AMC's original series The Walking Dead returns. The intense season finale left Rick and the group outgunned, outnumbered, and trapped in a boxcar awaiting a grim fate. Season 5 weaves together the true motives of the people of Terminus with the fate of the group's lost members and the hopeful prospect of a cure in Washington, D.C. New conflicts and obstacles arise in keeping everyone together and staying alive. Hunt or be hunted. FIRST EPISODE AVAILABLE 10/13. watch
AMC has set the fifth season premiere date for The Walking Dead.
Robert Kirkman's zombie drama will return for it is fifth season on Sunday, Oct. 12 at 9/8c, it was announced at Comic-Con on Friday.
The fifth season will pick up with the group still at Terminus, though the producers still would not confirm that the Termites are the ruthless cannibals of the comics. But it won't be long before we find out! "We're going to see the story of Terminus," Kirkman told the crowd. "We're going to see how it happened."
Get the latest news from Comic-Con
However, the new trailer for Season 5 seemed to hint towards them being cannibals, with our group of heroes being lined up for the slaughter before Bob (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.) convinces Gareth (Andrew J. West) that they need to go to Washington, D.C. so Eugene (Josh McDermitt) can provide the right people with the cure. On the plus side, Beth (Emily Kinney) was not on that BBQ! Sadly, she seems to be in a juvenile correction center with a very violent corrections officer.
Demons are the new zombies — at least according to Robert Kirkman. The Walking Dead creator made that declaration Friday at Comic-Con when announcing that a pilot for an adaptation of his latest comic, Outcast, was in pre-production at Cinemax.

The survivors of The Walking Dead have found themselves in yet another perilous position.
During Sunday's season finale, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his small group made their way to Terminus, a community that promised safety for all those who arrived. Once the group learned just how much of a lie that was, they quickly tried to make a run for it. But they ended up being forced by Terminus leader Gareth (Andrew J. West) into a train car, where they were reunited with Glenn (Steven Yeun), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Bob (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.). Suffice it to say, Gareth and the people of Terminus are not allies.

Berkeley Springs International LLC opens a new research and development facility this week in Berkeley Springs.
"We signed a lease last Friday, and we move in this Wednesday," said BSI President Gene Silverman on April 1.
The expansion comes thanks in part to a $1 million loan, half from the INNOVA Commercialization Group and half from the West Virginia Jobs Investment Trust.
Work at the new facility will focus initially on improvements to the company's Eagle Array pipeline and tank integrity sensor.
The Eagle Array Sensor combines several current technologies — solar power, ultrasound, microprocessors, wireless transmission of data and others — to monitor the thickness of oil and gas pipelines and tanks and make the data available to customers on the Internet.
Individual ultrasound units with transceivers are placed at strategic locations along a pipeline: elbows, transitions from larger to smaller diameter, intersections, Silverman explained.
"We program our electronics board, which we design and build ourselves, to take readings on a predefined schedule," he said. "The data goes through the wireless transceiver to the cell tower and from there we get onto the Internet. Customers can log on to our file server any time they want to look at all their pipes."
Because the units don't have to be welded or attached to the pipeline in any permanent way, the monitoring units can be moved from site to site if needed.
Customers buy or lease the units, Silverman said.
Although he did not want to put a specific price tag on an installation, he characterized it as affordable: depending on need, perhaps as low as a few thousand dollars a year for a lease.
The application relies on current technology, but Silverman sees those advancements mainly as a way to get the hardware out of the way of the information.
"What's really important is the way the information is gathered, consolidated and displayed to the user," he said. "Part of our job is, how do you select components and develop very fast installation techniques so you can reduce the price to where there's no excuse not to have these? Where they're almost expendable — like cell phones?"
Continuing to refine the hardware is part of what the new facility at Berkeley Springs, and the new financing, will allow the company to pursue.
Also in development at Berkeley Springs will be technologies for expanding the area of coverage, detecting the flow rate within a pipeline and determining the viscosity of a fluid inside a pipe.
BSI's current work builds on work Silverman did for decades in robotic devices for the inspection of above-ground storage tanks. He started the current incarnation of the company in 2007 in Paw Paw, moved it to Berkeley Springs in 2009 and to Cumberland, Md. in 2012. The company currently employs 10, and the new research and development facility will start out with three recent hires and two more technicians to be hired.
"This critical technology could safeguard the use of approximately 2.5 million miles of pipelines crisscrossing the nation," said INNOVA Director Guy Peduto.
West Virginia JIT Executive Director Andy Zulauf expressed his satisfaction that the financing will enable BSI to place its new facility in West Virginia and to hire local, highly skilled workers.
BSI already has customers that include major oil producers and refineries.
Although his company's technology is timely, Silverman attributes that in part to luck.
"Pipelines are everywhere in this country and they'll continue to be used for decades to come — so to me, the market was very clear," he said.
"But the fracking piece was serendipity," he said of the advances in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling that have led to a renaissance in U.S. oil and gas production. "We're just in the right place at the right time."
While pipeline explosions such as the one that took place at the Kanawha County community of Sissonville in December are relatively rare, Silverman feels BSI's technology will benefit the oil and gas industry, but also the public.
"I think this could be a very effective tool to provide the public with a little more confidence that the industry is doing its job to keep an eye on the mechanical integrity of their assets," he said.

Multi-language broke when SS upgraded
26 May 2009 at 4:23pm
A site I have developed was upgraded to V2.3.0 RC3 to get PayPal working in the ecommerce module. This upgrade was done by someone with a great deal more experience than I with SS.
Prior to the upgrade French, German & Spanish as well as English languages had ben implemented and were working well.
After the upgrade, the English (default) version works well, but none of the other languages now work. Whe you change to one of the other languages, you get an SQL error displayed.
Go to http://imageslasertek.co.nz/?lang=en and try changing to one of the other languages.
Any ideas on what I need to do to fix this? Would an upgrade to 2.3.1 fix the problem? Given this problem arose from a version upgrade, I am a little reluctant to jump in and do an upgrade without knowing it will be ok
Cheers for you help

V2.3.0 RC3 is oooold, why not upgrade to a recent version? Stable is 2.3.1, and 2.3.2 RC1 is out too.
If you look around in this forum just a little you might notice that translatable is broken in 2.3.0 and 2.3.1, causing the problems you see.
Good news is that SS 2.3.2 has it fixed,and improved, so upgrade to that, and it should work again. However the translatable concept has changed, so it will not be an easy and automatic upgrade, you might have to manually transfer the translated pages.
Re: Multi-language broke when SS upgraded
31 May 2009 at 12:29pm
Thanks for the comment
I was hoping something like this might be the case. I had been unable to find any reference to multi-language being broken or anything related.
I have since upgraded to 2.3.1 (it is the stable release at this time) and this has not fixed the problem. I will try the release of 2.3.2, and see what happens.
Re: Multi-language broke when SS upgraded
31 May 2009 at 7:06pm
I have upgraded to 2.3.2 rc2 However, the other languages still do not work.
I also am unable to log in to the admin side???????
You can check it out at dev.imageslasertek.co.nz
Any thoughts will be most appreciated

Further progress. After finally completing the upgrade (For future reference, don't get distracted in the middle so you don't forget some folders etc) I no longer get errors when I try to change languages but they still don't work.
However I am unable to log in to admin. Am now heading off to look for ideas on forums to solve this logging in problem.

Did you read the upgrading notes? http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=upgrading:2.3.2
Re: Multi-language broke when SS upgraded
2 June 2009 at 10:21am
Yep. I did eventually and found the translate process required.
I have done the translate process and am able to log in to admin, see the different language pages etc. But when you select a different language in the front end you get the english displayed.
Has the method of changing language changed from the ?lang=fr etc?

U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss on Thursday apologized to the author of a gay-oriented blog for a threatening slur posted from his office, declaring, "All [gays] must die."
In a prepared statement, Chambliss also spoke of the immediate "removal" of a staff member – who was not identified.
The wording is important. We're picking up that the staffer was a military liaison assigned by the Pentagon — a fact that Chambliss' office would not confirm.
A staffer under Chambliss' direct employ would have been fired. A staffer under another entity's supervision would be reassigned. Or removed. (My AJC colleague Bob Keefe pinned down the fact that the computer used was located in Chambliss's Washington office.)
The blog comment at issue was left Sept. 21 on a discussion of whether gays and lesbians should be able to serve openly in the military on "Joe.My.Blog," a site operated by Joe Jervis of New York City – perhaps an hour after the U.S. Senate turned away an attempt to repeal "don't ask, don't tell."
Blog participants quickly tracked the Internet Protocol address to Chambliss' office.
Chambliss last week condemned the comment, and requested an investigation by the U.S. Senate sergeant-at-arms, who acts as the chamber's top law enforcement officer.
The statement from Chambliss' office:
"The office of the Senate Sergeant at Arms has concluded its investigation, and I responded to that report immediately with the removal of a member of my staff. I commend the Sergeant at Arms, Terrance Gainer, and his staff for their very thorough and professional work.
"I have called Mr. Jervis, the blog's author, and apologized to him personally, and I am sorry for the hurt this incident has caused. Regardless of one's position on issues and policies, such comments are simply unacceptable, are not befitting those who work in the U.S. Senate, and I will not tolerate them from my staff."
Jervis, who monitors JoeMyGod, confirmed his conversation with Chambliss and paraphrased the senator's remarks:
"He said, 'Joe, I don't know if you're Republican or Democrat, or liberal or conservative. But none of that should matter because what was said on your blog shouldn't be said to anybody by anybody. And I want to offer my sincerest apologies.'
"He said, 'There's been a lot of criticism about why it's taken so long to bring this to a resolution. But this is something that's going to dramatically affect someone's life, and we had to make sure we got it exactly right.'"
Jervis accepted Chambliss' apology.
"I consider the matter closed. The gentleman is no longer in Chambliss' office," he said. "I'm pretty sure if he were a direct Chambliss hire, we would know his name. I don't think he was Chambliss' to fire.
"I was never calling for this guy's head. I just wanted the senator himself to address the issue and say that this can't happen in my office. He has done that."

He doesn't get any credit. It took him this long to do something that could have been done in a very short period of time. And had the media not got on his case, he would have probably done nothing. What has chambliss done for the state of Georgia? Name 5 great accomplishments. He's terrible.

Reassigned means the person is still making a living of my tax dollars, and that's not a good enough punishment.
I want to know this person was F.I.R.E.D, and no longer drawing a salary from the Treasury of the United States of America.

The largest industry in GA is agriculture. The AJC recently reported that about half of farm labor is illegal. Although Chambliss talks tough on illegal immigration, he will never do anything. Who would pick the harvest on his South GA peach plantation?? I am so sick of these conflicted pols.

Good job to Chambliss for doing…..what he basically had not choice about. What else was he gonna do? Keep the person on staff and slap him/her on the wrist?
September 30th, 2010
5:17 pm
Does the reassigned person get named? How do we know it was a liason from another department if he is not named? Could be a way to get the military guy to do as trained and take the fall based on his commander's say so. Then again I doubt a highly placed staffer would have been dumb enough to post that comment from a senate computer.

Now I wonder, why does a do-nothing, no accomplishments senator like Chambliss need a staff of 42 people to "advise" him? Do all politicians elected to Congress maintain similar private bureaucracies at the public expense?
Now, there's a topic worth pursuing by the Political Insider!

Gay people, please get over your narcissistic selves.
Nobody cares about what you do in your bedroom, but most people are tired of you parading around and shoving your like style in our faces.

Usmc Dawg. Real men are not threatened by gay people and do not find the need to abuse them verbally or physically. Sounds to me like you have some inherent issues you may want to deal with.
September 30th, 2010
6:05 pm
Notice it says that this fool was "removed" from Chambliss' office. Hmm. That means he was likely reassigned and is still drawing a paycheck funded by the taxpayer. Since he is on the public payroll, this guy should be identified AND further disciplined. If he is military, he should be court-martialed and punished.

No surprised coming from a so-called conservative's office. And I can guarantee you that whoever made that slur is gay himself. It always turns out that those who complain the most about gays are closeted homosexuals. A study at UGA even confirmed this.
September 30th, 2010
6:12 pm
I appreciate what has all indications of being a sincere apology. But I pose this question; If the staffer had used the "N" word instead of the "F" word and said they all should die, would it have taken this long and the offender remain unnamed?
September 30th, 2010
6:14 pm
Hey! Thanks for the comment…breeders is messy, though! He don't sound gay, to me, he doesn't even sound mildly amused…closeted and getting bent out of shape about it…been my experience that this is true…
September 30th, 2010
6:14 pm
Why is the name of the "staffer" being withheld….why is he being protected by a United States Senator? Is this appropriate and responsible behavior by an elected official…to protect the person who has at the very least tried to defame others and at worst threatened the life of others….Chambliss by concealing the name of this "staffer" is no longer an innocent party regarding this behavior.

Hey USMC Dawg: Get over your narcisistic self. Most people are in the military because they ran out of options.
September 30th, 2010

I bet that ruffled your feathers, eh USMC Dawg? By the way, I'm kidding. The military is great, but I wanted to see if you could take what you dish out.
September 30th, 2010
6:18 pm
Although I have absolutely no use for Chambliss, I will give him credit for immediately reporting the slur and following through.
I guess this is one time that the Senator did not support "Don't ask, don't tell"!!
September 30th, 2010
6:26 pm
Last Man Standing is Right on,
Those of you who want the offender to be drawn and quartered, hanged, then burned and electrocuted should consider the idea that the individual is likely subject to the rules provided under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (such as § 917 Article 117 "Provoking speeches or gestures" or § 933 Article 133 "Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman").
The incident was investigated by the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate and any punishment levied would likely be meted out by the individual's commanding officer who presumably works at the Pentagon.
But for libs who disdain the military and prefer uniformed military offers to serve Democrat party officials wine and cheese during White House parties, you won't get it.
So keep insisting that Chambliss apologize in-person to every gay American and pout your lips with indignation and utter "why WASN'T he fired" ad infinitum.
Then call Harry Reid's office and ask him when he plans to apologize to 170 million American females for objectifying women for referring to a female United States Senator as "hot". While he's on the phone, ask him when he plans to apologize to 40 million African-Americans for speaking about President Obama's "Negro dialect."
I suppose if one is African-American AND female, then Mr. Reid owes you 2 phone calls or 2 personal apologies.

"All [gays] must die"; how is anyone who would think these thoughts fit for any government duty? A long hospital stay, with loads of counseling, might be able to provide insight to psychiatric doctors as to how ill, this person actually is. A medical discharge may be in order. And, if this individual has under aged children, DFACS should be called in, as well.
Well wishes for his, or her, recovery.
September 30th, 2010

as they might say in the service the offender has "sh!t for brains" and needs to be demoted

September 30th, 2010

All you liberal sissies need to stop getting your panties in a bunch. What the staffer said was taken out of context, he simply meant that all people must die eventually gay straight black white and so on. At what point will you weak wristed people think you have outplayed your hand and your pathetic gripes will fall on deaf ears,you already have no sympathy for anyone elses feelings when we are subjected to village people reenactments are paraded down peachtree. This is supposed to be a free country you have your opinions let this staffer have his and d@mn having to appologise for them.

I must say Chambliss handled this well, and I had not expected that. Suxby, I'm proud of you for the first time ever, and will have to reconsider call you Senator Shameless when I vote against you. You did right by humanity and Georgia. thank you.

Let's try a "shoe on the other foot" test. Would you, USMC dawg, take offense if someone went onto a blog about the Marine Corps and wrote "Kill All The Marines!" and just to be a bit more provocative, signed it "Osama bin Laden". And let's say, just to take it further, that you found out that whoever did that was in the employ of Al Franken.
It wouldn't bother you in the slightest? You wouldn't give it a second thought?

Uh… RGB… Reid did not issue a death threat to American women or the President. Apply some perspective to your hatred please.

Thanks for explaining Imelda. I explained the UCMJ and the military chain-of-command. Where have I engaged in hatred? I haven't.
So one is only required to apologize after making death threats?
To clarify–and based on your comments–objectification of women and denigration of minorities is OK to you provided one doesn't "issue a death threat".
Thanks for clarifying your moral compass for all of us.
Please stop hating women and African-Americans by trivializing insults to these significant groups of Americans.

Say what? Oy, Mate, you're a piece of work! You know what? You wouldn't know a gay person if s/he was sitting right next to you 99 times out of a hundred…we know "y'all" a lot better than you think we do. Because you don't recognize us, you aren't very discreet in what you say. The other side of that, my straight friends, is that we also get the chance to hear what y'all have to say not knowing who you're talking to, and it's good to hear. And there's a lot more of y'all than there are of the fed ups.

@Fed up – "All f*** must die" is not "out of context", You, however, are out of your m,id. No one is going to miss that mentality when you are gone. Good riddance.

I'm glad that he's gone from Chambliss office but he should be named. What happened to personnel responsibility and transparency. Is this okay if you are Republican?

:: A new poll of US citizens found that a majority of us just plain do not like Justin Bieber (54% unfavorability rating, 20% likablity). Same goes for Chris Brown (shocker!), who scored a whopping 57% on the unfavorable scale. The best-scoring pop star was Adele with 54% favorability, which begs the question, who are the unfeeling psychopaths responsible for the remaining 46%? [NME]
:: The lovely Solange has launched her own label, Saint Records. It'll be distributed through Sony and she'll put her forthcoming album out on it. [Billboard]
:: Maroon 5 are heading on tour with Kelly Clarkson this summer, and frontman Adam Levine says it will be unlike any other M5 trek. Levine told Ryan Seacrest, "I think the scene of this tour is going to be hip hop … we're working in some amazing things that I don't want to talk about." So, get ready for whatever that means!

:: Gucci Mane has pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault charges. The rapper allegedly struck a man in the head with a bottle at an Atlanta nightclub in March, and was in jail for three weeks before being released on bond earlier this month. [TMZ]

We have to admit, we are a bit confused. If you remember, last month we reported that Ford would bring the new generation Focus ST to the Paris Motor Show in September. Now, Autocar reports that Ford will axe the ST version of their newest generation Focus.
And the reason for this decision is quite simple: Europe's tightening emissions standards. The Focus ST will be the second model, after the Honda Civic Type R , who will have to be axed due to the new emissions standards. The same fate will attack the 3.2 V6 in the Alfa Brera, the Mazda RX-8, and the VW Group's 5.0 V10 turbodiesel.
So, in this case, the car expected to debut in Paris will drop the usual 2.5-liter turbo five-cylinder engine and will get a new 2.0-liter direct-injection turbo engine that will deliver around 250bhp and 350Nm of torque. Derrick Kuzak said the new model will get "an EcoBoost turbocharged engine, be exciting to drive, great to look at and certainly worth waiting for".

Any home maker knows how difficult I can get to work around the kitchen alone. It can be a real drag to even enter the kitchen if one isn't feeling like it at all. And yet one has to go about the business like a job and get things done, because if not you, your family is going to have to want eat! This is just to say that housewives are essentially alone in their cooking activities and this can get a bit tiresome and annoying. So, when the home makers don't have their husbands and kids around to help them with the cooking, there is only one thing that comes to rescue: food processors.
All of us know how easy cooking becomes if we have our cooking and chopping done for us and when we don't have to labor through it. When all the difficult bits like chopping, pureeing and grating are done, all that is left to do is to cook! How easy it becomes. In such cases food processing machines like Cuisinart 14 cup food processor becomes a huge help.
This makes it easier to not just to wade through the huge pile of work waiting for us in the kitchen, but also to get our work done within the assigned time. I mean, how many times have has cooking seemed like a chore because there was not enough time or you were too exhausted to give it all. After all, a meal table is one of the few times when you and your family can come together and relax. This is when the best quality food chopper comes to the rescue and gives the homemakers the much deserved relief.
It must be noticed how easy it becomes through food processors to mix, grate, puree and grind stuff: some things that you need to do over and over again over a course of time when you are cooking. What can be done is to just keep the tomatoes pureed for later use. Or if you want a dip, just prepare it in the processor and leave it in the fridge for the guests to gorge on. This is what I do, when I have a lot of guests coming home. I just get my food processors to work and take their help as much as I can. And then, it all comes together very easy.
Sometimes my kids and my husband also wonder how I can get everything cooked in such little time and virtually no help. They marvel at my culinary skills and love me for it. I have to thank Cuisinart 7 cup food processor for this. I sure can't afford a servant or domestic help to do my work for me but food processors are such and easy thing to take help from. And of course, it helps that they can never go on leave or make excuses to not work. I love my food processors and how they can given me so much of freedom to do whatever I want in my kitchen space.

Documents To Go 11 on the TH55
Yesterday I downloaded DTG 11 and installed it on my beloved TH55.
DTG 11 works as fine as DTG 10 or DTG 9 did on the TH55, same issues with prior versions of Word To Go (10 and 9 versions) where you cannot hide the virtual graffity are in order to benefit from full screen reading or writing, if you own a portable keyboard.
Spreadsheet To Go works fine, no issues hidding the VG area but I got some resets while exiting this app.
I had no time for testing the rest of apps, may be this weekend I give it a try.
Please share your experience with DTG 11 and your TH55.
As far as I know, DTG is incompatible with Landscape utility from "mobile-stream". So if you have this utility instaled, you might have this issue...
Right, I've Landscape installed and some issues, still testing...
good find, mates. Will post to TamsPalm!
I'm totally a PALM fans, using treo650 and TT5. Recently, my TT5, who supported my study for 3 years, was unfortunately down. At first I wanna buy a CF card updated Lifedrive, but after serious consideration and reviewing many threads here especially, I got my TH55 from ebay. Although it is second-handed, so far I feel I made the best choice. Thanks for this forums and everybody here, I got a lot of useful information here.
BTW, El Maquinas, I also installed DTG11 in my TH55. Interestingly, I can use word to go in 320*480 mode. And I dont know why, I didnt change any settings at all. I dont know how to post picture here, if I figure out how Ill show you ~
Thank everyone here again ~
With best,
if you wantr to, just send the pictures to
tamog AT gmx DOT at
Please, could tell us wich TH55 do you own, there are models E1, E2, U, etc.
I think it should be U (USA, right?), with wifi and without bluetooth.
Yes if it has an English OS, the japanese version hasn't bluetooth too.

Manchester-born Tom Thorpe was unlucky to miss out on the Reserves' Player of the Year award in 2013 after a supreme season at the heart of the defence.
Revelling in his natural role at centre-back after a worthwhile stint in midfield helped hone his skills, the Under-21 captain led by example with a string of resolute performances. One of the main reasons for a run of clean sheets, he was accomplished on the ground and dominant in the air.
Lifting the Barclays Under-21 Premier League trophy after the win against Tottenham was not his first experience of picking up silverware at Old Trafford as he was also captain of the FA Youth Cup team in 2011.
Although needing to be patient as he was not initially handed a regular spot in the Reserves, at least he was able to prove his versatility by adapting to a holding midfield role. Aside from his natural defensive qualities, Tom is also assured and composed on the ball and a good passer. He is capable of bringing the ball out of defence and also offers an aerial threat from set-pieces in the opposition box.

Cupid, Take Aim at My Ex -- Please!
Once my first husband falls in love with someone else, it will be easier for me -- or so they say.
Wife #2: I was never a huge Valentine's Day person. It always felt like a greeting-card holiday to me, more cheesy than romantic. So I'm a bit surprised at myself these days, as I ponder lingerie and candlelit dinners with Husband #2. He's made my otherwise practical-girl persona go soft. And I couldn't be happier.
So this year, since my affairs of the heart are all permanently wrapped up, my Valentine's Day hopes are for my ex. If that chubby little guy with the arrow could just point and shoot in my ex's direction, I'd be eternally grateful.
People keep telling me that once my ex is in love -- or even happily in like -- things will get better. Maybe he'll stop calling me names, maybe he'll let our kids talk to me on his weekends, maybe he'll even be able to have a conversation with me about things like report cards.
Right now, all of that is impossible. There isn't an e-mail from him that doesn't call me a slut -- or worse. My children say they can't phone me when they're with him, because he either doesn't allow it or he makes them feel so guilty they just don't try.
I know I hurt my ex immeasurably by leaving our marriage for another man. But how many years will it be before we can just reasonably co-parent?
Husband #2 is much more Zen about this, though his ex behaves much the same way mine does. As he sees it, anger and bitterness just can't weather the test of time. He tells me over and over that eventually our former spouses will ease up, as they fall in love and move on.
But I'm not so sure. And that's what scares me.
Divorce agreements can dictate how much time we get with the kids, how much child support is paid and who gets what vacation. But no piece of paper can mandate good parenting. It can't possibly be healthy for my children to feel guilty for talking to their mom, but there's almost nothing I can do about it. At the same time, my ex would say it's not healthy for our kids to have divorced parents. And there's nothing he can do about that, either.
I've thought about going back to the lawyers to force some of these issues. And in my most frustrated moments, I still consider it. But legal wrangling isn't the fix. What I really need from my ex is a little bit of goodwill and acceptance. That may never happen if he's always defined by the pain of our broken marriage. And the real tragedy is for our children, who'll grow up watching the father they love actively hate the mother they love.
I want my ex to be happy. I hope he falls head-over-heels with someone who's more what he needs than I was (an amazing cook who's obsessively punctual and not too chatty would work for him). I hope he has bed-rocking sex and belly laughs before and after. I want that for his sake and for our kids'. Still, I can't help but wonder: If love and anger are in the ring together, who's left standing?
|Wife #2 is a writer, mom and expert on what happens when you scorch the earth and leave your husband. She and the love of her life (the guy she left FOR) spend most of their time raising their blended family of five kids and trying to avoid grenades lobbed by their ex-spouses. Her hobbies include reading, working out and occasionally blowing off steam with faithful girlfriends who understand life is too damn short to be miserable!
That is a nice wish for your ex…but was just wondering if he may be taking his time or being picky due to his experience w you leaving him for another man. That emotional pain can last a very long time…and possibly affect his trust for another mate or people in general. All that anger and hurt he has from his experience of losing his wife to another man..may need lots of time to heal before he even considers a new mate. Praying for him cant hurt…
I knew as soon as I saw the headline who this was written by. I didn't even have to read the article because I knew what it would contain: I wasn't happy in my first marriage so I was totally justified in cheating on my husband, now my ex and my new stepkids hate me and love making my life difficult but OMG it's totally not my fault!
Jeez, MomLogic, are you REALLY that hard up for writers?
I can't agree more with Anna! They must really need writers…
Guess what? When he does find another woman, it still won't be better for you. You cannot inflict that kind of pain on so many people and just make it go away. You will be feeling the repercussions of your selfish act for many years to come. You chose when to do your dirt, you don't get to choose when he gets over it. Do you think it will be "no harm, no foul" when and if he remarries?
LOL what a joke. Wife #2 I doubt wants her ex to be happy & while people fall out of love these days she bailed & in most likely cases cheated before leaving which are good for the kids & which she show how much she cared for the ex or the kids by doing. Studies have shown that divorced parents especially when cheating is involved do tend to have negative effects on children which is understandible especially because of the hurt & bitterness that goes with the break up however obviously while I agree keeping the kids from their mother or in most cases their father the fact remains that Wife #2 made her own bed or be it slept in another & has all the blame for the ex's hurt and the effect on the kids.
As someone said earlier Wife#2 hurt the ex and broke his trust broke his dreams broke he idea of a marriage and relationship & depending on how long they were together let alone including the dating put him in a state where feeling like left abandoned in a desert with no sign of life or water or shelter anywhere in any direction & a lost for how to start over. I don't remotely feel sorry for wife#2 I feel sorry for her kids & ex but she's obviously not a good example of a person let alone mother if she did what she did so they seem better off without her. There is one come problem or cause in every problem mentioned above by wife#2 & that is Wife#2 breaking up her first family especially by selfish means. I do agree the ex should be more coopertive for the sake of the kids & when it comes to parenting & obviously that parenting tie is more then the ex wants right now or at all the fact is still that she's the cause & poor example of a parent.Guys who are in her spot with or without cheating get lambasted & told they deserve what they created & yet wife#2 thinks she doesn't or that she's different which just shows how selfish she is & a bad example she is. She thinks her ex should just forget or forgive her & move on while I bet if the roles were reversed that she would be ok with someone saying she should forget or forgive him.
You don't want the courts to mandate good parenting. You want them to mandate your exes forgiving you. Nobody can do that.
The hard reality is that you hurt your husband. He may never get over it. You can't command him to feel better. You certainly can't set the timetable here - divorce is like having somebody die. Most people take 2-5 years to get over it. Some don't really. I suspect that when divorce is due to a betrayal, it probably takes longer to get over and love again.
Even if he is happy someday, he may not forgive you. God can forgive anything, but most people won't forgive you unless you're sorry. You aren't.
If you really want forgiveness, you need to acknowledge your faults and errors more. You need to focus on how bad your husband feels. Truly try to make him feel better. If there's nothing you can do to make him feel better without going back to him, stay away from him. The same goes for your current husband's ex-wife.
Considering that everything she writes is sh*t, Wife #2 is quite the appropriate pen name…
I can honestly say that I too wish my ex would find a valentine. I am divorced and have moved on and am happy and in love and re-married with a beautiful daughter. However, my ex and I can still tolerate each other as co-parents just fine as we have a son together. I can honestly say that I cannot wait for the day he finds "the one" and can have what I have. Happiness. We didn't have much of that together and I think it would great for my son to see his Dad happy with another woman. Would prefer that he could just skip all the icky girls and head straight to "the one" for my Son's sake, but don't think that will happen. Trial and error, right? Anyway, sometimes people do wish their exes love and happiness. Not all break ups have to be tragic. Live and learn. I realize this woman left her hubby for another man, but everything really does happen for a reason. Live and let live. I hope her ex finds someone he loves and trusts.
"Maybe he'll stop calling me names, maybe he'll let our kids talk to me on his weekends"
Regardless if he finds love or not, you don't deserve his forgiveness NOR do you deserve to speak to HIS children on the weekends. You were a horrible "mother" who chose to cheat on her spouse and her children. You've made your bed - enjoy it.
Please momlogic- this disgusting excuse for a woman should not be allowed to print this type of trash any longer.
You are going to end up very unhappy and for that I actually feel bad for you. Your children and ex are victims, but in the end you will be the one that suffers most. Enjoy this brief period of "being in love" because it won't last. Love is an action word not a feeling. We choose to love and act it out. One day the romantic feelings fade, and since this relationship is not built on anything other than lust, you will have a very rude awakening. I predict divorce #2 in your future and you will end up all alone. Your ex will find someone who is committed to him and end up the happy one. Seen this happen too many times before….the writing is on the wall.
It's great that she wishes him the best, but it's true as much as women take infidelity hard, men take it even harder a lot of times because women are usually more forgiving. Women take it that the other woman must be better, prettier, etc., then come to the conclusion that it isn't their fault.
However, men take it that they're not a good enough man themselves. It wrecks their self esteem and makes them distrustful of ALL women.
In his time he will move on, but he may never view her betrayal as ok enough to have even kind words for her as long as he lives & that's something she can't control. When you mess up, it's rather nervy to tell someone else when to get over it because you're tired of feeling guilty!
More than likely eventually she'll end up alone while her ex really moves on & her current finds someone else. Since women are usually more sensitive than that, I have to wonder how low she really is to not understand how much it hurts. Men are usually the ones who make excuses, don't want to keep hearing about their mistakes, and expect forgiveness.
THESE WOMEN ARE HATEFUL. Look, people fall in love with other people, they leave, they have affairs, who are you to judge??? It takes two to run a relationship into the ground. People don't have affairs because they are happy with their mate!!!! They have them because something is fundementally wrong in the relationship and for whatever reason, be it financial, self-esteem whatever they are unable to leave until they find someone who can help them. What matters is that everyone tries to make sure the children know they are loved, that people be civil and I wish this writer all the best. I truly believe everyone is entitled to love!!! Sometimes, you just find in the most inconvenient times.
As for all you women throwing stones….I hope someday you're a stay at home mom who has little kids, with an quasi abusive husband who leaches away all your self esteem on a daily basis, and no resources to get you and your children out. Walk a mile, ladies and then quit your smug and judgemental attitudes.
I, for one, cant wait for the next article from this writer because everything she says I can relate to. Please Wife #2, know that there are lots of people out here who relate and can understand and want to hear more?!!!!
Wife #2 stop whining about being judged and unforgiven. You know you did the wrong thing by not divorcing your husband before being with someone else and by being with a married man. Now you are paying the price. You keep saying it is worth it, but you keep thinking you should be done paying already. Sorry. His ex-wife and your ex-husband and the children get to decide that. How does it feel to have someone else ruining your good time? It is called Karma.
I'm in the same boat as this selfish woman's poor husband. She's "moved on" with her life and "happy" now, nevermind the emotional damage done to husband and kids. From her story, this guy had a belief of what a marriage and a family should be and he still can't come to terms that she betrayed that idea. It may take YEARS of grieving, counseling and re-evaluating his core beliefs before he can accept that there is nothing he can do about it. He feels "trapped" in a situation that he didn't want or plan for. Even though Wife#2 is a selfish person, the wrong thing to do is point that out to the children (see what mommy is doing?). It only makes them feel worse and it's pointless because right now they love their mom. Later on they will see and understand the truth and will resent her for it…or not, who knows. Do your ex a favor Wife#2, admit to him that there was NOTHING he could've done different to save your marriage because you had already chosen to betray your promise to him. Tell him that the person he once loved and trusted is gone…and that the "new you" is happier without him. Once that "sinks in" he might deal with you in a civil manner…don't expect him to be your friend or go on double dates with you though. Own up to YOUR decisions, don't justify your actions by blaming him…go ahead and "be happy" with your new guy because it's what's best for YOU…and remember that what goes around comes around.
Some truly superb articles on this website,regards for contribution.

The Effingham County Sheriff's Office has identified the victims of the crash as 17-year-old Lacey Danielle Longworth, of Bloomingdale and her brother Henry Longworth.
They say Henry was driving on Bay near Old River Road, when his SVU somehow lost control, struck a power pole and flipped over.
Lacey was pronounced dead at the scene. Henry was air lifted to an area hospital with life threatening injuries. Another teenage passenger was also taken to an area hospital with non life threatening injuries.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Original Story:
The Effingham community is mourning the loss of yet another teen tonight after a deadly car crash.
The Sheriff's Office tells us she was a 17-year old senior at South Effingham High School.
It happened around 3:30 Tuesday afternoon on Bay Road near Old River Road in Effingham. Investigators tell us the driver somehow lost control of the SUV he was driving and flipped into a nearby power pole.
The 17-year old female passenger was pronounced dead on scene. Her brother, the driver, was air lifted to Memorial with life threatening injuries. Investigators say it's a sad and all too common scene on the roads of Effingham County.
"Roads are dangerous," says ESCO spokesperson David Ehsanipoor.
"I believe we have become more proactive in education and enforcement. I think our serious injuries and fatalities have gone down. But there is always room for improvement. One fatality is one too many."
The names of the victims are being withheld until tomorrow. The cause for the crash is still under investigation.

What do you make for dinner when it is a hot day…. and I mean a really HOT day?
Burning Question – What's For Dinner?
{ 20 comments }
- November 19, 2009 at 9:43 am
Well its going to be our hottest yet toady, not 43 though! phew! We are having wraps, I'll cook some diced chicken and use some left over savoury mince, loads of salad and mountain bread. make your own at the table and some bottles of cold water to go with.
- November 19, 2009 at 9:46 am
I think tonight will be egg night. Scrambled or boiled on toast. Super easy!
- November 19, 2009 at 10:00 am
I usually just let the kids loose in the veggie garden for half an hour then make green smoothies for dessert :-)
- November 19, 2009 at 10:01 am
Watermelon. Possibly with ice cream.
My kids are not interested in eating on hot days so I try to find cool liquid things for them to have as a dinner substitute.
Last night we had BBQ chicken with salads for my husband and myself.
Tonight I'm out at a meeting so he will have to fend for himself.
- November 19, 2009 at 10:23 am
hamburgers with salad
- November 19, 2009 at 11:04 am
last night I served cut up carrot and cucumber sticks and cherry tomatoes in one of those divided serving dishes, alongside some chopped up rockmelon and some sausages. The kids served themselves and loved it!
- November 19, 2009 at 12:01 pm
Zooper Doopers ;) But then the only 'kid' I have to feed is my 27 year old partner :p
- November 19, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Go to the fish and chip shop. Otherwise salad.
- November 19, 2009 at 1:42 pm
I avoid cooking entirely when it's that hot. Ham and salad does the job (although cold sausages are better if there are any left over).
- November 19, 2009 at 2:47 pm
Tonight we'll have chook salad, tmrw pasta salad. BBQ anything and salad is a winner too :)
- November 19, 2009 at 4:03 pm

Sandwiches with water or coridal is about all we feel like on hot days.
- November 20, 2009 at 12:42 am
Hot weather is definitely BBQ weather at our house. Keep cool!
- November 20, 2009 at 6:24 am
Fruit Salad
Ice Cream
Gin and Tonic (for mummy)
:-) Enjoy!
- November 21, 2009 at 8:27 am
A big bowl of salad with crusty bread sticks – oh hang on, that was when I was young and sans child…
Whatever still involves salad – if it is really hot, it will involve leftovers, a can or eggs.

BBQ Chicken, Mango and Avocado noodle salad.
Last night I boiled the kettle put a packet of hokkien noodle in a large bowl, pured over the hot water and left to cook for a few minutes, drain the water add a little bit of bbq sauce, a torn apart bbq chicken, 1 diced mango and 2 diced avocados mix and serve. A very yummy Qld 5 minute dinner Miss 3 and Mr 1 loved it, so did my hubby
- November 21, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Sandwiches. No cooking required.
- November 22, 2009 at 3:29 pm
I HATE cooking when it's hot. And I HATE trying to work out what to eat. Sometimes I buy a chicken (already cooked) if I'm in town. Or cook up a corned beef to have. Then we have the ocld meat (chicken or corned beef) with salad.
We'll sometimes have something like spaghetti bolognese if I already have the sauce precooked in the freezer as it's fairly quick and easy and doesn't heat the house up too much (microwave the sauce and just cook the pasta).
The worst thing is when you're busy or tired, you can't just chuck something easy in the oven. *sigh*
- November 22, 2009 at 3:31 pm
P.S. I like the hamburger idea. I've finally gotten together all the ingredients so we can have this next time it's hot. Quick and easy. Filling and delicious!!!!
- November 27, 2009 at 9:04 am
This is the forever dilemma in our house. Especially seeing the Boyfriend is here for nearly every meal and doesn't eat chicken.
I mean WHO DOESN'T EAT CHICKEN?
Thanks for all the awesome ideas

ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB News Channel 5) – A central African Republic national has been
sentenced for resisting deportation orders.
According to U.S. Attorney Stephanie A.

sentenced to one year in prison for one count of impeding or hampering
his deportation, and also sentenced to one year in prison for a second count of
impeding or hampering his deportation.
was also sentenced to one year of supervised release.
Based on witness testimony and documents admitted into evidence,
it was established that on Nov. 11, 2011, and March 13, 2012, Diallo physically
resisted U.S. Immigration Enforcement Agents when they attempted to put him on
a commercial flight in Alexandria to return him to his country of origin.
On both dates, agents brought him to the Alexandria International
Airport and attempted to put him on a commercial flight where he began to yell
and physically resist officers, which prevented him from being allowed on the

Feud? What feud?
Apparently, American Idol judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj have managed to smooth over their differences, which came to a head in an explosive argument several weeks ago that everyone saw, thanks to a leaked on-set video.
Speaking to MTV after taping a day of American Idol auditions in Texas, Nicki says of her on-set relationship with Mariah, "We've been fine." That's hard to believe, considering the comments that Nicki made in her recent E! special. Nicki expressed outrage and anger at Mariah's alleged claim that Nicki threatened to shoot her, and also accused Mariah of "nitpicking" her and of not wanting another female on American Idol because she was afraid someone would "steal her shine."
Even so, Nicki tells MTV that, while it's been somewhat "interesting" for her to adjust to the rigid schedule of a TV taping, "I love the people there, so that makes it OK."
We'll see just how the rapper and the diva interact with one another with the 12th season of American Idol kicks off in January.

Are These Stocks Worth "Howling" Over?
David is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Anyone that knows me personally knows I love animals and everything four-legged. In recent years, a number of pet-focused companies became prominent in the financial markets, we'll examine three (3) of them. The first is PetMed Express (NASDAQ: PETS). As its name suggests, PETS or 1-800 Pet Meds, as advertised on television, caters to pet owners, more specifically as a mail order pet pharmacy. This includes pet medications as well as supplements. Although a good business concept, somewhat surprisingly earnings for the company during the last few years have been hit and miss. Unlike human medications, pet meds, at least at PetMed Express currently only offers a 6.8% margin, which seems low to me. However, the company enjoys several attractive characteristics, possessing no measurable debt whatsoever (rare for a small growing firm) and an impressive dividend of 5.3%. And while PETS' dividend is indeed generous, its yield leads me to wonder if the dividend can it be maintained long-term. Indeed, it could very well be in jeopardy provided competitors such as Costco and Wal-Mart's recent inroads into their niche pharmaceutical market.
The second company we'll examine is VCA Anatech (NASDAQ: WOOF). In some ways, more (demand-side) solid than PETS, VCA Anatech is a diversified animal health care firm specializing in supplying veterinarians diagnostics, internal medicine, oncology as well satisfying general essentially pet consumer needs (e.g. shampoo, soap, boarding services) and accessories such as flea and tick collars. In brief, I think WOOF has a solid business model that should make it more attractive than PETS because the products and services it offers are in some ways more essential to pet health, and as mentioned earlier, competition is far greater in the animal medication market, PetMed Express no longer enjoys the monopoly it once did in this niche segment of its micro sector.
The last stock we'll take a look at it MWI Veterinary Supply (NASDAQ: MWIV). Much like WOOF, MWI Veterinary Supply is a supplier of goods and services to Animal Hospital facilities, so it is very much a direct competitor of WOOF. However, increased competition is a good aspect and should lead to greater long-term efficiencies in the animal health sub sector. MWIV's possesses a few traits which separate it from the pack (no pun intended!), these include a global focus, marketing to the United Kingdom, in addition to the US, but it also focuses on large animals, both equine and commercial (i.e. livestock). I think this focus offer WMIV a competitive advantage over WOOF in terms of its global reach and also due to the nature of commercial animals, unlike pets, being inherently less discretionary in nature.
In sum, upon initial glance animal health care may seem like an easily understood, micro-sector of the economy. However, as we can see, as exemplified by the (above-mentioned) stocks this is anything but the case. Therefore, careful consideration of both the strategic advantages and disadvantages of each company should be given prior to and during investment. By doing so, we can begin to untangle a growing market in the health care sector.
Keep Searching
These are just a few! There are even more animal care stocks. While, no stock is a sure thing, each one has its advantages and disadvantages and must be carefully weighed prior and during investment. But some stocks are a lot better quality than others. By examining each opportunity carefully, you'll go a long way toward improving your investing skills and learning how to separate out the most attractive investments, animal health, or otherwise, from the rest.
