DD for me today.
I have a super-busy day, and my daughter is going away for a long weekend, so I don't have to worry about dinner for her.
I will have decaf coffee with milk later this morning, for about 40 calories.
There's a Mexican restaurant near me that posts calorie counts for all items on the menu. I'm going to go there tonight and order something that's no more than 500 calories. I'm allowing for a margin of error, since portion sizes vary; my goal is to stay under 600 calories.
Happy JUDDDing, everyone!

Way too much time on my hands!
I've been interested in your JUDDDD way of eating after reading some of the journal entries by Pooticus!
I am going to try a Down Day today, sorta' to see what it's like, :blush: and wanted to run these food choices by you folks to get your responses.
I do eat at a somewhat higher carbohydrate level than many (most) at LCF, but I do watch calories. Just seems to work a whole lot better for me in my 'older' age. Plus I love the fruits and veggies so much.. must have been a vegetarian in a past life or something.
The following menu will result in a 42% protein, 36% carbohydrate, and 22% fat ratio for the day, and will bring me very close to or nicely over in almost all of the nutrient needs for the day: (I weigh and measure my foods)
midday: 1st meal: salad
1 cup spinach leaves (7)
1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded (8)
4 oz. chopped Roma tomato (20)
5 oz. chopped (peeled) cucumber (17)
1 whole egg, hard boiled, chopped (72)
2 eggs, whites only, hard boiled, chopped (34)
2 Tbsp. my light Italian dressing (35)
dinner: last meal: stir fry w/chicken over ground yam cake
3 oz. broccoli florets (29)
5 oz. green pepper, chunks (28)
4 oz. onion, chunks (36)
2 oz. carrot, diagonal slice (23)
4 oz. mushrooms, sliced thick (25)
3 oz. chicken breast, meat only (137)
4.2 oz. Konnyaku yam cake, ground (15)
1 Tbsp. oyster sauce (5)
1 Tbsp. soy sauce (10)
calorie total: 501 (all calorie counts from ******, except for bottled dressing, oyster & soy sauces, and yam cake, where I used manufacturer info.
Will this be OK? I'm off to shop for ingredients, so will find out when I return if I am understanding the requirements for this first day.
ETA: OH! Forgot to add, 2 or 3 mugs of hot black tea in the morning, 2 quarts of iced tea, black, throughout the rest of the day, and water too. Am wondering about this, as I wonder about the teabags. (I use only three PG Tips bags for the entire day's amount of tea drinking...)

SoHappy, I'm curious about the yam cake. What's that?
Welcome to JUDDD!
Way too much time on my hands!
You know the *miracle noodles* stuff? Konjac or Kannyaki are two other names I've seen them sold under. Also called Shirataki noodles.
These products are made from some Asian plant part, a so called 'yam' (whatever the heck THAT plant is..) It certainly isn't the yam from Africa what is like the sweet potato. Sometimes the yam paste is combined with tofu and made into those noodles too. I read about this stuff once, buy don't remember it all.
But the yam cake is just a solid block of the stuff they make the noodles out of. It's just a big ol' solid rubbery block. You can slice it or dice it however you want.
I've always found the noodles to be very akin to chewing on rubber bands! Almost no flavor of their own, and you just chew and chew and chew and then swallow them whole. LOL They're pretty filling and add almost no calories or carbs, so are something that we grasp at to fill a need, I guess.
Back when I watched carb intake a lot more than I do now, I wanted something to replace the pasta/rice component in some recipes while adding almost no calories/carbs. I was looking for something that could act, basically, as just 'filler'. I ground up some of this stuff in a hand operated, old fashioned meat grinder, and the ground up yam cake turned into little pieces that could be mostly disguised with the other ingredients. And because these little pieces were already pretty small, they went down easily. LOL
I thought it worked great then, and will only be using it now when I do Down Days. This will add a bit more bulk to my tummy while not using up many of my allotted calories for a DD.

OK.. reporting my menu for my 2nd Down Day.
Midday Meal - 1st meal: BIG bowl of thick soup
1/2 can Chicken Noodle soup concentrate (88)
1/2 can water (0)
2 oz. celery, chopped (9)
2 oz. mushrooms, chopped (12)
1 oz. onion, chopped (9)
1 tsp. dried parsley flakes (1)
4.2 oz. Konnyaku yam cake, ground (15)
Evening Meal - 2nd meal: This makes a big meal
7 oz. tilapia fish, 2 fillets (191)
1 wedges fresh lemon (3)
1 cup green beans (60)
1 cup spinach leaves (7)
1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded (8)
4 oz. chopped Roma tomato (20)
5 oz. chopped (peeled) cucumber (17)
2 Tbsp. my light Italian dressing (35)
Calorie Total: 475
I don't think it will take too long for me to be used to this calorie level for Down Days. I often don't eat breakfast anyway as I don't feel much appetite until the later morning.
I'm trying to plan DD menus to be fairly filling but still quite low on calories, and then I'm making copies of them so I don't have to keep figuring them out!!! I suppose it doesn't take too long before you have a pretty decent collection of very low calorie meals gathered and you can get the meals put together in a jiffy.
Off to fix another mug of lovely hot tea. Right now I'm loving my PG Tips that I found at a little import shop in Denver when I visited there. What teas have the rest of you found that are fabulous? (Coffee with cream on Up Days! )
ETA: Oh! I forgot to report that I'm a pound lighter this morning. Assume it's water weight, but I got something to shift already. LOL

Your menu sounds yummy, SoHappy!
Tea, glorious tea! Let me wander over to the cupboard...
I love:
Good Earth brand: Green Tea w/ lemongrass; Organic Green Tea w/ mango, peach & pineapple; Organic Jasmine Blossom Green Tea; Organic Apricot Ginger Black Tea; Original and Caffeine-Free Original Herb Tea (good both hot & iced)
Tazo brand: Zen Green Tea w/ lemongrass & spearmint
Bigelow brand: Orange & Spice herb tea
Trader Joe's brand: Organic Mint Melange
Celestial Seasonings brand: True Blueberry; Cranberry Apple Zinger; Cinnamon Apple Spice; Wild Berry Zinger (all of these are good both hot & iced)
Nile Valley brand: Hibiscus Tea (good both hot & iced; reputed to be a natural remedy for high blood pressure)
Heather's Tummy Teas brand: Peppermint Tea; Fennell Tea
Traditional Medicinals brand: Organic Throat Coat; Organic Echinacea Elder
Daily Green Tea brand: Pineapple Ginger Green Tea; Wild Berry Plum Green Tea
Republic of Tea brand: Ginger Peach Red Tea
To name just a few...
Note: If you make cold-brewed iced tea, by just putting tea bags into cool water, be aware that it is only safe if kept in the refrigerator for about 2 days. After that, molds & bacteria & other yuckie things begin to grow.

I'll choose a few at a time of your recommendations to try. I don't usually drink fruit and/or spice-flavored teas, but rather the Irish and English teas and the various greens offered at my local Asian Market. Actually, an Earl Gray is my favorite, but some folks don't like that too much.
But I do have a nice organic White Peach Oolong tea which is very soft and aromatic.
Way too much time on my hands!
Yes, I do make my iced tea like a sun tea. Depending on the strength and flavor of the tea I use, I use from one to three bags and just put them in a quart jar and fill it with water. Then let it sit until the color is where I think it'll be OK.
But I always keep it in the refrigerator, and usually the two quarts I make are gone by the end of the day.
So instead of having a bottle of refrigerated water, I have refrigerated tea. Sometimes DH helps himself to a glass of it too.

DD for me today.
I will fast on water and tea during the day, and have one meal in the evening:
1 C organic chicken broth (20 calories)
Pork Chop with Acorn Squash & Onions (recipe from Betty Crocker 300 Calorie Cookbook) - 2 servings at 220 calories each (440)
Salad greens w/ no calorie dressing (30)
FAGE 0% yogurt (90)
Total: 580 calories
(My DDs are at 600 calories now. So far, it's working for me.)

I had a DD today, too. Feeling a little bit queasy/indigestionish just at this moment, and would sorta like to eat a cracker or two, but I won't. (Interesting that I assume eating something would fix my problem--guess it's clear how I got overweight in the first place....)
Today's menu:
B: 2 slices oroweat lite toast, black coffee, 90
L: lettuce salad with chopped chicken, 200
D: 2 hebrew national ff franks, bag of lite popcorn, 180
GOing to ed early so I can get my mind off my tummy.
Oh, and TOM finally presented himself yesterday, so in another day or two, I'll weigh in and see how things look. But regardless of what I see, I really like eating this way and do believe it's something I can do forever. Somehow, the sparse days allow me to really enjoy the eating days. It's hard to explain, but it just feels good.

Hope you feel better soon, Jessica.
DD for me tomorrow, and I've got a really busy day. My usual teaching day, then a yoga class, then my women's group. Probably won't have dinner until 9 p.m.
If that's what happens, I'll just have oatmeal with walnuts and raisins, & let that be my food for the day. That's an old favorite of mine, comfort food - and really good for my digestion.
1/2 C oatmeal (150 calories)
1/4 C diced walnuts (215)
1/4 C raisins (130)
Total: 495 calories
Plus, as always, lots of water and tea during the day.
Hope everyone has a good start to the week,
Way too much time on my hands!
DD today. I'm trying to finish off leftover bits, so today's menu is pretty odd.
midday meal will be a HUGE salad of mixed lettuces w/chopped red cabbage and carrot (using up almost two bags of this stuff that the kids donated when they came over) AND diced leftover liver with a honey mustard dressing that I concocted with bottled honey mustard base, added yellow mustard, and water. -- I know I'm the only one on the planet who would actually like a salad with liver, and this just cracks me up! But it's pretty good actually.
Then I had a big Granny Smith apple with a big brown soft spot on it, so I peeled and cored it, and I'm having that too.
I'll fix a veggie stir fry for supper this evening, using only the amount of broccoli, green pepper, onion, carrot, and mushrooms that will bring my calories up to about 475, and top with soy sauce.
So I'll be able to keep my cals under my 500 limit.
After a huge Up Day yesterday, I'm only back up .2 of a pound. I thought water weight would have accumulated a lot more than that, so I'm a happy old gal!
Have a great day, Everyone. I'll read your DD menus with interest this evening.

Morning, all. Tummy feels fine this morning, and I slept like a rock.
Up Day for me, and I'm steeling myself to make it a well-chosen one. We had a big football-watching party here Saturday, with all kinds of junk foods, and I don't need another day like that in the same week!
I also intend to get some exercise in, something I've not really given much thought to since starting JUDDD, but I need to get a good exercise habit going now while I still have plenty of light, because I have SAD and I get pretty moody when the days get short. Exercise helps that TREMENDOUSLY.
Have a good one, everyone.

I am not going to get to the yoga class today. I'm still at my desk, grading papers, and it's 5 p.m.
So, a change of plans: I'll go for a walk for at least 30 minutes. Soon as I get through a few more papers.
For my DD dinner, I'll have a salad with protein at a restaurant near my women's group.
Nice signature line, Kelly!

It's an UD for me since DH is home.
Jessica: I hear you about having SAD. If you think you get it bad in OC then come right on up to Portland! I used to love two or three days of rain until I moved here. We are moving back to Las Vegas around Feb./Mar. This isn't working.
Way too much time on my hands!
A DD for me today... finally. Salad and a HB egg for my first (mid-day) meal and veggie stir fry for a second meal this evening. All for 500 calories or less, depending on how skimpy I decide to weigh out the ounces of veggies this evening.
One of the best things I ever did for myself was buy a little POSTAL scale when I decided to sell on Ebay a few years ago!!!!! That thing weighs down to fractions of an ounce and is absolutely perfect to use when I weigh my food portions on DDs!
Off to prepare and portion out today's foods, as I'll be really busy later on. This makes it easy to do my program in a way that works well for me, with foods that I enjoy, even on DDs.
Way too much time on my hands!
Today is another JUDDDD down day, so just two meals and under 500 cals for the day:
1st meal/midday: 4 hard boiled egg halves with the yolk of just one egg turned into deviled stuffing with 1 t low cal mayo, 1 t yellow mustard, & 1 t sweet pickle relish.. so a little stuffing for each of the 4 egg halves
1 80 cal blueberry yogurt
5 oz green pepper chunks, sprinkled with salt
****** cals: 216
2nd meal/evening: stir fry with broccoli chunks, sliced mushrooms, sliced carrot, sliced onion, green pepper, and B/S chicken breast, tossed with some oyster sauce and some soy sauce
measured out so cals are about 250 to 275
total calories for the day: under 500
I absolutely love this plan! While the down days are pretty scant and some of the DDs are a bit harder to adhere to than other DDs days, the reward of not having to worry much on the UDs is fabulous. I've been able to maintain in the short time I've been doing this plan, easily, and even been able to eat some meals I might have felt guilty for previous to doing JUDDDD. What a relief this plan is. So glad to have found it.

Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy
Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy (Paperback)
By Jane Leavy
Usually Ships in 1-5 days
No immortal in the history of baseball retired so young, so well, or so completely as Sandy Koufax. After compiling a remarkable record from 1962 to 1966 that saw him lead the National League in ERA all five years, win three Cy Young awards, and pitch four no-hitters including a perfect game, Koufax essentially disappeared. Save for his induction into the Hall of Fame and occasional appearances at the Dodgers training camp, Koufax has remained unavailable, unassailable, and unsullied, in the process becoming much more than just the best pitcher of his generation. He is the Jewish boy from Brooklyn, who refused to pitch the opening game of the 1965 World Series on Yom Kippur, defining himself as a man who placed faith over fame. This act made him the standard to which Jewish parents still hold their children. Except for his autobiography (published in 1966), Koufax has resolutely avoided talking about himself. But through sheer doggedness that even Koufax came to marvel at, Jane Leavy was able to gain his trust to the point where they talked regularly over the three years Leavy reported her book. With Koufax′s blessing, Leavy interviewed nearly every one of his former teammates, opponents, and friends, and emerged with a portrait of the artist that is as thorough and stylish as was his command on the pitching mound.
About the Author
Jane Leavy is an award-winning former sportswriter and feature writer for the Washington Post. She is the author of Sandy Koufax and the comic novel Squeeze Play, called the best novel ever written about baseball by Entertainment Weekly. She lives in Washington, D.C.
Praise for Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy…
"A baseball classic; the first in-depth reporting on the life and career of the Dodger icon…a must read."
-New York Daily News
"An exhaustively researched study that paints an intriguing portrait of the famously reclusive Dodger pitcher."

Thinking Across Boundaries: Re-Imagining Planning in the Urban Global South
Our Anniversary Conference took place between 2 and 4 July 2014. It was one of the highlights of a year of celebrations marking the DPU's 60 years of education,
training, research, consultancy and knowledge sharing in urban and regional development
policy and planning in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
Over 200 people attended the conference in total, joining a range of speakers drawn from academia, practice and community organisation. The themes of the conference were:
- A future for urban development planning? Thinking across boundaries
- A future for urban development planning? Approaches to urban inequality and informality in cities of the global south
- Participation and contested practices in urban design and planning: rights, needs and urban imaginaries
- Re-imagining socio-environmental trajectories of change: Radical practices and approaches to environmental planning and governance
- Forging new relationships in governance and planning: the state, market and society in a post economic crisis world
- Urban Development and development assistance
- Gender, intersectionality and socially just futures: Planning in an era of social polarisation
- Positioning planning learning in an urbanizing world: the challenge of practitioner formation and the co-production of knowledge
The event also saw the launch of a series of outputs:
- In the build up to the event we release three videos as part of the mini-series Thinking Across Boundaries, Planning Dilemmas in the Urban Global South, which are outputs from the research project of the same name
- To coincide with the start of the event the DPU Reflections Working Paper Series was launched, featuring papers from former DPU staff.
- Sixty Years of Urban Development: A Short History of the Development Planning Unit: The booklet was disseminated and is now available view or download (pdf) online.
- A series of interviews filmed with former DPU staff - Looking Back, Looking Forward - was on display throughout the event [also available online later in the year].
- A poster exhibition, Theses Across Boundaries, presented the work of our current crop of PhD students, and was present throughout the 3 days of the conference.
Further outputs from the conference, such as podcasts and the online availability of several of the above, will be announced later in the summer.

Find out howit works
We have a planfor every budget
Amherst Madison, Distinctive Real Estate, is on the rise. Former Boise State University Football Captain, Firefighter, and Local Businessman, Nick Schlekeway, was named one of the state's "Accomplished Under 40" by Idaho Business Review.
Boise, Idaho, United States / ACCESSWIRE / July 1st, 2014 / Former Boise State University Football Captain and local businessman, Nick Schlekeway, has been named one of the state's "Accomplished Under 40" by the Idaho Business Review. Selected from hundreds of nominees, the recipients at the 15th annual event were publicly recognized for their accomplishments and "On the rise status" in the business community.
"'These young professionals are talented and have risen head and shoulders above others, already proving they are successful in their careers and continuing upward,' said Sean Evans, Vice President and Publisher for Idaho Business Review. 'These are the people shaping our state, our expectations and our future'."
The Idaho Business Review's Accomplished Under 40 event was sponsored by Boise State University's College of Business and Economics. The Dean of the College of Business, Ken Petersen, was a guest speaker at the June 26th Event. "It is important to point out that these members of our community aren't even middle age yet. To be accomplished at this age is quite remarkable. Given these recipients' steep professional trajectories; I hold great hope for their accomplishments over 40!" In Addition, Mr. Petersen, former client of Nick Schlekeway, specifically highlighted him as an example of the type of forward thinking & determined young professionals who would push the Boise, Idaho economy and business community to new heights of achievement.
Mr. Schlekeway is the co-founder of the fastest-growing Residential and Commercial Real Estate Company in the State of Idaho, Amherst Madison. This accomplishment is no surprise to those who know him and have witnessed his previous successes at the highest levels of academics, sports, and public service. In 2007, Boise State University head coach, Chris Petersen, was quoted; "Schlekeway is one of our top leaders. He leads by example every day. He shows up ready to go to work and is extremely intense. If the rest of the guys can become as intense as he is, we are going to win a lot of games."
Mr. Schlekeway was a Team Captain, All Conference Athlete, and Academic All American at Boise State University. After that, he was hired # 1 out of over 1500 applicants to be a full-time firefighter for the City of Boise. As the son of an entrepreneur and commercial contractor, his lifelong desire for business ownership drew him to the real estate industry and in only his second year started designing the brokerage concept that would become Amherst Madison.
Nick now serves on the Boise State Alumni Board of Directors and is heavily involved in local charity work through Amherst Madison's Charity Partner, The Black Door. He also attends, participates, and helps to raise funds for numerous local events/causes including, recently, the Make- A-Wish, Ultimate Urban Challenge event. The Ultimate Urban Challenge is an annual event held in Boise, Idaho for the benefit of Make A Wish Children.
While designed for a national footprint, Amherst Madison is building its momentum locally with offices in Meridian and Eagle with plans to expand to Boise in the near future. Their business model is built on a philosophy of high standards and an intelligent support structure for Agents. Amherst Madison takes traditional brokerage philosophies, such as Agent Mentors and Listing Support, and leverages them with the latest in digital Productivity and Efficiency tools. Amherst Madison operates on a 100% digital platform with all of the one-on-one support that a top producer would expect from a full-service brokerage. Currently, the company is growing at 300% every six months and will likely continue this growth as additional Agents and Brokerage Operators see the benefits of affiliation and alignment with Amherst Madison.

Tron tape commercial delivers epic basement nerd showdown
During the whole Tron Legacy hype, the absence of any brands capitalizing on the social media phenom known as the Tron Guy was conspicuous, but one seemingly mundane brand has remedied this by producing a rather funny ode to the sci-fi franchise.
"Duck Tron" is the name of the video commercial spot featuring the Tron Guy promoting Duck brand duct tape and it hits every note just right. Created by production house Ryactive, the spot drops us into the middle of what appears to be a kind of light cycle race that ends with a hilarious showdown pitting basement nerd against disapproving matriarch. You can check out the video below.

Raw was decent with a few great matches among the likes of Randy Orton-Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston-Dolph Ziggler and Alberto Del Rio-Antonio Cesaro, but madness that was dance contests, tug of war and Domino's filled the rest of the show with nonsense.
Main Event featured a classic Kofi Kingston-Antonio Cesaro match for the United States Championship that deserves to be checked out if you still haven't done so. Also on the show was a pretty good Justin Gabriel-Heath Slater match.
Impact was too much about Sting and without surprise, he bested Matt Morgan in a match to decide the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. It was too much to keep up with and not a lot of it made sense anyway.
Smackdown had a good Ryback-Daniel Bryan match and had a good flow until Creative found ways to kill time by having a one-on-one match transition itself to a triple threat tag match three times over and a dreadful Sheamus-Mark Henry arm-wrestling segment did no favors either. Kane and Dean Ambrose had a good brawl-esque match, but it wasn't enough to salvage a lackluster second hour.
Antonio Cesaro vs. Kofi Kingston (Main Event, 5/1/13)
When Main Event is at its best, it showcases just what the undercard can offer and provides an outlet for them to show their talents as opposed to Raw or Smackdown where they get overshadowed.
The story here was simple: Kingston uncrowned Cesaro from the United States Championship in a great Raw match that ended Cesaro's near seven-month long reign.
Even though Kingston confusingly said he brought the Belt "back home" although he's from Africa, we can all look past that loophole to appreciate the athleticism both men showed in that match.
It seemed almost fitting that the two would face off again soon, as Cesaro had a rematch clause and looked to have it at Main Event.
Cesaro was all business headed in, as he even eliminated his yodeling and was focused purely on gaining back his dignity with the Belt. He needed it.
For Kingston, it was all about keeping the momentum he gained.
Once it hit the ring, they left it all out there in a contest that thrilled many at ringside and even backstage.
One impressive spot involved Cesaro pulling off a Superplex with Kingston on the apron and Cesaro the top rope, almost amazing.
In the end though, it was Kingston who pulled out the win with the Trouble in Paradise to the back of Cesaro's head, but that didn't deter us from what happened in one of the better Main Event encounters to date.
Sheamus and Mark Henry in a Tug of War (Raw, 4/29/13)
When Sheamus first turned face after he was a badass heel upon his debut in WWE that saw him have a WWE Championship reign and a King of the Ring victory, he confronted one of the other monster heels at the time, Mark Henry.
Of course, that was interesting because Sheamus was a newly turned face, but the feud itself was decent in the end.
As always, Henry and Sheamus crossed paths again in 2013 and for some odd reason, it's all about the tests of strength.
Why, instead of just having them battle it out physically, do we need to sit through segments that involved a tug of war on Raw and an armwrestling table on Smackdown?
Simple. Creative doesn't know any other way to tell this story. Poor Sheamus can be charismatic when he wants to be, but he needs a source of motivation and he can't rely on cheesy jokes to carry him through every segment. It just doesn't work and it makes Sheamus look like an irish John Cena to the tee.
Sheamus is at his best when he is his own person and that's what most of his heel stint consisted of. He has become too cheesy as a babyface and needs some of that edge back. Unfortunately, Creative got that message wrong.
Sheamus needlessly attacked Henry at the end of both these segments and the fans were supposed to cheer. Why cheer a face out-heeling a heel instead of just doing the right thing? Who knows, but that's Cretaive's logic, or lack of.

Hi all. I've been reading this board all week. Last weekend I found out my H was having an internet relationship with someone he met playing games online. She lives out of state. We argued and he moved out. I called the girl to ask her how she could do something like this to our family (we have been married 14 yrs and have two children, 11 and 13). Well she tells me that she was told by my H that he had been separated from me for the past year! He made up a whole story that he told her. She apologized several times over telling me she didn't know and would never do that to someone. She then text me later and told me she broke it off with him. She even forwarded me the texts he was sending her pleading her not to leave. We corresponded by text and email a few times because I had lots of questions and she answered them honestly. Like telling me they had phone sex almost every night. Well after thinking about it, I didn't want to lose him and break apart our family. I talked to him about it and told him I want to work things out. We have been taking each other for granted and lost communication throughout the years. He told me he wasn't sure and needed to think. Come to find out, she took him back instead!! I was shocked!! I sent her an email to ask her to step aside so my H and I can try and put our family back together. All she did was send my email to him! He told me today that he choses her over me and it would never work between us. He said we argue to much and doesn't think we could ever fix that. I told him you can't think straight right now because all your thinking about is having a life with her. He's only been with her for 3 months and it's all over the phone and internet. I don't understand how he can toss away all our years together for someone he has only been with for a short period of time. I'm crushed and don't know what to do. I don't want to lose him.

I'm praying things will work out for us, and I think we are headed in the right direction (despite some psychotic episodes on my end). But it's still a long road ahead. By chance, if things took a turn for the worse, I have to say the last thing I want to do is form a relationship with a man! Or a woman either! (It's o.k. for some, but I'm not that way if you know what I mean. Hee hee) I want to focus on ME, MYSELF & I! I want my heart to mend, and enjoy life to the fullest before I would get involved in any relationship again for that matter. Someday, maybe, and I hope I don't travel that route. But just realize you are a strong, beautiful woman with so much to offer this crazy world, and YOU do NOT need a man to make you feel worthy of happiness!
Wish you weren't going through this, because I know how much it hurts. :0(

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Attached is the skeletal version of the Q4 forecast. We need to use this
afternoon to make any comments, identify contradictions or changes,

up. Once done, I will write through it all again tonight to get to the
Writers tomorrow.
Have at it, folks.
The U.S. preparation to disengage from Iraq and Afghanistan will remain
the center of gravity of the international system in the fourth quarter.
In the case of Iraq, this includes working with Iran, or at least coming
to a common understanding, to press forward with the formation of an
Iraqi government To be clear, this means a govt will be formed yes?. In
recent weeks, we have seen signs that Washington and Tehran are reaching
a compromise of sorts, or at least removing their strongest objections,
to allow or encourage the Iraqi factions to settle differences and end
the stalemate in place since the last elections. The United States is
still a long way from leaving Iraq completely, but both Washington and
Tehran want to see the U.S. forces largely out of Iraq, and with
Washington focusing more on Afghanistan, there is room for tacit
understandings on the Iraqi front.It seems to me the key here is SOFA.
Both sides are coming to a place where they feel they can allow a govt
to be formed will be stable and that they feel they have the abiliity to
influence enough to control/have a veto in SOFA negotiations that will
take place in 2012. Basically they are not solving anything but putting
off until next year
In Afghanistan, things are not as clear cut (not that they are simple in
Iraq). The United States is in the midst of a policy review on
Afghanistan What was that pakistani news item abou Obama telling
congress in a confidential report about strategy being fine and not
needing changes? it is growing increasingly clear to whom? that there is
no real "victory" to be had, and the question is just how much needs to
be accomplished before the U.S. forces can withdraw. The complication in
Afghanistan is PakistanI thought the complication was that the taliban
can wait, would rephrase and not say complication, but key factor.
Islamabad has shown Washington what it can do if pushed, and has briefly
shut down some U.S. supply lines to Afghanistan. Pakistan has always
been a concern in the Afghan campaign; geography has left Washington
heavily dependent upon Pakistan for supply routes into Afghanistan, yet
the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan is no more substantial than
the ink line on a map, and the fight clearly crosses borders. The United
States will be forced once again this quarter to balance the reality
that Pakistan is both a necessary ally in the war in Afghanistan, and a
battlefield in its own right.Also just that Pakistan has to be part of
the final negotation b/c they WILL be around and so the tban will want
to come to an accomodation with them
The acceleration of U.S. preparation to pull out of its two long-running
conflicts, and Washington's brief introversion and nationalistic
rhetoric that will surround the November elections, will stir they are
already "stirred" no? seems they will help shape or guide or something
two other global trends this quarter. In Europe, the Caucasus and
Central Asia, Russia will seek to consolidate its influence over former
Soviet republics like Belarus, Ukraine, and the Central Asian "Stans,"
while at the same time reaching out to Moldova reaching out seems
something you do to a partner/equal...seems more like russia is shaping
or molding/interfering and into the Baltics to extend its influence
along the European frontier. Moscow sees a limited time to integrate and
consolidate its influence in its former sphere of influence, not only
due to the U.S. focus, but also ahead of internal purges leading up to
Russia's next elections arent those purges already starting?. Russia's
increasing focus on the Baltics will test Moscow's ties with Berlin and
Warsaw, while the attention to Moldova will trigger Central European
states like the Czech Republic and Romania to turn more actively toward
the United States, but it is unclear how much attention, at least in
this quarter, Washington can spare for is erstwhile allies.
Where U.S. distraction and the sense of a closing window of opportunity
will clash the most is in Washington's relation with China.Since its
opening China is often the focus of U.S. domestic politics, particularly
during times of economic trouble , and the current election is no
different. Chinese Yuan policy is the most obvious target, but while
Washington is unlikely to carry out any action that will fundamentally
harm economic ties with Beijing, it is the political perception by
governments or domestic populations or both of actions that may have the
more immediate impact on the ties, the economies, or the world order. At
the same time Beijing is managing U.S. economic pressures and rhetoric,
the Chinese government fearsknows that Washington is starting to break
free from its conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, at least enough to set
its sights on the Asia-Pacific region. Like Russia, China is seeking to
expand and consolidate its influence in its near abroad, and in
accelerating these actions, it is raising tensions not only with its
smaller Southeast Asian neighbors, but also with U.S. allies like Japan
or India are you saying India is a US ally?. As with the Central
Europeans, the Southeast Asians will be looking for the United States to
step in and balance China. are they SEAsians that are going to do the
opposite? like nepal?
At the center center of what? remains the United States, and major
powers like Russia and China, who have been watching closely the U.S.
commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan, once again again meaining they saw
it before...when was that? see their window of opportunity elsewhere
closing, not only due to U.S. actions , but domestic political deadlines
US domestic political deadline? or their own domestic political
deadlines? . In this quarter, Washington will be both pre-occupied with
the Congressional elections and seeking ways to find enough compromise
room to get out of its long-running wars. The election distraction gives
a brief opening for Russia and China, and neither is likely to pass up
the opportunity.
On the global economy, the vast stimulus packages that countries
launched during the economic crisis are starting to fade outI remember
hearing peter say the US's has only begun to start. There is no sudden
cut in public spending, but the pump priming is not sustainable
indefinitely. There are signs of growth, albeit slow, around the world,
and while it is far from spectacular, and there remain strong concerns
that it is less than assured to last, there is a tenuous stability
globally. Two areas where this could become unhinged in the quarter are
Europe and U.S.-China relations. Europe is shifting its attention from
Greece and Spain to Ireland and Portugal, countries that may prove less
cantankerous politically and ultimately more manageable economically by
Germany and the Europeans. If the regional management falls short,
however, there is a small chance that Europe could find itself falling
back into financial crisis - something that could ripple outward. With
the United States and China, although Washington appears more ready to
take measures against China regarding the Yuan, it is unlikely to carry
out measures that do anything much more than require additional talks,
at least in the near term. Should Congress or the White House suddenly
feel pressured to take more concrete action that fundamentally affects
trade, the system could come quickly unhinged.
Russian Resurgence:
Russia will continue in the forth quarter to consolidate gains made in
Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kyrgyzstan. Russian actions in the
Central Asian states may be complicated by instability in Kyrgyzstan and
Tajikistan, which may excalate in the fourth quarter with elections in
Kyrgyzstan, security crackdowns in Tajikistan, US plans to withdraw from
Afghanistan, and Russian troops starting to surge into the region. this
is interesting so Russian actions may be complicated by instability
which may be exacerbated by russian actions?
Moscow will also make decisive-though not conclusive - moves in Moldova
and the Baltics, preparing the ground for expansion of Russian influence
in the future . The observance of Russian resurgence into Moldova and
the Baltics will start in the forth quarter to ripple through the rest
of Eastern and Central Europe, leading those states to reach out to the
US or other European heavyweights for support. Russia's moves will also
test the limits of the Berlin-Moscow axis, forcing Russia to find a way
to balance its plans for resurgence with its need to hold onto the
German relationship.
Kremlin Wars:
The battle inside the Kremlin will intensify publicly? what effects will
this have? in the forth quarter as the tandem of Medvedev and Putin
begins to purge high-level Russian figures and the start of the 2012
Presidential election season starts.
U.S.-Iranian Struggle in Iraq:
Washington and Tehran continue to challenge one another over the future
of Iraq, and ultimately over the center balance of power in the Middle
East. This sparring will continue in the fourth quarter, with one rather
significant exception; Washington and Tehran are likely to reach a
preliminary agreement on the provisional balance of power in Baghdad,
with the formation of a new power-sharing government for Iraq emerging
what does "emerging" mean....that means there will be a govt yes? though
maybe not all offices will be filled?. Though this event does set the
stage for a broader understanding between the United States and Iran,
further progress on a regional balance of power will still long remain a
work in progress but it will be delayed...does this not give the US some
time to hit back at Russia? . But the U.S.-Iran competition is spreading
beyond Iraq. Washington is also working with Saudi Arabia and other Arab
allies including turkey? to try and wean Syria from Iranian influence
and further isolate Tehran regionally does this not affect Iraq?. This
centers on Lebanon, and thus also requires Israeli cooperation. It has
also drawn the United States back into its position as broker of Middle
East peace talks. Substantial progress is unlikely in this quarter.
The War in Afghanistan:
While there appears to be mounting anxiety and tensions within the
administration about the efficacy of the counterinsurgency-focused
strategy currently being pursued, on the ground in Afghanistan, any
major strategic shift is unlikely before the strategy review currently
being prepared for the end of the year. Tactical evolutions and shifts
can be expected as both sides adapt to the other, but with the main
effort of the U.S.-led campaign now at full strength in southwest
Afghanistan, operations there can be expected to continue apace through
the winter months ahead.
Destabilizing Pakistan:
While Islamabad will continue to work with Washington in the
counter-insurgency offensive against Taliban and al-Qaeda-led
transnational jihadists, tensions are clearly seen once again in the
temporary disruption of U.S. supplies through Pakistan to Afghanistan.
In Islamabad, the massive floods that took place in the third quarter
will consume the bulk of the focus of the Pakistani state in the fourth
quarter. Managing the floods effects and U.S. military activity that is
crossing the border into Pakistan is bringing tensions between the
civilian and military leadership of Pakistan to a head what does "come
to a head" mean if there is no coup? . Although a coup is unlikely, the
military will be severely tested as it attempts to manage militants,
deflect public angst at U.S. cross-border operations and avoid becoming
the scapegoat for the slow or failing relief efforts in the
flood-stricken areas.
Pakistani relations with India are unlikely to improve and may grow
worse in the fourth quarter. Pakistan-based transnational Islamists
militants may pose a threat to the Commonwealth Games taking place Oct
4-19 in New Delhi, though the massive security preparations for the
event decrease the likelihood decrease it significantly,? saying
preparation decreases it is obvious of successful attacks. Nonetheless,
the threat remains, and shapes India's behavior. New Delhi is also
raising concerns about increased Chinese military cooperation with
Pakistan. It is unlikely that Beijing will significantly expand its
footprint in Pakistan to a point where India feels truly threatened and
forced to take action, but the Indian awareness of the Chinese moves may
further complicate Washington's already difficult intent to balance
between the two competing South Asian states.
The Resurgence of Turkey:
On the home front, the Justice & Development Party government will focus
on consolidating the gains it has made in the form of the victory
referendum on constitutional changes while on the external front it will
continue working on repairing/improving ties with the United States just
US so Israel not mentioned unless that falls under improving ties with
US. The unilateral ceasefire on the part of the Kurdish separatist
group, PKK, is likely to continue at least until the end of this
quarter, though minor clashes could occur. Government will hold talks
with Kurdish camps in Turkey and in Iraq (to get their support against
PKK) and intensified backchannel negotiations with PKK leadership, which
will also deprive the Turkish army of its strongest card to undermine
ruling party's clout, raising the potential for the military to take
action to complicate the talks.
Egypt in Transition:
With the Egyptian parliamentary election nearing, opposition forces will
try and challenge the Mubarak regime by gaining publicity. Though ruling
NDP will win an easy victory in the elections, struggle within the
Mubarak regime - and not between NDP and el-Baradei - for next year's
presidential race will increasingly play out. pnuclicly? violently?
United States and China tensions:
The United States and China will continue to experience aggravated
frictions because of economic policies, Washington's strengthening ties
with allies and partners in Asia Pacific, and Beijing's increasing
assertiveness in its periphery, but they will also manage the
relationship in such a way as to prevent it from fundamentally breaking
down this quarter. The U.S. will take threatening actions on the yuan,
either with its own tools or through international channels, but will
not do anything on the yuan that has a direct, immediate and tangible
effect on trade. Instead it will reserve concrete action for disputes on
specific goods on a case-by-case basis.
China's assertive foreign policy:
China will continue to demonstrate a strong sense of purpose in pursuing
its interests in its periphery, ranging from its relations with Japan,
where deepening tensions will be containable but not eradicable this
quarter, to Southeast Asia, where it will attempt to tighten bonds with
who cause everywhere else we metions chinas neigbors are worried...who
are the ones that arent and undermine U.S. overtures, to South Asia,
where it will continue to bulk up its relationship with Pakistan and
make inroads into other states in that region such as Nepal. This
process is also generating resistance among China's neighbors, and the
quarter will see the beginnings of greater coordination between them on
this count.
China's domestic economy:
China will announce forward-looking economic and political plans
targeting growth rates that are slightly slower, based on its
expectations of global conditionspositive of negative "global
conditions" and desire to continue with structural reforms (in real
estate regulation, energy efficiency, regional development, and other
areas). But simultaneously Beijing will be concerned about slowing
growth in this quarter, reinforcing its continuation of active fiscal
and relatively loose monetary policies. It will thus carry out
structural reforms and manage social problems in such a way as to limit
the negative impact on growth.
Nigeria Election Politics:
The quarter will be dominated by the political wrangling that goes along
with the winner take all competition for the PDP nomination. The
northern candidates opposed to President Goodluck Jonathan will work
especially hard, as only one actor can emerge as a legitimate contender
to the incumbent. --GIVEN THE BOMBING AND TEH CHANGES IN TIMING OF
Sudan Referendum:
Preparations for the referendum will form the primary focus of both
north and south this quarter. Khartoum does not want the vote to be
held, and will seek ways to either postpone the polls or discredit the
eventual outcome before they occur, while quietly utilizing its military
card as a reminder to everyone of the levers it still holds over
Southern Sudan. The south, meanwhile, will also display that it is
prepared to go back to war as well, but will also seek to develop
economic ties with other countries to somewhat diversify its economy
away from oil good lcuk with that...i thought it was more about brining
in outsiders with the promise of oil in a few years so that they lay a
restraining hand on the north. Meanwhile, both sides will simultaneously
be laying the groundwork for new negotiations on a revenue sharing
agreement for crude oil pumped in Southern Sudan, as the south has no
other option but to use northern pipelines to export it.
Somalia Conflict: The balance between AMISOM/TFG and Islamist insurgents
in Mogadishu will continue to result in high levels of violence, but
neither side will be able to tip the scale enough to achieve any
strategic victory. - WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF A MAJOR INCREASE IN AFRICAN
Franco-German Tandem
As Paris and Berlin continue to set aside their differences in order to
jointly tackle the EU economic crisis, the rest of the EU states will
attempt to stand up to the tandem over over issues in the fourth quarter
like the diplomatic corps, upcoming budget so they are going to go
tandem on the budget issue? interesting and issues of nationality, like
the Roma. - WHAT IMPACT DOES THE US-RUSSIA COMPETITION IN CENTRAL EUROPE
European Economic Crisis
The EU's economic focus will shift in the fourth quarter from Greece and
Spain to Ireland and Portugal who are now in the most trouble, though
the most important and volatile economic piece to start to be tackled in
the fourth quarter will be the Banking system.
Venezuela's Growing Vulenrabilities:
Venezuela's economic troubles will grow more severe, threatening they
are already threatened and have been, seems more like it will impact
debilitate key sectors of the state. Though the government lacks any
good options to reverse this trend, it will be able to use the economic
and security crises to physically tighten its grip over the country
through the empowerment of local communal councils and the increased
deployment of militia forces. But Venezuela's problems are not only
internal. In the coming quarter, Venezuela's concerns will grow over
what appears to be a slow and gradual shift in Cuba's orientation toward
the United States. No definitive moves in the U.S.-Cuba relationship
should be expected in the next quarter, but Cuba may attempt to leverage
its heavy influence in Venezuela to attract Washington's interest.
Venezuela's vulnerabilities have led to increased cooperation with
Colombia in the political, economic and even security realms. Unwilling
to risk Colombia pursuing FARC and ELN rebels on Venezuelan soil,
Venezuela appears to have taken steps to flush a number of these rebels
across the border into Colombia, contributing in part to Colombia's
latest military successes against the FARC. Tepid cooperation between
Bogota and Caracas may continue through much of the quarter, but this
developing rapprochement still stands on shaky ground. Venezuela will
cooperate enough to keep the Colombian military at bay, but will also
need to be cautious in trying to avoid a FARC backlash.
The more Venezuela's vulnerabilities increase, the more hard pressed it
will be to find an external ally willing to provide the economic and
political capital to sustain the regime. Venezuela will primarily be
looking to China for this lifeline. China is growing more assertive in
pursuing its commercial interests abroad and will use its relationship
with Venezuela to entrench itself more deeply in the Venezuelan oil
sector, but Beijing remains cautious in presenting too strong a
challenge to U.S. interests in the Western Hemisphere.
The Rise of Brazil:
With the presidential elections behind it (HOW DOES THE RUN-OFF AFFECT
THIS?), Brazil's attention will be primarily occupied with domestic
issues, such as Brazil's outgrowth of regional trade bloc Mercosur,
managing the country's incoming pre-salt oil wealth (IS THERE ANY WEALTH
TO MANAGE THIS QUARTER?), maintaining diverse industry at home in the
face of an appreciating currency and balancing its increasingly
competitive trade relationship with China. However, will take time for
the new Brazilian administration to settle in and the holiday season
will further delay progress in addressing these issues. On the external
front, Brazil will continue its military modernization plan and will
play a more proactive role in regional issues, such as
Colombia-Venezuela relations and Argentina's ongoing dispute with the
United Kingdom over the Falkand Islands (Malvinas,) which Brazil can use
to assert its own authority over the South Atlantic. Brazil will
maintain a close relationship with Iran and Turkey to build a stake in
more distant foreign policy issues, but will not play a decisive role in
Mideast issues.
Growing Splits in Mexico's Cartel Wars:
Cartel violence will continue across Mexico, but the coming quarter will
see a more defined balance of power emerge among the drug-trafficking
organizations, one in which Sinaloa cartel and its allies will benefit
from the high-profile arrests and operational losses of its rivals
(Zetas, BLO, etc.) Though the Mexican government remains gridlocked on
most issues, Mexican President Felipe Calderon also understands the
limits of the state's war against the cartels and faces a pressing need
to bring levels of violence down before 2012 national elections. A
political exit strategy from the war will begin to take shape, one in
which dominant cartels and potential negotiating partners like Sinaloa
are likely to be favored. As Sinaloa rivals continue to lose key leaders
and their operational capability, these groups will rely more on IEDs ,
kidnapping-for-ransom and extortion tactics and will diversify their
criminal activities in an attempt to remain relevant on the Mexican
drug trafficking scene. Expansion of cartel activity further south into
Central America will continue.Nothing on US involvement? just making

Fantastic! I've made this a few times and it is always a big hit. I use baby spinach and I don't bother cooking it. I just toss it in. When the spinach is mixed in the salad, the dressing naturally wilts as if it were cooked. I would highly recommend doing it this way.
Fabulous pasta salad! It's simple and delicious! It's so easy to put together, yet tastes like something you'd find at a gourmet deli. I used fresh tortellini and fresh spinch vs. frozen. I also threw in some roasted red peppers along with the cherry tomatoes and olives. I used shredded Parmesan and for the dressing I chose "Nonna's Tuscan Salad Dressing" from this site. This recipe is a definite keeper!
This was a hit at our ladies luncheon! Very colorful; nice light, Italian taste. I used about 4-5 ounces of finely chopped fresh spinach, uncooked, a little more parmesan cheese than called for, a little more tortellini, and not nearly as much salad dressing (less than half of the 16 oz bottle). I used those little sweet 'grape' tomatoes and didn't cut them in half. It sat for a little bit (about an hour and a half) which I think was good. Let the tortellini soak up all the flavors. Thanks so much for this recipe - it's a keeper!

:: Entertainment Weekly's recapper loved Brit as much as we did. "What I like about Britney on this show, besides everything, is her succinctness. She's brutally honest, never rambles, and — if we're to believe the carefully edited clip series of some of her best letdowns — often just says 'No.' one, two, or three times to get her point across."
:: USA Today enjoyed Demi's bubbly debut. "Lovato cheerily took control, asking the singers to introduce themselves and handing the mike to Cowell to comment on the performances. As the only judge too young to drink, she related well to the teenage contestants." But the paper awarded Britney with the night's best comment when she said "I wanna know who let you onstage. I feel uncomfortable with you even staring at me."
:: The Washington Post enjoyed Brit's string of "no's" but they "don't think the Brit Is The Other Simon story arc is going to have legs." Regarding the cruel Don Philip stunt: "How many other former Brit-partners can the producers dig up before she cracks? (Actually, she seemed rather more resilient than they might have hoped.)"
:: HitFix thinks Brit needs to step up the wit: "Lots of criticism from Britney. None of it is all that clever, but we're supposed to be impressed. Simon is. 'And everybody thinks I'm the mean one,' he says."
:: The New York Daily News felt "Spears and Lovato seem to be developing a friendly rapport" and that the premiere was "a win for Lovato."
:: E! was impressed with the new judges, but worries that it may have been smoke and mirrors: "While we won't really be able to see the judges' chemistry until the live shows later this season, if they're anything like the carefully edited episodes…we're in!"
:: The Wall Street Journal concluded that "The episode was enjoyable if not predictable. There were a few memorable performances. There was also a sense of hollowness to the proceedings, so much pomp and circumstance, so much self-congratulation that will, ultimately, beget so little." Sounds harsh, but hey, can you name last season's winner? Hey, no Googling!

I don't understand, but maybe I do
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 04-12-2010 - 5:12pm
I'm Vicky, and kind of new. I was around when ivllage was first starting. Anyway, I've been seperated for 3 years now. He took our sons and moved into his mother's empy house. I know he married me for my mom's money. We agreed that when we got married, if my built us these two houses, one for her and one for us, we would take care of her when she got older. He was going to raise his farm animals across both properties. Anyway, I did take care of mom while my now EX focused on himself. So when I need help, his family swooped in and took over my house.
Mom passed. We tried to stay together and keep the property. We even had his cousin rent the house for 5 years. However, I couldn't live with my husband. He was controlling, abusive and underhanded. I couldn't trust him.
Like I said, we've been seperated for 3 years. Alot of crap has happened between the two of us. He took the boys. Everyone asks why he has the boys, because he left me with a house that's run down, I'm in debt because of him and I can't afford to get an attorney. Well, now I can, because I have sold off my mom's property and paid off the debt on her estate. Ex did help me take care of the place. He paid for repairs and for the taxes. The estate is reimbursing him for that. However, he is also charging the estate $50 a week for lawn care. We had a verbal agreement to take care of mom so he could have the animals on her property. I never hired him to mow the lawn. I never agreed to do this while his sheep got free board. So now he wants money. He just did it. I didn't know that he was going to charge the estate. Greedy, Greedgy
Well things are moveing along. I'm getting closer to being able to hire an attorney to sue for custody and then the divorce. He still has sheep on my property. I allow this so he will pay his part of the bills. Each month it's a fight because nothing is in writing. He has more money than I do and he has his families money too. I have next to nothing. I want to move on, find another path and I'm preparing for it. Moving towards it.
He seems happy to keep things as they are. Well, I don't. I want my sons, I want to know what they are doing and how they are doing. I can't go down to where they live because I will be kicked off. So he brings them up to me. Six months ago I've changed the locks and what a freeing experience that was. He would go through the house and take what he wanted. He's using me and I'm using him. So now that I have some of the the money from the estate, it's time to place it in the courts hands. I think he has his cake and get's to eat it too......but now when I go to court, My attorney says he doesn't have a pot to piss in.
|Mon, 04-12-2010 - 5:59pm
Good luck, Vicky.
I know that it's hard but I think that you need to stop being considerate and nice to your ex-husband. Like the sheep thing. That sounds like another example of him using you. You say you're doing it so he'll pay the bills - but really its about him threatening to not pay the bills to make you keep his sheep there. Try playing hard ball with him for a change. If you're still married aren't they your sheep too? Are you entitled to sell them? That would cover the bills for a while, wouldn't it? Check with your attorney.
You listen to your attorney. I hope you've got a good one. You get the things that are yours. Don't bother taking your ex for every single red cent he has and try to get things that are crazy; but do make sure that you get everything that you're entitled to get.
|Mon, 04-12-2010 - 6:20pm
|Mon, 04-12-2010 - 6:47pm
Vicky, nobody would take my sons away from me. Also you don't need money to get a divorce attorney, they can get paid out of the proceeds of the divorce settlement. It sounds like there is more to this story. ???

In the state of Pennsylvania, there is no legal seperation. Yes, I'm entitled to the boys at least have of the time. But my ex is very controlling. When the boys are not in school, they are on his families property. I'm not allowed on the property. Without anything from the courts, I can't get them off the property whether or not I'm entitled. I could remove them from school, but I'm not going to play games with them and confuse them even more. I had to take on so many jobs when we seperated, I wouldn't have been able to take care of them anyway. I worked from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.I can't get joint custody without paying the attorney $1,000 just to file the custody agreement not to mention on top of that legal and court fees. Every time I had the $1,000 saved up a catastraphe would occur. $3,000 to fix the jeep, and on top of that, I've had to pay $3,000 in repair bills over the last 3 years. When I broke my elbow, I didn't get any pay.
You try enforcing that he pay half of the bills when there is nothing from the court to back me up. Like I said, he's a controlling person who KNOWS everything. My father-in-law went through the exact same thing when my ex were my boys ages. We live in the mountains and my ex and his family are very back wood. Mountain people. They'd sooner shoot you and then ask questions. If I did have the boys without being prepared, how was I going to get child care for them. How was I going to get them on the bus or off the bus or make dinner or go over homework. I don't have any family to help me out. He has a whole support system. Even if I would have gone to court, I wouldn't have gotten them unless it was visitation or on weekends.
Now I have the time. Now I have the money. It's not like I haven't tried. I've knocked on every door not only once, but maybe 5 times or more. I've had people go to bat for me only to give me the same answers. I am a well educated woman who has basically had her kids abducted from her. This is no different if my ex would have taken them clear across the country or is where he is a mile down the road.
If you were speaking to a woman who's children were abducted, would you tell her you don't understand why she doesn't have her children? Why doesn't she just drive up to where they are and take them back. If it's that easy, then you come knock on the door with me.
|Tue, 04-13-2010 - 3:20pm
Part of the problem is that while you want them with you, you cant afford them and dont seem to have the time (working lots of jobs) to handle their schedules (and dont have family as back-up for when you are gone).....

Australian CRNAs?
- 0Sep 25, '07 by ghaleon128Hey I have been trying to find out a few things. Does Australia allow American trained CRNAs to provide anaesthesia? If so, what kind of certification is needed to practice over there? I've been looking at where CRNAs can work internationally and it seems rather limited as most countries require doctors to administer anaesthesia. Thanks for any help :spin:
- 0Sep 25, '07 by deepzQuote from ghaleon128No. Although 107 nations around the globe do have nurse anesthetists in some form, in Oz, like the other members of the Olde British Empire (New Zealand, Canada, etc.), only docs do 'anaesthesia.'....... Does Australia allow American trained CRNAs to provide anaesthesia? .......

Festival Kenya a roaring success
Over £60,000 raised for water in Kenya On November 21st last year, over 400 people came together in the heart of London to raise money for a sustainable water project in northern Kenya. We set out to re-imagine the black tie dinner, and laid on an evening of entertainment to celebrate Kenya's rich culture. With Dawa cocktails, Samburu dancing and a London debut fashion show from FAFA, our guests truly saw the real face of contemporary Kenya. You can find a full selection of photographs from the evening here. Thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone who came along we beat our target of £60,000, allowing us to build two sustainable rainwater reservoirs in drought-stricken Laikipia in the north of Kenya. Laikipia is home to one of the most vibrant ecosystems on our planet, but increasingly extreme weather has caused severe droughts which threaten the lives of the nomadic Samburu people and local wildlife. Working closely with the Samburu and The Samburu Trust - our Kenyan based partners - we can now build the first two in a network of six rainwater reservoirs. The reservoirs will bring ...
BBC2′s 'Toughest Place to be a Farmer' inspires fundraising for a rainwater reservoir…
After experiencing first hand the Samburu farmers' daily struggle to find water to sustain themselves and their livestock, Richard Gibson (BBC2's 'Toughest Place to be a Farmer') and his wife Heather are raising money to build a rainwater reservoir, which will provide a sustainable water supply for the farmers all year round... "The Summer of 2012 was a very grim one for UK farmers. When the BBC invited me to audition for a documentary titled 'Toughest Place to be a Farmer' it seemed a good opportunity to experience a place contrasting the muddy fields of Devon . Fortunately I was selected and within a month flown off to an unknown destination.The BBC do not want you to overthink this and need you quickly on location. Only at the airport was I told that I was off to a remote part of North East Kenya to join the Samburu tribe.

Always a champion in our eyes
As the Bath half Marathon draws near, we are lucky enough to have some wonderful supporters running to raise funds for Wherever the Need's work. Oliver Gould is one such person, running the half-marathon twice in one day in memory of his good friend Jessica Gunn, who was sadly taken from her family and friends last Summer. Oliver remembers that "there are two things that Jessica was hugely passionate about throughout her life, the beauty of Nature and people. Her love for these two things really defined her by showing us all how enormously gentle and caring she was". Jessica was a supporter of one of Wherever the Need's collaborative projects in Kenya, which Oliver is choosing to support in memory of her. Please help us support Oliver, by donating through his Virgin Money Giving page or by cheering him on the day!
Winter newsletter 2011-2012
In our summer newsletter, we focused on the trip David (CEO) had just made to India. In this latest newsletter we explain a little more fully what we are doing in Africa based on Richard's (Director of African Development) most recent visit. He managed to combine a trip to both Kenya and Sierra Leone and there are many contrasts between the two countries. Kenya is one of Africa's powerhouses, while Sierra Leone is anything but. However, even in the relative prosperous Kenya the majority of people have an extremely difficult life, made all the more difficult by acute water shortages caused by increasing drought conditions. In contrast Sierra Leone, at least in the region in which we work, has abundant rainfall, but little or no infrastructure and a population that is among the poorest in the world. However, regardless of the country the basis of our work is the same – using sanitation, water and livelihoods to help people out of poverty. It is the good health and income generation model that we employ successfully in every project. Read the newsletter here (PDF 2.7mb)
People from wealthy industrialized nations see flip-flops as cheap and disposable. But in Kenya, much-loved "pata-patas" are repaired, reused, and recycled—but never wasted. The film follows the long life cycle of this colorful footwear, a story full of resourcefulness, enterprise, and creativity.

Grassroots mapping
People living in Kibera (in the Kenyan capital Nairobi) have been mapping their government-ignored neighbourhood. Kibera is one of Africa's largest slums, and until recently was a blank space on official maps. The first complete map is hoped to form the basis of plans to improve the area and the lives of its residents. See the process in action on the bbc here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12164081
Kenya project photos
The first photos for our project in Narok South, Kenya are ready for all to see. This is an exciting project 140 kilometres west of Nairobi in which we are helping the community with ecosan toilets, a large rainwater reservoir, a small livelihood opportunity and a tree nursery. These facilities will work in tandem with the pastoralist nature of the local population. See the photos and project details here: http://wherevertheneed.org.uk/projects/kenya-projects/narok-south/

text: In 2011, Jessica Chastain starred in seven films, including Terrence Malick's The Tree Of Life. But it's Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty (ZDT; 2012) that has made her Hollywood's latest actress-everyone-wants-to-know-more-about. With a Best Actress Oscar nomination under her belt, she talks about her role and working with Kathryn, ahead of the film's India release on February 1. Is this your biggest role till date?I don't know if it's the biggest, but it's definitely the greatest role as I'm playing the woman at the centre of the world's greatest manhunt. What matters to me are the script and how intense the character is. What was the most challenging part of playing Maya?Portraying a woman I'm not in real life. The character is a woman who is emotionally controlled and analytically precise, whereas I am expressive and believe in living life freely. This was a challenge. But as I went on, I understood that she is a strong woman, but has emotions; it's just that she's learnt to control them very well. What kind of research went into the role? I derived a lot of information by reading books like The Looming Tower by Lawrence Wright and Osama Bin Laden by Michael Scheuer. Also, following up on news and articles gave me insights. The rest was my imagination, to fill in the blanks of what I couldn't find in my research about this woman.Parts of ZDT were shot in India. What was your experience? I didn't get to see much as I was busy shooting. I got a chance to visit the Taj Mahal and some parts of Rajasthan and Chandigarh. I realised that the culture here is so very different. I also went on a horse-drawn carriage.

Director Mike Leigh has been around for a while — directing such films as Vera Drake and Topsy-Turvy. And with those films, he's developed a solid base of appreciators. And with his latest film Happy-Go-Lucky, the story of an unrelentingly optimistic young woman named Poppy (played by Sally Hawkins), I'd be willing to bet that his fan base is bound to grow. As is the base of Sally Hawkins, who was described by my good friend Pete Sciretta at Slashfilm as delivering "one hell of a performance" in this film.
And in order to help get the word out on this film, which hits theaters in limited release on October 10th, we've received a few posters to give away.
