What do I do now?(107 Posts)
I'm new here. My DSiL thought this would be a good place for me to find advice. And my family are old fashioned and biased
excluding my DB & DSiL and though they try to help, they are not.
Yesterday, I left my DW. I found out, well she told me, that she has slept with another man, twice. And the only reason she told me is because I brought up the subject of wanting another child.
She told she wanted another also but had to confess she cheated because she did not want to bring a child into this world for things to backfire later and me blame her for having the baby out of guilt. When asked why, she said it was in the moment and the impulse of something dangerous and feeling wanted.
We -have- had a great sexlife, we experimented and I never neglected her needs nor her mine. I do not believe it is my fault, she cheated end of, but maybe I wasn't doing something she thought I should me. It's a bloody mess.
I told her to find somewhere else to stay the night and that it was over. I do not condone cheating, it has left me with doubts whether she's done it before and if this man was more than just a 2-night stand. I cannot live like that, I cannot fix the past and I do not want to repair our marriage which she has destroyed and I do not wish to pretend for the children. I am heartbroken and clueless as to what I do now.
She is the one that cheated, she is the one who has to move out, she has agreed to this. Now to the sensitive issue; our 2 ds who are 4 & 3.
I do not want my children to leave, they have routine, they are settled in daycare and are happy. I do not want to cause them anymore confusion than I have to. How do I approach the subject of the children staying with me at home?
I am happy to do joint custody but not until she is in a stable environment, that's not to say I won't let her visit them and her have them, she can, just not for a few nights. Can I do this without sounding like the bad one?
My family say I should keep them with me and let her visit at set times but it's not that simple is it?
My DB & DSiL say they'll support me whatever but that's no help at all.
I am filing for divorce. This is certain but we need to sit down and discuss things involving the children.
Any advice on how I should talk to her about these things? And any advice on how to help the children? I feel like a failure as a parent - having been raised by old fashioned parents and having some of the same ideals, I feel like I have failed them.
Sorry for the rant.
Thank you everyone for your input.
She won't be staying tonight. She wants to fix the relationship, I do not, so she said she doesn't want to here because it hurts her too, even though I offered to sleep on the sofa. The children are at my DB's when they come home she will do the normal routine and then go to her parents and come back in the morning where we will explain to the children.
She has always wanted to live closer to her parents and has jumped on this oppertunity. To her it was either all or nothing. I cannot forgive her nevermind forget so she is leaving.
As for the children; she will stay with her parents until she finds somewhere to live, that way we both are happy that it won't upset the children anymore than possible. They will still attend daycare and visit grandparents.
Only thing that will change is that they will spend 2 weeks with me and then 2 weeks with her and Saturdays spent on a family outing somewhere. We plan to have an agreement written up and signed by both of us.
It was so hard to remain unemotional and having to bite my tongue on a few occassions. It was awkward, tense and downright awful. I love her but she always knew my thoughts on cheating.
She is subbornly financially independant and rightly so, she has worked at her career and me at mine. The house is rented so I will pay all the bills as I will still live her and she her own when she finds a place. The only thing she requests is that we still share bills regarding the children and that I postpone the divorce in case we can make it work (I highly doubt it) but I happy to comply.
Basically, she wants nothing to do with me (aside things that include the children) if I refuse to even try at this relationship. So, that's made things clear...
Does this seem reasonable? Are we asking too much or too little of each other? Everything feels cold and distant.
I think 2 weeks at each house before switching is too long for the dc, I would say 1 week at most which could be midweek to midweek not necessarily at the weekends.
We would be switching midweek, but meeting on Saturdays for a dayout if no plans have been made.
She wants more than a week with them, and posters have said I can't demand or make "terms and conditions" to suit me. Maybe 2 weeks are too long at first but I don't want to rock the boat, she already caused a fit when I suggested they spend the first 2 weeks with me to let everything sink in.
Just a thought but rather than the children having to change houses every two weeks couldn't the two of you? If you both agreed on a flat then you could both each spend two weeks in the flat and two weeks in the house. It would be a lot less disruptive for the children I think.
Good luck though.
One week periods might work better because they are more regular. They would know that each weekend there would be a swap.
I'd forget about family outings, if that means both parents, unless you are in very good terms. It may end up being too painful and not necessarily better for the children.
Also, she can't lay out the rules any more than you can. A compromise has to be reached. And to be honest, taking the children away from their home for two weeks now, at the same time as they learn about their parents separating doesn't seem like a good idea.
If she's throwing fits, it looks like she's not that reasonable. You can insist on your point of view if it's for the children's benefit.
We need our own space and I don't think sharing another property is high on our list. We are both angry. She is angry that I will not try and wants little to do with me and I am angry for obvious reason and for the fact that she has no bloody right to be angry at me.
I too would caution against family days out . I think your best bet is to proceed in a business like manner and get legal advice asap.
She is not to be trusted at the moment. Are you sure she was actually at her parents house ?
2 weeks with each is far too long for such small children.
Lwe - We were good friends before we married and hope to be again for the children and our own sake but like you say things are still very raw. She wants to be on civil terms as do I but it's hard right now.
We agreed that if she wants the two weeks, that they spend the first 2 at home. That's why we added trying to do the family thing to break things up a little - we may need to revisit and make things simpler...
Who knew how complicated just agreeing could be!
Yes, she was at her parents. Her mother called and demanded why her daughter was on her doorstep crying. Her parents said they would put her up.
I trust her with the children. I do not, however, trust her to be faithful again.
I'm afraid she would see me seeking legal advice as an aggressive move. I don't even know how to go about it...
What your dw has done will have minimal if any say on what happens now to your dc. Just because she had an affair does not mean you dictate what happens now.
You sound cocky and smug.
He's done what all women on here are told to do with a cheating spouse , make them leave so they have space to think.
He's hardly smug.
Tired if OP was a woman who has just found out her husband cheated, she'd be encouraged to do everything the OP is doing like setting clear boundaries and keeping things business like. He's hardly smug. He's obviously hurting and your comment is nasty and inflammatory towards someone who's life is being turned upside down. Shame on you
I am neither smug nor cocky. Do you really think I take pleasure in upsetting my children and ending our marriage. Let me tell you, I don't.
I have been accomadating to her wishes regarding the children but trying to be reasonable. I don't want them my kids staying in random new places, I don't think this is inreasonable and obviously everything will be discussed. I am making suggestions and offering solutions, she does not have to agree but offer other suggestions.
I am merely asking for advice in how to proceed.
You sound cocky and smug
No, he sounds like someone who knows his own boundaries and self worth, and knows he's worth more than an unfaithful partner.
I wish I'd been so decisive when I had a cheating partner.
If this was a woman posting she would be being told to ltb, make him realise what he's lost and to dictate when he can see his children. Double standards as usual on mn. (Hmm)
Op, what has happened doesn't dictate what happens wrt the dc, but neither can she. But even a week is too long and unsettling for such young children, they need regular contact with you both.
You need to seek legal advice, she lost the right to a day on that when she slept with someone else, and she will almost certainly seek advice...
I sympathise, but you simply don't have the right to speak as if your children are yours to organise regardless of her wishes.
Your comments on 'letting' her see them etc. lose you a lot of my sympathy. Her having an affair won't prejudice issues of contact and residency, and neither should they.
She is probably more likely than you to get residency if it goes to court.
I don't mean to sound as if I am dictating. Just like her, I don't want my children to be taking away from me. As for "letting" comment what other word would you have me use, whichever way I say it people will make it out as I'm dictating things. If I stood back and didn't say anything she would take them and "let" me visit. See?
They are her children, we are simply making arrangments regarding the children. It's what we both want.
If a week is too long, any ideas how care could be shared?
I'm thinking of contacting mediation but have to pluck up the courage and send them an email of enquiry.
I think mediation would be perfect for you. You sound like you want to be reasonable and put the dc's first which is great but emotions can flair up later down the line.
I don't think you sound smug or cocky. I think you sound like someone who's life has been turned upside down by events out with their control and that's left you detached and in shock for now.
Everything you suggested sounds like the best for the dc's. I'm sure a week at each place would be something they quickly get used to
My advice would be to sort mediation and legalities quickly before either of you move on or meet someone new as that can add unexpected issues to the mix
I'm really sorry for what you are going through and wish you all the best
I am just statingy wishes, she has stated hers, we just have to find common ground and agree on something more simple. It's not a crime to state what I want to happen even though I know it's very unlikely for that to happen because what she wants for the children count too.
She's a lovely woman and a brilliant mother. It's just difficult.
Thanks, hoppingmad. All this advice is really welcome and useful.
As for mediation, do I have to ask her first, or can I enquire and then ask her if she wishes to be attend abd sort things that way? Or do they contact her? What do I do if she refuses?
Such a mes...
That I can't answer I'm afraid. My ex point blank refused to consider it and ended up not maintaining contact.
My dc's were very badly hurt. I'm glad that you are adamant not to let your dc's get hurt in the crossfire
She doesn't seem to get it, does she? Wants to work it out but if you don't forgive and forget she wants nothing to do with you .
2 weeks with you, 2 with her is too long. It should be half the week or a week at the most. A family day each weekend is a really bad idea. It will get the children's hopes up and how is it going to happen when she has already said she wants nothing to do with you because you wont' be a doormat and accept she fucked another man?
As for sounding smug . You do not. You sound sad, hurt, disappointed and calm.
She's currently bathing the children and putting them to bed and then I'll make us a coffee and bring up mediation and get her thoughts on it.
Just speculation on my part but I think she's angry and because I'm refusing she is putting up a wall a between us. I think she thought if sje confessed, it would be okay and because that didn't happen she's hating me instead. Just a theory but could be completely wrong. All I know is that it's over but I would like to remain if not friends, civil with her. If not now, later.
I never thought about the false hope just thought it would be nice for us and the children to put everything aside for at least a day. Will rethink on that too.
Hopefully she agrees to mediation, it make it easier on us if someone is there to help us reach a medium.

Sandra Star – Time For A Break – German Blonde Plays With Enormous Tits
Released: April 9, 2016
Sandra Star thinks, it's time for a break. The German blonde with enormous 32I / 70K tits works too hard and sometimes gets home from work super exhausted. To prevent this from happening, Sandra found out, the more often she takes a break from her hard work, the better she feels. Her special little helper in need is her Magic Wand vibrator, which she keeps in the office as an additional stimulant for her extremely tasty shaved pussy! The stunning hottie shows off her curvy ass in front of our DDF Network DSLR cameras and her extremely big cleavage makes you wanna motorboat her hooters right away! The office worker wears shiny red high heels and black nylon stockings, black and red lingerie and a sexy mini skirt. She doesn't take off her nerdy glasses, but she slowly slides that skirt down her endless legs and bends forward to proudly present her big jugs. Sandra can't wait to take off that G-string and massage her clit with that vibrating cock replacer! She plays with her big titties and hard nipples in today's solo show, before returning to work, as if nothing ever happened.

SNAPI is a system that allows a user to record their preferences onto a smart card or other security token.
When a card, mobile phone, key fob token or similar portable object containing SNAPI data is put into public or share IT equipment, or moved into the field of the equipment's sensor, it informs the terminal about the user's preferred user interface. The terminal could be a shared personal computer, a public kiosk, a ticket machine, a turnstile or an automated teller machine (ATM). This can enable various accessibility modes such as a high-contrast display or increased typeface size, audible prompts, increased time for responses for the duration of the transaction. When the transaction is complete, the terminal returns to its default settings. The coding is specified in the European standard EN 1332-4. It has been supported by Lasseo to include SNAPI coding is included in various UK local authority smart card schemes

The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the wdvrctrl.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process itself does not contain any references to its author. However, a few interesting pieces of information are available from other sources.
Description: Wdvrctrl.exe is not essential for the Windows OS and causes relatively few problems. Wdvrctrl.exe is located in the C:\Windows folder.
The file size on Windows 10/8/7/XP is 94,208 bytes.
There is no file information. The program has no visible window. The file is located in the Windows folder, but it is not a Windows core file. The process is loaded during the Windows boot process (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run). The file is not a Windows system file. Wdvrctrl.exe is able to record keyboard and mouse inputs. Therefore the technical security rating is 81% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify wdvrctrl.exe related errors
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as wdvrctrl.exe. Therefore, you should check the wdvrctrl.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of wdvrctrl.exe: based on 11 votes with 11 user comments. 7 users think wdvrctrl.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. 3 users think it's probably harmless. One user thinks it's neither essential nor dangerous. 3 users don't grade wdvrctrl.exe ("not sure about it").
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with wdvrctrl. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the wdvrctrl.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. BMalwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

"Honey Boo Boo Makes A Farting Game" And Other Celebrity News No One Cares About
Nothing about this week's title should sound surprising. And it isn't.
Nothing about this week's title should sound surprising. And it isn't.
Honey Boo Boo made her triumphant return this week. The second season of 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' premiered Wednesday night, and we learned a lot.
We're hard pressed to think of a better way to showcase the two main genres of reality television than this side-by-side comparison of the Thompson (of 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' fame) and the Kardashian families' Christmas cards.
Well, the year is nearly over, so let's look back and hate on it a little bit. So many, many things were annoying this year. People starting saying "cray-cray" all the time, and for some reason they also all decided it was okay to waggle their chewed up gum halfway out of their mouths on the train. It's not. It's never okay.
If you're scrambling to figure out your costume for Halloween this year, why not take inspiration from your favorite characters on television? We'...
We've smothered the masses with costume ideas for you and your crew, and/or quite possibly soon to be epic wheelchair. Fortunately, we haven't forgotten the rest of you friendless, internet-loving basement dwellers out there. Yes, it's time to make your clever 2012 "meme" costume.
One of our new favorite things about Halloween is funny, candid pictures of people being scared senseless in a haunted house. We had to ask ourselves though, what were they seeing that was so scary? We put our heads together, and we think we've figured it out. Here are our guesses at what was so scary in that haunted house. Because it certainly wasn't a guy in a wolf mask jumping out of nowhere.

Music on hold works when someone calls in with no problem. When a caller is blind-transferred to an internal extension, during the time while they are waiting for the receiver to pick up they hear no hold music, simply dead air.
How can I set it up so that the music on hold works both for calls on the Outside and Inside?
7 Replies
May 30, 2012 at 10:04 UTC
You would have to transfer them to a Queue for hold purpose. There is no music on hold for extension to extension transferring.
May 30, 2012 at 10:05 UTC
Or you could also park the call, I believe that will play music on hold.
May 30, 2012 at 11:03 UTC
Thanks Mark. So how do you park a call?
May 30, 2012 at 11:29 UTC
Park a call is *0, pickup is *1 and it gets a little more detailed with that if you want to do some fancier stuff.
If you have Yealink T26 or T28 phones you can set the soft keys on those phones to Park/Pickup and BLF automatically. It's probably the best piece of hardware if you plan on using the park feature. That is called "Shared Parking".
May 30, 2012 at 11:30 UTC
This place has CISCO IP 504G phones only. Is there a special button for that on the phone? Can you program the phone itself to play music when someone is on hold?
May 30, 2012 at 11:44 UTC
You can purchase sidecars for the 504g to use the Shared Parking feature but you must use the sidecar. I'm not sure if there is any way to just play music on hold by pressing a button.
May 31, 2012 at 12:43 UTC
I can confirm that music will play while a call is parked. However, call parking is not an intuitive feature with 3CX when used with certain phones, including your 504G units. There is the possibility of parking multiple calls in the same orbit, or forgetting what park orbit any particular call is in, etc.
My way of dealing with this was to use the SPA509G units, which have 12 "line" buttons. The four round buttons under the screen I have programmed for shared park orbits SP0-SP3 (3CX has up to SP9 built in). When a call comes in, anyone can park a call in any of those four orbits by simply pressing any of the four buttons that isn't already lit up. As soon as they do that, everyone's phone will have that same button start blinking. Then, they use the intercom to inform the appropriate party that there is a call for them on, for example, "Park 2". That party can connect to the call simply by pressing the 2nd button from the left.

I hadn't been since shortly after the Times review and I couldn't find any other recent reports. I went with 6 Chinese friends. We had:
Pumpkin pancakes--definitely not as good as before, somewhat tasteless and greasy.
Fish soup with sour vegetable--delicious, delicate, impeccable fish.
Mao's pork shoulder--delicious, much better than before
Shrimp with very peppery salt--terrific, we were all sucking the heads
Dried beef with white pepper--a star of the meal, very spicy, very intense
Kong xin cai with furu (ong choy with fermented tofu)--a nice contrast, simple and fresh
Smoked duck---way better than before, the best I have had in many years
Hunan BBQ whole fish--a big disappointment. The fish was not perfectly fresh, the many vegetables were good, but too oily, the vinegar taste was too pronounced. Everyone was getting the spicy steamed fish head, and so will I, next time.
Water cooked pressed tofu (Shui zhu xiang gan)--this was fabulous, maybe the best tofu dish I have ever eaten. It was misnamed, not "water cooked" in the usual way, but rather dry, very intensely flavored, and utterly wonderful.
The big pot of chicken (not spicy version)--basically a pot of good simple chicken broth full of bones cooked at table with tofu ad lots of veggies. OK, but not something I would get again.
On the whole, I think it has gotten better, even much better: but the old specialities are not as good as before, at least not last night. Still jam packed, very boisterous, lots of beer.

Keep The Gold Line Moving
Fire River Drills as it Mills in Alaska
By Greg Klein
As Americans celebrated the Fourth of July last week, some Americans and Canadians celebrated the rebirth of an Alaska mine. This was the day that Fire River Gold Corp cranked up the mill at its recently reopened Nixon Fork Mine in the Tintina Gold Belt. "We started up the mill on July 4 and ran on waste for two days," President/COO Richard Goodwin reports. "Then we started running it on low grade, and we'll be switching to full-on ore."
Goodwin continues, "We do have a stockpile ahead of the mill of about 3,000 tonnes, and that's what we'll be chewing through while we continue to ramp up the mine to full production." That's slated for October, when both mine and mill will be operating near capacity. The company plans its first shipment of concentrate this month and will pour its first dore bar in August.
Nixon Fork has gone through two previous incarnations. "One was 1993 to 1998; that was Nevada Goldfields," says Goodwin. "Then there was a very brief campaign, only about four or five months of mining in 2007 under St Andrew Goldfields.
"There were several factors behind the 2007 shutdown," he adds. "The price of gold wasn't really strong. I think it was around $750 to $900. Also they were contract-mining, which resulted in a very high mining cost. Probably those are the main reasons, but also they hadn't done a lot of drilling at that point. They did their drilling afterwards, not before mining. Had they done their drilling before they went mining, they'd have had more success."
July 7 Nixon Fork assays include 13.33 grams per tonne gold over 8.1 metres, 25.56 g/t over 5.4 metres (including 86.16 g/t over 1.4 metres), 40.93 g/t over 2.8 metres, 14.69 g/t over 4.4 metres, 57.01 g/t over 4.4 metres and 93.52 g/t over 8.1 metres (including 190.23 g/t over 1.9 metres). June 6 assays include 107.13 g/t over 8.4 metres (including 164.05 g/t over 5.1 metres), 33.28 g/t over 2.9 metres, 28.92 g/t over 3.1 metres, 20.44 g/t over 4.2 metres and 17.11 g/t over 5.8 metres. Fire River's 28,000-metre 2011 drilling campaign continues.
"Our latest announcement is a bit different from our previous results over the last few months," Goodwin says. "We've really come to the end of the ore definition phase, where we were hitting the stopes that were going to be mined early. You'll see in the new results that there are two new areas being drilled, and this is more pure exploration where we're looking for additional zones. We've pretty well defined our early-stage production adequately enough. We can't really perfectly define it through drilling; you actually have to go inside the stope, mine it and test-hole drill it, which we're doing right now. But we're at a sufficient level of confidence to support our first six months of operation."
According to a September 2010 NI 43-101 report, Nixon Fork has 105,168 gold ounces indicated and 63,256 ounces inferred, at a 10 g/t cut-off. A revised resource estimate should appear later this year.
The key here is to replenish what you mine on an annual basis. I believe the property has the potential to go for 10 years —Richard Goodwin
Goodwin points out that rehabilitating a recently used mine certainly has its advantages. "We didn't add very much infrastructure," he says. "They had spent about $18 million on upgrades and the start of the CIL [cyanide-in-leach] plant. We're going to put in about $5 million to finish off the CIL plant. We did a study that estimated $7.6 million for the plant, but we're actually putting it in much cheaper than that. We also got about $3-million-worth of equipment to upgrade the underground mining fleet. Pretty much everything else was in place."
According to a February 2011 preliminary economic assessment, Nixon Fork will deliver an internal rate of return of 549% and net present value of $60.9 million over its first two years of operation, based on a gold price of $1,200 per ounce and operating costs of $447 per ounce.
The old mine also left substantial gold behind in the tailings pond, 34,664 ounces indicated and inferred at 7.6 g/t. By 2012, in addition to its mine feed, the plant will get an additional 100 tonnes per day of tailings.
At press time, Fire River had 99.2 million shares outstanding, trading at $0.50 for a market cap of $49.6 million.
Goodwin concludes, "The key here is to replenish what you mine on an annual basis. At this point it does not have a large resource—it's only 200,000 tonnes, which represents about three to four years of mining. I believe the property has the potential to go for 10 years, but it's a matter of doing the exploration in time to put those tonnes into the production forecast."

Most trends start from a new twist on something familiar. Or in this case, hyper focusing on one particular service. That is very true of the new trend blow dry bars.
From London to the West Coast to now all across the country, women are popping into blow dry bars. These bars specialize in just that… blowdrying.
"Women now are very busy," explains Karen Galkoff, owner of Fringe Spa Salon in Sarasota. "We have children. We have full-time jobs. We literally want to pop in. We want to get our hair done, in and out. Very quickly. And this is perfect."
"We do have a lot of women here that are working women," explains Savannah Sonderman, assistant manager of Simply Spoiled in Sarasota. "They don't have a lot of time in their day. They want to get their hair done and get out the door. So I think that's a big part of it."
While Fringe has remained a full service salon, they've maintained a specific Blow Dry Menu as part of their services. By specializing in the blow dry service, the salons are able to accommodate tight schedules, explains Galkoff.
"We're looking at about 30 minutes, depending on what they want. Obviously all styles are different but we say between 30 and 45 minutes. We can have you out, ready to go."
While some ladies will space out their normal color and cut appointments, many will make the blow out part of their normal routine.
"A lot of professionals like to have their hair done once or twice a week," says Angelique Still, manager of Simply Spoiled. "It eliminates a lot of hassle for them, because the blow dry usually lasts about three to four days."
Sara Black, a British native who now resides on Siesta Key agrees.
"People are getting used to the idea that you don't have to wait eight weeks to have your hair done," says Black. You can go in any time, have your hair done, and you look great. Like you've had your cut and your color done, but it's just your blow dry."
It does prove a gamble for salons to make the switch to strictly blow drying as they have the potential to lose some of their more profitable services. But clients, like Julie Tanner of Sarasota enjoy the flexibility.
"You don't have to make an appointment months or weeks in advance," says Tanner. "Spur of the moment, if you want your hair done or you have something coming up, you can do it. You can just call up and get it done right away, that's the best appeal."
In addition to the convenience, many women enjoy it for another reason, explains Black. "The appeal is when you're talking to someone, the one thing they say is your face and your hair. If I can't do my hair that great... if I'm going out somewhere with friends or whatever it might be, I want to look and feel great. And the way for me to do it is to go and have my hair done. A blow dry, that's it. And I'm off."

When you need to refill your HP 2225 Thinkjet or HP 2227 Quietjet printer, you must use quality HP 51604A ink refills, which are the cartridges that are compatible with these printers. It is not always easy, however, to know when it is time to replace an existing refill with a cheap HP 51604A cartridge from Clickinks. After all, no one wants to be caught in the middle of printed project with an insufficient amount of ink to finish the printout. This guide will help you understand when your ink levels are low and what you can do to maintain the quality of your cartridge for as long as possible. That way, you will only be purchasing HP 51604A products when you really need them.
Hewlett-Packard tells users that they should avoid touching the head of the cartridge directly when they are removing our inserting it. This prevents damage to the cartridge, which is essential to getting the most out of each one.

Hewlett-Packard recommends holding its HP 51604A products up in the air in front of you and examining the ink bladder. When the ink bladder is collapsed, then ink is almost gone and it is time to order HP 51604A cartridges. Of course, you will want to order our quality, cheap HP 51604A ink refills when this occurs. This is because our HP 51604A sales will save you a great deal of money and make it easy to stay well stocked with HP 51604A products.

With his team's victory in the Rose Bowl on Monday, Oregon coach Chip Kelly will come away from this season with $235,000 in bonus money, plus a one-year contract extension that will be worth at least $4 million.
According to his contract obtained by USA TODAY, Kelly earned $75,000 for participating in a bowl game as the Pacific-12 Conference's No. 1 choice and $100,000 for winning the Pac-12 championship. The Ducks' 45-38 victory over Wisconsin virtually assures that they will be ranked in the top 10 of the final Associated Press media poll, an achievement that will be worth $60,000. Final polls will be released after the Jan. 9 BCS title game in New Orleans.
In addition, the team's 12th victory of the season triggers a provision in Kelly's contract that extends the deal by one year under the terms scheduled to be in effect for the 2015-16 contract year, when Kelly would be paid $4 million. Kelly was guaranteed $2.8 million this season and will make $3.5 million next season.
This past season, according to USA TODAY's annual survey of coaching compensation, Kelly was the 12th-highest paid football coach at $2.8 million.

Can I sell a private house through Zoopla
Asked on Jun 29 2013, Selling in Reading | Report content
Answers (3)
Sort by: Oldest | Recent | Highest rated
Unfortunately not unless you are an agent. Only registered agents can market properties through portals such as right move and zoopla.Answered on Jul 2 2013, Report content
The cheapest way to get your property onto Zoopla is to use an "online estate agent". They charge a fixed fee of around £400 (compared to 1-2%+VAT with traditional estate agents).Answered on Jul 20 2013, Report content
Hi, Unfortunately you will not be able to advertise your property on Zoopla due to the portal only being open for estate agents to advertise on. If you would like to advertise on Zoopla you will need to instruct an agent who advertises on here to let your property for you. You can search for agents using the 'find agents' tab at the top of this page. We hope this helps and best of luck with the sale of your property.Answered on Jan 6 2014, Report content

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The San Jose Sharks are bringing back coach Todd McLellan and general manager Doug Wilson for another season despite another early playoff flop.
Owner Hasso Plattner said Wednesday he was accepting Wilson's recommendation to keep McLellan after the Sharks became just the fourth NHL team ever to lose a best-of-seven playoff series after winning the first three games.

The No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports may have fallen behind but the six-time Sprint Cup champs are heating up for a strong summer run
Chad Knaus did not mince words on Sunday, "We're not where we need to be."
Knowing Knaus' competitive nature, that's not surprising.
Even after Jimmie Johnson posted consecutive victories at Dover International Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway – following an 11-race drought -- Knaus is seldom satisfied.
The six-time Sprint Cup champion crew chief conceded that the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team's focus on the 2013 title detracted from this year's initial effort.
In simple terms, Knaus fell behind.
"We're still behind. I think we're behind on just a little bit of everything...When you are fortunate enough to battle for a championship, your main focus goes solely on trying to win a championship...we lost focus on 2014.
"But that's just inherent. That's what happens because you have to focus on the goal that's directly in front of you."
Yet given the strength of this season's champion contenders, the weaknesses of the No. 48 team – however slight in comparison to other crews in the Cup garage – seemed more stark than ever.
And that wasn't lost on Knaus.
"When you have guys like the Penske guys who were basically out of the championship hunt, when you have a guy like Rodney Childers who's an amazing crew chief, a great crew chief, you give him six months off to where all he has to do is prepare for the next season, he'd better come out guns blazing, especially when he works for Kevin Harvick," Knaus said.
"The further we get into the season, the more I think that that'll level back off."
Knaus says the team has "a long ways to go yet to understand exactly what we need" given the new rules package for the Generation 6 cars which "change the way you approach a race car". He acknowledged that the advantages Hendrick discovered last year "were minimized" and affected the comfortable feel Johnson experienced with his cars.
Still, the radio exchange after Johnson took the checkered flag revealed that Knaus may have already solved the problem.
"I told you, you were going to like that race car," Knaus said.
"Yeah, man, what a ride," Johnson replied.
Knaus enlisted the help of his fellow Hendrick teammates and his own squad to return to championship form.
"When we do finally start to hit our stride, all those things that everybody worked on starts to culminate, and we can get out there and really start to make things happen. I think we're seeing a lot of the fruit of a lot of people's labor right now at the racetrack." Johnson, who has jumped from seventh in the point standings to fourth in the last two races, agrees.
"We're now at a point where we've identified areas to produce speed and bringing new versions and new cars to the track," Johnson said. "What we learned here is good and it's going to help change our system, and then Pocono, Indy, those ‑‑ I know Chad is working hard on our Indy race car. We should have a nice one there, too."
Knaus admits that Pocono Raceway, where the tour will race this weekend, is his favorite track due to the challenges of devising the car's set up for three distinct corners. Johnson has three wins at the 'Tricky Triangle' and a series-best average finish of 8.8.
Before heading to Pocono, the team will test at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and perform the Goodyear tire test at Chicagoland Speedway next week – one of just five tracks where the No 48 crew has not visited victory lane. Despite their recent success, Knaus believes, "we've still got to room to grow."
"I'm looking forward to the next series of race cars that we build at Hendrick Motorsports. I'm excited about that. I feel like if the 4 car (Harvick) didn't have the troubles that they would have had today, they would have been a serious threat. So we need to continue to work to try to minimize those threats.
"But we're close. We're definitely close. We had solid pit stops (on Sunday). They needed to be a little bit better. We had a good race car today. It needs to be a bit better. So I think if we can start digging in a little bit deeper we'll finally have what we want when we get to about September time."
From a personal standpoint, Knaus, who appeared only weeks ago to be ready for another 'milk and cookies 'sit-down with Rick Hendrick, feels he's "at the best point in my life."
And that might be a greater threat for his competition.
"So has Mr. Hendrick as far as making me understand that I've got to take time away from the facility and understand that there's life outside of motorsports.
