If Ronaldo wants to be a madrid player
Then sell him. No one is bigger than the club.
But if his mind is set to leave, no one can blame him on what he has done today.
If all of Meraid transfer are just rumers, please do not sell him just because he puts his country ahead of his united team member.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Ronaldo deserves a smack in the gob from Rooney, for being un-sporting to a so-called team mate. As for staying or leaving for Real Madrid if his heart isnt with Man U then he doesn't deserve to stay with the club. If he comes back to stay with Man U & faces the music with Rooney and the British public that will I'm sure make a real player from him and not the Caniving cheat he appears to be right now. I don't say Rooney didnt deserve to be carded or sent off but not helped off by a team mate, the wink from Ronaldo after the sending off says it all from me !!! I don't think he's man enough to stay at Man U.

What is wrong with asking the ref for a foul on one of his players? Rooney does not deserve special compensation from Ronaldo just because they play together at united, that is ludicrous and Id be very suprised if Rooney didnt agree.
let him go...sell him for around £20m, thats if he is worth that now...and buy Lennon!
Ronaldo, will be perfect for Spanish football. its full of divers, racist and no-contact football.
Having lennon at the club with carrick (hopefully) and rooney will be good for both club and country.!!!
What does anyone think?!
Let him go! I can't see Beckham playing with him and I don't Rooney playing with him if he stays! He could be the new leaper of football. I hate cheats and bad sportsmanship!

i've wanted to sell him before cos i'm sick of his whole attitude. sure he has talent, but the moaning, diving and all round bad character traits are going to destroy that talent.
Sell the stuck up twat. SAF stood by him thru rape allegations, the death of his father and indifferent form and look at this.. this is how he is repaid. Flog him to fund a better bid for Carrick. He was a class act and should have been playing in place of fat frank at the world cup from the second game.

Well Ronaldo is a great talent...but maybe it is time to say good bye!
I think we need to have a clear out! Bye bye Ronaldo, Fletcher, Van Nistelrooy
But ronaldo admitted that he want to leave for mardrid and the harmony in united team has been ruined by him. What's more is that england fans will no longer welcome him any more in premiership.
No doubt ronaldo is a great player, that's been proved by his status in Portugal, but he looks to have problem getting along with his teammates, like keane and van. So sell him and buy lenon will be a good deal.

I don't know what to say.
Anytime you don't agree with someone else's opinion, you say he is not red.
That's sad.
Who is Ronaldo's manager...cause he's getting some crap advice...how will going to madrid make him a complete player....Ronaldo has talent no doubt...but until he fixes his on-field demenour (sp?) then he won't be able to get far in the game...but like most he's probably just in it for the money

Skip to comments.The FReeper Foxhole's TreadHead Tuesday - U.S. Self Propelled Artillery - Sep. 7th, 2004
Posted on 09/06/2004 11:23:18 PM PDT by SAMWolf
are acknowledged, affirmed and commemorated.
| Our Mission:
The FReeper Foxhole is dedicated to Veterans of our Nation's military forces and to others who are affected in their relationships with Veterans.
In the FReeper Foxhole, Veterans or their family members should feel free to address their specific circumstances or whatever issues concern them in an atmosphere of peace, understanding, brotherhood and support.
The FReeper Foxhole hopes to share with it's readers an open forum where we can learn about and discuss military history, military news and other topics of concern or interest to our readers be they Veteran's, Current Duty or anyone interested in what we have to offer.
If the Foxhole makes someone appreciate, even a little, what others have sacrificed for us, then it has accomplished one of it's missions.
We hope the Foxhole in some small way helps us to remember and honor those who came before us.
The modern artillery piece is an incredibly lethal and (in the public eye) totally unappreciated piece of machinery. It lacks the popularity and accessibility of the personal firearm or the glamour of the main battle tank, but artillery is an absolutely crucial component of combined-arms tactics in ground warfare. Sci-fi fan discussions of ground warfare often assume that artillery is unnecessary in the presence of air support, but this is a totally unrealistic approach. While artillery doesn't produce pretty pictures of smart bombs hitting buildings for CNN, it does produce results, particularly against targets which are not easily seen from the air. Unlike aircraft, artillery is unaffected by cloud cover or similar visibility conditions; as long as the spotter can relay the target location, the act of aiming is performed through mathematical computation rather than visual target acquisition.
Furthermore, artillery isn't as easily fooled by cardboard decoys or other guerilla tricks, since its targeting is based on forward observers rather than detection from a distance. An artillery piece is also much less expensive than an aircraft, and a high explosive shell is much less expensive than a multi-million dollar guided missile. Artillery has an effective 100% duty cycle in the local combat area, unlike aircraft which cover large areas and must periodically return to base for refueling, maintenance, etc. Artillery is also much harder to detect than aircraft. Even a stealth aircraft is neither invisible or silent, while a camouflaged artillery piece can avoid detection until it opens fire, even in daytime.
Artillery pieces can range from small 52mm mortars to massive 8-inch self-propelled howitzers such as the M110A1, and they serve two purposes: close-range infantry support and long-range destruction of enemy units. Since artillery fires projectiles in an arcing trajectory, it has the absolutely priceless ability to hit targets without a line of sight. The importance of this capability simply cannot be overstated. An enemy tank column can be attacked by field artillery from behind geographical obstructions, and even if the attacking artillery is within range, the tanks still wouldn't be able to shoot back. In mountainous terrain, this capability is absolutely crucial; an army without artillery is a dead army. Of course, this leads to the obvious question of how artillery is aimed, and that job falls to fire control and the forward observer.
Forward observers operate independently, and their job is to locate the target. They can be anything from specially equipped vehicles to men on foot, and they are typically equipped with laser rangefinders and accurate positioning systems such as GPS systems, so that they can relay very accurate targeting data back to fire control. Fire control then performs mathematical computations to determine the ideal firing angle and charge in order to hit the target, factoring in such variables as wind, humidity, temperature, etc. Modern systems even have multiple simultaneous strike capability, which is accomplished by firing three times in rapid succession: once at very high elevation, once at medium elevation, and once at low elevation. All three shots are timed so that they hit the target at the same time, from three different angles. Against a hardened target, this can effectively triple the power of the weapon. Against soft targets like infantry, the approach is somewhat different; a single proximity-fused projectile is set to explode in the air above the target and shower it with shrapnel. Either way, whether the target is a bunker, a column of armoured vehicles, or a group of infantry, if the artillery can find it, the artillery can destroy it.
Unfortunately, the greatest advantage of the artillery piece is also its greatest weakness: the parabolic trajectory of its projectile. While it allows the artillery piece to hit its target at great distances without a line of sight, it also allows a well-equipped enemy to swiftly locate the artillery piece, simply by tracking the arc of its projectile and mathematically computing its source. Specialized systems have been designed for just this purpose: for example, the EMI Cymbeline radar system is a specialized mortar-locating radar system, and the US Army's Firefinder system can locate both mortars and field artillery pieces. This means that field artillery is as much of a target as a threat, and the best efforts at concealment are basically for naught when the gun is ordered to open fire. However, the enemy must be well equipped in order to exploit this weakness, thus further underscoring the necessity of artillery: an enemy without effective artillery of his own would be helpless to exploit this weakness, so you would be able to attack him with impunity.
Another point of vulnerability is the forward observer, since your artillery cannot target the enemy if your forward observers have been killed or captured. A possible alternative to the forward observer is the small aerial RPV (remote piloted vehicle), which is already in use for naval gunnery. However, the RPV is an expensive device, and forward observers are expected to be available on the battlefield by the time artillery is deployed.
Mobile warfare is hampered by immobile artillery support, so a full-scale conventional warfare scenario requires self-propelled artillery pieces. The doctrine of self-propelled gun deployment calls for large numbers of independent units to situate themselves around the countryside and move with the infantry and armour units. When a target is identified by the spotters, all of these artillery pieces will simultaneously open fire and shower it with shells, before pulling up stakes and changing positions in order to avoid the inevitable enemy artillery counter-attack (the slang term is "shoot and scoot". In this way, mobile artillery units achieve the dangerous combination of mobility, dispersion, and firepower concentration.

Join us at the rally we call:
What: A peaceful remembrance of those with whom we served in Vietnam - those who lived and those who died.
We will tell the story of their virtues and how that contrasts with the lies told by John Kerry.
When: Sunday, Sept. 12, 2004 @ 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM EDT
Where: The West Front of the U.S. Capitol Building, Washington, DC
All Vietnam veterans and their families and supporters are asked to attend. Other veterans are invited as honored guests. This will be a peaceful event--no shouting or contact with others with different opinions. We fought for their rights then, and we respect their rights now. This is NOT a Republican or a pro-Bush rally. Democrats, Republicans and independents alike are warmly invited.
Our gathering is to remember those with whom we served, thereby giving the lie to John Kerry's smear against a generation of fine young men. B.G. "Jug" Burkett, author of "Stolen Valor," will be one of our speakers. Jug has debunked countless impostors who falsely claimed to be Vietnam veterans or who falsely claimed awards for heroism. Jug recommends that we refrain from dragging fatigues out of mothballs. Dress like America, like you do every day. Dress code: business casual, nice slacks, and shirt and shoes. No uniform remnants, please. Unit hats OK.
Selected members will wear badges identifying them as authorized to speak to the media about our event. Others who speak to the media will speak only for themselves.
The program will be controlled in an attempt to stay on-message. Speakers are encouraged not to engage in speculative criticism of John Kerry but (1) to stick to known and undisputed facts about John Kerrys lies while (2) reminding America of the true honor and courage of our brothers in battle in Vietnam.
Send this announcement to 10 or more of your brothers! Bring them by car, bus, train or plane! Make this event one of pride in America, an event you would be proud to have your mother or your children attend.

Good morning AJC. Be sure and tell your dad thanks when you see him next.
I'm sure any pictures you choose will be just fine. We'd love for you to share any you'd like.
We've covered New Guinea and the Papua Campaign but not Shaggy Ridge specifically. Looks like we'll have to put it on our list of threads to do. :-)
Is that the same as upper senate park that I saw in the Vietnam Veterans for Truth website? This is the link:
I expect to be going, and I need to figure out parking arrangements. I'll be leaving from NYC with friends hopefully at 0730.
The Crusader self-propelled howitzer was being developed for the US Army as a replacement for the Paladin and the US Army requirement was expected to be for over 800 vehicles. In May 2002, the Crusader program was officially terminated by the Department of Defense because it was not considered sufficiently mobile or precise for the evolving security needs of the 21st century. In August 2002, United Defense received the formal termination which ends all further work on the program. United Defense has been awarded a contract to use technologies developed for the Crusader program to produce a lighter and more deployable Objective Force Cannon or Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) cannon. "Objective Force" is the working title for the US Army's long-term future combat force. The NLOS cannon is planned to be fielded in 2009.
Live firing trials of the Crusader began in February 2000 at the Yuma Proving Grounds in Arizona, and in November 2000 a firing rate of 10.4 rounds per minute was achieved. The system successfully completed its Preliminary Design Review (PDR) in November 2001. The first production versions were due in 2006 and it was planned to enter service in 2008. The Crusader programme was being carried out by Team Crusader, led by United Defense.
The Crusader artillery system was intended to provide enhanced survivability, lethality and mobility and be more easily deployable and sustainable than current systems. A battery of six Crusaders can deliver 15t of ammunition in less than 5mins.
United Defense reduced the weight and size of the Crusader vehicle from 60t to 38t to 41t allowing two vehicles rather than one to be transported on a C-5 or C-17 aircraft. This allowed the howitzer to be more easily available for fire support missions.
The Crusader consists of two vehicles, the XM2001 155mm self-propelled howitzer and the XM2002 armoured re-supply vehicle. The high level of automation means that the howitzer and re-supply vehicle each require only three men to operate it. The gunners can control the entire loading and firing process from the safety of the computerised cockpit under armour and nuclear biological and chemical warfare protection. In addition to the current tracked system, the Crusader Armoured Re-supply Vehicle is being offered in a wheeled variant.
Glad to hear that you'll be able to scan and save you grandfather's pictures. The Papua/New Guinea Campaign isn't all that well known to a lot of people. Maybe you grandfather's pictures will get some people interested in learning more.
Where: Upper Senate Park, Washington, D.C. It is easy to get to, shady and pretty, with a great view of the Capitol dome in back of the speaker's platform. THIS IS A NEW LOCATION AS OF 7/17/04
The location on the KERRYLIED website is corret. Thanks for asking the question, we'll update our Announcement post.
Good morning, Snippy and everyone at the Foxhole.
Good morning.
If you all remember, I have mentioned my father-in-law here on Fr several times. He is a retired LTC, retiring in 1961. His first unit was with horse drawn artillery in the Mississippi National Guard. When he was commissioned, he was FA, but later moved to tank destroyers and then on to Armor. He attended one of the first courses in using tanks as artillery. That is one of his favorite memories and he tells the story often. I will print some of the comments and pictures from this thread and show them to him. He loves to read and see articles and information such as this.
Read: 2 Corinthians 3:7-18
We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image. 2 Corinthians 3:18
Bible In One Year: Proverbs 1-2; 1 Corinthians 16
Years ago, an elderly businessman asked me, "What is your biggest problem?"
I pondered this for a while before replying: "When I look in the mirror every morning, I see my biggest problem staring at me."
Today's Scripture reading teaches me that Christians are to be like mirrors. Paul said that our faces are not to be veiled. This is logical. No one installs a mirror and then places a curtain over it. A covered mirror will not fulfill the purpose of reflecting the objects before it.
In 2 Corinthians 3:18, we are described as "beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord." When we behold His glory, we will be "transformed into the same image"that is, the likeness of Christ.
We may wonder why we are still so far from being like Christ in our thinking and behavior. Perhaps this question will help: "Whose life do we mirror?"
God's people must reflect God's glory. To do that we must make it our habit to behold His glory. We must read and meditate on His Word. We must pray and trust God's Holy Spirit to work in our hearts. Only then can we obey His commands and depend on His promises.
Whose glory are you reflecting today? Albert Lee
Good morning

Yes it is..
The American Turtle was successfully launched in the dark of night on September 6/7, 1776 against the British flagship, HMS Eagle, a 64 gun frigate moored in New York harbor off of the island now occupied by the Statue of Liberty. The Turtle had undergone extensive test trials in the safe colonial waters of the Connecticut River off Old Saybrook, Ct., piloted by the inventor's brother Ezra Bushnell. Unfortunately, on the eve of the submarine's first combat mission, Ezra Bushnell died.
With a freshly recruited, but less practiced pilot, Ezra Lee of Old Lyme, Ct., the American Turtle made its way underwater to the rudder of the Eagle's hull. Unfortunately, Lee first struck metal rather than wood with the screw intended to attach the bomb to the enemy's hull. After a second failed attempt, Lee propelled the American Turtle away, only to be observed and chased. The bomb was released into the water and resulted in a frightening explosion. While the American Turtle failed to destroy its target, the British recognized the threat and moved the fleet. Weather problems, and other operating difficulties prevented a successful attack by the submarine before it was scuttled by the British while being transported.

Here's Why TV Show Jodha Akbar Is Better Than Hrithik-Aishwarya Film Jodhaa Akbar!
Zee TV's Jodha Akbar is undoubtedly one of the most watched and loved daily shows on Indian television today. The tale of Akbar and his wife Jodha interwoven with the complexities of being the King of Mughal empire, recited beautifully on the fabric of a daily show, is too complicated to be told in a time-constrained feature film.
Jodhaa Akbar, the full fledged film directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, starred superstars like Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. But the tale so complex compressed in a 303 minutes movie will sure miss out on a lot of details.
The details which can have a broad canvas when told through a daily show. Jodha Akbar, directed by Santram Verma (initially produced by Ekta Kapoor) is currently dealing with one such layered scenario, starring Rajat Tokas and Paridhi Sharma. The historical, fictional drama which sure stands out among the monotonous shows whose sole intention is to churn ratings rather than tell a story.
Akbar, would realise that his Badi Ammi, who is also the Vasirey Aaliya of his empire, has conspired against his wife and betrayed him out of mere vengense. This though was told in the film as well, has been told in detail on the show, including the painful emotions the characters, involved, go through.
The pain a son goes through when he realises his mother has betrayed him; the portrayal of a heartbroken emperor, who is guilt-stricken for having accused his innocent wife of being an impostor; a wife's anger on her husband for doubting her character; the emotions a wife goes through when she is fighting an internal battle while declaring she would rather be away from her husband than take a chance at her self respect... What justice can a feature film do to these emotions?


text: Posted October 26, 2012 Okay I know shameless self-promotion or unnecessary "I told you so's" are unpopular to hear,but...... I fugging told you guys to keep an eye on Lombardi and Bucky Brooks I took a mild amount of heat for it too. I read a lot of Lombardi's and Brooks' analysis of players and front offices. I don't often agree with Lombardi but he is rarely entirely off base and he definitely has an inside track with the front office. He also almost never mentions Carolina for some reason but lately has been chiming in with more than a sentence or two. I doubt very seriously this means he is gunning to be our GM, but hey who knows. As far as Brooks is concerned he actually was friends with Hurney, was around and worked for him during the superbowl year and would definitely have talked to him personally about this situation.

TELL CITY - Sue Ellspermann, candidate for the District 74 seat in the Indiana House of Representatives, will host a listening session in Perry County from 7 to 8 p.m. today at the Tell City-Perry County Public Library.
The public is invited to attend and share their thoughts and opinions about the future of Perry County and their expectations for their legislator. Ellspermann, the founding director of the Center for Applied Research at the University of Southern Indiana, will facilitate the session.
TELL CITY - The Golden Living Center-Lincoln Hills will hold its annual resident council Christmas bazaar from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday at the center, located at 402 19th St. in Tell City.
Craft items, new and gently used items, candy, baked goods and more will be for sale. Proceeds will go to the Golden Living Center-Lincoln Hills resident council.
NEW BOSTON - St. John's Lutheran Church, one half-mile west of New Boston, will hold a Christmas bazaar from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Items include crafts, needle work, apple dumplings and homemade candies. Baked goods will include springerles, turnip kraut, turnip slaw, jellies, produce and more.
Soups, sandwiches and pie will be available throughout the day. Special soup will be sold by the gallon; anyone interested in purchasing a gallon must bring their own container. Everyone is welcome to the event.
TELL CITY - "Have you admired the beautiful landscaping around the Lutheran Church on 12th Street (or) walked the new Perry County Greenway?" asked Tell City High School senior Alex Flynn.
TELL CITY - Tell City's advisory plan commission made quick work of three requests during their regular meeting Nov. 12.
First on the agenda was a request by Automated Routing to vacate an alley between Blum and Gutenberg streets that passes between buildings it has purchased from Swiss Plywood. Automated Routing's Justin Schaefer said vacating the alley would eliminate traffic concerns and allow the company to install large commercial doors that would still allow access for company vehicles and city utility trucks. The city will maintain utility lines in the area.
PERRY COUNTY - Sleigh bells will ring Friday and Sunday as Santa Claus, himself, visits Perry County for a pair of weekend parades. Cannelton's parade Friday, sponsored by Harry G. Myers American Legion Post 142 and its auxiliary and Sons of the American Legion detachment, will begin at 7 p.m.
Lineup will begin at 6 p.m. on Old Indiana 237 across from Canary's Power Equipment. The parade route will proceed along Indiana 66 to the stop light at Washington Street, where entries will turn right and proceed to First Street by the floodwall, where they will disband.
TELL CITY - "We had a pretty bad year on health insurance" in 2009, Pete Franzman told county commissioners Nov. 18, introducing his discussion of proposals for 2010.
More than $300,000 of last year's expenses "bled over" into this year, he said at the commissioners' regular meeting, and this year featured a lot of large, medium and small claims.
ST. CROIX - A national organization working to increase the number of high-school students entering high-tech fields worked with a group of Perry County students this fall.
Project Lead the Way is a national nonprofit organization established to help schools give students the knowledge they need to excel in high-tech fields. Studies of PLTW's curriculum have proven that students become the kind of prepared, competent, high-tech employees the nation needs to stay competitive in the global market.
JASPER - In an effort to prevent injuries and fatalities on Indiana's roadways this week, the Indiana State Police and more than 250 other law enforcement agencies throughout the state are participating in a Safe Family Travel enforcement blitz.
The effort continues through Sunday and troopers will have the opportunity to work overtime to ensure safe travel during this dangerous holiday travel time.
TELL CITY - Six juveniles face possible charges for allegedly breaking into Tell City Chair Co.'s building along Seventh Street, where they allegedly stole items and vandalized the building's interior.

MicroRNA-103 Promotes Colorectal Cancer by Targeting Tumor Suppressor DICER and PTEN
AbstractMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, noncoding RNAs that act as key regulators in various physiological and pathological processes. However, the regulatory mechanisms for miRNAs in colorectal cancer remain largely unknown. Here, we found that miR-103 is up-regulated in colorectal cancer and its overexpression is closely associated with tumor proliferation and migration. In addition, repressing the expression of miR-103 apparently inhibits colorectal cancer cell proliferation and migration in vitro and HCT-116 xenograft tumor growth in vivo. Subsequent software analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay identified two tumor suppressor genes DICER and PTEN as direct targets of miR-103, and up-regulation of DICER and PTEN obtained similar results to that occurred in the silencing of miR-103. In addition, restoration of DICER and PTEN can inhibit miR-103-induced colorectal cancer cell proliferation and migration. Our data collectively demonstrate that miR-103 is an oncogene miRNA that promotes colorectal cancer proliferation and migration through down-regulation of the tumor suppressor genes DICER and PTEN. Thus, miR-103 may represent a new potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for colorectal cancer treatment.

This is both a venting and seeking advice.
DH has developed a bad habit of constantly checking his phone and/or his laptop when he's home in the evenings. It drives me crazy because we both work full time and only see DD in the evening. And, he coaches football so there are two days of the week that he doesn't even see her at all.
He's on his phone or the computer right when he gets home. He's online while we eat dinner (we let DD watch a show while we eat...bad habit, I know). He's online after dinner. I give DD a bath and he's online the whole time in the living room. I take a shower and come out and he's online again while she either sits by herself and looks at books or plays on the iPad by herself. He's online after she goes to bed. Do you see a pattern here?!?!
I glare at him, I give him dirty looks, I've asked him nicely to please turn off the computer. I make rude comments about him being on the computer. He always has some dumb excuse "I'm just sending a work email", or "I'm working on blah blah for work" or "I'm watching a video of one of my students". I'm sick and tired of it. I understand that he likes to go on ESPN or other websites. For a small time period each day that is fine. But I don't know what else to do to get him to cut down his time.
If I say something, he acuses me of doing the same thing. I disagree with him because 1) I work and have access to the internet all day, so therefore I get most of my time in during the day. Sometimes the last thing I want to do is be on the computer at night. 2) I've tried to be conscious about checking my phone when she's around. I'll check my Facebook once after dinner and then I put it away.
He always has some stupid comeback or he tries to shift the problem back on me. It's honestly starting to drive me crazy because I feel like he's neglecting his time with her. Work stuff can wait. The college football websites can wait. Facebook can wait. UGGGH! I don't know if he's bored with being a parent or what the problem is
DH is addicted to his phone & computer
This is both a venting and seeking advice.
Comments (7)
I have this same issue with DH but to a lesser extent. Some days he has one hour "with" her due to work and hobbies (we both are athletes and our sports and friendships with our teammates are very important to us). On days when he only has one hour, he sometimes has one eye on the game on TV, or is texting back and forth with a friend the whole time.
DD doesn't say anything, but I finally had a heart to heart and asked him that during that very limited time, if he could focus all his attention on DD it would benefit everyone involved! He told me he honestly didn't even really realize he was doing it or that it bothered me. I felt much better after talking.
I also read somewhere that one of the biggest complaints that kids (of all ages) have about their parents is that they are physically there, but not "all" there when the parents are with them, due to constantly checking or working on smartphones and laptops or the Bluetooth in the ear. Their #1 wish was that one-on-one parent time could be just that, with no interruptions. Because everyone's lives are so hectic, that time is so much more precious.
I would sit down wtih him after DD is in bed and explain everything you explained here (without judging or seeming rude). He may literally not realize how much time he spends doing it. You can ask if he can make an effort to set aside a little time each day that is he completely disconnected from everything except DD and just concentrate on her.
Good luck!!
my DH is the same way. I told him one day that all he does is fuck around on his phone/ipad the entire time we are home together. DD would bring him a book to read to her and he would say "book" then set it down... seriously? I told him about it and he started paying a little more attention to DD every once in a while. I still come home to find him laying or sitting on the couch with the TV blairing, phone in hand and DD playing by herself.
I say let him know that he is on the phone way too much and that he is missing out on spending time with you LO. It might help. Just don't do it in a nagging way or a fighting way.
Yes DH still fucks around on the phone/ipad most of the day but now he does activly play with DD for a little bit. They have a game they play together called "I got you" LOL it is so cute watching them play and bond. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being something that makes me extreamly happy, DH paying attention to DD is an 8.
Now if only I could find a way to make him stop blairing the TV. I don't mind the TV on but I don't like that I have to yell over it to be herd. Sometimes I go to bed early because my ears hurt....
Scarlett is my Hero.
I know I cannot spell - get over it already. Nobody is perfect like you.
I regret giving DH the Google Nexus tablet for his birthday. He is on it ALL the time--he goes to bed with it and it's the first thing he grabs when he wakes up, even before he gets out of bed--needless to say that he's on it all the freekin' time during the day, too. It annoys me--maybe I am lacking some social component in my mental makeup, but social media, playing around online--that stuff just is not important to me, but even though I try to understand that some people really enjoy it and allow for that--he still annoys me that he's joined at the hip with that thing. He does sometimes ignore DS and that's even worse--I just don't get it.
Sometimes I get mad and just tell him to get off it already, but it doesn't last long--he is really addicted!
Xtina + Mike 12/14/96 + baby J makes 3 on 11/25/08!
I doubt it's boredom. I think this is pretty common. Rather than glare at him and give him dirty looks (which I can totally understand why you do it), why not talk to him when it's just you two and you raise the issue to him in a calm manner. Maybe sit down with glasses of wine and tell him what you told us here: You both work full time, that you see DD only in the evenings, and he coaches football and you would like there to be just family time. Ask him how you all can do this without your feeling like he's giving the computer more importance than your family. See what he says. But have some ideas on how to address it. "You can be on the computer while I give DD a bath" but before and after that, it's family time. That's a compromise.
My hubby used to be horrible about it, and I called him on it and it got much better. But it's starting to happen again, so I figure another talk is coming. Try to make an agreement with him that NONE of you have screen time between certain hours. And remind him that he only has this time with her once......before he knows it, she's going to grow up and not want to hang out with either of you. My hubby finally has realized what he missed out on, and now I think it makes him sad because our little boy prefers me to do things with him over my hubby. Time goes too fast. The sports story or the video will be there after she goes to sleep. That hug and kiss and snuggle time she wants is fleeting. Good luck.
Myers....my little IVF miracle!! :)
My DH owns his own software business so he tends to be tethered to technology -- he's never really "off" work. Before DD was born we had a serious talk about it and he agreed to set time aside to really be with her. Sometimes this means we have less time together, but for right now it's worth it. So every morning after I go to work he spends two hours, computer-free, with her before the nanny comes.He complained at first, but he's starting to see the value in it. And knowing he is taking that time makes me step it up and resist the urge to pull out the phone when I'm with he. Talk to your DH seriously -- maybe you could come up with a compromise.

Matthew Johns: Des Hasler has moulded an unconventional Bulldogs team into a winning unit
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- July 20, 2012
DES Hasler's achievements with the Bulldogs are nothing short of remarkable. He inherited a squad with no established halves combination, an inconsistent forward pack and a talented but enigmatic fullback.
Last October people were saying, "He's left the premiers for this lot?" Yet with the finals now in sight, Hasler has "this lot" as equal competition favourites.
Individually, the improvement among the players has been astounding. Sam Kasiano is the biggest halfback in the competition. Did anyone know this bloke had such skill, vision and awareness of where the ball needs to go?
Josh Morris' career appeared to have plateaued only a season or two back. Now he is the best strike centre in the NRL.
And what about Josh Reynolds? He began the year as a young player of some promise, although no one was quite sure what position he best played. Was he a hooker? A five-eighth? He is a gem - and the best natural competitor I've seen enter the game for many years.
Then there's Ben Barba. What a phenomenon. Barba is enjoying a run of form that I can only compare to that of Jarryd Hayne in 2009.
If Barba's form holds he'll be wearing the Dally M Medal.
But what's most impressive at the Bulldogs this season is how Des has moulded together an unconventional squad and got them playing winning football with an unconventional style.
While most NRL coaches are content to play nothing more than a watered down, pale imitation of what the Melbourne Storm have been doing for almost a decade, Hasler has dared to be different.
With a five-eighth and halfback who aren't what you'd call a natural ball-handling halves combination, it's the Dogs' big men who give the team direction and an attacking threat with their short passing in the middle third, while Barba, Reynolds and Kris Keating provide an option in behind.
If a defence slides to cover the threat "in behind", the big men like Frank Pritchard will blast through. If you squeeze in to cover the threat of the big men, they will pass in behind to Barba who will strip you short of numbers with speed or skill.
Even though Hasler won two competitions at Manly, it's his contribution to the Dogs that shows how tactically astute he really is.
It's one thing to have smart tactics, another to get players to buy in to what you're doing. And these Bulldogs players have bought into Hasler big time.
Talk to Hasler's teammates at Manly during the '80s and '90s and they'll tell you it was Des who showed them what professionalism was all about.
At the end of a long training session, as all the players were enjoying a cold beer in the sheds, Des would remain out on the oval doing sprints up Brookvale Hill and performing what the players described at the time as "these weird kangaroo jumps over a dozen hurdles". A couple of years later everyone was doing those "weird kangaroo jumps", better known as plyometrics.
In 1997 two of my Knights teammates and I travelled down to Parramatta for an ARL junior coaching day. We were driving along the Great Western Highway when one of my teammates pointed and said, "Have a look at this bloke."
On a patch of grass just to the side of the highway was a blonde-headed bloke jumping forwards and backwards over some hurdles. He was wearing a Magpies training top and looked remarkably like Des Hasler.
When we arrived at Parramatta I ran into Wests hooker Cherry Mescia and told him that I saw some lunatic who looked like Des doing plyometrics on the side of the road. Cherry confirmed it was Des.
About three years ago I told this story to Des' wife, Chris. She laughed, rolled her eyes and told me that even when the family would go on a nice Sunday drive, if Des spotted an oval he would pull over, get out of the car and put himself through a workout that would render him physically sick.
Is it any wonder Des has achieved such success, both as a player and now as a coach?
He understands success.
He knows success isn't something that is magically discovered or suddenly appears. Success comes at a price, its currency is sweat and blood.
I'll never forget the day the great Malcolm Reilly, another Manly legend, walked in to coach us at Newcastle. It was 1995 and for our first training session Malcolm took the entire squad to Newcastle Racecourse.
He ordered us to go over to the 1200m mark and for the next hour we did 1.2km sprints to the winning post over and over again.
We had never trained so hard or enthusiastically. As we finished our last monumental effort, Malcolm turned on his heel, hopped in his car and left. Not a word.
We were left sprawled out in exhaustion on the racecourse, safe in the knowledge that our new coach would have been impressed with our training efforts.
The next day every member of the squad was given a handwritten letter from Malcolm. He wrote of his disappointment and disgust at our level of commitment. He wrote that he expected more, much more and if we didn't deliver, he'd find players who would.
That letter marked a turning point for us as a group of players. Here was a coach who knew what it took to be successful.
I see similarities between Malcolm Reilly and Des Hasler. As coaches, they don't rely on big speeches, fancy quotes or stupid mind games. They simply expect more.

I came to AVODAH looking for a young, progressive Jewish community and to work with an organization whose central mission is to fight for social justice. The communities that I've had the opportunity to be a part of through my time in this program have taught me how to be a stronger advocate for social change."

I set out to try and make a closed 2-seater with doors. I finally came up with a design I like. As always, I couldn´t help making variations, so it came to be 5 in all. Link to the LDD file is at the bottom of this post.
I have not built these for real, but I have done my best to design them so that they actually work and are stable. Also the colors used should be availible for all parts. I apologize if there should be a slip-up in there.
I present these as a set of ideas for anyone interested in making cars in this scale to be used freely. Perhaps they can inspire to some designs of your own, or give you some ideas.
First an overview picture of the 5 models:
This red car was the first I made. The cabin is built as 5 wide, transforming into 6 wide around it. This means a sparse interior design as I wanted to make it as solid as possible. It does however provide for minifigs to be placed as low as possible in the car.
The blue car is a convertible version of the coupe design. It uses a 6 wide design all way through, real doors and has the standard edition dashboard design I like to use (you can see it up close in the white car). Due to it beeing a convertible, I allowed myself to raise the seating 1/3 brick (used in all the convertibles). This make it much easier to build a stable bottom. It also allows for 2 figs to be seated next to each other, provided you arrange their arms in the same way as in the LDD file. This I HAVE tested in real bricks, and there is a bit of wiggle room so you do not have to cram them in there.
It was rather diffecult to come up with a caleche design I liked but I think it strikes a nice middle ground. Also headrests!
Obviously, I had to try a beefed up police interceptor version. Supercharged with a spoiler in the back and upgraded exhaust system.
I like the interior in this one. I could not find any printed tile that shows a monitor for the computer and the 2w cheese pieces also do not come with a dashboard print, but perhaps you can make your own if you really feel like it. These are cops after all, so I figured the cup would do as 1 part of the coffee & donut duo.
I had to also try some designs with the slightly smaller wheels. It came out to be 2 versions.
The orange car is a sporty open car with the same removeable roof design as a Ferrari 308 or a Pontiac Trans-Am. I like the seats in this design.
This white car is a more relaxed cruiser type. The grilles on the front bumper unfortunately do not come in light bluish grey, but perhaps they will someday. The design reminds my slightly of a 1966 Pontiac Bonneville.
Feel free to have a look at the LDD file here - , and let me know if these designs works. - Updated 9 may 2012
I myself have very few lego pieces so I would have to get the needed parts exclusively through bricklink. I´m also on a limited budget so I will probably wait until I have some of my other designs ready and evaluate what I can afford to get at a later date.
I love designing through.

The main threat to River Otters are water pollution and habitat destruction.
It's our annual Toys drive, and this year we're stuffing a truck courtesy of Two Men and a Truck! On December 3rd, each person who brings in a new, unwrapped toy will be admitted to Wonderland of Lights for free.
In addition to visiting Santa and Mrs. Claus, we'll have cookie decorating, animal presentations, and live broadcasting from radio stations. This will be a great night supporting a great cause!
