Great light
By happy light from san luis obispo, ca on Sep 05, 2011
Bargain Hunter, Stylish
This light is so much more then I expected. I have a traditional house, however my style is coastal contemporary. Trying to blend this together felt impossible. However, this light was able to blend my house style, with my overall decorating taste. It is definately lacking on instructions of where to put the strands of shells and glass beads. However, I found it was simple if you laid them out based on the letter they are wrapped in. The long ones hand in the center. The next longest hand alternating on the center ring. And the short ones hang on the outer.The fixture itself is more brown then black for certain, this suited me. I have 14 ft ceilings and there was plenty of chain and wire, in fact extra.Comes with extra parts, which will be nice to have for just in case.Over all the perfect transitional light. My husband is cheap, and he is constantly telling me how much he likes the light. I keep saying even for the price? He says" I don't know that I'ld pay more but I think it is a great buy, for the price we paid!" Seriously, I have never heard this out of his mouth! The light speaks volumes to get that kind of ongoing compliment from my husband.

When it comes to cleaning your carpet, you have a choice between hiring a professional or doing it yourself. There are many benefits to hiring someone over using something on your own. It is a great idea to look at all the methods and decide what is right for you.
When you use a professional, your carpets will get cleaner than doing it yourself. The company will use different chemicals and have a more expensive machine. They also are used to doing carpets all of the time, you are not. This will make them more of an expert than you are.
When it comes to your carpets, you probably want them to look nice. Walking into a home with stains on the carpet doesn't look good. Beyond that, you want your carpets to be clean.
When you do the carpets yourself, you might be able to get the stains up but it will never be as clean as it would be if you used a professional service. If how clean your carpets really are is important to you,use a professional.
Another great thing about not doing the carpets yourself is that you don't have to take the time to do it. You can save that time and spend it working on other projects in your home. You don't have to put the manpower into it. (Naperville, IL Carpet Cleaner)
You can hire a company, they will come and clean the carpets and you are good to go. You won't have to worry about cleaning anything, making sure it works well and everything that comes with it. Use a Carpet Cleaning Professional In Los Angeles.
In the end you will pay more for a professional but it will be worth it. Between the results and how much time you will save, it is the way to get the carpets done. It really is the best choice.

I remember the last time I went to AOL's website.
1996 was a good year.

Verizon is a pitiful and sad place to be no question. People are definitely capable of deciding what they want on the smartphones they pay for monthly. Verizon is THE WORST CARRIER in the country with it's stupid wifi notifications, internal alterations of devices, comical outer cosmetic changes which border on childish graffiti branding, and PISS POOR overall ability to update handsets. Its definitely ashame people actually pay for that kind of carrier every month.

While I definitely agree with a lot of your points here, RIch, it has to be said that part of the reason why Verizon is so popular is because of their almost ubiquitous coverage. There are huge swaths of rural America that have no choice but to sign with Verizon simply because they can't get a decent signal from the other Big 3. It's their biggest advantage. That being said, I can't understand why anyone would choose Verizon over Sprint or T-Mobile if they live in an area where the service is comparable & don't venture out much.

AOL? Part of Time Warner (Bros), ran by ex MSFT's, yet loyal employees, (like Nokia and Amazon are) AOL that owns many news websites that are biased against Android, owns CNN, HBO and many many other cable channels, jacking up and throttling your HS internet while offering insane prices, using their leverage to raise DirecTv and Dish Network channels? They are going to give people something no one is asking for from the hidden Goliath that is AOL? Sweet. Sign me up for another unremovable app...oh wait..is that a Nexus?

I have to thank AOL as it introduced me to the world on online porn when I was 12.
8. TheMan (Posts: 424; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
I certainly hope this "exclusive" isn't "restrictive" -- we users hate these things (I'm ignoring Apple here). Remember when Microsoft paid a fortune to VZW shoving Bing down the throats of those choosing the wrong Android phone?http://www.phonearena.com/news
I can't forget how many asked, "Why would I want Bing (search) on my Google phone?
Anyway, these exclusives usually benefit VZW cashflow most and little else.

Pointless move for Big Red.... AOL has been bleeding customers for the last 10+ years, it's like buying a ship with holes in the bottom of it.
That said, if an AOL icon appears in my Android menu, heads will ROLL.

OBEY Freedom Skull T-Shirt 2 2
Very Soft I really like this top. That being said I want to say that the description should be read carefully. It states a "sleeveless t shirt" which is entirely accurate, but I thought it would be more of a tank top fit. It literally is a cut off t-shirt, and a tank top should be worn underneath to cover your goodies. November 7, 2014
Obey This shirt has a very casual feel while still looking good. Not just an old t-shirt with the arm holes cut out. For me, obey runs slightly larger, so I was able to go down one size. Good purchase. August 3, 2013

Ux·malgeographical name \üsh-ˈmäl, üs-\
Definition of UXMAL
site of ancient Mayan city SE Mexico in W Yucatán
Uxmal(Concise Encyclopedia)
Ancient city, Yucatán state, southeastern Mexico. It was the chief city of the later Mayan empire (c. AD 600–900). After c. 1000, major construction in the city ceased, although it continued to be occupied and was a participant in the political League of Mayapán. When the league ended, Uxmal, like the other great cities of the north, was abandoned (c. 1450). Mayan ruins include a pyramid, a palace, and a quadrangle.

Tie Guan Yin is the most famous tea bush in Anxi City, which lies in Fujian Province. "Tie" meaning "iron", refers to the density of this tightly twisted tea or its dark oxidized color. It is a common Chinese habit to describe heavy objects with this term. "Guan Yin" is the name of the Buddhist bodhisattva of compassion who, according to legend, appeared in a dream of Wei Yin, a devout Buddhist tea farmer living during the early 18th century. In the dream, Guan Yin told Wei Yin to look in the cave behind the local shrine. There he found a single tea shoot, which he planted and cultivated into the mother bush for Anxi city's most famous variety of tea. Tea from this legendary cultivar of tea bush has since been known as Tie Guan Yin.
Although wulong tea made from Tie Guan Yin tea bushes has long been popular, the style in which it is produced has changed considerably over the years. With the introduction of Taiwanese processing techniques in the mid 1990s and rising popularity of lighter roasted and less oxidized teas during this decade, the finished leaf of Tie Guan Yin has shifted in appearance from dark brown, flat and leafy to light green and tightly rolled.
Our Old Style Tie Guan Yin is, in part, a throw back to the way this tea was produced before the beginning of this century. The "Old Style", professionally referred to as "Long Xiang Xing" or "concentrated aroma style", makes good use of medium to heavy oxidation and charcoal roasting in contrast to the newer, greener and lighter roasted "Qing Xiang Xing" or "light aroma style." The processing involves 3 to 4 periods of roasting, totaling about 15 hours. This technique creates a stable tea with a balanced roasted flavor immediately noticeable on the first infusion. It is said that "real" wulong fans in China appreciate this stronger roasted flavor. Although this tea doesn't retain the traditional flat shape of Long Xiang Xing, it offers a stunning example of Tie Guan Yin's classic flavor profile.
With its style becoming something of a rarity on the Anxi market, we like to think of this tea as a bit of a tribute to the old school and the seasoned tea drinker who remembers the days when this tea's rich body and aftertaste were higher prized than a flowery aroma.

I've had this before, it's actually not bad as colas go. Still got one can unopened as a novelty.

Ubuntu is a registered trademark of Canonical Ltd. I'm fairly sure they'd be unhappy about it being used to sell cola...
More important what sort of publicity is Canonical going to end up with if they decide to go after a Fairtrade cola, which isn't really competing with them in any way or benefiting from their work (aside from the occasional geeks who might pick up a pack of Ubuntu cola)?
So, for example, I could release a brand new type of mini-sponge which is especially soft and call it a Microsoft sponge without worrying about trademark infringement - unless Microsoft decided to go into the sponge-making business.
I don't really see much for them to get upset about here.
According to the Urban Dictionary, ubuntu is also an African phrase meaning "humanity towards others".
We shop with Ocado and I'll order this next time to see what it tastes like.
Yes it meant this long before Canonical hijacked it for their OS. If they tried to sue a judge would throw it out as Cola and Software are not closely related so there is no chance of confusion.
If they wanted to be really adventurous they could even come to some sort of deal for Fairtrade to promote Ubuntu (sensible enough in a way), and Ubuntu to sell the cola through their site.
VW make a Polo and Nestle make Polo's, never any trouble there. And I don't think 'Polo in the Park' is anything to do with cars or mints!

In the coming year, mobile will continue to strengthen its hold on the industry, smart data will outshine big data, and real-time marketing will become an achievable goal.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Here are 10 trends that matter in digital marketing.
Single page designs can be an excellent technique for tackling smaller websites, even those that you might not think could ever be done without multiple pages. There are tons of great reasons for using a single page site, from ease of maintenance to reduced bandwidth needs.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Great tips for one-page website design.
The semiconductor industry has been able to weather the fallout from the global financial crisis and realize several years of healthy growth—in part because of the widespread adoption of smartphones and tablets, which created demand for mobile and wireless applications. The industry's average annual growth rate between 2010 and 2013 was about 5 percent. Could the same sort of growth result from widespread adoption of the Internet of Things? Many semiconductor players have been asking themselves just this question.
Perhaps one of the earliest and best-known applications of such technology has been in the area of energy optimization: sensors deployed across the electricity grid can help utilities remotely monitor energy usage and adjust generation and distribution flows to account for peak times and downtimes. But applications are also being introduced in a number of other industries. Some insurance companies, for example, now offer plans that require drivers to install a sensor in their cars, allowing insurers to base premiums on actual driving behavior rather than projections.
And physicians can use the information collected from wireless sensors in their patients' homes to improve their management of chronic diseases. Through continuous monitoring rather than periodic testing, physicians could reduce their treatment costs by between 10 and 20 percent, according to McKinsey Global Institute research—billions of dollars could be saved in the care of congestive heart failure alone....

Good overview of Internet of Things trends
Consumers are using their phones to research, check product reviews, look up product information and, in some cases, make a purchase from their phone, based on a new report.

Reviews are playing a major role in the consumer decision making model. They provide information about your business for your customers while helping boost your local SEO in the process. With the access of countless online reviews and commentary on social media networks consumers are now more informed, connected, and empowered than ever before.
Our objective for this post is to break down the 5 steps in the consumer decision making model to discuss the impact of online reviews and strategies you can implement to encourage potential customers to choose your business with their purchases....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Here's a look at the impact of online reviews on social marketing.
The key finding: Holiday shoppers are increasingly seeking out gift ideas on social – and they're relying less and less on traditional channels.
Nearly two-thirds of holiday shoppers say they use social to find gift inspiration (up 25% year-over-year), while those who say they lean on traditional media (like TV commercials and magazine ads) fell 22% from 2013.
Shoppers say Facebook is the most influential platform when it comes to holiday purchases: 59% of consumers cited Facebook as having the most influence on their purchases in 2014 – up 51% year-over-year.
Peer recommendations on social media continue to influence gift purchases more so than other types of recommendations and endorsements.
Nearly 70% of respondents said social content and commentary about brands and/or products from their peers influence their purchases most – a figure that's more than 6X higher than those who said celebrity endorsements on TV carry the most weight (11%)...

Valuable social media research provides marketers with social marketing insight.
The emerging social platforms we're considering fit into two key categories: 1) social commerce platforms, which includes sites like Wanelo, Polyvore and Fancy, and 2) emerging visual sharing platforms, such as Snapchat, Instagram and Vine.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Useful guidelines on how and whether to use emerging social media channels for your marketing.
The main point of the piece is that tablets aren't exactly the "one-click" wonders we expect them to be. Few, if any customers sit down with a tablet, go right to the product they want and buy it with a single tap. I can hear you rolling your eyes and sighing. . . 'well, of course not' but there are mobile apps that let you can buy just that easily – Amazon, eBay, any site that takes Apple Pay...
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Great insight into mobile buyers using tablets.
We continue our special posts with the best data viz related content of the year, with a useful list of new tools and resources that were made available throughout 2014.

Basically, content marketing is the art of communicating with your customers and prospects without selling. It is non-interruption marketing. Instead of pitching your products or services, you are delivering information that makes your buyer more intelligent. The essence of this content strategy is the belief that if we, as businesses, deliver consistent, ongoing valuable information to buyers, they ultimately reward us with their business and loyalty. Nowadays people also look for the facts and useful information about the products and services that they find interesting instead of ads.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Useful guide to content marketing and SEO.

There's significant momentum for publishers toward increasing the production of video content, on account of both the strength of video as a medium for storytelling and high video CPMs as advertisers begin to move their TV spends online (see the Chicago Tribune's coverage for one example). An increase in video content across the board, of course, means that it's all the more important that we have a sense of which parts of our audience we can hope to reach with video. To that end, below is a brief survey of the state of online audiences and their consumption of video.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
This is an excellent look at video consumption with some valuable lessons for social marketers and PR pros.

Jeff Domansky's insight:
Good journalism reading!
rodrick rajive lal's curator insight, December 21, 10:31 PM
This is an interesting collection of views and predictions regarding the future of journalism in the year 2015, I personally feel that 2015 will see the rise of what is called as, 'Citizen Journalism'. Opinions on social networking sites will affect journalism to a great degree. I hope, also that 2015 will see a more responsible reportage, and an avoidance of sensationalism that seeks to drive readership ratings.
Gone are the days of Pinterest being a virtual cork board for women searching for the perfect outfit.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Here's a quick refresher on social marketing to help you activate your Pinterest results.
Have you ever heard of Maslow's hierarchy of needs? It's a useful concept for sales and marketing to create better connections and relationships with prospects and clients. Abraham Maslow wrote a paper in 1943, "A Theory of Human Motivation" and subsequent book, Motivation and Personality, where he summarized the 5 needs most people search for. The more basic needs are represented at the bottom of the pyramid.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Mazlow would be pleased ;-)
Suspicious Web traffic in the U.S. rose 36% sequentially in the third quarter of 2014, and bot traffic grew by 35%. Data released Friday identifies 55% of the traffic on retail sites as suspicious with 34% of traffic confirmed as bot. The data defines "suspicious" as non-human behavior.

Beyond crafting and cooking, Pinterest is also one of the top resources for shopping this holiday season.

The Mode Playbook is the start of our effort to find out. Each Playbook report includes a SQL query and a visualization. They're built on top of an example users table and event stream—a data structure that's common in many companies. Because users can represent customers, accounts, or users, and events can be logins, purchases, clicks, screen views, or any combination of actions, each Playbook is designed to be flexible enough to fit many different businesses and products. If you have a SQL database with these two concepts, you can make a few simple changes to the reports we provide and have access to the same set of analytical tools we've built over the last year.

well the same is happening with Central America they want to join together as a union to compete in the global market with USA!!!
Lol, good.Originally Posted by ketaro
Since I don't believe either group would attack the other some "friendly" world competition could be a good thing.
Mind you I have also heard one of the reasons some people are pushing for the EU etc is just that, to compete with the US.
well the same is happening with Central America they want to join together as a union to compete in the global market with USA!!!
As long as this union doesn't grow into a new soviet union deal, I could care less if all of those smaller european countries bound together. It would definately boost their economy if they are together, I can see why the governments would want to join together in that perspective.
I don't think we'll need to worry about becoming commies anytime soon Dark.Originally Posted by Dark.
It is clear that when you work for years for a Constitution that will try to please everyone in a group of 25 countries, each with their history and personality, you will have to make sacrifices. It would be useless to write a Constitution for an Union if every single country part of that Union would retain the entirety of their powers and sovereignty, and it would be terrible if some would retain their powers while others would not (this is a problem when influencing countries such as France do not wish to lose any power in Union, saying that they have a chair in the UN Council and have always given more money than many other countries to the EU, while they have to make sacrifices in order to be part of an Union. If you watched French TV discussions on the subject, this was a big argument for the No.). So if no one wants to dissolve sovereignty, I don't understand why they would want a EU in the first place, say a Constitution...Originally Posted by Arrianna
The current major reason (given by many polls and statistics) for the No in both France and the Netherlands is made by people who want the Constitution to be "more social", a minor reason is that which you heard, that it would destroy some country's sovereignty (mostly the argument of nationalists), which I explained was inevitable if you wanted to be part of a group.
Maybe the first question should be then, What is the EU?Originally Posted by Vaines
Is it just a trade federation?
Or is the creation of a Constitution the first step in creating a larger government over the participating countries?
I know I keep repeating myself but I'm very curious. I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want to give up their soverignty. One of the big reasons the USA was created was over the right to a jury of your peers. An international judicial system would seem to me to remove that at the whim of those who do not have the same background or culture.
It's even more curious because some of the participating nations are extremely chauvinistic...Originally Posted by Arrianna
The roots of the European Union were mostly dug firmly into the ground in response to repeated destruction (after two world wars we kinda had our fill with war) and the need to have economic power.
They have no power individually. They do have power together though....

Now I didn't choose to attend UE because of the weather...if I had I'd be in warm and sunny place like Texas. I didn't choose UE because of the bustling city - seeing as I'm from the Chicago suburbs - Evansville doesn't quite compare. I chose UE because of the academic programs offered and the opportunities for career preparation.

Because when you have to learn how to cook for yourself, it's helpful to have some support in the process.
I may be considered a better PR representative if I told you that the first time I stepped on campus I knew UE was the place for me. That as I looked around I knew I'd spend the next few years here, and that day the grass seemed greener, the sky bluer, and the squirrels fatter.
This semester has started off with a lot of firsts...and as nerve-racking or as awkward as it may be to do something new, it also stirs up a rush that comes with doing something for the first time. Our sophomore athletic training class made a basketball team for IMs and our first game this past Thursday was the first basketball game in years, or for some people, ever!
Brr! It's cold outside! Even though the high yesterday was a tropical 54 degrees, we are returning to the north pole today and tomorrow! When dealing with unpredictable weather, I always like to use some life lessons from my favorite movies.
As anyone who has set foot on campus this past couple weeks can see, this is a hectic time of the semester. Papers, projects, finals run rampant. While it's extremely important to take these seriously, though, you have to take some time off, if only to stay sane. Otherwise you'll find yourself muttering snippets of the periodic table or reciting a litany of the theories of major literary critics under your breath, even when you aren't studying, looking insane in the so doing. And possibly going insane, at that. While you can have a lot of fun even in your dorm or apartment (hello, baking cookies and watching Disney movies!), sometimes it's nice to get off campus for a while, even if only for an hour. See something other than college students pulling their hair out, for once. Of course, there are plenty of things to do in Evansville…but many of them can be kind of expensive. Here are four things you can do for less than $10, to help you stay sane and relaxed during the dreaded Finals Week:
Last week, UE celebrated International Education Week, which included student presentations about study abroad experiences, 30-minute language capsules, and my favorite--the International Bazaar.
I had a lot of fun working the Alumni Relations booth at University of Evansville Homecoming 2013! Check out their facebook page to see more fun photos from the photo booth! https://www.facebook.com/UEalumni
Fall is my favorite season and in my opinion the best time to be at UE. Here are few things that college students can do (budget friendly) to enjoy it!
Back home I don't have cable, but here at school I enjoy the wonderful distraction of cable tv. As much as I probably complained about not having cable as a kid, I've begun to go back on that opinion after having cable here at school. Yes, it's possible I'm the one weirdo that doesn't want cable, but then again I think I've got a few solid reasons:

Christina Aguilera wears see through clothes again
I could swear this site used to be funny. Oh well.
We'll all make sure to try much harder for you moving forward, Courtney.
Nice try. (?)
OHHHHHH Zanna?
#148 – Are you fucking high? GOD, I hate you!
Where are the new posts?!? I'm tired of looking at Xtina!
Anyway She probably just washed the piece of cloth too much it wore out and became translucent.
Aw, don't sell yourself short, biatcho my love. I wasn't referring to the commentators per se, as the pety infighting tends to be much funnier than the original posts.
But I appreciate your dedication to trying harder to make me happy, it means the world to me <3
Poor Britney…her nemesis has clearly beat her in popularity, attractiveness, and simply having her life together. It must really hurt looking at all the online photos of Xtina looking hot.
I love this dirty slut.
Does she still sing songs? It seems like all she does just walks around in skimpy tight clothing giving me a hardon.
ok, she's bangin' hot and can def. pull off any outfit. LOVE THE SHOES!
Said it once and I'll say it a million times…Skank-A-Licious.
Man I'd hit that…hard and often!
Hey, at least she's wearing something in it. Though, I kinda miss her boobs. I'm a woman and I can't help but think she's hot.
Fuck you, Angelina Jolie.
@162 what's your beef with Angelina Jolie? well i think i can sum up your resentment in one word J E A L O U S Y!
i love her so much
I'm really gonna hope that it wasn't see through until the camera bulbs flashed. But if not, shame on her! What a sad example to show your child. Yes, the human body is a beautiful thing we should not be ashamed of, but that does not mean we should let any and all delight in it.
i actually think she has a nice body. her dress sense on the other hand is a whole different issue

Hi All,
|Mon, 08-01-2011 - 9:01pm
She has her own dog business. She can stay with the dog at the place of where the dog lives, or she can check up on the dog and go from there. Thats why she told me to let her know what I want so she knows how to charge me.
|Mon, 08-01-2011 - 8:59pm
|Mon, 08-01-2011 - 8:57pm
No I will not continue to help to pick up my cousin. Im all done with that.
|Mon, 08-01-2011 - 8:56pm
|Mon, 08-01-2011 - 8:54pm
I have already done that. I also told her how I felt and I didnt think it was right. Which we she say she was sorry. She also said, that if I decide to have her watch my dog then she would be glady to do it. Interesting! Dont you think?
|Mon, 08-01-2011 - 7:30pm
I agree with elc11 that it might be a good idea to sit down and have an honest talk with your cousin.
|Mon, 08-01-2011 - 3:25pm
You're right that its not fair and it sounds like she has been taking advantage of your generosity. Sometimes people are so self-absorbed that they don't realize that they are supposed to return favors. Maybe its time to have an honest talk with her and tell her straight up that you're surprised that she expects payment for this favor because you have done XYZ to help her out. (does she pay you for gas when you drive around her daughter, do their shopping, etc?) That gives her a chance to recognize and appreciate your efforts and remember that she needs to reciprocate. By her response you will know if you ought to reconsider how much help you will give her in the future.
|Mon, 08-01-2011 - 1:11pm
Where would the dog stay?
Regardless, her response sounded pretty heartless.
Are you going to keep continuing to pick up your cousin, and help them out?
|Mon, 08-01-2011 - 11:43am
"Perhaps it is time to scale back on the assistance you provide to them."

SL Green Expanding Times Square Retail Footprint
SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:SLG) today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 719 Seventh Avenue for $41.1 million. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2014.
The property, situated on the southeast corner of 48th Street and Seventh Avenue, features premier visibility looking north from the center of the Times Square bowtie as well as south from 52nd down the Avenue. It is also on the same block as the recently announced Marriott Edition hotel that is currently under construction. The site can accommodate a building up to 28,114 square feet in addition to highly coveted LED signage towers, akin to those SL Green has constructed at 1551-1555 Broadway, 1515 Broadway and most recently at 1552-1560 Broadway. SL Green intends to demolish the building in due course in order to take full advantage of the development rights.
This acquisition will further increase the size of SL Green's retail property portfolio, which features substantial interests along New York City's primary retail corridors. Recent investments include the retail space at 650 Fifth Avenue, 121 Greene Street, 115 Spring Street, and 131-137 Spring Street.
SL Green Managing Director, Brett Herschenfeld, said, "Times Square continues to evolve into a dynamic retail and commercial destination. We have made several timely and well-placed investments in the submarket, and in doing so, have substantially contributed to the area's evolution. We've built flagships for Aeropostale, American Eagle, and Express, while also substantially changing the sights and sounds of the area with cutting edge LED signage at each site. With this acquisition, our participation and impact in the expanding retail district of Times Square continues."Mr. Herschenfeld continued, "719 Seventh Avenue is a great addition to our expanding retail footprint and we are excited to grow our presence in Times Square, the official Crossroads of the World. We believe this acquisition once again demonstrates SL Green's ability to identify unique, value-add, off-market transactions as well as utilize our extensive relationships within the New York Real estate community."

Chronic unemployment is putting many couples' marital vows to the test -- particularly the part that refers to "for richer, for poorer."
With far less money coming in each month, many families have been forced to cut back, borrow money from family and friends and maybe even drain their savings. And then there is the toll that joblessness is taking on their relationships.
Even Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, expressed concern in March for the ranks of the long-term unemployed, or those out of work for six months or more. Not only do their bank accounts suffer, he noted, but so do their future earnings potential, their health and the prospects for their children. So it's not surprising that several marital therapists report that more couples are filing into their offices -- when they can afford to -- to try to work through their problems.
Maggie Baker, a psychologist in the Philadelphia area who focuses on money issues, said the husband in a couple she recently met with had been unemployed for more than a year. And while his wife was initially supportive, she had started to feel the burden of supporting the family on her own.
"She is watching her husband shrivel and feel ashamed and humiliated, yet unable to do anything because he's lost his motivation," Baker said. "When it goes on seemingly forever, that is when people begin to wear. Then it feels like a permanent change, and a permanent change to the negative, and people react very strongly to that."
In situations like these, certain patterns often emerge. The unemployed partner begins to feel discouraged and withdraws, no longer sharing what he or she is doing to find work. And, eventually, that makes the working partner feel as if the spouse isn't doing enough. Communication breaks down, and resentments build -- at the very moment they need to hold each other up.
"When anybody is tired or under stress, they will always revert to their oldest primitive survival mode, which is usually dysfunctional," said Olivia Mellan, a money coach, author and therapist. Even couples with similar philosophies about money, she said, will find something to disagree about in this situation.
While money has been a perennial source of marital spats, there are several strategies and exercises that can help people cope through tougher times, both financially and emotionally. Several are highlighted below.
Take control
To replace your fears with a sense of increased control and confidence, a method practiced by Judy Haselton, a financial planner in New York who has been trained at the Sudden Money Institute, which helps people deal with big changes in their financial situations.
The first step is to simply acknowledge to one another that you're both under stress. Next, you should both identify your fears and make a list of immediate financial threats, possible threats and what's unlikely -- this will help guide more rational thinking. Then, sort the list by what can be controlled (spending less by using only cash, for instance), what can be managed (perhaps finding a credit card with a lower interest rate) and what should be monitored (like the amount of money you are bringing in each month).
Share responsibility
Thomas Faupl, a licensed marriage and family therapist in San Francisco, suggests that couples create an emergency budget that will help prepare for the longer term, strip down expenses to the essentials and reevaluate what's really important to the family. "Many times, it's not about the money but the quality of the relationship," he added. "By revisiting what is most important to them as a couple and a family, that will help them get through the dark days."
Set communication routines
When resentments fester, even greeting your spouse can become a chore. But establishing a communication routine can help you remain connected, even if you aren't feeling particularly amorous. That means saying good morning and good night, greeting each other when you enter and leave the house, and sharing a compliment a day.
Argue productively
You're probably going to argue, so you might as well make it a productive exercise. Most fights that couples have are recycled, said Laurie Puhn, a couples mediator and author, because they never reached a solution during the first go-round. So try to resolve the issue. Don't speak in the abstract ("The job interview didn't go well.") but instead focus on specifics ("I don't feel that I made a strong impression."). The fight should end with a something to do, or a preventive plan for the future. "A good fight carefully walks away from the past and looks at what you should do the next time," Puhn said.
Date nights
Try to come up with creative things to do that cost little or no money, Mellan suggested, so you can get out of the house and talk about things that are not job- or money-related. Maybe you can ask friends to watch your children, in exchange for watching theirs another night. And remember the importance of nonverbal communication -- eye contact, hand holding -- which can also help couples remain connected, she said. "And those things are free."

Hundreds rallied Saturday outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Manhattan to call on President Barack Obama to expand protections to undocumented immigrants. NY1's Erin Clarke filed the following report.
With their voices raised in unison in front of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building, one group stood with others across the country in a national day of action to say 2 million, the record number of deportations that the Obama administration is set to soon hit, is too many.
"Their family loses their contributions, and also, they're just separated from their children," said Nadia Marin-Molina, workers' rights coordinator at the National Day Laborers Organizing Network. "Sometimes, the children are born here in the United States. They lose their father, their mother."
They want the president to stop what they say is a dehumanizing process by expanding immigrant protections of the Deferred Action Program created in 2012.
Currently, it grants people who came to America as children and meet certain guidelines the opportunity to live and work here for two years while they are becoming citizens.
"Expand it to include everyone," Marin-Molina said. "So rather than just limiting it to a small group who came when they were children, he could expand that for everybody who would qualify, for example, under one of the federal pieces of legislation."
While immigration reform is an issue often thought exclusive to the Latino community, the group said they came out Saturday to show it affects everyone, like Ravi Ragvir, who spent two years in immigration detention and is currently fighting deportation to Trinidad and Tobago.
"When I was in Alabama, which housed about 250 to 300 immigrants, over 57 countries were represented in that small space," Ragvir said.
Ragvir was one of many at the rally who is not Hispanic. Members of the human rights group Adhikaar, which represents the Nepali-speaking community, stood with those of Pakistani decent and other nationalities.
"We are here to show our solidarity because we are the, we are from Asia and Nepali-speaking, which just means Nepal, Bhutan, Burma and Tibet," said Namrata Pradahn, a member of Adhikaar.
Together, they say enough is enough and are demanding federal immigration laws change.
