You are hereThe Dream Act - Four Bills, One Bad PolicyThere is a lot of merit to the Dream Act. And now we have four versions of the Dream Act to pick from. The newest version, S.3992, fixes many of the objections raised in earlier TexasGOPVote articles. For instance, "Uniformed Service" was changed back to "Armed Forces" after the trick pulled earlier this week and reported here. But the problem with all of these bill's is they do nothing about the root problem, Border Security. Currently American immigration policy and US Border Security are in about the same condition as the Titanic after striking the iceberg. It is broken badly and taking on water at a rapid rate. Why the Dream Act is, in principle, a good idea On the surface, the Dream Act is probably a good idea that should be implemented. The Dream Act applied to the children of illegal aliens. Children are not culpable for the crimes of their parents. This leaves these children in a legal limbo where they haven't willingly broken our laws to get here, but yet, they are still punished for something they had no part in. By law, we have to educate all children in this country, legal or illegal. These children are raised as Americans. We spend nearly $100,000 educating them in our public school system. Many excel in our schools and, given the opportunity, would go on to serve our country well as honest, tax paying workers, given the opportunity. The Dream Act would give them that opportunity. Not by granting them amnesty, but rather, by offering them a pathway to earn legal immigrant status through improving their education or serving our country in the Armed Forces of America. This is good public policy for America as it provides us with more, well educated, workers to be productive tax-payers. It should be noted, the Dream Act does not grant citizenship on anyone. It provides a temporary legal status. And, after completing the requirements, it allows them to become Legal Permanent Residents. From there, they must go through the same naturalization process as any other legal immigrant. This version of the bill also removes the privilege of In-State Tuition that was to be granted in previous versions of the act. Why this is a bad idea right now There are several reasons why we should not pass the Dream Act as it is currently written.
This is not a crisis that must be dealt with before January 2nd, 2011. The Democrats had all of last year and much of this year where they could have passed this legislation with no Republican support whatsoever. And clearly, they could have passed it this year, had they allowed Republicans to actually participate in actually drafting and amending the Act to fix objectionable sections of the Act. For whatever reason, apparently they did not want to pass it so they blocked out Republican participation and tied the bills to other liberal/socialist agenda items like abortion on demand at military bases and "don't ask, don't tell" amendments that they knew would fuel Republican objection to the Dream Act. It is time to stop playing games with these children and this issue. Urge your senators to vote against all four versions of the Dream Act this month and then draft new and better legislation to address these issues in the new Congress in January. The duck is tired. Let him retire in peace. Pass legislation necessary to the functioning of the government until January. Leave major policy decisions to the new Congress. Posted under:

Thank you for this thoughtful post. I agree with you that the DREAM Act makes sense and for that reason I think it should be enacted. Responding to your concerns:* Border Security. I agree that we need to fix our entire immigration system, but it's not fair to ask DREAM Act students to wait for relief until that happens. Yes, more DREAM Act students will continue to be created until the system is fixed, including sufficient border and interior security. But saying that we shouldn't grant relief until that happens is like saying that we shouldn't tend to wounded civilians until the war is over.* Loopholes. Any law like this has to have some "loopholes" to allow the immigration enforcers to show mercy when a provision leads to unintended consequences. The waiver you quote is a good example of that. It applies only to the following requirements: (1) communicable diseases of public health significance; (2) public charge (poverty and need for public benefits); and (3) people who have violated their visas for various reasons, such as failure to attend a removal proceeding. It makes sense and is humane to have some kind of waiver available for these requirements.* Precedent. The students in question are not responsible for the disfunctionality of our current system and shouldn't be required to pay a penalty just because Congress is only now getting around to this vote. We shouldn't allow the messiness of politics to stand in the way of legislation that you characterize as "good public policy for America as it provides us with more, well educated, workers to be productive tax-payers."Thanks for listening. over-population of colleges

"The government estimated Monday that the country's population grew to
somewhere between roughly 306 million and 313 million over the last
decade" there is NO pressing need for a bigger, more crowded, densely populated U.S. than we already have, there is NO need to discriminate against the children of American citizens, and replacing hard to get openings in tier 1 universities and colleges with children of people who broke U.S. immigration law, when they cheated and jumped in front of everyone else in the world waiting to get here. The only "dysfunctionality" as you put it, lies in the country of mexico, which is so corrupt and broken, that it drives it citizens to other countries. mexico seems to treat its own citizens like some kind of corn or soybean commodity to be "exported." All immigration laws should be obeyed, and enforced, and if enforced, perhaps it would force mexico to straighten up it's own country and build an economy that works. Question: why does canada seem to have a healthy economy? canada already has mexico mad at it, because in canada, they have the unmitigated gal to enforce their PROPER immigration channels and laws. This has infuriated mexico and slowed down the flow considerably of mexicans into canada. So, you tell me why canada has it's act together, while mexico seems to only increase in murders per capita, as opposed to creating jobs for it's own people? And perhaps you can tell me why one ethnic group in particular, gets to be rewarded with entrance into American colleges after breaking the law? If my kids do something illegal or cause damage, I as a parent am legally responsible for the harm they cause. Why should one ethnic group in particular get a pass on legal and financial responsibility of the parent? STAR: Stregth To America Resoulution

I'm a Republican. I'm a twenty year Marine Infantry veteran. I'm for a strong United States of America second to none. We Republicans are fools if we continue to turn our backs on these great kids who should not be punished for the sins of their parents. I know I am thankful that my kids aren't and I'm sure your kids are glad they are not punished because of your sins/crimes. As such, we have kids who are making 5's on their AP exams, over 1,000 on their SAT exams and who are getting degrees from four year universities and yet we are cowards for not engaging that loyal, taxpaying potential. These exceptional kids want to serve "their country" but yet can't! This is insane. Secure the border! Punish the employers with $100,000 fine "PER ILLEGAL" and five years in prison! But these young Americans who have been here need to be brought fully into the fold so that we as a country can bennefit from them. Think strategically! 308 million Americans vs 1,400 million (1.4 billion) chinese. That is our real competition so let's enlist the 2,000,000 American kids into the fight! WAKE UP AMERICA! |

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
WHY WE LOVE IT Inspired by the classic ballerina bun, this ultra-chic top knot is strong and sexy.
HOW TO DO IT 1. To achieve a sleek look, dampen hair from roots to ends with a frizz-fighting mousse. 2. Smooth strands back into a high ponytail on top of the head and secure with an elastic. 3. Wind the ponytail into a knot that's shaped in an oval, not a circle. "This softens the overall look," says Hilary Duff's stylist, Marcus Francis.

My fiance and I bought this ring for him for our wedding. We received it in only 5 days and we couldn't be more satisfied. We were worried about Titanium quality but this picture doesn't give this ring justice! It is gorgeous and the diamonds sparkle as nicely as my Leo Diamonds in my engagement ring! Excellent buy for an excellent ring!
loved it! very solid yet extremely comfy. my husband is ecstatic. looks like we spent a fortune.
my husband was so happy with my purchase he loves the ring it looks exactly like the picture if you like this please get it, you will not be sorry :)
The ring is very nice and is ideal for a man who is not gentle with rings. I wear it daily without fear of damage. The three stones really gives it that special look
I recently bought this ring for the man in my life--we received it and we were both soo pleased! It's gorgeous! Great buy too! I highly recommend.
This ring is formal enough, but casual enough, and can be worn for many events... even non-events. I like it and wear it on different fingers with the diamonds up or down depending on my mode. I like it!
We recieved this ring. It was beautiful but the ring was too big so I had to exchange it.
Do not like the way is presented. Looks cheap and it is going to fall off
I would order a size smaller than I measure due to the type of ring, I found this would have prevented me from having to order a second one. Supplier was good at returning the original. Shipped fast!
2 of the gems are missing. I don't know when or how they fell off, but I came back and read that other people had the same problem. Fairly upsetting and shows poor craftsmanship. Wonderful design initially, but... you know. Losing precious gems really hits that score pretttty hard.

Does anyone have an Employee Attitude Survey they are willing to share?
Thanks in advance.
Dawn Durkin
The problem with attitude surveys
Hi DawnI am sure you will get a lot of offer for this one however please consider the desired outcome first.
Do you want to KNOW what the feelings are in the organisation or do you want to be SEEN taking an interest?
What are the reasons for you to be exploring attitude?What are the signs you are currently experiencing?What will the reaction be to certain questions? (Risk analysis)What are you going to do with the answers?How will you communicate the results to staff?What if management do not like what they hear?
Looking at attitude in a call centre requires a different set of questions from that of a professional service or a manufacturing organisation. The method of asking the questions (electronic or paper) will change the type of questions asked (people react differently to the two mediums).
Have you considered using commercial tools for benchmarking – Q12 from Gallup or tools from the other large market research organisations?
If taking the time and money to look at attitude, would it be of value using the opportunity to look at other factors, satisfaction, effectiveness and perceptions of management etc at the same time?
Most staff surveys and attitude surveys lead to little of no change action, or they make the situation worse.
For this type of survey to work and add value a number of things need to happen:1) clear goals2) buy-in from the top3) commitment to action on the results4) use of change management principles in the introduction and management of the whole process5) a commitment to make difficult decisions if the need arises6) being willing to share results with staff
Happy to talk more off lineGood luck with your projectMikehttp://www.rapidbi.com/bir
I have a good one
Staff surveys
I think Mike has made some very good points that are worth taking note of, especially what are you going to ddo if you get answers you don't like. His other point about different questions for different environments is also very true.If you would like to look at a survey where you design the questions yourself and they are framed only in the positive, please contact me by e-mail
Political dimensions of using attitude surveys
Adding to Mike's comments: always remember that surveys have a political dimension in any organisation. It is sooooo important that there is buy-in from 'the top'; otherwise you may end up as a scape goat if the messages from the survey are uncomfortable.

Many thanks to Pekko Teas to their very generously sized sample and offer!* It's been awhile since I've had Bai Mu Dan/White Peony straight, back when I was exploring as many different grades and varieties of white tea mostly from Upton. It's not something I would have picked out for myself now, but I'm glad for the opportunity all the same. I am always struck by the diversity of color, size and full/brokeness of the leaf. There are a few vibrant unfurled green leaves, many silver buds and lots of brown, olive and grey withered chopped up leaves.
I find White Peony to be both ugly and beautiful and am admittedly spoiled by whole leaf tea most of the time. This being said I do enjoy the herbaceous and woody personality Bai Mu Dan has compared to delicate Silver Needle. They remind me a bit of Darjeeling (and that's the exact same reaction my friend had with this, her first White Peony) which also has a wonderful mix of color, but I find the company's comparison to Keemun interesting, I've only had one unblended Keemun before so I can't really speak to that, but I do get jammy.
I'm going to hold off on rating this one until I've had it a second time. I just guess I have a hard time seeing peony as a "luxury" tea and have a hard time justifying the price. but I don't want to give it a low rating based on my bias. Still nice tea all the same!

Learning Humility, Not Guilt
By Ken Huey | Added October 22
Below I am posting a letter from a Calo parent. She shares some of her feelings on the treatment process and what it is like to parent a child with a traumatic history and corresponding emotional and behavioral problems. In her own words: Lately, I have been spending time on the Attachment and Trauma Network (ATN) web site, where I listened to a radio interview with Nancy Spoolstra, ATNs founder, as a build-up to a 2007 conference on parenting traumatized children.
Much of the content of the interview was familiar, but I liked hearing it broken down for the layman, so to speak. In addition, some of what was said reminded me of the lessons I am only just learning or have yet to learn. Nancy described how oftentimes our kids at an early age appear to merely be strong-willed children, and that we parents lack the frame of reference for what is really going on. I recall that when my troubled (and troubling) children were little I read a range of books from Dobsons Dare to Discipline to How To Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk. I still think there was much of value in those books, but none addressed the hardwiring issue that seems to be manifest in many of our RAD or traumatized children. So I spent years of frustration trying one technique after another and spending thousands on counseling and psychotherapy; and feeling worse about myself and my ability to parent. The message I had internalized was that by loving them enough and by setting up the structures around them, my kids should be fine. The fact that they werent fine reflected badly on me. The bottom line was that for a variety of reasons both biochemical and psychological my kids were unwilling to be parented. The normal reciprocity and safety of a child/caregiver relationship had broken down. The loss and grief issues they were experiencing had not been addressed, but rather had crystallized into an attitude of being the only ones looking out for themselves. They were unfamiliar with and resistant to intimacy. As our children get older the stakes get higher. As teens they are much smarter and more mobile than hard-to-manage toddlers! And thus they are able to get into more dangerous and unhealthy situations. Our RAD teens are able to push all the right buttons to manipulate us and push us away as a survival mechanism, but it is one that ultimately turns against them. We parents then scramble to try to get them the age-appropriate help they need and to keep our families safe at the same time. We must learn to parent with love and logic, as Spoolstra says. But and this really stuck with me we also have to put the burden of responsibility on the child. Our children might decide to work through their issues, but our kids need to be willing to risk it. I am grateful that today I have the resources to help me understand and deal with my familys reality, and to offer my children tools for healing some of their pain. My hope is that they will begin to face their future with confidence and optimism. But I now realize that so much of what has happened, along with the current emotional life of my hurt children, is beyond my control. I am not immune from sometimes feeling overwhelming guilt especially when blamed by others. However, I am humbled knowing that I am only one of the players in this drama, that I am still learning my role, and that I must turn to others for insight and support. - Susan H., Calo parent

It's a toss-up between Shlomo and Lankri. I think, although not sure yet, that Ofri is already the better player.
Going by the rankings the Thai 10K is much harder, but those Far East rankings are often skewed (India being a prime example, but Japan is not far behind), so I guess both tournaments are pretty much the same level.
Therefore I'll stick to Keren after all, because she's doing a bit better in doubles than in singles so there's a definite chance this will be the decider.
P.S. Ofri even being an option this week must have been a 91st minute decision - she's nowhere to be found on the acceptance lists of Istanbul. Seeded #1 in qualies and then #4 in the MD
For this kind of tournament, she's probably a hot commodity (in terms of crowd interest)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 13, 2007 Contact: Don Cookson 207-626-8404
Augusta - The Joint Standing Committee on State and Local Government voted in favor of Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap's nomination of David R. Cheever to the position of State Archivist today. Secretary Dunlap was quick to express his satisfaction with the Committee's work. "I thank the members of this Committee for their vigorous participation in the review process relating to my selection for this important post. I am convinced Mr. Cheever will prove to be exactly what the Archives need - a focused, energetic leader, with broad experience and a strong vision for the future of this most important of State resources." Dunlap continued, "As this hearing began, I fully expected the Committee to make the right decision based solely on the merits of my nominee, and that is precisely what the Committee has done."
Numerous supporters offered strong testimony detailing their approval of Cheever's nomination during the confirmation hearing, which concluded this morning after being carried over from Tuesday. "It's very gratifying to be approved by the Committee in this process," said Cheever. "To see the community leaders from around the State who agreed with Secretary Dunlap's selection of me, and to know I have received the backing of not just the Secretary of State, but also a majority of the Joint Standing Committee on State and Local Government, is especially energizing. I look forward to the Senate confirmation process and to serving the State of Maine in this new role."
Cheever, an Augusta resident who currently serves as the Executive Director of the Maine Cultural Affairs Council, was recommended for confirmation by the Committee by an 8 to 5 vote. His nomination will now go before the full Senate for final confirmation.

I am removing the paint from around the front door of my house. As I get closer and closer to the stationary windows on the sides and top, I'm trying to figure out how to proceed.
1) Were these window panes likely inserted like the sash panes, with metal triangles and thus removable? A couple of them could benefit from having the glazing compound replaced, so removing some of the panes is an option that would allow me to get in there and heat/scrape/sand. 2) For panes I would rather work around, such as the transom window, is there a heat shield of some type that I could put on the glass? I have deflectors for my heat gun, but I was wondering whether aluminum foil or something like that might help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The heat gun will loosen the glazing as well as the paint. Yes, they likely have the triangles. Find them all, or risk breaking the glass when trying to remove. Hard to avoid heating up the glazing on the transom window. Might as well remove all the window panes and do a thorough job. Use new triangles (points) and instead of the usual glazing, use 30 year caulk. Clean up the rabbit with sand paper and thinner. Apply caulk in the rabbit, lay the glass in, insert new points, and bed the glass in. After it dries apply a 2nd bead of caulk around the edges. The right scraper to fair the caulking is critical, see link for example. Don't worry about excess caulk until everything is dry. It is then easily removed with a razor to cut the edges and a glass scraper. Prime with oil based primer, paint, all done, and better than new! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Example of appropriate size caulk scraper
Why 30 year caulk in place of glazing compound? I'm not confident I can get the right look with caulk. The caulk in these windows is inside, not outside. Does that make a difference? |

No, I wouldn't use caulk, especially anything with silicone in it. You should use a good kind of glazing compound such as Sarco. Are you in a cold climate? Because if so. you might want to defer until next spring as it takes a longish time (weeks in cool fall weather) for the glazing compound to dry enough to be paintable. This is a problem for fixed, built-in panes - at least with sash or storm windows, you can bring them in at night and keep them in a warm dry place to accelerate the drying as much as practical. L. |
"Are you in a cold climate? Because if so. you might want to defer until next spring as it takes a longish time (weeks in cool fall weather) for the glazing compound to dry enough to be paintable." Exactly. Hence, the 30 year caulk, which is far easier to fair than glazing compound, and will last as long as the compound, if not longer. |
I am in Virginia. Fortunately the glazing compound is on the inside, so the dry time will not interfere with the outside work. |

I have always found it interesting that sidelites are just as often as not glazed from inside (as they are on my own house) as from without. The only explanation I can come up with apart from appearance is that it's more of an impediment to the sneak thief who could (for a few years' time) carve out the soft putty silently removing a pane of glass and unlocking the door. Pity the thief who attempts that with ancient rock hard putty. Casey |

Hey, ALL!!!
I found a great tool! I bought a cordless hedge trimmer! It works great for topping small plots. I hope you can have the same joy I had trimming the "nasty's" out of your small plots and it makes for a grrreat day, given good weather. I use it on that pokeweed too! Check it out; it cost me abt $79! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have been using one since this summer. It is very useful and easier to operate than gas powered trimmers. The only down sides are that the batteries only last about 30-40 minutes and the trimmer can't handle anything that is too thick or too tough. I bought a second battery to extend the amount of time I can use the trimmer in a given day. |

Am Lara i am hear to give testimony of how i got back my husband, we got married for more than 5 years and have gotten two kids. thing were going well with us and we are always happy. until one day my husband started to behave in a way i could not understand, i was very confused by the way he treat me and the kids. later that month he did not come home
again and he called me that he want a divorce, I asked him what have i done wrong to deserve this from him, all he was saying that he want a divorce and that he hates me and do not want to
see me again in his life, i was mad and also frustrated do not know what to do,i was sick for more than 2 weeks because of the divorce. i love him so much he was everything to me without him my life is incomplete. i told my sister and she told me to contact a spell caster, i never believe in all this spell casting of a thing. i just
want to try if something will come out of it. I contacted Dr ojuku for the return of my husband to me, they told me that my husband have been taken by another woman that she cast a spell on him that is why he hates me and also want us to divorce. then they told me that they have to cast a spell on him that will make him return to me and the kids, they cast the spell and after 3 days my husband called me
and he told me that i should forgive him, he settled to apologize on phone and said that he still love me that he did not know what happen to
him that he left me. it was the spell that the Dr ojuku shrine castes on him that made him comeback to me today,me and my family are now
happy again today. thank you Dr ojuku for what you have done for me i would have been nothing today if not for your great spell. i want
you my friends who are passing through this kind of love problem of getting back their husband, wife , or ex boyfriend and girlfriend to contact email him now ;firstname.lastname@example.com and you will see that your problem will be solved. All thanks to Dr ojuku Regard.
.Good Luck………… -

Am just short of words just confused and so happy don't know how to
start, I never believed that a straight forward spell caster still exist on the
internet, After i have been scammed by lots of fake spell caster with
lies i never believed i would ever meet a spell caster that will ever
bring back Dennis to my arms again after 1 year of break up i could
not leave without him, i was so sad and unhappy even lost my job because
i was not concentrating anymore, i was always thinking of him, Then i came in
contact with this God sent Dr aluda, Who has brought back happiness that
left me for 1 solid year when i told him my problem he laughed and
said everything would be okay within 5 days, i was like hmmm is this
real, So i decided to give it a try, 4 days after i was shocked when i got a
call from Dennis crying that he was sorry for what he has done to me i
was so happy and a cry of joy fell of my eye's. Dennis came over to my
place and now we are together he can't do without seeing me for just a
second all thanks and adoration goes to Dr aluda for what he has
done for me. Please don't contact other spell caster online that are there to
add pain to your life just contact Dr aluda on is email
Dennis Trisha by name -
i am really short of words, can't finally believe i got my boyfriend back this is my testimony about the man that brought back my man. Priest Andrew, he gave me the heart and confident to trust in him within the period of 4days, and right now me and my boyfriend are living happily and getting very ready and set for our wedding, i am so much happy knowing full well there are real, true spell casters who can really make things happen within the shortest possible time. for help you can reach him on firstname.lastname@example.com
I love my mother in law. We didn't get along at first because me and her son were young and dumb- trouble together. We grew up and had our son who is 8 now. And i guess she appreciates that i dont treat him bad. Anyways, she just sent me a text that said "congrats on lil man getting honor roll: your doing a great job with him." That made me feel good because not many people realize/ recognize when you have worked hard with your child compared to others around (meaning my sisters' kids).
I tried harder with his mom, family, and friends to get along than I have with any others in my life. Its hard because everything can seem critical or passive-aggressive: just have to remember that it is just like your mom telling you or talking with you about something. You married his family just as he did yours.
It helps to remind yourself that these people love your hubby and your child and want the best for them, so everytime you get frustrated or feel attacked- remind yourself that you want your love and child to have as many people in their life as possible that love them.
Also remember this is an extension of them- their child and their grandchild: as much as you care about your son/daughter- they care about their son/daughter and their grandchild the same! Married people divorce when love dries up or love is no longer enough, whereas a love for a child and grandchild doesn't change. Its also worth mentioning, how you treat your mother in law will probably influence how you treat/interact with your child's spouse in the future.
Coming between a man and his mother is not the way to go. No matter how much you tell yourself that it is her fault or its your hubby's choice, it will not matter because you will bare the blame.
Think of all they say as advice not aggression. There is a difference between suggestions and requirements. Find a way to deal with it and dont be afraid to say "no or we decided to try this, etc."
Example: my mil said they will buy my son a brand new car at 16. I said you can buy it because its your right but he wont be driving it as his first car. We will buy him a cheap car first because statistics say he will ruin it the first year. Also he can have a brand new car at graduation but not before. We have many reasons for it but mostly because he needs to learn that luxury is earned not given. If she buys a new car at 16 it will sit in a garage for a year and a half. If he gets caught being irresponsible in a car he will never get it while living w/ me. She seemed to think i was joking but appears to understand now.
If your child is safe with your in laws- thats whats important. Just make sure they agree not to go against your authority as parent.
She must know a decent amount and have some parenting wisdom because she raised the best man in the world. I fell in love with him so she did something right.
You are a very wise DIL. You do marry each others family whether some what to admit it or not. I always expected to have this great relationship with a DIL since my son is an only child. I thought it would be great to have someone to go shopping with or just be. When I was married, I never tried to stand between my husband and his family. In fact, I insisted that he spend time when we visited (we live out of state). I didn't care much for the ILs, but I never disrespected them. I truly liked his dad because he reminded me of my dad. SILs and BILs were a different story. One SIL told me that I thought I was better than them because "you're educated." I had no idea what she meant. I graduated high school and she did not.
I am so happy to let the whole world know how this powerful spell caster saved my marriage. Everything was going down
the drain as my husband can not stop cheating on me with other women.He became used to always heating on me. I tried
to make him stop, but I couldn't help the situation, the more I tried, the harder it becomes. At times we will fight
and go apart for some months and we will come back again just because of our kids. One day a friend told me about this
spell caster who helped her too, his name is Dr.Osaze she said he uses white magic spells to solve spiritual problems.
I decided to give it a try, I contacted him and he told me it will take just 2 to 3 days and I will see great changes
in my husband. He actually cast a spell, believe me after 2 to 3 days of the spell, my husband was confessing
different names of woman he has slept with. He begged for forgiveness and never to try it again. From that day till
now, my mind is at rest. My husband dislike every other women on earth except me And am so happy to have him for
myself alone. Contact him today via:email@example.com
i am into my leave my man alone kit/dual casting with Dr AGBON. firstname.lastname@example.com and today he emailed me out of the blue. this is on the 5th day of the 1st spell and he is already contacting me. wow, i was starting to think i was beating a dead horse since i have heard from him in 1 month. thank you so much, i can not wait to start the love me again dual casting. the incense and oil smell very good. thank you for helping me. i am going to recommend your service to my friends. thank you again and thank you papa Dr AGBON…
My mother-in-law is AWFUL. I know he's your son, but newsflash: a mother's love just isn't enough after a certain age…adulthood! You're not number one anymore.
Jessica Franklin
Mine's is a lying, two faced manipulative b*tch who brainwashed all of her children to worship her and outcast their dad (and me). Funny thing is not one of her beloved children helped her with chores around the house, only me. And did I ever so much as get a thank you or even acknowledgement? Never, she just found me another task or began complaining about one of her million ailments or retelling stories of how she has been wronged in the past by her inlaws. She also enjoyed badmouthing my parents and warning me never to tell my husband or anyone and that I should keep my heartache to myself. Anyway, I am rid of her but still married and I know it hurts my husband that he is distancing himself from her but he was forced to choose between me and them. I know he secretly blames me and sometimes regrets marrying me but that is just a buden we will have to live with. I doubt she'll ever change or admit fault as she is too stubborn and pig headed (as are her other offspring). Feel sorry for the FIL who must loathe her, she even drove a wedge between him and me.
My boyfriend's mother has been sending the most passive aggressive messages on my facebook wall since we moved in together like "you mean you're not cooking?" when I simply mentioned a restaurant in the area…or my favorite: "mama bear's got claws." He is almost 27 years old. He just moved out of her home and in with me, but I don't think that is any excuse for this type of controlling behavior. She's even on his bank account. I actually feel bad for him, since I don't see how she could trust him if this is the way she protects him. After looking through these comments and seeing so many that end with "at least we're divorced now". I'm very worried. Is there anyone out there that has had a terrible relationship with a MIL (since the beginning) but still has a happy marriage? (side note: this seems to be somewhat of a theme for all guys I've dated)

sister…..your man is not a man…he's aman child. gal below me is right..RUN.
Here's an update: She got way worse. But it's actually brought me and him closer together. He's sick of her controlling him and now every time she says something to him or me it's just uniting us even more. And at this point he tells me not even to respond, and he's selective when he does. He always tells me that the only opinion regarding our relationship we should care about is each others. We're not engaged quite yet, but yeah, all of her efforts to pull us apart are completely backfiring. So hopefully this is at least one happy ending.
She actually seemed to be fine until she was told that that if he wasn't going to marry me, he wouldn't still be with me. That's when it all hit the fan. And when she told me that I should still trust my own mother more than him even AFTER he and I get married was when I realized she was crazy. (My own mother supports us and me trusting him more than anyone else, btw) (why are mothers of women so much saner than mothers of men?)
Red flags. Red flags, everywhere. A man's relationship with his mother is a very good indicator of what his relationship will be like with his wife, so keep that in mind.
The thing is, I think the way he treats his mother shows that he WILL treat me well. He did so much for her his whole life. And he still would like to, but he's speaking to her less because of how she is speaking about me. I know what a rarity it is for a situation to be all one person, but seriously, that seems to be what it is here. He tried, but if she's rude about me, he's not going to take it.
My name is Anastasia, am from New York (usa). i want to use this opportunity to thank my great doctor who really made my life a pleasurable one today. This great DR.SAMBOLA brought my husband back to me, i had 2 lovely kids for my husband, about 3 years ago i and my husband has been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me for one lady. i felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. i tried to be strong just for the kids but i could not control the pains that torments my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because i was really in love with my husband. Every day and night i think of him and always wish he would come back to me, until one day i met a good friend of mine that was also in a situation like me but her problem was her ex-boyfriend who she had an unwanted pregnancy for and he refused to take responsibility and dumped her. she told me that mine was a small case and that i shouldn't worry about it at all so i asked her what was the solution to my problems and she gave me this great man phone number and his email address. i was doubting if this man was the solution, so i contacted this great man and he told me what to do and i did them all, he told me to wait for just two days and that my husband will come crawling on his kneels just for forgiveness so i faithfully did what this great man asked me to do and for sure after two days i heard a knock on the door, in a great surprise i saw him on his kneels and i was speechless, when he saw me, all he did was crying and asking me for forgiveness, from that day, all the pains and sorrows in my heart flew away, since then i and my husband and our lovely kids are happy. That's why i want to say a big thank you to DR.SAMBOLA. This great man made me to understand that there's no problem on earth that has no solution so please if you know that you have this same problem or any problem that is similar, i will advise you to come straight to this great man. you can email him at email@example.com

I just had to post! The painter is finishing up the kitchen painting and after all my woes over finding the right paint I have to shout it out that this paint colour is everything I had hoped it would be. It's gray, but not. It's taupe, but not. It's purplish, but not! It's deep enough that I'm sure my granite will POP, but light enough that with the dark brown cabinets it won't look like a cave.
I can hardly wait till the cabinets come in on Wednesday. Everything finally feels like it is coming together. :) I can now relate to the giddiness of I'm sure every single person before me who sees the end in sight! |

Seriously, I was just going to post the same thing. Pics and that is an order missy |
Sorry, I guess that is such a tease! Picture coming....as soon as I find the camera. It's MIA! I know it's here, just not sure which pile it's buried under. |
Yay! I'm glad you like it! It's really beautiful... we have 2 rooms painted with Silver Fox and Abalone throughout the rest of the main floor! It's amazing how much the color can change depending on the time of day! Can't wait to see pics! |
Yep, gotta see pics!! :) I know just what you mean about agonizing over paint! I finally found one also - I wonder if it's similar to the Silver Fox. It's called Passive by SW and I feel the same way about it - depends on the lighting as to exactly what color it looks like. I can't wait to see your photo to compare! Sounds as if yours may be slightly darker. The Passive looks primarily gray, but sometimes has hints of blue or violet - it looks very light in this photo because of all the sun shining in (and there's currently just one coat on). |
I love to hear good color tips! THanks for the post! Some colors really do work so beautifully. Can't wait to see this one! |
Well, these may not be the best of photos, taken at 6:00 pm, but it does give a hint of how it will come together with the floor (not grouted yet) & the closed door which is the existing doors & trim in the rest of the house and what will be almost identical stain on the kitchen cabinets. One that catches the ceiling paint too. South Window Wall & West Wall corner. I had intended the rad to be painted out the wall colour, but I wasn't around when the painter started it and he painted it the trim colour. It was my fault as I didn't tell him ahead of time, and it had previously been painted to match the previous trim. I'm fine with it either way. |
janie-k: Do you happen to have any photos posted of your Abalone. I'd love to see it. I was thinking of using it in the DR/LR (once I recover a bit from the kitchen reno. Traci: for some reason your photo doesn't show up for me, can you try posting it again? It does feel good to finally find the right colour doesn't it? I know we had both been struggling with sample pots! ebse: In the photos above,the Silver Fox appears quite gray, but when the sun hits it it is a beautiful silvery gray, and the corners are quite taupe,yet it also manages to pick up hint of purple in the veins of the Bianco Romano Granite. I'm also thrilled with how it enhances the gray in the walnut glazed white floor tiles. :) |
katienic: Your paint color is gorgeous! I'm a big fan of grey and brown together, and I particularly like that shade of stain that you've chosen. How exciting to see things finally coming together! |

Yeah katie! Yet another great design idea I'll have to bookmark! Thanks for posting this. I'm going to be looking for a grayish taupeish warm side of cool color paint that'll go with gray leather, creams, medium dark wood tones, a red birch wood. Ya' just may have saved me alot of heartache! |
pattyk: Thanks. It did take an awful lot of testing pots (none which were really working) and in the end it was laxsupermom (THANK YOU!) who pointed me in the direction of Silver Fox. The rich dark stain is the original doors & trim to the house built in 1949. Between the double french doors flanked by stained glass windows leading to the back patio, these wonderful double panel interior wood doors & the equally impressive 8" deep baseboards I fell in love with this little bungalow within 15 seconds of being inside. We've been living with the dated kitchen for almost 8 years and I can hardly wait to have my dream kitchen finished. |
remodelfla: As mentioned above, we have laxsupermom to thank for this perfect combination. Since my Bianco Romano granite has both cream & gray in it I give Silver Fox a resounding yes to fit your requirements. BTW, the wood does have a slight redish cast in certain lights. |
Sorry Katie - I don't know what happened with the photo! It was showing up in the preview but then disappeared. Anyway, here it is again. You're right, the Silver Fox is gorgeous! I think it's a bit darker and possibly a bit more taupe, while mine seems to have more blue tones. It looks as if it's going to be great in your kitchen - I can't wait to see the finished product! Our house is also older (about 1939), but we don't have that beautiful stained woodwork unfortunately. |
Katie that color was worth the agony...it's perfect! Can't wait to see more pics of the completed project! Traci, have they done your floors yet? Kat :) |
Kat - funny you asked, since I was just telling my husband that I just want to hurry up and get the floors done. Not just to finish the kitchen, but because I'm tired of dreading the process of packing up everything in the house and moving out for at least a week! I just know it's going to be such a pain, so now want to get it over with! But I am tired of looking at the floors as they are right now :) |

Yay! The color looks great! It's funny that Silver Fox was THE ONE because we're not at the sample pot stage, yet, but I know I'll be coming home with at least a zillion and probably posting for color help here. |
traci: My thoughts as soon as I saw your photo was that it gives such a wonderful sense of calm to your room. your SW Passive is aptly named. Beautiful choice! Your kitchen is going to be absolutely stunning. I envy you your ceiling & wonderful windows that let in so much light, and probably most of all I'm positively 'green' (in the most positive way!) over the amount of space you have. Kat: I'm so looking forward to the completion, and I know I'm one of the lucky ones that will (knock on wood)have mine completed in 5 weeks from demo to working kitchen. supermom: Thanks again for the tip toward the SF. It really is pretty. I 'predict' you will get it right on the first go round! Oh, and just to give everyone a look-see of the difference between the Silver Fox and Revere Pewter which had been what I was planning to use (except once I put up the sample the greenish tinge was bugging me)here is a photo showing a spot where the baseboard will cover that I had previously tried it out. It works, but the SF works oh so much better! Silver Fox on Top/Revere Pewter Below. And I realized on my first post that I had repeated one of the photos instead of picking up on the west wall (sink window) |
Traci29, I love Passive by SW. Do you have a lot of lighting I also like Silver Fox but the Passive might be better in I am driving everyone insane because I am going to repaint Thanks for sharing you paint choices. |

"just not sure which pile it's buried under" you were looking for your camera IN MY house? lol! wow - that's incredibly beautiful for a 'grey'! I wouldn'ta thunk it! just the 'right' shade/hue etc sure makes the difference, doesn't it? sigh... guess I should plan to be pickier than 'it's in the general area of the color'...lol! the few minutes I spent at the HD paint center almost did me in... and I've got 9 rooms to figure out (several may end up the same). lol! depends on how I survive cabinets, counter top, handles etc! |
katienic, Here is a picture of our living room painted with the Abalone. Sorry the picture isn't very good but it's a rainy day here and I didn't want to use the flash and mess up the color tones. The close-up is Abalone against the Ben Moore White Dove(on the mantle). I tried the silver fox in this room and decided we didn't have enough light to pull it off... but everything reads really dark in this house... I used the silver fox in the adjacent den and love it too! Ignore the mantle decorations... we are still unpacking and I just keep throwing stuff up there if I have no place to put it :) |
boxerpups: I was preparing myself to repaint even before the painter started to apply the SF. I was so afraid I had picked wrong & that it might be too dark. Thank goodness it turned out so very well. desertsteph: It was a good job I had used the camera within the last few days or else it would have been even harder to locate. Previously I lived with the wrong colour on the walls for 4 years so this time I was extra paranoid over my pick. Thanks janie-k: It is very pretty. My DR/LR doesn't get a lot of light but the Abalone may be light enough to work for me there. |
Thanks, Katie! I think you made a great decision with the Silver Fox paint also - your kitchen is going to be gorgeous. I hope the Passive paint helps me feel relaxed -I need it - haha! I'm so ready to have this remodeling nightmare over after dealing with it for well over a year (counting working with the architect, getting approval from the historic commission, and going on 8 months of actual construction). I want my life back :) I am excited due to the fact that granite was just installed today, so here's another photo from a different angle! Ignore the mess - things are still all over the place and the cabinets still have a lot of work to be done on them. And it's funny that you can't really tell from the photo, but the silver pendant lights over the sink are wrapped in Saran wrap - I was irritated that my husband had the contractor install them already since they will get all dusty and dirty, so I wrapped them up! :) Boxerpups - I love the SW Passive (after also debating forever about colors), but it probably depends on the other colors you have in the space. For example, it's considered a neutral color, but is a cool color with bluish undertones, while I think the Silver Fox is warmer. We do have a lot of lighting in the kitchen, both natural and from fixtures. There are 5 windows total on 3 sides of the kitchen, so the paint usually looks even lighter than it is - there is also just one coat right now, so it may look slightly different once the second is finally on - we're just waiting until the very end since I know it will be immediately ruined during the rest of the construction! Good luck with your choice! |
Sorry to hi-jack but Janie and Katie I think I may have to re-think my bedroom and go with Abalone or SF! I won't break that news to my husband for a few more days though! Traci...create another post so we can properly rave about that granite girl!!! Congrats it looks wonderful and I know how excited you must be! Kat :) |
Kat - I'll post more photos of the granite in a new thread once I can take better ones :) Katie - can't wait to see your cabinets in! You said that they will be dark, right? I love dark stained cabinets and almost went with that, but called the cabinet maker and changed to white paint right before he started staining them! Only because I'm also dying to have really dark floors, so was afraid it would just be too much. I compromised with the dark stained island :) |
Traci: oh my...I promise not to whine over my 5 week renovation! If I had white cabs I'd want to go with the cooler gray/blue also, and add the sparkle of the silver pendants. I agree with Kat, Give on the details...What is your granite? |
Katie - you're allowed to whine as much as you want because ANY remodeling is a pain to deal with, no matter how smoothly it goes :) And mine is slightly different in that it includes more than a kitchen, although we didn't expect it to still be in progress for quite so long! Should have been 5-6 months, but for various reasons is dragging and dragging! The worst part is that while you see the new kitchen, the old one still has to be demolished - yikes!!! Of course, that's good in that we haven't been totally without a kitchen for 8 months, but bad due to another mess coming soon along with floors stained. But anyway, enough about that - I could go on and on :) The granite on the perimeter is Cambrian black antique finish and the island is Persian Pearl antique. I promise I'll post some better photos in another thread in a day or so - hopefully you'll be posting your cabinet photos at about the same time! |
Hi Katie - was just thinking about you since you said your cabinets were going in today! Are they being installed right now??!! Can you tell how impatient I am? Haha! |
Yes, we demand pics...tell those installers to move so you can take pics! LOL Kat :) |
Aw folks, thanks for thinking of me! :) Yup! The guys have been working their little ol' hearts out since early this morning. The cabinet maker has done a beautiful job. I do wish he had added a spacer before the top trim to bring it up closer to the ceiling, but I had lots of time to discuss that option and didn't do it. I'm sure it is something that I'll only notice for a day or two. I have been feeling positively sick to my stomach - in the nicest possible way - This has become the moment of truth! I've gone from basically white on white, little counter & few cabinets to very dark & tons of cabinetry plus sticking an island in between that breaks with the minimum aisles (only by an 1 1/4" on 2 sides)& it is going to be cozy but I have to say that so far I'm loving it. The island isn't in place yet, but they have the 2 banks on the perimeter walls (galley) almost completed. My house is small & I'm used to close quarters so I really do believe the function will be great and I won't feel I'll be cursing the lack of walk-around room. I'll get a couple of works-in-progress photos up a little later. For now, I'm dashing out of town to pick up the rest of the knobs & see what I can find for the down lights in the glass cabinet & flanking cubbies. Talk soon. |
Looking good! Now I'm getting antsy to have DH finish off the Bathroom, so I can start picking paint. Have added Silver Fox and Abalone to the list of chips to look at. Unfortunately, hot tub has needed repair, and the last month of weekends has been spent on that- can't believe we'd originally been thinking maybe Christmas... OMG I did it again- didn't specify which year! Can hardly wait to see it all come together! |
Katie - it's beautiful!!! Those cabinets are what I would have had if I hadn't changed my mind and talked myself into the white instead (because I just HAD to have dark hardwood floors). I love the way they look with your paint also! And that Black fridge is to die for! They worked very quickly - our cabinet maker was here for almost an entire week, all day every day, and it's still nowhere near finished! There are still a lot of drawer fronts missing, as well as a ton of little adjustments to be made to everything. Not to mention toekicks and the aluminum cabinets that aren't in yet! He won't completely finish things up though until after the floors are stained and who knows when that will be. I'm trying to be patient, but it's wearing thin now! :) Anyway, things are looking sooooo good! I can't wait to see the granite! I forget - have you already picked your backsplash? |
Ok, I keep getting my Katie's confused...too many Katies including in real life...my niece is a Katie, my son's gf is a Katie...ok enough about my dementia! Your kitchen is SO pretty!!! You must be so excited!!! Those cabinets are rich, rich, rich and all the lighting is just going to add to the elegance of the whole space! You are going to love those glass fronted cabinets, they will be like the crowning jewel once you have them all filled with your special items! You must be in Canada if you ate at Tim Hortons! My husband is half Canuck, his dad is from Ontario! Congrats again on your beautiful new cabinets and keep those pictures coming! Traci and I are addicted to GW so we need people to keep feeding our addiction! ;-) Kat :) |
Kat, I for one am going to break my addiction once my kitchen is finished - haha! But that could be another several years at the pace things are moving :) I may need a 12-step program at that point! "Hi, my name is Traci and I'm a kitchenaholic." |
Thanks traci, tonight we have just the Xenon undercounter lights on the low setting & the 3 Xenon recessed in the pantry side cabs and it is so Zen-like; even with plywood standing in place of the granite and the floor not grouted (& DW sitting in the middle of the floor). Even my husband has commented on how peaceful it is. It's gratifying to see it all come together and fulfill the vision. How I wish I could get back far enough to get proper photos. Our cabinet maker has been amazing. Even the other tradesmen have been impressed with what he did for us. From the look of your photos you probably have twice the amount of cabinets to what I have, so I'm not surprised that there is so much more to do. I should add that he did have a helper with him, and they seemed to have the process down to a fine art. While one was installing the hardware, the other was adding the top crowns. Oh, and I love the look so much just as it is that I don't think I'm going to add a backsplash at all. The cooktop will be in the island & most of my prep will be on the island. There is only a few inches between the sink & window of painted wall and some day I'd like to replace the window there with one that will come down to counter level so I do think I can easily get away without one. |
Yup Kat, Ontario here too. In my small town we knew we had "arrived" when we finally had our own Timmies. Thanks for the kind words on the cabinets; they are truly a rich chocolate, and I love them! |

Katienic, we need updated photos! You know I'm considering the dark wood and the black appliances like you, and I need to see more shots of your gorgeous kitchen! |
What southernsticker said! ;) Kat :) |
Wow Katie it's looking great! It's such a great feeling to be able to put something IN your cabinets isn't it?! I can't wait to see your granite and all the lighting when it's done. That black fridge looks amazing and really does blend with the cabinetry. It's all so rich and elegant! Thanks for the new pics...keep us updated as you keep progressing. Kat :) |
- Posted by southernstitcher (My Page) on Sat, May 16, 09 at 14:31
I see exactly what you're saying now. It really looks great. I will be looking for updates! |
Kat, the fridge is the CD Floating Black Glass by Jenn-Air. I ordered it sight-unseen as no appliance store I could find within 100 miles had one in their showroom. It has definitely lived up to my expectations based on the catalog & on-line viewing I saw. It is beautiful and oh so easy to keep looking pristine! The dishwasher & ovens are not the floating glass however they all do work well together. Southernstitcher: I'll post again after the 25th. I can hardly wait for the granite to get here. Oh, and I have to ask...what kind of stitching do you do? |
Katie - everything is looking soooooo great!! I love the cabinet color and the black fridge. I would love to have a white one like that but I don't believe they make them in the size we need. We're planning on keeping our old for a while anyway, so maybe they'll be available once we need another :) Can't wait to see your granite! |
Katienic, how did I miss this post? Your cabinets are beautiful! I can't wait to see the kitchen with the Bianco Romano granite installed :) |
- Posted by pluckymama (My Page) on Tue, May 19, 09 at 18:23
Katienic, WOW, your kitchen is gorgeous! |
Katienc, your kitchen is indeed gorgeous. I can't wait to see my dark brown cabinets when they get installed. I hope they look half as good as yours. I have a question for you concerning the lighting in the glass cabinets. I have to tell my KD whether I want the lighting with glass shelving so that the entire cabinet gets lit or do as you did, top shelf lit only with the remaining shelves in wood. What made you go that way as opposed to glass shelving? |
Katienic - your kitchen is absolutely breathtaking! I love every bit of it! |
Oh, I was so surprised to see this post back on page 1. Thank you all so much for your so kind comments. I do so love my dark cabinets & black appliances. :) If my kitchen can contribute anything to this amazing forum I would have to say for people to not be afraid to go black with the dark wood! traci, I know they do make the white (someone on the appliance forum had bought that one in regular depth I think). My CD FD is kind of skimpy on size, though for just the 2 of us now at home it has plenty of room. Are you any closer to finding your backsplash? ni, I'm in countdown now...granite arrives in less than a week! I am so excited for that to happen. Your kitchen with your BR has been an inspiration to me. How is your backsplash quest going? Thanks pluckymama! lilyfreak, I debated about putting in glass shelves, but ultimately I decided I wanted it to be more utilitarian rather than overly decorative, and I didn't want it to look like a china cabinet, but rather a pantry wall with just a bit of glitz, which is why I also only put glass doors on the centre set & had the cubbies on the sides. For me it is a good balance of that glitz, yet still keep it a little less formal. I bought the Xenon 3 light set from Home Depot. The series plugs in to a wall outlet at the top of the cabs is turned on/off from a switch on the wall. I'm really happy with it. Hope this helps. |
Hi Katie - I don't think I'm any closer to picking a backsplash, although am at the point of just giving up and NOT picking, so that will settle it :) I like several of the tile samples I've gotten, but can't quite imagine them in the kitchen - does that make sense?? For example, I haven't found one that I immediately think "this is it!!!" I did find a place that has calacatta marble tiles for just over $7/sq ft, so I am very tempted to just order a ton of them and hope that I can get enough with some color rather than all white! For that price I could order more than double and it would still be cheaper than any other place! I'm going to wait until someone else posts about their sample though (they are getting a sample of carrara from the same place) to see what they say about how it looks. Anyway, we need a 48" fridge, so are a bit limited. That's only because we have an old SubZero (really old!) right now and are planning on using it in the new kitchen until it conks out :) Hopefully that won't happen as soon as we get it in there! It was in the house when we bought it, which is ridiculous because it's mammoth and takes up almost an entire wall in the teeny-tiny kitchen! So...I didn't see any that wide in white like your black one - darn! I shouldn't even be looking because I'll jinx our old one - we're planning on just slapping new stainless steel panels on it to match the other appliances so I hope it works out OK. I'll be eagerly awaiting your photos of the granite next week! Your kitchen is just amazing looking so far! |
lyno, sorry I missed your message. It must have come in while I was typing my last reply. Thank you so much! Going from what I had to start with this kitchen does take my breath away! I woke up last night at 2:00 am and just felt compelled to go out and check that the kitchen was real! My DH just shakes his head now as he often comes through and finds me just standing there feasting my eyes! Only those on this forum I expect can truly understand and I'm sure I'm not alone in this behaviour. LOL. Countdown: 5 days till granite! |

Hey everyone:
just came back from a week in WDW (oct16-23), and we had an interesting conversation with a bus driver. We were complaining to her about another driver who had been so late in getting to AKL to take guests to D.D. that people wound up being very late for dinner reservations. (He also drove so slow that Mickey strolled by at a faster pace...lol) But the nice driver Donna, told us that some buses now have GPS and eventually they all will. Part of what this will enable managers to do is to track how long it takes a driver to do their runs. Which will in turn help to weed out exactly which drivers seem to be a problem. She said they are starting already to try and weed out the slower drivers. Btw...she also took our complaint to a manager. And she gave us good advice if you have a problem driver.
1) note either the driver's name or the bus number
2) take note of the time you board and depart the bus
3) make sure you have the run the bus made ex: AKL to MK
4) when you arrive at your destination, ask another driver if you can speak to a manager due to a complaint.
PS...if you ever get Donna (she is heavy set, short curly blonde hair, very very funny) ask her about the monorail to MGM..funny yet true and if you pass by the Coronado without stopping..yell out "Hey i thought we were going to the Coronado!" She will laugh and laugh at that one..I promise!

Slovenia's traditional dining institution is the gostilna, essentially an inn or tavern but cleaner, warmer, and more inviting than the English translation suggests. These are frequently family-run, especially in the smaller towns and villages, with Mom in the kitchen and Pop out front pouring beers and taking orders. The staff is usually happy to suggest local or regional specialties. Some
of the better gostilna are situated alongside vineyards or farms. In Ljubljana, these are usually on the outskirts of the city; the ones in the city center tend to be directed towards tourists, since urban Ljubljaners usually prefer lighter, more modern fare.
Slovenian cuisine is highly regionalized, with offerings quite similar to dishes of neighboring countries and cultures. The Adriatic coast features Italian-influenced grilled fish and pasta, while the inland regions will offer cuisine very similar to that of Austria and Hungary. Unlike much of former Yugoslavia, Slovenia was never part of the Ottoman empire, so Turkish influence—significant in the cuisines of other former Yugoslav cultures—is absent from the Slovenian kitchen.
These neighboring countries all have a grand culinary tradition, but the Slovenian versions of their dishes tend to be simpler and not as painstakingly prepared. You can certainly eat well in Slovenia, but the standards, with a few notable exceptions, are generally not the same as in countries where cooking is considered an art form.
The top 25 places we think should be on every traveler's radar this year.

William Lerach discussed his perspectives on the relationship between the deregulation of our financial markets and several wealth destruction events that resulted in massive losses to the nation's public, private and individual pension systems and plans. These losses have gravely impaired the finances of these retirement plans -- leaving many of them, he argued, with unfunded obligations that are so pervasive that they now constitute a major threat to the financial future of our country. Mr. Lerach also discussed what, if anything, he believes can be done to avoid or ameliorate the crisis that would arise from the financial collapse of our pension systems.
