Is Your Marriage Over?
By Joe Beam
The only time I believe in giving up on a marriage is when one of them dies, or if after their divorce one of them marries someone else, or if one of them continues involvement in an activity that makes the marriage impossible. Otherwise, I believe there is a chance to reconcile.
The first two – death or one of them marrying someone else – are obvious. Allow me to briefly explain the third. When someone asks me if they should make the effort to save their marriage when their spouse has done some bad thing I always ask, "Is your spouse a good person doing a bad thing, or a bad person doing a bad thing?" The intention of the question is whether beneath the current bad behavior there exists a good heart or if the person is so intent on his or her selfish behavior there is no chance to rescue them. Judging a person by what he or she is doing now can sometimes lead to the wrong conclusion.
That said, there are actions that make it impossible for a marriage to continue. Here are a few examples:
If one continues in an affair, even after confrontation, it is impossible for the other spouse to continue to live in that marriage. (Though I use the word "impossible," I know of some who have. I don't recommend it.)
If a person is abusing his or her spouse or children, remaining in that marriage is unwise. Abuse may be physical, sexual, emotional, or a combination thereof. I have seen marriages reconcile after the abuser got proper help, but even then strict boundaries were put in place to ensure that no more abuse could occur. If the abuser does not seek or accept the help he or she needs so that their bad behavior is corrected, living with them is not a viable option.
The example list could go on. Sometimes the unhealthy, bad behavior of a spouse makes it treacherous for spouse or children to remain in the same home. If a person refuses to stop the devastating behavior, that person eventually becomes unbearable to live with.
However, allow me to point out that there should be patience in concluding that a person will not stop the action destroying the marriage. Often a planned intervention works and can help to rescue a straying spouse.
Before giving up on a person, have the grace and mercy to try all that can be done to rescue them. That's why I always encourage a spouse about to end a marriage to seek wise counsel to determine if the spouse is truly hopelessly involved in his or her actions. Hurt and angry spouses sometimes make judgments about their spouses that may be incorrect.
If a person can be rescued, they should be. If a marriage has any chance of reconciliation, that chance should be explored to the deepest level.
So What Can Be Done To Save A Marriage In Trouble (Or Already Divorced)?
I don't give up on marriages easily.
Because any marriage can be saved if just two things happen. The first is that both have to stop doing the things destroying their relationship. The second is that each must start doing the things to make love grow. Yes, yes, I know. Sounds Pollyannaish, doesn't it? However, it's true. Somewhere in the vicinity of 150,000 people have been through courses, seminars, and workshops I developed. Therefore, when I make a statement like that, there is a great deal of experience backing it.

WPSR delegates to Gaza will share stories, photos, and answer questions. In addition to hearing about their work in 2014, you will have the chance to learn about their priorities for promoting peace through service in 2015. Presenters include Charles Cowan, MD; Gerri Haynes, palliative care specialist; Robert Haynes, MD; Grant O'Keefe, MD.
The event is free, but donations will be accepted for WPSR and our work in Gaza. Our 9th delegation will return to Gaza in March 2015.
Click here for more detailsA new report written by nuclear energy expert Robert Alvarez, and commissioned by Washington and Oregon PSR, reveals new risks associated with the CGS reactor at Hanford. The report, entitled "The Hazards of High-Level Radioactive Waste in the Pacific Northwest: A Review of Spent Nuclear Fuel Management at the Columbia Generating Station," highlights serious concerns about a possible earthquake disaster; harmful doses of contamination to workers; and the location of the plant workers' parking lot next to a newly discovered site of radioactive waste buried at Hanford. Alvarez is a former policy advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Energy during the Clinton Administration and senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, DC.
Read the full report here.WPSR, Hanford Challenge, and United Association Local 598 announced a notice of intent to sue the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Hanford contractor Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS). The goal is to ensure that workers at the Hanford nuclear site are protected from exposures to toxic vapors from Hanford's high-level nuclear waste tanks. Over 56 workers have been sent for medical evaluation since March 2014. After 30 reports about the vapor issue in the last 25 years, it is time to take real action. Washington's Attorney General filed a similar notice of intent to sue this week, as well.

Nine medical professionals – including three surgeons, a cardiologist, an emergency/family practice physician, a nurse practitioner, a palliative care nurse, a stress management provider, and a psychologist – will spend the next 10 days seeing patients, observing and assisting with surgeries, and teaching classes.

Wedding: 9/7/2013
Matt is simply amazing! I LOVED my wedding photos! I will cherish the images forever!
My fiance and I are camera shy to say the least, but Matt was so easy to be around that we almost forgot we were being photographed. Hire Thomas Ashley Photography, you won't regret it!!
Wedding: 5/18/2013
Using Thomas Ashley Photography was the Best Decision I made for our wedding. Our Photos came out absolutely gorgeous! Matt is excellent at using normal settings and lighting conditions to capture amazing photos. When you see the pictures its obvious he looks through the lens with the eye of an artist. The editing he did on some of our photos was so natural and beautiful that I did not even realize what was done to the picture until I saw the original! It just made them look breathtaking! In addition to that, he is very good at directing poses, (especially my husband, is not comfortable in front of camera) and he took TONS of classic photo's without me even knowing of my dress, shoes, jewelry, my Bible, and details in the reception. I never even knew he was there. Great Photographer.
Wedding: 5/11/2013
I am thrilled with my wedding photos and entire experience of working with Matt. The photos are just priceless. They are art. He was very responsive and helpful with ideas on photo locations as well as creating a timeline for the wedding and shoot afterward. He was a joy to work with the day of and very flexible.
Wedding: 11/3/2012
Matt is extremely professional. We used him as our wedding photographer and he never got in the way and got some amazing shots, as almost like he was just another guest at the wedding. We just received our wedding album and were amazed at how beautiful they turned out. We will be using Matt for your family photos too!!!
Wedding: 1/5/2012
Matt with Thomas Ashley took our engagement and wedding photos and I was so happy with our photos! He has a way of making you feel at ease and a comfortable. He took some photo that we absolutely love of us, without us even knowing it.
Wedding: 11/3/2012
I know Im kinda late with my review seeing that we had our pictures done back in July, but I had to come and show Matt some love. He did our engagement photos, and they turned out perfect. He made us feel very comfortable and that made the session go by fast. We will be using them again real soon. THANKS MATT!!!!
Wedding: 2/25/2012
I love every one of my wedding photos. Matt and Tara were super friendly and when we met they both listened to everything I was looking for in my wedding photos. I could have not asked for anything more, from start to the finish during the shoot, Matt was so personable and easy going which made the whole day that much easier. Spot on the time table discussed as promised for delivering the photos and course, the photos are so beautifully! I highly recommend All Shook Up PHOTOGRAPHY!
Wedding: 3/10/2012
All Shook Up did such a great job on our wedding photos. Matt captured the spirit of reception. The photos are lively and fun, which is what I asked specifically for. Matt was so accommodating, and made great suggestions though out. My family was raving about him, as the event was going on! We have so many images to choose from, and they are beautiful! Matt was very attentive to details. I cannot say enough good things about All Shook Up Photography! It's a FANTASTIC value, with EXCEPTIONAL quality.
Wedding: 2/19/2012
We hired Matt for our wedding in February 2011. His flare was consistent through all his photos he showed us. His able to work with the natural light and creating images that are very realistic. He went above and beyond what we were expecting. Covering our wedding day from start to finish and some portraits of us throughout the resort on the next day. We received our images from Matt in quick surprisingly short turnaround time and we got way more than we expected and we love everyone! He was great to work with and really helped us relax and enjoy ourselves! We are very happy we picked you!

Rodolfo Martinez purchased this condo in 2006
We fell in love with the region while renting an apartment in this same complex two years before we got married. At least once a month we escape to Cabo Rojo from hectic San Juan to reset and re-energize...
The warmth and 'in no-hurry' local's lifestyle is tangible; combined with the stunning scenery of the beautiful beaches to pick from.
We really wished we stayed longer as that part of Cabo Rojo is so beautiful!
Here's my friend's feedback...
I would say it is in a peaceful location, at the water, very new, clean and decorated with taste and is very comfortable, perfect for relaxation and after spending a few days there you would not want to leave. Rodolfo is very thorough and helpful.
And mine...
Your apartment was at the best location within the area & within the complex! Very spacious, nice amenities, and loved the views on all three sides. Would love to stay at your place again if I return to Puerto Rico!
And, I really appreciated your responsiveness & helpfulness as we planned for the trip.

The best Kegel balls around
Reviewed: 17 December 2014 by queendryad, a Bisexual Single Female
The FSOG range has definitely split opinions right down the middle - some like it, some loathe the idea of buying a product from the range. In my humble opinion, you need to look past the cheesy product name and brand, and look at the actual product you're buying.
I own several products from the range now, despite initial hesitations. This product is by far the best, and I would go as far to say that this is the best Kegel ball product available to buy.
I have tried various jiggle balls and Kegel toners before, and always come across the same issue: they do nothing for me. I can keep them in with little to no effort, so the intended effect is lost and I'm left dissatisfied.
These balls weigh in at a hefty 221g together. Each ball is small, at 3.75 inches in circumference. These two factors combined made for an interesting first use. I was far too brazen at thinking they would be as easy to hold as previous balls. No such chance - even the slightest cough caused one to fall out, and made me struggle to keep the other one in!
They really do get you working those pelvic floor muscles, and are a great challenge. Along with working these muscles they also leave you extremely wet, perfectly warmed up for whatever may come.
I do slightly miss the added fun of the jiggle balls, but I can look past that for the size and weight of these.
The packaging is typical of the FSOG range. These came nestled in a hard black storage box (emblazoned with the FSOG logo), inside the bog standard cardboard outer box. An instruction manual and storage bag are also included. I personally prefer to keep these balls in the hard black box. There's nothing really to fault on the package side of things. It's luxurious and practical - perfect for the price you pay.
Cleaning is very easy with this product. There are no dips or grooves, so nowhere for anything to hide. The cord is made of silicone, so is more hygienic than other materials. I like the colour scheme of this range; everything looks very smart and much more expensive than it actually is.
My only fault with this product is the cord. I have an issue with the metal loop at the end in particular, and the size of it. It's just really big, which becomes noticeable when wearing clothes. It's just very difficult to decide where it should lay (and cold!), and is slightly awkward.
It does make retrieval very easy, but unless you're wearing nothing, the cord is a pain.
Of course, wearing nothing makes the challenge of these balls much more fun. And the end loop is just a small blip on what otherwise is an amazing product.
To summarise: these balls are very sleek, feel luxurious and are incredibly weighty. They are possibly (for me), the best Kegel balls available to buy at present, and are a must-have for an advanced user. I strongly recommend them to anyone. :)
- Pros
- Weight, design, packaging.
- Cons
- The metal hoop on the end is quite big.
- Bottom line
- Absolutely the best Kegel balls out there for advanced users. I wholly recommend them!

So far - the best of the whole range
Reviewed: 16 December 2014 by margaret.t, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
I ended up owning probably half of the whole FSOG range, and this is the only product I willingly paid for. The rest of the things that I own from the range were part of some offer or deal here on LH and they came as free gifts. And while the rest of the items from the official line aren't novel at all and have their much cheaper equivalents from the other LH ranges - these balls are unique and remarkable. There are tons of vaginal beads and Kegel balls and exercisers on the market, but what makes these different is their weight!
Most vaginal balls range from 60 to 80 g. Fifty Shades of Grey Inner Goddess Silver Pleasure Balls weigh 221 g. Finally! I've been looking for some challenge in months!
What is different from many other Kegel exercisers is that these are solid beads. There are no smaller inner beads that jiggle when you move. The upside is that these are absolutely silent. Not a sound! And if you think that this isn't important - well, I don't know for you ladies, but I don't like it when people hear something knocking together around my pubic area. It is really audible in a quiet room!
Could be my paranoia, but it takes some of the pleasure of secretly wearing beads at work or while running some errands. Well, ain't going have this same problem anymore thanks to the Inner Goddess beads! The downside is that the jiggling is super exciting and brings extra pleasure. But the weight definitely makes up for it!
These are one of the most sleek balls on the market, after the Lelo Luna Beads. They come with an outside product description box, inner: thicker and sexier black box, a storage pouch, and a leaflet in multiple languages. Dashing! The beads themselves look really sexy, I just love metal and glass toys!
I found these really easy to clean, compared to other vag balls, because the ones with inner beads have a small cut where the two parts of a single bead meet and close together, which is a b***h to clean!
Don't forget to put some lube. Lying on your back is probably the easiest position to insert them. They are metal, so they will be colder than your body temperature. If you don't like it - put them under some warm running water and you are good to go!
The drawstring bag has some tiny nits and fluffs in it - coming out of the fabric. So I would recommend to wash the cloth first (inside out) or just store them in the box. Or run them under water them before use as well.
The loop - it is... weird. I mean - it is super useful for removing them or for some stimulation - if you pull lightly, even with slippery fingers and all, but it is too long, the loop is big, it's metal and honestly - I am not sure where to put it... Keeping it around your labia is uncomfortable, especially if you're wearing tight jeans on pants. One way to go is to slip it along one of your legs - hanging outside of your underwear, or to keep it up on your pubic mound under your panties.
Tip: naked or without underwear and wearing a skirt or a dress - when the loop hangs loosely - it makes it even more challenging to keep the balls in. So far: the most enjoyable and intense use of the beads!
In a nutshell: the most advanced Kegel balls on the market! Strongly recommend!
- Pros
- Weight, weight, weight! Smooth, metal, stretchy cord, 100% silent!
- Cons
- Cord too long. Pouch - made of cheap satin and leaves fluffs on the cord.
- Bottom line
- Looking for a real Kegel challenge - you must get these!

These have a good look to them, although any balls with a string are going to be less hygienic, but it does make them more fun taking them in and out.
As stated, they are larger than some and by far the heaviest on LH, so only suitable for advanced Kegel exercises.
If you want to feel the balls to add a bit of kink to your daily routine, then buy LH's basic ones - these got me the most aroused, although all Kegel training will increase your wetness and orgasm (for that day at least).
If you want medium Kegel training - buy the magnetic hematite ones.
If you want difficult Kegel training - buy these ones.
- Pros
- Look, feel and weight.
- Cons
- The string (and I found I prefer jiggly ones).
- Bottom line
- They are ideal for advanced Kegel training.

I purchased a bunch of valves and such from bargain fittings so I could make a mash tun and valves BK. however I didn't even think about the pickup tube, and now I am stuck on what I should do, and where I should place my valves. I planned on using a 90 deg bend inside the kettle, but now I am worried that I will have to be really really accurate with my positioning. Anyone have a suggestion? I would love for it to be cheap too
Different ways to do it. Can you solder? A copper pickup is easy to put together and you could cut it to fit exactly to your kettle. Did you select a coupling on the bulkhead kits? If so you could use a male adapter (male npt thread x copper solder fitting) and a copper sweat street 90 with short piece of pipe to make a side pickup. A 1/2" Stainless 90 and a hose barb works as a side pickup as well. Generally I suggest people install the valves so that the bulkhead is at least a 1/2" above the bottom inside the kettle when using a coupling inside. You want to be above the curve of the bottom edge on your kettle to get a good seal and be able to tighten up the fitting inside properly. If you put a 90 inside and want to be able to to rotate on the bulkhead, you need to be up a little more than 3/4 in from the bottom.

PCMark 7 includes a range of tests that give different views of your system's performance. In the Advanced Edition, you can choose which tests to run. The common use and hardware component tests are unavailable in the Basic Edition.
Overall system performance is measured by the PCMark test. This is the only test that returns an official PCMark score. The Lightweight test measures the system capabilities of entry-level systems and mobility platforms unable to run the PCMark test, but it does not generate a PCMark score. Common use performance is measured by the scenario tests - Entertainment, Creativity, and Production - each of which results in a scenario score. Hardware component performance is measured by the hardware tests - Computation and Storage - each of which results in a hardware score.

MediaEspresso is a blazing fast media universal converter that can transcode your videos, photos, and music files, and output them to a huge range of portable devices, including mobile phones, portable media players, and even game consoles. With technologies like Smart Detect, Direct Sync, and CyberLink's TrueTheater video enhancements, you can not only forget about complicated format, resolution, and output settings, but your converted file will come out the other side looking better than when it went in!
Out of the box, PCMark 7 performance is about where you'd expect it to be, while MediaEspresso sits in the middle of our Z87 offerings, as we see about 90 seconds of fluctuation from our slowest to fastest board.
Overclocking brings an excellent boost in performance in both areas, but you see a real-world improvement to our encode time under Media Espresso as we sneak in just under the 15 minute mark.

Mesa-based Cactus Towing overcharged customers and insurance companies more than $220,000 in the late 1990s and early 2000s through a series of exclusive tow contracts with law enforcement agencies in the East Valley, a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office investigation has found.
The overcharges stemmed from various service fees that were specifically restricted in the contracts that Cactus held with the Arizona Department of Public Safety and Mesa and Chandler, according to the investigation.
The contracts called for Cactus to tow vehicles that were involved in crashes or arrests within the jurisdictions of the agencies. Unauthorized fees were listed on invoices that Cactus kept hidden inside the company's computers, which were seized in a March 2005 raid.
Investigators found that customers were often handed a bill that concealed the source of many of the charges, including administrative, winching, license-plate removal and window taping.
Cactus Towing drivers were told to cover car windows that were down with plastic wrap to protect a vehicle from rain and dust. But the drivers also used protective wrapping on vehicles that didn't need it, former Cactus associate Mark Brammer told investigators.
Brammer operated Arizona Collision Repair and Salvage from the Cactus tow yard for nearly a decade and stopped working there in 2004.
"You say you're saving the interior. That never happened. It was just a good story," he told investigators. "Plus, you're taping cars that had rolled over nine times and the person was killed in it. There's no salvage, there's no protective value, there's nothing."
The Cactus overcharges were the focus of an 18-month investigation by the sheriff's office, which has provided more than 10 binders of investigative material to the Tribune.
"The heart of this investigation is about the fraudulent activity from these law enforcement contracts," said Lt. Paul Chagolla, spokesman for the sheriff's office. "Habitual overcharging of fees not allowed by the contracts led to customers, vehicle owners and insurance companies being defrauded."
The white-collar fraud investigation has been handed over to the Arizona Attorney General's Office, but has not resulted in any indictments against former Cactus owner Lee Watkins or general manager Todd DeMasseo.
The Cactus business was sold to Phoenix-based Rush Auto Recyclers in June. Cactus attorney Kent Nicholas said Cactus didn't lose any towing contracts with local law enforcement agencies, despite past scrutiny of the company.
Watkins and DeMasseo did not return phone calls.
The investigation shows that the systematic overcharges of Cactus' customers often led to them losing the ownership of their vehicles. Some customers would sign away the titles to their vehicles instead of paying a high tow bill.
Other customers lost their vehicles because Cactus was able to claim title to the vehicle through Arizona Motor Vehicle Department before they could pick it up.

Revolutionary media has proved unwilling to indulge this curiosity. The state shares no real news about itself. Nearly three years after Fidel first disappeared from public view, his subjects still don't know whether he's dead or alive, let alone what he's up to. (His periodic and increasingly nonsensical screeds in Granma offer precious few hints. Not many people watch the state's version of the news. "Mesa Redonda," the official nightly news round table, is roundly ridiculed; Granma features real reporting from allies Venezuela and Bolivia, but that too has an ideological point. There are sports and educational programs on TV, but no entertainment news. Telenovelas, a genre Cubans love, have low production values and are also flavored with the blandness of political orthodoxy. It's all dull, didactic stuff and it does nothing to sate Cubans' appetite.
"The Cuban press is so narrow," Rafael, a journalism student at the University of Havana, told me. "We have to get our information somehow. We're hungry for it." And this, mind you, is coming from someone with political credentials good enough to study journalism in Cuba.
That hunger is fed "por la izquierda," to the left of the law. Some listen to Radio Martí, the Cuban version of Voice of America, though its impact is debatable. For the most part, however, people get their non-Granma news, their entertainment, and their beloved Brazilian telenovelas from illegal satellite TV, much of it beamed through Rupert Murdoch's DirectTV.
This is how it works: One guy (and it's usually a guy) rigs up a contraband satellite with parts smuggled in by visiting émigrés, or even with a receptor attached to a trashcan lid. A tangle of wires then channels the signal to anywhere from several residents to several apartment buildings. Each recipient pays a one-time installation and a monthly subscription fee of about two hundred national pesos, about half a professional's monthly salary. Because everyone is hooked up to one central dish, subscribers have to watch the same thing as the dish owner, who will usually create a program based on a survey of his customers.
Cops and members of community vigilance organizations often get their subscriptions for free to disincentivize ratting and promote information sharing when, say, the police are about to sweep the town for illegal dishes. (The last major raid was two years ago, after Granma published a story about several men prosecuted for making dishes. It was, the paper claimed, "destabilizing and interventionist and forms part of the Bush administration plan aimed at destroying the revolution and with it the Cuban nation.") Pirating techniques adapt quickly in response to official intercession. In order to fight the newly trained cable-cutting police that prowl the roofs, smugglers have now taken to hiding the cables underground. Masquerading as official work crews repairing leaks, they tear up the streets and lay the cables under the concrete.
All told, there are up to 30,000 of these illegal satellite dishes hidden in water tanks and air-conditioning units on rooftops all over Cuba, with the majority clustered in Havana. They bring in news, music videos, and, worse, commercials—and then Radio Bemba, the Cuban grapevine, takes over. The news is passed by word of mouth, on video cassettes, or, from the few Cubans who have Web access, on memory sticks. Together, DirectTV and Radio Bemba have become the de facto media empire here, swiftly and efficiently giving Cubans the information the Revolution refuses to provide.
Circumventing the state, however, is not without its dangers. Getting caught could get you or your family members kicked out of work or university, effectively blacklisting you for ideological impurity. Incurring economic punishment in the poverty-stricken country, though, could be far worse: An illegal dish might mean a catastrophic fine of a thousand pesos, more than most people earn in two months. And, though the enforcement is spotty and lurching, the official line has only grown harsher: With the ascent of Raúl, the world hoped for a loosening of the noose, but Cubans knew better. Soon, he proved them right, appointing an old Revolutionary comrade and former head of the secret police to head up the Information Ministry. He, in turn, introduced a law that forbids receiving foreign media from tourists. An infraction carries a three-year jail sentence. The point is clear: no outside media. Period.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Indianola is a ghost town located on Matagorda Bay in Calhoun County, Texas, United States. The community, once the county seat of Calhoun County, is a part of the Victoria, Texas, Metropolitan Statistical Area. In 1875, the city had a population of 5,000, but on September 15 of that year, a powerful hurricane struck, killing between 150 and 300 and almost entirely destroying the town. Indianola was rebuilt, only to be wiped out on August 19, 1886, by another intense hurricane, which was followed by a fire. Indianola was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1963, marker number 2642.[1]
Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels, representing the Adelsverein, selected Indian Point in December, 1844 as port of entry for the Verein colonists from Germany. Prince Solms renamed the port Carlshafen in honor of himself, Count Carl of Castell-Castell[2] and Count Victor August of Leiningen-Westerburg-Alt-Leiningen[3] whom Solms claimed had been christened Carl. Prince Solms' choice of Carlshafen and its inadequate accommodations as a port of entry, as well as the isolated route to New Braunfels, was to keep the Germans from interacting with any Americans.[4] In February 1845 Henry Francis Fisher conspired with Dr. F. Schubbert to coerce incoming immigrants to sign legal documents disassociating themselves from the Verein and to join Schubbert's colony in Milam County.[5]
In May 1846, Meusebach received a letter from Count Castell informing him 4,304 colonists were on their way to Texas. With no funds and no new settlements, the mass of emigrants were stalled at Carlshafen. Meusebach's requests to the Verein for more money, and his warnings at pending bankruptcy for the Verein, brought no results. As a last resort, Meusebach instructed D.H. Klaener to publish the plight in the German news media. Embarrassed by the publicity, the Verein established an inadequate $60,000 letter of credit.[6] Meusebach had arranged with the Torrey Brothers for transporting the emigrants inland, but the United States hired the Torrey Brothers for use in the Mexican-American War.[7] An epidemic of spinal meningitis broke out at Carlshafen and spread with the emigrants to New Braunfels and Fredericksburg.[8]
Samuel Addition White and William M. Cook founded Indian Point, later Indianola, in August, 1846.[9]
Some of these immigrants purchased land from Samuel White and established a settlement at Indian Point. The name of the settlement changed to Indianola in 1849 by combining the word "Indian" with "ola," the Spanish word for wave. The German immigrants continued to refer to the community as Carlshaven (Carl's Harbor) in honor of Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels.[10]
From its founding in 1846, Indianola served as a major port, and before the 1875 storm was second only to Galveston as Texas' primary port. The town incorporated in 1853. In 1856, the port received cargoes of camels, part of the US Army Camel Corps experiment to replace horses and mules as the primary pack animal in the southwestern parts of the country.
During the American Civil War, Indianola was twice occupied by Union troops, in October 1862 and November 1863. During the second occupation, part of a Union infantry regiment moving from Indianola to Matagorda Island drowned in Matagorda Bay.
In 1869, the world's first mechanically-refrigerated shipment of beef left Indianola for New Orleans.
During World War II, the U.S. Army constructed an anti-aircraft firing range along the Indianola shoreline to train gunners and the facility was used primarily by military personnel from Camp Hulen, located outside of Palacios.
Having survived severe storms before, Indianola was almost totally destroyed on 16th September 1875. The New York Times reported in detail on the extensive loss of life and property. Even the lighthouses were swept away[11] and the keepers, including Thomas H. Mayne and Edward Flick Jr. of the East Shoal Lighthouse, killed.[12]
The town was rebuilt but events were repeated in 1886. The destruction served as an object lesson for many residents of Galveston, 100 miles up the Texas coast. However, their calls for a seawall to protect that city went unheeded, and Galveston nearly shared Indianola's fate when the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 struck the island.
A railroad was intended to connect the port of Indianola to San Antonio. After the two storms, discouraged investors abandoned the venture and made Galveston the port of choice. After Galveston's hurricane, shipping traffic recentered over time to inland Houston.
After the 1886 storm, the county seat was moved to Port Lavaca. On October 4, 1887, the post office in Indianola was permanently closed and the town declared "dead".[10] Today, almost nothing remains of the original Indianola, as, due to storm erosion, most of the site of the city is now under water. A granite marker was placed on the shore at the nearest point to the Indianola courthouse, now 300 feet (about 90 meters) away in Matagorda Bay. It reads, "Calhoun County Courthouse. Edward Beaumont, Architect 1859. During the Storms of 1875 and 1886, precious lives were saved within its walls of shell, concrete, and lime. Abandoned 1886." The site is also home to a statue of René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle.
Indianola is now the site of a small unincorporated fishing village.
Larson criticizes meteorologist Isaac Cline (among others) for this failure. For example, Larson cites statements Cline published in the July 1891 Galveston News article, "West India Hurricanes":[16]
Further, in Part III of Isaac's Storm, in a chapter titled "Ritter's Cafe: You Can't Frighten Me", Larson publishes the recollections of Mollie Cohen, whose impressions of the Galveston Storm of 1900 reminded her of the second Indianola hurricane:
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2012) |
Singer/songwriter, Charlie Robison, included a song titled "Indianola" on the 1998 album Life of the Party that is a specific reference to Indianola, Texas. The song begins from the perspective of a German immigrant approaching Indianola by sea and chronicling details of the narrator's family. The narrator and his cousin attempt to traverse the South to join the Union Army in the American Civil War, though they encounter Rebel resistance in Indianola (state left undefined). The next scene of the folk song briefly addresses the stock market crash of 1929 in an indirect fashion, noting that little change occurred in their respective lives other than rust's accumulating on wagon wheels. While this verse is brief in regards to words and time, it denotes a subtle and increasing disaffection in the American/Texan experience, adversely affected by seemingly non-relevant incidences. The storyline then progresses to World War II, introducing an internal struggle between the call of duty of the United States of America and its armed conflict with Germany, the ancestral point of origin of many Americans. The overall sentiment of the song begins as a story of new promises followed by a series of fictional, though personally carved facts, that illustrate a common experience for the individualist. Texas exemplifies a spirit that is not only uniquely a Texan story, but an American one, thrusting the individual against the external influence that would assume its right to assert its own values. This, however, should not be confused with contemporary movements deviating from the spirit of this song.
What is now Indianola is served by the Calhoun County Independent School District.

We ordered a completely different lamp and was shipped this one by mistake. "Glass" part feels and looks like cheap plastic. Metal frame also feels lightweight, flimsy, and cheap. If the one we ordered is of the same quality, we don't even want it.

Coal Company to Cut Nearly 600 Jobs in Kentucky
One of the world's largest coal producers says it will lay off about 750 workers in the Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia coalfields. It's the latest setback for an industry struggling for market share as utilities switch to cleaner and cheaper alternatives.
Officials with Arch Coal Inc. said nearly 600 of the job losses will be in Kentucky.
The St. Louis-based company says its subsidiaries will close three mining complexes--two in Kentucky and one in West Virginia. It is temporarily idling another complex in Kentucky and curtailing production at other operations in the three states.
Mining work accounts for some of the best-paying jobs in these areas. Local leaders worry the layoffs reflect a larger decline in the region's coal production.

When Bill La Fleur decided it was time to open up a second restaurant, he enlisted the aid of his favorite chef in the world—his wife, Karen. Karen donned the chef's hat and took charge of the restaurant's kitchen, designing a menu of Italian and American dishes that have since been lauded by reporters from the Post-Standard. The skilled chef showers pasta in housemade sauces and hand rubs premium steaks in piquant, robust seasonings. To craft her old-fashioned fish-fry special, Karen breads fresh haddock before plating the crispy fillets alongside nests of fries and coleslaw.
Customers await meals out in the lively dining room, sipping glasses of fine wine and nibbling on freshly baked italian bread. Soft hanging lamps and the glow of televisions bathe the room in warmth. Throughout the month, the restaurant plays host to live-music performances and energetic parties celebrating everything from Christmas to moon landings.
Stacey, the proprietor of Stacey's Permanent Solutions, first opened the doors to her own salon 25 years ago. From humble beginnings, the business has expanded to a 1,000-square-foot salon with four additional stylists. Stacey's philosophy of ?beauty from the inside out? and her own allergies undergird the salon?s use of natural, organic JKS, Holistix, and Retrohair salon products instead of harsh styling methods employing heavy-duty chemicals or belt sanders.
Stacey believes that her job isn't just about cutting, coloring, and conditioning hair. ?It?s psychology, too,? she says, describing her way of setting clients at ease with conversation and soothing essential oils as she transforms their appearance. Her conviction that everyone should have the chance to both look and feel good has even inspired Stacey to offer at-home services for clients with special needs.

How Important is Beauty?
Many times, people will express tremendous sadness about not being in a relationship. However, once you delve further into their social lives, it turns out that they have had multiple opportunities to date potential partners who simply do not meet their physical standards.
I like to break it down for my clients in terms of "Candy Bars" and "Apples". Years ago, a former client whom I'll call Mary introduced me to the concept of considering one's dating and relationship choices in terms of candy bars and apples, and she was generous enough to allow me to share this metaphor with others.
Candy Bars symbolize unhealthy partners, and Apples symbolize healthy ones. As Mary put it:
My friends tell me I date too many candy bars when I need an apple. I always go for the super cute, James Dean types. You know, looks great, but you know you will regret it and it will make you feel sick, but you just can't help yourself and you just have to have it. Just like a candy bar. My friends say I need to start choosing apples. By apples I mean, healthy, wholesome choices. Good for you, sure, but I just don't crave apples with the same longing.
My advice? Ask yourself honestly if you choose Candy Bars or Apples. Do you go for style or substance? If you choose your partners primarily based on superficial reasons, be prepared that your partner may also be motivated to make similar, style-conscious relationship choices. If a relationship is based mainly on beauty, style, and all things fabulously superficial, brace yourself for the possibility that your partner may not always value your strengths as a good, smart, kind, interesting and substantive person. If you usually choose candy bars and you are feeling unlucky in love, maybe it is time to start incorporating apples into your diet!
Consider Mr. Big's thoughts on modelizing. Early in the episode, Carrie is out researching the question of the importance of beauty, and she runs into Big arm and arm with a gorgeous model. Later, Big tracks Carrie down to discuss and defend his modelizing. He enthusiastically explains the temptations posed by the many gorgeous women roaming the New York City streets. Then, he pauses and tries to redeem himself by explaining: "after a while, you just want to be with the one who makes you laugh."

As CNN anchor Piers Morgan continues to deny allegations of phone hacking, an article written in 2006 has surfaced in which the Guardian's assistant editor readily admits to having participated in the practice.
David Leigh wrote the article after News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman pleaded guilty to phone hacking, a crime for which he was later jailed.
In the article, Leigh admits to once hacking the phone of a "corrupt" arms company executive, after the businessman accidentally left his voicemail pin code on a printout.
Leigh writes that investigative journalism is "not a dinner party", "particularly in a secretive country like ours where the privacy cards are stacked in favor of the rich and powerful." His defense: It all depends who the target is.
"Unlike Goodman, I was not interested in witless tittle-tattle about the royal family. I was looking for evidence of bribery and corruption," he writes.
Leigh also admits to what's called "blagging," or pretending to be someone else on the phone to get a story.
Leigh suggests that these kind of practices should be kosher in journalism only when it is a last resort and when it is in the public interest.
"As for actually breaking the law? Well, it is hard to keep on the right side of legality on all occasions," he writes.
Leigh's investigative work has led to the jailing of former British MP Jonathan Aitken and to the exposure of secret payments by defense and aerospace company BAE.
Leigh is also a professor of reporting at City University in London.
