Angered Yemeni protestors assault US Embassy
A group of protesters have stormed in the US Embassy in the Yemen capital, Sanaa, after being angered by an anti-Islam low-budget film produced in the US called "Innocence of Muslims".
They defied attempts by police who opened fire on them to hold them at bay.
A number of them have been reported injured.
Last Tuesday, the US Ambassador to Libya was shot dead in a fire started after the US consulate in Benghazi was also assaulted.
Clashes have also erupted in Egyptian capital, Cairo, with police using tear gas against the crowd protesting outside the US embassy situated in the country.

Raafat Kamal, the field secretary and assistant to the president of the Trans European Division, has been nominated to serve as the new president of the Division in a meeting of the Division Executive Committee with General Conference President Ted N.C. Wilson. The nomination goes to the July 10 meeting of the General Conference Administrative Committee for approval.
UPDATED May 8 with festival organizer's comments.
Looking back at SONscreen 2014, some of the filmmakers who attended from around the US reflect on the Adventist film festival.
This presentation concludes the Advent Movement series at the Azure Hills Church in Grand Terrace, CA. Ron Osborn considers Adventists' changing attitudes on military involvement.
The Azure Hills Church in Grand Terrace California has been hosting a multi-part series on Adventist history entitled "The Advent Movement: Progress or Regress?" In the video below, USC adjunct professor of Politics and International Relations, Ronald Osborn, addresses Adventists' changing attitude on military involvement from strident anti-war non-combatancy to a much more lax attitude.

In a helpful document that gathers the recent motions and actions of conferences and unions across the North American Division (NAD) as well as General Conference actions, the NAD Communication Department has published the first official report on the current women's ordination discussion. While individual union and conferences have posted and published reports of their local actions, the NAD report is the first one to bring together all of the actions.
Martin Weber, D.Min. — Director of Communication, Mid-America Union Conference
Elder Dan Jackson has brought an unprecedented quality of leadership to North America, in my opinion: visionary, inspiring, courageous and compassionate. Thus I am saddened by his apology that accompanied the reversal of Policy E-60 related to women in leadership. To quote: ". . . We were doing so under the assumption that the North American Division had a constituency separate and distinct from the General Conference. Unfortunately, we were wrong and we sincerely apologize."
Dr. Jan Paulsen, former Seventh-day Adventist world church President, has been appointed Commander of the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit by King Harald V of Norway. In the announcement released to the media February 2, the Royal Palace states that "H. M. The King has appointed Jan Paulsen Commander of the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit for meritorious work for the good of humanity."
For Pastor Paulsen, 77, the news came as a "complete surprise."
The following was sent to the La Sierra University community:
The Office of the Provost is pleased to announce that Dr. Carol Bradfield has accepted an appointment as the Interim Vice President for Advancement at La Sierra University.
ATLANTA: Today the Seventh-day Adventist Church held its first press conference of the 59th General Conference Session.
On May 23, an anonymously-created website, LaSierraUniversity.net appeared attacking the school for paying biology professors who teach "naturalistic evolution." Featuring letters that have been circulating around cyberspace to church leaders as well as responses from La Sierra University President Randal Wisbey, the site documents the latest in a long series of heated clashes over the role of the academy in the mission of the church as well as the intellectual responsibilities of teachers.

Farmstead Table: Farm to Table in Newton
Atmosphere: Crisp. Everything here screams fresh. Walls painted in a soothing soft gray are adorned with simple decoration. Chairs are painted in a vibrant green to add color without shocking. There is also something relaxing about the space. Perhaps it's the colors, or more likely, it's the staff. Everyone is working hard, yet poised to make it seem effortless.
Menu: Changes according to what's fresh, be it daily or a couple of times a week. The focused menu is simple and offers something for everyone.
(This was the menu on one night – it will change!)
Bar: A small four-seat bar houses local beers, impressive wines and some local spirits.
Gin fans will be delighted to see Grand Ten behind the bar, and a cocktail on the menu with it. St Germain brings out the herbal notes while the grapefruit adds just enough tart to compliment the sweetness of the St. Germain.
If you are a fan of Roxbury-based Bully Boy, try their White Whiskey Old-Fashioned. Although not the menu, this rendition takes a classic and makes slight alterations to highlight the white whiskey.
White Whiskey Old-Fashioned
Appetizers are in the $8-12 range, with offerings that also change with availability. The Calamari salad on our first visit really hit the mark, substituting traditional fried calamari with a more "naked" version which I always find refreshing. This dish was perfectly done and I cannot wait to see something similar return to the menu.
On our second visit with Meghan and Eric, we ordered the House Cured Salmon Lox Toast (pickled shallots, dill creme fraiche, baby greens) for the table. The portion was large enough to split among four and still provide a reasonably-sized bite for everyone. Here, the dill creme fraiche really works with the salmon, and thick toast provides a fun base for all the ingredients. We decided to order two salads for the table as well. Again, portions were large enough for sharing (but small enough to not ruin your dinner). The summer vegetable salad was filled with crisp, fresh vegetables including cucumber, corn, tomato and beets. The vinaigrette is light, providing only a hint of flavor and letting the fresh veggies speak for themselves. As the tomato season comes to a close, Chef Chad Burns is making the most of the remaining crop with a beautiful tomato salad, topped with blue cheese and sprinkled with bacon.
Marinated Summer Vegetable Salad; lemon viniagrette, garden herbs, pickled shallots
Heirloom Tomato Salad; shaved sweet onion, great hill blue cheese, bacon viniagrette
Moving on to entrees, the chicken is pan-seared to leave a crisp on the skin, while the tender breast is remains juicy. The parsnip purée is creamy in texture, rich in flavor but won't leave you with that stick-to-your-runs feeling. Baby vegetables are simple and well prepared. Of course Jon had to try this dish on our first visit and I'm sure it will become a favorite.
Roast Free-Range Chicken; parsnip puree, baby vegetables, thyme natural jus
When we were told the high quality of the steak, Jon knew he would have to try it. A thick cut is perfectly cooked with a light demi glaze that only heightens the natural flavor of the meat. Served atop a potato purée of similar preparation to the parsnip, Chef raises the concept of mashed potatoes to the next level.
Delmonico Steak; potato puree, native beans, red wine reduction
I ordered the duck on our first visit. This beautiful dish really thrives in the seasoning of the duck and the simple accompaniments.
Roast Duck Breast; braised peaches, bok choy, baby new potatoes
While Eric went with the same Delmonico steak, Meghan order the Day-Boat Fish which consisted of three large scallops served over a medley of corn and potatoes. The plate was beautiful, the scallops had a perfect sear. (Read her review here.)
Cape Ann CSF Day-Boat Fish
And last, but certainly not least, I've had the chance to try two different vegetarian dishes. Even though I am a lover of all things meat, I have been intrigued by the Vegetarian listing on Chef's menu ever since they opened. Pesto risotto with fresh mushrooms and garlic were enough to convince me to give it a try, and I think I'm hooked. On our next visit, Chef was so excited about his eggplant dish that his enthusiasm was contagious and I ordered it without hesitation. Again, it did not disappoint. The eggplant was so light, perfectly paired with heirloom tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. Both of these dishes had me thinking I could be a very happy vegetarian (and that's saying a lot).
Vegetarian; locally-grown farm-fresh vegetables, uniquely prepared each day
(Pesto Risotto)
(Eggplant, Heirloom Tomato, Mozzarella)
Our dinner with Meghan and Eric concluded with the Baked Chocolate Pudding, which our server mentioned during our entree course took twenty minutes to bake and arrived in just about that amount of time. This dessert was a big hit at the table, each bite having a creamy richness created by Pastry Chef Sharon Burns. While I very much enjoyed this decadent treat, I prefer the Creme Brulee, which is equally delicious and one of the best I've had recently.
Baked Chocolate Pudding
Extra Little Things
The main highlights of a dining experience are often the food and the service. Farmstead Table easily hits the mark in both categories, but sometimes it's the small things that bring an experience from good to excellent. The bread here is made in-house by Pastry Chef Burns and its rustic feel really sets the tone for the meal to follow.
Our dinner server Robin was very knowledgeable with wine and suggested a perfect half-bottle for Meghan and I to split that paired well with both my vegetarian dish and her scallops. On a second visit, even though we were seated at the bar, Robin took the time to recommend a terrific glass of Vidal Blanc for my eggplant dish. That type of dedication to guests, regardless of whether they are serving you or not, goes a long way in my book.
Finally, there's just something about this husband and wife team that offers an honest sincerity. On two of our three visits, Chef Chad made an appearance at our table or stopped by the bar. Chat with this guy for thirty seconds and his passion for food will be obvious. This type of love and dedication are evident in every plate at Farmstead Table, and their willingness to serve local ingredients is one I fully support.
Farmstead Table is located 71 Union St, just across the street from the Newton Centre T stop (green line, D). Dinner is served Tuesday through Sunday and you can make a reservation at (617) 928-6000.
Where have you enjoyed the farm-to-table concept?

No, mike7evans, all people from TN aren't crazy, no matter how our family trees branch, fork, or wreath. Just the paranoid, militia types who build bombs (and bury them for future use), stockpile machine guns & think they're smarter than everyone else who obeys the laws of the land.

Therefore, it is objective... and even the black nursing staff cannot disagree.
Objective means you have HARD DATA. Like videos of everyone.
Your assessment is still subjective. The fact that I can pretty much guess your race confirms the subjectivity of the thought.
- 0Feb 3, '09 by FireStarterRNHard data, Stanley, tells me that the Black underclass is an extremely troubled community, with high rates of unwed motherhood, gang warfare, welfare dependency, etc., living in urban areas that tend to be culturally isolated.
I daresay, the White underclass tends to be more rural, and living in less concentrated neighborhoods that are, as a whole, less violent.
These demographic realities could very well result from historical injustices, but are nevertheless real and will take many years to heal.
- 1Feb 3, '09 by AtheosQuote from FireStarterRNWhere did you go to school? A larger number of black inmates DOESN'T mean a larger percentage of black criminals.

As evidenced by MULTIPLE studies.Hard data, Stanley, tells me that the Black underclass is an extremely troubled community, with high rates of unwed motherhood, gang warfare, welfare dependency, etc., living in urban areas that tend to be culturally isolated.
Let's look at criminal profiles.
Per the FBI...
Serial Killer - Predominantly White Males
Child Molester - Yet again, predominantly white males.
Terrorist (In America) - Young White males are only second to Muslim males yet account for more acts of terrorism.
Violence Related to drugs - Ok, we have one.
The only stat were we have higher rates is in violent crime related to drugs. Overall violent crime is still hands down dominated by whites.
There is no point in even looking at historical trends. We all know how that goes.
I daresay, the White underclass tends to be more rural, and living in less concentrated neighborhoods that are, as a whole, less violent.
[quite]These demographic realities could very well result from historical injustices, but are nevertheless real and will take many years to heal.[/quote]
The point of this wasn't who is more 'criminal.' The point was that people making blanket statements about a race not their own without har data IS quite prejudicial. Thank you for proving my point.
Oh, also, if you look at any one year blacks MAY have a higher percentage. Forget the tree. Let's look at the forest. Black plus ALL OTHER minority crime represents a small percentage of total crime in this country for any period greater than 10 years. Hmmmm....
- 0Feb 4, '09 by feralnostalgiaQuote from FireStarterRNthe injustices aren't just historical. in one of my textbooks (unfortunately one I seem to have misplaced) there was a study done in Michigan in 2003.These demographic realities could very well result from historical injustices, but are nevertheless real and will take many years to heal.
they sent a bunch of guys in dressed identically, with identical (fake) resumes. all the guys were coached and had good people skills and were clean and well dressed and such. they had half the white guys and half the black guys turn in resumes where they admitted to doing 18 months in prison for cocaine. the results were that white men who admitted to doing prison time for cocaine were still 3% more likely to get a call back for a job than black men with identical qualifications and no criminal record at all. discrimination is very much alive and well.
of course, living in arkansas I don't need statistics to tell me racism is by no means dead. the 20 something year old friend I went out with saturday had a cross burned in her yard while she was a teenager. "historical" feels like a serious misnomer.
still, the historical stuff shouldn't be discounted. the fact our public school system is based on property tax and the black community was systematically robbed of the primary source of wealth accumulation for all americans (home equity, see redlining) means the field will still be unequal for a long time. even if racism died today, whites would still have vastly more accumulated wealth than blacks who worked just as hard or harder.
you might want to look at how they sentence drug crimes too. more than two thirds of cocaine users overall are white. cocaine comes in crack and powder form...82% of crack cocaine users are black. the penalty for the variety of the drug with majority black users (even though most users overall are white) is, I **** you not, 100 times worse than the penalty for the powder form more popular with white users. the same drug, but the law is literally 100 times more strict on the variety with more black users. let's not even get started on the overt racism in the application of the death penalty (though the majority of the civilized world has abolished it entirely, so that it's racist on top of being barbaric and ineffective is something of a moot point).Last edit by feralnostalgia on Feb 4, '09
- 0Feb 4, '09 by Equinox_93I usually say something like (with sincere sounding tone and body language) "I know you may not realize it- but such comments could be viewed as offensive by some. Everyone around here can hear you, and if a complaint is made you could be risking your job." It's always been nipped in the bud and comes off like I'm trying to help cover their hindquarters.

Airlines For America Says Senate-Passed Budget Hikes TSA Passenger Tax, Adds Insult To Injury For Airlines And Customers
WASHINGTON, March 23, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Airlines for America (A4A), the industry trade organization for the leading U.S. airlines, today expressed strong opposition to a provision within the Senate-passed budget resolution, which immediately doubles, and eventually triples the TSA passenger security tax on the backs of the airlines, passengers and shippers, who collectively paid a record $2.3 billion in TSA taxes and fees last year and already pay more than their fair share of federal aviation taxes.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111201/DC15444LOGO )
"Airlines and their passengers paid nearly $19 billion in federal taxes last year alone, and today roughly $61 of a typical $300 roundtrip ticket goes straight to Washington in federal taxes," said A4A President and CEO Nicholas E. Calio. "TSA's budget has increased 18 percent since 2007 while the number of passengers carried by U.S. airlines fell 4 percent. We believe there is opportunity to achieve greater efficiencies – without greater taxes – and we look to further partner with TSA and the Administration on expanding risk-based security options that improve safety, security and efficiency."
The budget resolution passed by the Senate doubles the TSA passenger security tax to $5 per one-way trip, and triples the tax to $7.50 per one-way trip by 2017, costing airlines and their customers $2.5 billion annually over the next ten years. A4A believes full implementation of programs that take a risk-based approach to security, such as TSA PreCheck for passengers and Known Crewmember for pilots and flight attendants will enhance security and screening efficiency and are a more appropriate way to help drive down TSA operating costs.ABOUT A4A Annually, commercial aviation helps drive more than $1 trillion in U.S. economic activity and more than 10 million U.S. jobs. A4A airline members and their affiliates transport more than 90 percent of all U.S. airline passenger and cargo traffic. America needs a cohesive National Airline Policy that will support the integral role the nation's airlines play in connecting people and goods globally, spur the nation's economic growth and create more high-paying jobs.

We're here to tell you about the latest and greatest that Klim has to offer. Taking a note from the Adventure Rally Jacket, Klim has gone to the next level to bring the new and improved Adventure Rally Air Jacket. Now more adaptable, breathable and indestructible than before; the Adventure Rally Air Jacket is designed for all weather conditions in any season. Most notably, it is built to withstand the heat making it more than suitable for hot riding conditions all over the world. Let's take a look at the construction that gives way to its functionality.
- heavy duty Kevlar mesh with Superfabric overlays gives ultra ventilation and ultra tear and abrasion resistance
- adjustable internal harness disburses weight evenly and reduces overall heat
- shoulder, elbow and back padding is bomb proof and absorbs impact energy
- D30 Xergo shoulder and elbow pads offer protection across extreme temperature whilst remaining flexible and breathable
- D30 Viper Pro back pad is the ultimate D30 back protector with breathable and flexible Airwave Technology
- ample cargo space includes a hydration compartment with a 3L bladder, a side hip compartment with easy access while riding and a lower back compartment.
With all the spectacular features that the Adventure Rally Air Jacket boasts, there's one more that is worth mentioning. While this jacket is optimal in very hot weather conditions, it is adaptable to colder temperatures or evening riding simply by throwing on the Klim Gore-Tex Over-Shell Jacket. Despite the name, the Over-Shell Jacket is small, compact and portable enough for daily storage. The Gore-Tex construction is a three layer fabric that creates a water and wind-proof barrier backed by a GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY waterproof and breathable layer. There is also various reflective panels for increased night time visibility.
Klim continues to set the bar with both the Adventure Rally Air and the Gore-Tex Over-Shell Jackets. The Adventure Rally Air alone is a superb jacket, but with the Gore-Tex Over-Shell it is a truly superior jacket for all riders in all conditions.

As I look more around the site I will add exchange of massage would be great! Most weekends and evenings, San Jose, CA. I can host but note my lover will be here. This is not a problem for us, we tend to be nude around the condo most of the time. Please email for now but as I get to know the site I will likely post my phone number.
Also, if anyone knows great sites for planing conditioning and weight work please let me know!

What is up with masseurs not returning phone calls or emails? You would think that if it is their primary business they would at least response to inquiries. It is very frustrating when you request information and they won't even get back to you.

Most men want to know how to give a great hand job, but did you know that by giving him a lingam massage you're not only giving him ample pleasure, you're also advancing his inner health, revitalizing his whole body while giving him a mind blowing spiritual experience?
Sounds like a pretty fancy way to give a hand job but lingam massage is no ordinary sex practice. This sensual couples massage is an age old M4M Tantric practice, derived from the Kama Sutra, an…

The human body has a tremendous capacity to experience pleasure through its 5 senses: sight, sound, smell, taste and above all touch.
Touch is said to be food for our Souls, and the tactile experience is essential for the development of a happy and fulfilled human being. In fact, a huge part of our brain is dedicated to the sensory and tactile department. Lack of touch hardens us and makes us tense.
Touch is the primary sense we develop. For a newborn baby, touch is the…

Buon appetito - or not
This commercial cracks me up every time I see it. It features one of the chefs for Italy's national soccer team proposing "pane e Nutella" as the cornerstone of a healthy breakfast. Looks like they've got quite the gourmet operation there to feed Italy's campioni del mondo (world champions) yet they can't even whip up a proper breakfast?
Now I'll admit that I'm not a big fan of the highly processed hazelnut spread (the gourmet kinds with interesting flavors, such as chili pepper and ginger are another story, however), so you won't find me slathering it on bread in the mornings. But it seems that gazillions of Italian schoolchildren head off for a busy day of studies fueled on by the stuff. I'd hate to be the teacher in charge when they all start to come down from the collective sugar high.
Let me get this straight: we are meant to start the day with junk food and then (per the recommendation of one of the Italian government ministers) skip lunch altogether. I guess one is supposed to get by until dinner on caffè then?

Nutella is also making commercials with the german soccer team.
Even though the testimonials are actual players.
I wonder if they do this in every country.

Interestingly, my students all claim to detest the stuff. I, on the other hand, am a big fan. In England, I wouldn't DREAM of having chocolate for breakfast, but for some reason it seems OK here.

Have a happy Thanksgiving and
good luck with all the paperwork involved in your move. My husband applied for a green card at the time of our move and the paperwork involved wasn't easy - topped with the fact that no 1 US consulate or embassy did the whole procedure(we moved in Jan 2006 so things might have changed since then)

Hang in there, Michelle, I spent every spare moment of the last THREE MONTHS months before moving Europe to Australia physically sorting and shifting STUFF! Not paperwork, the material items, be prepared.

Nutella IS NOT junk food. Nutella is a way of life.
Chia (with a squirming baby on her knees who will be fed with nutella per merenda as her mama was --and none of us is fat or ill, anzi...;)

That ad makes me laugh too. There is nothing healthy about Nutella. And to think that Italians bad mouth an American breakfast.
- November 26, 2009 at 2:30:00 PM GMT+1
Well the best thing about Nutella to me is that it often comes in jars reusable as drinking glasses. We don't generally eat it, but i bought some the other week which we have yet to open, as my daughter wanted the jar (it has disney cartoons on it). The advertising is funny though 'skim milk' and 'healthy nuts' on the wrapper but when you look at the ingredients - hmmm sugar first, then vegetable oil, nuts next at a paltry 13% then chocolate etc. Funny how Italians rave on about it then slag off peanut butter as the worst 'food' ever imaginable....
What annoys me are the olympic champions (who should know better!) promoting all that absolute junk kinder snacks etc under the guise of healthy breakfast foods for kids, and the cereals full of chocolate and sugar at wildy inflated prices. YUCK!
Good luck with all your paper chasing! Vanessa

Yeah it is funny how they promote junk like nutella or kinder snacks as 'healthy' food for kids because they're 'full of milk." Why can't Italian kids just drink a glass or bottle of milk instead? Or maybe eat some cheese or plain yoghurt? I also would worry that nutella is full of trans fats (not to mention sugar!)
We do feed nutella to our B&B guests though (with other options such as peanut butter and jam) and it's amazing how quickly it vanishes! People love it.

They're also running ads in the US saying it is a wholesome way to start the day. I don't mind a cornetto with Nutella filling every now and then, but I never pretend it's wholesome! (Of course, bacon and eggs aren't exactly a light and healthy meal, either!)
- November 28, 2009 at 11:17:00 PM GMT+1
I can't stand it but my picky 5 year old loves it so I am going to pretend that it is highly nutritious!

- Michellanea said...
Yep, no Wheaties for them!
Must be part of a larger advertising campaign.
Maybe it's just me, but I've never liked sweets for breakfast. I see it as dessert food.
Sounds like not much has changed - I'm doing the Rome-to-Naples shuffle! Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving!
I'm sooo not prepared. I keep saying "But we don't have anything but the clothes on our backs!" It's really not true but we aren't planning on taking any furniture. We aren't packrats, though we do have a few things accumulated here of sentimental value. Boh. We shall see...
I know, I know. Nutella is to Italian kids what peanut butter is to American kids (different taste, different uses but same nostalgia for it). I think just like with peanut butter, you can buy the healthy kind and you can buy the kind with all the additives and preservatives in it. When I'm in the U.S. now, I pretty much only buy all-natural peanut butter and can't stomach the processed stuff. Same with Nutella for me. But I still wouldn't eat it for breakfast.
I think the American approach to breakfast is better IN THEORY ("It's the most important meal of the day. Eat a balanced breakfast.") In practice, many Americans don't seem to follow that. What I find weird here is that I've been told repeatedly here things like "Kids need sugar for breakfast. It gives them energy." I find that really odd. Though you might see Americans eating Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast (gross - too sugary for me), I don't think anyone would try to say they were having a healthy breakfast because it was full of sugar.
Yes, the jars do make good glasses. And when they have specialty ones, they make good gifts to take home. I gave my soccer-loving niece a specialty jar full of Nutella from when they won the World Cup. Now I don't save them as I'm trying not to accumulate crap!
Again, I think that's the odd approach - trying to pass off Kinder or Nutella as ESSENTIAL breakfast food because it has some (powdered/processed) milk in it and sugar.
It's probably just me and my not being able to tolerate sugar in the morning but I could never hack a cornetto. I once found a place that sold brioche salate with fennel seeds on top. They were amazing. It's true that bacon, eggs, potatoes and toast do not make for a healthy breakfast (unless you are going out to work the fields or some kind manual labor where you will burn off tons of calories), but most Americans probably only do that on Saturdays and Sundays as a kind of brunch. At least that is how it was in my family. Most Americans probably know that is not healthy, and would not say that, say, an Egg McMuffin was a great, healthy breakfast. Or would they? Maybe I'm out of touch!
I wouldn't say I can't stand it. It's fine but I would eat it as a dessert and not at breakfast time. Though if I'm going to splurge on the calories, I'd sooner go for dark chocolate or something else I like better. I've worked so hard to get (most of) the baby weight off, that I'm certainly not going to blow it on Nutella.

- Michellanea said...
Just for the record, I eat cereal for breakfast - usually Corn Flakes, Weetabix or Special K. Sometimes in the winter I'll eat oatmeal. If I'm especially hungry, I'll add a banana in there, but that's almost even too sweet for me. I really can't hack sweets usually until about noon.

Boundaries necessary to prevent costly and painful affairs
David and Marva Coombs
Many people give in to the temptation to look past their spouses and notice others who appear more interesting, more attractive, more responsive to their needs, more willing to listen, more empathic, more understanding and even more in need of their love. Most of us think this would never happen to us because of our determination to keep our marital vows.
However, the reality is that adultery happens too often and to those who believed it could not happen to them. And it is devastating to everyone involved. But there is an easy solution: people can establish boundaries that make it clear that they are not available for any inappropriate relationships. By doing so, they protect themselves from liaisons that may jeopardize their marriages. Here are some suggestions gleaned from my counseling practice that may help couples avoid being unfaithful to their spouses.
Dress modestly; avoid clothing and styles that are provocative and that say, "I'm available; I'm looking." Dismiss inappropriate and lustful thoughts and avoid anything that feeds them.
Limit the amount of time spent alone with anyone of the opposite sex who is not your spouse: i.e. don't share rides to work or to church; don't go on errands or to lunch, lectures or social activities with persons of the opposite sex. Don't share intimate details regarding your personal lives. Don't give or receive personal compliments, personal gifts or special favors that may be mis-interpreted.
Men cross lines when they tell their lovely, attractive co-workers, "My wife doesn't understand me. She's not as sensitive to my needs as you are. She doesn't take care of herself as well as you do." Not only is this an unfair comparison to wives who may be stay-at-home moms, but it is an invitation that can lead to chaos and heart break.
Husbands also cross lines when they try to rescue female associates in trouble. Men can refer these women to helping agencies. They should never go to a woman's home to help out or to fix a few things alone.
These situations may be reversed and apply to women as well to men.
Some greet people with hugs and kisses. Such greetings can be appropriate; however, some are too intimate and generate uncomfortable feelings. All of us must use caution and block any such greetings that seem to go to far.
All people like approval, validation and acceptance by others, but if this desire is too strong, it can lead insecure people to want everyone to think they are especially attractive. Those going through mid-life crises may be particularly vulnerable because they wonder if they are still desirable. Some flirt and make comments with sexual innuendoes yet believe they are impervious to any consequences. This is a mistake; there are always consequences.
Pride interferes with sound thinking. Whenever people think they are exceptions to the rules, they have crossed lines; they are in danger. Rules are simply boundaries that keep us safe. That bears repeating: rules (some known as commandments) are simply boundaries that keep us safe.
Those with their boundaries firmly in place are spared the pain, embarrassment, remorse and possibly divorce caused by infidelity.

Wideout Johnny Knox is "on schedule" in his recovery. | Nam Y. Huh~AP
Updated: April 28, 2012 8:15AM
PALM BEACH, Fla. — As Johnny Knox continues his rehab, Bears president Ted Phillips is among those at Halas Hall hoping for the receiver's speedy recovery.
"The reality is, we love Johnny Knox, and we're rooting for him, and we're hoping he can get back," Phillips told the Sun-Times on Monday. "And as soon as he gets back, we hope to have the ability to give him an opportunity to earn his spot back because he's meant a lot to us."
Earlier Monday, the Chicago Tribune reported that Knox was scheduled to start the season on the physically unable to perform list, citing multiple sources, and that there was a "strong chance" the receiver wouldn't play at all in 2012.
Knox has a daunting challenge before him, since he required surgery to stabilize a vertebra in his back after a horrific hit in a 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Dec. 18 at Soldier Field. If placed on the P.U.P. list, Knox could return after the first six games of the regular season.
But his agent, Marc Lillibridge, reiterated on Monday what he told the Sun-Times last month: Knox has had no setbacks, and he's aiming to play in 2012.
"We are six months away from that decision," Lillibridge said Monday.
On his Twitter account, Lillibridge said Knox is "on schedule" and said there's "no validity" to any questions about his client's status for 2012.
"We don't have to make a decision now," Phillips said. "We're going to let him rehab, and then we'll take a look at training camp and see how the offseason is going then make a decision at that point."
Not that they would rush Knox back, but the Bears added to their depth at receiver by trading for three-time Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall and signing Eric Weems as an unrestricted free agent.
The Bears traded two third-round picks to the Miami Dolphins to acquire Marshall.
A longtime Dolphins season-ticket holder told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel about a recent conversation in which Dolphins owner Stephen Ross told him that his team was going to release Marshall, if they couldn't find a trade partner.
"[Ross] said they had been shopping [Marshall] for a couple weeks," Jason Lawrence told the Sun-Sentinel. "Nobody would return their phone calls about getting him. If Chicago didn't take [Marshall] they would have ended up cutting him very shortly after that, and got nothing."
Asked about Lawrence's comments Monday, Ross said, "Brandon Marshall, that's history.
"We want to go on," Ross said. "That's really behind us. It was a trade. He wasn't cut. We feel like we got fair value and the football team is better for it."
So do the Bears.
"Personnel acquisitions are always full of risks, for different reasons, depending on the player and the position," Phillips said. "He's the kind of playmaker we need."


text: Maney Na Yeh Dil - Episode 4 - 2nd October 2011 A spell bounding mixture of extra-marital pleasure, romance, deceit and guilt. Directed by Babar Javed, screenplay by Seema Ghazal and produced by Momina Duraid "Maane Na Yeh Dil" has the same heady mix. The gorgeous and talented Ayesha Khan and the seasoned Faisal Qureshi glide through the various nuances of their roles smoothly, but Faisal Rehman takes the cake as his was the toughest role where he wears glasses along with an innocuous smile and uses his eyes to express love, jealousy and hurt. Wonderfully supported by Deepti Gupta (Zainab) her composure and sultry looks reminds one of Shabana Azmi. The best part about the serial shot mostly in Australia is that even at the most predictable twists in the story, the director takes you by surprise. The title song, beautiful locations and shots, close ups during intense moments, sizzling dialogue and sensitive direction; build up a breathless suspense that you can't take but you can't even move away from. One is tempted to watch it again to savor peak moments.

"I have some thoughts about why cycling photography is doomed to fail. The market is driven by marketing people that don't understand photography, and want the cheesiest shot every time. They want their product to show. Sharp. And thus, photographers aren't incentivized to make "artistic" photos. They are continuously told to provide the cheesiest shot with product focus, versus a real moment. Not to mention team access, and the obsession with heroism. Cyclists MUST look heroic at all times, or else."
It was the last part of his email ("cyclists must look heroic at all times") that got my attention. I think he's right, so I have to ask: have we chosen to forfeit a great deal of humanity in how cycling is depicted, in our quest for heroic imagery and narrative? The hard-as-nails ideal of cyclists enduring endless amount of pain while barely wincing might be attractive to some, but it's a caricature. More importantly, it gets away from the very reality that makes the sport attractive. These are people, and rather frail ones at that, who are competing at a high level and doing some rather amazing things. It's the difficulty of the task at hand, versus their humanity that makes this all worthwhile, isn't it? Give me the frail, the flawed, the mundane...and show me the very moments where riders show just how human they are.
Did we learn anything from seeing riders have to hit the brakes at the apex of a steep uphill switchback because they were going so fast? I hope so.
But when portraying this humanity, don't fetishize it, or we'll be right back where we started. Let's simply remember what first drew us into the sport.
And on that note, I want to leave you with an image that Emiliano Granado actually posted to Instagram last year during the Tour of Utah. Is it the greatest picture—in technical terms—in the history of the sport? No, probably not. It's just a simple picture taken with a phone, but I share it with you to make a point. To me, and maybe I'm insane, this image does far, far more to represent the humanity of a rider like Freddie Rodriguez than most other pictures and bits of text that I've seen about cycling. It was tweeted out with the text, "Fast Freddy just being Dad".
Yes, riders' exploits on the bike are interesting, and will continue to get our attention. But isn't it also worthwhile to show other aspects of the sport, at least to fans who follow the sport closely? After all, what is the reality of being a father when you're a professional cyclist? It may not be glamorous, but it must surely revolve around moments like this: sitting in the hallway of a random hotel, talking to your kids about their day in school, trying not to bother your roommate with your endless talk.
I'm not saying that all cycling photography should be phone snapshots taken in hotel hallways. I just want to point out that this shot, simple and mundane as it may seem, gives us a fair amount of insight into the realities of professional cycling. Particularly in a way that many can relate to. There's certainly both room and need for all kinds of interpretations and depictions of the sport, which is great. I just wish more of them would find a way to put some bit of humanity, however little of it, back into the equation.
Otherwise, we'll miss the point, and once again fail to realize that most human beings simply don't have to hit the brakes when going steeply uphill.
PS: If you've been watching the Volta a Catalunya, and wondering who Nairo Quintana is, please read this post from last year. And remember, he's still only 23 years old.

I had fat transfer on my upper cheeks for 9 cc. each side! Quite a lot. The doctor said he has to put this much because the fat can re-absorb as much as 80%. I'm waiting for 6 months but still ,y cheeks stand out. I want to take it all out since I figure fat cheeks on Asian is too much and ugly.
Is there any way I can dissolve all the fat? I miss my small face. I have a rhinoplastry question too. Where can I send you my pictures? I would be happy to fly to your place after I have an idea what my situations are. I have had 4 rhinoplastries done with Thai surgery doctors and I think some of them lack the ethic nasal anatomy and misunderstood me as an Asian. In which IMy ancestry and I have mixed ethicity .

I Had Another Experience With Hamburger helper......again
Posted by
My family and I really love Hamburger Helper, it is delicious and affordable, being a single parent of two children, Hamburger Helper has been there when I couldn't afford anything else and I love this product but I got a couple box's of my favorite product and went home, and when I went to make it wasn't really much sauce mix, maybe half of what is normally in the package, I had the same problem a few years ago with the pasta in the box. .But I will continue to be a loyal customer of Hamburger Helper we just love it!
I just wanted to bring this to their attention.

Compliment? Complaint?

You can make your own Hamburger Helper at about the same price. It's just as tasty, and healthier too.
bhskittykatt on 06/22/2012:
The title of this review just amuses me...having an "experience" with Hamburger Helper "again"....I don't know, I just find the wording funny.
It sucks, but as food and fuel prices rise a lot of food manufacturers (not just H.Helper) have been gradually cutting back the amounts they put in their packaging and charging the same, hoping consumers don't notice.
I haven't had Hamburger Helper in a while, but they have some pretty tasty varieties. We used to keep a box or two on hand somewhere in the event of a "lazy dinner" night. ...Dang it, now I'm craving some!
trmn8r on 06/22/2012:
I haven't had Hamburger Helper since about 1978, and I don't yet have a yearning for it. Maybe later...
Anyway, if they have cut the contents of the package, that will clearly be visible in the marking on it.
Starlord on 06/25/2012:
We just saw that Hamburger Helper has a bunch of new flavors. With the current state of the economy, I expect the wifey to come home with a box of Baloney Helper. I saw a place once where you could buy Roadkill Helper, obviously a gag item.
DebtorBasher on 06/25/2012:
I love Hamburger Helper, not because of the cheap price (which is nice anyway), but because it's actually very good and quick to make.
I also buy their Tuna Helper, but I substitute the tuna with cut up chicken...in fact, I just had some of that on Saturday and I added some of my own broccoli to it.
trmn8r on 06/25/2012:
I could use some Ice Cream Helper, Cookie Helper, Pizza Helper to stretch things out when I don't have time to get to the store...

What Helper?
Posted by
I purchase Hamburger Helper a lot for my family because its affordable, and I am on a very tight budget... I opened the box and what did I see? No dry mix to add to the pasta....what are your suggestions? I am not sure how to contact the company to express my disappointment? Any suggestions?
This isn't the first time this has happened... The first time was not even a half a bag of pasta in the box!

Usually there's a toll-free number on boxes. I suggest calling and letting them know that there were ingredients missing from the box. They will probably send you a coupon for a new box.
If not, look up the company online (not sure who makes HH) and find a "contact us" link and let them know what happened.
Anonymous on 03/29/2010:
melissa, fishopper has a good suggestion. try this link, scroll down to the bottom and click on *contact us* on the left.you'll then see the option to email, call or send snail mail. http://www.bettycrocker.com/products/hamburger-helper

you also may want to bring it back to the grocery store in question.
many stores will fix the issue themselves without making you have to muddle through the manufacturer's complaint process.
also, they may consider checking the lot # on the box and comparing it with another box on the shelf to see if it's a one-time issue, or if the entire lot is messed up.
this I know because it happened to mom. she bought some cans of regular green beans only to find the can contained french cut. the store thought it was odd at first but they opened another can with the same lot # to verify. Yes, the entire lot had been mislabeled.
email@example.com on 04/09/2010:
I called the store...I didn't have a receipt so there was nothing they could do. I e-mailed the company and called no response!....Is this how they treat their customers? I GUESS.
email@example.com on 04/10/2010:
I just want to think General Mills....they sent me two coupons for two free boxes of Hamburger Helper of my choice and another coupon for 1.00 off of another. thank you for listening to your customer's!. thanks again! a loyal customer of your product.

3-way race with Cable decision
Former selectman says Bridgewater deserves a choice
BRIDGEWATER — Former Selectman Neil A. Cable has announced his intention to run for first selectman, setting up a three-way race in November.
Cable, chairman of the Bridgewater Country Fair, had qualified to appear on the ballot in August after losing to Selectman Curtis S. Read for the Democratic Party's nomination in a 70-29 floor vote at a July caucus. But he postponed an official announcement until after the fair.

My daughter loves 'em, I think it's a bit too warm to be wearing pajamas... All kidding aside: Great product. It's a pity customs screwed me by making me wait a couple of weeks while they searched the package for drugs.. (I'm in the Netherlands, Europe). They didn't find any.. But they did make me pay 20 dollars extra.. "Import-fee", is what they called it. Serves me right for wanting to buy my daughter a new pair of pajamas. Not Superherostuff's fault, but it makes me think twice about ordering again... Stupid bureaucrats.

What did our streets look like in the late 1800s and early to mid-1900s? How have things changed? Take a stroll through Franklin Park history with this photographic tour of our village.
To see larger images of Franklin Park Streets go to our Flickr page and click on the images.
Atlantic Street, 1929. (If you recognize the home on the center left side of the photo, please let us know, so that we can try to identify where on Atlantic this photo was taken.)
A view southwest from the intersection of Belmont and Edgington.
Belmont Avenue looking east from just west of the railroad tracks (near Washington Street).
The intersection of Belmont Avenue, Rose Street, and Pacific Avenue. The photograph is taken from just east of Rose Street, looking west down Pacific Avenue (Belmont Avenue continues on the other side of the railroad tracks).
Chestnut Street east from Atlantic Avenue. This is pre-Passow elementary school, when Hester Jr. High was called Main School (Main School would be near the center right hand side of the photo where the fence is).
The intersection of Dora Street and Lesser Street (Maybe someone will recognize the homes in the photo and let us know which direction the view is...).
An early view of Mannheim Road. We are looking north of Franklin Avenue. Bosenberg's store is in the center-left of the photograph.
This is another view of earlyMannheim Road looking south. The Zimmerman home (on the left hand side of the photo) was on the northeast corner of Gage and Mannheim.
Franklin Avenue -- looking west from Rose Street -- looks a little different than today. Vacant lots, absence of some buildings and differences in existing buildings. Notice the dirt road, absence of street lights (except the fixture suspended over the intersection).
A little more modern view of Franklin Avenue west of Rose Street; you can see our town beginning to emerge. Franklin Avenue is still not paved.
A still more modern view of Franklin Avenue. There is still an absence of some buildings and a few buildings in the photo no longer stand. Street lights and a paved road, however, now exist.
An opposite view of Franklin Avenue from Calwagner Avenue (looking east). Again, the streets are not paved. Notice the beautiful bay windows and turrets which adorn the building on the northeast corner (these have been removed over the years).
A later photograph of Franklin Avenue. This time we are looking west from east of Calwagner Avenue. Franklin is now paved. The turrets have been removed from the building on the northeast corner, however the bay windows are still attached.
Another very early view of Franklin Avenue looking west from approximately Pearl Street. Notice the old water tower, some early shops along the avenue and the hitching post.
This photograph shows Fullerton Avenue where Silvercreek crosses the street (approximately at Ruby Street). Obviously it was taken after a rainstorm where there was probably some flooding in the area; note the discarded rolls of carpeting lying on Fullerton.
We are looking north along Grand Avenue from just south of Mannheim Road. On the northwest corner the Grand Manor Restaurant is shown. On the northeast corner is a picnic grove.
The Grand Avenue bridge that crosses the Des Plaines River into River Grove, IL. This was a time when the water in the river was a lot cleaner. (note the people wading in the river).
When Grand Avenue was a little narrower. The view is looking west down Grand Avenue from approximately Edgington Street.
This photograph was taken in 1949, although it is a typical scene that could have been today or yesterday. It is looking east on Grand from east of Emerson Street.
A view of Grand Avenue looking west from Rose Street. Do you remember the A.& P.? How about Peter's Pizzeria? You can see the signs for each of them near the center of the photograph.
Another view of Grand Avenue looking west from Scott Street. This shows another time in Franklin Park's history. Notice the Sunset Arms Hotel and the Kroeger Foodstore (neither of which still exists). Also, notice how barren the land is west of Kroeger.
A very early forerunner of the current Mannheim bridge. In front of Fritz Pfundt's store (on Franklin Avenue just east of the bridge) a horse and carriage awaits its owner.
We are now on Mannheim Road approaching the bridge. The date is 1948. The problem is, we are not sure which direction we are on Mannheim Road. If anyone recognizes any of the buildings, please let us know.
The view is north along Mannheim Road from near Chestnut Street. This is pre-hotel days. Do you remember the Aragon Kennels?
It's rainy season again in Franklin Park. This photo is looking north along Hawthorne Street from the 2600 block.
This photo is from pre-pool days. We are looking west along Pacific Avenue from Calwagner Avenue (the Franklin Park Pool would be on the southwest corner).
Pacific Avenue near Dora Street before curbs were put in.
Park Avenue looking west from Willow Street. Notice that Park Avenue is still a dirt road with a lot of empty lots surrounding it.
Rose Street entering Franklin Park. If you recognize any of the homes, let us know. We can then determine a little more precisely where on Rose Street this photo was taken.
Looking down on Rose Street with Minneapolis Street running up from the center of the photo. The Franklin Park hotel is on the southwest corner of Rose and Minneapolis. In the very bottom right corner of the photo is Franklin Avenue. Notice the southwest corner of Franklin Avenue and Rose Street is a vacant lot, with the exception of the small building located near Rose Street. The cupola on the the top of the Puglia building has not been removed (southeast corner of Franklin and Rose).
The intersection of Rose Street, Pacific Avenue, and Belmont Avenue. Rose Street runs across the bottom of the photograph. Pacific Avenue is near the center left of the picture. Belmont Ave would enter on the right hand side of the photograph if the field of vision were a little greater.
We are now on the south side of the railroad tracks where Ruby Street, Pacific Avenue, and Belmont Avenue intersect. Across the bottom of the photograph is Ruby Street. The right side of the photo shows Pacific Avenue looking west from Ruby Street. The left side of the photo shows Belmont Avenue looking west from Ruby Street.
When Scott Street and Fullerton Avenue were dirt roads. Fullerton Avenue runs across the center of the photo from the left side to the right side. From just beneath Fullerton, on the right side, crossing over and just above Fullerton Avenue, on the left side of the photo, is Scott Street.
Although many people may assume that Rose Street was one of the first paved roads in Franklin Park, the first two paved streets in Franklin Park were actually Franklin Avenue and Edgington Street.
The intersection of Sarah Street and Lesser Street. Does anyone recognize any of the homes in the photograph, so we can determine which direction the view is from?
Across the bottom of the photograph is Franklin Avenue. From the center-bottom of the photo toward the left-center of the photograph, between the rows of trees, is Washington Street. Aug Linn tavern is in the bottom right corner of the photograph and Dr. Burke's home can be seen in the distance, down Washington Street.
