I plan to use this book next year to compliment our history study of Greece and Rome. So with the single line drawings I was able to make by tracing the pictures, I have put together some copywork pages and some coloring pages. To boot, I made montessori cards and formatted this charming book into an e-book for easy usage. Now all my boys can have a copy to read from. All my creations from this project are for sale over at Currclick.
The idea for this project was first ignited when Nadene over at practical pages posted about tracing fine art paintings for her daughters. I was intrigued by her process and decided to try it with Aesop. Here is how it is done...
First I snagged a free copy of The Aesop For Children from project gutenberg. I chose the HTML version and selected all the text and pictures and pasted it into a word document. Then I grabbed a picture and printed it.
Next I traced the picture onto velum. I tried using a lightweight tracing paper but in the next step when I scan the traced image, the light weight tracing paper warped a little and made smudgy lines in the final image. The velum worked great!

Owners of remodeling companies commonly employ one of three exit strategies: close the company and live off well-invested profits; hire a general manager and work part time; or sell the company outright, either to employees or to an outside buyer.
Most remodelers hope to sell the company, and at first this seems to be a straightforward process. As with selling a house, you spruce things up a bit, find a willing buyer, pocket the proceeds, and live happily ever after. In reality, however, preparing a remodeling company for sale is much like training for a marathon; it requires three to five years of focused attention.
The first step is to find out what your company might be worth. Before you begin, however, ask your accountant to normalize your financial statements for the past five years by removing any income or expenses not related to standard operations. Normalized financial statements might exclude expenses such as depreciation or prepayments made to reduce taxes and non-remodeling–based income such as rent paid to you by your company. Also adjust owner's salary to the amount required to hire an experienced general manager in your area ( see Benchmark, August 2006).
Using normalized figures, calculate net profit for each of the past five years, then calculate a weighted five-year average that favors more recent years. For example, multiply 2005 net profit by 2; 2004 net profit by 1.75; 2003, by 1.5; and so on. ( Download a spreadsheet that automates these calculations here.)
Now divide the five-year average net profit by 0.225. (This is a standard figure used to evaluate service-based businesses.) The result is an estimated cash value for your company (see sample spreadsheet at bottom).
We're not quite finished. Certain characteristics of your business, called "marketability discounts," may reduce its value to a prospective buyer. The sample spreadsheet lists common marketability discounts, such as dependence on a key employee and lack of systems. According to experts, a 45% to 50% discount is typical. Obviously, correcting even one or two of these characteristics prior to sale can significantly increase the sale price. —Judith Miller is a Bay Area construction business consultant and trainer specializing in accounting, finance, and computerization.
Deal Breakers
Some marketability discounts can turn off a buyer completely. To achieve maximum value for your company you must have:
- Great (not just good) financial records
- Great (not just good) process maps for three primary areas of the company: marketing/sales/estimating; production; and finance/administration
- Better-than-average wage and benefit packages for all employees
- Good long-term banking relationships

Is it possible to charge spare battery without phone?
- Most phone batteries have some type of offline charger available on eBay. Have you tried there or seidio.com?
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk09-06-2010 09:06 AMLike 0 - There was tutorial that I read which involves splicing usb wires and connecting it straight to the battery to charge it. Id say if you have any spare usb wires and extra time to give it a shot and even possibly build something out of it. As for things online they make them not sure if ive seen any yet for the X though.
Found it: NOTE: I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE DONE TO ANY PHONE, BATTERY, ETC. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WITH CAUTION TO AVOID RISK OF DAMAGE.
1. Take your cable and cut off one of the ends, leaving a standard USB plug at the opposite end to plug into your computer.
2. Now you need to strip about and inch of the wire off until you get to the core where you should see 4 colored wires (red, black, white, and green). The colors don't really matter and they may vary, just as long as you can see a red wire and a black wire.
3. Strip off about a quarter inch of the rubber sleeving on the red and black cables, exposing the actual metal wire.
4. Twist the metal strands of each of the wires a couple of times so that all of the wires from the black cable are together and all of the wires from the red cable are together. This is just to make sure that you don't create a short circuit.
5. Here's where it gets a little tricky. You are going to use this cable to make the phone think the battery is fully charged, when in fact you will just be powering the phone using the power from the USB port. Pull out the battery on your phone and find the 4 exposed metal slots (the battery terminals).
6. Each of the far terminals should be labeled with a plus (+) or a minus (-). What you need to do is put exposed leads on the red wire up to the positive terminal and the leads of the black wire up to the negative terminal.GeradMiller likes this.09-06-2010 09:19 AMLike 1 - You can buy 2 non-oem spare batteries and an ac charger on eBay for around $15. You have to wait a couple weeks to get it (from Hong Kong).09-06-2010 11:23 AMLike 0
- WHOAH, PEOPLE! PLEASE RE-READ THE QUESTION. NO ONE hs answered it!
The question is NOT "Is it possible to power the phone without its battery"! WHY is ANYONE answering THAT question in THIS Thread - makes absolutley no sense, and even those answers are not written well at all. Although, answered correctly, that OTHER question is something many are curious to know the correct answer to. Just not in this thread.
To answer the actual QUESTION: YES, you CAN charge your cellphone battery when it is OUTSIDE of, Not connected to, or NO WHERE NEAR your phone. WARNING: IF you chose to do this, you run the risk of over-charging the battery. Why? Because:
1. MOST home wall and car chargers - yes, even the ones that come WITH the cellphone - do NOT regulate the battery charging cycle AT ALL. They merely only provide a steady voltage and constant amperage. Period. Usually 5v at 900ma (car and wall, and most usb 3.0 ports) or 500ma (most usb 2.0 ports)They're "dumb". Remember VOLTAGE can under or over charge, AMPERAGE does NOTHING to that. Voltage is pushed to the device, AMPS are Pulled by the device. Make it is easy on yourself, that IS the best way to think of it. Period.
Watts, Amps and Volts and How To Understand Electricity
2. The CELLPHONE ITSELF regulates all charging cycles of the battery. When the battery is IN the phone, of course.
There ARE chargers that CAN regulate charging and with proper cycles, but they arent cheap. You can find them at Hoby stores everywhere. Anywhere from 35.00 to 120.00 US - single cell to multi cell.02-12-2014 02:57 PMLike 0

Being a relocation company, here at Moishes Moving and Storage we know how potentially stressful moving home and especially relocating to a new State can be. And if it's to a city where the streets are as busy and bustling as New York then it can be quite a thing to contemplate.
Or at least it would be if you didn't plan well in advance and consider the potential pitfalls along the way. So, if you're planning a relocation any time soon why not take a look our Top 10 tips to help make your move a little smoother:
Tips for easier home relocation
- It doesn't matter whether you are packing up your own possessions or you're getting us to do it, there's going to be problems if we can't get near to where the boxes are to be picked up. So, if you have a small yard, there's parking restrictions or any other reason why we can't get near your home, then please let us know about it so that we can plan what to do beforehand ie it may mean we have to turn up in a smaller van or even negotiate with the roads authorities to get access it. It definitely saves time if we're forearmed.
- When packing smaller items do think about the weight of the boxes in terms of making sure it's balanced. Also, it's a good idea to pack things from a particular room in the same boxes ie keep all the kitchen stuff together, the bathroom paraphernalia, bedroom linen etc separate. Always label those boxes too so it's easier to find what you're looking for and to plan your unpacking.
- Pack the children or any pets you have off to their granny's, auntie's or a family friend so that they won't literally get under your – and our – feet on moving day. Not only will this be less stressful for you and safer for them, but it'll also be more fun for the little ones to be at the pool, park, watching TV etc.
- On the day make sure you have special documents, money, your phone, contact numbers etc with you at all times. You don't want these to be lost in the upheaval.
- Accept the fact you may have to do a bit of cleaning once you reach your new abode. You've no idea what condition it'll be left in and if the house has been empty for a little while then there's it's a sure bet you're going to have some dusting and wiping to do.
- Make sure you don't end up arguing with utility companies for unpaid bills by taking the meter readings as soon as you enter your new home. You should also check at this point that the cooker, boiler, fridge/freezer etc are all in working order – otherwise contact your solicitor.
- Don't imagine for one minute that you're going to get through moving day without plenty of snacks, drinks and at least one good nourishing meal. You'll need these for all those extra calories spent lunging boxes everywhere.
- Always bring an overnight bag with you when moving. This should contain handy items such as toiletries, toothbrushes, hand wipes, contact lenses solution, a change of clothes and bed linen (unless you plan to spend the first night in sleeping bags). You might want to think about a change of clothes for next day too.

Toss it into the sand once and see how it does. Being out in Navada I'm sure you might find some. I'd like to see them abused as if by our troops. If it still functions, I'd be more interested.
We do have more than our share of sand in southern Nevada. :-) When it comes to fitness for military service, your concern is appropriate. The goverment, rightfully so, requires all kinds of environmental testing for weapon systems. It's been that way back into the 1950s, if not longer. Ordnance items have to be robust.
I don't know what environmental testing the manufacturer, XS Products, has conducted on its X series of magazines. The X-14 is the latest model of drum magazine in the series. The owner of the company told me that they have tested the X-14 prototypes to the extent that at least one prototype unit having 8,000 rounds through it with no issues. So, the design appears sound, at least for civilian purposes. There are no plastic parts in the X-14 magazine, just alloy aluminum and steel parts. The interior parts are given a ceramic coating before assembly. Thus, no lubrication is needed. HTH

Posted 22 November 2011 - 05:35 PM
It's straightforward to load but since it takes fifty rounds to fill it, it is going to take longer than a twenty round magazine. OTOH, it won't need refilling as often. :-) It's 4.9 pounds fully loaded. I found the extra weight very helpful in automatic fire. I also tried it with a semi-automatic only M1A. You notice the additional weight but it is fairly compact. The bottom of the X-14 extends downward from the stock just a hair less than a USGI twenty round magazine.

Lucknow Metro is a Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) being constructed to provide the city of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh with an environment friendly atmosphere. The commencement of civil works started on 27 September 2014.[6] Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation Limited or LMRC is working on this project which will be an alternative mode of transport since approximately 94% of the city's registered vehicles are private,city had over 2 million registerd vehicle in 2015.According to a report every month city is adding about 1000 new four wheelers in it's vehicle population.[7][8] Growing population and huge traffic has called for the transformation of private modes of conveyance to public transport. The metro project will be the most expensive public transport system in the state of Uttar Pradesh,total cost of phase 1&2 will be about $2 billion, costing ₹6,928 crore (US$1 billion) in phase 1 of construction, first lane of which is expected to be operational for public by March 2017.[8][9] Phase 2 will be started in 2018.[citation needed]. Lucknow Metro is expected to cover 140 km in the city in total 4 phases in next 25 years.It is referred as the fastest built metro project in India.
Lucknow Metro will be having two routes, from North to South and East to West. The North-South corridor starts at Amausi to Munshi Pulia, with a total length of 22.878 kilometres (14.216 miles). The East-West corridor starts at Charbagh Railway Station and ends at Vasant Kunj. Both lines will intersect at Charbagh. An extension line from Indira Nagar – Gomti Nagar – Polytechnic Crossing will extend it to Patrakarpuram, Gomti Nagar.[10] The difference between arrival time of trains at each station is expected to be 7 minutes. This would be reduced to 5 minutes and then to 3 minutes in phases. The commercial run for the priority phase is expected to begin from March 26 2017.
The Lucknow Metro system, when completed, will be the fastest and most economical high speed rapid transit system project in India.[11]
Initially the Lucknow Metro Rail Project was planned to include two corridors: North-South and East-West; and the Gomti Nagar link. The construction cost was estimated at Rs74.13 billion for North-South corridor, Rs48.79 billion for East-West corridor and Rs4.95 billion for Gomti Nagar link.[12][13]
The North-South corridor was to connect Amausi airport to Munshipulia and cover a distance of 23 kilometres (14 mi), including 19.051 km elevated (11.838 mi), 0.774 km ramp (0.481 mi) and 3.053 km underground (1.897 mi).[14] This corridor will have a total 22 stations including 19 overhead and 3 underground.[3] The elevated stations would have included the Airport terminal, Amausi, Transport Nagar, Krishna Nagar, Singaar Nagar, Alambagh, ISBT, Mawaiya, Durgapuri, Charbagh. This shall be followed by an underground section that will include Hussain Ganj, Sachivalaya (Uttar Pradesh Secretariat) and Hazratganj. Here after, the track will be elevated again, stations in the sequence are KD Singh Babu Stadium, Lucknow University, IT College, Mahanagar, Badshahnagar, Lekhraj Market, Ramsagar Mishra Nagar, Indira Nagar and a new terminus Munshi Pulia.[15]
For the Gomti Nagar link, the train coming from the airport terminal was to be diverted towards Gomti Nagar at the Indira Nagar trisection Polytechnic crossing along an elevated route. The planned stations were Indira Nagar Trisection, West End Mall [Waves Multiplex], Gomti Nagar & Patrakarpuram.
The East-West corridor was planned to connect the Lucknow railway station at Charbagh to Vasantkunj on Hardoi Road and have a total length of 11 km (6.8 mi), including 4.29 km elevated (2.67 mi), 0.5 km ramp (0.31 mi) and 6.3 km underground (3.9 mi). This corridor was to have 12 stations including seven underground and five overhead. The stations at Lucknow Railway Station (Charbagh), Gautam Buddha Marg, Aminabad, Pandeyganj, Chattrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University (King George Medical University) and Niwazganj were to be below ground level, and an elevated section for the Thakurganj, Balaganj, Sarfarazganj, Moosabagh and the Vasant Kunj terminal stations.
The designed speed of metro would be 90 km/h (56 mph) while the scheduled speed would be 34 km/h (21 mph) for North-South corridor and 32 km/h (20 mph) for East-West corridor. There would be only one depot at Vasant Kunj spread over a land measuring 20 hectares (49 acres). The Amausi Depot has been done away because of its proximity to the Airport and the subsequent reasons of security and safety.[16]
In 2013, the Department of Urban Planning did away with the two-corridor layout and recommended a dense network of metro connectivity in Lucknow. The entire route has been proposed to be built overhead. Due to this, the overall cost of the project will go up due to an expanded network, the operating cost per km will be reduced. This is because the cost of constructing one km of overhead track is ₹1.8 billion (US$27 million) as compared to ₹5.5 billion (US$82 million) for an underground track. Also, an underground track consumes much more energy and is less safe. There is also a proposal to start a Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) as a feeder service to the metro.[17]

@kolargoran: No limits on our end, you could have a bandwidth limitation on your connection I suppose... but I think you'd hit that on a variety of sites, not just ours.
So... what problem were you running into?
there is no limit.. The problem might be with your download manager or as @Duncanma mentioned it could be with your bandwidth if you have bandwidth limits..

Catherine of Alexandria
this wiki
Saint Catherine of Alexandria, also known as Saint Catherine of the Wheel and The Great Martyr Saint Catherine (Greek ἡ Ἁγία Αἰκατερίνη ἡ Μεγαλομάρτυς) is a Christian saint and martyr who is claimed to have been a noted scholar in the early 4th century. In the beginning of the fifteenth century, it was rumoured that she had spoken to Joan of Arc. The Orthodox Church venerates her as a "great martyr", and in the Catholic Church she is traditionally revered as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers.
Catherine was the daughter of Costus, a pagan governor of Alexandria. She announced to her parents that she would only marry someone who surpassed her in beauty, intelligence, wealth, and social status. This was an early foreshadowing of her eventual discovery of Christ. "His beauty was more radiant than the shining of the sun, His wisdom governed all creation, His riches were spread throughout all the world."[1]
Life and legend
Catherine was born and raised a pagan, but miraculously converted to Christianity in her late teens. It is said that she visited her contemporary, the Roman Emperor Maximinus, and attempted to convince him of the error of his ways in persecuting Christians. She succeeded in converting his wife, the Empress, and many pagan philosophers whom the Emperor sent to dispute with her, all of whom were subsequently martyred.[1] Upon the failure of the Emperor to win Catherine over, he ordered her to be put in prison; and when the people who visited her converted, she was condemned to death on the breaking wheel (an instrument of torture). According to legend, the wheel itself broke when she touched it, so she was beheaded.
According to Christian tradition, angels carried her body to Mount Sinai, where in the 6th century, the Eastern Emperor Justinian established Saint Catherine's Monastery, Mount Sinai, the church being built between 548 and 565 in Saint Katherine city, Egypt. Saint Catherine's Monastery survives, a famous repository of early Christian art, architecture and illuminated manuscripts that is open to visiting scholars still.
Her principal symbol is the spiked wheel, which has become known as the Catherine wheel, and her feast day is celebrated on 25 November by most Christian churches. However, the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates it on 24 November, because Empress Catherine the Great did not wish to share her patronal feast with the Leavetaking of the feast of the Presentation of the Theotokos. Because she was Catherine the Great's patron, the Catholic Church of St. Catherine, one of the first Catholic churches built in Russia, was named after Catherine of Alexandria.
Medieval cult
St. Catherine was one of the most influential saints in the religious culture of the late middle ages, and arguably considered the most important of the virgin-martyrs. Her power as an intercessor was renowned, and firmly established in most versions of her legend, in which she specifically entreats God at the moment of her death to answer the prayers of those who invoke her name. The development of her medieval cult was spurred by the reported rediscovery of her body around the year 800 at Mount Sinai, with hair still growing and a constant stream of healing oil emitting from her body.[4] There are a handful of pilgrimage narratives that chronicle the journey to Mount Sinai, most notably those of John Mandeville and Friar Felix Fabri.[5] However, the monastery at Mount Sinai was the best-known site of Catherine pilgrimage, but was also the most difficult to reach. The most prominent western shrine was the monastery in Rouen that claimed to house Catherine's fingers. It was not alone in the west, however, accompanied by many, scattered shrines and altars dedicated to Catherine, which existed throughout France and England. Some were better known sites, such as Canterbury and Westminster, which claimed a phial of her oil, brought back from Mount Sinai by Edward the Confessor.[6] Other shrines were the focus of generally local pilgrimage, many of which are only identified by brief mentions to them in various texts, rather than by physical evidence.[7]
St. Catherine also had a large female following, whose devotion was less likely to be expressed through pilgrimage. The importance of the virgin-martyrs as the focus of devotion and models for proper feminine behavior increased during the late middle ages.[8] Among these, St. Catherine in particular was used as an exemplar for women, a status which at times superseded her intercessory role.[9] Both Christine de Pizan and Geoffrey de la Tour Landry point to Catherine as a paradigm for young women, emphasizing her model of virginity and "wifely chastity."[10]
History and veneration
Historians such as Harold Thayler Davis believe that Catherine ('the pure one') may not have existed and that she was more an ideal exemplary figure than a historical one.[11] She did certainly form an exemplary counterpart to the pagan philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria in the medieval mindset; and it has been suggested that she was invented specifically for that purpose. Like Hypatia, she is said to have been highly learned (in philosophy and theology), very beautiful, sexually pure, and to have been brutally murdered for publicly stating her beliefs. Catherine is placed 105 years before Hypatia's death, although the first records mentioning her are much later.
Because of the fabulous character of the account of her martyrdom and the lack of reliable documentation, the Roman Catholic Church in 1969 removed her feast day from the General Roman Calendar.[12] But she continued to be commemorated in the Roman Martyrology on November 25.[13] In 2002, her feast was restored to the General Roman Calendar as an optional memorial.
The 1908 Catholic Encyclopedia describes the historical importance of the belief in her as follows:
Ranked with St Margaret and St Barbara as one of the fourteen most helpful saints in heaven, she was unceasingly praised by preachers and sung by poets. It is believed that Jacques-Benigne Bossuet dedicated to her one of his most beautiful panegyrics and that Adam of St. Victor wrote a magnificent poem in her honour: Vox Sonora nostri chori, etc.In many places her feast was celebrated with the utmost solemnity, servile work being suppressed and the devotions being attended by great numbers of people. In several dioceses of France it was observed as a Holy Day of Obligation up to the beginning of the seventeenth century, the splendor of its ceremonial eclipsing that of the feasts of some of the Apostles. Numberless chapels were placed under her patronage and her statue was found in nearly all churches, representing her according to medieval iconography with a wheel, her instrument of torture. Meanwhile, owing to several circumstances in his life, Saint Nicholas of Myra was considered the patron of young bachelors and students, and Saint Catherine became the patroness of young maidens and female students. Looked upon as the holiest and most illustrious of the virgins of Christ after the Blessed Virgin Mary, it was natural that she, of all others, should be worthy to watch over the virgins of the cloister and the young women of the world. The spiked wheel having become emblematic of the saint, wheelwrights and mechanics placed themselves under her patronage. Finally, as according to tradition, she not only remained a virgin by governing her passions and conquered her executioners by wearying their patience, but triumphed in science by closing the mouths of sophists, her intercession was implored by theologians, apologists, pulpit orators, and philosophers. Before studying, writing, or preaching, they besought her to illumine their minds, guide their pens, and impart eloquence to their words. This devotion to St. Catherine which assumed such vast proportions in Europe after the Crusades, received additional éclat in France in the beginning of the fifteenth century, when it was rumored that she had spoken to Joan of Arc and, together with St. Margaret, had been divinely appointed Joan's adviser.
In 2009, a feature-length movie about Catherine began production at Pinewood Studios.[14] Entitled Katherine of Alexandria, the film will span the life of the saint, as depicted in a diary found, which is claimed to date back to the 4th Century, belonging to 'Jabal Ekatherina'.[15]

Keep Pedaling!
You know, I bet if some more of you out there join us, we might be able to nudge it below $100. As if they were reading my mind, my favorite bike store is now having their year end clearance sale. Fork over some of that money you were planning to spend on Lipitor, Avapro, and other drugs to deal with heart disease, and get started curing your ticker on a sweet new ride.
Added benefits include sending less money to Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, losing that paunch and being able to fit in your old clothes, less wear and tear on your car and on the roads, less congestion, less pollution, and finally peace and quiet to think or pray on your way to work or play.
Oh, one more thing; a wonderful, big appetite from all that exercise will help you appreciate great food even more.

Sadly, the pentadad only gets to do it in school vacation, as he needs to be taxi driver the rest of the year.
He'll be glad to know he did his part, though. ;-) Me, I never go any distance alone and never did figure out how to work those gears. I can barely stay upright. - 7:07 AM

I've ridden at temperatures as low as 5F. The major factors that put me in my truck instead of on my Schwinn or Trek are darkness and ice, not temperature per se.

QUOTE (DZorro @ Apr 13 2008, 11:47) |
I think i might be having some problems with this mod. It seems everytime i turn too quickly it takes way to much time to render the graphics. Is it problems with this mod, or is it my pc ?? I currently have a dual core Intel Pentium 2.66 with Nvidia 8800 GTS with 2 gig of memory. And plenty of hd space. It's not that my game is slow, it's really fast. It's just takes the rendering from distance, that actually is the problem. |
Knochen is right. You don't need 700. 150-170 is a very good setting. Possible that your rendering to make like that from this 700.

I am only 8 weeks out now. It's crunch time!!!!! At this point you cannot allow yourself to feel tired or unable to give your best with every workout. With such little time, you have to make every workout count and give it your all. It comes down to final moments to the day of the competition and all of the blood, sweat and tears leading up to it is what it's all about. Sounds dramatic right? It couldn't be closer to the truth.
My calorie burn has increased to another couple hundred per day.
Now, with addition to another day of cardio for 40 minutes, my weekly calorie burn has increased as well. My average calorie burn per day before was 2600 and now it's 3000. Still performing my plyometrics at the end of my weight training, and things are becoming intense. Although the plyos are a bit torturous the feeling of achievement afterwards is my high. Just when I think to myself "I'm not going to make it", Warren pushes me to the edge and I love every minute of it. Well, it's a love/hate relationship.
Not only has cardio changed, my diet has as well. I was having two dotFIT Pre/post workout shakes a day but now it's down to one. One of them was replaced with chicken and sweet potato. As of right now, I eat chicken 3 times per day. My bodyfat percentage is 12.6 and I am still holding my weight at 130 lbs. I am so happy with this. I explain to my female clients that the number on the scale doesn't mean as much as they think.
It's odd to women to hear my joy when my weight increases or remains the same. Go by how your clothes fit more so than looking at the numbers. Of course when beginning a healthy lifestyle, your weight will decrease but at some point that slows down, don't get so caught up in a specific number. If you are gaining muscle, keep in mind muscle weighs more than fat. These dotFIT supplements are helping me retain muscle as I decrease my body fat. This is so important right now that my size remains and I just chizzle my body into a sculpture. Exciting isn't it??
I have just began some practice with my mandatory poses and it looks like my hamstrings have gained some size. All I can hope for is that I have improved from the last time and I have given my best with the preparation and my performance. There is only so much I can control and I am giving it my all!!!!

to still be upset & angry with DH? He doesn't seem to know what's wrong
(25 Posts)Holla & Dontmind both give good idea's, go with one of those as clearly you need time off & don't seem to be getting it. Yanbu to be pissed off but yabu not to say why.
I'd be upset too, but I do think husbands need things to be spelt out to them sometimes. Mine does, and I find its a common story when talking to friends. Tell him calmly how you felt, explain why it was important to you, then tell him what you want him to do next. Give him the opportunity to make it up to you. If he doesn't, then you get to legitimately have a go at him.
Great advice thanks
I would text back "I'm upset and disappointed I didn't get to go to [event] when you promised I would be able to have some childfree time to do this. We can discuss it tomorrow, its highlighted how little 'time off' I get and how you don't seem to think it's important that you help out so I can get a break. Let's look at how to fix this, it's making me resent you and I hate feeling like that."
Then make it clear when you want to do something, talk about it as "my break" or "my time off" so he can see it in those terms as "big deal"
Holla that's great advice. I would do the same. OP YANBU to be fed up - I'd be pissed off too that I'd been looking forward to a bit of a break and because of his arsing about I got stuck with the DCs on my own AGAIN.
text "we'll talk tomorrow"
then tomorrow, BF DC2, get yourself dressed and ready to go out, tell DH briefly why you are upset and say "so I'm going out today instead" then swan out of the house leaving him with both DCs and don't return until you next have to BF.
I know you're right nefertarii about the PA, but I also wish he understood in the first place, as Zigzag said above.
Don't text it will make no sense.
Talk to him about it tomorrow, preferably as you are arranging a time for you to go off and get a coffee by yourself.
You can't moan unless you actually tell him.
Its very passive aggressive to sulk and expect him to know what's wrong. Speak to him
Don't text him, speak to him. Spell it out. He is so busy that it probably hasn't occurred to him that an hour without a toddler or baby clinging on to you is a really really big deal to someone who never gets it. Make sure he understands, be angry - that's ok - but speak to him rather than doing it in a text.
Have you answered his text asking if anything is wrong? If not then I'd just text back that you're just really disappointed you missed your planned event.
Even though I've just posted the opposite you could reasonably expect him to know it'd mean a lot to you and make an effort to sort himself.
Is it wise to text him how I feel, or should it wait til the morning when I'm likely to have forgotten anyway?
I can understand wanting to relax a bit at the weekend. But his extreme faffing made me miss out on lunch and on a nice me-only-event
Aww with DC2, fair enough
You have to tell him though, you can't expect him to acknowledge how you feel or take responsibility for getting his arse into gear if you've not said anything.
It's like you'd be randomly punishing him, and that does look particularly bad if it's a man doing it to a woman, so the same'd apply in your case I suppose.
He won't know what is wrong unless you tell him. Clearly and concisely explain what he did/did not do, what the consequences were, and how it made you feel.
If he has any decency he will make it up to you.
Sounds like he is used to taking all the time he wants to work, network etc with you providing all the childcare, so for him today was just his normality, putting himself/work first.
Does he really NEED to do ALL this evening/weekend stuff for work?
Even if he does, he should give you regular breaks when he's home.
I'm pretty good at faffing at the weekend, it takes me about an hour longer to do stuff I do all week, but I haven't got to rush against the clock.
But time just disappears.
DC2 has a bf before bed. Unfortunately DH can't hep with that
The faffing involved sitting on the sofa, shaving his head (DIY haircut) and filling out a visa form for a business trip abroad next week! Why on earth he didn't start all of this earlier I don't know.
I don't think he faffed on purpose, I think he is crap at time management sometimes. And knowing what's important.
What kind of things was he faffing with?
Could'nt he have put the DC to bed and you stay on at the event?
What did the 'faffing' involve?
YANBU to be annoyed with him but YABU not to tell him why.
Yanbu at all. Do you think he faffed on purpose ? Seems rather odd and selfish. You should've hurried him! Sorry you didn't get your alone time (as I call it). Can he take the kids out tomorrow?
sorry that was long
DH has been working late most of this week due to the nature of his work - lot of evening events etc. Fine, I can cope with the help of wine (we have 2 DC, 2.5yo & 8month old).
Today we were all going to go to the full day event he is involved with, it would be fun for me & the kids to see some of our friends, they can run around etc. I was especially looking forward to the event DH had got me a ticket for, which started at 1.45pm. It was my bit of kids-free time, much looked forward to.
That was the plan...
To cut a very long story short, he faffed around so much in the morning that we were too late for me to go to my event, and I got stuck with the kids while he had a meeting straight after we arrived.
I feel very taken for granted today. He knows I generally sort everything out when we're going somewhere (ie feed the kids, get bags ready etc), except today he was meant to cook me & him lunch ,but due to the enormous faffing, he didn't have time. Nor did he tell me he wouldn't have time while he was faffing upstairs - I could've had a quick sandwich had I known he would be so late.
I'm also pissed off that he made us late for the event, so I didn't get my kids-free time (sorry about that phrase, not sure how else to describe it!). I hardly ever have time on my own (am SAHM) so this hour or so meant quite a lot to me.
I came back home to put the kids to bed, and DH is still at the event. He's called & texted asking if something's wrong - I'm bemused by the fact he doesn't have a clue why!
I need some perspective here - AIBU to still be upset about this?

And nope. No chemicals in semi-permanent dye. Apart from dihydrogen monoxide. Have you heard what that stuff can do?

Are you sure? Dihydrogen monoxide (H2O for geeky types) has been in the news a lot this past day or so. It's caused so much damage.
This has to be a joke, innit?
