Really, StillGoing, you think she was a complete and total crazy bitch? IDK, I don't feel that quite raises to your description of the BW. Whilst some of it may have been inconsiderate of mpb1974, I don't feel the BW really did anything so horrible.
You're probably right and I just unloaded a bunch of hyperbole.
I think my reaction comes from some of the responses in this thread. The fact is that mpb was considerate of her 'process' and she was not considerate of his.
I don't think he needs to provide her any more consideration than he has, and that his resentment of her behavior is perfectly rational given the circumstances. I really think that telling him not to blame her, to be considerate of her feelings, that his level of hurt was less so than the BW because of the situation, or even that his post on the subject is upsetting because he's not thinking about her process are incomprehensible. I am annoyed at the attitude this thread has taken in general - I can understand why the BW would do what she did, sure. Leaving it at that and offering sympathy is where this should have gone.
Obviously though, I'm not above responding from my own emotions.
Though I really think the BW has a serious issue with reality if after dday she was dumping all the problems on his WW and pretending that her WH was the bees knees (whatever the fuck those are supposed to be, I hear they're awesome in some capacity) - though that will reap its own next round of problems for her.

I remembered something else this morning that BS said in one of her voicemails that stuck with me. She told WW that her and her husband were 'trying to forget' about her. I was trying to do the same with them, but here I was receiving calls at my home from her. It just made me feel like she was suggesting that her family and feelings were paramount, were what really mattered in the situation, and that my status was incidental, perhaps not unimportant but still subject to the wrath of the BS.
08/13/1999: met
09/11/1999: started dating
03/2003: moved in together
06/05/2009: engaged
08/21/2010: married
01/24/2013: found out (affair started 05/2009)
Me: BS
WW: pizzalover
He is the one that swore a vow of loyalty to her and he is the one that ultimately allowed a stranger into her life to develop a relationship with her and her kids. The BW has every right to feel however she wants about my WW, but the person accountable to her is her husband.
I will admit, that i haven't read all the responses, but I feel the same way.
I do agree and the our MC agreed that wFH should have answered AP's BS reasonable questions for a reasonable time. If I had any questions, I had the right to ask them to AP also. I did text her once. My thoughts and feeling was why and how could I believe anything she said in the first place.
wFH and AP had worked together for 10 or so years. We ALL became friends. We had freaking went on a "family" vacation with their family the month before DD. I considered AP and her BS two of my best friends.
HOWEVER, when her BS tried to manipulate me and use ME as a pawn, all bets were off.
Knowing that AP was early on (not sure now since I haven't responded to any text from her BS since September) just trying to sweep everything under the rug. The only way that her BS was dealing with it was through my fWH just pissed me off.
The threatening emails which included the AP's BS threatening to ruin my fWH's and the life of everyone he is close to (including mine) lives gives me a bunch of resentment.
I would like to mention something that hasn't been brought up yet though. You said after DDay, she was posting of FB about how amazing her H is. It's likely, hell even probable, that she was doing this to make herself feel better and as a little F-you to yoyr WW. Whether she knew your WW was able to see the posts, or assumed word would get back to her, she wanted your WW to know she hadn't "won". After all, what people post on FB rarely reflects their real life.
Trust is like paper. Once it's crumpled it can never be perfect again.
your comment about my displaced anger seems fundamentally contradictory if you are supporting the BS's actions. Would not the BS also be required to direct her anger towards her husband, whose actions, lack of compassion, and full out deceit
also caused such tremendous pain in the life of another?
No, my comment is not fundamentally contradictory. You are assuming that the other BS is limiting her anger to just your WW. I, on the other hand, never assumed that. I would imagine that her anger is directed at her WH and your WW.
The other BS is not displacing her anger. She has every right to be furious with your WW who action directly hurt her. She has every right to be angry with her WH, who slept with your wife. Clearly, her anger is directed at the people that directly hurt her.
As other have stated, people react differently to hurt, pain, trauma. She may not be behaving as you or I would/have however, she is not breaking the law.
If she ever contacts you and starts blaming you for the A then you would have reason to accuse her of having displaced anger.

The truth hurts, but I have never seen it cause the pain that lies do.
I would imagine that her anger is directed at her WH and your WW.
That doesn't align with the situation as described.
Based on the FB post it sounds like she's in deep denial about her biggest problem - the hairy 200 lb. thing that sleeps next to her each night. Hate the AP all you want, but the world is full of potential APs. We only have one spouse.
ETA: Agree with StillGoing's post on page 3. Well said.

'No, my comment is not fundamentally contradictory. You are assuming that the other BS is limiting her anger to just your WW. I, on the other hand, never assumed that. I would imagine that her anger is directed at her WH and your WW.'
- Yes, it is. I never assumed any such thing about BS's anger towards her WS. Based on your previous post, you established that my 'actual target' is the WW. That said, the same should apply to the BS. If that is the case, she should not be violating my privacy by leaving messages that I will be exposed to. She should be busy holding her WS accountable for something that he alone brought into her life.
'The other BS is not displacing her anger. She has every right to be furious with your WW who action directly hurt her.'
I agree, and have already said so in past posts. She does NOT have every right to trample me or my emotions in expressing her wrath for my WW by sending mail and leaving voicemails at my home.
'As other have stated, people react differently to hurt, pain, trauma. She may not be behaving as you or I would/have however, she is not breaking the law.'
That's hardly the point. She was insensitive to my privacy, for which I did not respond in kind.
'...the world is full of potential APs. We only have one spouse.'
Very well put. Our spouses are the ones that have taken a vow of loyalty. If they engage in such a thing as an A, the other person is merely a stranger in comparison.
[This message edited by mpb1974 at 2:39 PM, April 23rd (Wednesday)]
That doesn't align with the situation as described.
I agree, StillGoing. However, when assessing the situation I could not take what was posted on Facebook seriously. BS could very well have been using social media to paint a "fake" picture...(shocking, I know...does that REALLY happen?)
and when I read this:
I feel like the BS is the sympatheic figure with children who were inconceivably exposed to the A; my WW most likely appears as the heinously insecure home wrecker; the AP as the confused overwhelmed new parent, who was tempted by the idea of elicit sex while in a marriage otherwise devoid of it
It became apparent that mpb was clearly, and honestly stating how he feels vs factual information.
For me this did not warrant excluding the idea that the other BS could very well be venting at her WS. I am a bit biased as I cannot fathom a BS not venting at WS after such a betrayal...I guess it could happen.
Regardless of whether the other BS is directing anger at her WH or not. Her anger towards mpb's WW is not displaced anger...She is clearly directing anger at a person whose action directly hurt her.
'Regardless of whether the other BS is directing anger at her WH or not. Her anger towards mpb's WW is not displaced anger...She is clearly directing anger at a person whose action directly hurt her.'
BS's contacts directed at my home were actions that directly hurt me. So that said, my anger towards her is displaced? I am not blaming the BS for the A. I am upset with her for how she chose to respond to the A by subjecting me to her feedback. These are different concepts.
But to assume that she's hurting you simply by voicing her anger at your WW, well, don't accept that anger. Let your WW own it.
My husband slit the tires of the OM. OM then had to drive his BW's car to work for a few days. Did that impact his BW? - of course. So, who should his BW be angry with? Again, he invited the crazy into their lives...

Follow your intuition. Be smart, be brave. Tell the truth and dont take any shit.
What the poster is imagining occurs in the BW's household doesn't have to align with the situation. The original poster only saw what occurred toward his wife. He does not see the pain and anguish occurring in the BW's house. What the BW posted on facebook is likely no different than what many of us do. I never posted about the pain my husband put me through because I don't want the entire world to know what we've gone through. I don't post when my kids screw up either. I keep my facebook as positive as possible because I figure if my friends want to read negative stuff, they can pick up a newspaper. A few facebook posts and a comment that "We're trying to forget about you" does not a happy marriage make nor does it give any details about what they are doing to try to forget. It's entirely possible that what is going on in their household is absolutely as hellish as what is going on in most of our homes after Dday. Just because she didn't post "My husband is a lying, cheating bastard" on facebook doesn't mean that she hasn't called him that in the privacy of their home. Assuming that everything is hunky dory and that her vitriol is only directed at the WW of the OP is faulty logic given what we've all gone through and knowing how the majority of people operate on facebook. It's not only possible but likely that their marriage is in deep trouble and that the whole family is suffering. I'd posture that RidingHealing's hypothesis aligns perfectly with the situation given the majority of posts on this website alone. Very seldom is the public picture we present representative of the private life. Assuming that the BW is fine with her husband is what doesn't align with the situation.
What the poster is imagining occurs in the BW's household doesn't have to align with the situation. The original poster only saw what occurred toward his wife.
You're coming at that in reverse. He's basing his judgement on the available data, not on what he's imagining is going through her head - the rest of this thread is doing that.
I think she has a good reason to be pissed at your H also. Frankly, I think causing property damage like that crosses a line that wasn't crossed by the BW in this thread.
I agree that he invited the crazy in but that doesn't mean she has to suck it up and accept it.
Further, does that mean mpb gets the same considerations if he decides to go take a pellet rifle to their windows when they aren't home? Should the BW just accept that her WH invited that in?
People are responsible for their actions. We can still have sympathy for their emotional state while holding them accountable.
[This message edited by StillGoing at 3:01 PM, April 23rd (Wednesday)]
'But she is directing her anger at the OP's WW, not him. He's just caught in the crossfire, directly as her BS.'
That's irrelevant, I was still subjected to it. BS did send nasty texts to WW's cell directly, with which I don't necessarily disagree with. But the letter and voicemails on the landline were things that BS must have known I would be subjected to.
'My husband slit the tires of the OM. OM then had to drive his BW's car to work for a few days. Did that impact his BW? - of course. So, who should his BW be angry with?'
Your husband.

Your husband.
Your husband.
I guess we just disagree on this.
The A did not cause your husband to slash the APs tires. That is merely how he decided to express his rage. The fact that he indirectly subjected an innocent person to the effects of that rage, whether or not intentional, suggests that the other BS's state of pain was of less importance to him than exacting personal revenge. I can't get behind that concept.
Agree with this. And also with her husband and you. Maybe primarily my spouse and the AP, but the person who committed a crime against my marital property causing me hundreds of dollars in expenses (on top of all of the emotional pain I have to deal with) would also be near the top of my shit list.
If I am to be honest, I felt abandoned.
Maybe you are feeling abandoned as well as alone because of the stark differences in the way your friend, the BW, treated your WW and you and the way you treated them. I think what's missing in some of the posts is that you truly considered BW your friend. I think the 15 months has given you time to think about the way your friendship abruptly changed and in your mind became adversarial. Maybe you are thinking what a shame it all had to end this way.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm also thinking you are feeling somewhat betrayed by your friend, BW. This might not make sense to some people, but I can feel a simililarity in the same hurt feelings that I have felt, and perhaps others, who had a friend or friends who knew about the affair and never told me or exposed. I felt disrespected by them, I also felt abandoned by them, and I also felt betrayed. They never outwardly attacked me, but their inactions noneless hurt me. I know this is a TOTALLY different branch of infidelity, but I believe the feelings are similar. You feel like you lost a friend, your coupleship, on top of the devestation your WW's A created.
I chose never to speak to them or anyone about the A, most likely for some of the same reasons you chose not to. With that decision has come some feelings of isolation, but I am responsible for that choice. I did not approach OW, who was a friend, not a close one. I will never really know for sure if that was the best way or if it would have been better for my healing. I imagine you're mulling this over also.
Granted and rightly so, the BW's WH and family are number 1 and her actions must align with what she feels is best for her family. However, that does not invalidate your feelings as a result of her actions.
There's a lot of healing left for you, 15 months is really nothing in my mind. Of course your WW and you will be the main focus of your R, but there will be all the other people directly or indirectly involved that you will think of and try to make peace with yourself. No doubt, this is not a mole hill and the mountain is a steep one to climb. I hope the best for you and your WW.
*ETA: My post was late in coming, I read about the tires, pellet gun analogy, etc. I agree that we are all responsible for our actions, right or wrong. I can definitely understand the emotions involved, why someone would react a certain less than desirable way. I've been really angry too. However, what I did or do with that anger is on me.
[This message edited by mindbody at 3:23 PM, April 23rd (Wednesday)]
Mpb I get your point. But I can tell you the other BS's pain is the LAST thing on their mind..
Not in my case it wasn't. And, judging by how MOW's BH handled things I believe he was considering my feelings also. I think empathy for the OBS is very common.

They are among the largest and most fascinating creatures ever to have walked the Earth.
I'm talking about sauropods, the group of four legged dinosaurs that are almost instantly recognisable due to their long necks, each of which reaches out to a small head, and long tails.
Among the sauropods is the famous Diplodocus, and less well known, but even more remarkable species such as Argentinosaurus, which holds the record for being both the heaviest land animal ever, and the longest.
But what have these giants got to do with sex?
Sexual selection theory in evolution (and its disproof in particular instances) is about as racy as it gets around here....

(Fayetteville) (AP) – Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor and Republican Rep. Tom Cotton are venturing outside their parties' geographic bases, underscoring how much the rivals in Arkansas' Senate race are hunting for every vote in the final stretch of their nationally watched campaign.
Pryor touted the support of lifelong Republicans as he visited northwest Arkansas Thursday, the GOP's traditional home base in the state. Cotton toured northeast Arkansas, an area that up until recent elections had been a reliable section of support for Democrats.
By heading into each other's strongholds, Pryor and Cotton sought to pick up voters whose support for their opponent might be lukewarm. Republicans view the race as key to their efforts to win a majority in the Senate.
(Little Rock) (AP) – Former President Bill Clinton is making a last-minute push in Arkansas to keep the state's top offices in Democratic control.
The Arkansas Democratic Party announced Thursday that Clinton would make another tour of the state ahead of Tuesday's midterm elections. Sunday's events mark the third time Clinton has visited his home state in the past month in support of Democrats.
Rallies are planned in Texarkana, Fort Smith, Blytheville and West Memphis on Sunday.
Clinton has been drumming up support for U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor, who is locked in a tight and expensive fight for a third term against Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Cotton. Clinton also has raised money for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Mike Ross, who got his start in politics driving Clinton around the state during Clinton's 1982 campaign.
(St. Louis) (AP) – Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has announced a plan that aims to help 2,000 young people from low-income St. Louis-area families find summer jobs in 2015.
The Democratic governor announced the plan Thursday during a visit to Wellston.
The Missouri Office of Community Engagement will work with employers in an effort to connect young people with work experiences that can help them develop job skills for the future. The state office is partnering with workforce investment boards in the region.
The need for more job opportunities has been underscored in the unrest since the shooting death of Michael Brown on Aug. 9 in Ferguson, which is near Wellston. The shooting of the black 18-year-old by a white officer prompted scrutiny of social and economic disparities in the St. Louis region.
(Jefferson City) (AP) – A voter report-card mailer meant to grade Missouri residents on how often they vote compared to their neighbors has some in the state claiming it's an invasion of privacy.
Grow Missouri sent the mailers this week – days before the Nov. 4 election – as a way to encourage residents to vote in the state's first general election in nearly a quarter-century that doesn't feature a race for president, U.S. Senate or governor.
The conservative group is financed by investment firm founder Rex Sinquefield, the state's most prominent political donor.
"We're not advocating for a candidate or campaign," Grow Missouri Treasurer Aaron Willard said. "It's simply that we want people to be more involved and engaged."
The report cards assign voters letter grades based on participation and also list neighbors' scores. But some Missouri residents believe the mailer is an invasion of privacy.
The secretary of state's office had gotten about 16 calls and several emails Thursday with questions and concerns about the mailers, spokeswoman Laura Swinford said.
Lynn Carrington received an A, but the 59-year-old retiree from Fulton said it is one thing for someone to check public records for his voter participation. It's another, he said, to publish and share that information with his neighbors in central Missouri.
"Evidently it's not illegal, but it's really unethical," Carrington said. "It's like they're trying to humiliate people."
The group graded his neighbor, Bonnie Smith, with a C. She plans on voting, but said the mailer was "childish."
"If you want someone to vote you encourage them, you don't go shaming them," said Smith, a retired 57-year-old.
Similar efforts nationwide from both conservative and liberal groups also have met complaints.
Some Alaskans have complained to the state director of elections about emails and letters from the Alaska State Voter Program asking about their voting histories. And the liberal group Defend Oregon sent postcards comparing residents' voting history to their neighborhood average during the 2012 elections; neighbors' individual voting histories were not included.
Willard said the report cards were sent out to random groups of people to see how the message impacts participation. If it works, Willard said the group might use it in future elections.
(St. Louis) (AP) – Washington University researchers are finding new clues about a rare respiratory virus that caused a recent outbreak among children.
In August, cases of the virus, called enterovirus D68, started being reported in children living in Missouri and Illinois. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 47 states have reported illnesses from the virus, which can cause flu-like symptoms and respiratory problems.
Researchers at the university's Genome Institute have mapped the genetic code of virus samples taken from several children treated at the St. Louis Children's Hospital, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Their work will help efforts to develop better tests, treatments and potentially a vaccine for the virus.
"Knowing the whole genome sequence is a very important starting point for research," Dr. Gregory Storch said. "The next thing is that it could be helpful to us in designing better diagnostic tests, and further down the road, it can be very useful for people trying to develop new treatments."
Storch, a pediatrics professor, helped write a paper on their work in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.
The virus can be spread through coughing, sneezing and contact with contaminated surfaces. It primarily affects young children and most recover without lasting problems. Health officials say respiratory viruses are reported each summer and fall, but questions were raised over enterovirus D68 because it caused more serious, widespread illnesses.
More than 1,100 cases of enterovirus D68 have been confirmed in the United States since August. Eight children who tested positive for it have died.
"Something has changed about the virus or the way it fits into the community," Storch said. "It seems to be emerging as a cause of widespread respiratory disease. We don't know what the future holds, but we may see future outbreaks."
(Willow Springs) – The US Environmental Protection Agency says a local company hasn't done enough to protect a federally protected river from possible disastrous pollution.
Last week, the EPA announced that the Coastal Energy plant near Willow Springs has been the target of multiple inspections and inquiries from the state Department of Natural Resources and the EPA. The inspection reports from those groups claim that the company's spill prevention plans are inadequate, and that oil and other pollution spills could end up in the federally-protected Eleven Point River, which would damage the area ecosystem, the Eleven Point's tributaries, and area wells.
The company is also accused of discharging storm water into the Eleven Point River without inspecting the water for pollutants.
Instead of taking action against Coastal, however, the EPA and DNR have offered to work with the company, according to a letter from the EPA. That work will include a number of changes for the Coastal plant, including building a better spill containment system, creating better emergency plans, and stopping the discharge of storm water into the Eleven Point River.
If the goals are not met within 60 days, the EPA could refer the issue to the US Department of Justice or file a formal complaint.
In a statement this past Friday, Coastal said it has been cooperating with the EPA and will continue to do so until the issues have been resolved.
(Little Rock) (AP) – Trick-or-treating may get a little chilly in much of Arkansas this week as the coldest temperatures of the season settle in over the state.
The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for Benton, Carroll, Madison and Washington counties in northwest Arkansas beginning Friday night and ending Saturday morning.
Forecasters say a cold front will move through the area Thursday afternoon with significantly colder temperatures. The weather service says a hard freeze is likely in those areas with low temperatures falling into the mid-20s by early Saturday.
A freeze watch is in place for southern Missouri and northern Arkansas counties. Forecasters say those areas could see temperatures below freezing on Friday night and Saturday morning.
(Yellville) (AP) – Authorities in northern Arkansas say they will arrest a man who accidentally shot himself in the leg while trying to scare off coyotes.
Marion County Sheriff Roger Vickers says that the 44-year-old suspect is a convicted felon who can't legally possess a firearm. He says the department is seeking the arrest warrant.
Authorities say the man shot himself in the leg with a .45-caliber pistol on Sunday after he tripped. A female passerby found him along the highway on Monday morning.
The suspect is hospitalized at the Baxter Regional Medical Center. His condition is unclear.
(West Plains) – After becoming frustrated with political parties and the government as a whole, West Plains resident Terry Hampton has pushed forward and become the Independent Candidate in the race for Missouri's 8th Congressional District.
Ozark Radio News spoke with Hampton to learn where she stands on a number of issues and why she chose to run:
Hampton shared what her plan was to bring more jobs into the district, while keeping the ones that already exist:
Hampton goes on to share why she is opposed to our current Middle East policy:
Hampton added that while over the years the United States has spent trillions of dollars helping other counties, the financial state of our country has been ignored:
When it comes to the topic of education, Hampton applauds the area schools for doing has well as they have on such little funding:
Hampton then dove deeper into the topic of education and student loans saying that "a college education is not necessary for everyone":
She also talked about Common Core education standards, saying that she can see an educator's frustration:
Hampton also talked about her campaign, and the main issue she's running on:
Currently a touchy subject in the nation has been gun control and the Second Amendment. Hampton shared her thoughts:
She also gave us her thoughts on gay marriage:
Hampton concluded our interview by sharing with us why she believes current 8th District Representative Jason Smith should not be elected:
Independent candidate Terry Hampton has been a resident of Howell County her entire life. For more information on Hampton or her campaign you can visit her website www.hamptonforcongress.com, or visit her pages on Facebook or Twitter.
All this week, Ozark Radio News will bring you interviews with candidates for Missouri's 8th Congressional District.
Each of the five candidates will have a day to be spotlighted this week. As always, we believe the best way to vote is to be informed beforehand, and we hope you enjoy these interviews.
Candidate names were chosen at random for their particular day.
(Little Rock) (AP) – Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel is urging residents to beware of Ebola-related scammers.
McDaniel has issued a consumer alert and says an increasing number of organizations are offering "cures" and opportunities to donate to victims of the virus.
McDaniel says consumers should protect themselves against ill-intentioned organizations. He says it's disheartening that whenever there is any sort of tragedy, there are people who will exploit good-hearted, law-abiding citizens.
McDaniel says it's important that consumers are aware of the facts and the methods that scammers use to take advantage of them.
McDaniel says there is no FDA-approved vaccine for Ebola and that solicitors offering preventative medication are likely scammers. He says residents also need to make sure that charities claiming to aid families of Ebola patients or Ebola research are legitimate.

Tree Removal In Cincinnati OH Woods And Yards
When that old, loyal tree is finally ready to retire, it might be best to remove it manually before it falls out of control. Diseases that affect trees can lead to the end of a tree's long life, which may spread to other similar trees if left unchecked. Finding a company skilled in tree removal in Cincinnati OH will take the burden off of your hands and into their equipment's care.
When the storm seasons hit, trees can get damaged. It happens every season, whether the culprit is a random strike of lightning or heavy winds that finally bend the tree's burden the wrong way. A tree located close to a home may pose a significant threat if the limbs are not cut properly, but there may be so much of the tree pushing towards the danger zone that the entire tree needs to be removed completely.
Tree removal in Cincinnati OH can address difficult issues with large and small trees, answering the call for clearing trees on a newly purchased property or coming to the aid of a yard in the wake of a wild storm. If there's a tree that needs to be taken away, look for a tree removal specialist today.

Aim Climatic changes have strongly reshaped the Western Palaearctic biota throughout the Late Pleistocene. For animals, most studies so far have focused on species having low to moderate dispersal abilities, while strong dispersers have remained understudied, despite their abundance. With the aim of contributing to filling this gap, we here investigate the Late Pleistocene evolutionary history of one such species, the mosquito Aedes caspius.
Location Western Palaearctic.
Methods Sequences of the cytochrome c oxidase subunits I and II mitochondrial DNA genes were analysed in individuals from 16 sampling localities. The phylogeographic structure was investigated using phylogenetic network analysis, permutational contingency tests, spatial analysis of molecular variance, and correlation of genetic and geographic distances between populations. Historical demographic changes were investigated by analysing the mismatch distributions, the Bayesian skyline plot method and Fu's FS statistic.
Results We observed 67 haplotypes over all 112 individuals analysed (haplotype diversity = 0.971; nucleotide diversity = 0.0067). Despite the substantial genetic diversity, we found neither strong phylogenetic divergence among haplotypes (uncorrected mean sequence divergence 0.8%) nor any phylogeographic structure across the study area. The historical demographic analyses suggested that the species maintained a stable population size until roughly 25,000 years ago, when it underwent a sudden demographic expansion.
Main conclusions Our data suggest that during the last glacial stage, A. caspius did not undergo dramatic range fragmentation in separate glacial refugia. Rather, the species is likely to have persisted in largely interconnected populations throughout most of the region, in areas with suitable environmental conditions. This scenario adds to similar patterns emerging for other temperate regions of the world, suggesting that an important component of the evolutionary history of temperate biotas has hitherto been largely overlooked.

My first photo is of my living room! Please don't mind the blankets on each end of my sofa; they are used to keep the cat from confusing them as scratching posts.
Anyway, I hope to load at least one photo a day.

running into clear cold streams once shimmering, bright
painting Prussian blue the trees on the high chaparral.
Night edges the golden hour of Autumn days so bright
merging with the harvest moon, the solstice at midnight
melting in to sleepy hollows, pale and bloodless blue,
cajoling colonies of bats to bank and soar in flight.
Night caresses the winsome lovers silhouette.. adieu
as its hold is weakened toward a shade of baby-blue
A painter's pallet is the night of hues, shades of light
the sovereign signs of fantasy as darkness ensues.

The Combined Anti-Drug Task Force arrest a Houston woman on drug charges. Detectives say they stopped Percy Melton, 40 years old, for a traffic violation on I-10. Detectives say Melton began to act suspiciously during the traffic stop. Deputies say they asked Melton for permission to search the car and she refused. Deputies say after a K-9 "Mako" alerted to the smell of drugs coming from the car, a search was conducted and approximately 53 pounds of marijuana wrapped in cellophane and trash bags, with an estimated street value of over $120,000, was recovered from two duffel bags in the trunk of the car.
Melton was arrested and booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
Her bond is still pending.

Under the settings menu, there should be an option for recorded TV. I'm not sure if WMC automatically shares them, but you can add each pc to the library.
So pc1 has pc2's shared library, and pc2 has pc1's shared library.
|My System Specs

but that still wont get you the nice interface as in the xbox right?
|My System Specs

Windows 7 Pro x64 (1), Win7 Pro X64 / WinXP Pro x86 on (2)
However if the TV recording was "copy-freely" (aka "copy unprotected") then you CAN FREELY VIEW THAT RECORDING ON ANY MACHINE... using either Windows Media Center or Windows Media Player or any other 3rd-party program capable of playing MPEG-2 videos wrapped in WTV format (since WTV is the recorded TV wrapper used by Windows 7 WMC). Certainly using WMP on the second Windows 7 machine will work perfectly to view the copy-freely WTV recording made on the first Windows 7 machine.
But again... copy-protected WTV recordings CANNOT BE PLAYED ON ANY MACHINE OTHER THAN THE SAME Windows 7 PC THAT MADE THE RECORDING ORIGINALLY.
Alternatively, WMC can distribute copy-once or copy-freely content to a "WMC extender" via your LAN, and the WMC extender's HDMI output connects to the HDTV next to it, and you're now watching ANY type of recorded TV on ANY TV in your house, via "WMC extender". These extenders can be XBox devices, or Linksys DMA2100/DMA2200, and possibly some other rare varieties that used to be made, but they provide the ONLY way you can distribute copy-once content to be viewed on anything other than the original PC which made that copy protected recording.
Note that all OTA local network broadcasts recorded through a roof antenna feeding an OTA TV tuner card using WMC, is by definition "copy-freely". All OTA broadcasts are required by the FCC to NOT be marked "copy-once".
However content delivered through your cable provider can have some/most of its cable channel programs marked "copy-once", even if you consider it "basic cable" and not a premium movie channel. The local networks provided through your cable system are copy-freely, just as they would be if you received them OTA through a roof antenna. But other than those channels the cable provider can mark whatever else they want as copy-once.

What are homemade southern-style biscuits supposed to be like?
- RealMenJulienne Mar 12, 2010 12:42 AM
Hi all,
Growing up we were never much of a baking family and the only biscuits I ever ate were from fast food restaurants or out of a paper tube - which I enjoyed the hell out of. I wonder if some real southerners can educate me on what a proper biscuit is supposed to be like? I've had all the major FF chain versions and all the grocery store frozen varieties, and it's hard for me to see how a biscuit can be better than the one from Hardee's. Is a real southern-style biscuit anything like it? Sorry for the fast/convenience food comparisons, but I figure these are widely known examples for comparison with the real thing.
Not a southerner (though born in Georgia) but was in Virginia once, Williamsburg to be precise, and we went to a nearby restaurant famous for Virginia ham. I couldn't eat the ham, it was so salty, but the biscuits! They looked like nothing at all, sort of flat, rectangular--but the flakiest biscuits I have ever had!
re: kleine mocha
That had to have been the Old Chickahominy House. Those are baking powder biscuits with no leavening, that's why they're flat. They seem to be a lot more tender than buttermilk biscuits too. My in-laws are in Virginia Beach (I live in Richmond) and we go through Williamsburg on the way there--early, so I can get breakfast at OCH, heh heh.
Hardee's is a very good representation of a classic southern biscuit, as is Popeye's.
re: MandalayVA
Yes, I could not remember the name but that was it exactly!
re: MandalayVA
"Those are baking powder biscuits with no leavening"
In Mississippi we consider baking powder to be leavening.
re: SallyW
I think that in the *universe* -- at least THIS one -- we consider baking powder to be leavening. ;)
re: LauraGrace
Whew! I'm not alone. ;)
re: SallyW
I don't know, I don't do the baking thing. But I do know the biscuits are not leavened. :D
re: SallyW
ahh yeh; since when is baking powder NOT a leavening? And isn't the leavening the reason why most of us use baking powder?
Hardee's biscuits are not bad at all- they were originally a Southern company- they're certainly better than any canned grocery store biscuit I've ever had. They are more or less the real thing- not the absolute best version around, but quite good nonetheless. Bojangles does the best fast food biscuit for my money, though.
Here's a topic very dear to me! My mother made the best buttermilk biscuits I've ever had - since she has passed away, I doubt I'll ever have biscuits this good again. She cut them out with a round biscuit cutter about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. They baked up to be about 2 inches high. They are extremely soft, flaky and tender - they pull apart in your hands when you apply hardy any pressure at all. They are not hard like hockey pucks, which is what I find a lot.
I just did a search to see if I could find a good photo of what they look like and I found a pretty good one here: http://userealbutter.com/2009/01/04/f... Scroll down and look at the photo that is captioned: "Lots of Flakiness".
They should be served piping hot straight from the oven -- when you pull them apart, a puff of steam should hit you in the face. They are served with butter, unless you are going to be separating them into halves and pouring milk/cream-based white country gravy over. Pull the biscuit apart, put a pat of butter inside, then replace the top and wait a minute for it to melt before eating. They are never served with honey - and they don't contain sugar as an ingredient. Sigh.
Because of this memory, I cannot ABIDE refrigerator biscuits (Pillsbury, etc.) or biscuits I get in restaurants. Oh yeah, and my mom also left me with the same situation concerning her cornbread, but that is a different topic!
re: woodleyparkhound
I agree with all of the above, except for never served with honey. If you haven't had a fresh buttermilk biscuit spread with honey butter (just butter and honey mixed together), you haven't lived. And now I'm drooling.
re: thursday
I'm a cane syrup girl, myself. halved, buttered, and drizzled with cane syrup. perfect.
re: cheesemonger
I'm with ya, cheese!
re: woodleyparkhound
I can't add much to that.
re: Perilagu Khan
My mother made those Bisquick biscuits from the recipe on the box and they are the best I have ever had. They sound exactly like the ones woodleyparkhound describes. Tender and oh so good drenched in butter
My people are from the South if tha t makes a difference (Canton Province that is.)
re: Perilagu Khan
Lot's of people who have grandma's who made the best biscuits. A lot of the time they just used the recipe on the White Lily flour bag.
re: visciole
I don't use buttermilk in my biscuits, however lots of heavy cream and they're the best I've ever had.
re: Uncle Bob
Ah, so let me summarize here. It seems that Hardee's is a decent example of the type, but not close to being the best. The biscuit should not flake apart into seperable layers like the canned ones, but have a more crumby texture. And it should pull apart very easily.
What about the outside crust? Should it be crunchy or yielding?
re: RealMenJulienne
Crunchy? No. It should have a flake like a pie crust, but crunchy isn't a term I'd ever apply to a good biscuit. Sometimes restaurants brush the tops of the biscuits with butter so they get a little crisp, but I find that it makes the biscuits unappealingly greasy.
The problem with most commercial biscuits, even good examples like Hardees, is that they're made in a mixer. No utensil ever touches my biscuits until they're being cut (and even then, I use a glass like my mama did!) -- I use my fingers to rub the butter into the flour, so that the butter isn't in bits but in little flat flakes and discs. My biscuits are VERY flaky, much flakier now than when I used to use a pastry cutter to mix in the fat.
The biscuit recipe from Sylvia Woods in the Sylvia's Restaurant Cook Book is superb. It does contain a trace of sugar. The secret is to let the biscuits proof in a warm place for a while before placing in the oven.
My every-day biscuits contain lots of butter, cut into lightly salted flour with a high baking powder content. I use the Cuisinart to cut in the butter; then I add just enough milk all at once and stop the machine the moment the dough becomes cohesive. I spread the dough out and just hack into squares (that way I don't double-handle the excess). The key is to handle the dough as little as possible. Warning: biscuits with a high butter content brown far more quickly than lard or Crisco biscuits. Expect these to be quite dark (dark amber to brown) when they're ready. Some Crisco biscuits come out white/tan.
The proper biscuit should have a very slightly crispy exterior that yields to a light touch. The insides have an almost cake-like moistness when up to 1/2 hour out of the oven; then it goes downhill. Biscuits, indeed, should be eaten fresh out of the oven.
Canned refrigerator biscuits are a salty abomination. The texture is more like white bread -- garbage -- than cake-like, the way biscuits should be.
A creamy ham gravy elevates the biscuits to new heights. A biscuit that's been sprinkled with a little sugar before baking makes a great sop for red-eye gravy. My idea of heaven is a biscuit with homemade peach preserves; that's really Southern.
My mother rarely, if ever, made rolled biscuits, but her drop biscuits were fabulous. (Not a southerner, btw, a Canadian). She whisked up the dough, but rather than roll it out, and risk handling it more, she'd just drop big dollops on the cookie sheet. They were quite irregular in shape, but they were great either drenched in butter, or, even better, dipped into her beef stew. Very tender, but they held their shape.

Fort Snelling National Cemetery, Minneapolis, MN
Fort Snelling was a frontier fort established in 1819 to maintain peace on what was then the western frontier. The cemetery itself was established in 1870. According to Wikipedia, "in 1937, the citizens of St. Paul petitioned Congress to construct a National Cemetery in the area. Two years later, the new plot was dedicated and the burials from the original post cemetery were moved to it. In 1960, the Fort Snelling Air Force Station transferred 146 acres to the cemetery; another 177 acres were acquired in 1961, expanding the cemetery to its current size."
I took these photos in early December of 2012. Actually, a friend of mine, who was my adventure buddy at the time (during mortuary school), and I went and it turned out she had a relative buried there! Right after we caught the Hiawatha line to leave, it started snowing. Never got the chance to go back and take some pictures in the snow though.

Great work! Would you like us to start merging this into trunk? It would
need a couple minor changes (moved into a project in the solution or
combined with stdapi), but looks clean overall. The only two things that
jumped out from a quick review:
1) Targets x86 only (no x64 yet), should be an easy fix
2) Only runs on Ruby 1.9 (due to force_encoding calls)
I'm happy you like it.
By all means, please merge it into the source.
Yes, I used Ruby 1.9 features to convert between Ruby strings and wchar_t
But I'm sure you already solved this problem elsewhere in the framework ;-)

Yay! a lovely text post for my blog!
I didn't really care about Kristoff when I saw the movie, but I think the reasons why people hate him are silly. Here's why:
- Looks like Flynn Rider: Uh, what? Kristoff has a round face, longer hair, higher eyebrows, no facial hair, wider eyes…I could go on. They look nothing alike. Even…

According to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rappaport, the sympathy over head coach Gary Kubiak's health situation appears to have been only so far. According to Rappaport's report (found here), the Texans front office is 'a bit frustrated' with Kubiak and his staff in their performance. Among their complaints are their impact on the NFL Draft along with the opinion that the starting defense is being hung out to dry and wearing down by the end of the game as illustrated in their loss to the Detroit Lions.
This news is hardly surprising as Kubiak has not really established himself as a great head coach in Houston and they have suffered a nightmare season this year, falling far below expectations. In a year where they were expected to compete for the division title and potentially a Super Bowl, they find themselves racked with injuries, hoping that Case Keenum can be their quarterback of the future atop a 2-7 team, just one game ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Given the overwhelming trouble this team has suffered this year and the always less than enthusiastic embrace of Kubiak and his staff, it is no surprise at all that reports would surface trying to paint him in a bad light, so he can be the fall guy for their poor season.

Heyward two; outfielder set to make $13.3M
There is a chance Heyward could sign a similar deal within the next couple of years. But coming off an injury-tarnished season, the 24-year-old outfielder has reason to feel good about the fact that he avoided arbitration by agreeing to a two-year, $13.3 million deal that was announced Tuesday morning.
Heyward's deal includes award bonuses and performance bonuses that could escalate his 2015 salary.
"You never know what is going to happen with the business side of things," Heyward said. "You know what you want and you know you have to be prepared for the worst. I knew my agents were going to work with the Braves on something."
What's next?
This is a blog that I've known for a while I was going to write. I just didn't officially decide to write it until last night. I'm moving on in my life from playing baseball. Notice, I didn't say, I was done with baseball! How could anyone who loves the game ever "be done." And certainly I love the game! I love the way it taught me to fail and get over it. I love the way it helped me become the man I am today. I love the way it's provided for me and my family. There's so much to love about this game. I just don't love playing it anymore, and that's how I know it's time to not pursue a job playing this year.
When I was talking to my dad about this last night, he said, "you should have no regrets on the field or off of it." This was a great thing to hear, but really since 2011 I have not been as driven playing as I had before. And, to be totally honest, this has led to some regrets on the field. Sure I hustled when I'd put a ball in play, and I'd work out hard in the off season, but mentally, I was not as focused or as hungry as I had been earlier in my career. That is regrettable! I knew if I played this year, not only would I have regrets on the field, but I knew I'd have regrets off. See the pictures below I'm ready to be daddy. I'm ready to tuck my kids in bed most nights, and if I leave for work, I want Leslee and the kids to be able to be home, not in some rental house in Georgia, Pennsylvania, New Orleans, etc.

Celebrity Obituary - it had to follow all these guidelines and had to have an expert from my college ..
Marilyn Monroe, famous actress and celebrity icon died on August 5, 1962.
Monroe, 43, was found dead at her Brentwood home in Los Angeles, California. According to Dr. Thomas Noguchi, of the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office, Monroe's cause of death was reported as "acute barbiturate poisoning," from a "probable suicide."
The 1953 film Niagara launched Monroe to superstar status. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire, both premiering later that year, were even more successful.
Monroe was the quintessential female. She had a tiny girlie voice and a sweet and innocent almost modest demeanor yet was sexy, bold and suggestive. Both both men and women saw her as attractive, desirable and provocative. "Men wanted to hold her and women wanted to be her. Ironically, she was mostly a size 14 which by today's standards would not fit the ideal," Expert Kathleen ___________, a Communications Professor at ___________ and professor of the Pop Culture class said, "her image was linked to her curves. She was very shapely with a voluptuous bust, small waist and rounded, curving hips. She wore clothes that clung to her to accentuate the look. She was seen by many as the ultimate beautiful, sexy woman."
Norma Jeane Mortenson (later baptized as Norma Jeane Baker) was born on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles California. She never knew her father and her mother, Gladys, was later institutionalized. Monroe spent much of her childhood in foster care and in an orphanage. After 1937, she was bounced from one family members to another due to frequent sexual assault attempts against her by two different men she was staying with.
Monroe was faced again with foster care until the 16 year old wed her boyfriend Jimmy Dougherty on June 19, 1942. As a merchant marine he was sent overseas to work. Norma Jeane got a job at an airplane factory. When a photographer came to take pictures, he suggested she apply for a modeling position at the Blue Book model agency. By 1946, she was on 33 magazine covers and posing for top photographers.
The couple divorced in August 1946. Later that year, Norma Jeane signed her first movie contract as Marilyn Monroe with MGM. Her career didn't take off until the 1950s, after she had been dropped and resigned to contracts several times.
In 1953, Monroe reached superstar status starring in Niagara. Later that year Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How To Marry a Millionaire premiered and were both hits. In 1954, she married Yankee Joe DiMaggio. Their marriage lasted nine months. The following two years she found success in, There's No Business like Show Business and The Seven Year Itch. She wed playwright Arthur Miller at this time. In 1959, Monroe starred in the popular Some Like It Hot, which earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy.
Her last completed film, The Misfits, was a box office disappointment. By this time she was divorced from Miller, having become so depressed, she was dismissed from 1962's Something's Got to Give for missing so many days of filming. Right before her death rumors began circulating that she was involved with President John F. Kennedy and/or his brother Robert. Even suggesting they had something to do with her death yet nothing has ever been proven.
"Some were bothered after her death with the scandal of pills, presidents and rumors of promiscuity. It was a double standard for Monroe. She should be sexy and scintillating but she should not act freely as a sexual woman," Expert Kathleen _______ said in interview.
Marilyn Monroe is interred in a pink marble crypt at Corridor of Memories, #24 at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in West Los Angeles.

DPS principal conferred 'Ambassador of Peace' Award
D R Saini, the Principal of Delhi Public School (DPS), R K Puram was recently conferred with the prestigious 'Ambassador of Peace' Award on Jan 4, during the celebrations of the United Nations World Interfaith Harmony Week 2014.
During the UN conference on 'Interfaith Harmony for Peace Building and Good Governance', the Award was presented to Saini amidst an august audience comprising the Member of Parliament (MP) - Rajya Sabha, Karan Singh and the President of Universal Peace Federation (UPF)-International, Thomas G.Walsh.
The UPF is a global network of individuals and organizations dedicated to building a world of peace centered on universal, spiritual and moral values.
Launched in 2001, 'Ambassadors for Peace' is a diverse network of peace leaders. They come from all walks of life representing many races, religions, nationalities, and cultures, committed to promoting reconciliation, overcoming barriers, and encouraging cooperation beyond traditional boundaries of religion, race, ethnicity, and nationality.
UPF and its network of 'Ambassadors for Peace' celebrate World Interfaith Harmony Week each year, calling on people of faith for the well-being of communities and peace in the world.
For a school that promotes excellence in education and a global outlook, this award to Saini is a reflection of the school's constant endeavour to promote harmonious and holistic development of its students, UPF officials asserted.

It was a busy Sunday across the NBA, as a number of smaller deals were agreed upon, as well as some closure to some of the second tier free agents. Luol Deng reached a two-year, $20 million pact with the Miami Heat, while the Houston Rockets chose not to match Chandler Parsons' offer sheet with the Dallas Mavericks.
The Deng signing makes sense for the Heat, as they're trying to soften the blow of losing LeBron James. Obviously that's impossible to do, but a Deng-Dwayne Wade-Chris Bosh trio isn't all that bad, and the supporting cast will be decent enough to land the Heat a top-five or six seed in the East, provided Wade returns to reasonable health.
Pau Gasol's contract with Chicago is being reported as three-years and $22 million, while the Bulls also secured an agreement with European star Nikola Mirotic for three-years, $17 million. They have a stable of big men now, and a trade could be forthcoming, but it seems unlikely. An unfortunate turn of events for the Wolves, of course.
Elsewhere, the Heat also re-signed Chris Andersen, and Trevor Ariza headed to Houston in a sign-and-trade with the Washington Wizards that is an extension of the trade that sent Omer Asik from Houston to the New Orleans Pelicans. Now that Parsons, Ariza, and Deng are off the market, look for Lance Stephenson to look to land a large contract in very short order. Other role players signing minor deals include Caron Butler heading to Detroit and Richard Jefferson joining Parsons in Dallas.
Sunday brought zero news regarding the possibility of a Kevin Love trade, and the Cavaliers are apparently continuing to pretend that the Wolves would move Love without receiving Andrew Wiggins in return. And it's still a ridiculous stance.
The Wolves played in Las Vegas again last night in what was their second appearance in the Summer League. Pat will be posting a recap shortly, so stay tuned for his post.

If you're a fan of raw mate flavor, this is a drink that you'll definitely enjoy as Pacific Natural Foods has done a very nice job with this product. Packaged in a 16.9 ounce Tetra Pak that features a screw top cap, the product delivers an authentic tasting mate, complete with the earthy and grassy notes that you'd expect. They've sweetened it with a touch of evaporated cane juice, which adds just enough sweetness to satisfy the senses. On the exterior, the product fits with Pacific Natural Food's other food products (they make things like soup and almond milk) by using a similarly-styled design. From our point of view, that leaves this product competing with the likes of Ito En's Teas' Tea and other beverage aisle products like that. If Pacific Natural Foods wishes to compete with products found in the cooler (e.g. Sweet Leaf, Guayaki, and Honest Tea), we think that they need to do a lot more with the package of this product.

The Oklahoma City Thunder haven't even gotten through this season, and there are already a few people depicting their offseason.
And even if they manage to lift the NBA Championship trophy after the season concludes, they're still going to have one huge issue to fill this offseason. It's been an issue for quite some time, frankly. The Thunder just don't have a center that manages to impact the way you'd figure a prototypical center to impact the game.
They have a Kendick Perkins, who just shows up to the game.
Nevertheless, it's a position that needs to be addressed. And according to Eddie Sefko of The Dallas Morning News, that player could, or should be, none other than the New York Knicks' Tyson Chandler.
Hey, if you're over 6-10 and have a pulse, the Mavericks probably have some level of interest in you. I'd rate Chandler returning as a long shot, but sometimes long shots come in. Not sure if he'd be the same Tyson that helped win a title in 2011. But he's still not a fossil yet. And that contract — down to one year and $14.5 million — is a lot more palatable now. Of course, every other team knows that, too. If the Knicks are intent on remaking the roster, then somebody's goingto be pumped up to try to lure Chandler away. He'd be a perfect fit for somebody like, say, Oklahoma City, which traded for him years ago but rescinded the deal when Chandler's toe problems emerged. If there's no hard feelings, he'd be a monster with that team.
Chandler averaged 8.7 points and 9.6 rebounds per game this season, but is even more of a force as the Knicks' defensive anchor.

Import Icons is a softcore site that you might mistake for a museum. That's because its large collection of multicultural babes emulates art. From high-quality videos to huge photos, every bit of porn on this site is a masterpiece. However, don't be one of those annoying patrons who slowly lingers over each image, even though that's a pretty tempting proposition. It's just that the collection's so large, you might never get through it all if you do.
The settings are very stylized on ImportIcons and "tasteful" seems to be the theme. The models, who are mostly of Asian descent, are foreign "imports," or at least Americans with exotic parentage. You'll also notice that luscious Latinas are playing a larger and larger role on the site.
There isn't full nudity, but some of the chicks go topless and one even poses without panties. However, she successfully hides what one could only imagine is a pretty pink pussy behind a carefully turned thigh. Some babes give sultry, come-hither looks while others have a more playful approach, like Sabrina Jane who poses in a Hawaiian grass skirt and lei.
So far, there are 59 models and each comes with a handful of videos. You can't stream the 435 or so flicks and they're pretty short, but the Windows Media files are good in quality. There are also sets of photos for each pinup, giving you around 425 galleries. Check them out and you'll see lots of glorious high-res shots. The photo sets are large enough that a Zip option would have come in handy. At least you can turn on the hands-free slideshow and enjoy the sights.
As for extras, you don't get any bonus sites, although there are plenty of pics and videos from their events. It's neat to see how the cuties look in candid situations versus the posed and professionally shot pictorials. It's no shock that, either way, they're totally hot.
They were regularly adding fresh porn every weekday for a while, but looking at the calendar it seems that updates suddenly stopped about two weeks ago. Hopefully they start up again soon because it would be hard to get enough of these hotties, no matter how large the site already is.
The women are beautiful and are mostly professional models or actresses, so the pictures definitely have a sleek and seductive appeal in spite of the very reasonable membership fee. Considering its high-quality content, Import Icons is a softcore site that's a hardcore bargain.
