish in downtown Fairbanks on February 25th. Tax deductible contributions in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Alaska can be made through the end of February by going to www.speed4needs.org and clicking on the BBBS logo. Gifts can also be made over the phone by calling Big Brothers Big Sisters at (907) 433-4600. The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Alaska is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported 1-to1 relationships that change their lives for the better, forever. BBSAK serves an annual average of 1500 children in 20 communities across Alaska. For more information or to volunteer, visit www.bbbsak.org.

Play - Twelve Angry Jurors
VPA brings you Twelve Angry Jurors. This tense drama depicts a jury forced by a single dissenting voice into extensive deliberation to decide the fate of a young man accused of fatally murdering his father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the bailiff as the jurors are escorted into a bleak room for their deliberation. It appears to eleven of them that it is an open-an-shut case, until one man begins questioning the "facts" and suggesting there may indeed be "reasonable doubt" that would require a "not guilty" verdict. The deliberations become very personal as these twelve individuals become acquainted with the personalities of their peers and the things that compel them to be less than objective in their assessment of the case and more than a little prejudice against the defendant. Testimonies are re-examined, alliances are formed, tempers become short, arguments become heated, opinions get changed and changed again, personal experiences are revealed—and it all combines in volatility seeming ready to explode the jury room. The tense scenes and sharp dialogue amongst these characters are elements of this electrifying drama that will keep the adrenalin flowing throughout the audience. This was originally written as a televised play by Reginal Rose in 1954 called Twelve Angry Men. The play was adapted for the stage in 1955 and has been performed on and off Broadway and in countless theaters. It was adapted for the silver screen in 1957, starring Henry Fonda, and was again produced as a film in 1990, starring Jack Lemmon and George C. Scott. VPA welcomes Michael Sheehan and a host of veteran and new actors to this production, directed by Wendy Golter. The show offers fantastic drama for high school aged youth and adults but would not be a good choice production for younger children. Twelve Angry Jurors performs February 10th through February 26th and is sponsored by the generous support of Denali Law Group and Lead Dog Enterprises. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays 8pm and Sundays at 2pm. Tickets cost $15 for youth/seniors and $17 for adults. For best seats, purchase tickets now by calling Valley Performing Arts at 373-0195 or online at www.valleyperformingarts.org. Get your tickets now for The Wizard of Oz playing March 23rd- April 29th.

Brunch The Food Market Crowds have been lining up ever since the Hampden restaurant opened last year to sample chef/co-owner Chad Gauss's comfort-food menu. But perhaps his biggest stroke of genius was to offer brunch three days a week, Friday through Sunday. You can go traditional with a variety of Benedicts, several omelets, or steak and eggs. There are also twists on the familiar, like Heath Bar pancakes, lobster home fries, and a morning cobb salad. 1017 W. 36th Street, 410-366-0606 .

At its zenith in the late 1990s, this mini-media empire included Jewish publications in six different cities and the local lifestyle magazine, Baltimore Style.
Pick a Peck of Pickles
Local chefs and food purveyors jump on the brining bandwagon.
Pickles are popping up all over the city as many area chefs and food purveyors turn out their own delicious versions. For Spike Gjerde of Woodberry Kitchen, pickling is a way of life. He pickles and preserves summer's produce to provide local ingredients year-round at his restaurant. He even pickles broccoli stems, which many other restaurants toss in the trash, he says.

They come up with Pop Couture, a line of vegan frozen ice treats made from primarily seasonal, organic ingredients in a variety of flavors, including strawberry-basil lemonade, pineapple habañero, cucumber lime, and avocado. "We were inspired by cocktails, desserts, and teas we've had," says Justin Daniel, who, like his business partner Pete Stine, continues to work as an attorney by day.

GeForce 306.23 WHQL also adds GPU and game-specific performance improvements. Along with the latest patch by its developer, Total War: Shogun 2 will see up to 60% performance improvement with GeForce GTX 680.

should I be scared to upgrade to this with my SLI 670s? Pixel Clock Rate is supposed to be butchered down to 330~ on SLI with these drivers.
Pixel clock on a 1080p 120Hz panel is under 300MHz. Why would NVIDIA suddenly alienate 3D Vision approved 1080p displays ? In reality it effects people who are overclocking 2560*1440 panels, which are limited to about 82Hz refresh on NVIDIA cards already.
Indeed. That is my issue, I want one of these new IPS's from overlord and they are 2560x1440 and I am afraid of getting one. Luckily Toasty's fix is still working on these so no worries
I am not sure what fix you are looking for? I am playing with one GTX 660ti and it seems to be working just fine. Am I missing something? Not picking a fight just not sure what I am missing here.
Whenever I see 560, I update in the hope some improvements carry over to my 460s. Both are Fermi and both are similar in design. But I never get around to testing to see if it is true.
I copy & paste from the Nvidia Drivers website: "Performance Boost – Increases performance for GeForce 400/500/600 Series GPUs in several PC games vs. GeForce 301.42 WHQL-certified drivers"
660 Ti's red-screen-of-death hi, i have some issues with my newly bought system. with MSi 660 Ti Power edition after installing windows like usual, also after testing some games, the screen of the monitor suddenly turned red. the whole screen. and it stucked like that endlessly. after rebooting, the same problem occured. i've tried uninstalling all the suspected programs that might have caused it but all was to of no avail. i know i'm a noob, therefore i wish to ask your advice. TQ in advance
OT but still Nvidia related... Nvidia Confirms Departure of Mobile-Chip Chief Interesting that the man particially responsable for so much growth "$" at Nvidia resigns to go somewhere else.
It had a problem in GW2 with Ambient Occlusion turned on in the nvcp, wherein some objects would go "transparent"..

Just picked up my 5`6 FST Spitfire yesterday, thing looks amazing, loving how wide the nose and tail are and just the overall outline and rocker profile of it.
Haven't had a chance to ride it, it is November on the East Coast. However, I will be heading out to San Diego at the start of the year. I thought about waiting till I made it to Cali before picking up my board, but then I found a sweet deal online.
Anyways, without having ridden the board all I can do is review the technical aspects of the board. So, let's start there. Originally I was torn between the SP or the Spitefire. In the end I'm satisfied with my decision. I had been told that the two boards would overlap to much in their wave range and performance characteristics but judging by how much wider the nose of the Spitfire is along with the decreased rocker the Spitfire has compared to the Hellfire I can just tell that It will glide through flat sections a lot easier than the HF. The board also has a wider tail than my 5`8 Hellfire so the waves will give me a little more push and Hopefully I can get into smaller/weaker surf with less effort.
The concave is a drastic change compared to the Hellfire, which has a massive double going from right under your chest all the way back to the tail allowing for easy rail to rail transitions and gives it that amazing feel in good waves, where as the Spirfire has a shallow single concave that runs throughout the whole board which will help to generate lift and allow for more contact with the actual waves which in turn gives you better planning over mushy sections of the waves.
And the last difference I noticed was the fin placement in comparison to the Hellfire, the back quad boxes are a little more towards the middle of the board and more detached from the rail, the Hellfire has the trailing quad boxes directly on the rail which works great but after hearing what kelly had to say about quads in the teahupoo contest im excited to try something a little more like what he described.
Damn, I'm excited just writing my review. Only two months away before I give my full review. I pulled the trigger a bit early because I found a pretty sweet deal. So, I'll end my technical review with that. This site gave me 10% off plus 5% cash back. If you find a board I'd love to read your review.
