Comments about oreilly Learning AngularJS for .NET Developers:
Learning AngularJS for .NET DevelopersThis book is simply AMAZING, and while there are reviews that are taking stars off the rating because of personal preferences is too critical. Perhaps getting started with .NET and AngularJS from a PHP framework, this book simply had loads of viable information and solutions that would be usable in the "real world" and the fact that the Author opted for open source applications is a huge bonus, I've spent countless money on books and get irritated when more software is required, it's nice to see everything in this book is attainable at no cost. As for the examples in this book I had no issues running the samples, the book is clearly written and covers the most important aspects of getting started with .NET / AngularJS.Right away this book jumps right into AngularJS and get's up and running not only with the downloadable examples but actual live samples of the example online. Being a visual oriented learner it was so nice to have the diagrams through the book, and if you purchase the ebook they're in color! Much to my suprize a few good Security topics were discovered, and they were just as viable and practical as other frameworks I've used. The book is also very organized, file structure, and everything flowed from the first chapter to the last.I really loved the bonus on caching and optimizations, many times you'll get some starter books and they won't cover anything advanced or say this is "outside the scope of this book". This book didn't disappoint me at all. If you're an expert you'd probably not gain much from this book other then a quick reference guide which is still cool.Publisher Link: https://www.packtpub.com/web-development/learning-angularjs-net-developers?utm_source=Mention.com&utm_medium=Link&utm_campaign=Learning%20AngularJS%20for%20.NET%20Developers

Arsène Wenger has played down reports that Robin van Persie could return to action in early April.
The Dutch forward has been out since November after suffering ankle ligament damage during an international friendly against Italy.
Wenger predicted last week that Van Persie may be back in an Arsenal shirt by the end of April but only if his recovery goes to plan. However, in the interim the Dutch FA have tipped the 26-year-old for an earlier comeback.
At his pre-match press conference on Thursday, Wenger poured cold water on those optimistic claims.
"No, I would love to agree but I believe they [the Dutch FA] are a bit optimistic in that," said the manager.
"I haven't seen Robin because he is in Holland at the moment but [early April] looks to be a bit early."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

The NYT's Dowd-pocrisy
Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH
Per THE NYTPICKER:
"The Times does not allow writers to replicate language without attribution."
Those words appear in a NYT Editor's Note this morning, holding a freelance writer accountable for an "unwitting" lift from another writer's email in last Sunday's NYT Magazine cover story on whales.
But those words apply equally to NYT columnist Maureen Dowd, who replicated language from a friend's email -- which turned out to be plagiarized -- without attribution in her May 13 column. Yet her clear violation of that NYT policy has continued to go unaddressed by the NYT.
The NYT's double-standard in protecting Dowd on recent charges of plagiarism were never clearer than in this morning's Editor's Note -- putting freelance writer Charles Siebert out to dry for appropriating a handful of descriptive words from a source's email in his 7,498-word account of the way whales may be communicating with humans.
Siebert -- a successful author who has written several cover stories for the NYT Magazine, with particular emphasis on animals -- claims his mistake was "unwitting." Dowd called hers "inadvertent." Why does Dowd's explanation take her off the hook, while Siebert gets punished with an extensive editor's note?
Two months after lifting the contents on an entire email from a friend and putting it in her May 17 column -- learning later that the passage had been plagiarized from blogger Josh Marshall -- Dowd has never explained those events to readers, or had them addressed in any form other than a brief, benign next-day correction. Since then, Dowd and NYT officials have repeatedly ignored requests from The NYTPicker for comment on whether the paper conducted any internal investigation into Dowd's actions, to determine the truth of her flimsy account.

Ogden • Bountiful junior Pere Le Sueur gleamed when Braves coach Mike Maxwell told his forward that he drew the assignment of guarding one of the premier players in the state in Roy star Brekkott Chapman
"He was so excited when I told him to man-up on him and try and shut him down," Maxwell said.
Le Sueur, along with much of this year's Braves team, is close friends with Chapman. Many of the Braves are on the same club team as Chapman, so Le Sueur didn't back away when the challenge came his way to defend his club teammate.
Bountiful handcuffed the Royal junior, holding him to just two points and no field goals in Thursday's 50-44 Class 4A quarterfinal victory at the Dee Events Center. It was the 20th consecutive victory for the Braves, who move on to face Sky View in Friday's state semifinal.
"Pere is a guy that's willing to take a challenge, and he did an awesome job tonight," said junior Sam Merrill, who finished with 13 points.
As did Merrill, who, alongside sophomore forward Zac Seljaas, spearheaded a fourth-quarter comeback after surrendering the lead for the first time in the game with 6 minutes, 21 seconds left.
Merrill followed by drilling a jumper, then he found Seljaas for a wide-open layup and hit three free throws during a fourth quarter where the Braves outscored the Royals 14-9.
"That's the way Sam is," Maxwell said. "He just does what it takes."
Seljaas, who had a game-high 18 points, once again was a mismatch for the opposition. He mixed his inside-out game to perfection and ended each of the first two quarters with 3-point baskets and attacked the hoop.
"That sophomore doesn't know the big stage yet," said Maxwell, adding Seljaas doesn't even possess a driver's license yet. "He just plays."
Bountiful willed its way past fantastic performances by Roy seniors Jesse Wayment (16 points) and David Hadley (13 points), who paced the Royals offensively.
"You can't really expect a blowout here," Merrill said. "It's the quarterfinals everyone is going to bring it."
The same can be expected of the team looking to halt the Braves' win streak at 20 the Sky View Bobcats, headlined by Jalen Moore, Ty Nielsen and Matt Dewey.
Maxwell said the gameplan, much like it was for Roy and Chapman, is to turn loose Le Sueur on Moore.
"I think it's kind of a mirror image of what we just saw," the coach said.

Wailuku River State Park, Hawaii Island
Wailuku River State Park
- Name: Wailuku River State Park
- What: Home to Waianuenue (Rainbow Falls) and Boiling Pots
- Where: West of Downtown Hilo on Waianuene Avenue
If you're looking for a waterfall near Downtown Hilo, take a short drive west on Waianuene Avenue to Wailuku River State Park. Here you'll discover the easily accessible Waianuenue (Rainbow Falls), which has an 80-foot drop and is known for the rainbows that are formed in the surrounding mist.
Travel further upland along the Wailuku River and you'll find Peepee Falls (pronounced Peh-EH Peh-EH), which feeds the famous pools known as Boiling Pots. These terraced pools bubble as if they were boiling, connected by a series of cascading water flows alongside hexagonal columns formed by the slow cooling of basalt lava. As beautiful as Waianuene (Rainbow Falls) and Boiling Pots are, note that there are no lifeguards here and these areas are not safe for swimming. Instead, take a moment and simply enjoy the natural beauty found in Wailuku River State Park.

Thread: Bills D, False 'Hut'?
Bills D, False 'Hut'?
From the Sun, bottom of the Pittman article.
False 'hut'
"Coach Brian Billick accused a Buffalo Bills defensive player of barking out the snap count and causing the Ravens to false start on three occasions in the team's 19-7 victory Sunday.
After quarterback Steve McNair called his first "hut" at the line of scrimmage, it is believed that Buffalo defensive tackle Larry Tripplett followed with a "hut" of his own and led the Ravens to shift before the ball was snapped, resulting in the false start penalties.
"You can't have a defensive lineman call out a snap count. That's illegal, and that's what they were doing. They did it three times," Billick said. "We will bring it to the officials' attention, but there's nothing you can do about it if they're not going to hear it." "
WTF, I have never even heard of any Defense doing this kind of crap. If it's true, Larry Tripplett should be fined, and so should the Bills organization."Well, I'd rather live with the hound dogs, for the rest of my natural-born life." Swamp Music by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Re: Bills D, False 'Hut'?
I heard Billick mentioning that during his Tuesday show on WBAL. He was not happy about it at all. The reason it came up was somebody asked him if he was worried about the several false starts that occured during the Bills game. He said no because the Bills were illegally calling out the snap causing the players to jump.
Re: Bills D, False 'Hut'?
It is something that should be penalised and for the refs to miss it three times (if it happened) then they're either deaf or I should imagine it's pretty tough to separate a hut from Larry Tripplett from a hut from Steve McNair beneath the din being belted out by 70,000 Raven maniacs at the purple palace.
Also this isn't that uncommon, this sort of chatter does happen at the LOS from time to time, I've heard The Goose mention that in many games he used to call 'hot' to mimic the QB's 'hut' and try and draw offsides at times, fining isn't necessary but it does need the officiating crew to pick it up.
Re: Bills D, False 'Hut'?they're either deaf or I should imagine it's pretty tough to separate a hut from Larry Tripplett from a hut from Steve McNair beneath the din being belted out by 70,000 Raven maniacs at the purple palace.
I just can't really see a DT getting away with that enough to cause 3 false starts. Maybe the refs are 1/2 deaf -- how would I know?
I've heard The Goose mention that in many games he used to call 'hot' to mimic the QB's 'hut' and try and draw offsides at times
Regardless of the reason, I sure as hell don't want to see near that many procedure penalties in the playoffs. Those drive-killers make us all crazy!"Well, I'd rather live with the hound dogs, for the rest of my natural-born life." Swamp Music by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Re: Bills D, False 'Hut'?
I heard Billick say this at his PC yesterday & his show last night. Yes, the stadium was quiet when we had the ball, & I was shocked at the # of false starts we had at home. Billick should address with the league. This still doesn't excuse our WR's who were called for these penalties, all they're supposed to do is watch the ball.
I have never heard Goose say that before, but knowing him, I believe it.

Re: Bills D, False 'Hut'?
I definitely remember the interview with Goose - saying how he calls a shift called 'hot' and 'hot hot' - said it was worth a try a couple of times a game.
Maybe it was for UK television and not shown in the US?
Re: Bills D, False 'Hut'?
Re: Bills D, False 'Hut'?
Bruce Laird said a last night's radio show that this kind of thing happens all of the time; he's employed it himself when at the end of his career he was playing for George Allen. John Gerhig agreed and said that it's just part of football and the offense needs to deal with it..
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable
There is another theory which states that this - has - already - happened
"We don't have a town drunk...we all take turns..."
Re: Bills D, False 'Hut'?
that does make a lot of sense now that I think about it, I remember a play where Heap got called for a false start but about 4-5 guys jumped, I thought maybe the center messed up the snapcount b?c it seemed like he was the only one that didn't move

Re: Bills D, False 'Hut'?
Well, it's the "low road", to be sure. But I don't doubt it happens throughout the league. I can't say for sure, but I'd imagine it'd be exactly the kind of thing that Bellicheck might employ, because he's one crafty coach who's always looking for some kind of advantage. Hopefully, Billick will learn from this and figure out a way to keep our guys from getting sucked into the same trap again.
GO RAVENS!!! (41-0 when +2 in turnovers)
Re: Bills D, False 'Hut'?
It seems to me that this would be an easy problem to adjust around. If the opponent is mimicking the snap count, just switch up the words. Announce in the huddle that you're going on "snap" instead of "hut". You can still make it the second or third word called. You can just have a list of distinctive sounds that would serve as triggers for the snap. Obviously you wouldn't want to have to use this all the time, because it breaks the rhythm of the team going on a familiar word, and forces everyone to concentrate on one more thing before the snap, rather than their assignment or reading the defense. But if the defensive line is disrupting you illegally, you should at least have a plan; it's better than getting false starts and waiting for the refs to do something about it.

thanks realitybites you just summed up my feelings!!!
WheredoIgonow posted 9/27/2012 15:53 PM
Well, this is my first post in this thread.... and the more I read, the more I am convinced.. I AM married to a PA man.
I always heard that term before, but I guess I never really thought about it... but it really, really makes sense.
We've been married over 28 years... 4 wonderful children (2 out of the house - 2 in high school). I thought we had a wonderful life and a pretty good marriage....then the A's came up. My FWH went through a major MLC...
We've been working on R for amost 3 years. Counseling for the first 1 to 1 1/2 and IC for him.
So, we've worked through a lot of the A mess... though it's always there..
Now the focus is us.. and we both want it to be better.
I've been a SI fan and member for a couple of years.. and just this week as I've got some great responses from other SI'rs - and gave me some links to PA articles and this thread - and it was like WOW.... this is us! He definitely has PA traits... and I've been feeding into them for YEARS... without really knowing it. I thought I was just being the 'good' wife - and taking care of him, the family, the kids, etc... I was the strong one and could handle so much... I would take on the burden of finances, the children, school.. because that's who I was... and the As hit.. and I've been working hard through those - and trying to understand 'why'.
I am a 'fixer'. I am an "analyzer'. I am a "doer". I am a "take charge" kind of person. I have no problem making a decision.
He does. Big or small. He wants me to - but doesn't want me to.
Now I'm seeing so much in a different light as I've been reading about this PA stuff.
He IS a NICE guy. He IS a GOOD father. He does NICE things for me and others...I would put him in the category as one of the NICEST persons I know.... except to me at times.
Is it common for the PA type person to be only PA to his spouse? I really don't see that behavior of his with anyone else.
Did he become so comfortable with me over the years... now he treats me so poorly sometimes?
I've been very, very frustrated with his negativity towards me.... his negative filter of me... His blow ups over NOTHING... and I learned enough from MC and my soul searching - that I can't change him.. I can't "do" anything for him to change...
On my own, I've learned to behave differently. I don't react like I used to... I used to yell and scream back at him a lot.... "chase" after him - wanting to resolve our disagreement.... NO MORE...
But I need to learn how to "respond" to him when he treats me that way... I've got read more.
I don't know how to encourage him that if he wants our M to be better, he needs to recognize his behavior and make some changes. But I can't tell him that... no way. How do I get him to look at himself... Is there something I can give him and ask him to read?
I feel sorry for him realy. It is all he has known. His parents (who are still alive and in their 80s)are the most emotionally-detached people I know.. no wonder he turned out this way.... They're "nice" - but ZERO emotional attachments to each other, their kids, grandkids, let alone friends. They have none.
I came from a very stable, loving, supportive enviroment. Perfect - heck no... but pretty darn healthy I would say.
So, my FWH continues the dance with his parents.... super shallow... controlling father.... and jumps when his father says jumps... even at the expense of his wife and 4 kids... It's their dance..
His IC tried to work with him on that .. and that's about the time he said he didn't want to go to IC anymore or MC...
Now when I suggest counseling again, he said maybe, but "im not going back to those guys". I say why not and he said because he felt like they were picking on him".
My "helping" gene wants to help my FWH... but I'm just trying to focus on me.... and my behaviors.
But I'm tired of him viewing me and verbally accusing me of such negativiity.... making stuff up sometimes of what he wants to believe - just to make me look bad.. when there is no validity.
He is very insecure.. and hates to and rarely admits any wrong doing or mistakes - super small or big...
So, where do I start. I believe there is hope - but reading these posts on this thread scares me..

WDIGN, Welcome! I'm a little delayed in responding to your post.
I am by no means an expert on this subject, but I live with a PA and have for two years. The things I learned about MYSELF after doing some reading made me angry at myself for not handling things differently; for in some way I set a dirty precedent early, early on.
If I had to guess..... the "helper" part of you is probably codependent. Maybe not, though, but living with this personality is when I really noticed my codependency the most.
One thing that has helped take his "control" away is by working on my dependency. Little things I was doing that he was sitting back just absorbing all my love and getting me to jump through hoops for him.
Well, the transition has been difficult for him to deal with as it trickles down on the negativity you mentioned your husband puts on you.
Don't let this scare you because some of this stuff makes it sound like it's entirely impossible to live or deal with a PA. I felt that way and then realized that the only way to get any sort of change was to change myself and stop feeding this wounded sort of personality.
I am extremely independent and seldom turn to a man for ANY advice or help in decision making. I have been this way my whole life and it's, at times, not very conducive to relationship success.
Understanding that their underlying issue is repressed anger and rather than blow a gasket, they'd rather their partner do it for them and that way they can feel better (momentarily) while you are pulling your hair out. It's also a very controlling behavior!!
My SO is constantly saying to me "if you tell me to do something then I'll do it". A strange concept coming from someone who loves to control the very air people breathe but he does, every single time!!
Building up your self esteem is vital to living with this personality IMHO. My SO and I had this type of friendship to begin with so much of what he says or does I tend not to pay attention to anyway, which has been a help and saving grace in some cases. Other cases, I tell him how his behavior made me feel and to not do it again.
Just curious..... who controls your sex life? Sorry if that's too forward but that is when I really see this behavior come out.
PM if you want!
Hope I helped.

Thanks for responding... there are not many posts under this topic - or at least not very often...
My H is not really a controlling guy with ANYONE - compared to people I know I work with.. in fact, he's quite the opposite.
And he doesn't trip anyone the way he treats me - except maybe the barista girl he doesn't like - or the waitress that he doesn't like.... Everyone else?? he would be voted the nicest guy in the whole world.
So, that's where I struggle. He isn't passive aggressive to many people - mainly me.. and these other people that I just mentioned as I observe his behavior.
As far as sex, it's normally him...but I Certainly do often... but he'd be the one who would initiate it whether we were getting along or not.
Thanks again for responding..

This is the first time I have ever read this thread. My WH is PA. The good news is I think my H is realizing it.
This PA behavior stems from his childhood. There is so much inside of him that he has never expressed and now he is finally trying to dig into it. Earlier this week (and a couple of weeks ago) he came home from IC saying he had some "aha moments." He realized the anger he has with his mother is being deflected onto me. He seemed to be having a breakthrough. Maybe this is part of his "why" Only time will tell I guess. I know I can't fix him. He has to dig into these issues on work on himself.

They seldom are passive with the "outside" world. It stems from intimacy issues underneath and significant others bring all that "fear" up for them. He is quite normal in that realm.
My SO met some friends and my ex sister in law who all knew my ex and at the end of dinner, one guy said that I "deserved" him (my SO). They all knew what an abusive man my ex was and my SO was able to put on that nice guy charm. Here's the thing though, he IS a nice guy but acts out his passive aggressiness on those closest to him. He wouldn' hurt a fly nor would he ever yell at anyone; that's the unhealthy part of this personality. They stuff, stuff, stuff it with no real way to get it out, so they create scenarios that make you angry, so as to allow them to stay calm.
In the end, your husband may not be passive aggressive. I would (and have) do some reading on it to get a better scope of what it's like to live with this disorder.
When I got through with the book, I was so damn mad at myself, but yet so incredibly relieved. It took immediate pressure off of me thinking that I was the one doing all this stuff wrong and creating the problems. He ends up creating 90% of my issues with him, but since I've learned to stop the control, he's come around some because now he doesn't know what I'm up to.
It's a weird game I never knew the likes of before. In the end, he's a baby (man) just like so many but I can count on him to do things I need him to do. That would NOT be a passive aggressive trait. Usually, they make you think they are dependable, but turn around and claim ignorance on the subject.
Hope I've helped.

2kidsandadog, which book are you referring to? I'd like to read it.
I haven't posted here in a long while, but every story that has been written here recently really hits home for me. I am the supremely efficient doer, my husband is the consummate avoider.
Except in our case, he was totally avoidant about affection and sex, too. Didn't notice it had disappeared, didn't miss it, was totally unmoved by any of the 60 different ways I tried to address the issue and bring us closer, physically and otherwise.
Anything that made him uncomfortable made him withdraw further. Essentially, asking for what I wanted or needed guaranteed I would never get it.
God, what a mindfuck. After two years of serious struggle he is finally getting it, how abandoning and irresponsible and downright disrespectful that was. He is doing a whole lot now to make up for it, but I still fear in my heart that he will always emotionally abandon me when things get tough.
2kidsandadog posted 10/15/2012 15:54 PM
It's simply titled " Living with The Passive Aggressive Man" by Scott Wetzler.
It's very easy reading and doesn't make you think life with this kind of person is impossible. I was afraid of that at first, but it teaches you different techniques to handling them plus it defines the codependent person which is the biggest attraction to them, and then begins the cycle. Our attraction is one of control, strong, dependable (which in the beginning he was Mr. Perfect and conveyed such about himself. Boy, what I've learned now.
I had to read it at work cause we live together and I refused to let him in on this one. He'd for sure switch gears just to confuse me even more.

This book has been eye opening. Think most addicts fall under the PA title. Started MC today and said I felt we fit this mold. The MC knew what book I was talking about and wholeheartedly agreed! Thanks so much for this thread and book info.

After attempting to R for the past 2 years, I have finally realized that a lot of the issues are not EA related at all---they are PA,at least I think they are. I am going to buy the book that was mentioned in this thread and see if it makes sense.
Maybe some of you can comment on the following:
H will blow up at the slightest hint of criticism--and have a long list of things I have done wrong--right at the ready to spew at me, but I don't think he would have said anything if I hadn't brought up some issues first.
The things he says have nothing to do with me--in fact, they are more descriptive of his actions. It's like a double gaslight and distraction at once. You become so defensive and have to defend yourself against a wrongful accusation--which has nothing to do with the original situation that you brought up.
And he mishears what I say. If I said, "I am having trouble living like this" (which is bad enough)
He'll say: "Thanks for saying that you can't live in this horror of a marriage!"
When I say: I didn't say that.
He says, yeah you just said it. and on and on. And the subject I wanted to discuss conveniently falls by the wayside.
Thanks for listening.

All- my H to a "t". Conversation yesterday
I ask him if he's planning on buying a new mattress (our son over heard him having sex with OW, while I was in Afghanistan. Son described sounds coming from our bedroom)
We hadn't talked about it past the night our son told me. I told him I'd try to sleep in our bed, but was making no promises. Slept (night mares, trouble falling n staying asleep, constant thoughts and mini movies of them in our bed) told him two days ago I was sleeping on pull out because I couldn't stand sleeping/being in our bed. Told him why. His response? Snickers at me, says "I told you we didn't have sex in here!" Hmm. He's lied and continues to lie about details. Our son doesn't lie, he's eight, how would he know how to describe the squishy wet sound of sex? His response is to jump up, snicker, get angry but yank the mattress out of our room and throw it outside. Then comes back in and says ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT ME TO BURN.? I told you I wasn't getting rid of it but you keep nagging me!
1/2 hour later
Me-(out with kids at park)
Him- went to Walmart
Him- your movie starts at 1155. Call ur mom n ask her to go.
Me- what r u talking about
Him- you need my people's card
Me- huh?
Him- there's two jack reacher tickets in Gpt.
Me- WHAT R U TALKING ABOUT
him- no reply at all
Me- so you made a date that doesn't include you?
Him- figured we shouldn't be around each other today.
Background- about two months ago, a month after I d-day, he's made plans for him n his friends for a weekend thing, he's made plans for man time, he's made plans for hunting. I ask " when are you gonna make time for us? We haven't been on a date since June." No answer.
Fast forward to later in the day after the movie thing. I get home with kids, he's in the attic. I figure, I don't want to go to the movies, I'd rather go see my best friend whom I haven't seen since July. Tell him I'm going to see her and get no response.
Texts on way down road-
Him- I make plans to go to the movies with you but you'd rather hang out with your friend!
Me- unbelievable
Him- your friends are more important
Me- you're amazing (inside I'm livid but am trying not to fall into his trap)
I've gone out one other time since I returned in may, with my friend shay, her mom, and my mom, to supper. Out of he house for 4 hours.
Daily he throws stuff in my face, doesn't want me to assume, and to ask him if I think a certain way, but when I do he gets angry. But, he assumes the worst about me, puts words in my mouth and tells me what and how I'm thinking. Tells me he wants to make decisions together but when I mention the kids clothes getting too small, house needs tp, what to get for Christmas I get a nod, or an okay and that's it. So I wait, a couple weeks, bring it up again then he says I'm nagging. Or I go buy our kids whatever they need (not want, but need! Shoes cause they can't wear theirs with socks, pants cause the hem is at their upper ankle and they can't button them shut...) and he throws it in my face, saying I do whatever I want to do, so why ask him. Btw- we make 80k a year take home- and I'm a bargain shopper!!
His father treats his mother like shit. Their family never argues! NEVER! My family is the opposite. He is his father, says he doesn't want to be, but when he disrespects me in front of our children, friends, etc. I tell him later on that I didn't deserve or appreciate it. He tells me don't bring his my family ever! He refuses to see them as dysfunctional. I could write a book, 1000 pages long on his pa ways. But I won't bore you any longer. He refuses to see IC or MC or to talk to ANYONE for that matter. I'm in a lose lose situation.

I am in the group too. It has been almost 3 years since Dday and I am still living, loving and supporting my my PA husband.
He doesn't use anger blow ups, he uses procrastination and pity to control me. Sadly, he doesn't get it and of course is the NICE GUY and a great dad. He is willing to give me everything- except for financial stability....which is the 1 thing that I am asking for.
It is so frustrating and I imagine leaving him everyday. If we didn't have our amazing HB baby, I would have left him. My feelings have changed and I feel more pity than attraction to him. I have no one to talk to about it and I don't even want to post on the regular boards because I feel so frozen about what to do.
I'm going to order that book that was recommended above and come here often. I really want to get out of this PA cycle.
whatdoto posted 1/2/2013 08:25 AM
Well, here I am in this forum. I too, have lived with a PA man for 17 years. Didn't realize it until just after dday. I researched and discovered, yep, he's PA. I do know what I need to do when he "jabs" me or accuses me of whatever or twists the conversation into somehow it's my fault. I just find it so hard to keep walking away when he does that. I can't tell you how many times I've told WH that when he says X or does X it hurts my feelings and he needs to stop and walk away. He apologizes, and turns right back around, and does/says it again. Uh, so tired of this game.
He was PA all day yesterday, stuck in the house due to crappy weather. Wanted to go hunting, but wouldn't go hunting, then mumbles under his breath behind my back "maybe moms right, I should just never go hunting again". Boy, I just flew right over to him and said "WTF! You seem to be unhappy, why don't you just crawl in your truck and go make yourself happy! Quit blaming me and our son for your unhappiness, and quit mumbling behind our backs about stuff that isn't true!" Then I walked away. He mopes, some more.
Then, of course, later he wants sex and when I say "no", well, I must not love him because I am not giving him what he wants. Whateva.
How do you resolve sex issues when their PA actions push you away? I know he loves me, I love him, but...
TeaLight posted 1/4/2013 18:27 PM
I am starting to feel that the only way to cure a P/A is to just walk away from them. As there are many days I truly feel like I am going nuts.
I agree. My ex was PA. He had two affairs during our marriage. The only thing I could do to save my own sanity was leave. Which I did.
It was the best thing I ever did. I'm now engaged to a wonderful, non-PA man and I've never felt more 'normal'.
trebleclef posted 1/6/2013 18:33 PM
That about sums it up: "lose/lose".
Endless frustration. Endless games. Endless eggshells. Endless no-win encounters.
If an A or two isn't enough to end it, a lifetime of this, is.

sadandtrying posted 1/25/2013 12:03 PM
I am alone in the house today, so I came on SI hoping to get some insight and support.
I am married to a PA man also. Ours is a 30 year M.
I felt his PA ways, but we were so happily distracted raising our 4 wonderful children that we didn't address it..until they were all off on their own.
And then...
The shit hit the fan when he had his last A (almost 5 years ago, and as soon as our youngest went off to college). Since then things have been rough, but we are together. He has been NC for 4 years.
Early on after dday I seemed to realize on some level that my H's A was PA behavior. Kind of like "if you don't know enough to give me what I need, then I'll show you" ....it's somehow my "job" as wife to read his mind, know what he needs, and "deliver" - "or else"....
My eyes have been so opened to the dynamics of our relationship - due to the hours and hours and hours I've spent researching and soul searching....who is he? who am I?
Finding out about the A and the TT that followed, the broken NC was beyond horrible.
Now - it's down to our core relationship. We come from VERY different FOO - his, non-communicative, mine very communicative.
And he mishears what I say. If I said, "I am having trouble living like this"
He'll say: "Thanks for saying that you can't live in this horror of a marriage!"
When I say: I didn't say that.
He says, yeah you just said it. and on and on. And the subject I wanted to discuss conveniently falls by the wayside.
This is us, over and over again...
If I don't play co-dependent, he mopes, and says I don't care about him.
I am so stumped -
I need some solutions and some strategies to help get out of this cycle.
Maybe I need to head to a bookstore now and pick up one of the books that have been recommended here....
Sending love and empathy to everyone here.
n0tm3 posted 2/6/2013 06:36 AM
I am going to explore this topic more. I do feel that this does explain my husband to some extent. Since DDay I have been thinking that this was part of our dynamics in our relationship.

FORT WAYNE, Ind.—John Aden, graduate of Paul Harding High School and executive director of the African/African American Historical Society and Museum of Fort Wayne, is coming to Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) to present the lecture, "Anvils of Blood, Oaths of Iron: Power, Secrecy, and Assassination in Western Sudan," as a part of the Native Tongue Lecture Series.
This lecture will take place Thursday, November 21, at 6 p.m. in Neff Hall, Room 101. This event is free and open to the public.
Aden's lecture wil focus on the trial and assassination of the king of Segu (present day Mali) in 1856. Attendees will learn the role that iron worker communities played in the death of the king. Aden also touches on how the historical community resisted Muslim jihad and French colonial expansion in the mid- 19th century.
Native Tongue Lecture Series showcases some of the intellectual talent Fort Wayne has produced through biannual presentations about race and race relations. The series is designed to engage the IPFW community around matters of race, while showing students another pathway to professional success.
This series is presented by the College of Arts and Sciences (COAS) and the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs (ODMA).

"The IBM Client for Smart Work offers university faculty, administration and students a Linux-based unified communication, collaboration and information exchange platform that potentially will facilitate sought after campus synergies," said Jeffrey A. Lasky, Professor and Chair, Department of Information Sciences and Technologies, GCCIS, Rochester Institute of Technology.
"Canonical is proud to partner with IBM to help open up the American corporate desktop through Ubuntu," said Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu and CEO of Canonical. "IBM's smart client package running on Ubuntu will allow U.S. organizations the financial freedom to redistribute the costs of expensive software licenses into IT projects that will innovate and drive critical growth."
"If a company is a 'Windows shop,' at some point it will need to evaluate the significant costs of migrating its base to Microsoft's next desktop," said Bob Picciano, General Manager, IBM Lotus Software. "American businesses have asked for a compelling alternative that can help them free up PC expenses to use for more strategic collaboration and business transformation projects."
For example, the IBM Client for Smart Work can equip the members of a company's marketing, sales and research departments with the means to quickly and efficiently collaborate. Business process modeling (BPM) can show workflows between sales and marketing, but very little between sales and research or marketing and research. Based on expertise residing in those functions and informal networks discovered through modeling, a company could find powerful insights from research playing an important role in sales and marketing efforts. It may turn out that an expert in R&D might be a company's greatest resource for marketing content, but this expertise has to be identified and shared in order to provide the highest value to the organization. Through online communities on LotusLive.com, this kind of insight can be tapped as needed for the benefit of an entire organization.
Companies can use the IBM BPM suite components such as WebSphere Dynamic Process Edition as required. Business leaders and business analysts can discover and explore business-relevant content to help them understand, experience, and accelerate business process management using IBM BPM BlueWorks.

Obama Invites Sharpton to WH, But Not Southern Baptist President
The White House is facing criticism for their decision to invite the Rev. Al Sharpton to the White House Easter Prayer Breakfast, while excluding top leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention – the nation's largest Protestant denomination.
Dozens of Christian leaders from around the nation were invited to the East Room Wednesday for a time of prayer and reflection as well as remarks from President Barack Obama and Vice President Joseph Biden.
A White House aide said the heads of major denominations and non-profit leaders were invited – including Cardinal Donald Wuerl of the Archdiocese of Washington, DC, Archbishop Demetrios of the Greek Orthodox Church and Sharon Watkins, president of the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ.
However, top leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention were not invited. A spokesman for the SBC confirmed that SBC President Bryant Wright and SBC Executive Committee President Frank Page were not extended invitations. Neither was Richard Land, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the denomination's public policy arm.
The White House declined to release a full list of those invited and those in attendance and the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Initiatives did not return calls seeking comment.
But the Obama Administration did extend an invitation to Sharpton, the MSNBC host who's come under fire for his inflammatory statements in the aftermath of the Trayvon Martin shooting.
That drew a sharp rebuke from Robert Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas.
"It appears that the Obama administration is more interested in the views of race-baiting, black liberation theology spokesmen like Jeremiah Wright and Al Sharpton than those of mainstream, evangelical Christians," Jeffress told Fox News.
He said the White House could be sending a message to Southern Baptists.
"To not invite leaders of the nation's largest Protestant denomination to the White House Easter Prayer Breakfast is more evidence of this administration's tin ear toward evangelical Christians," he said.
Richard Land, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, said the White House is free to invite who they choose to invite.
"My feelings are not hurt," he told Fox News.
Land also said he was not surprised that the White House invited Sharpton.
"As my east Texas grandmother once said, 'Birds of a feather tend to flock together,'" he said.

I just made these this morning, they turned out great! very delicious and super simple!ReplyDelete
I used 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds and added half a cup of more rolled oats in place of the nuts and I used dried apricot for the fruit.
Awesome recipe!
Can't wait to flirt with more variations :)
Wow. These would definitely make my morning commute a whole lot better. (and a whole lot healthier, too). They look great!ReplyDelete
It's crazy how often I click on a photo in Foodgawker and it brings me to you! So I thought I'd take the opportunity to thank you for sharing always great & incredibly easy recipes.ReplyDelete
@ CarolitaReplyDelete
that's such a nice thing you are saying. Thanks for appreciating my photos and my recipes.
yum! I love granola recipes! I love that there is no sugar added! Definitely bookmarking this one :DReplyDelete

SO good! and SO easy to make. Thanks for sharing! :)ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness! I'm so grateful for this recipe. Thank you! I needed this.ReplyDelete
I made these and I don't know what happened. They turned out really soggy even though I cooked them for an hour and a half. I cannot figure out for the life of me what went wrong. My 5 year old daughter loved them though! She wound up eating the entire pan.ReplyDelete
I am at a loss here, don't know what could have gone wrong. They not crispy, definitely not soggy in the middle either. Perhaps you laid them out too thick before baking? I am sorry the recipe didn't work out.ReplyDelete
SUCH a good recipe!! I totally messed around with it, adding some ground chia and whatnot as well as extra nuts, and even a few choc chips (I know, I know). Also added an egg into the wet mixture, and low and behold even with all the "adjustments" they turned out perfect! This was my first time baking with dried prunes and they were SO good. Thanks for the amazing recipe, I'm making a double batch this time they're so good!ReplyDelete

Does anyone know, do these have to be refrigerated after baking because of the milk?ReplyDelete
- Anonymous26 January 2012 at 04:57
Do non dairy milks work in this recipe?ReplyDelete
I have never tried it with non-dairy milk, but i can imagine they work just as well.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous5 February 2012 at 19:25
This turned out soggy in the center. It's probably because I used an 8x8 pan. I tried cutting it into bars and baking it for for an extra 15 minutes to evaporate the moisture and it did help a little. Oh well, better luck next time. Good recipe though!ReplyDelete

im going to try this this morning with almond milk and adding some soy protein powder.i hope i works out!ReplyDelete
Just tried these. Yum! I added shredded carrots for a little veggie bonus. Another addition I used was 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder, so I used 1/4c more milk and probably another handful of oats. The choc. adds a bit of sweetness and of course the added protein. I didn't have any parchment paper, so I just greased the non-stick pan with coconut oil; however, I guess my non-stick pan isn't really "non-stick!" I have a bit of a mess to clean up!! Thanks for this recipe!ReplyDelete
Baked them yesterday, they came out so good!!!! Loved the fact it doesn't contain sugar/butter!!!! Posting it my blog and linking back!!! thanx for sharing!!!! :)ReplyDelete
These are the easiest and best breakfast bars!! I added 1T of palm sugar, 2T flax seeds, and 2T olive oil -makes 'em crispy in the oven. SOOOOOOO GOOD!ReplyDelete
I put them in the toaster oven to crisp before eating on the go -best 'pop-tart' ever.

Do these turn out chewy or crispy? Thanks for the recipe!
Rather chewy.ReplyDelete

Hi Anja,ReplyDelete
I have some free time today..would you recommend that I make these your cocoa orange squared? Which would be more popular with teenagers?
Thanks so much!!
I'd try these first, not everyone might like the cocoa orange flavor combo.ReplyDelete
Hi Anja,ReplyDelete
Tried these out with 2 tablespoon sugar to create just the right amount of sweetness..Delicious!!
But they were really difficult to remove from the baking paper and quite thin for bars?
Other than that, great recipe, thanks so much!
For next time, do you think it is possible to omit nuts, as my sister is alergic?
Hi Anja, I tried it out today and came out just awesome! I wish I had made a larger batch!!ReplyDelete
Thank you for the wonderful recipe!
- Anonymous7 September 2012 at 18:54
These were great. My 3 & 4 yr olds loved them and I did too! I would have given them to my 11 month old too but I used sunflower seeds and he's not ready for those yet. I also missed the part to soak them, so poured them right in the pan while they were still liquidy (oops) - but they still turned out pretty good, and are already all gone! Will definitely make again!ReplyDelete
just made these and they are delicious!! I also added a table spoon of vanilla protein powder for extra taste and energy!!ReplyDelete

Thankyou for sharing your wonderful recipes. My 2 year old daughter loves helping me bake and we are slowly working our way through your recipes - these oatmeal bars were today's project. It is so wonderful to find wholesome, healthy 'treats' that we can shareReplyDelete
what can I use instead of nuts...? My sister is highly allergic to nuts and peanuts.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Barbara, you can omit the nuts altogether or replace them by sunflower or pumpkin seeds.Delete
Made these according to directions and found they needed just a touch of sweetness more. Made them again last night and added a about a teaspoon and a half of organic sugar and swapped almond extract for the vanilla and it made for a lovely variation. Such a great basic recipe with lots of room for variation. Looking to try the vanilla protein powder next time. These have solved my breakfast woes for my crazy on the go mornings. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Just made a batch!! They look great, tomorrow in the morning I'm eating a little bar, thank you!! :)ReplyDelete
I added 1/4 cup of flax seeds and a little more milk, they look great!! But I wanted to ask, how many kcal does a little bar have? I got 8 big bars, but I'll halve them tomorrow and I just wanted to know how much calories a portion has.
Have a nice day! :)
- Anonymous8 June 2015 at 14:14
Hmm, I followed the recipe exactly but they turned out very moist. I don't know where I did wrong.ReplyDelete
Late to the bandwagon, but I think I figured out why people are having problems with this coming out too moist: be sure you don't use quick oats!ReplyDelete

Wow, this is a long post with great advice for you!
You sound like a loving a caring puppy owner, glad you got your little guy.
The yahoo Mega-E group is awesome.
I have a 2 yr old GSD that has congenital mega-E, and "grew out of it". She was severe enough at 5 wks I was very close to euthanizing her. It's not easy to have a dog with this condition. I had all the pups in the litter barium xrayed to check their status before I placed them.
We had a time of it for about 6 months feeding her upright (which she hated), and medicating her for resulting esophagitis.
I wish all the best for you and your puppy.
Bones are not advised for Mega-E animals.
With the threat of constant regurgitation bones fragments may get stuck in their throats and agitate it more. Raw hides are not advised for the same reason.
If you decide to stick with a Raw diet, make sure all bones are ground.
An option for 'treats' or to help hydrate are coconut milk or chicken broth jello cubes(you can freeze them too).
Use one cup milk/low-sodium chick broth to three cups water with 4 packets of knox gelatin mix. (let the gelatin mix set in the coconut milk mix for 10-15 min before chilling. Or the milk will separate from the water for some reason.)
Also get a water bottle(like a giant rabbit/hamster bottle) that has an adjustable stand(or make the stand yourself). They need to drink fluids with their heads elevated as well. So eating snow is the culprit when he regurgitates water after being outside.
Your video is just the cutest thing I have ever seen. So smart!
And I will keep my fingers, toes, legs and eyes crossed hoping beyond hope that your little fellow will out grow this condition.
And I would look for a vet that has more experience with Mega-E as well as joining the yahoo group every one has pointed out. You will need the support of others who have and are dealing with the same condition.
|Adorable! I had to watch that several times. Smart puppy.
That's probably the cutest video I've ever seen!

Update on Scout:
Hes starting to put on some weight. Up to 17lbs depending on the day. Currently feeding him 1.5 cups 3 times a day. Feeding him a puree blend of Blue Buffalo wet puppy food, blue buffalo puppy kibble, water, salmon oil, and probiotic enzyme. He sits up for 30 minutes after each feeding to help the food go down to his stomach. He does well most of the time and keeps the food down about 90% of the time. We are currently feeding him in a baby walker until he out grows it and then I will build an adjustable bailey chair.
Follow Scout for updates on his facebook page: www.facebook.com/gsdscout
and check out this video I got of him last night. He is def associating the baby walker with feeding time and he literally jumps right into it now.

Kaleb is the first dog I crate trained. I slept on a mattress beside the crate for a good month or more. He would really through a fit, but I knew If I took him out it would take even longer to get him to settle the next night.
Eventually the crying became less. He was in our room in his crate. When I went back to my bed he whined a bit, but only for a few minutes. He no longer cries in his crate. He is now 7 1/2 months and has his crate open if he wants to go in it at night, but sleeps outside on a dog bed most of the time. If we need to crate him for whatever reason he doesn't cry anymore.
My husband tried to crate train Riley, but gave up on the third night and put him in our bed. He slept in our bed until he got large enough to stretch out and almost push us off the bed...lol
|Thanks for updating! It sounds like he is doing well. I would keep him in the bed with you. That way you all can get some sleep!
|He won't whine all night. It will just seem like it... (Actually, the whining will stop after a while.)

Been thinking about ducks too much lately! I decided to lose my self in a little project to help me cope, lol.
Put some off road lights on my layout boat yesterday, they are plenty bright. Thought they turned out pretty decent. anyone have any suggestions on what to do with all the excess wire? I bundled it up but cant figure out what to do with it. I'm not very experienced when it comes to electrical, so even this simple project was a learning experience for me.

Re: Single Handed Sailing
I picked up an tiller pilot for $125 in our marina and with a roller furling genoa find single- handing a pleasure on my C&C24.like previously stated docking takes practice and don't come into your well any faster then you are willing to hit your dock!
Re: Single Handed Sailing
Zombie thread alert
As the OP posted in 2006 he may be OK by now.
Re: Single Handed Sailing
One problem with most published Polar diagrams is that they assume a full blown race crew with their weight in the right spot, i.e. weight on the rail. Because of that, polars and sail changes will be different than those for a fully crewed boats. Typically single-handers will have less weight aboard, and much less moveable ballast, and less crew to do sail changes. This puts a premium on setting up the boat with sails that work across as broad a wind range as possible and then designing the hardware, rig, and deck plan to allow rapid depowering (rather than furling or reefing.)

Re: Single Handed Sailing
Polars are just a chart showing what speed you should expect on different points of sail.

Yes, sometimes it really is that low and you can pick up speed by doing it. (I don't know about your boat, just generalizing.)
If you can't get polars, experiment. Reef and unreef, get practiced at it, and compare boat speeds and wind speeds.
|My V-21 has no winches, just cleats. Tacking singlehanded is simply tacking slowly enough to loosen the lee sheet and reset it about 5' further down (each boat is different) sliding over to pull the new lee sheet tight as she comes through the wind, cleating down and straightening your course. I've gotten where I can tack and be set on the new course in less than 15 seconds singlehanded. I don't have reefs so if the wind comes up I just either make the cabin windows a planing surface or pinch up tighter and move the mainsheet down since I have no traveller. It makes for as wild of a ride as ya care to do if ya like it that way. Practice, practice and more practice is the best way to learn the boat.
I sail the C22 almost every week here in English bay, Vancouver, Canada.
I have found the C22 to heel a lot more when I'm out by myself instead of with more people, so I reef in just about 11 knots of winds and it makes sailing a lot more comfortable. But then again, I'm a fairly light person.
With 3 people the boat can run under full canvas and heel almost 50% less up to a certain wind speed, I have found.
Also, about heaving to in the C22. This is from my experience....
Once the wind gets above 17-20 knots you will not be able to heave-to as well with the normal "back the jib" technique people often recommend. The bow will just move off the wind and you'll start making way and heeling over more.
If you're still making way, you are not heaving to, you're sailing.
Instead, reef the main and take the jib down or furl it in.
Then... release the main sheet until you have very little way on... (1 knot is good)
Lock the tiller to lee ward and tighten the main sheet in.
The boat should stay at a 45-50 degree angle off the wind and you'll be drifting at about 1 knot to leeward.
In stronger winds you do not need the backed jib especially with a light boat like the C22. The wind on the forward side of the hull should be enough (assuming your main is reefed down enough)
However, if you try to heave-to with too much way without the Jib, it's likely the boat might tack through the wind. Hence I recommend reducing speed before you do it this way.
If the boat continues to point into the wind too much, reef the main again if you have a second reef, or try unfurling some of the jib.
I strongly recommend "Storm Tactics" by Lynn and Larry Perry on more heave-to stuff, that book is price-less when it comes to heaving to in stronger winds.
As a general rule, you should always raise the mainsail first, and take it down first.
Most sailboats will sail nicely on a close reach, (about halfway between a beam reach and a beat) using a simple tiller tamer or similar device to hold the course. If the boat heads up a little too close to the wind, the mainsail will luff and the boat will bear away from the wind. If the boat bears away too much, the increasing force on the mainsail will kick the stern to leeward, and the boat will come up gently to windward. Sailing in this manner, the boat will be sailing at low speed and with very little heeling, which will make it much easier for you to move around the decks. (From my description, it might sound like the boat will be oscillating on and off the wind a lot, but the motion is much more gentle than that, and it really doesn't oscillate significantly.)
If you raise the jib first, the boat won't self-steer very easily, and it'll go much faster, bounding over the waves. It'll also heel much more, making it more difficult for you to raise the mainsail.
Thus, if you raise the mainsail first, and set a tiller tamer to steer a course as described above, the boat will sail indefinitely, unattended, allowing you as much time as you need to hank on and raise the jib, tilt up the outboard motor, untangle any foul-up, or do anything else you need to do. Of course it's important that you keep a sharp eye out constantly for traffic nearby, while you're rigging the sail.
When you raise or lower the jib, the boat doesn't need to be head-to-wind. The jib will go up and come down nicely on a close reach. If your jib halyard is led aft to the cockpit, then you can steer the boat head-to-wind and simply let the jib fall onto the foredeck. If your jib halyard is cleated at the mast, then you have to let the jib luff while the boat is sailing on the mainsail alone on a close reach, and go to the foredeck and catch the jib with one hand while you gradually release the jib halyard with the other hand.

Many machine shops today are machining with inserts much larger than are required. There are two trends in the machining industry today that influence the decision to consider downsizing your inserts size. The first is the raw materials (tungsten and cobalt) used to produce carbide inserts are dramatically increasing in price. The second is manufacturing technology is advancing and parts to be machined are considered "near net". That means the unmachined part is near its net size or there is little material to be removed. Over 75% of the turning market takes depth of cuts of 0.117" (3mm) or less. Yet many machine shops insist on using large size inserts. The most common turning insert sold in North America today is a CNMG 432. This insert is capable of almost 0.250" (6.35mm) depth of cut. Yet as mentioned earlier over 75% of the machining industry takes cuts of less than half of that depth. This seems wasteful.
In order to maintain the same performance, integrity and fracture resistance of the tool the smaller insert should have a thickness close to equal that of the large inserts. The insert numbering system or "nomenclature" indicates the size of the insert. The first number specifies the size of the inscribed circle of that particular insert geometry. In the case of a CNMG 432, the 4 would translate to 4/8 or ½ inch inscribed circle. The second number points to the thickness of the insert. In this case a CNMG 432 the 3 shows a 3/16 inch thick insert and the last number indicates the radius of the insert. So if you are using a CNMG 432 insert, you can simply downsize to a CNMG 332 insert. Since the insert thickness is the same, the chip breaker and grade are the same the performance will be equal. However the price will be 20% less.
Some shops are reluctant to change, since they consider they have an investment in the tool holder. A typical holder for a CNMG 432 would be an ACLNR 16-4 which would typically list for $85.00. A CNMG 432 insert typically has a list price of around $11.25 where as a smaller CNMG 332 would typically have a list price 20% less or around $9.00. By downsizing your insert the break even on the tool holder would occur after only using 38 inserts. A typical tool holder is capable of lasting several hundred inserts. Of course this is only an extra cost on the first replacement as all tool holders eventually will wear out and need replacing. Of course there is no extra cost involved if the shop simply waits until the holder wears out and replaces it. However this is not recommended as the shop would be spending too much money on larger inserts.
This leads to another topic: Tool holders. Many shops tend to push the life of the tool holder without realizing the negative consequences. Tool holders are subjected to intense pressure, heat and abuse. Over time the pocket in a tool holder will "coin" or deform making the insert "fit" loose. This may cause the insert to move while in cut. This will lead to shorter tool life, slower performance and may result in catastrophic failure. It is sensible to change your holder often as it will help maintain high productivity, extend tool life and reduce the chance of catastrophic failure. Trying to save a few dollars by extending the life of the $85 tool holder generally ends up cost much more in reduced productivity, poor tool life and probable tool failure.

Despite evidence to the contrary, Beyonce is not perfect - so says friend and Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland.
During an appearance on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" this week, the new "X Factor" judge was asked to reveal "one annoying thing" about Queen Bey.
"She would tell you this - she's a slob!" Kelly told host Andy Cohen, during a round of "Plead the Fifth." "If you walk in - maybe she's gotten better since becoming a mother - but she's got a lot on her brain.
PHOTOS: We Always Like What We See Of Beyonce!
"You can tell she's got a lot going on," she added.
Kelly also spoke about her new song, "Dirty Laundry," in which she admits fighting feelings of jealousy toward Beyonce when the "Halo" singer's solo career took off.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Hottest Mom & Their Little Ones
When asked if she was nervous to play the track for Beyonce, she said, "No! I was excited for her to hear it."
And Beyonce's reaction to the emotional track touched Kelly.
"As an artist, as a woman, she was just so embracing and so supportive and I love her for that," Kelly said, adding, "And I played it for Michelle [Williams] and she was like, 'Girl. Girl. This is great!' I had such great support from them and that's what means the most to me."

AMES, Iowa -- When parents worry about gray hair and wrinkles or complain about getting older, should they also wonder whether their children are listening? During February, family life specialists discuss children's attitudes about aging in the Science of Parenting blog from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
"This month we'll talk about whether parents' attitudes toward aging affect their children's attitudes," said family life specialist Donna Donald. "Research shows that family influences are among several factors that can impact how children view aging and older people. We'll also look at the impact from TV, movies, books and jokes, and everyday language and experiences."
Family life specialist Lori Hayungs added, "Join us as we blog about how to help children view the aging process in a healthy and realistic way."
Learn more from tips on the blog throughout the month and in a four-minute podcast. Through the Science of Parenting, www.scienceofparenting.org, ISU Extension and Outreach specialists share and discuss research-based information and resources to help parents rear their children. Parents can join in the conversation and share thoughts and experiences, as well as how they handle parenting responsibilities.

Our Philosophy
What is Our Philosophy?
The Early Learning Center operates as a part of the Family Life and Early Childhood Education Departments at Everett Community College. The center's organization is based upon a cooperative model where families and center staff work together to achieve a quality early childhood program.
We value the cooperative nature of our program by demonstrating mutual respect, understanding and communication with each other.
ELC teachers respond to each child's individual needs by providing warm and responsive communication, gentle guidance and positive learning opportunities. They model and communicate caring, respect, responsibility and appreciation of our diverse community.
We provide an environment and interactions that support children in becoming eager learners, creative thinkers, confident problem solvers and sensitive, compassionate human beings.
Family Involvement
We believe families are a child's first and most important teachers, and do our best to be respectful partners in children's care and education. We see the early learning years as a remarkable and exciting time to be involved in the life of a child.
Families stay involved in the care and education of their children through parent education classes and volunteering in their child's classroom, where they also build relationships with teachers and each other.
Children at the Early Learning Center also benefit from the participation of Early Childhood Education students, student work study participants, as well as student and community volunteers.

I have about half of my AR15 barrels chrome lined. I haven't noticed a difference between them over the last 20+ years. I'd be more tempted to go with a stainless barrel over a chrome lined barrel for one that would see high moisture and infrequent cleaning. If going with a chromemoly barrel, for $50 it can't hurt to get a chrome lined one.
generally speaking go with the chrome but it is not a must have.
about half of my ar-15 types are chrome lined GI-spec 4150CV steel types --the other half are non chrome lined 4140 steel.
i do think the hard chrome lined barrels help with wear on 1in 7 inch twist barrels if you shoot a lot of the heavy stuff.
I don't think you need a chrome lined barrel if you can clean it after shooting. Chrome lined barrels are more of a necessity when you shoot full auto, use corrosive ammo and or stuck in the field and can't properly clean.
IMO: The chrome lining is not worth it. Chances are you will be shooting non corrosive ammo through it anyways. I've had over 6 uppers w/ non chrome bores(1 was a bushy/chrome) and no problems, and I live in MI. My gun I have now, I test fired over 5months ago, and didn't even realize I didn't clean it until a couple of days ago. It still looks brand new. Its not like were talking about an AK here were you have to clean it right away(Well....At least I do or it will start to rust in about 2hrs) It depends where you live too..
If you are a casual shooter on a budget, I wouldn't think it's necessary, so long as you pay a little attention to maintaining it.
For the occasional CLEANER, then it may be worth it! :)
If you run a swab down the bore once every blue moon like my brother used to on his un-chromed AR in a dry climate then you would still be OK. If its going to be in a humid area like where I live now then I would swab it as often as possible.
The word is Seems. My ak seems to clean easier and faster with the chrome barrel. As far as shooting, I don't see any difference from my other rifles.
Agreed, it's all about cleaning. If dreading the oil and lube keeps you from blowing more rounds then consider making it easier.
I would prefer chromelined due to the longer life and easier cleaning but if its mostly a safe queen it probably doesn't matter. I would guess the chromelined barreled gun would be more desirable in the secondary market if you wanted to sell it in the future though..
