Hello PRE8 users,
If you have an Nvidia-based graphics chipset, and you've updated to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later and you're still experiencing frequent crashes and freezes in Premiere Elements 8, then we'd like to hear from you in this thread. As mentioned in the announcement at the top of this forum, we believe most of these issues are caused by a problem with an Nvidia driver that was released after PRE8 was developed, and that the issues should be resolved by updating to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later. Notes from the announcement I mentioned above are copied below for your reference.
Best regards,
For Nvidia users, there is a driver update that will fix both of the following issues:
To resolve these issues, you should update your GPU (graphics card) driver to version 195.81 or higher, by following the steps below.
1. Identify which GPU driver you have by right clicking on the Desktop > Properties > Settings and in the Display field it will be displayed.
2. Go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and download driver for your GPU card. Its size varies from 80 to 120MB depending upon the GPU card model.
3. After the download is complete, run the driver install Installation. This should take less than 2 minutes.
There are no known issues that the latest driver update will cause.
This is an announcement. There is a separate discussion topic located here.
***If the update steps shown above do not upgrade your system to version 195.81 or higher, then you may need to download the driver directly. Use the link below only if the steps above do not update your driver to 195.81 or higher. The download page for Vista and Windows 7 is located here:
I am running Windows 7 64bit Premium edition and I tried the new NVidia drivers earlier in the week and begain to experience intermittent crashes of windows resulting in blue screen followed by a memory dump and automatic reboot. I've reverted to old drivers for now and hope that NVidia addresses this in the certified version of the driver which appear to be released about a month or so after the Beta.
Palindromedad, that sounds like you might have installed the incorrect driver version for your system. Are you sure it was the 64-bit version, and also the Windows 7 version? Were the blue screen crashes in PRE8 only, or in Windows in general?
The file I downloaded was 195.81_desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_english_beta.exe which appears to be the correct version for windows 7 64bit. My crashes were random and did not appear related to running Elements 8. I have not had another crash since I reverted to the prior approved version of the driver.
I upgraded to 195.81 driver, however playback of mpg vids is still jerkey in the preview window.
WCY, are you running at least a dual-core processor with a full load of RAM?
Also, MPEGs can have their own challenges that can be unrelated to any drivers -- depending on whether they are hi-def or not and depending on their source. So it's quite possible even updating the drivers will not help you unless you have the necessary hardware to support your video source.
I built the system primarily for photo and video editing. It is a Quad Core I7 960 Chip 12GB DDR3 Ram with 2 150 GB raptor HD's set at raid 0, 1 80GB SSD Boot drive and a 500 GB Data Storage Drive. Video card is a EVGA Gforce GTX 260. I don't think thereshould be any hardware issues. The OS is Win7 64bit. The video plays fine in WMM just not in PE. I did read about converting the file to AVI which PE seems to help. However it seems that a step like that should not be necessary especially when the vids in question were had no problem with an older version of PE.

WCY, although PE Marketing shows Mpeg as a supported format, from my own experience I have found Mpeg, especially large Mpeg files to present a challenge to PE (pick a version). The same holds true for VOB files, although PE also lists that as a supported format.
My recommendation is when and where ever possible, convert these files to DV-AVI and move on to hassle free Editing with PE.
Some Editors (like Sony Vegas) work as advertised with large Mpeg files, in my particuliar case, I've continued to have Mpeg issues with PE, thus my religon with DV-AVI.
If you resolve your issues and decide to stick with Mpeg and PE, then may the force be with you...
With most file formats, there is much beyond just the file extension, i.e. MPEG, AVI, MOV, WMV, etc.. Those formats are but "wrappers," and can contain all sorts of stuff. This ARTICLE will give a bit more background on what can be inside those wrappers.
With GOP formats/CODEC's, some conversion work will be required to allow for Frame-level editing. With a format/CODEC like the oft mentioned DV-AVI Type II's, that conversion (either internally, or externally) will not be required, as it will contain each discrete Frame. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more background on GOP formats/CODEC's. It's often the GOP structure, that causes issues with those files.
Good luck,
Tried what you advised, however, NVIDIA says I am using the latest driver which is 195.62 ! I am using Windows 7 and a Nvidia 9600 graphics card. PE 8 refuses to shut down cleanly. I have virtually given up with it and gone back to using PE 7

195.62 is the most recent certified (WHQL) Nvidia driver. The 195.81 driver is currently still Beta.
Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children
After upgrading to PE8 from PE7 because your customer rep told me PE7 was incompatible with Windows 7, I have been unable to maintain a full session on PE8. My Nvidia driver has been updated with 195.62 for 64-bit (this was the only update available for my GT230 card). I operate (or have attempt to) PE8 on an Intel Core i5 with 8gb RAM. PE8 continuously hangs up when I attempt event the simplest task. I'm not happy about spending an extra $99 for an upgrade that is obviously just as incompatible with Windows 7 as its predecessor. Is there a fix or suggestion that doesn't require more downloads or third party plug-ins?
We'd like you to try the beta 195.81 drivers from nvidia. There are
links at the top of this forum.
I downloaded & installed 195.81 Beta drivers. I can confirm that PE 8 now exits cleanly.. BUT it has now developed an even worse problem, namely, I cannot render any work without PE8 crashing, closing and telling me that a crash report has been generated and would I please submit it to Adobe Labs.
To run quickly through what I did.. I loaded an AVI file into PE 7 (home grown video of 22 mins). didn't do anything to it, just selected share, and selected BURN to DVD.. PE 7 did it without any problem.
Start PE 8. Load the same AVI file and selected share, burn to disc .. FIVE attempts, FIVE crashes during the encoding media phase. the quickest crash was 22% into encode .. the longest was 75% .. The important thing here is that it was 100% crash. It seems PE8 just does not want to play at all !
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium
Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 (2.66GHz)
I think its back to PE 7 !!!!
Thanks for all the help. I finaly had a few hours to spend on the problem, and I seem to have resolved the issue. I basically decided to start from scratch as there were so many changes made to the program trying to resolve all the issues that I thought they could be conflicting with each other. I removed the installed a fresh copy of the Nvida 195.81 driver and also uninstalled and reinstalled PE8. I then copied over the 6 replacement Dll's as Adobe recommends After testing and finding the random crashes & freezing had been corrected. I tried playing video back but found no improvment in the jerkeyness of the video in the priview pane. I then set PE8 to run in Windows XPSP2 compatability mode and the playback was suddenly smooth and clear. I hope that in the future Adobe will come out with a patch that will improve PE8's compatability with Win7 64Bit, but until then at least I can get started with some editing. Again thanks for all your help and suggestions.
I've had problems with Premiere Elements 8 not closing correctly (still running in background) and an easy propensity to crash. I tried upgrading to the lastest beta 195.81 driver from Nvidia and was still having problems with it freezing when dragging clips around so I'm now trying in addition disabling threaded optimization for Adobe premier elements.
This is the only program I've had an issue with on Win7 64-bit, I see about 20 32bit programs running right now with no problem.
My System -
Win 7 64-bit ultimate
i920 processor
12GB memory
For your suggestion above are you recommending both the beta driver and disabling threaded optimization? Also do you recommend disabling threaded optimization globally or just for elements? The screenshots shown above don't seem to match what the text is saying to do.
- Ed
Wycote, how do you get PE8 to run in XPSP2 compatibility mode? That sounds like a magic bullet for all kinds of things for those of us running Win7 64...
NVidia just released certified driver 196.21 for windows 7 64 bit. I loaded this driver and it does appear to resolve issue where windows was crashing randomly when I used the Beta driver. I tested PE8 briefly and PE8 does quit successfully now and I was able to use the stabilizer effect without crashing however I find if I scroll thru the video effects PE8 now hangs. I have to use the drop down list of effects to avoid scrolling in order to use any effects not displayed on first screen.
Tried the 196.21 Nvidia Driver and still get crashes about every 20 minutes, usually when dragging something to the timeline but also once when burning the project to DVD. It also once hung while saving (I turned "save project" to every three minutes !)
My recommendation is to give everyone on this message board a free upgrade to the professional version to give Adobe time to fix their software!
I've gotten blue screens (the windows crash kind) when I try writing the project to DVD, I've had the system for almost a year and the only time it's ever blue screened has been when doing something in Premiere. Crash happened once as I click button to burn project, once as it was done crunching and was ready to actually burn. It's happened twice but doesn't happen every time, it's hard to recreate. My first suspicion with a blue screen is hardware but it is unusual it's only in Premiere. I still get Premiere hanging occasionally with the new Nvidia driver but it doesn't seem to happen as often. I've burned quite a bit with my memorex DVD burner with no problems in the past.
I've ruled out bad memory (runs memory diagnostic fine)
Overheating CPU (CPU heatsink is fine and temps are low)
BIOS is set at default, no aggressive memory timings or overclocking.
My system:
12G ram
Win7 64bit
Nvidia 9500 GT w/ 196.21 driver
Chad - if you'd find it helpful I could send you the crashdump.
Could be some tie-in with the nVidia, but a BSOD is usually as sign of something more serious going on. Also, video editing and authoring are about as intensive a task, as one can ask of a computer, so it could well be that this intense work is pushing something over the edge. Usually, heat issues are suspect, but you say that you are monitoring the temps (everywhere?), so that can possibly ruled out.
Now, with system crashes, there is often a breadcrumb trail left behind. This ARTICLE will give you tips on looking for clues in that trail. You have to dig a bit, but often will find the culprit in some of the links in the error and warning messages. If not, then look down at the bottom of the article for "The Case of the Unexplained." It will give you many tips, and links to other utilities for troubleshooting.
Good luck, and hope that something helps. If you do find some clues, you might want to post another thread on what you find, so they can be addressed outside of the scope of Chad's nVidia thread.
Hi Bill, thanks for the reply. I'm of the same opinion in general about blue screens. This workstation has been taxed pretty hard however and has never acted the least bit unstable, which is what has me scratching my head. I've done day long linux compiles in virtual machines where all 8 (hyperthreaded) cpus would be essentially pegged or close to it with no problem, also has no problem doing 3d shooters on the graphics side. I really have two issues with premiere that may be unrelated, one is the blue screen and the other (more common) problem is the program freezes frequently, about every 20 mins or so.
I'm going to try the trial version of the pro version and see if THAT crashes, thanks for the link, useful troubleshooting info there.
Good luck with the troubleshooting. Please report if some of those "clues" do pan out.
I also think that you'll like PrPro, but then I am heavily biased, as I use it most of the time. Enjoy.
Hello, I located this post via Google, because I am experiencing the same issue and I have similar system specs. After looking at the supported hardware it seems that the beta driver does not support the GeForce 9600 GT, specifically. I see the driver sopports the 9600 GS and GSO cards, but not the GT. Has anyone had any luck with the 9600 GT? Thanks in advance.
*EDIT* Oops, I see now that Kermit has the same card as I do. But, I also see he has had some trouble. Could this be due to the fact that the 9600 GT is not supported by the beta driver? Thanks again.
I have installed Premiere Elements 8.0 from the download version, installed the Beta Driver from NVidia. The program is being used in the UK.
There is some quirky behaviour with the Splash Screen window with open/new projects opening the application window but not the project as required, but once the application is open I can choose the options from the menu.
The main problem I've got now is that there is no Export menu available from the File Menu, even for a simple one video option. The latest version of Quicktime has been re-installed as well.

The sticky message is now slightly misleading. It says correctly " version 195.81 or higher". The current WHQL version is 196.21 - so that would satisfy the 'or higher' tag. BUT the direct links in that message link only to the now outdated beta.
You should download 196.21 directly from nvidia - http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index5.aspx?lang=en-us.

It got shifted to the Share tab.

Thanks - there's definitely a UI issue in there then - I have a greyed out Export sub menu under the File menu still in present, which makes it look like the Export option isn't working.

Actually, there are still some functions for Export. IIRC, Titles can still be Exported via that Toolbar menu, File>Export. There might be other instances, as well, but the old Export for AV files is now all in the Share tab.
Hope that this helps,
PS - I just found out about the now limited use of Export on this forum recently - maybe from Neale, or Steve? Before, I was complaining that it was a leftover from previous versions. That is not correct, as its function has just been limited, as of PrE 8.
Thanks, that clears things up. Found that change a bit confusing!
Oh, you are not alone. I had uploaded some screen-caps of what the Export dialog screen looked like in PrE 4, when several people informed me that with PrE 8, one had ONLY the choice of Share. Oops! Guess who stopped uploading those old screen-caps, when a poster had PrE 8?
Actually, PrPro did the same thing, sort of. Back a version, one had Export>Movie, and Export>AME (Adobe Media Encoder), for many other formats. As of CS4, EVERYTHING now goes through AME. There is no more Export>Movie, for DV-AVI's.
Sometimes, it just takes time to get used to the new ways. If I post a reply on Export/Share, I still use both terms, in case a user with PrE 8 comes by, or a user of an older version comes by.
Good luck,
I am still having problems with the Nvidia Drivers. The error message says the driver stopped responding but has recovered but I lose all my data since the last save and Premiere Elements 8 never recovers. It usually happens when dragging files to the timeline. I tried the latest driver with no success as well as the 195.81 shown at the bottom of the forum. I am running Windows 7 Professional - 64 bit. I have the Intel Core i7-920 with 6GB of Ram.
Please help!
Scottszy - your problem sounds EXACTLY like my original problem. I also am Win7 64 bit, also saw the problem when dragging items to the timeline, also wasn't resolved by going to latest Nvidia drivers. Odd thing now is that my problem seems to be resolved and I have no idea what did it. Adobe support suggested I try a clean install by using a special microsoft tool for doing clean removals of software - it ended up corrupting my registry each time I tried it so I had to restore my registry. I then did a uninstall/reinstall of elements (which I had tried before to no effect). I then installed the trial version of CS4 (the big combined one) just to see if there were stability problems on that program as well. There weren't, and then when I went back to edit some things in elements I noticed (after a while) that it wasn't hanging any more. I've now uses elements quite a bit the last week with no stability problems at all. So my thinking is that either restoring the registry to a previous version (it wasn't very old, though, just like a day) somehow "fixed" something or maybe installing all the CS4 software somehow updated some faulty shared library? Neither theory makes sense, but about the only other thing I can think of is that aliens snuck in at night to fix it.
Good luck, Pr. elements is very nice when it is stable!
I just installed PRE8 on a Dell WinXP/SP3 system (with ample memory & speed). It crashes (disappears from the desktop) if I click on either NEW PROJECT or OPEN PROJECT.
I updated the NVIDIA driver to 196.21, but it is still doing the same thing.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Win XP/SP3
Win 7 64 Bit, nvidia 196.21
Constant crashes. This program is unusable. Who do I see about a refund?
As I remind people every week here -- you will not get a response to this thread. It is a survey only.
If you want a response on the user-to-user forum, please start a thread.
If you'd like to contact Adobe about any issue, including a refund, you need to click the Contact button at the top of htis page.
I am running an AMD Phenom 9550 Quad Core PC with 2.20 GHz & 2.00 GB of RAM, and Windows XP/SP3, Video Card GeForce 8600GT. I have upgraded to Nvidia driver 196.21, AND turned off the hardware acceleration. The program still crashes if I want to do something as complicated as using a motion template for a one-line title over a slide. I think there should be a way to make the program more stable. I have to save every 5 minutes with another name just to finish a project.
|AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 620 Processor
|Memory (RAM)
|NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT
|Gaming graphics
|2431 MB Total available graphics memory
|Primary hard disk
|231GB Free (466GB Total)
Up here I copied and posted my PC's spec's. Since upgrading to the new driver, my problems increased. I seem to experience more crashes than before. Happens randomly and I can not see a pattern. (I have noticed dragging clips from one area to another on the time line is no-no)

Business Process Management (BPM)
The Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages most state-owned land, water and natural resources, over 100 million acres, on behalf of the people of Alaska. The group's primary mission is to responsibly develop and use Alaska's natural resources for the maximum benefit of the public. The department includes seven divisions: Agriculture; Forestry; Geological and Geophysical Surveys; Mining, Land and Water; Oil and Gas; Parks and Outdoor Recreation; and Support Services.
Business need:
The State of Alaska had a backlog of permit applications from entities wanting to use state resources. It needed a solution that would enable it to streamline processes and eliminate the backlog.
The state engaged IBM to create an Agile business process management (BPM) environment using an IBM® Quick Win Pilot with IBM Blueworks Live™ and IBM Business Process Manager Advanced software.
The solution provides greater process visibility and consistency, helping speed the application process. Plus, the client can extend the platform to deliver even greater ROI.

Expediting requests to use state land
One of the largest divisions within the DNR, the Division of Mining, Land and Water is responsible for processing authorizations that allow individuals, corporations or nonprofit organizations to use state lands, tidelands, mining resources and water throughout the state. The division strives to ensure responsible resource management. For example, if an oil company wants to lease land to extract oil and gas, or a corporation wants to build a temporary road to a gold mine location, these groups must get the appropriate authorizations from the DNR to ensure the public interest is protected.
To obtain authorization, applicants submit a request and then the Division of Mining, Land and Water determines whether to allow the activity based on many criteria, such as how the activity will affect the adjoining properties, the neighbors, or current or future land development. It's advantageous for the state to process as many of these permit authorizations as possible because allowing such activity can have significant revenue and employment benefits for the state and its residents. In fact, approximately 90 percent of the state budget is derived from oil and gas revenue. In addition, these operations can open job opportunities, both direct and indirect, that benefit the state economy.
For 20 years, however, the Division of Mining, Land and Water had a backlog of permit authorizations, resulting in missed revenue and business opportunities. Facing a mandate from the state legislature to fix the problem within three years, the division sought to identify a solution that would enable it to streamline its processes and not only eliminate the backlog but also prevent it from recurring.
Creating an Agile business process management environment
The Division of Mining, Land and Water considered solutions from several vendors before choosing IBM. "After our evaluation, we all came to the same conclusion of what we liked, and the IBM system came up on top. Not just because of the software; it's the methodology that's also employed in the process when the system's built," says Scott McEwen, unified permit program coordinator, Division of Mining, Land and Water, DNR, State of Alaska. The division engaged IBM to help it create an Agile business process management (BPM) environment. The IBM Software Services for WebSphere® team helped the division deliver an IBM Quick Win Pilot to implement IBM Blueworks Live and IBM Business Process Manager Advanced software. A Quick Win Pilot is an accelerated approach designed to deliver a tangible solution to the business to facilitate broader adoption of the solution. The Software Services for WebSphere team followed the Quick Win Pilot with mentoring to help build BPM maturity within the DNR and to codevelop production releases.
Using the Blueworks Live offering, the DNR can map its processes using a collaborative approach that engages IT and the lines of business, bringing a sense of collaboration to two groups that can often be disconnected or even at odds. The department further promoted this sense of collaboration by using the Agile development methodology. "One of the things that we've learned through the Agile methodology is that it's very good about getting good communication across between the programmers with the business side," says Wyn Menefee, chief of operations, Division of Mining, Land and Water, DNR, State of Alaska. "It puts the business side pretty much in control of what gets done, and we do really like that."
The Division of Mining, Land and Water benefited from the IBM team's experience with Agile development. "When IBM came in, they obviously had worked with Agile, and they took us to the next level of working with Agile, which was much more robust," says Menefee. "We had never done things like ranking story points for user stories and things like that. So our folks were not schooled up on Agile to the extent that IBM was, so they've coached and mentored us."
An integrated BPM platform
In the past, the Division of Mining, Land and Water relied on Microsoft Visio diagrams to map processes and on paper applications to manage the permit authorization process. These manual, paper-based methods contributed to the authorization backlog. Once the new system is fully integrated for all authorizations, when the division receives an authorization request, it will scan it and enter it into an Oracle content management system. The act of entering the request will trigger a new business process instance in the Business Process Manager software so that staff members can begin processing the application. Employees will use the software's embedded coaching functionality, which was developed by the division and the IBM team, to direct staff to complete the adjudication consistently and appropriately. The division recently rolled out the first case type process, and it is processing applications in the system using an electronic case file.
The Business Process Manager software is also integrated with the division's Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) system, which simplifies the permit authorization approval process. This integration is essential to creating a positive user experience for the division's employees. "On the back side of things, we have all kinds of different software where we use everything from a mainframe for a system of records to Oracle or spatial data for [geographic information system (GIS)] applications," says McEwen. "And the fact that we can now seamlessly put all this in front of our users and have it all integrated on the back end is just wonderful."
Increasing visibility and consistency
In the past, because of manual and paper-based processes, division management found it nearly impossible to easily assess the overall permit authorization backlog. With no way to effectively report on the status of work in progress or work completed, authorization applications would get buried on an employee's desk, resulting in processing delays. With the BPM solution from IBM, managers can use dashboards to quickly determine how much work is outstanding, the status of all work in progress and the target due dates of work in the queue. The solution also enables the division to define service level agreements (SLAs) to different parts of the process and, more importantly, to meet those SLAs.
The new platform also helps the division establish greater process consistency. With three regional offices using manual and mostly undocumented processes, it was challenging to enforce consistency. An application that was approved by one office might be denied by another, which was confusing for applicants and a liability for the state. Now that the system guides employees through the process and coaches them on next steps, the division anticipates a significant increase in consistency as well as efficiency. "Inconsistencies do not help efficiency," says Menefee. "And so the solution will actually help us shave time in processing authorizations if we do get consistent. People know where they're going next and they can have information at their fingertips to move forward."
Building on the existing platform to generate greater ROI
By creating the BPM platform, the DNR gave itself the ability to roll out a solution to support other authorization processes, such as easements and leases, water rights and material sales. The department also plans to use the solution to create an online form that lets applicants fill out and submit authorization requests online. As the DNR continues to use and expand the solution, it expects to see a growing ROI. "The big selling point of working through this whole process for return on investment is if we can process permits in a more consistent, predictable, timely and efficient manner so that we can not only get out of the backlog but keep out of backlog, that's a good business environment," says Menefee. "That's good for the state."

Polling results released last week by the University of Michigan and Muhlenberg College (Pennsylvania) show that, compared to previous surveys, the largest majority of Americans in years now believe global warming is occurring. Sixty two percent of respondents to the December 2011 National Survey of American Public Opinion on Climate Change (NSAPOCC) agreed there is "solid evidence†that Earth has been getting warmer over the past four decades—a marked increase from 55 percent just half a year earlier.
Notably, however, almost half of the 62 percent said their views were shaped by personal observations of temperature and weather phenomena. In narrative explanations of why they accept the reality of global warming, survey respondents indicated "winters just aren't as cold as they were in the past,†"temperatures last summer that were awful,†and "droughts this past summer,†among other observations.
Those results suggest that many Americans are basing their climate change attitudes on near-term personal experiences and observations rather than the stream of scientific evidence demonstrating climate change and warmer-than-normal global temperatures due to greenhouse gas emissions. While science tells us that there are indeed links between local weather and global climate, particular weather events and short-term variations are not reliable indicators of long-term climate trends, which must be measured across decades or longer. So while more and more Americans apparently agree with the scientific consensus on climate change, many seem to be doing so for the wrong reasons.
The risk in this, of course, is that in years when short-term weather cycles are cooler—as can be expected occasionally in the course of the current longer-term warming trend—these people will be more likely to change their minds. Indeed, the poll found that some Americans are already making this error. In the study, among those who said they are unconvinced that global warming is happening, the most commonly cited rationales were personal observations such as "winters were just as cold as when I was a kid,†or "our weather seems just as cold as in the past."
"People naturally form viewpoints and make decisions based on personal experience. It's one reason why understanding the local-scale impacts of climate change and how they differ from weather is so critical.†said Tom Armstrong, Director of the U.S. Global Change Research Program. "Communicating this information broadly is one of the most important ways we can ensure that people and communities are able to make informed, science-based decisions.â€
The NSAPOCC is planning a follow-up report to explore the connections between American climate change attitudes and policies.

Very nice garment This is my first control garment so I read all the reviews thoroughly. I wore the garment for the first time this weekend. During a busy bridal shower for my daughter, I wore the control garment under my dress (also purchased at Dress Barn) and had a comfortable and controlled fit all day long. It did not bunch up on my at all and I did not spend even one minute worrying about that issue that I had seen others comment on. It's well fitting, easy to get on/off and again just gave an overall very comfortable fit. January 26, 2014
I wish it was more fitted for me otherwise it worked out well the bra fit well but needed the slip to be more fitted January 11, 2014
This product fit perfectly. I love dress barn. They haven't failed me yet. This bra/slip was right on as far as size goes and did a wonderful job under a sweater dress. December 16, 2013
Good Quality If you are looking for a good quality shaper for a decent price, this is it. The only downside is the band at the bottom could have more hold and may ride up some. Overall good buy! December 8, 2013

Nineteen law firms have already committed to hiring one or more Boston public high school students through the BBA Summer Jobs Program. That's before the very enthusiastic BBA Summer Jobs Committee, co-chaired by Edward Notis-McConarty of Hemenway & Barnesand Jeffrey Mittleman of Holland and Knight, begins a recruitment drive to increase the number of participating firms. A partnership of the BBA, the Boston Private Industry Council, and the Boston Public Schools, the program provides a unique opportunity for underserved youth to earn money, learn about the legal profession through on-the-job experience, and help to increase diversity and inclusion in Boston's legal community. To hire a student, or get more information about the program, please contact Katie D'Angelo, Public Service Programs Coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Over the past 19 years, the BBA has introduced over 385 students from Boston's public high schools to the legal profession. When speaking with past employers, the BBA learned the students at law firms and law offices provide new energy and enthusiasm – in addition to help with tasks including data entry, internet research, and other administrative tasks. Here is what they have to say about the students: "The students are bright, highly motivated, hardworking and enthusiastic. All of them have specifically expressed an interest in pursuing careers in legal fields. Their talents have been valuable to many people in our firm, particularly our Library, Document Production Department, IT Department, Marketing Department and Records Department."
- Matthew V. P. McTygue, Edwards Wildman Palmer LLP "Having a student in the office adds a unique perspective to our daily activities. Students come to us with fresh minds, inquisitive about both the legal system and workplace."
- Amy Egan Cook, Donnelly, Conroy & Gelhaar LLP
"The students have improved the organization of the office and have grown to be relied upon for certain tasks, freeing the time of other employees for other tasks."
- Christina Miller, Suffolk County District Attorney's Office "The students are a huge help throughout the year. One of our Marketing Assistants came to us through the BBA program when she was in high school, and was hired full time when she graduated from college."
- Rachel Krasowski, Burns & Levinson LLP
This program is funded in part by the Austin Jones Fund and the M. Ellen Carpenter Fund of the Boston Bar Foundation.

Nobody had to tell me that I shouldn't trust him. I had already figured that out on my own but, it was probably the only thing I had going for me. I did buy into the heartfelt and, what I believed were heartfelt apologies. I still think they were at the time but, I know now that neither one of us could have foreseen how difficult life would be from here on out.
I do believe we are all wired differently. That is our uniqueness. As crazy as I know it is, I had very strong urges to be sexual with him even tho, I was repulsed by the knowledge of what he had done. I guess maybe we all have that ability to compartmentalize. It only proved to compound my anger because, yet again, I couldn't fathom why I felt that way. I truly felt my body was betraying me but, didn't analyze it. I did wait until our STD screenings were clear but, after that I followed my instincts and I guess only time will tell if that was a mistake or not. I wanted it for me. The only follow up screening that I was advised about was the 6 month HIV.
I know some of you know this stuff inside out and backwards and, I know that means you learned it out if necessity for survival. Nine months ago I had never even heard of this type of addiction so, when I was presented the diagnosis, it was much like hearing that it is a rare form of cancer. Even after immediately reading everything I could get my hands on in regards to SA, only now is the gravity of it beginning to sink in.
Besides the fact that access to a CSAT in our area being very limited, we simply can't afford it. Our business is on the verge of bankruptcy and we received notice last week that our only asset is now in foreclosure.
The only resource we have is our IC/MC as he takes our insurance. I've just finished reading "Hope & Freedom for Sexual Addicts and Their Partners". I must say I feel doomed to failure.
I'm like Outta....too many critical errors made in the first two months that I wish I could get a re-do on. I had the HB something awful...I've since come to not want to have sex at all as I have started therapy on myself. I haven't really talked to him about either so I think he is just feeling distance from me. My crazy thinking right after discovery was I wanted to take back what was mine...I wanted to show him just how stupid he was. Hindsight now, I would have never done that. At the time though, I was coping the best way I knew how to, so it is what it is.
We had a long discussion last night about religion and today I feel rather hopeless about the future of my marriage. Outta, I had that book on my list...hoping it would give me some hope! why do you now feel doomed for failure?
I haven't been intimate with H since DDay, but really we were rarely intimate anyway. My past has pretty much killed my sex drive. When I married H, sex was empty; he was clearly somewhere else. So I stopped wanting it, and he stopped asking for it. I think he felt safe with me because he could keep up his secret life with the justification that I didn't want to be with him anyway.
But of course that was just the surface of it. I had simply connected sex with pain because I had never had a good experience with it. Now things are so much worse. I really don't want it now. I'm not sure I ever will. If I can't, I keep think that that is what will kill our marriage in the end....that he deserves someone who isn't so broken.
He's broken too, but he's actually working on himself and making a lot of effort.
Me, not so much lately. I've stopped going to S-ANON. I find it makes me feel worse. I don't go to IC either. I'm in a strange nether world...floating in nothingness.
I am going through a tough phase. I've read a lot of my old posts and journal entries, and I am like the people in the movie theater yelling at the screen and throwing food. Don't go into the attic, moron! The call is coming from inside the house! So my SAWH is totally confused why I am so messed up and angry with him right now, LOL.
I was just in a bad place and don't even know what I need. Things can be going along pretty well when out of the blue, it seems my world turns upside down. I just needed to be comforted and reassured but, what I got last night was a glimpse of that man that I never want to see again. The selfish asshole that controlled my H for so many years. I hate that man.
our only asset is now in foreclosure.
Oh. Outta. I hope that isn't your home!
I don't think there's a wrong or right way to react when we find out.
I agree. I found out several years ago. There is SO much more information out now. When I first found out, thinking there were EAs, I was interested. But I was ALWAYS trying to have a normal sex life. I was discouraged at every turn, often viciously. I TRIED to be interested after I truly found out, but was also rejected, his guilt and shame caused him to continue to act like an asshole if I didn't react in JUST the way he expected me to. I am not interested in allowing him to hurt me like that again. He says that is okay, but like everything else, I take what he says with a grain of salt. He simply isn't trustworthy. He MEANS it when he says it, but his is too volatile and unreliable.
I'm always careful in choosing my words when I talk to H.
I can so relate. And yet, they don't have the same compunction. We haven't been back to MC or IC since our vacation where he acted like such an ass. I confronted him a bit about it, he apologized and wants to try again. I just don't want to deal with it. He has since tried to analyze why he acted that way, but F*CK!!! He isn't a 10 year old child! I shouldn't have to have this issue arise on a dream trip!
I hear you all.
[This message edited by hathnofury at 8:09 PM, October 29th (Tuesday)]
As to what brings those feelings on, it is either me tripping down memory lane from reading my old posts and journal entries, or tripping down memory lane from reading other stuff that triggers old memories, or sometimes just random triggers. It's catch 22 about reading my past writings. If I don't revisit them, I forget things that happened that I still need to address or follow up/through on. I also like to see how far I've come. But if I do revisit them, it can get ugly for a while.
I had a random trigger last night, first I've had in a long time. SAWH is much more affectionate now he's in real recovery, makes passes at me and such. While he's been affectionate for a while now, he hadn't been overtly flirty and what not until a month or so ago. Before he was more subtle and mindful of being respectful. Lots more gropey and stuff now.
Anyway, I had mentioned my body hurt and he asked if he could help. I said he could rub my shoulders or my feet, but I hadn't washed my feet and I knew he probably wouldn't because of that. Anyway, the conversation quickly went randy and he said something to the effect of if I *had* washed my feet he'd suck my toes.
So let me explain 1) I have a hangup about my feet, I don't do sexual things with my feet and 2) thus he and I have never done anything sexual with my feet ever in the 18 years we've been together. So I had a bit of a revulsion at the comment just because of my hangup. He noticed. Then he said, "What? You've never done that with..." and stopped cold wishing he could take it back. So now I have the worst kind of mind movies, dammit he's sucked hooker toes, ewwwww. I told him what he said was not respectful and I might throw up. He was immediately sorry as soon as he said it, moreso when I said that. Backpedaled, so sorry, I did it in college, blah blah. Just stop. It's done. I'm totally grossed out and triggered out now. He's totally ashamed and feeling two inches tall.
Eventually I work through it, he works through it, and he gives me the best back rub. What I like about being this far out from discovery, and having done the work on myself, is we can do that now. 2 years ago that would have ruined the whole night and maybe a few days, and I'd probably have to tell my CSAT, my group, and you guys before I could work through it. Even year ago he wouldn't have been able to work either, he'd just withdraw into a puddle of shame.
But of course I still have my low streaks and moments like these. I just have more tools in my tool belt to deal with them and process them faster. Some of it is having the right support to teach me the tools, some of it is just the gift of time and perspective.
During this time my gut has been increasingly screaming at me. I was really trying hard to not focus on him, work on myself, not get into investigative mode...but this morning I tried to talk to him about my gut feelings and got his "nice, insightful self" which after time I see is a manipulation (which I hate to say). I wasn't satisfied and just couldn't help the urge to go "investigative" on his phone.
The only thing that I found was a text from yahoo that was a "verification code". He had deleted it, I found it using a software program. First off, if he has a yahoo email account I had no idea of it and second he's not suppose to be deleting strange emails. This code came on Thursday when he was in a different city.
I don't have any hard evidence yet. We have another MC apt on Thursday with the CSAT - she is also the counselor for his men's group. I know I need to bring it up, but am wondering if I need to tred carefully? Not sure how to approach it.
We're really at the beginning. No boundary agreement, not formal disclosure. I am so much stronger emotionally, but the kids and financial situation are still the same. I still can't just pack up and leave.
Even though I haven't been here in several months, I think of all of you frequently. It's such a strange, sad "club" that we all belong to, and I think that only people who have walked this path can truly understand what we're all going through.
When I first discovered that my H was a sex addict and had been carrying on a double life for many, many years, I completely detached from him. He had always been a selfish,uncommunicative, distant husband and I always told my friends that when the kids were gone "all bets were off."
However, the only thing he ever did right, was that he was a very involved father. He coached their sports teams, went to all of their school events, played Scrabble with them at night, and generally spent lots of time with them. I decided that I would keep quiet and fake it in front of the kids, because I didn't want to put the kids through a divorce.
The big discovery happend 14 months ago. He immediately began counseling and going to an SAA group regularily. He and I are just "friends" and he is supportive, communicative, not sarcastic (which was a HUGE problem before), giving, complimentary (never said anything nice to me before), and talks freely about his feelings and what happened to him as a young boy that he feels caused him to become the jerk he was for most of his life.
My dad passed away last month after 4 weeks in the hospital, and he was the nicest, most supportive person I could have asked for. I never asked or expected anything from him -- after all, this was the guy who turned off his phone and didn't come home when I started to miscarry a baby, the guy who left me alone to babysit on my birthday while he went out with his friends, the guy who left me home alone with a baby when I had the flu and had a 103 fever, etc. He went to the hospital two or three times a day and sat with my dad, held his hand, and talked to him. He left work every day and came home to cook dinner, so my mother and I would have food after spending a long day sitting with my dad.
He has been nothing but patient, nice, and supportive. I am dumbfounded. After 18 years of marriage to a distanct, sarcastic, man, this guy who looks just like him is the nicest, compassionate person I know.
Is this real? I don't know. I don't know how anyone can do such a 180 after years and years of being selfish. We are still just friends, which is a huge development, considering how toxic everything was in the beginning of this journey. We are both super-committed to our boys and our family and we have seven years before the last one goes away to college.
My friends think he's an a**hole, obviously. I felt so done with him for so long, that I never thought that I would be writing anything nice about him. I think that if I so much as entertained the thought of a reconciliation, they would hold an intervention. (I'm just kidding about the intervention part.)
In the meantime, it's been a long 14 months of no physical affection and I don't mean just sex, although that's a big part of it. It would be nice to just hold hands.
I'm really confused. Any insight would be appreciated.
Peace to you all.

In the past 2 months I have seen some very positive changes in him. However, he still has a LONG way to go. My H is early 40s and his selfishness, entitlement, sarcasm and lying has been a way of life for him since he was a young kid. He masked a lot of this because he was intelligent and got good grades, so he was able to fool people. But it catches up to them at some point.
One way of looking at his recent behavior is that he was trying to make amends to your father about what he did. Do you think this is possible? I know my SAWH has mentioned that he wants to make amends to my family members.
I think people are capable of change. Whether or not it is sustainable is another question. They really have to rewire their brains, though. My H is reading a book on how the brain is capable of rewiring.
Also, another component of this is that you have to be willing to forgive. Do you think you can do that? Have you been seeing a counselor or attending a support group?
Hang in there!
UCLA - your H sounds amazing. See if he continues with the positive actions and keep focusing on yourself.
I have big news - H and I had a talk tonight and he says that he doesn't see how him going to IC/group therapy is going to make a difference in our M. (Don't ya know, it's our MARRIAGE that's the problem, not him). Anyway, he is really pushing to go back to MC and I refused until he goes to IC. I said does this mean we're getting D'd? He said yes and I said I would call my L tomorrow. I am relieved.
Businesses have cameras for safety. Not because they are paranoid and codependent. But because there is sometimes a need to know what goes on in your world.
Actually I do not check up and a lot of times I think Im foolish for not doing that. I have always believed (prior to this too) that you only really know a person by what they do when nobody is looking.
Maybe my thoughts sway from the crowds. I dont know.
Not sure if this was answered, I havent been able to fully catch up, but is it illegal to install a keylogger on your own computer? Why are the computers not communal property in the marriage, unless they are owned by husbands work/company?
Im glad you feel relieved. Sometimes it takes a little push to show us what we really needed to be done.
{{{{{Issaquah}}}}} To me, it sounds like he is slipping. Deleting email is a HUGE red flag. Listen to your gut. There is nothing wrong with snooping, IMHO. I think it's self-protection.
I *believe*, and someone can correct me if I am wrong, that the applicable laws in question are from the 80s that did not directly address today's technology, so a lot of it is left up to interpretation by the courts. But I think they follow the rule of wiretapping, if you have a reasonable expectation of privacy, like on your home landline, then it is illegal to record it without a warrant. By my interpretation that means VAR is illegal too.
However I *believe* you can install a program geared at monitoring your kids' computer/phone activity and not be charged for doing so. You wouldn't be able to use that as evidence in court tho, for sure. Somebody can clarify if they know the answer.
It is so stupid, because yes you should be able to record stuff in your own damn house. Especially computers and phones/accounts in your own damn name. I understand not being able to do it with someone else's stuff, or if you are separated, etc. It should not be admissable as evidence, but you should be able to do it. How is this any different than a Nannycam? You can do that as long as it isn't the bathroom or her personal bedroom is she lives on site. Stupid.
I am actually relieved that he refused all therapy, bc if he had agreed to go to therapy, I would have stayed a little longer in the off chance that it might help the kids somewhere down the line (like maybe if something someone said now clicked with him sometime in the future), but that would have meant spending the holidays with him, which I wasn't looking forward to. We aren't talking to each other except for finances and kids, we are sleeping in separate bedrooms, only see each other a few mins a day, then go to our separate bedrooms (one upstairs, one downstairs) at night. Not much of a M or a life.
The hardest part for me will be telling the kids. Then I heard people at my kids' school today talking about how well divorced people they know get along (they don't know we're getting D'd) and how "the kids get the house" meaning that the parents rotate in and out so the kids don't have to be shuttled from place to place made me want to I just felt unrealistic expectations and judgement, even though they weren't meaning to do this. That is something I have to work on.
I'm just rambling - sorry. I'm so tired and just want to figure out the money situation, want a quick D and to have this chapter of my life closed. It has been such a nightmare, as I know all of you know.
Hugs to all.
I do a lot of snooping but I really don't have time or energy to do as much as I would like I haven't checked phone records since DD, although I tell him to save all receipts, I haven't checked that either.
I was totally thrown off yesterday and a huge red flag came up :(
I know he watches porn, and I know it isn't healthy but I don't really mind it I don't know why, anyways, I asked him to show me the history of his porn and boom.. Guess what.. He said he watches it on a browser that doesn't save his history.. Ummm what??? I was SO PISSED.. I was so clear to him that no internet history was to be deleted but I guess I didn't mention hidden so he went ahead and hid it.. I lost so much more trust now (if there was any left) Because I thought he was done with that browser (he did all his acting out on it of course) and yet he has been using it all this time and who knows what else he does there.. I spoke about this to my CSAT and she said it's completely unacceptable and it's showing me he isn't in recovery at all. It makes me so mad that he did that, but I guess it just goes to show me how really I have no control whatsoever even if I do all the snooping.. It's just a waste of time
I'm still so mad at him for doing this. Now I will really never know! :( he doesn't have a CSAT yet, just a regular therapist, now because of this he needs to see a CSAT ASAP.. We are speaking to one tomorrow.
Numb- I'm glad you feel relieved, sometimes I wonder if I would feel that way would my H choose to not go to therapy etc. I'm happy for you and I hope everything works out for the better and brings you peace! It already sounds so good... sigh... peaceeeee

Growing up in New Orleans, Trombone Shorty was participating in brass band parades as a child, carrying his trombone even before his arms were long enough to reach all the positions on the slide. He was a bandleader by the age of six, and by his teens he was attracting attention for his musical virtuosity. 2010 was a breakout year for Trombone Shorty, with the release of his major label debut Backatown, which hit Billboard Magazine's Contemporary Jazz Chart at #1 and stayed there for nine consecutive weeks. The band stirs together old-school New Orleans jazz, funk, and soul, laced with hard-rock power chords and hip-hop beats, and they've added some tangy new ingredients on their 2011 album For True, as they keep pushing the envelope, exploring new musical territory.
