Does not look easy.
No "just came for the 2 points" answers, please.
Only serious advice will be appreciated.
Here goes the story.
The foreign guy impressed an Asian woman to the point she dreamed of marrying him, but he never told her he had a girlfriend in his home country. The woman knew about the girlfriend when it was "too late" (when the wedding was decided).
By then, the guy had listened from her lots of hidden sufferings she had not been able to express openly to anyone else, and in some sense helped her to overcome those feelings from the past. He did this sincerely, like a friend or an elder brother (though she was 5 years older than him).
They had had sexual relations once in a period of about one year. He never asked her to become his (second) girlfriend or a lover. He had no intention to hurt, but didn’t know how to tell her about his girlfriend.
Knowing about the girlfriend, or the fiancee at that time, was a total shock. She changed her job to avoid seeing him, but when she needed someone to talk about her feelings or problems, she ended calling the guy.
For the following 5+ years, the story became quite complicated, with a lot of ups and downs. At some point of time, the guy (already married and with a child) gave her a proposal, but kind of ultimatum: Let’s make a stable, peaceful relationship or let’s finish all communication. She took the first alternative, and they worked in the trade-off for several months.
It did not work. The fact that this guy had married other woman was a wound too deep for her to heal. The guy told her he believed it will never work, but she was reluctant to cut all communication with him.
The guy left the country with his family, without having clearly defined the relation with the other woman. She sent him an email asking technical questions (about a laptop), and he did the support part but also tried again to define what would be the future (if any) of the relation. He was already desperate about it, and after some interchange of mails and calls he sent an email that, she said, hurt her again.
It was hard specially because she had been putting lot of efforts in "remaking her world," adapting herself to the idea of living without having the guy close, in some sense. She had already gotten some peace of mind.
The guy felt bad for her after that, but he is already mad about the situation, contrasting with her. He thinks there is no good future for it, and he wants to end it.
You are having problems with letting go because you became too emotionally dependent on him. He was your source of comfort and advice. I feel he was sincere with his concern over helping you but in the end found it too difficult to continue as you wanted more from him. He knew it was wrong to continue because he was already married. You also knew it was wrong to continue because he was married and it was difficult for you to be second choice. He was right in ending it. Now what you need to do is work on not being so dependent on him for emotional support. Find other people and resources to fill that void. For now you are hurt, but in the long run you will one day see how it is a much better thing for you to not remain involved with a man who will never be available to you. Good luck to you!
What I’m about to say is the truth. You may not like the truth, you may deny the truth, you may feel angry at the truth. So if you don’t want to hear the truth please stop right here.
Canada is 143 years old
All and I mean all the white people who are living here in Canada right now are the descendants of immigrants. There is not a single blond haired, blue eyed person living in Canada right now that is native to Canada.
The natives of Canada are the Native Indians, they are brown people
The country of Canada was built and established mostly by the hard work of white people.
The land that is called Canada was officially stolen from the Native Indians 143 years ago.
Canada has the world’s best human rights laws.
To use an analogy to better understand the viewpoint of the immigrants that come here. Lets say the Chinese started to flock to the country of Niger. To those who don’t know where that is it’s a small country in the continent of western Africa. Some of the Chinese start buying the land from the Nigerians, some just outright kill the Nigerians, some engage in predatory trading with the Nigerians, some bring diseases with them that kill off thousands of Nigerians and some marry for love with the Nigerian women. After a few hundred years of intensive hard work the Chinese have taken over the country of Niger and built a great powerful country. A country 100 times better than the original country of Niger.
They call this country Chiger and for some reason decide to open their doors to immigration. So the Japanese, the Koreans, the Vietnamese and other Chinese start immigrating to this new country of Chiger. These new immigrants because they look so much like the Chinese or are in fact Chinese integrate fully into Chiger society. Now there is a new wave of immigrants but these immigrants come from Pakistan, England, Poland, India, Brazil, Mauritania, Botswana etc. These new immigrants look nothing like the rest of Chiger society.
The truth is too many of these new wave of immigrants don’t work, they take welfare, they commit crime, they bring their elders to feed off the system, they complain about Chiger and yet take the governments money. They complain about racism, they have 10 kids and expect taxpayers to pay for their kids. The Chinese are forced to bend over backwards to accommodate these new immigrants and through their tax dollars they are forced to pay for the large families of these new immigrants all the while being called a racist and a bigot without even a thank you.
Now as an objective outsider looking in do you think the rest of the world would have sympathy for the Chinese?
Must not be the China I know.They will have them all out there working for 45 cents an hour.They do not give away hardly anything in China.Thats why they have all those sweat shops.

1-Introduction:
William Shakespeare is universally regarded as the greatest dramatist and the finest poet of the English language. He lived in England during the era of Queen Elizabeth I of which historian consider the Elizabethan Age as a peak of English culture.
2-Shakespeare’s Life:
2.1) His Birth:
Shakespeare was born in a small English town named Stratford-upon-Avon, located in Warwickshire. Although the exact date of Shakespeare’s birth cannot be confirmed, the consensus is that Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564. Shakespeare is buried in the chancel of Holy Trinity Church in his hometown of Stratford, Warwickshire.
2.2)Parents/Family:
His father, John, trained as a glove-maker and married Mary Arden, the daughter of Robert Arden, a farmer from the nearby village of Wilmcote. John and Mary set up home in Henley Street, Stratford, in the house now known as Shakespeare’s Birthplace.
John Shakespeare was a prominent citizen, serving on the town council for many years and becoming Bailiff, or Mayor, in 1568. Besides his craft as a glover, he traded as a wool dealer and was also involved in money-lending.
John and Mary lost two children before William was born. They had five more children, another of whom died young.
2.3)Education:
As the son of a leading townsman, William almost certainly attended Stratford’s ‘petty’ or junior school before progressing, perhaps at the age of seven, to the Grammar School, which still stands. The grammar school’s curriculum was geared to teaching pupils Latin, both spoken and written. The classical writers studied in the classroom influenced Shakespeare’s plays and poetry; for example, some of his ideas for plots and characters came from Ovid’s tales, the plays of Terence and Plautus, and Roman history.
2.4) Marriage
It is not known what Shakespeare did when he left school, probably at the age of fourteen, as was usual. In November 1582 he married Anne Hathaway, the daughter of Richard Hathaway, a local farmer. Her home, now known as Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, still stands in the village of Shottery, a mile from Stratford.
Anne Hathaway was twice William’s age; she was 26 years old when William married her at age 18. At the time of their marriage William was eighteen and Anne was twenty-six. Their first-born child, Susanna, was baptised on 26 May 1583. Two years later twins followed, Hamnet and Judith. Shakespeare’s elder daughter, Susanna, married John Hall a Stratford physician, in 1607, and gave birth to a daughter, Elizabeth, the following year. Shakespeare’s other daughter, Judith, married Thomas Quiney.
Works:
Shakespeare was a dramatist and a poet. None of his own manuscripts of his works survive, so we have only those of his plays and poems that were printed. Scholars have worked closely with these editions for more than 350 years, trying to establish what Shakespeare originally wrote.
Thirty-seven plays are now regarded as by Shakespeare, and he collaborated with other dramatists on at least four more. He created his plays between about 1590 and 1614, and they began to be printed in cheap quarto editions in 1594. Eighteen of Shakespeare’s plays had appeared in quarto by the year of his death, 1616.
In 1623, Mr. William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies appeared in an expensive folio volume. This contained 36 plays and is now universally referred to as the First Folio. The quartos and the First Folio ensured that Shakespeare’s plays survived when they were no longer performed. These printed editions have been used since the 17th century by actors and directors to return Shakespeare’s plays to the stage. There is much debate among scholars about how the printed texts represent Shakespeare’s original plays.
Between about 1592 and 1604, Shakespeare wrote four poems as well as creating a collection of sonnets. These were printed in quarto editions between 1593 and 1609. Scholarly debate about the printed editions of the poems has focussed particularly on The Sonnets.
Poems and sonnets :
Shakespeare’s earliest poems, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece, were probably composed when the theatres were closed because of the plague. Both were written to be printed, perhaps reflecting Shakespeare’s need of the patronage of the 3rd Earl of Southampton or his intention to become known as a poet. The use of his name on the title-page of The Passionate Pilgrim (in which only a few of the poems are his) indicates that by 1599 he was already famous for his poetry.
It was once thought that the edition of The Sonnets which appeared in 1609 was unauthorised. More recently, it has been suggested that the collection was printed according to Shakespeare’s wishes.
•Venus and Adonis, created in about 1592-1593. First printed in quarto in 1593. Venus and Adonis was dedicated to Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton. The poem was regularly reprinted. In all, it appeared in 17 quarto editions before 1641.

•The Rape of Lucrece, created in about 1593-1594. First printed in quarto in 1594. The title-page calls the poem Lucrece, although the longer title appears on the half-title. The Rape of Lucrece was also dedicated to the 3rd Earl of Southampton. The poem was successful, but never as popular as Venus and Adonis. It appeared in a total of eight quarto editions before 1641.
•The Passionate Pilgrim. First printed in octavo in 1599. This first edition survives only in a two-sheet fragment. The second edition was also printed in 1599 and survives complete. A third edition of The Passionate Pilgrim appeared in 1612. Of the 20 poems in the volume, only five are by Shakespeare. They include early versions of two of his sonnets, as well as verses from Love’s Labour’s Lost.
•The Phoenix and Turtle, perhaps created in about 1601. First printed in Robert Chester’s Loves Martyr, which appeared in quarto in 1601. This work was reissued with a new title-page in 1611. The poem, which begins ‘Let the bird of loudest lay’, acquired its title only in 1807.
•The Sonnets, perhaps created during the 1590s and early 1600s. Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets were first printed in quarto in 1609. The dedication ‘to Mr W. H.’ is signed by the publisher Thomas Thorpe. The identity of the dedicatee has been suggested as the 3rd Earl of Southampton, or William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke, among others. A second edition of The Sonnets appeared in 1640, with the poems in a different order.
•A Lover’s Complaint, created in about 1603-1604. First printed in quarto alongside Shakespeare’s sonnets in 1609. A Lover’s Complaint was also included in the edition of The Sonnets of 1640.
Shakespeare death:
Shakespeare died at the age of 52 on 23 April 1616. This date is based on the Old Style, or Julian calendar of his time. The New Style, or Gregorian calendar date is 3 May 1616. Undoubtedly Shakespeare’s son-in-law, Dr. Hall attended him, but the nature of his final illness is unknown. A legend has grown up, based on a diary entry by a John Ward – a Stratford vicar. Ward wrote that "Shakspear Drayton and Ben Jhonson had a merry meeting and it seems drank too hard for Shakespear died of a feavour there contracted." This is difficult to believe as the diary entry was written fifty years after Shakespeare’s death although as vicar, Ward would have listened to local gossip and knew Judith Shakespeare in her later years; whether this is based upon fact again is open to debate.
The Theatres:
Drama was a nation-wide activity in Shakespeare’s time but only in London were there buildings designed specifically for performing plays. Most public theatres were tall, roughly circular structures, open to the sky, with a cover over part of the stage and a roof running round the edge to protect the galleries. Performances took place in the afternoons, with the actors playing on a raised stage which projected halfway into the theatre. All the women’s roles were performed by boys. The audience, which either stood in the yard around the stage or sat in the galleries, represented a wide social mix of people.
In 1599 the acting company with which Shakespeare was involved, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, built a new theatre, the Globe . Situated on the south bank of the Thames, in the suburb of Southwark, it is the theatre most closely associated with Shakespeare’s plays, and he was one of the shareholders in the enterprise. Two of his plays, Henry V and Julius Caesar, were almost certainly written during the year in which the Globe opened. In 1613, during a performance of Henry VIII, a fire broke out and destroyed the Globe, but it was rebuilt the following year.
Conclusion:
All in all, Shakespeare is not only the greatest but also the most powerful and influential of the English writers and poets, he is the master of early modern English, with his profound understanding of human nature and his ability to create such vivid and interesting characters, Shakespeare definitely has had a direct significant influence in the shaping of English literature and the development of the English language.

Hi, I wanted to buy an Xbox 360 but I am unsure of which one to buy. I have stumbled across bundles and deals online and compiled the best possible list I could find below. Please help me choose the best option for buying the Xbox 360.
Also, I have played Call of Duty 4 for the Xbox 360 and I really enjoyed it. The single player was fun but too short, but the multiplayer was very cool but did get boring after a week but nevertheless I could play that game for a few months without getting so bored that I can not play any more.
Anyways, here are the Xbox 360 buying options I have compiled.
Option 1
Console: Xbox 360 Pro 20GB
Games: Call of Duty 4
Xbox Live: 3 Month Gold Membership
Total Price: $390.00
Option 2
Console: Xbox 360 Pro 20GB
Games: Forza Motorsport 2 & another game of my choice including Saints Row, Dead rising, The Elder Scrolls IV, Tom Clancy‘s Rainbow six Vegas, and a few others.
Xbox Live: None until a couple of months later.
Other: 2nd Wireless Controller
Total Price: $415.00
Option 3
Console: Xbox 360 Pro 60GB
Games: Call of Duty 4
Xbox Live: 3 Month Gold Membership
Total Price: $465.00
Option 4
Console: Xbox 360 Elite 120GB
Games: Ultimate Alliance and Forza Motorsport 2
Xbox Live: None until a couple of months later.
Other: 2 Faceplates
Total Price: $430.00
I have considered the PlayStation 3 but I couldn’t find any deals for it like the Xbox 360. Also, I know much more people who own an Xbox 360 instead PS3 so I have more options of trading and borrowing with these people if I buy an Xbox 360.
There are a couple of things to consider when choosing between the various available xbox bundles:
*How often will you be playing (How much memory do you need?)
*Do you have an HDTV (with an HDMI port?)
Firstly, if you are a serious gamer, I would recommend sticking with options 3 or 4 only. I filled up a 20GB HD in about six months with just game saves. Granted, I play a lot, and rent games often, but it is easier to fill this memory than you think, especially since many games nowadays have downloadable expansion packs and content.
If you are planning on downloading lots of demos and videos off of xbox live, go ahead and invest in the elite. Also, if you have an HDMI port on your TV, the elite comes with an HDMI cord, which makes the graphics slightly crisper. I recently upgraded to the elite myself after filling the memory on my old one, and I’m very happy with the decision. (I think the black looks nice as well)
If you did buy the elite, you could always sell off Ultimate Alliance and Forza 2 to get some extra money. You would have more than enough to get a different game or additonal controller if you wanted to, and maybe pay for a couple moths of xbox live.
Personal recommendations:
Option 1: Not worth the money compared to the others.
Option 2: If you don’t plan on playing frequently.
Option 3: You will probably look back and wished you had gone with the elite.
Option 4: If you will play a lot and use downloadable content.
