Spring Training is the opposite of memorable. It happens and then the real games begin. Hopefully nobody gets hurt. That's the ultimate goal for most players and fans – keep everybody on the field. As such, it makes very few spring moments unforgettable.
Spring Training lolls like a ship in a gentle current, listing side to side until the season begins and real excitement spills over for most fans. It takes a lot for spring memories to persevere.

If you have been away from school for a few years, applying to college may seem overwhelming. Don't worry! We have trained admission counselors ready to help you through the entire admission process. They will work with you to understand your goals and find the program that is right for you. They'll also answer any questions you may have about online learning.
For more information on the application process, click here for how to apply. Or to access our online application, click here. For other questions or to receive application support, contact an admissions counselor.
Six starts a year
Unlike most traditional schools that only have two semesters a year, The American Women's College has six accelerated sessions per year. These accelerated six week sessions start in September, November, January, February, April and June. That means you can start at any time of the year. And if you can't start in one session, you can always defer to the next.
The only real requirement is that you have graduated from high school.
Our credits cost only $400 each. You need 120 credits to graduate. That means you can get a diploma for as little as $48,000. (That's what many colleges charge for just one year!) And once you consider transferable credits, scholarships and grants, it could cost significantly less than that.
Credit for work & volunteer service
You are eligible to receive credits for college level learning gained through experience. Eligibility for Prior Learning Credits is determined on an individual basis. The type of experience that is usually eligible for credit is:
- Certification, licenses and training programs
- Attendance at seminars, workshops and conferences
- Experiences in professional fields, travel and volunteerism
If you are interested in earning Prior Learning Credits, please contact the Admissions Office to speak with a counselor.
We will discuss your experience with you to determine the documentation that you will need to provide along with your application.

Fade to White: The Tender Treatment of Christian Terror |
Written by Chris Floyd |
Saturday, 23 July 2011 22:22 |
There is not much to say about the horrific events in Norway, beyond this general observation. If a white, Christian nationalist carries out such atrocities, then he is, inevitably and always, a "lone nut," an outlier, emblematic of nothing but his own individual lunacy. But if a Muslim-- or any person of color or non-white ethnicity -- does anything similar (or indeed, far less serious in scope), why then, that perpetrator is emblematic of an entire race or religion or ethnic group: a group which must then be laid under collective suspicion, and collective harrasment, by the "security" forces (and the chattering classes) of the West. |

A healthy DeMarco Murray has the potential to be highly effective tonight against an Eagles defense that's on par with the fierce units fielded yesterday throughout America on Pop Warner fields. The problem, of course, is that a healthy Murray is a football species we've only really heard about, and he can only be discovered hidden in rocks far beneath the Earth's crust.
You're excited that Murray will most likely be active tonight for the Cowboys-Eagles game after he practiced all week, and barring some kind of last-minute strike by the fantasy gods from high above, that still appears to be the case. He'll play, and he'll play for the first time since Week 7.
After spending a second-round pick on Murray this year, you're facing conflicting emotions. Mostly, you're filled with rage after your top running back missed six games, and he's only now returning during the final week before the fantasy playoffs in most leagues. For many of you — especially those who whiffed on Felix Jones on the waiver wire — that blow was far too difficult to sustain, and you're now either out of the playoffs, or desperately reaching. Therefore, Murray is an asshole.

Feb 8, 2013 12:37 AM by The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - The state transportation department says it has determined that the foundations underpinning thousands of bridges, overcrossings and other structures are safe.
The department undertook an extensive review of its testing data after a series of stories in The Sacramento Bee raised questions about testing on the new eastern span of the Bay Bridge and other projects.
In its review of its testing system, released late Thursday, CalTrans said irregularities were "exceedingly rare." It concluded that the state's "transportation infrastructure rests on dependable foundations."
The agency forwarded its findings to Democratic Sen. Mark DeSaulnier of Concord, who convened a committee hearing on the matter last year.
DeSaulnier said he has not had a chance to review the report. The state senator said he's awaiting an independent review his committee had requested.

Whilst your content marketing might be entertaining, informative, snappy and sexy, you might want to try teaching for reach.
For example, if you run a copywriting agency don't just bombard clients with ads, banners, testimonials or sign-up forms, set out to actually teach them.
My post last week 10 Tips to Help You Write Better Headlines was a specific example of teaching to reach.
Now I could have saved that kind of post for an existing client who I'm teaching to write better web-copy, but by sharing it with everyone for free, my experience and expertise becomes a way of reaching new audiences.
Giving it Away
For some "old school" business folk giving products or services away for free seems crazy. But as someone who embraces online marketing and communications I know from experience that sharing some of your best tips or suggestions actually brings people in. Not everyone will feel, for example, that they have the skills to craft their writing into web-writing and may then turn to you – say, an experienced, professional copywriter – to help them with their campaign.

Although the cochlea is an amplifier and a remarkably sensitive and finely tuned detector of sounds, it also produces conspicuous mechanical and electrical waveform distortions. These distortions reflect nonlinear mechanical interactions within the cochlea. By allowing one tone to suppress another (masking effect), they contribute to speech intelligibility. Tones can also combine to produce sounds with frequencies not present in the acoustic stimulus. These sounds compose the otoacoustic emissions that are extensively used to screen hearing in newborns. Because both cochlear amplification and distortion originate from the outer hair cells-one of the two types of sensory receptor cells-it has been speculated that they stem from a common mechanism. Here we show that the nonlinearity underlying cochlear waveform distortions relies on the presence of stereocilin, a protein defective in a recessive form of human deafness. Stereocilin was detected in association with horizontal top connectors, lateral links that join adjacent stereocilia within the outer hair cell's hair bundle. These links were absent in stereocilin-null mutant mice, which became progressively deaf. At the onset of hearing, however, their cochlear sensitivity and frequency tuning were almost normal, although masking was much reduced and both acoustic and electrical waveform distortions were completely lacking. From this unique functional situation, we conclude that the main source of cochlear waveform distortions is a deflection-dependent hair bundle stiffness resulting from constraints imposed by the horizontal top connectors, and not from the intrinsic nonlinear behaviour of the mechanoelectrical transducer channel.

Last night PK Subban signed a new contract with Montreal that will pay him $2 million pro-rated this season and $3.75 million next season. Two years, $2.875 against the cap.
In the immediate aftermath of the team announcing the deal, everyone came out in full support of Marc Bergevin, who had to make his first tough decision as Habs GM in not bending to Subban's demands for a five-year deal. "He stuck to his guns," they said with approving nods. Indeed, he didn't want to look "weak" after saying he wanted a two-year deal and nothing besides, and thus this is what he got. For all the sitting out, Subban only pulled an additional $250,000 from the two years, $5.5 million he rejected in August. Chump change for of one of the richest organizations in hockey.
As many have pointed out, the money Subban got was Mike Del Zotto money, and there can't be too many people in hockey who think Mike Del Zotto is as good a defenseman as PK Subban. So in that regard, yes, Bergevin "won" by "sticking to his guns" with this deal. Subban lost because he didn't cash in at anywhere near the amount he wanted.
But if we look a little farther up the road, this is a not-very-bright move by a guy who's only just now trying to prove himself in his new job. But in reality, the new Subban contract is only a win if you think the NHL stops existing after next season.
Because here's the thing: Yeah, the Habs are paying $2.875 million for PK Subban against the cap for the next two seasons. That doesn't even matter so much this year because the Habs had the cap space and then some to get the deal done, and even less next year because Scott Gomez comes off the books.
But after that, when Subban's up for a new deal in the summer of 2014? Andrei Markov is off the books too. As is Tomas Kaberle. As is Brian Gionta, who, captain or not, will be 36 at that point and not worth anywhere near the $5 million a season cap hit he currently carries. It will be a radically different NHL, too, with a lower salary cap that likely won't have gone up all that much after coming down so heavily this summer.
So how, exactly, does Bergevin win here? It seems to me that Subban's deal is designed specifically to fit him under the cap next season, and is therefore opening the team to significant risk that probably isn't worth anywhere near the trouble. Subban is currently 23. He'll be in the prime of his career this season and next. Maybe the team thinks his 50 percent drop in goal production between his rookie and sophomore years is an indicator of things to come — and surely the only way to tell with that is to wait and see — but again, huge risk to take. The likelihood, based on his age and development path, is that Subban continues to mature into a very, very good NHL defenseman, and those don't come cheap. Especially when Bergevin's neat little two-year deal gets him right up to the point of what Shea Weber saw last summer.
It's perhaps unfair to compare him to Weber, because Weber is among the elitest of the league's elite defensemen and his deal was signed under the old collective bargaining agreement (and under threat of offer sheet from a desperate, big-market team, no less). But nonetheless, what do you suppose a defenseman who's, let's say, even top-30 in the league who just went through his age-24 and -25 years on an improving team with good young talent in the pipeline commands when he's looking for a team to buy up several years of unrestricted free agency? What about if that team is also going to be in the market for some defensemen to carry heavy minutes with Markov and Kaberle's contracts expiring?
Do you think it will be less or more on a per-annum basis against the cap than what Bergevin could have signed Subban for with that five-year deal the player wanted today? Here's a clue for you: It's going to be more. Probably by a lot. I'm not saying Subban's going to pull league max or anything even resembling it. He probably won't even get Erik Karlsson's $6.5 million. But I wouldn't think $5.5-6 million a year will be out of the question.
This is a deal that both sides seem to have lost, somehow. Subban doesn't get nearly the money or years he should have. James Mirtle quoted an anonymous player agent as calling it "bizarre." Bergevin, meanwhile, puts a Band-Aid on a PR bullet wound, ensuring that whether it's through arbitration or a normal negotiation, Subban is going to get paid a lot more against the cap than he would have with a reasonable longer-term deal today. And man, he really better hope it's not through arbitration, because Don Meehan will only have to whisper the name "Tyler Myers" to make everyone on the other side of the table start weeping openly.
And here's the really weird part: The Habs aren't going to be good this year or next. Like, not at all. They'll probably improve over last year's lottery finish, sure, but when it comes to being competitive? They're not all that close. Subban will be able to prey on that in two summers as well. If they want to keep the improving band together, someone's gotta pay the best defenseman. This is all phenomenally shortsighted, isn't it?
So yes, Bergevin stuck to his guns, and he will pay through the nose for doing so. That's not all that smart to me. But hey, at least the fans won't chant "We want PK!" at every game now. That's gotta be worth the extra headaches and money this deal will carry down the line.

Science news digest – 19th August 2013
In the news this week: first new carnivorous mammal in 35 years is discovered in the western hemisphere, smart windows use electricity to block light, monkeys losing the ability to use tools, and finally, the mystery of underwater crop circles is solved.
The Olinguito is the first new mammal discovered in the Western Hemisphere in 35 years
A new species of carnivorous mammal has been discovered by scientists at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. The Olinguito is part of the raccoon family, and has gone unnoticed for hundreds of years.
The creature has evaded detection for years in its natural habitat in the Andean cloud forests of South America. It comes out only at night, and lives in areas where fog is common, making it difficult to spot, according to Smithsonian Magazine. The last carnivorous mammal discovered in the Western Hemisphere was the Colombian weasel in 1978, so the discovery is a rare occurrence.
"It's hard for me to explain how excited I am," Kristofer Helgen, lead researcher in the research, told the BBC. "The Olinguito is a carnivore - that group of mammals that includes cats, dogs and bears and their relatives. Many of us believed that list was complete, but this is a new carnivore - the first to be found on the American continent for more than three decades."
"We used clues from the specimens about where they might have come from and to predict what kind of forest we might find them in - and we found it!"
Dr Helgen started to investigate the Olinguito when he found some unfamiliar remains in storage at a museum in Chicago. "It stopped me in my tracks," he told the BBC. "The skins were a rich red colour and when I looked at the skulls I didn't recognise the anatomy. It was different to any similar animal I'd seen, and right away I thought it could be a species new to science."
The researchers then travelled to Ecuador's Otonga Reserve in 2006 to try to find the animal. After a long search, they teamed up with a local hunter to shoot and retrieve a specimen, which then had its DNA analysed.
It is also believed that an Olinguito was exhibited in several zoos between 1967 and 1976, mistaken for another species, the Olinga. Its keepers could not understand why it would not breed, but this new research brings an end to the mystery.
Smart windows use spray-on shading to filter heat and light when needed
Floor-to-ceiling windows are found in most modern office spaces and many homes, providing wide swathes of sunlight and reducing lighting bills. But too much sun can cause uncomfortably high temperatures in the workplace, so a new invention will be gladly received by office workers.
The nanocrystal coating can control how much light and heat passes through the window on demand, according to Wired. Materials scientists at the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have been working to reduce the energy consumption of large buildings, and their latest invention uses electricity to adjust heat and light levels.
"The ability to perform well in hot and cold climates could mean big energy savings," says Delia Milliron, a materials chemist who led the team that developed the material. A quarter of the US energy bill is spent on cooling, heating and lighting buildings, according to Milliron.
The study, published in Nature, explains that the coating can be sprayed onto existing glass, so it doesn't require new windows to be installed. A low voltage placed across the panel causes tiny crystals in the coating to absorb heat-producing near-infrared radiation, while a larger voltage cause niobium oxide to darken, blocking out visible light.
Together, the compounds can block more than 50% of heat and 70% of visible light, potentially leading to significant energy savings, especially in hot and sunny countries.
Monkeys stop using tools when disturbed by illegal plantations in Thailand
Remarkable behaviour by Macaque monkeys in Thailand is being disrupted by illegal palm oil and rubber plantations. Where previously the monkeys would use rocks to crack open shellfish, new developments deter them from the shore, preventing their use of tools.
Research published in Oryx explains that illegal plantations are clearing large areas of forest. The humans also compete for food along the protected shores, by harvesting clams and oysters. Dogs used to protect the plantations also disturb the monkeys, distracting them from learning the tool use techniques from their seniors, according to the scientists at Nanyang Technological University.
"What's been happening is that over the past six years on the island, we've just seen more palm oil and rubber farms being developed in the forest. I've begun to notice that the groups that are closest to human activities, just aren't having kids anymore," lead researcher Michael Gumert told BBC News. "The monkeys come down to the big rocky coasts and pick up rocks and crack things like oysters and crabs. But if the dogs repel them, the monkeys use the shore less and less and they will stop using tools as much."
The use of tools by Macaque monkeys was first discovered almost a decade ago, by Cambridge researchers studying them in Brazil. Now that tool use is threatened, and although the Macaques are unlikely to die out as a result, the loss makes it more difficult for scientists to study how and why some species develop the ability.
The plantation developments are illegal, but eviction attempts have failed to remove them from the island of Piak Nam Yai. Scientists say there is a trend towards monkeys across Asia becoming dependent on humans for food, and Gumert is worried the same could happen to the Macaques.
"What we're looking at with these stone-tool-using monkeys is a rare case of truly wild long-tail macaques doing their original wild behaviour, unlike most of the other macaques that have had their behaviour destroyed by human development," Gumert told the BBC. "If we develop right next to them, they will stop going to the coast to feed and go to the local rubbish bin and find food there."
And finally…
The mystery of beautiful underwater 'crop circles' is solved
These incredible circular patterns on the seafloor were first spotted in 1995, according to Discover Magazine, but their origin was unknown. Now their creation has been studied in detail by researchers from Japan, and the culprit, the tiny male pufferfish has been filmed burrowing away at his creation.
In a study published in Scientific Reports, the scientists presume that females choose a mate depending on the quality of his circular nest, and the process shakes up fine sand particles into the centre of the nest, which are required for egg-rearing.

If you decide taking a round trip in Western Europe you should start in Great Britain. Drink Guinness in one of London's crowded pubs. Then rent a car, but be careful with left-side driving and go to the countryside. There are marvelous castles and the land is also beautiful. From Britain take the Eurostar to Brusselles and visit the capital of the European Union. There are also delicious beers and chocolates. Then go towards to the city of love, which is Paris. After visiting the main sights go to a restaurant at St.Germain and enjoy French flavors then walk along the Seine's bank in the moonlight.
For getting a little rest take a plane to Spain, enjoy the beauty of Barcelona and get sunburnt on the beach. If you are ready for a historical trip, go to Berlin, which is said to be the world's largest construction, and the city still shows the differences between East and West. If you still have time, money and curiosity you should visit the capital city of fashion, Milan. Milan is the less typical Italian city in Italy but one of the most beautiful ones. Pamper yourself with posh clothes, a huge meal of pasta, delicious ice cream, sit into a cafeteria at Dome Square and take a real Italian café.
It is also worth going to Switzerland. The country of banks, watches, chocolates and mountains is a perfect place to relax.
Don't forget to buy souvenirs, so your relatives will enrich by little Eiffel Towers, Big Bens, glamorous chocolates, Prada scarves, toreador figures, etc.

Paul Ellingworth, translation consultant for the United Bible Societies in the United Kingdom and honorary lecturer in NT at the University of Aberdeen, commences with an exhaustive (seventy-five page) listing of commentaries, reference works, and related articles on Hebrews. From there he proceeds with an excellent treatment of the book's authorship, date, setting, literary structure and genre, and theology (3-80). He notes thirteen individuals to whom the authorship has been attributed and provides a thorough review of each possibility, concluding that internal evidence is largely lacking and external evidence is unreliable and divided (3). For numerous reasons he doubts it was Paul. He suggests the book was written to "a predominantly, but not exclusively Jewish-Christian group" (27) who were probably living in Rome (29), not long before the fall of Jerusalem (33). He argues that "it is extremely likely that gnostic currents of thought were circulating, perhaps in oral form, during the NT period and even earlier" (42-43), but firmly maintains that there are striking "differences between the teaching of Hebrews and gnosticism as we know it from a later period" (44).
The writer attacks the difficult passages with technical depth and precision, but frequently fails to tie the research together into a conclusion. Though a vast amount of research is evident, he does not always effectively blend the individual parts into the whole. In Hebrews 6:4, he suggests that "enlightened" connotes instruction, not baptism. Nor does "tasted the heavenly gift" depict the eucharist. In both cases, he maintains, the language is figurative (320). Regarding 6:6 he concludes that "once the grace of God in Christ has been received, continued sin is a fatal reversal of faith which puts a person on the side of those responsible for Christ's humiliation and death" (322).
Ellingworth treats the identity of Melchizedek (type of Christ or christophany) only briefly. He concludes that the relationship cannot be typological, since both Christ and Melchizedek are priests forever. Rather, he likes the idea that Melchizedek was a christophany, but finds it unprovable. Ultimately he concludes that the author of Hebrews chooses not to elaborate on the thought of "made like the Son of God" (7:3) "because Christ, not Melchizedek, is his main interest" (351). He provides excellent thoughts on the great faith chapter -Hebrews 11- especially those about the faith of Abraham.
The commentary contributes to an understanding of the epistle, especially from the technical side. The stated purpose of the series is to provide "something less technical than a full-scale critical commentary" (vii), but the author excludes few critical or technical matters. He directs considerable attention to the matters of textual variants, manuscript evidence, and extra-biblical documents, with a resultant interruption of the flow of both text and context. The work's contribution can be significant, but probably only to more serious students.

Secrets of Sardinia
This is about Italy's secret coast—the other Sardinia. Not the Sardinia of the Aga Khan, yachts, celebrities, oligarchs, and tycoons. Not, in other words, Porto Rotondo, where Italy's Caviar Left came every summer to populate a brand-new colony built to its high-flying specifications. That vociferous, in-your-face Sardinia reminds me of the film Swept Away, whose director, Lina Wertmüller, was inspired by my aunt, the designer Mariuccia Mandelli, who founded Krizia; her even more formidable sister Giancarla; and their court of influential intellectuals and entrepreneurs. Lying topless in the sun—it was part of the liberation of forceful women nurtured in a traditional society—they conducted lively conversations, mostly about politics, that anyone might have mistaken for fights and that resounded across the wild Mediterranean maquis.

I'm trying to buy a house in the Chicago burbs, but every move we make seems to be wrong. We are moving from DC, where the market is strong and I still had to lose money on my house. Chicago markets are supposedly at 2003 prices, but sellers or agents are still pricing very high. After being shut out of several deals, we finally found a potential house for us. We thought it was odd that after being on the market a year, the owners were only willing to show it one specific hour per week. We did our research and found it on a foreclosure list. Yes, the owners didn't tell the agent they were being foreclosed on. Apparently, their deal with the bank is that they can "try" to sell, so they are keeping it listed while they try to make some business deals and get out of their financial troubles. They figure the bank won't get around to evicting them for a year or so. I feel for them, but aren't they misrepresenting the situation to bank? Geeze, I could buy their house and fix their financial problems right now. Meanwhile, very little new comes on the market, and what is decent sells in days. What is this nonsense about it being a buyer's market? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I also see a limited market for buyer's in my area. Most people today will not list their house so there is not much on the market. I see some good prices and others too high, it varies by each house. |
That's an interesting observation, but I see it around here, too. People aren't listing their houses because they don't want to (or can't afford to) list at 2003 prices and because it's not a "seller's market". There's almost nothing for sale in my neighborhood until someone dies, and then the heirs sell quickly for nothing, dropping the comps and prices even lower. |
I'm having the problem where the good houses are being snapped up within days of being listed. I feel like we have to be prepared to "pounce" when we see a home we like - if we get to see it before it goes under contract. So, suprisingly, it was much easier to sell our home (under contract withing 4 days of listing) than it has been to buy a new home. Foreclosures and short sales are really a small percentage of the inventory here (at least in the areas we're looking at). Its seems like there are just a lot of buyers right now and inventory is just average. |

Internet MLS listings allow buyers to weed out 90+ percent of all listings. The remaining decent ones (updated, priced right, decent location, etc.) are the ones that get all the buyer attention. Our strategy for the last three houses was to find a house that has good bones and a good location, but shows horribly. Our recent purchase was a foreclosure that lingered on the market almost a year. The blurry MLS photos showed a dirty, trash-filled house. The listing description was mostly describing the terms of sale, versus the nice features this house has. While this wasn't a "steal", it was a good 10% under market value, and with a few grand of repairs and upgrades along with a thorough cleaning, we'll have an awesome house. |

I don't know about the "2003 prices" comment; I'm not seeing that here. But we're in a top school district within walking distance to schools, town, and train; those factors have kept home prices in our town a bit more stable. You can't really lump all the 'burbs together... if you aren't on the train line, even just a town or two away, the prices drop. (Who wants to be stuck in their car all the time?) Or if you go to another school district, home prices can drop. So those may be more of a buyer's market. And regarding the situation with the undisclosed foreclosure... well that's just weird and hopefully an anomaly that has everything to do with the sellers and nothing to do with the location. It seems like there are many homes for rent right now, especially builder spec homes. I would have a hard time buying long distance, so I wonder if renting for awhile and getting a feel for different areas would help. Then you will be close by to see something and pounce on it if it's the right one. (Funny I just saw that maurenemm used the same word.) |

Why does he get a pass for cheating but she doesn't
Jordan Crawford | 1/15/2014, 9:49 a.m.
When it comes to relationships there is no question that men and women live by different codes. Everyone has their different standard of what is acceptable and what is not, what you can forgive and what you can move past. However, cheating is one in which there seems to be some discrepancies.
For quite some time, Americans have functioned in a patriarchal society riddled with double standards that benefit men, especially when it comes to things of a sexual nature. While men are believed to respond to sex physically, women are believed to respond emotionally and are perceived and almost expected to be more faithful.
There are many people that say "cheating" is not the correct term to label unfaithfulness in a boyfriend/girlfriend situation because they are not married.
"Boyfriend or girlfriend is not recognized on a W2 or by God in the bible," said Hampton resident Deshaun Marable. "Interacting with an outside person on an intimate level whether emotionally or physically is merely just breaking a disagreement, a promise."
So, for the sake of this article, let's ignore the term cheating and just focus on being "dishonest" to someone that you claimed you would be honest to.
What is interesting is that according to Marable, many men nowadays are of the mindset that if a woman believes her man is not or has not cheated on her at least once, she is truly in denial. This goes for marriage and boyfriend-and-girlfriend relationships. Could this be? Could there really not be one man out there who is committed to his relationship?
Jalayna Holbrook of Newport News argues that this collective theory of the naturally unfaithful male is bogus.
"No, every man does not cheat. I take major offense to that statement because you're calling my boyfriend and my dad cheaters," she said. "If I found out my boyfriend was cheating or did cheat, he'd be instantly out the picture, but I know I don't have to worry because he's shown me that he is honest and trustworthy and I trust him. Also, I learned everything about how a relationship should go from my parents. My dad adores my mom, I can tell. He'd never do such a thing."
Since the common belief is apparently that all men have cheated or will in the future, how do women respond to the situation? Do they stay or do they automatically leave? Or does it depend on the relationship?
Many marriage counselors say that in marriages where men are unfaithful there is a higher probability that the couple will stay together. Marriage and family therapist Marlene Adams says that while only three in 100 women cheat, it is still more probable that the marriage will crumble.
There is a definite double standard. When men cheat, the woman almost 90 percent of the time forgives him and takes him back, but even if the man suspects that the woman's cheated she is instantly banished.
Kevin Copeland of Hampton nonchalantly described a relationship he is currently in where his wife of over three years now has to live overseas for three months. He admitted that in order to deal with the long time apart he filled it with other women.

This summer I rediscovered my love of scrapbooking.
Maybe it was our trip to Italy.
Maybe it was my accumulation of supplies.
Maybe it was the satisfaction I felt after I finished that first page again.
Whatever it was, I'm glad it's back.
And I'd love to share some of it here :)
(Now I just need to be able to take pictures of my pages while the sun is still up...)
In honor of the start of school, I thought I would share how I've spent my summer.
I miss you.
I really do.
I know you can't tell because I don't call. I don't write. I don't send flowers.
But I think of you. Often. And I wonder how I can rekindle our relationship. I want to share everything with you. And you have helped me to build friendships (Dawn!) that may have otherwise gone overlooked.
But, sadly, technology is both a curse and a blessing. And I teach those who spend more time Google-ing than studying.
And that is where I am stuck. Stuck walking a fine line of freedom and privacy.
Blog, if you can come up with a solution please let me know.
Forever yours,
Little Italy
Dawn and I have been collaborating and are partnering on a blog project. We're both sad that we live so very far apart (2.573 miles, to be exact) so we thought it'd be fun to simultaneously share facts, thoughts, and pictures about us! The catch? You'll have to find my answers over on her blog!
This week I wanted to do a little "Who? What? When? Where? Why?" and how it applies to your favorite hobby. What's your favorite way to enjoy your free time? And why?
Here we go!
I am the Queen of the Snacks. It all started back when I worked in daycare. I became a grazer (and then a good dinner) instead of an eater of three big meals a day. It's modified a bit since then, but I remain a snacker. If you were to dig through my cabinets here, I can almost guarantee you will find all five of these snacks stocked up!
Several years ago, I got myself hooked on Archer Farms Monster Mix from Target. It was becoming an expensive habit, since I was eating it as my mid-morning snack Monday through Friday, so I started buying the ingredients and mixing my own.
Such a good idea! I should start doing the same!!
I try to keep a healthy-ish snack in my lunch bag for those late afternoon munchies. I will also grab a handful to stave off hunger pangs if dinner is taking too long.
I LOVE the cracked pepper ones! They are so addicting!
Oh, come on. There was no way I was making it through this list with mostly healthy snacks! After dinner, I need something sweet. M&Ms are just right and they come in so many flavors! Peanut Butter are my favorite, but Pretzel is a good runner-up, and I often have some other seasonal flavor on deck as well. They are a little palmful of happiness.
You and Mr. Smith would get along so well! He is the exact same. I'm not sure his dinner has even hit his stomach before he is already craving a little chocolate ;)
It gets hot here. And it stays hot here. And sometimes a girl just needs to be cooled off and refreshed.
Love me a popsicle. Yum!
I think these fall somewhere between healthy and not. These serve so many purposes: they fill a salty craving, they are light enough for when I just need to crunch on something but am not starving, they can calm an unhappy tummy. They *must* be the pretzel sticks though. The tiny ones, not the giant ones.
Hmmmmm... I think I need a snack now that I mention it!
Want to know what I had to say? Or how similar our answers are?? You can find out on her blog here. Thanks for playing Dawn!
I promise I have more to say...and I meant to! Until my body was fighting off whatever Mr. Smith has.
Rundown and on the couch is where it's at, yo.
Be back soon!
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and i know what it is to have plenty. I have learned that secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
- Philippians 4:11-13
I've been praying more. Lots of Thank Yous and I Need Yous and Please and Show Me. And an occasional High Five God You're The Best!
"Thank you for all you have blessed me with. I need you to help me through this day. Please guide me to do what's right. Show me how to reflect you to my students."
I've always turned to the bible in a time of need. Usually it was me needing some guidance, a light in the dark. But I found that as soon as the storm had passed, so had my interest in reading about God.
But you know what?
That doesn't sustain you. That doesn't give you peace. That doesn't fuel your hope.
And that's what I've learned recently. That a relationship with Him is worth the time and effort. I mean, I knew that...but I didn't do it. I didn't really know how. Until now. And what a world of difference that has made.
I also found some books.
Draw the Circle - The 40 Day Prayer Challenge
I haven't made it through all 40 days...heck I haven't made it through 10! But you know what? I'm reading and reflecting and believing. And it's helped me to pray. Prayers of supplication. Prayers of forgiveness. And most importantly, prayers of thanksgiving. My favorite part so far? Where he talks about having a prayer journal, a place where you record what you are praying for so you can see God working in your life. A place to record all that you have been blessed with.
The Duck Commander Family
I know, right? But the show is hilarious! And more importantly, their faith is strong. I watch the show and heard about the book and was intrigued. It's really quite good and speaks of their total devotion to faith and family. An added bonus? The recipes. I'll let you know if I ever make any.
Waking up in Heaven
I just recently started reading this based on a recommendation from a good friend. I started reading it that night and was sad when I saw what time it was knowing that I HAD to go to bed. It's really very interesting and relatable. (Well not the dying part, obviously.)
I truly feel that part of the reason why my life has taken such a distinct turn for the better is because I have actively pursued a relationship with God. I am grateful for what I have been given, and just as importantly, what has been taken away. I have taken that step back and realized that it is His doing, not my own, that dictates what path this life will take.
And based on what I've seen so far, it's going to be a good one.
I needed a break.
There was so much going on. ALL. THE. TIME.
And it was good! But I wasn't good. Well...more like I wasn't feeling good.
I was so tired and no amount of sleep was helping. Just run down and beat.
So I took a break.
I rested. And relaxed. And changed my diet, a bit.
And cleaned.
My home and my mind.
And I found space.
Space to breathe.
Space to create.
Space to live. And do so happily.
Space to figure out what I wanted to do with THIS space.
I reflected quite a bit on my One Little Word. Do you remember this?
I realized that I was trying too hard to be something I'm not. I was comparing myself to others and I wasn't matching up. And that is a fun sucker. Seriously.
So I did some reflecting. I decided on authenticity. I decided on quality over quantity. I decided that my life, and those in it, where important and worthy of the best I had to give.
And you know what? Amazing things started to happen! And I can't wait to share them here :)
What's your favorite hobby? I would have to say photography.

15 Minutes of Fame: Wasting no time gaming
David French is a busy guy. Take a glance over his bio: A graduate of Harvard Law School and David Lipscomb University, French serves as senior counsel and director of the university litigation project for a large non-profit legal organization. He is also a captain in the United States Army Reserve and recently returned from a year-long deployment to Iraq with the 2d Squadron, 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment, where he earned a Bronze Star. The former president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, he also taught at Cornell Law School and served as a partner in a large law firm.

There's one more thing that David French's bio doesn't mention: He's cleared the first wing of ICC-10 on two toons, ICC-25 on one and still found time to wipe for hours on Festergut. ("Good times.")
This is the story of how (and why) he does it all.
