You have only been married for 6 months and you are getting divorced?
What possibly happened in the 1st 6 months of marriage that you did not find out from dating her for 6 years?
Well.........Im getting divorced. Married 7/7/07 Dated for 6 yrs. Any help is appreciated.
You have only been married for 6 months and you are getting divorced?
What possibly happened in the 1st 6 months of marriage that you did not find out from dating her for 6 years?
Wow, I'm speechless. Terribly sorry to hear. You've been the envy of many a board member. Been there myself and I know how painful it is. Is this amicable or adversarial (i.e., for cause)? If you're leaving her, be careful not to give up the ship too quickly just to move on. There are so many complexities with these situations depending on who is leaving, what the reasons are, if there are kids involved, debts, property, etc. Hold your head up and keep the high ground, whatever else happens.
My sympathies, man. Best of luck to you no matter what happens.
Because of the short term of the marriage on the surface it sounds to be uncomplicated. Try to avoid lawyers (most cases they are the only real winners) look into divorce mediation. Good luck!
For those who care or have the time to read. This was my last straw. This was my last email to try and save it. She is 8yrs younger that me.

You are a great person and so few people would ever be willing to do what you are doing and willing to do. We all want happiness for you, in whatever form that comes. I wish you the best possible outcome from this. Thanks for sharing with me, I so wish this wasnt happening, but in some weird way this is one crazy character builder!! We'll chat soon. Laura

**Please read with ONLY good thoughts. We all know about the bad times and they are done and gone with. Nows the time to think positive. It may be hard, but please try.
I remeber the first night I met you. Your hair pulled back and braided. Joe and Jessica left us alone at the table. It was akwerd to say the least. You telling me about your art dreams. Playing with the football in Joe's car. And the drama at your apartment. I watched you walk to the apartment door only wishing there was something I could do to help you get through that night. But I was shy and just met you.
I remember Maria's wedding. I remember picking you up at your apartment. Yes, you may have been pale in color, but you were glowing the whole night. We had fun. There are pictures to proove that. Salty Grog's was crazy and so were we. But only half as crazy as we would be an hour after. Then helping you move a few things the next day. I was proud that I was able to and asked to help you.
I remember our first date like it was yesterday. Queesryche 2003. I may not have been completely infatuated with your look, but I asked you to go because there was something about you that stood out. I could have A) not gone. B) gone by myself. C) gone with a friend. but I chose D) with you. I had such a fun time that night. The flee market villiage, the concert, jumping over the fence, being with you at your apartment.
I remember being in NYC with Dave, Bogan and Canterino. December 2003. They were all talking to these two girls from New Jersey. I sipped my beer at the ESPN Zone and thought of you.
I remember us always together and going out all the time. What crazy money we spent on night life. I remember being jealous if you were taliking to a guy (but never showed it) as well as you would be if I did'nt introduce you to a girl. I remember going to your apartment night after night, sometimes sneaking out through your window because I was ashamed that I left so soon. I remember sneaking you into my parents back yard to show you the block wall I was building around the pool. I was so excited to show you it.
I remember our first 'real' date. It was after a cigar store dinner at Johnny's on Fat Tuesday. I was weraing my slacks and a leather coat. We went to bw3's and sat at a table and then on to Pal Joey's. What a night. I was so proud to be with you that night.
I remember when you met my dad. We were all hanging at my parents bar. He was late comming home from an Indians game. You wanted to leave, but stayed to meet him. I only wanted that to happen because I wanted him to meet such a nice girl that his son was talking to. **This is when I think I really fell in love with you.
I remember going to Jamie Maher's wedding. You were drop dead gorgeaous!!! I got intimidated in the lobby receiving line as someone talking to my mom said I was thin. The picture of us from this night will forever live in me.
I remember the first time you took me to meet your parents. Gary's graduation, May 2004. Your brother told me to call you Lumpy and everyone laughed. Your mom and dad were nice to finally meet. I remember sitting in the lawn chairs behind the barn while the guys played volleyball. And then afterward we went to Giant Eagle to buy supplies to make dinner for Dave and Brian Richey by the pool.
I remember us taking Brutus for his first walk in the park (2004). Mill Creek Park. It was hot. My parents were out of town. We brought bottled water for him. Took him to the fish pond where he scared a little black girl. The next day is when he jumped into the pool. I called and called you. You rushed over to calm him, and me.
I remember the Van Halen concert we went to. Tailgating with Carrie and Jim and Lou and Dave from NY. Good time. Although it turned a little bad. It was a good time.
I remeber our 1st and 2nd trip to NYC. Try and forget the bad parts of the trips for once. 1st trip we had lunch at O'Lunney's Irish Pub. We walked and walked and walked. We got you new shoes and went to Wal-Mart every day. We saw the WTC site. It was warm and Halloween time. We couldnt find the right side of the street during the massive parade. It was warm and you had a tank top on. We went to South Strret Seaport and looked at the Brooklyn Bridge. We went to Macy's and, yes, bought you a white button up. We saw the Naked Cowboy. 2nd trip (same year) all the same sight seeing and fun (minus the last night). Getting lost the next day in NJ. Listening to the George Bush results of the election on the way home.
I remember us looking to buy our house. Sled riding the day of going to look at it. Being so nervous the day of making an offer. Going to the classes for our financing. We actually went out for St. Patrick's Day the night before our first class. Meeting one on one with the counselor. And then getting approved. We couldnt wait. I called Christine the day before to ask where to pick up the keys and she screamed at me. Then watching from my parents driveway to see when she was finally out. We had all of your things in my truck. Super Day! We ended up peeling wallpaper all day!
KWS Band Concert at B&B. Boy was I jealous! (July 2005)
I remember Best Buy appliance buying. Went in with a budget and came out with all stainless steel Kitchen-Aid. My Goodness, what were we thinking! Ann is a good talker and knows her s**t!
3rd NYC trip. Top Of The Rock was great. Roosevelt Island was great. More trips to Wal-Mart for pillows, blackets, etc. Met some Crazy Jets fans before, during, and after the game.
Kitchen is done. Ahh.....finally move in year (2006). Sleeping in your double bed with Brutus. How in the Hell did we manage?
More home-reno's. Having Big Frank over to demolish our pool. Boy, yet another hard year of work.
Time to go back to NYC. This time with the Swanteks! Shea Stadium, Corona Park, Acme Bar and Grille, Swift. A Jets Win!
Going to look at tuxedos in February. Real bad snow storm. Eliza is born and somehow I find my way to the hospital. Jalescos afterwards.
Pictures in March with Lisa in Hermitage. So excited, warm day. Smokey Bones afterwards. Taking you to Mill Creek Park on the trails. It was snowing and we left your car on the side of the road. Thats we decided to get you some Whoop-Ass which was over-priced, ha! North Face shoes. Then finally putting those shoes to the test on a warm April Sunday in the park.
The Indy Car race in Cleveland. I remember us having no idea where to park, go, or get tickets. We ended up with some damn fine tickets. We had on flip-flops. Walking through the dirt roads. You got a sausage sandwich, me a gyro. You a Mikes Lemonade, me a few beers. It was hot that day. We were dirty. But who cared. It was so much fun. Dinner afterwards at Hard Rock. This was one of my favorite times with you! Home to see the Reese's at my parents pool.
Wedding Wedding Wedding planning. As much as it was fun, it was crazy. Where to have this, where to have that, who to invite? It never ended. Meetings with father Shori. Classes with the Eck's. Menu planning with the Maronite Center, Hauling all the booze, beer, and supplies the day before to the Maronite with dad, Uncle John Yak, and Ray Jahn. After all was said and done, it worked out. I was so exited. I may not have showed it the entire time, but I was. It was so overwhelming. I told your dad you looked beautiful. Him in his cowboy boots. Laughing during the sermon on the alter. Lisa was great, the band was great, the cake was great, the peolple were great, the wedding party was great, our parents were great. Waking up the next day just to run into your sister at Wal-Mart Salem. How crazy was that?
Lori, I'm not the smartest guy at times, but I truly do love you. I would'nt sit and type this whole thing if I did'nt care about us. I admitted to my faults and all I asked was for a chance to redeem myself to you and forgiveness. Nobody is perfect and I will not use that as an excuse. But I will ask for forgiveness and a chance. I am going to try and meet with Father Shori on Thursday or Friday to discuss this situation, I have to call back on Thursday. I had no one else to talk to. I dont want to drown my parents in this and frankly didnt care how Edith handled this. In my mind, Edith meant there was nothing else she could do fo our marriage before counseling you, and maybe even me, before going back to couples. If not, she has only heard the one side. We all had dinner at Carchetti's tonight on Marc. It was strange not being with you and everyone asking where you were. I think there are some people that want me to move on, but I am I. I dont care what other people think. If I want to stay in the fight, they should be happy for me, and you. We had our good times, and bad, not them. I didnt marry them. All I ask is you would consider giving it a little more time. I truly do love you. And I know how miserable you are. But I think God will finally judge this after we have exhausted all resources, in which we have yet to.
And yes....I do believe in God. I may question some things, maybe a lot of things about him at time, but I do, I do belive in the hire spirit, period.
I dont wish to bring up age issues with you, because I chose you and accepted the age difference and your age. But let me tell you. When I was in my early 20's-24,25 and dating Jen, it was tough. She was tough, it was always her way. I was the one who broke up with her every 3-4 weeks thinking that I could find someone better. I kicked my ass day in and day out when she finally was the one to break it off with me. Sure, I dated, you know that. But it wasnt until I found you, my wife until I finally got over her. My friends and I joked about her in front of you, not to get you mad, just because how crazy the ending was. She told me the other day how intimidated she was of you at Jillians a couple years ago. She said a friend told her that if eyes could kill, that she (Jen) would be dead. The girl was talking about your eyes. She (Jen) knew then that we were serious in love. She also said that she wished things would have been different, but for the same reason, she was glad that we both found someone, she's with a guy named Chris and somewhat happy, although she's lived with his sister for the past 6 weeks because of a fight. Sometimes relationships are hard and as hard as they may be, they are worth holfing onto. My uncle Dan used to get mad at Aunt Donna and kick her out of his car at red lights. They are probably the most happy couple I know today. Again sure, you can take it as you are 24 and will find better. But think about the time we have invested. think about how much love I have for you. Think about what we've done (only the good times). You may have lost some love for me, but I guarantee it can be resurected. I have been there and done that. I never stole money from you for drugs. I will tell you that love only comes around once and a while. I have taken nice looking girls on one-night date dinners, only to drop them off for having no personalities etc. You only know of the girls that were crazy or we would see out. You were different. Yu have a great personality and am great with people. I tried dating nice girls from friends referrals. It doesnt always work. Holly and Marc's marriage didnt get good until after 2 years and they dated for 5 before marriage. I know we are not them, but who knows what we are throwing away here. This might be the dumbest thing we do. You told me that you didnt answer the phone last week and that being that you didnt, it was over and done with and there was nothing you could do about it. I know it doesnt compare, but I cant change NY, Cle, or Pitts. I did it and I cant change it. I feel horrible about those situations, but they are done with. I have and will always feel that you are my soulmate. And that's why I willing to alter my lifestyle to save you. If it doesnt work, I'll know from here on out that someone didnt care for change, me included. I know you are you and only you can read this openly. I know that H. Jurina and others are mad at me, heck some of my friends and family are mad at me. But that doesnt mean anything. In my mind and Im sure in Father Shori's mind (Catholic or not), im sure we deserve a chance. Im also sure that Pastor Joe would say the same. I will wear my ring till the end, no matter how many people tell me to take it off. You are my wife, the one I and you chose to marry and God will do everything to keep us together ( a former nuns word whom I met tonight ) through thick and thin, through death do us part. God will not choose us to be arpart unitl all things exhausted. Did you give up on God? Because I know he would never give up on us unless infadelity or physacle abuse. Our problems are minor compared to others, and I realize we are not others, but you have to take into consideration. I may have only looked to religion recently, I admit, but I did, and religion aside, wheter Catholic or Non-Dem, religion is religion. Please see this and try with me. I'm not begging because Im the one admitting fault and willing to try. If you truly belive in God as you say, you would give this thig one last shot, as I am willing. Don't let others pursuade you-I love you, your husband as of now, -Pat
Just remember though, that you've just given up any hand you had and it will be hard as hell to get back. Your making promises that you aren't likely to be able to keep, so at some point, if this is going to be anything more then a roller coaster of drama, she'll have to accept some of the way you are..
Since you have a pic of her in your avatar, it seems you were trying to convince yourself all along...deep down, you knew this was not going to work out.
Sometimes chicks like the concept of playing house, but when they actually try it, its not for them. There are plenty of other women out there, go find one.
The email was too long, I didnt read it all, dont know your home/kids status, but make the break simple as can be, mediation might save $$ on lawyers. Look at it as a learning expierience. Better days are ahead.
Divorce is tough. Been through it twice myself. No kids involved either time. Best wishes to you and Lori either way, I hope you both end up happy whether you stay together or not.
i skimmed through your letter, and what i get from it is that you did something wrong and she isn't forgiving you for it, so what is it that you did? that would go a long way towards knowing if you have a real chance or not.
You will be fine in less than a year (if you are "truely" fininshed with your ex and the marraige) with no children involved
Good luck........................unfortunatly I've been there.
I feel for you. Myself and some of my friends have been divorced. Be strong and try not to let emotions get the best of you.
As far as going forward, I would probably take a different tact, but I think you'll get her back, for how long though I wonder. You're setting an expectation with her now of being on your best behavior all the time, which in the long run will only make the marriage more fragile imo..
My advice, if a girl wants you to change in order to stay together, Get out of dodge. Run fast, run hard and most importantly run now. Do it before you have children and are really stuck.
What triggered all this? You mention asking for forgiveness, but it's not clear what happened. If you want to, it might help to clarify so we can give a better response.
so what exactly is your question ?
Call up any investment firms or banks you have joint accounts in and inform them of the divorce. Ask them to put a freeze on the account(s) as well. Most investment firms (not sure about banks though) have divorce policies where they'll automatically freeze accounts upon notification of a divorce to protect both parties.

Cloud of Ash Spewing from Iceland's Grimsvotn Volcano – May 26th, 201164.4N 17.3W
This image shows a cloud of ash spewing from Iceland's Grimsvotn volcano, a vision reminiscent of the 2010 eruptions of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano (click here for previous articles). The Grimsvotn volcano is located under the Vatnajokull glacier in the Vatnajokull National Park – the biggest national park in Europe.
Although the eruption temporarily affected European air travel, with about 700 flights cancelled in Germany on Wednesday, air traffic is now operating normally. In Iceland, clean up of the ash has begun, and all major roads have been reopened.

WASHINGTON -- A 1% increase in the number of prescriptions filled causes Medicare spending to drop by roughly 0.2%, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated.
The CBO created the new formula after studying several published reports on the effect of increased drug use. "Previously, CBO did not include any offsetting effect on medical services in its estimates involving changes to prescription drug policies," wrote researchers at the agency, which is part of the legislative branch and provides economic analysis for Congress.
However, a growing body of published evidence shows a link between changes in prescription drug use and spending for medical services, the CBO said in the report, which was published late last week.
The new calculation may have a slight impact on negotiations now going on in Washington to avert the "fiscal cliff" -- the combination of tax increases and spending cuts due to become effective Jan. 1 if nothing is done. The CBO's mission is to calculate the potential savings generated by proposed legislation, including the bills now being discussed by Washington budget hawks.
The agency examined at least eight studies that examined prescription drug polices' impact on medical expenditures before and after Medicare Part D came online in 2006, as well as the impact of drug policies on patients outside of Medicare.
After CBO threw out the highest and lowest estimates, the remaining six studies showed a 1% increase in prescription drug use translated to a decrease in overall Medicare spending of anywhere from 0.1% to 0.4%.
CBO took the composite of change from the six studies to estimate its 0.2% savings for a 1% increase in prescription drug use.
As an example of the impact an increase in drug use might have, the CBO mentioned the closing of the Medicare Part D donut hole, which will mean that beneficiaries pay less out of pocket for brand-name drugs. CBO estimates prescription drug use will increase by about 5% by 2018 under the policy, which was included in the Affordable Care Act.
Under its new assumption, spending on Medicare services will drop by roughly 1%. That's a savings of $35 billion out of an estimated $5.6 trillion from 2013 to 2022.
With Part D spending set to increase by $86 billion from the increased use in the next decade, the net increase in federal spending would actually be $51 billion after the $35 billion in reduced Medicare services is taken into account.
"CBO will apply the offset only for policies that would change the quantity of prescriptions filled," the report noted. "It will not apply the offset to policies that would not affect the demand for and, therefore, the consumption of prescription drugs."
Further research is needed to determine if an offset also would be applicable to other groups of patients in federal healthcare programs, including Medicaid beneficiaries and veterans, the CBO said.
Also, "at present, there is insufficient evidence of a robust relationship between the number of prescriptions filled and mortality for CBO to incorporate such an effect into its estimates," it wrote.

(Reuters) – The Rolling Stones turned back the clock in style on Sunday with their first concert in five years, strutting and swaggering their way through hit after familiar hit to celebrate 50 years in business.
Before a packed crowd of 20,000 at London's O2 Arena, they banished doubts that age may have slowed down one of the world's greatest rock and roll bands, as lead singer Mick Jagger launched into "I Wanna Be Your Man".
More than two hours of high-octane, blues-infused rock later, and they were still going strong with an impressive encore comprising "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash".
In between there were guest appearances from American R&B singer-songwriter Mary J. Blige, who delivered a rousing duet with Jagger on "Gimme Shelter" and guitarist Jeff Beck who provided the power chords for "I'm Going Down".
Former Rolling Stones Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor were also back in the fold, performing with the regular quartet of Jagger, Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards on guitar and Charlie Watts on drums for the first time in 20 years.
"It took us 50 years to get from Dartford to Greenwich!" said Jagger, referring to their roots just a few miles from the venue in southeast London. "But you know, we made it. What's even more amazing is that you're still coming to see us…we can't thank you enough."
The Sunday night gig was the first of two at the O2 Arena before the band crosses the Atlantic to play three dates in the United States.
The mini-tour is the culmination of a busy few months of events, rehearsals and recordings to mark 50 years since the rockers first took to the stage at the Marquee Club on London's Oxford Street in July, 1962.
There has been a photo album, two new songs, a music video, a documentary film, a blitz of media appearances and a handful of warm-up gigs in Paris.
The reunion nearly did not happen. One factor behind the long break since their record-breaking "A Bigger Bang" tour in 2007 has been Wood's struggle with alcohol addiction, while Jagger and Richards also fell out over comments the guitarist made about the singer in a 2010 autobiography.
But they eventually buried the hatchet, and Richards joked in a recent interview: "We can't get divorced – we're doing it for the kids!"
Critics were fulsome in their praise of the first comeback gig.
"Keith Richards has said that the beauty of rock and roll is that every night a different band might be the world's greatest. Well, last night at the O2 Arena, it was the turn of the Rolling Stones themselves to lay claim to the title they invented," wrote Neil McCormick of the Daily Telegraph.
"And they did it with some style and panache."
The big question on every fan's lips is whether the five concerts lead to a world tour and even new material. The Stones sang their two new tracks "Doom and Gloom" and "One More Shot", which appeared on their latest greatest hits album "GRRR!".
Richards has hinted that the five concerts ending at the Newark Prudential Center in the United States on December 15 would not be the last.
"Once the juggernaut starts rolling, it ain't gonna stop," he told Rolling Stone magazine. "So without sort of saying definitely yes – yeah. We ain't doing all this for four gigs!"
The band has come in for criticism from fans about the high price of tickets to the shows – they ranged from around 95 pounds ($150) to up to 950 pounds for a VIP seat.
The flamboyant veterans, whose average age is 68, have defended the costs, saying the shows were expensive to put on, although specialist music publication Billboard reported the band would earn $25 million from the four shows initially announced. A fifth was added later.
"Everybody all right there in the cheap seats," Jagger asked pointedly as he looked high to his left at the arena. "They're not really cheap though are they? That's the trouble."
Among the biggest cheers on the night were for classics including "Wild Horses", "It's Only Rock and Roll" and "Start Me Up".
There was even time for the odd reference to their advancing years.
"Good to see you all," said Richards with a mischievous grin. "Good to see anybody."

Extra municipal commission for accessibility for people with disabilities
The extra municipal Commission for accessibility for people with disabilities is composed of 15 associations.
Its missions include :
- carrying out a periodic analysis on accessibility in buildings, thoroughfares, public spaces and transport ;
- formulating proposals related to accessibility requirements ;
- establishing an annual report for presentation to the Municipal Council and transmission to institutions, as well as to the managers of buildings, facilities and work places concerned by the report.
Its primary areas of involvement
- The individual in the city as regards accessibility within the urban area and public buildings ;

The Information bureau for senior citizens
The Capitole information bureau for senior citizens centralises all information needed by senior citizens for living in Toulouse (8,000 addresses and 500 listed associations). This information centre has become even more accessible since one of the senior councillors involved was specially trained to inform hearing- impaired people. Apart from his own personal interest in sign language, which "demands enormous attention because everything is based on gesture, facial and bodily expression", this training will provide a proper service for hearing-impaired people and will open the way to administrative procedures.

A former UFC, WEC and Strikeforce champion – not to mention a former interim King of Pancrase – MMA legend Frank Shamrock admits he hasn't had to worry too much about being bullied throughout his life.
That said, it's becoming very clear to him that he's in the minority.
"I didn't know there was this bullying going on because nobody has ever really bullied me," Shamrock told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "It turns out everybody is getting bullied."
Shamrock officially announced his retirement from fighting earlier this year, but the 15-year veteran of the sport remains on with Strikeforce as a commentator and spokesperson for the promotion.
With his days of competition behind him, Shamrock said he believes it's now his responsibility to give back to the sport and community that have given so much to him.
"Martial arts saved my life and made me who I am," Shamrock said. "For me not to do spread that message would be wrong. That's my job.
"I'm doing charity and trying to help the community and trying to help our kids. I'm worried about our kids now."
Shamrock's first steps toward giving back included his involvement in this past month's first-ever Strikeforce Charity Golf Tournament, as well as assisting with a planned series of women's self-defense seminars across the nation.
"In Strikeforce we're walking the martial path," Shamrock said. "We know what our job is: produce the best martial arts shows on the planet with the greatest fighters we can get. That's our job. Past that, we have a responsibility as artists, as beings, and as business owners to be good people.
"We're going to keep doing what we're doing. We just launched a charity golf tournament. That was fantastic. We raised $30,000 for Turning Wheels For Kids. We're giving back to charity. We're launching our women's self-defense circuit. Every town we go into, we're going to do our self-defense program."
Shamrock points to some of the theatrics often seen in MMA – both at the fighter and executive level, and of which he'll admit he's played a part – as a real point of concern.
"We're a mainstream sport now with millions of people looking at us, and we've got 12-year-old kids standing soldiered-up waiting to know what to do and how to act and how to be in this society," Shamrock said. "Kids are getting bullied at school. They're getting bullied at work.
"Mixed martial arts is the fastest-growing sport in the world. Ironically or not, the biggest epidemic or problem in America is bullying."
Most concerning to Shamrock is the new face bullying has taken on in recent years. While self-defense was something taught to him at an early age by adoptive father Bob Shamrock, Frank knows now that physical confrontations aren't the only attacks concerning America's youth.
"I have a 2-and-a-half year old girl, and I know how to solve bullying with martial arts, but how do you solve cyberbullying?" Shamrock asked. "When you don't even have to be responsible for pushing somebody around anymore, I have a problem with that.
"Before, I was just teaching kids how to fight. Now I realize they need to know how to fight on the Internet. They need to know how to have enough confidence and fighting spirit in themselves to know that words and all these things don't hurt them. I didn't know we needed that. I do now, so that's my new job."
For his part, Shamrock has established an online community designed to put a stop to the growing epidemic, which is making headlines across the nation.
"I started a little community called Stand Together," Shamrock said. "We're online at StandTogether.us. It's a social community. Right now, the online community allows bullies to be faceless and do whatever they want to do without repercussion. We're starting a community where you can go and say, 'Hey, I'm being bullied. Can somebody help me?' Frank Shamrock or somebody else will show up.
"We've got to fix this thing. We've got to take away the shame of being bullied. We've got to let people know you can't abuse somebody mentally or physically or psychologically or sexually. You can't text somebody something terrible. There's no responsibility in that. There's no humanity in that."
Shamrock knows he's facing an uphill battle, but he believes he's fighting the good fight. With his in-cage days now officially over, Shamrock hopes he can rally communities nationwide through the growing popularity of MMA to keep bullying out of our schools.
"The leaders of the anti-bullying community were husbands and wives who had a daughter or somebody that was just being bullied – and maybe who had someone that killed themselves – and they just went, 'Wait a minute. I've got to do something,'" Shamrock said. "We're martial artists, and we believe in the martial way and the martial path. That doesn't involve threatening people.
"MMA saved my life. My experience is a positive one, and I'm sharing my journey as I go down my martial path."

Glitter Fun... and pinterest crafts!
7 comments:
Wow! I love all the stuff you've been doing. How do you get first graders to do such a great job with the snowflakes?ReplyDelete
Grade ONEderful
HOW CUTE!!! I love the way the bulletin board turned out!! And the Christmas light names are a-freakin-dorable!!ReplyDelete
Do you have a pattern for the christmas lights with names? It is so cute.ReplyDelete
Barbara - The snowflakes are di-cuts of different colors. They just put the glue on and sprinkle the glitter. :)ReplyDelete
Elizabeth - The christmas lights are also di-cuts. I had a parent volunteer punch them out for me. Sorry :( Do you have a dicut machine at your school? I was shocked at all the cool patterns we had. I've been using it alot more.
How do you make the wreaths? You said they did most of it themselves and that makes me WAY interested! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Here is the link to this craft project. I just drew the "no cut" line for my first graders. They cut away, made their berries, bows and wrote their name on their banner cutout. I of course stapled them together, but they were just so adorable!ReplyDelete
I need to stay away from Pinterest and teacher blogs. The cute ideas always seem to get my credit card in trouble at Barnes and Noble. I just had to order the book, Snow Globe Family, so we can do the writing activity after our winter break. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

Housing IPO draws strong demandOctober 11, 2012: 11:54 AM ET
Investors are making a bold gamble that the housing rebound will be steep and swift with the initial public offering of Realogy.
Realogy, which owns Century 21, Coldwell Banker, Corcoran and Sotheby's International Realty, raised more than $1 billion through its initial public offering that priced Wednesday night at $27 a share -- the high end of its estimated range. It's the third-largest IPO of the year behind Facebook (FB) and Banco Santander's Mexican subsidiary (BSMX).
Shares of Realogy (RLGY) began trading on the New York Stock Exchange Thursday morning, and quickly surged 29% above its IPO price.
Realogy is the only publicly traded real estate franchise. Its main competitors, such as Re/Max and Keller Williams, are private and much smaller.
"Investors want exposure to the housing market," said Francis Gaskins, founder of boutique research firm IPO Desktop, "If you want to play the real estate broker market, it's the only game in town. The question is whether it's a good game." Gaskins is telling his clients to steer clear.>
Realogy, which has a market value of $3.3 billion, is saddled with roughly $4.5 billion in debt from its private equity backer, Apollo Global Management (APO), and said it will use its IPO proceeds to pay that down.
So far, the housing market rebound hasn't translated into profits for the the brokerage firm. Realogy's revenue increased 9% during the first half of 2012, but the real estate firm still lost $51 million during that time frame, after paying fees to Apollo.
Realogy's IPO is also a crucial test for Apollo. The private equity firm has attempted to take five companies public this year, and investors haven't fared well in any of them. The PE firm pulled CKE Restaurants, which owns Carl's Jr., in early August. But the other three companies, Caesar's Entertainment Group (CZR), Rexnord (RXN), and Berry Plastics (BERY) are down 32%, 3% and 12% respectively from where their IPO's priced.
Related: Private equity's golden hangover
Overall, IPOs have generated returns of roughly 10% this year, trailing the S&P 500's (SPX) 16% increase, according to IPO research firm Renaissance Capital.
Realogy's debut comes during a busy week for IPOs. 10 companies were expected to price this week, but one, Garrison Capital, pulled its offering.
Also Thursday, Shutterstock (SSTK), which sells stock photos, also debuted and started trading 32% above its IPO price of $17.

Interroll offers dedicated core technologies for all conveyor technology-driven supermarket applications: from the drum motors and conveyor rollers including all needed accessories such as mounting brackets and passive rollers up to pre-assembled and ready to install conveyor cassettes.
Six out of ten
Video case study
Dedicated solutions – Designed to the needs
You can find our products in global Supermarkets' checkout and cashier systems like: Walmart (USA), Metro (Germany), Edeka (Germany), Carrefour (France), COOP (Many countries), Lidl (Germany), Aldi (Germany), Tesco (UK).
Interroll drives and rollers are perfectly tailored to the specific requirements of checkout systems and RBRVMs. Engineers especially prefer the fast and easy design-in and installation of Interroll products, which make construction and mounting a simple task.
Another, maybe even more irresistible argument for Interroll solutions is the space saving argument: The Interroll Drum Motors feature a compact, hermetically sealed all-in-one system design. Compared to conventional drives, there is no additional space required to implement the motor, gearbox and drive train. The sealed design is also the basis for the maintenance-free and cost effective operation of Interroll Drum Motors, minimizing downtimes and maintenance efforts.
And that the high energy efficiency reduces power consumption, energy costs and therefore the TCO of solutions based on Interroll products is just another winning argument.
Interroll Cassettes
Interroll Cassettes are much quicker and easier to install than conventional conveyors installed at the checkout counter or other machines, because one component is already tested and "run-in". Fewer parts mean lower costs for conveyor design and purchasing of parts.Learn more
Interroll Drum Motors
The motor, gearbox and bearings are totally enclosed and sealed inside a steel shell, therefore they are unlikely to fail due to harmful environmental conditions such as dust, fluid etc. Because all components are located in the steel shell, drum motors take up much less space than conventional drives.Learn more
International checkout and cashier systems partners
- ITAB Group (Sweden, Holland, Germany, UK, Finland)
- HMY Group (France, Spain, Turkey)
- Rasec Group (France, Ukraine, Russia)
- Cefla (Italy), Modern Expo (Ukraine)

CM Storm is Coolermaster's new gaming-focused off-shoot bringing us new peripherals such as this, the Sentinel Advance gaming mouse. Aimed squarely at the gamer or, more precisely, at the sort of person that will justify spending £50+ on a mouse or keyboard.
But how does it stand up against the wealth of experienced gaming gear that's on the market already? Very, very well indeed actually.
Normally, I'd be expecting to trot out the familiar 'not bad for a fi rst effort' sorta thing, but the Sentinel Advance has hit the ground running. It's also great that I can legitimately sit in the office playing MW2 after I've finished reviewing it to test this li'l rodent.
The most noticeable thing about this mouse, multi-coloured LEDs aside, is the smoothness of the travel it produces. My usual review mouse is the Sidewinder X8, a great mouse in its own right, but put up against the Sentinel Advance in MW2 and the smoother travel made sighting and tracking the enemy far easier.
The on-the-fly DPI changer make it simple to adjust sensitivity settings and coupled with the, now ubiquitous, ability to store your preferences and switch those with a button-click make it a feature rich rodent.
In fact, my only real issue with this mouse is the positioning of the forward/backward buttons; in gaming terms, I'd much rather have those two on the horizontal like the Sidewinder mice, but that is indeed a minor niggle.
That aside the Sentinel is an impressive fi rst gaming mouse from the CM Storm label. I'd still go for the G9, but at £40 the Sentinel isn't pricing itself out of the market.

After 'Dabangg', Sonakshi more excited for 'Dabangg 2'Nov 26, 2012 IANS
Mumbai, Nov 26 (IANS) She made her Bollywood debut with the blockbuster "Dabangg" in 2010, and now actress Sonakshi Sinha, who is also a part of "Dabangg 2", says she is upbeat about being a part of the franchise.
"I am very excited. When a film gets a good response, it feels good. I started with 'Dabangg' and now doing 'Dabangg 2' is very exciting for me," the 25-year-old said on the sidelines of an event here Sunday.
Sonakshi was joined at the event by director Milan Luthria, who is working with her in the sequel to "Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai".
In the movie, Sonakshi features opposite Akshay Kumar, who plays don Shoaib Khan. But she refuses to call her own part negative.
"It's negative? No. It's a very interesting character. For me, as an actor it is a very challenging role and the film is set in a very interesting premise. It is a great role, that's all I can say now," Sonakshi said.
The film also features Imran Khan and Sonali Bendre. It is to release around Eid next year

DIY: Honey & Lemon Face Mask
Actress Kelly Kruger goes on the hunt for the face mask of all face masks: one that will lighten, tighten and brighten – and leaves the beauty counter empty handed. Yet, from her refrigerator, she concocts the perfect facial remedy. Feast your eyes – and your face – on this: a natural, homemade face mask that will soothe, smooth, heal and even out skin tone for under $7 dollars! And the genius of DIY beauty products is that they can be made with contents that you likely have in your kitchen.
Explains Kelly: "When I think of lemon and honey together, the first thing that comes to mind is a soothing tea for a sore throat. I never would have thought that these 2 ingredients would be the answer to all of my beauty prayers. I have really sensitive, acne-prone skin and I have spent thousands of dollars trying to find the right creams and serums to help with my problem. Until a really sweet lady at a Neiman Marcus counter (where I was yet again going to spend more money on stuff that probably wouldn't work) gave me this amazing advice:
Honey is a natural antibacterial and anti-infammatory. It absorbs impurities from the pores and the skin. Ancient beauties used honey and milk on their skin regularly to keep their complexion looking young, radiant and smooth. You can use honey as a wash, toner or mask. And you can mix it with so many other ingredients depending on your needs (apples, pumpkin, papaya. yogurt). It's quite versatile.
Lemon brightens and exfoliates. It's great for acne prone skin, age and sun spots or uneven skin tone. It is also a natural source of vitamin C and rich in alpha hydroxy acids.
Here's how to make the DIY Honey/ Lemon Mask:
Squeeze 1/2 a lemon (organic is always better) into a bowl, add 2 tbsp of honey (0rganic, raw, natural ). Mix it with a spoon until it's a liquid consistency. Apply it all over a clean face avoiding eye area. *Also make sure that your hair is pulled back away from your face as the mask is rather sticky! Leave on for 15-20 min and rinse off. If you're feeling really adventurous, try and sleep with it on."
Let us know if you try it and how it works!

Should Bank of America let Countrywide go under? I've been reading more and more about how Bank of America is considering letting Countrywide go bankrupt in order to stay afloat. Just a mere two years ago, BAC CEO Ken Lewis sat before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, bragging about the acquisition:
Since our acquisition of Countrywide, now renamed Bank of America Home Loans, we have established new management, developed a new risk culture, and created a new suite of products that are simpler and more transparent to customers.
So, how does "Bank of America Home Loans" go from a necessary and integral business unit to the sacrificial lamb? According to Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Countrywide's bankruptcy could cut down on Bank of America's legal proceedings. But, letting Countrywide slide into bankruptcy – the so-called nuclear option – doesn't mean a homerun for Bank of America.
The fallout could be severe – who would want to trust the bank again, let alone do new business with them? Or, trust them enough to enter into another acquisition. Especially with Bank of America saying they ensured Countrywide's separate identity was preserved through the acquisition.
Not to mention the legality of the bankruptcy. It's not at all clear that pulling the plug on Countrywide takes all their liabilities off of BAC's balance sheet. Legal opinions differ on this, but one thing is for sure: this won't be quick and it won't be clean. Do you want to invest in a bank that has this uncertainty hanging over its head? Not to mention what this all says for Ken Lewis' genius strategy in the first place.
Regardless of Countrywide denouement, is anyone else wondering what happened to all those subprime mortgage securities and other "toxic assets" that plagued Bank of America a couple of years ago? Is there a new law of business physics that allows that stuff to disappear? So they dumped some of it on Fannie Mae (now suing BAC as a thank you), but my banking friends who understand the economics of this better than I tell me that FASB allows companies like BAC to use something called "Mark-to-Model" valuation. Not mark-to-market, but setting a valuation on the books based on internal models. If it's anything like a model airplane, it may look real, but once you try to fly it – it's just going to crash.
For more thoughts on Ken Lewis and Bank of America, read my op-ed for the Washington Post and a recent interview at the Tuck School of Business.

Bank of America's Countrywide: The Gift That Keeps on Giving

text: As stated before, one of the primary limitations and most of the regulations are associated with the blood cleanup in Pennsylvania. Blood is the life vessel to many kinds of bacteria, pathogens, antigens, and diseases. In the circumstance of a close friend dying, many individuals might not fully take into accounts there may be many health problems that nobody was aware of, and possibly even the deceased had not been conscious of. The blood cleanup Pennsylvania teams that come into the death cleanup scene needs to be vigilant in their caution of these diseases and pathogens which include HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis (A,B, and C), furthermore many superbugs exists such as MRSA and C-Diff. Due to all of these conditions and the plethora of other possible conditions, you can understand the true reason for properly trained biohazard response teams available to do blood cleanup Pennsylvania. In addition to personal safety factors many health systems will also require that skilled blood cleanup Pennsylvania cleaners will be qualified like that of the requirements set forth by O.S.H.A. for federal government guidelines of worker safety.

In Objective-C, there are several methods like
initWithContentsOfFile:encoding:error: where one passes in a reference to an
NSError object for the
error: parameter. In this example, the value of the
NSError object passed in can change based on what goes on at runtime when the method is being called and whether the body of the method was executed in a certain way successfully. In a way I think of this
NSError object as sort of like a second return value from the method, and only differs from an object
anObject in the statement
return anObject; in that when this statement is called, execution leaves the method.
So my question is, not only in the context of error handling in Objective-C, but in general, when should one use an "out" parameter in place of returning said value in a return statement?

In The Afterglow…
By Angie Patrick
Two weeks after the first ever American Massage Conference, and I am still trying to wrap my mind around what happened last week!
In Atlanta, Georgia, there was a shift…A shift in thinking, a shift in doing, a shift in energy, and a shift in being. The weekend was filled with amazing education with classrooms at standing room only capacity, and educators that are rock stars in their field.
The energy of the event was high, and filled with unity and camaraderie unlike anything I had been part of before. The sense of community was palpable in the air, and people took time to share of themselves with one another.
I think this is in part because of the strength of social media, and the need for people to interact not only online, but in person. The Friday Facebook Pirate Party, hosted by our Beloved Cap'n Phil Mattison, and sponsored by Core Products and Tom Heidenberger of Bon Vital was the talk of the show! People who are "friends" on Facebook had a great opportunity to network and meet face to face many the people they know and follow in the industry. There were prizes, contests, give aways, and more, and it was one of the many shining highlights of the show. For me, this event brought into clear perspective the need we all have to be among peers, despite differences in opinion, belief, philosophy, economic standing, or any other thing that can divide us. At this party, we were all "friends", whether we had ever met in person before or not.
This speaks to the human desire to be a part of something; something bigger than just themselves. It is to be part of ONE in which we all belong. We are ONE community, working to make the world a closer, more united body. We are here to preserve that which is precious. This includes many things, but focuses on our planet, our community, our industry, interpersonal relationships and our humanity.
All of the event sponsors, educators, vendors, attendees and volunteers have my unending thanks for rolling the dice on a new concept in conferencing. The ONE Concept Conferencing methodology, being an untried model, could have had some interesting reception in the community. To be the "FIRST" to do anything is both brave and foolish… but in order to accomplish a thing, someone has to go first. THANK YOU for seeing the value in the concept and for being supporters of our first volley. It is because of YOU that YOUR conference was a success with the following being our final breakdown of attendance.
The numbers are IN…..1615
838 Paid registrants
149 Volunteers
266 student registrations
212 Vendors/Presenters/Staff
150 (app) unregistered walk ins
So with these results I think it is important to let you know we also hit the demographic we hoped to reach. Through the amazing marketing efforts of MPA Media, the ABMP, Massage Warehouse, our Educators and the AMC, we were able to draw significant numbers of people who had never experienced a trade show before, and who were new to our massage community. This gave them an opportunity to see what the market and community can offer them, and it gave vendors an opportunity to reach brand new potential clients. This is a wheel that continually turns, and bringing the newest members of our massage community to the AMC was one of our goals.
Plans are already in the works for our SAN DIEGO event, April 20-22, 2012 at the Town and Country Resort. You can expect more incredible networking opportunities, more stellar education, more fun, more fellowship, and more surprises!
Thank you for making this event so memorable, and we are ready for round two!!!

On a bitterly cold London evening, schoolteacher Kyra Hollis (Laura Rook) receives an unexpected visit from her former lover, Tom Sergeant (Philip Earl Johnson), a successful and charismatic restaurant owner whose wife has just passed away. As the night wears on, the two attempt to rekindle their once passionate relationship only to find themselves locked in a dangerous battle of opposing ideologies and mutual desires. Director William Brown makes his Court Theatre debut with this intimate, contemporary drama."I'm thrilled to be making my Court Theatre directorial debut with Skylight," said Director William Brown. "It's a powerful, intimate drama. Every scene in the play is a two-person scene which makes it my favorite type of play to direct. Plus, the play is in such good hands with the actors-Phil and Laura, the two leads, have undeniable chemistry, and with Matt Farabee, it's an extraordinary cast."The cast of Skylight includes Laura Rook as Kyra Hollis, Philip Earl Johnson as Tom Sergeant and Matt Farabee as Edward Sergeant.The creative team includes Todd Rosenthal (scenic design), Rachel Healy (costume design), Jesse Klug (lighting design), Andy Hansen (sound design), John DiResta (assistant director).

New York Best City for New College Grads
New York #1, D.C. #2, Philadelphia Ranked Third
April 10, 2013 -- New York City ranks No. 1 among the best cities for new college graduates, according to a list released this week by website Apartment Guide. Washington, D.C, comes in second; Philadelphia placed third.
The ranking, done for Apartment Guide by real estate data analysts OnBoard Informatics, takes into account such lifestyle amenities as bars, restaurants, nightlife and entertainment. It does not take into account the price of rent or job availability.
Other top-10 cities, starting with the fourth most desirable, are: Seattle, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Chicago, Las Vegas and Portland, Ore. Denver came in last.
Apartment Guide separately surveyed 1,000 respondents aged 18 and older to find out what they value highest when deciding where to live.
"Apartment Guide wanted to know what post-grads were looking for, in their first big move," an Apartment Guide spokesman said. More than 70 percent, according to the survey, said that once they graduate they are planning to move to a different city.
Nearly 80 percent said they would move wherever they could find a job, rather than to the city they would most like to live. More said they were ready to move to a quiet suburb (42 percent) than to a big city (31 percent), to the beach (17 percent) or to the mountains (9 percent).
Most said their choice of an apartment would be dictated by price (61 percent), rather than by location (25 percent), amenities (6 percent) or nearness to family or friends (4 percent). Only 7 percent are looking for a studio; the vast majority (71 percent) are want a one- or two-bedroom. 23 percent want three or more bedrooms.
What types of jobs are they seeking? Only 5 percent say they want a job in finance -- only slightly more than say they want a job in fashion (4 percent). Sixteen percent say they want a job in business and 7 percent say they want a "creative" job.
What new grads want, of course, and what they'll get may be two different things:
A 2011 survey of 503 recent graduates by career services company Adecco found that only 45 percent were living on their own. A third said they were living at home with their parents, and 17 percent said they still were financially dependent on their parents.
