American Nuclear Society gives $5,000 to Alvin Weinberg memorial
The Oak Ridge/Knoxville chapter of the American Nuclear Society has donated $5,000 to the Alvin Weinberg Memorial Fund. According to information distributed by ANS, the gift will be used in efforts to memorialize Weinberg -- a nuclear pioneer, science ambassador and long-time director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Those efforts will include a planned documentary on Weinberg's career, a lecture series, commemorative plaques and the renaming of the city of Oak Ridge tennis courts, where the scientist often played (and with a ferocity that's still talked about). Weinberg died in 2006 at age 91.
According to the nuclear society, eight regional organizations, along with friends and family members, have contributed toward the Weinberg memorials. Those include ORNL, Oak Ridge Associated Universities, Friends of ORNL, the Tennessee Valley Authority and the three Oak Ridge Rotary Clubs.
Information on the Weinberg Memorial Fund and activities is available here.

Frank, thanks for posting this information, because Alvin Weinberg is someone worthy of memorializing. Though not too recent a transplant to E TN (2004), I only learned about Mr. Weinberg in the past year, via a book from the Science and Energy Museum in Oak Ridge. What a fascinating look into The First Nuclear Era (title of his book). What we are seeing with the upsurge of interest in nuclear power proves Weinberg was prophetic in 'seeing' a second nuclear era.

I'm looking for a lanyard for my Etrex Legend, so I can wear it around my neck. Any suggestions? The only one's I've found were too thick to fit through the tiny slot that the Etrex has.

could always run heavy nylon thread through the unit lanyard hook and then clip the larger lanyard to the heavy nylon thread...
I am amazed by how many people harp on the need to speak and write English in this country while exhibiting a fundamental lack of skills in the areas of spelling and sentence composition. Would this be irony, hypocrisy, or both?

Check with any computer people that you know. Flash drives usually come with a lanyard. I have been using one on my etrex for a year now and its holding up real good.

It will be really embarassing if I check the box and the lanyard is in there! It'd save me money though, I'll have to check tonight. Thanks!
If not, I'll go with the nylon thread idea, or something similar to that. I have some 250# dacron kite sting that would be perfect for that.

You may also find a computer plug-in thingy. I gotsed one o'those, too.
The plug-in thingy I did find. I've got it plugged into the PC right now. What I probably did is toss the lanyard back into the box because I have never used them before and didnt' figure I would with this. Twice now, though, I've set it down at a cache and *almost* forgot to pick it back up when I left.
EDIT: I downloaded the owner's manual and see the reference to the lanyard, but it looks like wrist lanyard rather than a neck lanyard. is this the case?

Beats me. I don't know the difference between the two... Length?
My manual was with mine... But (I'm as guilty as you as to not looking thoroughly at things!) did yours come with any CDs or somepin' like that?
Sounds like a neck lanyard to me!
No CDs come with it. You can use some of the free/share ware out there, or plop down $100 (+/-) for a Garmin Mapsource product (only garmin software will actually load up in the GPS). I use EasyGPS on the PC for downloading coordinates from geocaching.com and then uploading those to my GPS. This is a very simple, very straightforward program.
I soon realized, though, that the utility of this GPS would be greatly increased by getting Mapsource Metroguide North America, which I found at REI.com for $85 after using a 15% coupon I found. I love this program! The maps have been very detailed and the address search kicks butt. As you enter in the info, it starts coming up with the possibilities based on, I think, your current location.
Usually all I have to enter is the house number, the just 3 to 5 letters of the street name and it's already figured out where I want to go and shows the possible matches at the bottom...SLICK! For example, I had to go to the UPS distribution center in Eagen, which is on something like Opperman Drive. I entered in just "522 Opp" and at the bottom it showed the full address to where I was going.
Next I need to get the Topo software.

Try running a small keyring through the lanyard hook on the back, and then you can use just about anything. I would recommend using an identification badge lanyard - one that has a quick release type closure so you don't hang yourself - these can be found in the wierdest places. Look in the luggage department of most stores, they'll have an ID or passport holder with some kind of lanyard. Just remember safety, you WILL hook any kind of lanyard on trees and things in the woods.

I opened the box and there it is! It's pretty short for me though, with a size 18.5 neck. I'll try it but will probably end up trying to attach a small keyring as TimbreWlf suggests, then getting a longer lanyard. At least I have something to use for now.

I love the Scientific American. It is absolutely my favorite magazine. And I owe it a lot for what I have learned over the years. But I do not like the idea of infallibility, and Scientific American does make errors, some of which I have pointed out in the past. This time, though, the error is more glaring, and it is made by none other than the skeptic I admire the most, Michael Shermer. The title of Shermer's piece is "the liberals' war on science".
The gist of the claim is that the political left is no better than political right, or, if anything, it is worse, when it comes to handling matters of science. Shermer starts by laying out the bad things on the right: denial of climate change and evolution. He then points out that creationism and climate science denial exist among Democrats as well. Here are the first two errors. First, The problem is not comparable among the Democrats to the Republicans by its scope: yes, it is pretty bad among the democrats, but it is not as dominant, as is the case for the Republicans. Unlike Republicans, Democrats at least pay lip service to climate change. Second, as everyone knows, "liberal" and "Democrat" are not synonymous. Creationism and climate change exist among Democrats but tend to be more dominant among the more conservative ones.
Shermer then goes on to talk about denial of evolutionary psychology among the liberals. It is true, and it is unfortunate. Yet again, I don't see popular liberal characters in the media attacking evolutionary psychology, or calling the teaching of evolutionary psychology "fascism", like conservatives such as Bill O'Reilly do for evolution as a whole.
Shermer then proceeds to tear up liberals, for more alleged misdeeds.
On energy issues… progressive liberals tend to be antinuclear because of the waste-disposal problem, anti–fossil fuels because of global warming, antihydroelectric because dams disrupt river ecosystems, and anti–wind power because of avian fatalities.
I don't believe this is true. Concerning nuclear power, it does have very serious public safety problems, not necessarily limited to waste disposal (have we forgottenFukushima already?). As for global warming, well, let's just say action is long overdue. And as it pertains to renewables, despite whatever isolated incidents you can find of someone objecting to hydroelectric or wind power, liberals are often accused of having done too much when it comes to renewables, not too little.

Betting Home >
Betting Articles > Arbitrage Betting
A Pinnacle Sports account is essential for any would-be Arber due to its reputation for providing the best odds with low margins and high betting limits.
Arb situations commonly occur because bookmakers differ in opinion on a particular market. This increasingly happens with more obscure events, where the variation in margins offered across a range of bookmakers is greater. (Find out more about margins)
Pinnacle Sports are widely regarded to offer the best odds online; for example, we offer margins as low as 1.5% for soccer and baseball and apply a low margin policy to all markets posted.
Therefore any serious Arber will have a Pinnacle Sports account, and any of the widely available arbitrage software/engines often highlight Pinnacle Sports on one side of an arbitrage.
To explain Arbitrage betting we will use a simple example. Take the odds on a tennis match between Player A and Player B offered by two hypothetical bookmakers as illustrated in the table below.
The market percentage is indicated for each bookmaker i.e. the edge in their favour. By cross-matching the odds from Outcome 1 at Bookmaker A with Outcome 2 at Bookmaker B, the market percentage turns in the bettors' favour providing a guaranteed return of 4.1% (100-95.9=4.1).
This principal can apply to any betting market, beyond just two selections, including spread betting, while it has wide application in live betting where Arbitrage opportunities are constantly available by Backing and Laying in a constantly shifting market. You can also arb free bonuses to lock in a guaranteed profit, but the conditions that apply are restrictive.
As with any type of betting there are pitfalls, and arbitrage betting is no different.
Limits vary at different bookmakers, which may hinder your ability to properly exploit an arb, so it is important to know that Pinnacle Sports offer the highest limits online.
Some bookmakers also close accounts of consistently winning players. This does not happen at Pinnacle Sports; we welcome winners as they help us tighten our odds.
Bookmakers can cancel bets where mistakes have been made, which would leave you exposed on the other side(s). This can easily wipe out your profits accrued over a long period.
To fully exploit arbs, the player must have a huge number of funded bookmaker accounts, as well as the time to take full advantage. This involves significant organisation and effort. Many practice arbitrage betting for a living (aping financial arbitrage) in which time invested must also be measured as a cost.
Bookmakers are constantly changing their odds and assessing risk, so the average life-span of an arb can be as little as 15 minutes. This makes time of the essence, and when humans are time-pressured errors inevitably occur. Arb software systems can help in this regard, but their cost will eat into your profit margin.

The Jewish Girl Scouts Troop sold boxes of cookies, while congregants of Chabad Center in Pikesville handed out menorahs to people who don't have them.
It was Monday night—the third of the eight-night Festival of Lights—when state and county elected officials and community members gathered at The Chanukah House in Pikesville for the menorah lighting ceremony.
Israel 'Izzy' Patoka of Gov. Martin O'Malley's office; Del. Dana Stein, and Pikesville area community leader Ron Rosenbluth each lit one of the three lamps. Baltimore County Council Chairwoman Vicki Almond lit the shamash—the middle lamp.
Rabbi Schmuel Kaplan of Chabad Center and Lubavitch of Maryland led the ceremony.
Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz had planned to attend, but was called away to a family emergency, said his assistant, Nancy Surosky, who represented him at the ceremony.
Homeowners Yitz and Sora Fleischman hold the menorah lighting ceremonies each night during the Festival of Lights—in the ample driveway of their own home.
It's decked out in a Hanukkah theme, and is located at 6721 Greenspring Avenue. The public is welcome to attend the ceremonies.
For the list of ceremonies, visit The Chanukah House website. The next is set for Tuesday at 7 p.m.
Lighting the lamps Tuesday will be representatives from Pikesville area emergency services organizations: Hatzalah, Shomrim of Baltimore neighborhood watch group, Chaverim of Baltimore neighborhood help group and Baltimore's Community Emergency Response Team known as CERT.
The original Chanukah House on Park Heights Avenue was a tradition that ended when the residents moved to Florida. The Fleischmans bought those decorations from the original owners, and decided to continue the tradition in 2010.

text: You sound like a very jealous, disrespectful, and bratty ex-client. I know Amy. I know her family! She is a very compassionate, loving, caring, giving person. Every dancer recital I have EVER seen was very professional, well ran, and entertaining......if AMY was such a bad instructor, how could her shows be so tremendous????? And if Amy is such an anorexic, awful dance instructor, why do her past students love her so much. I am not going to slam YOU personally in any way because you obviously have a very big chip on your shoulder and there will be no telling you anything! Right now Amy and her family are GRIEVING in the loss of her sister Trudy......have the decency to say a PRAYER for her and her family!! And I hope you are very happy with your new instructor, I think Amy and the whole dance studio are better off also!This dance studio is not worthy enough of a rating. The dance instruction is poor, she is NOT College backed. She was hardly ever there to teach dance, and the students teachers should NOT be teaching. She does not pose as a good teacher looking anorexia. The atmosphere is poor with all the dirt dishing in the studio waiting room about her and work employees. Amy pays more attention to her dance team than her regular students, as the dance team members are very rude and acting goody goody to everyone. I am glad we left at the beginning of the year this year, cause for the past few years I have watched poor excuses be made, and watched past students arrive at the studio and she took her time to talk to them, than the students in the class room. They believe that when they arrive the dancing stops for them, as they believe they are the best dancers Amy has ever had. Last year at recital she let two of the past dancers dance, which I felt took away from the dancers of that year, and the seniors of 2008. My child begged me to remove her. And now we are at a much better place. Also don't trust the employees in the office. They are non worthy. Don't trust talking to anyone in that studio as they all are backstabbing people. And if you are on team you are NOTHING. But then I would not want my child to be on team there, and grow up like the nameless team members I have seen the past three years, and the way they act, and treat others as they are below them. And if you are not in the group of Kacies/Casey's or Marisa you are NOTHING. Amy get a clue... I watched alot of people leave.. Fix the problem or shut down.

coolrider Posts: 84I think mine has about every option (less AWD) that could be installed. It is great to drive. MPG's well we will see when I have to get more miles on the vehicle in town. My MSRP was north of 38000. The dealer had about 8 of the same color all fairly loaded. I knew that it would be a good time for a deal, last of the month too doesn't hurt either. Armed with the costs I was able to get about 11% plus some goodies for my Jeep. Let see if I can remember the options.
In early Feb., on a Saturday I heard from another LX forum that Woodhouse Dodge, Blair, NE advertised about a dozen Bright Silver Magnum SRT8s with Option Group 1 only, stickered for $39,080 and they were offering for $28,840. Sent them an internet contact on Sunday. Salesman called me on Monday morning (WV). By Mon. afternoon I had them delivering my MSRT8 by private trailer. It arrived on Thurs. morning (like the Schwan man). MSRT8 came off, my trade (a '05 300C, minimally optioned) went on the trailer in it's place, and the driver hauled it back to NE. BTW, they gave me my price for the trade and delivery was only $900. Who could say no?!
Here's a couple pics. Then...
And now... after adding electronic rearview mirror, U-Connect, MoPar rear parking sensors (all the things the orig. consignment car didn't have), plus tint, pin striping and some additional badges and interior appointments... I'm still way ahead of the cost game.
I "think" it may be against forum rules to post salesmen's names, so I'll refrain. But you can access the Woodhouse.com website, check out their inventory and make an internet contact. One of their many sales staff would follow-up in rather short order.
As I understand it my vehicle was one of 11 or 12, and a one-time consignment-type opportunity to the dealership. Although I heard that Performance Dodge of Lincoln, NE had a short-term sale in the weeks after that (back in Feb.) in which they were making similar discounts on either left-over '06 Charger and Magnum SRTs. Don't know that there are any deals like that out there anywhere at the moment.
But just like the situation changed for me... it can come quite unexpectedly... and you just have to be ready to pounce on it.

I think the new '08 Magnum grill looks too much like the Caliper, or Mini-Mag as I call them. And the new antena looks like a throw back to the old analog cell phone era. I think it's just to get away from the problems some/many had with AM/FM radio reception with the rear glass imbedded antena (perhaps more related to tinting options). I've never had those issues, but I'm not a fan of the pokey pig tail.
what kind of help are you looking for? I assume pricing? It is really really tough to price something like that. I mean, I would say price a used one and subtract for miles.
All I can tell you is that I recently saw one just like you describe but with 5k miles advertised for $21,995. Even if we assume paying full asking price on that one, and we allow for 20 cents per mile, then I would say one with zero miles should be around $23k.
'13 Stang GT; '86 Benz 300E; '98 Volvo S70; '12 Leaf; '14 Town&Country
price is 40k they said 32 they want me to come in. you know how that goes.they will not give solid prices on the computer.how far sould i push them on price 23 sounds good to me but i can buy a new o8 rtawd for about 32.i know the longer that car sits the less it is worth.do you think they would take 23 for it.everyday that car sits they lose. on it any help would be great.thanks ps what kind of problems should i worry about on a car that has sat for 2 years thanks again.
The only concerns with a car sitting for 2 years are the fluids. If there was gas sitting in there, it is in bad shape by now. And the oil may not look bad, but it should be changed, too.
Well, it can't hurt to make an offer. The worst they can do is say no.

bhigbhil1946 Posts: 4I have only this to say, I paid a lot for my RT, much more than most admit to, with all the goodies, extended six year warranty, tire and wheel damage warranty for six years (replacement as long as there are wear bars, up to $5000). But the true mark of how much you like your car is even if you did not get a great deal or what, you still love it many many miles later. So I can say that the large sum paid was well worth it, and I'd do it again. Not many RTs out there with Cold Air Hood Scoops and Candy Pearl Red. Yup a keeper!!!

Staff Reports
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Staying perfect on the season in both the Niagara Frontier League and overall, the Lockport boys varsity volleyball team continued its dominant ways on Monday with a straight set win over visiting Kenmore West.
With the 25-13, 25-5, 25-15 victory at LHS, head coach Joe Whalen's Lions improved to 3-0 in the NFL and are 5-0 overall.
Leading the way for the blue and gold on Monday were sophomore Jason Donorovich and junior Shawn Moore, both middle hitters.
Donorovich finished with seven kills and three blocks, while Moore added eight straight service points in the last game.
"The big men came through for me tonight," Whalen said. "West was a weak passing team and couldn't get any offense going, so it was also a difficult night trying to build momentum and to stay focused because of that."
Next up, the Lions play at Starpoint in a non-league contest at 5 p.m. Wednesday, then at 5 p.m. Friday, Lockport plays a difficult match at Grand Island.
"It was a workman's night. We did what we had to do," Whalen said. "The subs got in and did a nice job. The subs are gaining the experience we'll need from them down the stretch."
Ken West 3, Lockport 1
BUFFALO — The Lady Lions dropped to 1-3 in the NFL with Monday's four-set loss to the Lady Blue Devils.
The scores were 25-14, 25-12, 23-25, 25-23.
Top performers for Lockport were junior Megan Schneider, sophomore Hailey Bechtold and senior Sarah Mulvey, said Lady Lions head coach Kim Lockie.
Sarah Tray had 31 assists and four aces and Dana Mancuso added 17 kills for Ken West (1-3 NFL).
Roy-Hart 5, CSAT 0
BUFFALO — Emma Lindke netted a three-goal hat trick to pace head coach Dottie Barr's Lady Rams (2-3 N-O).
Alyssa Dodge opened the scoring for Roy-Hart just two minutes into the game. Lindke netted her first two goals and Natalie Brooks also scored as visiting Roy-Hart led 4-0 at the half.
In the second half, Lindke completed her hat trick as Lady Rams keeper Olivia Kelkenberg earned the shutout, making four saves.
Wilson 2, Medina 0
MEDINA — Lauren Austin scored in the first half and Mallorie Gagnon in the second for the Lakewomen, who stay perfect in the N-O at 5-0.
The loss drops the Lady Mustangs to 2-3 in the N-O.
Newfane 3, Albion 2
ALBION — Chelsey Dunn scored with just seven minutes remaining to snap a 2-2 tie and earn the visiting Lady Panthers (4-1 N-O) the N-O win.
Albion jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a goal by Sarah Papponetti, but Newfane rallied into a 2-1 advantage at the half on a pair of goals by Savannah Jonathan, the second coming with just two seconds remaining.
Albion (3-2 N-O) tied the contest at 2-2 three minutes into the second half on goal by Mariah Elsenheimer.
Starpoint 2, WSE 0
PENDLETON — Lexi Peters and Veronica Bellardini scored for the Lady Spartans (3-3-1, 2-2-1 ECIC).
Erika Longwell made three saves to earn the shutout.
Lockport 3, North Tonawanda 2
Delaney Portka won at third singles for the Lady Lions (5-0 NFL), who also swept the doubles competition at LHS on Monday.
Gretchen Ringler and Jessica Robins took first and second singles for the Lady Jacks (0-5 NFL).
Newfane 246 CSAT 256
GRAND ISLAND — Monday's Niagara-Orleans League match medalist was Newfane's Paul Tilyou with a 42.
Also for head coach Doug Ames' Panthers (3-3-1 N-O), Josh Gmerek shot a 47 and Zach LaJoie added a 48.
For CSAT (2-4-1 N-O), Joe Yakovac had a 45 and Greg Yakovac added a 46.

Are You Courageously Compassionate? Doing What Needs To Be Done: #49 Save Your Marriage Podcast
When we feel close to someone, compassion is easy. It comes naturally.
But when we are hurt or angry, when we feel disconnection from someone, compassion is harder.
That is when you have to be "courageously compassionate."
Sometimes, we let our feelings "call the shots." We get stuck. We give up. Or we become so frantic that we cause more problems.
But what happens when you change your perspective? What happens when you view your spouse from a different perspective — a compassionate perspective?

Do You Suffer From PPM Syndrome? How It Can Destroy Your Marriage!: #48 Save Your Marriage Podcast
Do you have it? Do you or a loved one suffer from PPM Syndrome? This syndrome infects many people — and they don't know they have it. When they hear the symptoms, many people continue to believe they do not have it.
Oh, sure, somebody they know has it, they tell themselves, but "not me." Let me suggest that many (if not most) people have some level of infection.
Does this syndrome hold you back? Most likely.
Does this syndrome hurt your marriage? Most likely. Whether you have it, or spouse has it, or both of you have it, this syndrome will damage any relationship.
But there is good news! There is relief. There is an antidote.
Before you get the antidote, you must diagnose the infection.
Listen to this week's podcast and determine if you (or someone you love) has PPM Syndrome ("poor pitiful me" syndrome). It is far more dangerous and widespread than you may think!
Let me know about your infection (and how it is affecting your marriage) in the comments area below!

7 Strategies When You Hear "This Will Never Work and I Don't Love You": #47 Save Your Marriage Podcast
A kick in the gut. Your spouse tells you "I don't love you." Or as you are trying to save your relationship, your spouse says, "This will never work." It can take you to your knees.
You might want to give up. You might believe your spouse is telling you the truth.
In actuality, your spouse is really telling you about his or her emotional state. And an emotional state is not the same as reality. Emotions change.
But you do NOT want to make it worse. You don't want to respond in certain ways that will only cause your partner to more deeply believe the story he/she is telling to you (and to him/herself).
In this week's podcast, I explain the truth behind these definitive and painful statements, plus 7 tips and strategies to make sure things don't get worse (and in fact, get better!).

5 Steps To A Midlife Marriage Mess; 5 Steps Through A Midlife Marriage Mess: #46 Save Your Marriage Podcast
Midlife crisis. It is the brunt of many jokes. Some people say there is no such thing. Evidently, they have never had a spouse go through a midlife crisis.

There are 5 steps that create a midlife marriage crisis, and there are 5 tasks required to successfully navigate the crisis.
If you are trying to survive a midlife crisis of a spouse, you will want to tune in and learn about why the crisis is there, how it can be useful, and how to change the outcome, so you can save your marriage (and your sanity!).
Did you know this crisis can be an opportunity for growth?
Did you know this crisis may propel your relationship to a whole other level (much deeper and satisfying)?

3 Things You MUST Do After An Argument: #44 Save Your Marriage Podcast
Arguments. We all have them. Few of us believe they are useful. Most people find them hurtful and destructive.
Yet we still argue.
After a lifetime of arguments, do we really believe that this argument or the next one is going to work better?
And yet we still argue.
A number of years ago, I was speaking with a very conflicted couple. They were once again arguing in my office. I once again stopped them as they began to spiral down into yet another argument about yet the same issues they had covered over and over in the past (with no resolution).
I told them we HAD to get the arguing stopped. I noted the arguments they were having were not solving anything, and weren't even trying to solve anything. They were just trying to score points against each other. They looked at each other, looked at me blankly, and said, "If we don't argue, what will we do?"
Habit. Their arguing had become habit. It was their default way of communicating. They solved nothing, but they couldn't figure out another way to communicate.
Been there? Done that? Argued and argued, even with that small voice telling you, "This is not going to go well. This is not going to solve anything." Or perhaps you had another little belief, "This time, they will see that I am right. This time, my spouse will see that my logic, my reasoning, is correct."
My guess is the argument ended the same way: both people hurt and neither person changing views. In fact, generally, we dig in even deeper and hold even tighter to our beliefs (even if we might secretly doubt ourselves). And you might even find yourself justifying that you've been done wrong (those thoughts may even be worthy of a country music song).
Why do we do it? Why do we argue? This week, in the Save Your Marriage Podcast, I cover some reasons why we argue, why they don't work, and what to do about it.
The real focus, though, are the 3 things you MUST do after an argument. Let me tell you now: none of the 3 are about an apology. That is too easy. This is about getting below the argument and examining what is going on with YOU, and why YOU got caught up in the argument.
Only from there can anything change.

Why Do Good People Have Bad Marriages?: #43 Save Your Marriage Podcast
In my years as a therapist, I met the nicest people. . . many suffering in painful relationships.
Sometimes, it can seem so confusing. Why can two nice people struggle so much to have a good marriage? How do two people that seemed so loving when they married, end up feeling frustrated and ready to walk away?
There are some reasons why this happens. In fact, there is a common pattern, almost a cascade of events, that leads to a painful, conflicted, or disconnected relationship.
The nice thing is once you see the pattern, you can begin to break the pattern and rebuild the relationship.
Would you like to know about that pattern?
Please listen to the free podcast audio below and discover the reasons why good people can have a bad marriage — and how to keep that from happening.

Is Your Marriage Chronically Stuck and Acutely Painful?: #42 Save Your Marriage Podcast
Is your marriage in a chronic state of stuck? Does your relationship suffer from acute periods of pain? Often, those moments of acute pain lead to a chronic state of "stuck." But that chronic state of "stuck" also creates the potential for more moments of acute pain.
Feeling stuck can lead to reactions of pain and anger. And those flares of pain and anger simply adds to the feeling of being stuck.
Do you stay stuck or do you leave for something better? Or do you find a third solution: a way to move the marriage out of stuck and to what Relationship Coach Annette Carpien refers to as having a "juicy marriage?"
Annette should know. She is a part of my team of highly skilled, highly trained, and highly effective Relationship Coaches. But more than that, she has traveled the terrain. She went from stuck to "juicy marriage" in her own life. gling
In this podcast, Annette and I discuss how to break through the pain, how to break through the stuckness, even how to break through a desire to quit the relationship. We talk about how your thoughts get in your way, how to stop struggling with your thoughts, and then how to choose your thoughts.
We discuss some habits you can make for yourself to "rewire" your behavior and your brain, and how to shift your relationship to one of vision and possibility.
Ready to discover and build a "juicy marriage?" Please take a listen.

The Trick to Saving Your Marriage. Careful. . . .: #41 Save Your Marriage Podcast
Are you working to save your marriage? Are you trying to figure out the trick to doing that?
Be careful.
Yesterday, I sent an email out to a group, asking what their "burning question" was about how to save a marriage.
Within minutes, the emails started coming in. By the end of the night, hundreds of emails were in my inbox. They are still arriving today.
I asked the question for one simple reason: I wanted to know what people might want to hear about or read about in my articles and podcasts.
There were some common themes about affairs and disconnected marriages. There were concerns on how to communicate with a distant or angry spouse. There were questions about how to approach issues like money, children, finances, forgiveness, and household responsibilities.
And there were questions about "tricks" or techniques to short-cut the process. We all want that, don't we? The diet industry makes a fortune each year, parading out the latest tip or trick to turn that fat to muscle.
We all want the short-cuts, the most direct route to anything. This is especially true about painful things — saving your marriage being one of those.
In this week's podcast, I wanted to talk about how to save your marriage, but without falling into the "trap" of a "trick." Sometimes, those "tricks" really run counter to who we truly are. We find ourselves making ethical and moral "adjustments" that leave us unable to feel good about looking in the mirror.
There are 5 points to keep in mind, as you work to save your marriage. Listen and learn those 5 points.

We ALL Have Issues!
"I don't think we should be married." That was "Jen's" opening words. "John" sat quietly beside her.
I asked her quietly, "Why do you think you shouldn't be married?" "Because," said Jen, "if we should be married, we would not be having problems. We wouldn't always be struggling." I sat quietly, not quite sure how to respond.
What an assumption! Any marriage that has struggles and challenges, so Jen believed, was not right.
Something had to be fundamentally wrong if there was a struggle. That conversation happened years back. I am no longer shocked to hear it. In fact, I have come to see this as a major myth of marriage: Struggle is a sign that something is wrong with a marriage, and may be a sign you should have never married in the first place.
So, let me clearly and directly dispel that myth: 100% of marriages have difficulties, challenges, issues, or whatever else you want to call it. Every single relationship will face tough times.
Having tough times, struggles, and issues is not an indicator that you shouldn't be married. It is not an indication that your marriage is doomed. It is not an indication that there is a psychological issue with you or your spouse. It is simply the fact that you are entirely and completely normal.
"Why Can't We Just Get Along?"
There is no more close relationship than a marriage. The two of you have tied your lives together. Therefore, actions taken by one are not dispassionately noticed by the other.
Spouses respond to situations differently than they might if a friend did or proclaimed the same thing. If my good friend with limited funds buys an expensive sports car, I may have concerns, but I can look at my friend and say "Good for you! Hope you enjoy it!"
But if my spouse did that, I would recognize the economic impact it could have upon me. My response is likely to be far less dispassionate and much more one of concern. My response will be partially based in self-preservation.
To say this a bit differently, because a marriage is two different people, with two different perspectives, trying to get through life together, there is going to be friction and conflict. It is not only inevitable, it is necessary. If a couple wants to get to a strong relationship, they must go through that friction. When couples spend all their energy "getting along," lots of hurts and misunderstandings get brushed under the carpet. They don't get cleaned up, so they are just waiting there. The pile grows bigger and bigger until the couple can't truly see each other for the pile of garbage under the rug.
"But The Smith's Don't Seem To Struggle!"
Here is where this little myth really gets out of control. We look at the image others portray and compare that with our own reality. Reality is much more dented and knocked around than the image we show the world. And that includes the image you show the world.
We just don't like letting people in on our struggles. While it is too bad we don't find support with others, that is what happens. Don't waste your energy comparing yourself to some other seemingly perfect couple. They have their own struggles.
Too many "perfect couples" end up divorced. They have either hidden their conflicts from others or from themselves. Either way, the struggle is still there.
"It All Seems So Hopeless!"
If you want to have a perfect, conflict-free relationship, that is hopeless.
But perhaps we need to stop seeing conflict as the problem. Not solving a conflict is a problem. Personalizing conflict is a problem. Fighting to win is a problem. Conflict is just a part of living in close proximity. Conflict can either be a scary event that leads to disconnection or it can be a way of creating deeper intimacy and understanding. If conflict has always been seen as destructive, you will avoid it.
As I continued my dialogue with Jen, I discovered that her parents did their conflict in very destructive ways. They threw things, cussed at each other, and never even solved the issue. After years of threats, they finally divorced. Jen learned that conflict is destructive and should be avoided at all costs. What she did not learn, but should have, is that her parents simply did not know how to manage their conflict. From then on, her young child's mind understood that conflict was destructive and dangerous. Her adult mind has never been able to get beyond that.
But let me ask you a question: does any development happen without a struggle? A child learns to walk by falling over and over again. A muscle gains strength by struggling against something heavier than usual. An adult learns new skills at work by taking on something not known and mastering it. This is true with a couple.
Sure, we can grow closer through good experiences. And those great moments of romance and connection are great! But it is the struggles and conflicts that truly mesh us together as a team. Whether the struggle is external to the couple or between the couple, the struggle is what truly leads to growth and development. How can you be hopeful? Give up on the false hope of a conflict-less relationship. Accept that conflict is a normal part of the process.
And learn how to make it productive.
"So That's It? Live With Conflict?"
You have to live with the fact that conflict is inevitable. But that does not mean that everyone is good at conflict. In fact, most of us find this to be a "work in progress." I am sure there are those who have mastered the art of healthy conflict. But they are rare. The rest of us have to learn skills and work to make conflict a method of growth, not of destruction. There are some traps that make that more difficult.
"What Are The Traps About Issues?"
Trap #1: Fight or Flight Mode. We humans are unique among the living and breathing creatures. We think in words. We not only have visual memories, but we can reflect on them with language. Which can keep us stuck in different modes. In the animal world, there are plenty of Fight/Flight/Freeze responses of animals.
Some animals are only prey, and so they have Flight/Freeze in their repertoire. Every now and then, such a creature strikes back defensively, but is not really fighting as much as struggling to flee. Then there are predators that will Fight/Flight, based on whether it senses it will win or lose. But for both animal predator and animal prey, once the event is over, the animal returns to normal behavior.
Humans, however, have the Fight/Flight/Freeze response. But in human interactions, we are not very good at sizing up the opposition. And on top of that, we can think about this conflict, think about past conflicts, and ponder what might happen after the conflict.
In essence, this can keep us stuck in an emotional state of fight/flight/freeze. The adrenaline keeps on flowing, long after the conflict, as we continue to think about it. More than that, once we step into a fight/flight mode, it becomes about getting away or taking the other person down. No longer is the subject of conflict the focus. The focus turns to taking out the other person, at least metaphorically.
Think, for just a moment, of the many times you found yourself in the midst of an argument, and no longer are you even discussing what led to the argument! Suddenly, past events, character issues, and anything else that comes to mind, becomes fuel for the fire. The beginning point of the conflict is lost. The task has turned to defeating the opponent (or getting far, far away from the opponent). Your mind has been hijacked by the fight/flight/freeze mode.
At that point, the conflict will NOT be a tool of growth, but one of destruction and attack.
Trap #2: Perceptions of Each Other. People are wonderful storytellers. We all write scripts in our minds. Some of them are fairly true, some are very false. None are absolutely true. In the stories I tell myself, I am the protagonist, the hero. That is probably true for you. When something happens, we all tend to see ourselves as a) innocent, and b) "been done wrong."
When I was a child, my older brother and I would sometimes get into tiffs. I lost. My brother would, in my mind, pick on me and hurt me. For years, I believed myself to be the innocent target of his temper. I believed I had done nothing wrong. One day, I began to see how I would bait him. I was not as innocent as I would have liked to believe. We all have perceptions of other people. Sometimes, they are somewhat accurate. But many times, we ascribe attributes, short-fallings, faults, and character flaws to the other person. This tends to taint our interactions. And it certainly taints our conflicts and issues.
Remember the Attribution Error from social psychology? The Attribution Error is simply this: When I do something wrong, I see it as a mistake. But when you do something wrong, I see it as a character flaw.
This colors our perceptions: the other has issues, but we simply make mistakes.
Thanks to psychology, there are plenty of attributes you can put on someone: they are anxious, depressed, anti-social, borderline, obsessive-compulsive, passive-aggressive, dependent, self-destructive, angry, etc., etc., etc. Might some of that be true? Absolutely. But it gives us a very simple label that belies the complexities of everyone, including ourselves. We quickly "diagnose" the other person, and then view them through that single lens.
Trap #3: Blame/Un-responsibility. I know, un-responsibility is not a word. Yet I am not describing irresponsibility, as much as the unwillingness of someone to take responsibility. Responsibility is about the ability to respond. This is something we always have.
Yet many times, we seek to find blame. It may be blaming a spouse or significant other. It may be blaming how we were raised or how that spouse/S.O. was raised. It may be about some other factor.
In the end, we all have control over two things:1. Our attitude,
2. Our actions.
We all get to choose our internal attitude. Will I choose to give up or will I choose to press on? Will I be constantly angry or will I be positive and accepting? Will I be constantly oppositional or will I note when I am really in opposition (One is a state of disagreeing, simply to disagree. The other is disagreeing because you truly disagree.)? Will I be loving or will I be judgmental/angry/rejecting/distant?
You may notice that attitude leads to actions. But they are different. Attitude is internal. Action is external. Actions often demonstrate our internal attitude. Yet attitude and actions may be disconnected. Our task is to work on choosing attitude and making sure that action is consistent with attitude.
Before you tell me this is impossible, that I am suggesting you always be upbeat and happy, I am not. I am suggesting that in any event, we have a choice of our attitude. We can choose to be responsible, to decide how we will respond, regardless of the external situation.
Trap #4: Belief That Marriage Should Make You Happy. This is another huge one. It is well-propagated by films, television, and fiction. In those romantic movies/shows/novels, the marriage is the means of discovering true happiness and fulfillment.
In reality, each of us is responsible for our own happiness and life satisfaction (listen to an interview about this here). This doesn't mean a marriage should make you miserable, then you fight for happiness elsewhere. It simply means that if you believe that a marriage is your path to happiness, you will be constantly disappointed and frustrated.
Marriage only works when two people are working to find satisfaction for themselves, and bring their best self into the relationship. Contrary to Jerry Maguire's statement in the movie, someone else does not complete you. Waiting for that will keep any marriage stuck.
This myth gets a couple stuck for one important reason: if you expect marriage to make you happy, to complete you, to provide you with a constant companion, then when it doesn't happen, you get lost. You assume that something is wrong with the relationship.
In reality, the problem is in the expectation.
Before I am misunderstood, let me clearly state: my goal and my hope for everyone is to have a happy marriage. My point here is the danger in the assumption that a marriage will make someone happy, not that a marriage can't be happy. A marriage can certainly be happy and fulfilling. But when the expectation that a marriage will make some happy is present, the relationship is weighted down by an unfair expectation.
I love this quote from Richard Bach: "If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem."
Trap #5: Everything Is An "Issue" These Days. We live in a heavily psychologized culture. Theory upon theory is proposed to explain human behavior. Sometimes, I think we have made it much, much too complicated.
I have advanced degrees (Ph.D., in fact) in clinical skills and knowledge. I have spent over 25 years learning, researching, and practicing how to best help people to change. Yet when I read some of the books, I am confused. The back-flips and side-steps proposed in "why" we do what we do is just so confusing.
In this day, everything is diagnosed, psychologized, theorized, and wrapped up in a nice little package. A single word describes situations. At the same time that theories are more and more confusing, people are reduced to a simple diagnosis. Neither are true. Human nature is not nearly as confusing as some theories would have you believe, and people's actions are much more complex than a single diagnosis would lead you to believe.
This is true with marriage. We have created some very complex theories to understand the "mysteries of marriage." I think the complexity has only led to confusion. (My response to simplifying how to work on a marriage is right here: 3 simple steps.)
When I was much younger, I was a magician (I still pull a few coins from the ears of children, but that is about it these days). I learned so much about psychology through doing magic. One central reason why magic tricks work is because people make things complicated. I remember one trick that required one small sleight-of-hand, one very simple move. Yet people constantly tried to use very complex explanations to tell me how the trick worked. No engineer could create what these people explained! All that was necessary to explain it was a simple sleight-of-hand.
The same is true with our theories. We spend so much time trying to figure out the minutiae of human behavior and interaction that we make it a complexity that only a Ph.D. could understand. Yet for millennia, humans have formed close relationships and sustained them for a lifetime — all without complex explanations.
More than that, as we turn everything into "issues" with connections to the past, we stop working on where to go from here. We spend inordinate amounts of energy proposing theories of "why it happened," but don't often move to the real question "what to do from here."
Do we need some understanding of what happened? Of course. But understanding where you have been will never help you choose where you want to go. It will only explain where you have been.
Don't get trapped in incessantly looking for what happened in your marriage. Don't spend all of your effort trying to understand the dynamics of your "issues." Don't make the process too complex.
"Issues" are really points of potential growth. They can always point the way to the next place of development in your relationship.
And since every marriage has issues, the real question is, how will you build the marriage you want to have? How will you work through the weaknesses and shortcomings to find a better approach? How will you build the connection between you and your spouse (even though you and every other human both wants and struggles with that deep attachment)?
I truly believe there are two approaches to change. One is to go on an archeology dig, going back through history and digging up all the skeletons. This can be entertained and can give a false sense of superiority by looking at the other person's shortfallings.
Or, one can work on building. Build a relationship, build a connection, build your self, and work on where you want to go. Sometimes, we have to look at the past in order to decide the future. But it is easy to get lured into a fixation on the past. That only keeps you stuck to the same old stories that have kept you stuck before.
"So What IS Your Point?"
Point 1: There is no deeper connection in adult life than marriage. It drags all of our insecurities, hopes, expectations (fair and unfair), and our potential for growth, into one relationship.
Point 2: Every marriage has issues. The issues are not the problem. Believing that the issues either mean you can't stay together or that things are helpless and can't be fixed, that is the problem. Issues are just part of an intimate connection. They are really opportunities to grow, as long as we don't fear them or flee them.
Will you learn to face your relationship issues and grow beyond them?

Comfortable pants, good fit for hanging out or biking in the winter. Haven't used them for snowboarding yet, too cold in NY and pants are a little slim for layering. I'm sure they'll be great in the spring as long as I can keep the pockets from filling with snow.

Library news and happenings.
Those of us who love to read, usually like to read book reviews. That's how we build our list of books-to-read-sometime.
Many newspapers and magazines have cut back or eliminated book reviews. NPR and CNBC are moving in to fill the void a bit. NPR.org is adding weekly reviews and hiring six new reviewers. (Will they read all day? What a great job!)
CNBC has launched its own book blog, Bullish on Books. It will focus on business, management, and personal finance titles and coordinate with the authors who appear on the cable news channel.
Of course there are other book reviews sources to be found on the internet and still some in print. Our librarians try to keep up with new titles too and many new popular titles are in our Hot Picks section and in our Staff Picks blog. Or, next time you're in one of our locations, pick up the latest issue of BookPage, a free monthly publication, compliments of KPL.

I made this cake for a girls' weekend at the lake. Everyone enjoyed it, but I don't know if it's actually better than Brad Pitt! Couple of changes would make it better. Using whipped topping in place of heavy whipping cream combo and using half the recommended pudding. The pudding seemed to overpower the pineapple. Will make again most definitely.
Tasty and easy, and a nice change from the various "Chocolate Suicide" desserts served everywhere. Be warned, however, that it is *extremely* sweet. I'd suggest small servings. I'm wondering if using lemon pudding instead of vanilla would cut some of the sweetness ... or reducing or even eliminating the sugar added to the pineapple.
I made this for a summer cook out. It was well received by all and several people commented on how it was a light, perfect summer dessert. I added chopped pecans on top, along with the toasted coconut. I also substituted reduced fat nondairy whipped topping instead of the whipped cream.

The son of former All-American running back Bobby Humphrey is heading to his father's former school. Marlon Humphrey, a five-star recruit from Hoover (Ala.) High School ranked as the No. 1 cornerback prospect by 247 Sports, committed to Alabama on Wednesday, choosing the Crimson Tide over Florida State and others. "Thanks for everyone that has supported me this far I'm happy to say I am committed to the University of Alabama!! #RollTide," Humphrey announced on Twitter. The first day for football recruits to sign national letters of intent is one week from now on Feb. 5. "Now that it's over, he can take a deep breath," Hoover coach Josh Niblett told ESPN. "The thing with him is he's handled the process unbelievably. He's had a plan, he's had his ducks in a row. He did a really good job of looking at all the aspects of the programs recruiting him. "In the end, he wanted to see what was the best fit for him and the best for his future. And obviously that choice came down to the University of Alabama." Humphrey had 35 tackles and three interceptions during his senior season at Hoover, which won a state championship. Humphrey's oral committment adds to Alabama's 2014 class, which is ranked by the major recruiting services as the best in the country. The Crimson Tide currently have 25 commitments.

An escaped prisoner was captured Saturday afternoon in Red River Parish.
Forty-five-year-old Richard Waylon Bamburg escaped from the Avoyelles Parish Detention Center near Bunkie, La., on Jan. 12.
The Red River Parish Sheriff's Office, working in conjunction with the Avoyelles Parish Sheriff's Office, the Louisiana Department of Corrections, the U.S. Marshals Violent Offender Task Force and the DeSoto Parish Sheriff's Office SWAT team, captured Bamburg after he was found hiding in the attic of a residence in the community of Martin.
Bamburg was captured two hours into a standoff with authorities when a Red River Parish sheriff's deputy saw him as he tried to drop back down into the residence from a small access point in the attic.
Bamburg has a lengthy criminal history, including arrests for attempted murder, aggravated sexual battery, burglary, narcotics violations and a prior escape charge.

Beginning Thursday (today), same-sex couples can get marriage licenses in Howard County. Once filed, the licenses will become effective on Jan. 1, 2013, according to the Marriage License Department of the Circuit Court for Howard County.
Same-sex marriage was signed into law by Gov. Martin O'Malley on March 1 and voters upheld the law on election day by approving Question 6.
After the law was upheld, there was a question as to whether same-sex couples would be able to receive a license before Jan. 1, the day the law officially goes into effect, according to the Baltimore Sun. Because marriage licenses require a 48-hour waiting period in Howard County beginning the day after a couple files, this would mean same-sex couples wouldn't be able to wed until Jan. 4.
However, Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler concluded county clerks could issue licenses as soon as the governor declared the referendum results accurate, according to the Sun.
On Thursday morning, Governor O'Malley signed the results.
More information on how to obtain a marriage license in Howard County can be found on Howard County Circuit Court's website.

- Women's Institute-Municipal Archive and Shadow Square_ Memory
The center of Móstoles City, although it seems to have a caothic condition, it is formed by a structure of differents public squares. From the Town Hall Square, there is urban pathway that conects the Cultura Square, the Ernesto Peces Square and the Pradillo Square.
The IMAM project, located between party walls, it is conceived like one more square that belongs to this general structure of public spaces. It not only proposes a new passageway between Colón and Ricardo Medem Streets but also a new half-covered public space with vegetation, childs playground, benchs….
Although they are two buildings with different functions, the Women's Institute and the Municipal Archive, the construction is configured as one piece, pierced by longitudinal courtyards. From the public square, these courtyards penetrate the building becominng huge flower beds with different types of scented climbing plants, sage, lavander and bamboo.
According to the competition requirements, the old Casino facade has been rebuilt, but with a new system of perforated galvanized steel plates, which arrange the access to the Municipal Archive, and also a new glasshouse between this facade and the new building.
Each courtyard generates two facade systems: the north facades, formed by large concrete walls washed with surface deactivant agent, and colored methacrylate bubbles; and the south facades, formed by large panes of different types of glass according to the sun's position. Both structural facades are also supported by V-shaped pillars, which free the ground floor space.
We are proposing a building without refinement. A raw building.
The structure is the finish of the building, the installations are visible, without false ceilings, etc… Only the colored methacrylate bubbles and the graffiti done by the Boamistura group of artists, will contrast with the rest of the building.
The configuration of the building's structural system is based on mixed porticoes made of steel and concrete.
The porticoes on the north side are formed by reinforced concrete screens, which work as deep beams, supported on HEM metallic pillars in a V shape.
The porticoes on the south side are formed by HEM metallic pillars which make triangular geometries to reduce the openings of the concrete beams.
The ends of each piece are freed up by large cantilevers of between 5 and 6 m., supported by the concrete screens and by the strenght of the HEM pillars which hang from their ends. There are two types of framework according to free light: if they have less than 5 m., they are flat 20 cms thick concrete slabs; if they have more than 5 m., they are ligth frameworks surfaces 50 cms. thick.
