So I was browsing a channel of a certain youtube user named "henryabccba" who made some awesome AoC fan videos, and found this video where he shares a more personal story about himself :
I thought " wow that´s unusual" - but maybe it´s not that unusual at all, so anyone else ever fell in love in an MMO?
With all the recent valentines day stuff in some MMOs (Rift and TOR) I wonder if MMOs are also "dating platforms"?

Best MMOs ever played: Ultima, EvE, SW Galaxies, Age of Conan, The Secret World
Henry o man, AoC memories ...
btw it happened with 2 other guys I knew, too:
Decap and Evilmoon xD
Decap (Futilez if I rememeber correctly) with a pretty girl named Bearhugs (if I remember well) and Evilmoon (GM of Vendetta on Fury) with a brazilian girl who collected all SHOES she could get on her char
Awesome and funny guys

We do still play Lotro, right now we are also trying out vangard.
While I never have found love in an MMO. I have had 2 married women that i grouped with regularly try to take it further, and wanted to attempt to hook upThe Wierd thing is I never hit on them or really ever flirted. I just treated them like I would anyone else. Now I have hooked up with a girl once that was in a guild I was in while playing WOW. that was before TBC. We became friends with benees. I kinda felt like I was robbing the cradle with her because I was like 29 or so and she had just turned 19, but she was hot. I lived in Pensacola at the time and she had just started college ant Florida state university in Tallahassee, which is only like 3 hours away. She actually came to pcola the first time to go to the beach, which I used to be on the beach all the time. I own jet skis and, I took out jet skiing she ended up staying over for a few days.
With my job I have the opportunity to meet people I game with from time to time. Which can be cool but can also be Wierd. Like when I met a guild leader I had once. She was one of the married ones. I got a load thru where she lived once. She came and picked me up, took me to her house to have dinner with her family, her husband was a gamer too. When she drove me back to my truck she came on hard to me. After that day she kept trying to get me to get a load thru her town And take some time off. After we met she started trying to cyber me in game. I eventually left her guild. She was a good looking woman, smart and funny, and i honestly did not like the idea of possibly destroying her family. Which it could have by easily lead to that.
The time before that was way back in the days of EQ1. I had just gotten out of the army was in the process of going thru a divorce. A girl (who was married) but also seemed unhappy in her marriage, that I grouped up with all the time started talking about us meeting up, because not only in gaming but other things we shared a lot of the same interest and likes. I told her she needed to finalize any issues she had with her marriage, either fix it or get a divorce. One day she told me she cheated on her husband, then she stopped logging on.
What have I Learned from all this. 2 things.
1. Women like being treated normal, they seem to get more attached if you are not constantly flirting with them or showering themWith attention. I tend to just be friendly with everyone I game with, and social. However I don't go around using cheesy hugging and blowing kisses. Emotes, which I see people do all the time.
2. This sounds bad, but if a married woman is willing to cheat with you, and you don't do it. There is a good chance she will go cheat with someone instead. So if you can live with yourself, you might as well. Sometimes I look back at these 2 instances and a few other instances that arose that had nothing to do with gaming, and wonder why I said no or backed away, when almost everytime they ended up cheating anyway with some one else. Guess just depriving myself of some fun due to morales. Almost seems pointless now.
Many of my friends met their spouses during Ultima Online when it first came out. Since then I've been reading stories of very much the same happening in other games, especially World of Warcraft.
I actually met my girlfiend in WoW some time ago. It's mainly about not being a jerk online or worried only about self progression, and actually being a decent person who cares about others and helps them out. For instance, I still don't have a mechano-hog in game, but I've bought at least five for some friends, whom I have never met, in WoW. That's just some of things I tend to do. It was in one of those deeds were I met her and we grew closer over time and eventually we decided to hook up (moving across the country is probably the hardest part, when the time is right to do so).
Though part of the fun of online games is in fact helping people for me. So I don't think it should be forced if it's not the type of person someone is.
Playing: War Thunder, World of Warcraft, and Grim Dawn
Waiting on:Everquest Next and The Black Desert
virtual world is almost like real world: anything possible there too.
advantage: you can look *deeper* into your partner personality from the 1st step.
disadvantage: you can associate your partner with his/her avatar, and forget that in real life we can eat. sleep, getting old or ill, we can smell etc.
if MMO works for you like a 1st step to meet someone, all good;
if it "all about love", I guess you'll be prisoner of your imagination and in love with your own fantasy, so it can't work because real person will be way too different from what you think about him/her, so it can be great disappointment or drama.
try before buy, even if it's a game to avoid bad surprises.
Worst surprises for me: Aion, GW2

Dating? Maybe not so much, but meeting people on an MMO is a perfectly valid way to meet someone. Not only are they people too, but they obviously share an interest. If you never intend to meet though, maybe it's a little weird to the non-gamer.
I personally think it's a beautiful thing when two lonely souls settle for someone they met online.
There's an MMO documentary called "Second Skin" which has a pretty good segment about people who met in an MMO and started RL relationships.

Settle seems like a bad choice in wordage. If 2 people connect online doesn't mean they will connect if they meet up.
I know I for one would have to have not only Interests but also have chemistry and attraction to another person before itnwould go somewhere. Some may call that shallow, but it's honest reality for most people.
People do meet partners, some even marry those they meet in MMO's. It's rare but then MMO's were not exactly desgined to cater for the starting of real life relationships.
Love has won through, as it were.

If you mention rose tinted glasses, you better be referring to Mitch Hedberg.
Met my husband 10 years ago in Ultima Online He PK'd me in dungeon Despise and used to chase me and my guildies around the star room.
UO was a smaller community than any MMO I've played since, though.
He lived in the midwest and I was on the east coast.
This April will be our 7th year wedding anniversary and we have a sweet 2 year old.
As long as two people are happy & healthy and their relationship thrives -- more power to them.
Played: Ultima Online - DaoC - WoW -
There is something really wrong with you if you fall in love in an MMO, seriously wake up.
I can understand you find someone interesting and fall in love after you meet her/him and spend some time together.
But IN an MMO? Come on take a break, don't avoid life so much.
What can men do against such reckless hate?

|RE: [DISCUSS] define what/when a 4.0-beta should be
|Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:58:42 GMT
I vote for proceeding with the existing plan: alpha, beta at least one month later, final at least one month later: roughly your #2, Robert. Sticking to the plan seems worth the (potential) extra month wait to me. - Steve -----Original Message----- From: Robert Muir [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2012 12:22 PM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] define what/when a 4.0-beta should be On Mon, Jul 23, 2012 at 2:07 PM, Mark Miller <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > > Lets get it out very soon and then perhaps it can be a short cycle and we can perhaps even 4 in mid to late August? > If I called a VOTE today on a beta I'm thinking the earliest we could get it out would be Aug 1, and we want some time (at least a few weeks) for people to try it out before then spinning out a final. On the other hand I don't want to delay this thing too much because 4.0 has just taken forever. And the alpha release seems to maybe have provided us with the feedback we need... do we need another iteration? So I see two choices: 1. skip beta and we just work towards a final release. 2. spin beta RC like, now, today, and plan on a final release in september/october at the earliest (I imagine once we start talking about "final" people are going to really want to get a few things cleaned up first) -- lucidimagination.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

AlphaJax is a great game though I'm still a bit rubbish at it.

"I like this vintage style Santa graphic, but I read that the designer used a cutting machine to cut a red vinyl decal to afix to the cream painted wood board. I don't know what kind of cutting machine she is talking about and I wonder how pricey it is? I'd like an alternative to getting that Santa on there."
"This wall decor is very chic with any message you write on it! And it couldn't be easier. However, another option to using foam core board would be to actually buy an old thrift store bulletin board and spray paint it black. I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"

Some of you were recently discussing the Gardens at Ball. There was an
interesting article in today's local paper about it - in the Business
Section. Forgive me if I repeat something here; I only skimmed those posts
as I wasn't planning to visit. They interviewed Anna Ball, president of
Ball Horticultural and Jeff Gibson, the marketing manager. A major point of
the article was their concern about ...
"the shift away from the process of gardening to the idea that plants are
merely another product. Little annuals were a pain to extract from those
36-cell flats, but you could nurture them and see them grow through the
summer and that was therapy for the gardener as well as the plant. It's
moving from gardening to decorating. I suppose some people think it's a
good idea, but we don't."
Also, "Another problem: We have a strong supposition that the number of new
gardeners coming in is at a much-reduced rate than anytime in history. My
mother (Vivian Ball) loved following fashion, and I remember one night she
was flipping through Vogue, and she put it down and said "Anna, fashion has
got nowhere to go'. I'm wondering if gardening has nowhere to go."

John Dutra is a one-man band, running his custom-upfit 1991 Isuzu FSR for construction work in the South Bay of San Francisco. Dutra couldn't have known when he bought his truck so many years ago that today he'd be staring down a government mandate to (in all practicality) buy a cleaner truck.

There is a select group of people well-positioned to give their own unique take on the matchup between West Virginia and Clemson in the Discover Orange Bowl.
They are the men who see each team up close, who watch the demeanor of the head coaches, the sidelines and the players. Ryan McGee of ESPN The Magazine caught up with one referee from the Big East and one from the ACC to get their take on how the game will go down.
From the Big East ref:
"The biggest difference we've all noticed so far when it comes to how Bill Stewart ran things versus how Dana Holgorsen does it has been sideline discipline. It just feels like total chaos at times. Maybe he's still figuring out the CEO part of the job, but a crazy sideline is usually an indicator of disorganization elsewhere. ... Catch them in one of those stretches and you can gash them. That's why they lost games they shouldn't have and had so many that were close that shouldn't have been."
From the ACC ref:
"What did the Big East guy say about West Virginia? He said you don't know who you're going to get week to week, right? That's exactly how I feel about Clemson. ... If they are on, and that can be a big if, the only way to slow them down is to keep them off the field. As bad as West Virginia's running game is, I don't think they can do that."
You can also hear Ivan Maisel and Mark Schlabach preview the Orange Bowl on the ESPNU College Football podcast.

Great hotel, good location
Got a great deal on this downtown hotel in a great location a few blocks from the water. The hotel location is convenient for most of Halifax's major sights. The government house is just down the block.
Convenient To Downtown Sites
We stayed at the Four Points Sheraton downtown. The rooms were nice and inviting. While there are more centrally located properties if you are a Starwood Hotels member you can stay at this property, at times for only 3,000 points and $ 30 a night. A deal for a town with pretty expensive hotels.
If you prefer staying out of town check out the newly opened Comfort Hotel at Bayers Lake. Incredible rooms and great service at a modest price. Breakfast is thrown in for free.
Unique Quality: Four Points Starwood was convenient and on the club floor the breakfast was o.k.
Great Location
This hotel is in a wonderful location in Halifax , with the historic waterfront area only one block away. It is walking distance to some of Halifax's best restaurants
Hamatchi Steakhouse
Friendlystaff and nice comfortable beds.
Unique Quality: indoor pool and fitness center
Often good specials available. like $134.00 for double room
Halifax International Airport (YHZ): Approximate driving time is 40 minutes and distance is 35 km (22 miles).
Four Points
Well I didn't stay here so I can't say much about the hotel but in November 2007 I did attend some meetings there for work related to Aboriginal employment strategies so I can say a bit about the hotel.
It's connected to some great shopping and it's in a good central location in down town Halifax and just a hop to the harbour front. I would stay here in the future if I had to no problem.
In the shadow of the Aliant Building
The Four Points Sheraton is nicely located at downtown Halifax. Most attractions are within a 10 minutes walk and Spring Garden Road starts at the backside.
Breakfast is outside the hotel at the Club Niche and can be reached through the indoor Mall entrance on the 2nd floor backdoor.
There's a small refridgerator in the room; also there's an ice machine and a vending machine at each floor.
Half of the rooms look to an inner court with mock-up historical buildings overshadowed by the Aliant office building.
There is a hotel directory in the room added (you need that for the AC control),; also an electronic version is available at the default TV-channel, which some 50 more channels pre-programmed.
Rooms are spacious.
Unique Quality: Smoke free hotel
Free fast Internet (terminals in the lobby and both WiFi and cable in the rooms)
Big indoor parking
Directions: From the Airport take the shuttle bus (Airporter).

By car: I just follow the 102 highway till exit 0, followed by Bayers Rd, Connaught Av, Quinpool Rd, Bell rd, Sackville St and a right onto Hollis St.
A Nice Place
I liked this place. I was in a wheel chair access room so it was very spacious (I'm not sure how spacious the average room is but it can't be too far off from the one I was in). The king sized bed was nice.
Unique Quality: There is a neat court yard that has trompe l'oeil murals.
Directions: Downtown
The Halfiax Sheraton
Unique Quality: It is on the water and very close to everywhere you will end up going on foot. The picture is a bit out of date - the casino has moved!

The Sound of Silence
Finding comfort in the soundtrack of my diabetes.
October 2012 — Silence in my house is a coveted and rare thing. My husband and I are darting in and out of conference calls during the day, and there's always some kind of music on. My daughter is learning to truly test her vocal cords and her vocabulary, babbling and bopping around the house all day long. (And there are our stupid cats who occasionally climb the screen door, begging to be let in the house.) It's a circus of lunacy in my home at all times, and the soundtrack is always cranked up to eleven.
It's that well-worn tale of Pavlov and his crazy dogs, the ones that he trained to expect treats whenever a bell was rung. And whether or not the treats were offered, the dogs learned to respond by salivating, waiting.
Diabetes has made me one of Pavlov's dogs. But instead of the chimes of a bell triggering salivation, it's the sound of the Top Gun theme song coming from my insulin pump, making me check the status of my battery. Or the sound of my Dexcom letting loose with a BEEEEEEEP!, making me reach for my glucose meter. The sounds of diabetes are so ingrained in my brain that I don't think before responding. My reaction to certain sounds is visceral.
Sometimes the sounds of my diabetes are subtle — the quiet beep of my meter while it counts down to my blood sugar result, or the shunk of the Inset going into my skin on pump site change day. It's these sounds that I can hear in a quiet classroom as though they're magnified; they funnel straight into my ears.
Added to the regularly scheduled noise is the soundtrack of my diabetes. THE NOISE! The BEEEEEP! of my Dexcom when my blood sugars are out of range, or that song ringing from my Ping when the battery needs to be changed.
You'd think that these noises would keep me up all night. You'd think the bings and beeps and blaring horns of diabetes management devices would make insomniacs out of me and my family, our eyes constantly bleary from the noise.
But they're oddly comforting. The beep of my meter before bedtime? Means I tested, and that it's safe to sleep. The alarms on the Dexcom are necessary, and warn me of out-of-range moments. The whirring and churning of my diabetes devices are a reminder that yes, I have diabetes, but yes, I am trying. Every beep is one of success, no matter what the cause, because it's sounding the alarm of my efforts.
The truly Pavlovian response comes out when I hear these noises in the wild. Like when the beeping Dexcom isn't mine, but belonging to a stranger in the crowd. I remember one time, while sitting on an airplane, I heard the distinct "boop beep boop" of a Medtronic insulin pump from a few seats behind me. And my instinctive response was this rising urge to find, and then hug, that person.
...I guess it's better than drooling on them.
dLife's Viewpoints columnists are not all medical experts, but everyday people living with diabetes and sharing their personal experiences, most often at a set point in time. While their method of diabetes management may work for them, everyone is different. Please consult with your diabetes care team before acting on anything you read here to find out what will work best for you.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of the benefits that made it cost-effective for me to go with the real healthcare (HSA) plan rather than the phony (HRA) plan is that my company is now covering "preventative" medicines at $0 copay. The formulary for these, as stated by CVS/Caremark (my pharmacy benefits provider), covers all test strips, lancets, and control solutions.

Common as Muck by Roy Chubby Brown
Book DescriptionAbandoned by his mother when he was just nine years old, by the time Royston Vasey was nineteen he had been married, divorced, had two children, spent two years in Borstal and several months in prison, and had been shot at in the Merchant Navy. By the time he was thirty-five, he was one of Britain's most successful comics, playing live to half a million fans a year as Roy 'Chubby' Brown. In COMMON AS MUCK he tells his incredible story. Frank, funny and - perhaps unexpectedly - often moving, it is a tale of a man battling to escape his background and become a star. From his impossibly deprived childhood to his controversial comic persona to his more recent battle against throat cancer, Roy 'Chubby' Brown's life is as remarkable and fascinating as the man himself.

SHS golfers take third in Buffalo
SHERIDAN — The Sheridan High School golf teams finished third Friday in a tournament in Buffalo.
The boys shot 347 while the girls scored 319. Big Horn also attended, but did not place.
Sheridan's Jack Mavrakis finished second with a score of 76 behind defending 4A champ from Riverton Easton Paxton, who scored 73.
Kayla Allen of Sheridan finished eighth with a score of 100.
"Each golfer improved from the last tournament in Worland," Sheridan head coach Larry Martoglio said. "The team score was 10 strokes better than last weekend."
Kaleigh Anderson of Big Horn finished 11th.
"All of the golfers improved their scores and are grasping their swings," Big Horn head coach Mila Stender said. "Jack Roberts scored an 87 and that was the best he has done."
The Sheridan team will compete Thursday at Douglas and Big Horn has a break until April 25 at Sundance.

Feeling burned out
March 07, 2012, 2:07:24 am »
I'm finishing up several years abroad. I'm in a tenure-track-ish position in Asia. In general I like it. Salary is good. Great schools for kids. Spouse has alumni connections at other U's and good prospects for dual career. Saving money, some research happening, looking forward to trip home this summer, etc. However, I'm also just a bit burned out on the adjustments.
Part of my challenge is the different institutional culture. I've been hear long enough that I'm now at the point where I realize the school won't change. It will always be run from above with little faculty input and no voice for junior faculty. I'm teaching at the edge of my field, using a foreign language. I have trouble getting the support help I need on things like language. There's a fairly heavy service burden. I live on campus, which is free, but can feel like a fish bowl.
I can't figure what exactly the adjustment I'm struggling with is. Culture shock? Something approaching mid-career blues (or at least the sense that I've reached a plateau, am more comfortable teaching, but am also a bit weary of it all)? Maybe it's just having little kids at home.
If anyone who has taught long-term cross-culturally I'd be really interested in your thoughts on the process. What were the sticking points? What kept you doing it? If you packed it in, how did you do that?

Interesting post. If I'm reading this correctly, you're mid-career (or at the very least have been teaching for a number of years at your present university). If so, and with the possible exceptions of "little faculty input" and teaching "using a foreign language," I'd say your experiences (and feelings about them) are pretty typical for someone at this stage in their career. I.e., I think there's a sort of middle-aged crisis we often go through as academics, where even if we love our jobs, we start feeling bored/burned-out with the current "relationship"...and begin glancing furtively and longingly at adverts for "sexier" positions elsewhere. Most probably go no further than glancing, though in both my fields, movement at even the senior level used to be the norm (e.g., nobody from my dissertation committee remains at my alma mater). Keeping this in mind--i.e., that what you're feeling is both normal and not necessarily just because you're working overseas--can help you stay sane. It certainly helps me!
As to what you should do now and/or whether you should leave...difficult to answer with just the information given. One thing I always recommend, though, is that you have realistic expectations about the level/type of institution you'd be returning to--assuming you were hired. Many of the posts to this particular section of the CHE forums revolve around a false comparison, where conditions at universities overseas are contrasted to, say, the ostensibly "typical" U.S. situations found at "cornell, ucla, boston university, and university of pennsylvania" (to quote from just one recent example). However, as even a cursory search of these forums (and the job adverts in your field) should make clear, the majority of college/university positions in the U.S. sadly do not feature 2/2 (or 1/1) teaching loads, with high faculty salaries/generous research stipends and classes populated solely by capable and motivated students. Indeed, unless you qualify for the elite universities, very often the teaching (and research support) situation you'd find at "home" will be similar (or even inferior) to the situation you have now.
As to how to pack it in and return, how is strong is your publication record, and are you maintaining relationships with people "at home" who can write you good letters of recommendation? Particularly with regards to the former, I think you need to plan on having more publications than is average for the equivalent rank at the institution-type you are targeting--for one thing, search committees will need to justify (to themselves and possibly to administration as well) the extra time/effort and (especially) expense necessary to pursue your application. I've served on search committees in the U.S. where applicants overseas were considered (and in one case hired). I've also been pretty lucky in my own (albeit limited...as I'm only interested in moving for the "right" position) job searches, managing to get interviews and campus invites (and even a job offer that I turned down earlier this year) for a reasonably high percentage of my applications. From experience of being on both sides of the table, I can say that you need to be not just "good" but "better" than the other successful applicants for the type of university you are targeting. Are you?

This is helpful. There are several responses you gave and they are all valid. I'm at a point now where I am both burned out and not sure what to do after this next batch of projects if finished, so part of this may just be reaching the point where I'm really finally going off the rail I started on in grad study. I'd call myself early mid-career.
Some of this is culture shock. I'm at a solidly good school here. I did teach at a bad 3/3 in the US. What I mean by bad is that the students were nice but rarely academically inclined, the faculty were friendly but there only a handful were doing research (and some had iffy degrees), and it was going to be an economic struggle to stay there (expensive housing, low pay, mediocre schools). It helps to remember that while some things were better there (governance, personal freedom, etc.), others were worse (student culture, teaching field, etc.). Some are just ambivalent (far from home; getting good language skills but struggling to teach fluently; etc.). I think it can be hard to tease out which parts are culture and which parts are institution. It may be that I could shift schools here or move. This week I've gotten several emails from colleagues struggling at others schools, and it's been helpful in reminding me not to take any of this personally; a lot of this is just academia and living in one fish bowl. Switching bowls will change the view but not necessarily improve things.
I try not to think too much about the "am I good enough" compared to others. I think I'm hitting the publishing targets I need to be viable back in the States, and I'm in a good field (area studies-ish) for moving, where time abroad will help. Still, at this point I'm not really ready to job search or contemplate an intercontinental move.
Thank you for writing back taikinbansei. I'm feeling a bit better about things.
Thank you for helping me think this through.

Our backgrounds and current situations are eerily similar, right down to the descriptions of your former TT position (I believe we worked at the same place!) and your present job situation (a secure position at a good school, with ample research opportunities and nice salary/perks...but something sometimes feels to be missing). Similarly, my research is also aided by being overseas, with the time spent here actually strengthening my candidacy--if I were to choose to return.
Like you, I also go through rough periods when I think strongly about moving on. I think that part of it (as you suggest) is culture shock, and part of it is the midlife crisis-type stuff I mentioned earlier. Regarding the former, what always helps me is doing things to ensure that I have a life outside my workplace. (I think the workplace too easily can become one's sole focus while overseas, particularly if your language skills are insufficient to allow you to function without a translator nearby.) How involved are you and your family in the local community? Is there a PTA or other neighborhood organization you can join/assist with? Also, do any of the professional organizations you belong to have local offices--perhaps they need volunteers/local officers as well? Finally, do you have any hobbies (or things you might want to pursue as hobbies), and are there any clubs/study groups around that cater to learning/practicing these hobbies? I.e., as you appear to speak the local language well, you have options that many do not--take advantage of these opportunities.
Strangely enough, another thing that I do is come here to the CHE forums. Reading the various threads helps me remember all the wonderful students, colleagues and experiences I had while working back home...not to mention the not quite so wonderful (but oh so memorable) exceptions. (The "'favorite' student e-mails" and "Bang Your Head on Your Desk--the thread of teaching despair!" threads really need to be published as books...and maybe made into a movie or three as well.) The forum threads remind me that working as a faculty member at a university back home is a usually rewarding, sometimes frustrating, and often (surreally) entertaining occupation, one that we're "lucky" (if one can ignore all the work necessary to make said "luck" possible) to have. In other words, it's a lot like working where I am now. Keeping this in mind when you are down helps too...at least it helps me.
Good luck to you!

I really do like the Chronicle, because it reminds me of how common these types of feeling are. I am migrating more towards "mid-career" discussions, which reflect where I am. I do miss regular hobbies. Our situation is compounded by young children, which limits some of the other ways of getting out (harder to hop a plane to a conference or head off for the stacks). I'm in a better place, but may post on this thread again. It's helped to make contact with some of my cohort and to hear more about their joys and challenges. I may try to post in this forum more. It seems to lack as many regular posters, but perhaps it would be a good place to compare notes with others in a similar place.

I should think that there are a number of overlapping themes involved, and it is hard to know where the best balance is amongst these issues. As taikibansei points, many of these are characteristic questions that anyone in early mid-career faces - juggling your career interests, your spouses' interests, quality of life issues, children's schooling issues, etc. - but made all the more complicated by the additional question of more-or-less permanently living abroad or not. The last is in fact a pretty heavy question. There is no advice to be given, because your specific circumstances and family priorities are going to be unique to you, but it is possible to at least know that many of us out there have experienced this and we can sympathize with your dilemma.
It takes a good two years for the initial novelty of living abroad to wear off, and then a type of culture shock can settle in when one transitions from the thought of the adventure of working abroad for a 'period of time' to the idea of it becoming permanent. When you have to think about pension plans, long-term schooling plans for children, and the like - and deal with it all in another language to boot. I have a few friends for whom that was a very tough mental transition - accepting becoming a permanent expat.
Good luck

I've always wondered how universal the process of culture shock is. I'd heard "two years" before also. I think it makes sense and I'm actually just now closing on three years in this position. So culture shock, or the adjustment to thinking of myself as a long-term expat, may be part of this sense of mild alienation.
I struggle also with how involved to be in foreign communities. We haven't joined the American club and the foreigners we know tend to be a mix of people from this and nearby schools: Australia, SE Asia, Brit, South African, etc. I think as kids get older we get more of an expat-y community than we have now. How have you all juggled this?
I think my situation is really a mix of the unsolvable "is this all there is?" with some homesickness and institutional frustration thrown in. I realize I sound pretty negative in these posts. The truth is that in general I like where I am and I know it's an objectively good situation. It helps to hear others who have been through this. I should also add that I know people who probably should have folded and gone home, and I also meet people who had some rough patches but have really found grown over the years. I think part of my dilemma is to figure out how to handle these transitions. I think our goal is to renew for another three years, but this is also the window where we're having to figure that out.
Thank you all again for listening...

You might also think about looking for a position in another English speaking country where the job market is less competitive than in the US and your experience in Asia maybe is valued more.

BBC video news report on VT supercomputer
A MacNN reader writes: "Mac users won a small victory this week after the BBC had discontinued its RealMedia stream of its popular Click Online technology show. The decision threatened to excluded the Mac faithful who are unable to view the latest Windows Media 9 stream. Thankfully the BBC has relented following an outcry and is again offering the RealMedia stream. This week's show is of great interest to Mac users as it covers 64-bit computing and the Virginia Tech's G5 super-computer." [Real Video link]
Migration to OS X yields productivity payoff
Infoworld's migration project to Mac OS X had some initial problems with Windows file/print services using Samba and mail service issues with Sendmail/Postfix, but there was an "ultimate productivity payoff" with Mac OS X's Aqua interface/environment: "What surprised me is that as I opened each of the windows I planned to use, I didn�t feel the need to close others to keep things 'clean.'

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa

This place is exactly as advertised. Nothing fancy but absolutely wonderful.
Very quiet and really isolated from other homes in the area. Golf course convenient and the close to Bangor and good location to base out of for Acadia and other attractions in the area. Better yet it is a place to stay put and relax.
The cabin was charming and a great location. They replied right away to any questions we had and anticipated all our needs...even ones we hadn't considered. The deck was perfect for grilling and entertaining. Check in and out were easy, breezy. I would highly recommend this place, and would stay here again if planning another trip to Acadia/Bar Harbor area. Loved it. Thanks for your hospitality.
The cabin like we wanted
We had no problem finding the place. Everything was ready for us as per cabin description. We have spent most of our time on Mount Desert Island discovering amazing Acadia National Park. Visit Lobster Hatchery at Mount Desert Oceanarium, our kids loved the place. If you are looking for a rustic cabin in the woods, this is the one. After 8 days we did not want to leave.
Amazing rustic cabin in the woods!
We really enjoyed our stay here at the Lucerne-in-Maine cabin! The surrounding scenery is beautiful and it was only about a 45 minute drive down to visit Acadia National Park. We had rainy weather but still enjoyed cozying up in front of the wood burning fire place and sitting in the front porch room watching the storm! The home was well stocked with linens, extra toiletries, kitchen supplies, and drinking water so we didn't need to leave looking far anything we forgot! Thanks so much for a memorable stay!!
Great cabin in a beautiful setting!
We loved this cabin! The wooded setting is absolutely gorgeous! I always am skeptical of the photos posted, as people can use angles and filters that make things seem nicer than they are. With this listing, though, the pictures posted are accurate to even selling the place a little short - you just have to see it in person! We spent 3 nights here in June. The cabin doesn't have heat, which we did not think would be a problem. Turned out the nighttime temperatures were dipping into the 40's, which made it a bit chilly. We just bundled up and went with it! It was still fun. We spent our days hiking and exploring Acadia and basically just slept in the cabin, fixing a couple of meals there, too. The kitchen is small, but it's quite functional and well-stocked. The decor throughout the cabin is sometimes over-the-top, but it makes it feel more like a home. With the rain, we did not get to use the deck, but it is large and has plenty of seating.
I highly recommend this cabin to anyone wanting to explore Acadia or just chill in the woods for a few days. Great place!
Beautiful Location
Exactly what we were looking for a quite get away.

Is kies 3 the worst thing ever or am I using it wrong?
I had a galaxy s3. Using kies I could add my entire itunes library then add to my phone. When I plugged in my s5 active it said this version doesn't support this phone, i needed kies 3. Downloaded that and the option to add itunes library is gone. I started adding music files including artwork and all that one at a time, and 80% of them say "unkown" for the artist and don't use the artwork. Is this a massive downgrade in software or am I missing something? Is there a way to add my itunes to my s5 that would be less annoying?
