You look at your husband, sitting there watching television and you wish he would pay more attention to you. What can you do to make your husband crazy in love with you again? You still love him, but he just seems to take everything to do with your marriage for granted. What happened to him?
When a marriage is new it is like fantasy land. So much to discover about each other. No problems and a rosy future. Then reality sets in. Things lapse into a dull routine and familiarity rears it's ugly head. You start taking each other for granted. Individuality is forgotten and the trouble begins.
Although this is the pattern of most marriages that end in divorce, it doesn't have to be that way. Sure, people change, but that change should be for the better not the worse. A marriage is no different than any other undertaking, it requires constant work and patience in order to be successful.
The work it takes to make a successful marriage shouldn't be drudgery, it should be a labor of love. To make your husband crazy in love with you again, you will need to look at yourself. See how you have changed. The best way to do this is by remembering how you were when your husband first fell in love with you and make up your mind to be that person again.
If you were more outgoing and full of fun then, be that way again. Quit being too much of a mother and more of a wife. When the children came along, you rightfully had to take some attention away from your husband and he understands that, but he didn't want to lose the girl he married entirely.
As your husband sits there watching television, did you ever consider that he may be thinking how can I get my wife to love me again. The best cure for any marital problems is some good old fashioned communication. Try it and see how easy it is to make your husband crazy in love with you again.
Putting the spark back into your marriage and making your husband crazy in love with you will require hardly any effort on your part at all. Just use a few proven strategies that will make for a solid and long lasting happy marriage.

World powers are holidng talks in London aimed at tackling the rising threat of al-Qaeda in Yemen, in the wake of a failed attempt to attack a US airliner last month.
Representatives from 21 countries gathered in the British capital on Wednesday to discuss ways to help Yemen address its security problems and bolster a faltering economy.
The meeting is focusing on "how to assist the Yemen government to improve security, root out al-Qaeda and promote economic and promote economic and social development", Britain's foreign ministry said.
Gordon Brown, the UK prime minister, called the one-day meeting after a Yemen-based al-Qaeda affiliate claimed responsibility for a plot to blow up a US-bound passenger jet on December 25.
Delegates will also press Yemen to push ahead with economic reforms and tackling corruption.
Yemeni concerns
Some Yemeni officials have expressed concern at the prospect of foreign interference.
"What we want above all is a commitment on the development (and) the building of our capacities against radicalisation," the AFP news agency cited Abu Bakr al-Qirbi, Yemen's foreign minister, as saying on the eve of the meeting.
Profile: Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula Neither wars nor drones Yemen, the joke is on you Video: Yemen readies to take on al-Qaeda Video: Yemen in focus over US bomb plot Yemen - New frontline for US wars? Inside Story: An international quagmire Inside Story: Can the West save Yemen? Riz Khan: Yemen - A failed state?
"He will say Yemen welcomes economic assistance from the outside world, but not troops," Vall said.
"Yemen still remains deeply concerned that the country could be overrun and even occupied by foreign troops for a prolonged period of time."
Yemen is battling an independence movement in the south of the country and Houthi fighters in the north, as well as the domestic al-Qaeda affiliate, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
Vall said Yemen's tribes have recently rallied behind the government in its fight against al-Qaeda.
"But any heavy-handed security crackdown on al-Qaeda that leads to civilian deaths in rural areas could turn the tide against the government - something that could limit the government's military options against extremism," he said.
'Clandestine US operation'
In what could further inflame anti-Western sentiments in the region, the Washington Post has reported that Barack Obama, the US president, has approved secret joint military and intelligence operations with Yemeni troops.
The report, published in the US newspaper's Wednesday editions, said the operations began six weeks ago and resulted in the deaths of six regional al-Qaeda leaders.
It said Obama approved a December 24 attack against a compound where Anwar al-Awlaki, a controversial Muslim leader who holds US citizenship, was believed to be meeting al-Qaeda leaders.
"The clerics have announced that if Americans set foot on the ground here in Yemen they would give a fatwa for jihad in this country"
Mohamed Vall, Al Jazeera's correspondent
The operation involved several dozen troops from the US military's Joint Special Operations Command.
The US advisers do not take part in raids in Yemen, but help plan missions, develop tactics and provide weapons and intelligence, the Washington Post reported citing military officials.
Vall said the news of US forces already in Yemen could complicate the security situation in the country.
"Even before this news came out, Yemenis had been concerned about US intervention. This is going to make more Yemenis afraid," he said.
"The clerics have announced that if Americans set foot on the ground here in Yemen they would give a fatwa for jihad in this country.
"Imagine what is going to happen if the masses, which listen to those clerics, follow their order and announce jihad on American troops."

PricewaterhouseCoopers Offers a Glimpse into the 2015 Retailing Environment
The retail industry will become more segmented and customer-driven by the year 2015, according to "Retailing 2015: New Frontiers," a report released today by PricewaterhouseCoopers' Retail & Consumer Industry Practice and TNS Retail Forward. The report identifies 15 growth drivers and predicts 15 trends that will redefine the retail environment in 2015. Among shifting demographics, household downsizing and new marketing channels, the retail industry will face a variety of new challenges as the industry progresses during the next decade.
"Overall, the retail industry will need to adopt a more targeted approach in order to reach its customers," says John Maxwell, retail & consumer industry leader for PricewaterhouseCoopers. "The 'one-size-fits-all' approach of the 1980s is not going to work as the population becomes more diverse and tech savvy during the next decade."
According to 'Retailing 2015,' the most rapidly growing age segment in the United States will be that consisting of those older than 55. Members of generation Y and millennials (those under the age of 35) will be more culturally diverse and technologically inclined, while less enamored of large conglomerates and chain stores than their baby boomer parents. In addition, the population will become increasingly diverse, with nearly half of the population under the age of 25 identifying themselves as non-white in 2015.
"Due to the demographic dichotomies, a new consumer mindset will emerge in 2015 that will have far-reaching implications for the retail industry," explains Maxwell. "Consumers will want to be more interconnected with the businesses they patronize, exercise more control over their purchases, customize their products to serve their individual needs and indulge in shopping as a life experience."
The study reveals that the fallout of marginal malls will continue as fewer existing malls reach their financial targets and conventional department stores fade away. New neighborhood centers will pop-up and will incorporate entertainment and dining into the shopping experience. The fastest growth will take place in developing retail markets, including China and India. Barriers to global trade will buckle as restrictions on foreign retailer operations are phased out.
In 2015, retailers and suppliers will be held to higher standards around the world. Concern about the planet and its people will be an integral part of mainstream consumer demand. Rising levels of government involvement, omnipresence of news media, increasing watchdog groups and advancements in technology will all have an affect on how retailers operate in 2015.
"Most of the technology trends anticipated for 2015 are already in progress today," says Tom Rubel, President, TNS Retail Forward. "With the advent of falling technology costs, widespread availability and adoption of devices, consumers will be able to access content on-demand, including information on the source of the product, along with gaining access to peer reviews of a product or service before purchasing it."
As a result of these anticipated economic drivers, the PricewaterhouseCoopers report also predicts 15 trends that will redefine the business environment in 2015. Examples include:
* Downsizing: The current trend of sustainability will drive the downsizing of products, packaging, resource consumption and waste as more people look to smaller, more personalized products .
* Share of Life Retailing: Retailers will no longer define themselves by the products they sell, but by the customers they serve. Retailers will position themselves as one-stop purveyors of lifestyles.
* Multi-Channeling: Traditional storefronts will increasingly co-exist with a growing array of multi-channel platforms, which include catalogs, pop-up stores, virtual stores and retailers partnering with service offers, such as spa packages and hotel deals.
* Supplier Competition: Supplier-retailer relationships will not only be increasingly collaborative but also increasingly competitive. More suppliers will work vertically with retailers to create unique brand and product offerings.
* Triple Bottom Line Scorecard: Definitions of corporate success will change by 2015, with increased focus on the environmental and social performance of a company.
"Given the change factors and the predicted trends, the next growth phase for retailers will be about segmentation and localization," says Rubel. "The best way to define this trend is through the term 'glocalization:' retailers will need to serve customers across major geographic, cultural, legislative and regulatory boundaries, all while catering to local tastes, traditions, lifestyles and economies."
Glocalization will stand as a major challenge for retailers, as they attempt to manage the complexity and diversity of businesses that will span the globe while reaching out to a local, niche consumer. However, substantial improvements in customer databases will help retailers and suppliers understand their customer base in order to conduct business in a total customer-centric manner.
"To be successful in 2015, retailers will need to understand and identify with their customers and be innovative by keeping on top of trends while managing complexities that the future will bring," explains Maxwell. "Retailers, along with their customers, will be more demanding, more global, more diverse, and will operate across more channels than ever before. That being said, retailers should be proactive in addressing these challenges now."

Natural Marketing Institute Comments on Male Personal Care Trend
The Natural Marketing Institute (NMI), a leading provider of strategic consulting, consumer insights and market research services for the health, wellness and sustainability marketplace, today expanded on one of the key trends it has identified as having a significant impact in 2007 and beyond.
Men's personal care is the fastest growing segment in the bath and body care category. In part driven by the massification of metrosexuals, the most critical aspect of this trend has been the growth of a youth culture which places increasing social and media pressure on men to be young, fit and well groomed. The job market is flooded with aging Boomer men who are striving to maintain their competitive advantage through greater investment in their personal appearance. The culmination of these factors is driving market expansion across generations and giving men a new-found permission to participate fully in the category. Interest in having natural, organic and eco elements to their personal care products (not just in the foods that they eat) and the prevalence of these products in mainstream retail environments is also leading more men to the category.
According to Linda Povey, a Vice President of Strategic Consulting at NMI, "More men are gaining exposure to the personal care category as a direct result of their participation as primary grocery shoppers. Men's role as the primary grocery shopper has almost doubled from 26% in 1999 to 41% in 2006, allowing them greater access and interaction with products and brands."
Because of this shift, look for men to become increasingly accommodated in traditionally female environments such as grocery, drug and specialty retail. The challenge will be for retailers to understand how men shop, representing a unique opportunity in effectively marketing and merchandising to them versus women.

Marty Clark turtle pattern
Posted by Gwen De Fazio on December 25, 20010 at 23:13:59:
I am looking for a pattern for a turtle with a removable shell. It is crocheted. I used to have the pattern many years ago and made them for my children. Now my children are having children and they want me to make a turtle for the babies. I no longer have the pattern and can not seem to find one. I have about one month to go before my daughter gives birth and that is the only thing she is asking me to make. Can any one help me. The turtle was in a Quick and Easy Crochet book and it was made in baby colors and had a shell that was removable.

Just turned 36...
Another year has glided by at Poppies. No special celebrations this time, other than Birthday Cakes and 'Babi Guling' (roast suckling pig, with Balinese spices) for management and staff.
We would like to thank all our supporters who helped to make 2008 our best year since pre Bali Bomb 2001. We all hope that many of you will still be able to visit Bali during 2009, despite the world's looming economic woes. As during previous downturns, Bali, and specifically Poppies, should prove excellent value for money, especially for short-haul travellers. Our 2009 rates have been held at almost the same level as 2008, and the Bali Great Escape package during low season remains as attractive as ever.
