In her provocative paper "A Pornography of Birth: Crossing the Moral Boundaries", New Zealand geography professor Robyn Longhurst asserts that "The moral boundary between what is considered 'normal' and what is
considered 'perverse' is constantly struggled over and is temporally and spatially specific. [U]nderstanding sexualized acts and spaces is multifaceted and contradictory since (hetero)sexuality does not stand alone but is entangled with gender, race, ethnicity, social class, age and so on." I am intrigued by philosophy and geography intersecting in a converation about the role of space in our epistemologies, and the impact that very understanding may have on our moral claims and subsequent (un)ethical behaviour.
We often talk about "Other" as a conceptual term, but it appears that we really see "Other" as a physicality as well. I think this helps explain how it is that our control of our behaviour in our day-to-day spaces becomes affected when we are in Other-space, such as a "red light" district. I do not have any statistics but I wonder how many adulterous affairs occur in hotel rooms, those anonymous spaces outside of our typical lived-space. Similarly, I wonder if it is the case that the men charged with sexual exploitation of children in foreign countries probably do not engage in such illicit and illegal behaviour in their home countries.
What it is about Other-space that affects our moral behaviour? What is it that allows us to give ourselves permission to act in either immoral, illegal, or exessive ways? Even the supposedly benign Spring Break culture of places like Tijuana and Daytona Beach illustrate this phenomenon. Surely the thousands of teenagers descending upon these places would not typically engage in such behaviours on the same scale back in their home-space. Perhaps the "Break" should correctly be seen as a verb; as a departure from moral norms.
There is indeed a sense that we cross into "immoral" space and place upon the inhabitants of these spaces the mark associated with that immorality. Once we cross into this space we also absolve ourselves of our ethical parameters. Thus the respectable businessman cruises for trade in the spaces of his city he knows to be so-sullied. He travels to Thailand where, apparently, children do not have the same inherent value as children in Canada. And so we are drawn to the away-spaces where we peel off our moral fabric and swim in deliberate delusions.
"...the knowing animals are aware that we are not really at home in our interpreted world." - R.M. Rilke

It's not logical, Captain...
In June 2002, former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfield delivered the following speech to a crowd of reporters who were asking about the progress of the war on terrorism:
"The message is that there are no 'knowns'. There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also known unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of these known unknowns...There's another way to phrase that and that is that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence".
History now affords us the truth behind Rumsfield's sophistry; that the WMDs of Iraq were imagined and that the so-called "war on terror" is a futile task. Yet, as someone who earned a degree in philosophy, I cannot help but marvel at Rumsfield's astonishing grasp of rhetoric and his cunning use if illogic logic to make his point. As Lewis Lapham commented, it was "a speech worthy of the riddling fool in one of Shakespear's enchanted forests". It should be required reading in all American high school civics classes, as a portent of the abuse of logic for nefarious purposes.

It was 20 years ago today...
March 9 marks the 20th anniversary of the release of U2's iconic album "The Joshua Tree". The album stood out among its peers for its imagery, lyrical allusions (hope remains yet in the moral, spiritual, and economic desert of America) and for its singular sound. Amidst the banality of 1980s synthezised pop this album yearned to mean something more.
In a 2001 VH-1 poll of 40,000 voters, "The Joshua Tree" was named the top all-time greatest album, beating out some outstanding work from the usual competition such as The Beatles, Radiohead, Oasis, Stevie Wonder, and Nirvana. A lovely tribute to the staying power of what is for me a very special album. And just this week, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame released its list of 200 essential rock albums, and "The Joshua Tree" came in at #5 (after "Sgt Pepper", "Dark Side of the Moon", "Thriller", and "Led Zeppelin IV").
A longtime U2 fan, I do consider "The Joshua Tree" to be U2's greatest album. Note I did not say "best". Without question their best album is "Achtung Baby" (1991)--it's their finest studio craftwork and it deserves all that much more praise for breaking the juggernaut that was their post-"Joshua Tree" image. But art is more than production. In terms of its scope, its cinematic ability to take you to a place you may not have yet imagined, and its vision of hope, "The Joshua Tree" is U2 reaching as far as they can with big sound and even bigger dreams.

The story so far
Who is Christopher Taylor
Yorkshire artist, Christopher Taylor, is a song-writer who loves to work both alone and in collaboration with other musicians and friends.
Over the years he has played and sung in a number of bands and as a solo artist, at all sorts of events and venues. Having been a professional musician in his 20's, in 2011 Chris got the opportunity to once again play professionally and is now able to give more time to his real passion for writing and performing his own songs. This has been something he has actively been working towards over the last few years.
It is as a soloist (vocals and guitar) that he currently gigs most of the time, although he can also call upon other musicians to add that extra colour as and when required.
What has been going on?
2015 was the beginning of a new chapter for Chris and 2016 proved to be another exciting year with new songs, updated branding and being presented with a number of awards for his music. In 2017 Chris released a collaboration EP called 'Meet me on the horizon'. On this he worked with some really talented musician, with songs incorporating Trumpet, Violin, Saxophone, Steel guitar and stunning additional vocals.
The EP 'Innocence' was released in 2018.
2019 was the beginning of another new chapter when Chris started working with Ville and Mat Leppanen at the Animal Farm studios.
With them he has released, Counting Bluebirds, With you life's beautiful (with a superb video), 16 Wishes and a Christmas single, My Angel
Chris records and gigs with Faith guitars.
Chasing rainbows (New Day, Only in my dreams, Chasing rainbows,Safely home, When I lie down with you). Meet me on the horizon ( Meet me on the horizon, How beautiful you are, No regrets, In your mind, Lost in your eyes). Innocence (Abraham Hill, Calling, Innocence). With the Animal Farm (Counting Bluebirds, With you life's beautiful, 16 Wishes, My Angel)
'Chasing rainbows' was awarded the Akademia Music Award for Best Pop Rock EP in February 2016. 'Meet me on the horizon' won the Akademia Music Award for best Pop/Folk song in May 2016.
Next steps
There are many ways to get involved with Chris's music, both here on this site and through other media you will see below. Please enjoy, follow, share and keep in touch.

Though some might believe it makes me a terrible food writer, I'm notoriously bad at patronizing pop-ups. I'll mark them on my Google calendar, get all excited about trying new dishes from daring young chefs eking their way towards their own brick & mortar. Then almost inevitably, something will prevent me from attending … IE. illness, car trouble, money issues, a heated argument with my SO, my lazy ass … you get the idea.
Tag: New Orleans Food
When Superior Seafood & Oyster Bar opened about seven years ago in the old Copeland's building, I was one of the first to check it out. I loved their Frozen Pomegranate Mojitos, BBQ shrimp, raw Gulf oysters, warm French bread and Shrimp Louie Salad. Over the years, I've dined there many times and usually with good results.
Looking back on 2017
Since 2013, Eater New Orleans (or should I say editor/writer extraordinaire Gwendolyn Knapp) would hit me up for dining reflections of the past year and predictions for the next. This year, I was not asked and I have to confess, I was a little bummed. Perhaps it was because the new editor, Stephanie Carter, doesn't know me from Adam or perhaps my recent slump in food blogging deterred her from seeing me as a reputable source … whatever the reason, I still feel the need to share. Whether or not this information is valuable is for you to decide …
Always blown away at Boucherie
By now, I imagine I don't have to tell anyone living within a 300 mile radius of New Orleans how good the eating is at Boucherie. Hell, I'm positive its reach is quite a bit further considering I no longer am surprised when out-of-towners seeking restaurant recommendations already have the Carrollton neighborhood restaurant on their "to-eat" list. Keeping this in mind, it can't hurt to offer up reminders every now and again, can it? Continue reading
Mini-vacation at Angeline
Far too long ago, John and I ventured into the French Quarter to enjoy brunch at what has become one of the city's most popular restaurants, Angeline. I don't know about you, but whenever I go into the Quarter, especially on a sunshine-filled day, I like to pretend I'm on vacation. I imagine that my suitcase filled with summer clothes is stashed in an elegant room in the Hotel Monteleone or the Ritz Carlton while John and I explore the beauty of the city with no worries, no deadlines, no work … just a day of unadulterated fun. Continue reading
Just lunch at The Standard
While I realize that owners Alison Wild and Lana Banks intended to honor their beloved Standard Poodle, "The Standard" still seems an odd choice for a restaurant name. It's analogous to deeming your sex life as "vanilla" or hosting an event touting itself as mediocre. Fortunately, I also believe that sometimes being standard is perfectly A-OK. Continue reading
Willa Jean: A Parking Story
Not to sound like a snot, but growing up around a major metropolis like San Francisco has taught me a few solid rules to follow when parking in the city. First, never park illegally or you will most definitely be ticketed, booted and/or towed. Second, never ever leave anything inside your car that can be seen from outside, that is unless you're looking to have your window busted in and that item (and possibly your whole car) stolen. Finally, and central to the point of this blog, always pay the full amount on the meter whether you think your stay will be shorter or not. City time is different from any other kinds of time and there are tons of reasons one can get held up. Isn't a $3.50 fee better than a $50 parking ticket? I would also add that when parking on a hill, be sure to turn your wheels, but in New Orleans that is (thankfully) not something anyone has to worry about. Continue reading
Twice as nice
While dining at the restaurant of a talented chef can be a choice experience, enjoying a menu created and prepared by a collaboration of two talented chefs is definitely twice as nice.
On Tuesday, February 23rd chefs Alex Harrell of Angeline and Jason Goodenough of Carrollton Market are joining forces to present a five-course prix fixe menu featuring California Olive Ranch olive oil plus meat and seafood sourced from Inland Seafood. This synergistic experience will be held at Angeline located at 1032 Chartres Street in the French Quarter. Continue reading
Pining for Press Street Station
In addition to a two-bedroom in the French Quarter (renting for $950 no less!), one of the first apartments I looked at was in Bywater. It was a gigantic half of a double with two bedrooms, high ceilings, transoms, hardwood floors and a built-in bookcase in the parlor going for $495 a month. Instantly I was sold, but I had to convince my mother. Continue reading
It's OK, eat the whole bag. Love, Cookie
Unless I'm overcome with a nostalgic craving for Double-Stuf Oreos and ice-cold milk, most store-bought cookies are just not worth the calories they cost. Not that I'm watching my figure (it's pretty much the same … fat), but I estimate that if you're going to gorge yourself on sweets, why not indulge in the good stuff? Admittedly, I did have a thing for Pepperidge Farm Brussels, but even they have gradually lost their luster, blatantly falling victim to cheaper ingredients and large-scale mass production all in the name of profit. When it comes down to it, nothing can beat home-made cookies, particularly my cookies, fresh out of the oven. Continue reading

Russia-US face off in Baltic
May 1 , 2016
A Russian Jet fighter intercepted an American jet over the Baltic Sea on Friday. Tension between the two super powers is on the rise since Russia's annexation of Crimea and has resulted in disruption of relations between the West and the East. Pentagon blamed Russia for acting in unsafe and unprofessional manner while Russia alleged the Jet to have turned off the transponder signal which helps identify a plane. Russia has time and again made this accusation of US' Jets flying in the Baltic and nearby regions.

Most of us are aware of the many forms trauma can take in our lives. As a society, we have accepted trauma as a fact of life. It's no longer seen as a problem reserved solely for soldiers or victims of violence; sources are wide ranging. They can include such things as: natural disasters, exposure to violence, serious illness, medical/dental procedures, accidents, falls, the sudden loss of someone close to you, surgeries, difficult births, childhood neglect/abuse, high levels of stress, toxicity during gestation, etc. Symptoms will not result from every traumatic event we experience, but are rampant in the lives of many.
Some Common Symptoms of Trauma:
- Dissociation
- Chronic pain
- Panic or anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Chronic tension
- Sleep disorders
- Addictions
- Migraines
- Sexual dysfunctions
- Gastrointestinal disorders
This list is in no way exhaustive or even complete as symptoms of trauma are extensive, but can serve as a good baseline.
To understand the symptoms of trauma it is useful to refer to basic biology. You may have heard of "fight or flight," but the biologic response to danger or attack does not end there. In the instance when the individual under attack does not escape through either flight or flight methods, many will enter an altered state. It can be seen in animals that have been captured by a predator. They fall, immobile, to the ground. This response allows the animal to avoid suffering at the time of death. Having said that, if an opportunity for escape presents itself even after this seemingly fatal biological response, the prey animal may still arouse from its stupor or trance and successfully escape.
The state of immobility that occurs when a predator traps its prey is key when attempting to understand trauma. Once our fight or flight survival responses have been engaged, they need to succeed in their purpose in order for our nervous systems to revert back to a restful state.
If this is not possible, the nervous system may default or freeze. Individuals in this immobilized or frozen state often appear calm on the outside, but inside their systems are operating at panic levels below their conscious awareness. This creates the symptoms of trauma we have become accustomed to seeing. The symptoms of trauma develop as a result of the inability to complete the process of moving through the immobility response and successfully discharging the powerful survival energies intended to aid us in moments of emergency and danger.
These biological urges are instinctive. They are generated in the most primitive part of our brain thus trauma symptoms are often related to the functions regulated by this same area of the brain: heart rate and blood pressure, breathing, digestion, appetite, sex, sleep, etc. To put it simply, trauma symptoms appear to be a natural way of containing the intense energy generating by our own survival instincts until they can be resolved.
Extreme symptoms can be classified as PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), but milder forms can also be damaging and difficult to treat and often result in general anxiety, etc. Regardless of the severity of the symptoms caused by trauma, there are healing treatments available. Trauma, once felt, does not necessarily need to result in a life sentence.
Peter Levine developed Somatic Experiencing, a gentle therapy that can successfully resolve and discharge these unresolved survival energies that generate varying degrees of trauma symptoms. The treatment is based upon the fact that our bodies are biologically designed to know exactly what to do in order to heal the damage that can be created when survival energies are trapped without resolution. They simply need adequate support.
The primitive part of our brains govern our survival responses, but we also have higher brain functions; emotional and cognitive responses that can interfere with the natural instincts of our primitive brain functions.
If you have questions about how to treat trauma or if you are unsure if you are identifying symptoms of trauma correctly, please get in touch with Lynn Brimhall, LCSW.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a gentle and successful treatment supporting our bodies as they access this natural wisdom and apply it to the healing and resolution of the effects of trauma.

Liberals to secretly issue firearms ban?
Last week, an interesting question was asked in the House of Commons that the Liberals refused to answer. It was: Will the Liberal Cabinet will be issuing a secretive Order in Council, without public discussion, that will implement a firearms ban in Canada? Will it be announced in June in Vancouver at a Liberal-organized women's conference where Trudeau will share the stage with the female Prime Minister of New Zealand?
This involves secret cabinet activities shielded from the public's eyes. It excludes Parliament from the decision and any discussion. It ignores Canadians – and when they did consult, 80% told them to leave legitimate firearms owners alone. It involves the confiscation of private property, and it will take policing resources from fighting crime to going after regular Canadians.
And the sole reason? To give Justin Trudeau a photo op to help him change the channel on the disastrous last year. This is like so many other poorly thought-out proposals of his government – all based on what helps him and his friends, not on what is best for the average Canadian.
David Anderson, MP

The report on the BBC has it that this was a 'raid' - like some raid that male undergraduates iinflict on their fellow female students in American colleges. But, of course, it was, instead, a deperate act of a desperate administration whose foreign policy has failed catastrophically and is now lashing out with mindless violent glee on those it regards as its enemies but whom it has been unable to get round to invading or bombing proper in the past eight years.
The US action took place five or six miles inside the Syrian border and the US soldiers murdered eight civilians. Gunned down just like that. Lives shattered in an instant. The incident will be forgotten about in a couple of days of course. There will be far far less coverage on this criminal outrage than the average Mall shooting in Kansas or where ever.
A crucial part of the political forgetting process, after the maddeningly angering denials, is the bland statement that an "investigation" will be undertaken. The MSM takes its cue every time from this. The news is couched in modalities and scepticism of 'native' sources - in this case Syrian - and is always quick to introduce malignant hints that those on the receiving end either brought it all on themselves or were just really unlucky, as if they had been hit by lightning or swept away in a flood or the like. Then, without fail, when the reports are finally confirmed, the news story is reintroduced fourth or fifth item down the itinary and quickly passed over.
But this killing is of a different order. It's the first time the US have attacked anywhere in Syria. Today as well, further deaths in Pakistan at the hands of these out of control butchers. Sure 'Taliban' members get killed to, along with 'innocent' civilians. But when you describe resistance fighters as Taliban, then even that cover story instantly evaporates. And it's no use hoping for a change of tactic when Obama gets in. Just more of the same.
The boot has kicked the face in for long enough now surely. Beware out there, there will be a response to this.

We all love our dogs. We call them "man's best friend" for a reason, right? But do you ever wonder if you're doing everything you can to keep your four legged fellow safe while you're out and about? So many of us enjoy sharing an active lifestyle with our dogs. Your PetPartners family wants to make sure you have the information you need to do it safely.
Do you like to jog with your dog?
- Always use a leash. Even the best behaved dogs give into their instincts every now and then and next to the road, where most of us jog, is not the place you want to have that happen. Play it safe and smart by keeping your pet on a leash.
- Remember your pooches' pads. They aren't wearing shoes and the surface of sidewalks and streets can be hot in the summer so you should walk in the morning or evening when the temperatures aren't at their highest. In the winter streets and sidewalks can be cold and covered in de-icers that are toxic to animals. Wash and dry their feet to remove any residue.
- Know what level of activity your dog is ready for. All breeds are different. Some are better equipped for long distance jogging while others are built for shorter distances.
- Don't forget, your dog needs to be conditioned just like you do. Gradually build up the distance you are hoping to cover with your dog, don't just run out of the gate for a marathon.
Are you planning a hike with your four-legged fur baby?
- Using a leash is always highly advised, even when hiking, but if you are interested in allowing Rover to roam free, first make sure the area allows off-leash dogs. You also want to make sure your dog responds quickly to your commands in the event he decides to take off after a newfound forest friend.
- You never know what you might encounter when you're out enjoying nature. Make sure your pet's vaccines are up to date.
- Make sure you bring enough fresh water for you AND your pooch. Don't forget the bowl. They make a ton of travel friendly, collapsible water bowls for this very purpose. Cupping your hands together just doesn't work as well as you would hope… I know, because I've tried.
Does your dog love to make a splash?
- Just like kids, dogs should never swim unsupervised.
- Try to keep your water loving tail wagger from drinking the water. Water in pools often contains chemicals not meant for consumption. Lakes, ponds, and puddles can contain parasites and can make your dog sick.
- Always rinse your pup after a swim to remove any dirt, salt water or chemicals.

A bite from the lone star tick might make even the most voracious carnivores think twice before biting into a burger.
An inadvertent soldier in nature's fight back against human consumption, the tiny tick—named for the single white spot on its back—has been turning barbecue-lovers into reluctant vegetarians along the East Coast, setting off allergic reactions to meat amongst those it bites.
"People will eat beef and then anywhere from three to six hours later start having a reaction; anything from hives to full-blown anaphylactic shock," said Dr. Scott Commins, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. "And most people want to avoid having the reaction, so they try to stay away from the food that triggers it."
Scientists blame the tick's saliva, which, seeps into the body through the bite wound and potentially interferes with normal biological functions. In laboratory tests, lone star tick bites led to elevated blood levels of alpha-gal, a complex sugar found in beef, pork, and lamb.
"It's hard to prove," said Dr. Commins, commenting on the relationship between the tick and its effect. "We're still searching for the mechanism."
While causation hasn't yet been confirmed, a steady stream of support for correlation exists. Commins' group has seen upwards of 400 meat allergy cases this year, and 90% of those affected reported having been nipped by the lone star tick.
But even though scientists are close to solving the health riddle, and even though the allergy's becoming more and more common in the South and the East—perhaps, suppose officials, because a relatively warm weather year has brought out the ticks—experts still consider the allergy a bit, well, weird.
"It's very atypical as food allergies go," said Dr. Stanley Fineman, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. "Most food allergies occur very quickly. And it's also a bit unusual to see adults develop a food allergy."
Indeed, developing an allergy in adulthood is unusual. It's also tough to adjust to, especially when it spoils a major food group and a major habit for most people. According to Commins, some patients are taking their fortune in stride, while others are taking their misfortune to the heart.
Either way, Mother Nature will be happy to know that a few diehard meat-eaters have officially gone green.

Teen hit by bus welcomed home from hospital
When Nick Cuccia fell off his bike and in front of a bus in July 2017, his parents were told he wouldn't survive. His friends and family said it's a miracle he's home today.
"We owe so much to the city of Rogers and everyone who has been here for us," said Jace Cuccia, Nick's father. "The thing that really gave us so much hope was just everybody reaching out and kind of lifting us up and giving us words of hope, words of encouragement words of scripture," Nick's mother Erin added.
Cuccia's neighbors, family and friends came together to welcome Nick home with a whole parade, including the Rogers Heritage High School drum line and Rogers EMS.
Erin and Jace Cuccia told 40/29 News they hope every parent pays attention to their children and reminds them to wear a helmet when riding a bike.

Calgary boater presumed dead after life-jacket found on bank of B.C. river Back to video
"The force of the waves knocked the one person off balance . . . Warren was operating the boat, he got up to attend to his friend and the boat capsized," Blakney said. Both men were wearing life-jackets over their clothing.
RCMP arrived at 11:12 p.m. after campers at Blanket Creek Provincial Park, on the Columbia River's east bank, heard cries from the water.
The friend, who is also from Calgary, made it to shore safely and was located at 6 a.m. the following morning. He was airlifted to hospital as a precaution.
Blakney said darkness and weather conditions made for "a very dangerous situation."
An extensive air, water and ground search was carried out starting Friday morning, but was called off Saturday at 2 p.m. due to poor weather.
"How many of us wear life-jackets over our clothes? Most of us do and the assumption is you'll be safe," Blakney said. "Once you get in the water with your clothing on and try to swim . . . it's incredibly difficult.
"These guys were pushing their luck and it was a terrible accident . . . (It is) something to consider the next time one goes boating."

Granted, it can be a bad sign if we ask the question, "Should I quit? In Relationship" put. It does not have to be! We tell you what in doubt rather speaks of a separation.
Should I quit In Relationship ? No – if it is just a phase
The good news first: When we ask ourselves in our Relationship, "Should I quit? In Relationship", That's not always a bad sign. Not even orgasm problems are a compelling reason to end a relationship.
We all have phases in our lives where we feel insecure and question one or the other – the job, the circle of friends, the leisure time and even the Relationship.
This is normal and just part of it. After all, we continue to develop for a lifetime, so the need for change is not uncommon .
If our partner is the right person for us, our Relationship will certainly survive our self-discovery processes, even though there may be some struggles in those phases.
Should I quit In Relationship ? Yes, if your Relationship is not good for you
But now the bad news: buzzing the thought "Should I put an end?" over and over again through our heads, that may be an expression of a gut feeling that our Relationship does not make us Happy . Then again, we should seriously consider our partnership, because most of our gut feeling is something.
To continue a Relationship without love, in which we permanently feel uncomfortable and think of separation, misses their "purpose" (doing both well!) And makes them unhappy in the long run – and for that, life is just too bad. In that case, putting an end to the benefit of both parties is definitely the right decision, even though it may initially feel like giving up or even failing to end it, and causing terrible anxiety.
That's how we recognize Healthy Relationship
Now to get clarity, why you the question "Should I quit? In Relationship" So often in your head, find out if your friend and you are basically having a healthy relationship, one that does both of you more good than bad.
There are at least some features! Here are the five clearest signs that speak to give your Relationship a chance. That they should be based on reciprocity, it is probably clear.
1. You can drop yourself in the presence of your partner and be yourself.
No matter how stressful your day was and how much you had to pull yourself together to be the "strong," "friendly," or "creative," once you have your partner around you, any tension in your social life will fall away.
You do not hold back your feelings, do not think about everything you say, and be who you are. Just as if you were alone except that it is nicer with him because you can exchange body contact (and of course have sex), talk, laugh, shred and and and.
2. You are looking forward to spending time together with your partner – even if you do not want anything special.
Even if you just want to hang out on Sunday, you'd rather do it with your partner than without him.
It gives you a good feeling when it's just around you, and you let each other have some freedom, even when you're lying on the couch together.
3. With your partner you discuss everything that is on your mind, even your deepest fears and dreams.
There is nothing embarrassing about your partner, not even this one dream, which you actually find quite naive and that your best friend does not know.
You just know that your partner takes you seriously and respects you. That shows itself in the way he sometimes teases or targets you.
4. You wish your partner all the luck in the world.
The salary increase, a goal achieved in the gym or just outrageously nice colleagues – what you might envy other people and even wish friends with a touch of jealousy, treat your partner wholeheartedly.
In your Relationship, the principle is: Shared happiness is double happiness.
5. Your partner encourages you and helps you reduce self-doubt.
Your Relationship is, as a rule, the safe field in your life from which you draw strength.
If you're down (and not just minor Relationship problems or heartbroken reasons), you can at least rely on one thing: your partner will neither stress you further nor drag you further.
Ideally, it will even help you get back on your feet faster.
Do all these things sound like a dream world to you, a fantasy of love that in reality does not exist?
You should not! If you do not know anything about it , ask yourself, why you are with your partner at all.
But keep in mind: There is one-night-stalls for sex , you can save on rent in shared apartments and against loneliness or Empty Nest Syndrome, there are other means.
If you have come to the conclusion that you would rather end your relationship, perhaps the tips of our expert on the question " Should I quit? In Relationship "
Here we will gladly tell you which phases of separation then probably come to your ex and you ,
By the way: Even relationship anxiety can make us feel uncomfortable in Relationship – even though we love our partner very much.

"Normally, as kids move up in grade parental participation drops off," Hardiman says. "We're finding that our elementary school parents are a good influence on our middle school parents. They tend to serve as role models…."
Duh, were not the middle school parents elementary school parents first?
So there is to be NO intermediate step between elementary school and high school? How dumb is that?
There's no reason why middle school can't be somewhat nurturing. My daughter's was, and it was still a reach for her.
And Chris O'Donnell's translation is spot-on.

HOW TO Select a BLOG THEME
I stated that Choosing a theme is like falling in love, that is absolutely true!
There Are tons of factors that affect falling in love: beauty, desirability, similarity, want fulfillment…like the ability to put down a hardwood floor, possibly?
A woman can Dream, can't she?
(Let's just Say I didn't marry my husband due to his handiness around the home. .)p–>
Anyway, my point is if people come to your site, you want them to fall A little bit in love with you.
If they do, There is a great likelihood they will come back again.
Then again.
And hopefully Repeatedly, till you're such good buddies that you share inside jokes together in the comment section. (I need US to be friends like that.)
Studies show You only have 7 seconds to create a first impression…and don't you need a reader's first impression of you to be BRILLIANT? (FYI, in case it's not you risk them clicking away and rebounding and never to return)
So how can you Catch their attention with your website theme? In fact, it's really easy!
You Need a theme that is:
· Attractive

Obviously, You can't just think ONLY on your readers!
In addition you to Think about yourself.
If You're Trying to turn your blog into a fulltime organization, you need a theme that supports you, something that is easy to install, and that you are able to customize to your specific needs.
There are Complimentary WordPress topics and WordPress topics. Even though you can discover amazing free themes, they may not be portable responsive and may not be updated as often as needed to maintain a beautiful and functional site in the ever-changing online area. A premium theme normally offers you upgrades and client support. Customer care is critical as if something is not working correctly or you have any queries concerning your subject you'll want to have an answer. Having a completely free motif, you might not even know who designed it, let alone have a way to contact them.
Important note: you need the Genesis Framework so as to utilize a R316 motif. The R316 topics are constructed upon the Genesis Framework, like a house is built upon a base. The Genesis theme is that the"parent" theme along with the R316 theme is the"child" theme. If you are feeling confused by this information, you may want to look to a blogging manual like Building a Framework prior to getting started…that resource is why I was able to begin earning money off my website, immediately!

The Genesis Framework is the foundation of your site. As you won't see the functionality of this Genesis Framework from the front end of your website it makes the back end a lot easier to use. The Genesis Framework is what makes your website simple to personalize and cellular responsive. A lot of bloggers depend on the Genesis Framework as the building blocks of their site since it's SEO friendly and easy to work with.
Lots of enormous bloggers utilize Restored 316 Designs topics.
I reached out To Lauren Gaige, the owner of R316 and asked her which of her themes are the most popular (it's not Delightful Pro, boohoo.)
Their most Well-known topics, in sequence, are:
2. Refined
3. Anchored
4. Market
5. Darling & Sprinkle Guru (tie)
They Offer a quiz for those who are not sure what theme would be right for you!
This is their New number three motif that's quickly climbing to the peak of the ranks, Anchored.
*Note: when I had ONE complaint regarding my Beautiful Guru theme, it would be that it doesn't have a sticky announcement bar with a button link at the top. I NOW know that these kinds of pubs with buttons instantly convert more email subscriptions. (FYI, do not get hung up on the bar too much…there are plugins that can do this, or you might also have one custom coded.)
Should you take a Glimpse around my website, you'll find that everything is very harmonious.
From the Social media buttons at the top, right down to the colour of my links, everything is constant.
Here are some of the words that my readers have used to describe what They like about my site:

· Gorgeous
· Rich
· Simple to Use
· Organized
Which is Literally everything that I wanted to exude when I was brainstorming for my own blog!
That means Your blog is going to look fantastic no matter who's seeing it on what apparatus.
It doesn't Matter if it's Joe Schmoe driving the train whilst studying on his iPhone or Grandma Lois peering at it on her desktop, surrounded by cats.
Your theme Will match itself to each screen automatically, be it desktop, tablet, or mobile.
I had a girl Complaining to me Facebook another day that she spent three hours on her website — just to realize that she'd bought a non-mobile responsive theme and had to start over from scratch!
Do not be that girl. Captivating Theme By Restored 316
No Issue What page you land on, it's easy to navigate to my site or anywhere else on my blog. My theme has menus, secondary menus, a class index, a topical search indicator, and monthly archives!
All Restored 316 themes also arrive with a search box that enables readers to run a search in your blog using keywords. That is useful if someone remembers they watched something in your blog, but are having a difficult time locating it.
By Way of Example, Let us say that they recalled reading my post on hitting 140,000 pageviews in my eighth month blogging, but haven't visited in ages and forgot to save it.
A quick Search for"140,000″ or"eighth" is going to turn up that post!
Easy peasy Lemon squeezeysqueezer
This is what The basic version of my site motif originally looked like. As you can see in the picture above, my website has the exact same design — I simply changed things up a little! (Update: I changed my theme; more below!)
I made my Emblem myself in PicMonkey and customized the colors to my brand (coral, mint, green, red, and yellow).
