My buddy lives in Houston, TX, and he was charged w/ misdemeanor & convicted back in 2004 for assaulting his wife, (2′nd marriage.) In 12/2006 he was arrested & charged w/ 2′nd misdemeanor – assault/bodily injury f/ assaulting wife, (2′nd marriage.) Bond set @ $5K, he paid $500 & released from jail. He received a 3′rd charge (FELONY) – assault w/deadly weapon in 2/2007, (2′nd marriage.) Bond $$ for the 2′nd misdemeanor was enhanced to a FELONY @ $50K. He was charged – 3r’d time (FELONY) in 2/2007 – assault w/ deadly weapon, (2′nd marriage.) Bond set at $0 bond. He’s still in jail. Arraingment is set in a week or so in court.
NOTE: He’s been in jail & prison in the past, i.e. possession of drugs, selling drugs, traffic tickets, welfare fraud, bad checks, domestic violence/1′st marraiage. I think his fate will depend a lot on the prosecutor, judge & criminal history. So, what’s the likelihood he’ll get probation or end up in prison? If he goes 2 prison, what’s the min/max time?
So my cousin was telling me about this movie she watched and I want to know what it’s called. She forgets what its called so I’m asking you guys.
Okay so its basically about a girl and her friend who goes to France together and the father of her is an FBI and he and his wife are divorced and then at first he doesn’t let the girl go to France because of the kiddnapping these days but then his wife made him let her go and he told her wherever she goes she has to give him a call so he knows where she is. But when that day come he drove her to the airport and found out she wasn’t just going to France but the whole world. And when she got to France she met this guy who she and her friend let drive to the estate that they were staying at. And when they got there her friend was playing music loud and the was calling her dad. And then the same guy who offered them a drive to the estate came and kidnapped her and her friend while she was on the phone with her dad and when she was kidnapped her dad was still on the phone because she was hiding under the bed. And the dad told her to scream what the guys look like so he can investigate. And when she got caught the guy spoke so the dad heard. And then the bad guys told the girls to sleep with gyus for money (basically prosititutes) but the guys get the money. And if they don’t they would inject heroin in the girls so the girls wouldn’t be in control of theirselves. And eventually her friend dies. And her dad saves her.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks!

Thanks.

Being the loving husband that i am, i willingly took my darling wife to watch twilight not once, twice, but THREE TIMES! well anyone, here’s my question:
the movie takes Place in Forks, WA. but i looked up the town. within several miles of the town’s radius, it looks like a desert, probably from overlogging (being that it IS sorrounded by lush rainforest)
But they didn’t even film in the town. when i look at pics, forks WA doesn’t even look remotely similiar to portland oregon. and I guess instead of phoenix, they filmed in pasadena.
i think that’s a shame, because I suppose the intention of the location of forks was that it was supposed to be even crummier than phoenix, but from actual photos of the town, i’ll assume that forks is pretty ugly and depressing also, unlike the depiction in the film.
I have more q’s about the film, i’ll post them separately.
Okay, so maybe I was a little tipsy when the cops dragged me away, shirtless, for getting into a fight with that horse outside of Walmart, but I was NOT drunk! And yes, I had had two or twelve beers when I stood up in church, once again shirtless, and urged everyone to join me in “the wave”, but I definitely was not intoxicated; I hold my liquor well. Besides, that was the most boring funeral EVER, and it needed someone to break the depressing mood.
My wife keeps nagging me, though, saying crazy stuff like, “My mother told me not to marry you! She said I’d regret it if I had kids with a man who got an erection around beer!”, and also that I was being a terrible father, and setting a poor example for my kids. That can’t be true, though, since the kids get lots of sympathy gifts from their school faculty and church members, as “the kids with the drunk dad.” All in all, I think she’s making a big deal out of nothing. All men love beer, and I just am relaxing, but I do NOT have a drinking problem. How can I get her to lighten up and face reality?
Sorry it’s long..
Case Study 3 – Paula Evans
Paula Evans is a 25 year old woman brought to the emergency room by her boyfriend, who has become progressively more alarmed at her complaints, demands, and errant behavior. Her chief complaint to the staff is “I keep thinking about wanting to kill myself.” Paula is a competent secretary, has her own apartment, and is self supporting. She is also attending university classes in the evening because she wants to advance her education and does not “want to stay a secretary all my life.”
The current crisis began when her boyfriend, Mark, refused to consider her demands for marriage after a 2 year exclusive relationship. Paula began to call him at work demanding more and more time, finally threatening to kill herself if he didn’t spend every evening with her. Mark reported that her demands, phone calls, and escalating threats were becoming intolerable and were making him want to break off the relationship entirely. On the evening Mark brought Paula to the emergency room, he had told her that he had to go on a business trip and would be away for several days. Paula insisted that he was doing this just to get away from her. She became severely agitated and began to talk wildly about killing herself. In the emergency room, Paula angrily belittles her boyfriend in front of the staff and accuses him of using and then rejecting her. After physically separating the arguing couple, the staff is able to obtain a history of the progressive development of Paula’s symptoms.
In response to the stress of the past several months, Paula has developed fluctuating depressive moods, a tendency to over sleep (especially sleeping in the evenings and on weekends), and a tendency to binge eat that has resulted in a 20 pound weight gain. Paula says she is constantly anxious and has been having increasing difficulty concentrating on her studies. She has continued to work throughout this stressful period, seeking support from those in her office. Attention from Mark or her co-workers produces a brightening of her mood that she is able to sustain while they are with her.
Paula experiences her most severe symptoms when she is alone. These include prolonged fantasies about hilling her boyfriend and a desire to hurt herself. She says that on several occasions she has cut her thighs with razor blades and describes watching herself do this as if from a distance, numb and dead inside and feeling little pain. Paula says that at these times she feels fat and unattractive as well as completely unlovable and worthless. At such moments, she calls Mark on the phone and threatens to commit suicide unless he comes and keeps her company. Mark reports that she has also begun to lose control of her temper. For example, shortly before he brought her to the emergency room, she attacked him with her fists in the midst of an argument.
Paula was the youngest of four children and one of two girls. Her parents separated and divorced when she was 3 years old because of her father’s alcoholism and physical abuse of his wife and children. A family secret was that Paula was sexually abused when she was 10 years old by a brother 5 years her senior.
In adolescence, Paula associated with a rebellious group and became involved in drug abuse and early sexuality to fit in. Paula said that her mother attributed Paula’s teenage rebellion to a need to “find a father” and that she thought that Paula had gotten “her sexual urges confused with wanting to be loved and cared for.” By age 16, Paula had already embarked on the pattern of chaotic unstable involvements with men that continues to characterize her adult life.
Her first drug overdose occurred at age 17 in response to a perceived rejection by her boyfriend. A series of intense relationships followed this incident, each of which followed a similar pattern: Paula would become progressively more clinging until she gradually alienated her partners. Each rejection was marked by a period of anger and self abuse, followed quickly by a new and identical relationship. Paula’s current boyfriend is only the latest in a long series of disappointing partners.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t hate my soon to be ex. wife. i realized she was a narcissist. she was wounded as a child by her mother. however her mother still has control over her. she’s a child in an adult body. we married and blended familes. she had a daughter and i had two kids. i knew the pain for the kids and us about not working out. she obviously didn’t. she was engaged twice before me and her daughter went through multiple fathers. she told me you’re the only father she will ever know. then she left. she’s a narcissist. i stood up to her crap. she wasn’t strong enough to move away from her narcissistic mother. now her daughter is paying the price as well as my 2 kids. she’s been doing this for 10 years and everybody cleans up her messes so she just moves on. her mother is so narcissistic she wanted the marriage to fail. they say the best way to make a narcissist realize and grow is to expose them. outside she projected the perfect woman. she had DWI’s, abortions, and broken relationships that nobody questioned. It was oh you pick the wrong guys. Wrong! I finally exposed her to her parents. The ones she was afraid of. All the stuff they didn’t know only the poison she told everybody to get sympathy. Now she’s stalking me every morning. I’m the parent she never had and she’s mad as hel@. They say punish the little kid in them then love them for it because they never had that when they were a kid. I’ve had no contact with her for 3 weeks though after she left. What should I do considering she’s a narcissist? If you don’t know about narcissists, don’t answer. You wouldn’t understand what they need or what you need to do so they can experience true love. They never had it and it’s foreign to them. I don’t want to destroy her but just her false self so she can love. How to do that? I really need answers from the therapists trained in this.
I believe our last lovemaking session — if you could call it that — was Wednesday or so. It mostly consisted of her barking commands and me going along like a robot, as usual. In any case, I am planning to have a deep and meaningful conversation with my wife very soon about some indiscretions of hers that I have been made aware of, and was wondering if there is a set time one should have between lovemaking, and, if it comes to this, asking for a separation.
I’m not leaving my wife high and dry. She earns an excellent income and has the services of our au pair, Krystka. The separation shouldn’t be a major ordeal for me. I own a small cottage next door, and the kids and even Krystka could pop by whenever my wife is her oftentimes belligerent (or drunk) self. While my cottage is old and has water issues and just an old B&W TV that gets 2.5 channels, it’s fine by my bohemian standards. I have funds.
I hope it doesn’t come to this, but can one ask for separation if he/she just had sex?
we don’t want to tell anyone for the first 2-3 months that we’re pregnant, but we have several holiday and dinner parties to attend. not that my wife drinks to excess, but it will be noticeable if she spends 3 hours at a party and doesn’t touch a glass of wine. “I’m sick” won’t work – everyone knows that excuse already and will see right through it.
again, to repeat, “i’m sick” won’t work. That includes ear infections, antibiotics, etc. We will have friends at these parties who know we both enjoy wine. And some of these parties are at our house, where the designated driver excuse won’t work. I like the “low carb” diet answer so far – more answers along those lines are helpful. Insights into society’s position on drinking and why people ask their friends why they’re not drinking are not so helpful…
DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — Although no anabolic steroids were found, Benoit’s body contained the anti-anxiety drug Xanax and the painkiller hydrocodone, according to a statement from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The GBI said Benoit tested negative for blood alcohol.
Benoit’s wife, Nancy, tested positive for Xanax, hydrocodone and the painkiller hydromorphone.
The son, Daniel Benoit had Xanax in his system, the agency said. The GBI said it could not perform tests for steroids or human growth hormones on the son because of a lack of urine.
The test results were expected to shed more light on Benoit’s last moments. Authorities said Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son in their suburban Atlanta home, placed Bibles next to their bodies and then hanged himself on the cable of a weight machine.
Anabolic steroids were found in the home, leading officials to wonder if the drugs played a role in the killings. Some experts believe steroids can cause paranoia, depression and v
violent outbursts known as “roid rage.”
Federal authorities have charged Benoit’s personal physician, Dr. Phil Astin, with improperly prescribing painkillers and other drugs to two patients other than Benoit. He has pleaded not guilty.
Investigators have also raided Astin’s office several times since the deaths, seizing prescription records and other documents.
Before he was charged, Astin told the AP he prescribed testosterone for Benoit, a longtime friend, in the past. He would not say what, if any, medications he prescribed when Benoit visited his office June 22, the day authorities believe Benoit killed his wife.

that guy is a odd man. I have no idea what the truth is. He wasnt taking steriods so we cant blame it on that. And the alcohol was found in her system not his which i think is rather odd. What did he do drug and put alcohol in her before she died or strangled her? And what about the son he was drugged before he was killed to that is odd. Why would he need to drug his son its not like he is goin to try to attemp to beat him or anything i mean common! What do u people think or what happened.
