The Community News Christmas Guide 2011 November 18, 2011 3C The most wonderful Tyme of the year Aledo finishing preparations for Holiday Celebration By Katie Martinez The Community News Celebrating more than a decade of Christmas Tyme tradition, the city is hard at work with preparations for Aledo's Christmas Tyme celebration on Dec. 3. Angela Kell, events planner for the city and Mrs. Claus to the children who visit Santa at his workshop inside the community center, has been working behind the scenes since September to plan this year's event. A lot goes in to putting on a city wide celebration, from bringing in sponsors and working with local businesses to coordinating with health inspectors, planning committees and city administration. Aledo Mayor Kit Marshall said the event, in its 11th year, is always changing and evolving � and it gets better every year. "Christmas Tyme is a really fun, family-friendly event that showcases all the things that make Aledo great," she said. "It introduces the community to our local businesses and gives the community the opportunity to usher in the Christmas season together." Kell, who is working on her second Christmas Tyme event, said after finishing her shift as Mrs. Claus last year, she was excited to see the fruits of all her labor. "I remember I jumped in my car and went around to all the different locations, I wanted to see how all of our ideas were playing out," she said. "It was great; kids were making s'mores and people were really having a great time." RANDY KECK/THE COMMUNITY NEWS TOP: One of the hits of the 2010 Christmas Tyme was Harley Santa at Aledo Florist. | RIGHT: All sorts of gifts, apparel and yard decorations can be found at the Craft Fair at Aledo Community Center. The event faced uncertainty when the East Parker County Chamber, which had always sponsored the event, decided not to continue, but Aledo's Economic Development Corporation picked up the reigns and with the help of community sponsors has continued the tradition without a hitch. Marshall said that she spends a lot of her time on the wagon talking to people about the history of the city and how the city has grown and changed, while still retaining its small-town charm. Turn to TYME, page 4C 4C November 18, 2011 Christmas Guide 2011 www.community-news.com TYME from page three "That makes it hard for me to get around and see all the other events, and I'm torn by that," she said. "I do absolutely love sharing with people the history of our city � but I would also love to participate in all the activities going on all over town." The arts and crafts fair has been held at the Community Center in Aledo for the last 34 years, Kell said. It's an important tradition in the city and Marshall said Christmas Tyme was structured to enhance the fair and help the local artists as well as the businesses. Kell said she and her family are really looking forward to seeing what Milestone Portraits and the Bird's Nest Salon are going to do, because their event is new this year. They will have a bounce house for the kids along with airbrush tattoos and an outdoor Christmas movie. Marshall, who has been involved with planning the event since its inception 11 years ago, said her favorite thing about the event is � everything. "I don't think I can pick one event over another because what I love about Christmas Tyme in Aledo is the way all the facets come together to make one fabulous event," she said.

And the greatest part of you Becomes a part of everyone you come to love. We are here for a purpose. And it lies outside of ourselves And the Noble Ideals we share. It lives and breathes within the lives of others, Not so fortunate as ourselves. It lives as well as it may. A child must possess the knowledge That there is love, That love exists, And that it may be found In you. For a Mother and for Father Love truly blossoms evermore When children find: "Tis true There is poetry all around, Beauty flows from everything, But by far The most beautiful poem Is you." � 2011 by William C.

Special to The Community News Everyone is excited about Christmas on the Square and, as always, there will be lots of fun festivities to enjoy. The event is free to the public and will take place on Saturday, Dec. 3 with a new time from noon to 5 p.m. a the Historic Downtown Weatherford Square. The Annual Christmas Parade will kick off the event, starting at 10 a.m. at the Ninth Grade Center and following its route down South Main and west around the Square. The theme for this year's event will be "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow" and many of the downtown shops and businesses will be decorated to reflect their interpretations of the classic Christmas tune. During the more than 20-year tradition of Christmas on the Square, the event has continued to grow. Attendance got a huge boost a few years ago, when it was moved to Saturday. Turn to SQUARE, page 10C FILE PHOTO OF THE COMMUNITY NEWS Christmas on the Square begins at a new time this year, immediately after the parade.

As the holidays approach, the giant foreign factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods � merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor. This year will be different. This year Americans will give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift given time, nothing can be found that is produced by American hands. Yes there is! It's time to think outside the box. Who says a gift needs to fit in a shirt box, wrapped in Chinese produced wrapping paper? Everyone � yes EVERYONE gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from your local hair salon or barber? Gym membership? It's appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement. Who wouldn't appreciate getting their car detailed? Small, local-owned detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift certificate or a book of gift certificates. Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plunking down the Benjamins on a Chinese made flat-screen? Perhaps that grateful gift receiver would like his driveway sealed, or lawn mowed for the summer, or driveway plowed all winter, or games at the local golf course. There are numerous owner-run restaurants � all offering gift certificates. And, if your intended isn't the fancy eatery sort, what about a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint. Remember, folks this isn't about big National chains � this is about supporting your home town merchants and services with their financial lives on the line to keep their doors open. How many people couldn't use an oil change for their car, truck or motorcycle, done at a shop run by the American working guy? Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would love the services of a local cleaning lady for a day. Perhaps someone's computer could use a tune-up; there is probably some young guy who is struggling to get his repair business up and running. OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts people spin their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and pottery and beautiful wooden boxes. Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and leave your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play or ballet at your hometown theatre. Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands. Honestly, do you really need to buy another ten thousand Chinese lights for the house? When you buy a $5 string of lights, about fifty cents stays in the community. If you have those kinds of bucks to burn, leave the mail carrier, trash guy or babysitter a nice big tip. Christmas is now about caring about our neighbors, encouraging American small businesses to keep plugging away to follow their dreams. And, when we care about other Americans, we care about our communities, and the benefits come back to us in ways we couldn't imagine. This can be the new American Christmas tradition.

THE Where the COMMUNITY Comes Together NEWS 22C November 18, 2011 Christmas Guide 2011 www.community-news.com Have yourself a Natural Little Christmas Bring Mother Nature inside to create an elegant holiday home By Jessica Abels CTW Features Sometimes taking a stroll into the holiday-decorating aisles of your local store can feel more like falling through Alice's rabbit hole. With everything from animatronic snowmen to psychedelic-lighted tree toppers, it can be tempting to go Mad Hatter and get carried away. But there's a reason why no one sings "Deck the halls with plastic metallic tinsel." This holiday season, why not let the original interior designer, Mother Nature, have command over your home? Mar Jennings, a Westport, Conn.-based lifestyle expert, author and TV personality, likes to incorporate a number of natural elements into his holiday decorating. While he says those boughs of holly and evergreen branches are great places to start, there are many other, more unexpected ways to go au natural. "I love to take a lemon and slice it in half to make a little mini lemon bouquet," Jennings says. "There's nothing better in the winter than to get a burst of citrus color." He incorporates more lemons, along with limes, by hollowing each fruit out to make just enough space for a small votive. Jennings calls them "lemon lights" and "lime lights" and says they "bring texture and color that are great for parties." At the table, Jennings suggests creating place cards using a metallic pen to write names on magnolia leaves, as well as using non-blooming fig tree leaves as placemats. "I also like to take cranberries, barley or coffee beans and put them in glasses and put a tea light or small candle in them," he says. "It creates different levels of illumination using things from my pantry. "When I do table arrangements, I use one vase and put another inside and line the wall of the outer vase with halved Brussels sprouts. That's another way of getting something organic on the table." When it comes to the tree, however, Jennings says you may want to consider the artificial route. "One thing more and more is that artificial trees are becoming so real," he says. "Using an artificial tree is not a bad idea, especially when you can't tell it's artificial. It's a great choice and with all the live trees we cut down each year, it helps the environment." He suggests creating a more natural look for the tree by taking your least favorite ornaments, or ones that are slightly damaged, and coating them with sand or moss using adhesive spray. "Taking an old ornament that you normally wouldn't put on, you can completely redo the surface and make it brand new," he says. "It creates a more organic look than you would expect on a tree." This can also be a fun activity for the whole family, he says. "Craft stores have wonderful things to get kids involved and make ornaments that last," he says. "I try to get kids involved so they appreciate where they were that year they made the ornament, and to kind of keep in mind the traditions and history of the holiday by remembering the past." �CTW Features IMAGES COURTESY OF MAR JENNINGS Back to the basics: Hand the reins over to Mother Nature (and d�cor expert Mar Jennings) for holiday-decorating ideas that pack a green punch.

Show me the online deals! No B&M until November, broke both feet July 24, 2013
Those who promise paradise on earth, end up giving nothing but hell.
I'm a woman damn it!
I beat Selma once!
I just wanted to report back just in case anyone is considering purchasing a refurbished TV from Walmart in the future. I picked up my tv today and the box was beat to hell. When I was putting it in the car, I noticed that there was a small crack on the corner. It was barely noticeable so I decided to still get it home. Once we got home, I turned it on and there were 4 circles on the screen. It looks as if something inside the tv are pressing against the screen since they are all about the same size and distance from each other. Furthermore, the remote wasn't controlling the tv.
I contacted walmart and they offered a refund. The warranty is only 90 days and it is through a company called "The Recon Group". I sent them a email about getting a replacement but I will not hold my breath on this one. I hope this info helps anyone who considers purchasing a refurbished tv from walmart in the future.

Michael Keaton Joins Larry David's MovieDamon Houx July 14, 2012 @ 12:17 AM
Though he's played Batman and Beetlejuice, it feels like Michael Keaton's in some form of semi-retirement. Throughout the 80's and 90's he would show up in movie and usually be great in them, even if the material wasn't up to snuff, but for much of the last ten years he's been scarce. Recently, he had a great supporting performance in 'Toy Story 3' and then a juicy role in 'The Other Guys.' Now he's going to be in Larry David's upcoming movie.

Smith to drive for JR Motorsports
JR Motorsports announced Wednesday that Regan Smith will drive the team's No. 5 NASCAR Nationwide Series entry full time in 2013.
THAT'S THE WAY!Keselowski's back in charge after JJ's setback. NASCAR Power Rankings
Smith will make his debut this season when the team fields three entries for the Nov. 17 season-ending race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Smith will join teammates Cole Whitt and Danica Patrick in that race.
"This is an extremely good opportunity for me," said Smith, who filled in for Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the Hendrick Motorsports Sprint Cup entry the last two weekends. "Dale Jr. and I first started talking about this several years ago, but the timing never matched up to where we could make it happen. Now it's time. I'm happy to be a part of this organization. I don't want to just win races. I want to be the team that dominates races and contends for the championship."
Smith, 29, has competed in the Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck series since 2002 and Sprint Cup Series since 2007.
The 2008 Sprint Cup rookie of the year, he earned his lone Cup win at Darlington Raceway in 2011.
"Regan has always impressed me," said team co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. "He gets the most of his car, no matter what he's driving or who he's driving for. He takes care of his cars and gets good finishes. With his experience and ability, we feel he can excel in our equipment. He has a super personality, and his ability to work with everyone here at JR Motorsports and Hendrick Motorsports will be important in getting us back to the winner's circle."

Smith's No. 5 Chevrolet is the only JRM entry announced for a full season in 2013.
Team general manager Kelley Earnhardt Miller said the goal of the organization is still to run two full-time teams in addition to Earnhardt Jr. competing in select Nationwide Series races in the No. 88 car.
"We feel it is important for our sponsors, our fans, and even Dale to keep his Nationwide Series number consistent with his Cup number," Earnhardt Miller said. "His brand is associated with the No. 88. That's what makes him distinguishable on the racetrack, so it's only natural that he drives the No. 88 all the time. To do that, we are making our No. 5 Chevrolet our full-time entry. We hope to have Cole in the No. 7 full time in 2013, and we are working hard on securing sponsorship for that."

I went from parking my car in a garage to a driveway. I like my car clean and got tired of wiping off pollen or rewashing due to the Georgia Dew in the morning. I bought this about a month ago and have been very pleased. Fits like a glove and has kept my car clean. An occasional wipe down with Lucas spray is all I do now.

IT'S the longest period of abstinence on record. Vertebrates gained the genes used to metabolise ethanol 310 million years before flowering plants started producing significant amounts of the intoxicating stuff.
The gene for alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) - a protein that breaks down ethanol - was originally thought to have evolved in humans in response to the creation of liquor. But then the enzyme was discovered in animals, so it was thought that the protein emerged to break down ethanol in the fermenting fruit of flowering plants. These appeared on Earth around 140 million years ago.
Now Héctor Riveros-Rosas at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City thinks it is time to change the story again. He analysed the available ADH gene sequences from animals, and says they suggest that ADH first appeared in vertebrates some 450 million years ago - long before flowering plants evolved, and even before the conifers that appeared around 315 million years ago began producing sweet berries that can ferment to generate small quantities of alcohol.
Riveros-Rosas believes ADH was initially used to metabolise natural hormones, and was later hijacked for our bacchanalian pleasures. He points out that studies have found evidence that ADH breaks down naturally produced hormones such as dopamine much faster than ethanol.
However, the new study does suggest that some animals evolved a version of ADH in response to the appearance of fruit. Fruit flies gained the gene between 70 and 135 million years ago (Chemico-Biological Interactions, DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2011.02.008).

I must confess that I haven't always been a fan of jewelry. In fact for the last 15 or so years I've worn a watch and class ring and swapped that out for my wedding ring 13 years ago. Jewelry and hair styles were "too much work!" Bracelets would get in my way when working and earrings got caught in my naturally curly hair. Uggh!Then in February of this year (2010) I was diagnosed with stage 1 melanoma on my hand. Talk about terror! My father died of melanoma when I was 8 months old and I had always tried to be careful in the sun. Well, long story short, It was successfully cut out and now I go every 6 months for check-ups.At the same time as that diagnoses, I received test results of food allergens. I was severely allergic to rice. Rice! Whose allergic to rice? I love rice! Why rice! What do I eat now??? So I changed my diet and MIRACLE of MIRACLES, I came out of my suicidal depression that had been hanging over me for years!!!!! Whoo hooo!! Life is beautiful!! Cancer free, Depression free, Youthful energy restored!!!Then, wait for it............I found jewelry! I love it! I make it! I'm actually good at it! Whoo hooo again! So here are my uniquely designed jewelry pieces. Each one is a new expression of uniqueness. So, go ahead, enjoy! I dare you to walk on the fun side!

HoopsHype Yao Ming rumors
Metta World Peace met with the New York Knicks in Las Vegas Monday and has plans to meet with other teams. World Peace is also planning to meet with former NBA player Yao Ming, who is an owner of a team in China, about the possibility of playing there. USA Today Sports
A source familiar with World Peace's thinking also insisted his suggestion he'd play in China remains a "serious possibility." He recently talked with former Houston Rockets teammate Yao Ming about playing with his Chinese Basketball Association team in Shanghi. Los Angeles Daily News
Forgotten in the shuffle of the Dwight Howard fracas is the former superstar Rockets center, Yao Ming. How does Yao Ming feel about all this? Has anyone asked Yao? Anyway, one particularly awesome couple honored Yao at their wedding with this spectacular groom's cake, made by Charm City Cakes in Baltimore. For The Win
Mark Berman: Yao Ming on Dwight Howard. "The Rockets have a tradition of big men. That's the feel I had when I came to town. I hope he feels the same." Twitter @MarkBermanFox26
First, let's do a roll call shall we? The following were present at the game, either participating in the game or watching from the sidelines: Yao Ming, Tracy Mcgrady, Joakim Noah, Metta World Peace, Luis Scola, George Hill, Kyle Lowry, Ricky Rubio, Chris Singleton, John Wall, Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday, Chinese players Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhelin, Sun Yue, Liu Wei, Wang Zhi Zhi and super-famous Brazil and Real Madrid soccer/futbol player Kaka. Yes, that Kaka. (Bonus: Here's a hilarious picture of Kaka with Yao and Wang Zhi Zhi from last night.) SLAM
Bryant, according to a source, pointed out that while the Rockets brought Hall of Fame center Hakeem Olajuwon with them to their meeting with Howard Sunday night, and that Yao Ming made a pitch on Houston's behalf via Skype, "there wasn't a room big enough" to hold all of the great players who had worn the Lakers' uniform. NBA.com
Yao Ming took part in the meeting with the Houston Rockets and free agent center Dwight Howard Sunday in Los Angeles on Skype from Beijing, China. ' "We can't miss this one," Yao said in a telephone interview with FOX 26 Sports from Beijing. "As soon as (CEO) Tad Brown and (general manager) Daryl (Morey) called me I said 'of course I would love to help.' "Dwight is a piece the Rockets require if we want to go to a championship." FOX 26 Sports
Yao said he will be in Houston on July 11 and said he would like to meet Howard. Considering NBA rules will not allow any free agent signing to be officially completed until July 10, Yao's schedule could work with Howard's, if he and the Rockets reach a contract agreement. "I wish I could meet him in the next two weeks," Yao said. "I'm coming to town in two weeks." Which would be just fine with Morey, who thought the meeting with Howard went well. "Dwight is focused on winning championships," Morey said. "So are we. FOX 26 Sports
Yao Ming, the former Houston Rockets superstar, believes a Filipino will someday make it to the National Basketball Association. Yao, who arrived Saturday night, said with China and other countries in Asia able to produce NBA players, it's only a matter of time before the Philippines can also make a splash into the NBA scene. "There are Iran players [in the NBA] and I believe there will be a Filipino in the NBA in the future," Yao, who said through interpreter Guo Weisheng during the Philippines-China Friendship Games presser held at the Solaire Resort & Casino in Paranaque City Sunday morning. Yahoo! Sports Philippines
More on the birth of Baby Yao Ming, a male Masai giraffe, from the Houston Zoo's official blog: Mom Neema delivered the healthy male calf at approximately 7:10 a.m. on Monday February 25 at the McGovern Giraffe Exhibit following a 14 month pregnancy. "The calf weighs 62 kilos, about 139 pounds and stands 74 inches tall," said Houston Zoo Hoofed Stock Supervisor John Register. Neema is five and a half years old. The proud father, Mtembei is 6 years old. Yahoo! Sports
Yao was born in 1980 to parents who both played professional basketball, but he said he was never pressured to play. He began playing basketball at the age of nine because he was drawn to the sport. Of all the things Yao is involved in now, he said it is his family that is most important to him. "I have a daughter. Everything takes a back seat to my family," he said. "My wife runs the house." He said he's glad to have Houston and Shanghai as home bases. "When I am in Houston, I miss Shanghai. When I'm in Shanghai, I miss Houston," he said. China Daily
The Houston Rockets could retire Yao Ming's jersey the first home game after the All Star Game. 361 Sport
Mo Yan, the 2012 Nobel Laureate in Literature, and Yao Ming, a former NBA star with the Houston Rockets, have been listed among China's national political advisors. The Standing Committee of the 11th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, China's top political advisory body, adopted a member list for the 12th CPPCC National Committee on Friday. philstar.com

Clemson Tigers vs. Maryland Terrapins should prove to be the best game in the ACC this week. The surprising Clemson Tigers are making the college football world take notice and it will be up to the Maryland Terrapins to try and put a stop to it.FREE PICKS: Visit Bookie Blitz often as picks are always updated and check out the links below for more free previews
The two top stories heading into this game will be the injury concerns with Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd and what uniforms the Terrapins will be sporting for the big game. Before we take a look at that riveting information, let's break down the latest college football point-spread on this game.
Clemson opened up at eight point favorites at Justbet.com as could be expected. The betting public loves a top ranked team and so 90% of the early betting money came in on the road team. The line dropped however to 7.5, and even as low as seven in some places. This is interesting because it is a sign that sharp money is coming in on Maryland. Although the public is on Clemson, the line is not going higher because the sharps are pounding the line with more money than the public, forcing a move in the opposite direction.
All signs point to Boyd suiting up for the game, but don't expect him to be at 100 percent for this contest. The most interesting quarterback story will be on the other sideline. Coach Randy Edsall pulled starting quarterback Danny O'Brien in the last outing and that will be enough to make O'Brien work hard to play better.
The Terps started gaining some confidence in the last game with a late rally against Georgia Tech. That should carry over to this game with the backing of a rowdy home crowd. This is apposition that the Tigers have had problems with in the past. The Tigers are 4-11-2 against the spread (ATS) in their last 17 road games against a team with a losing home record.
In fact the Tigers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 meetings and the Underdog is 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings. The Terrapins are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game and 7-1 ATS in their last 8 conference games.
Take the points in this game as Maryland may pull off the upset at home.

Future smart meter rollouts: Chaos is NOT inevitable
By now you'd think the electric power industry would have perfected the art of smart meter deployments. Yet far too often I see utilities repeating mistakes already made by their predecessors. One mistake is to fail to take advantage of the specialized tools that have been created to speed the process.
That's why I wanted to run this guest editorial from Sangeet Dutta. To be sure, Sangeet is not disinterested. He sells the kind of tool he recommends. But the general concept is valid, whether or not you purchase his version. As he explains, utilities can not only make deployments more cost effective. They can also use them as an opportunity to improve customer relations. - Jesse Berst
By Sangeet Dutta
Utilities, vendors, and customers alike are unfortunately all too familiar with the issues accompanying Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) deployments. The earliest deployments were, at times, marred by controversy and these instances have not been forgotten...or forgiven. In a world where every public mistake is magnified, these hiccups have quickly resulted in a widespread acknowledgement that an era of consumer engagement is upon the utility industry. And with smart meter usage at only 30% among U.S. utilities, there are plenty of AMI rollouts still to be completed - and critiqued.
Fortunately, utilities are much better equipped now than ever before to avoid the potential pitfalls of smart meter installations and to finally reap the rewards.
The answer is the business process management approach
Until now, no one has taken the business process management (BPM) approach of combining our knowledge of human behavior with workflow optimization techniques. The lack of this methodology has quite possibly been the greatest mistake made in AMI deployments to date. It holds the key for utilities to not only conduct more successful rollouts but to also productively manage customer touch points in an effective way so that AMI deployments leave a lasting, positive legacy.
So how is this accomplished? Through the use of mobile workflow optimization solutions. These are techniques such as "forced march" and fault-resistant workflows that can be applied when deploying en masse with contract labor. This approach enables the uniform training, deployment and management of large groups of installers. It reduces liability, prevents damage and injuries, and increases safety compliance for utilities.

Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Chris Martin have separated.
The GOOP founder announced the news on her lifestyle website, writing that they "love each other very much" but have decided to "consciously uncouple."
Paltrow, 41, and the Coldplay frontman, 37, have two children together, Apple and Moses Martin, and recently moved to Los Angeles after years of living in London.
It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate. We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been. We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time. We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.
Gwyneth & Chris
The couple tied the knot in December 2003 and have had a policy not to appear on red carpets with each other.
She was recently forced to deny a bombshell report that she was cheating on her spouse with entertainment lawyer Kevin Yorn.
And RadarOnline.com exclusively reported in February that Martin had been miserable since the couple moved from London to Los Angeles.

"Chris has told Gwyneth he wants to move back to his native England with their two children, Apple and Moses, once the school year is over," a source close to the couple said.
"At first, Chris was doing it for Gwyneth because of the sacrifices she made for him, especially since he would be on the road for months at time while the band was touring. However, Chris now recognizes that Gwyneth doesn't need to be living in Los Angeles for her career," the source said.
"Yes, she is closer to her mom Blythe Danner and friends, but Chris is away from his family and pals. From the beginning of their relationship, Gwyneth always told Chris she wanted to live in London. The couple also owns a home in the Hamptons, and Chris would much rather live there than in Los Angeles."
Paltrow also gave an interview where she said cheating was not a marriage breaker.

"I think that if the idea of being committed to someone is important to you, you begin to value certain parts of your social life over another," she told Refinery29.com.
"No couple is the same, and as such, every couple takes on different challenges. I would like to think that I would be forgiving and/or forgiven, but I can't give an honest answer as I haven't really experienced that."
The separation comes on the heels of their purchase of a $14 million Malibu house and they already own a lavish estate in the Pacific Palisades, Calif.

Banks tighten lending to real estate, BSP says
Interest rates starting to rise as tolerance to risk weakens
popular .
Banks continue to show signs of increased restrictions to lending to the real estate sector amid the tighter regulatory scrutiny on the industry's exposure to the booming housing and office space industry.
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) in a report last week said banks reporting tighter overall credit standards for commercial real estate loans now outnumber those indicating the opposite.
"The net tightening of overall credit standards for commercial real estate loans was attributed by banks to stricter oversight of banks' real estate exposure, along with banks' reduced tolerance for risk," the BSP said.
The BSP said banks were starting to report higher interest rates and lower credit line sizes for commercial real estate loans.
Despite these factors, the BSP's second quarter Senior Loan Officers' Survey showed 82.4 percent of banks said overall credit standards remained unchanged.
The BSP said banks showed unchanged collateral requirements, loan covenants, loan maturities, and interest rate floors for the survey period.
Banks said most of their clients were unfazed by the marginal tightening of credit standards.
Many borrowers now have improved economic outlooks and increased inventory and financing needs.
As a result, demand for commercial real estate loans remained strong, supporting the growth of companies across the country, particularly in the business process outsourcing sector. Nearly all bank respondents also expect demand for commercial real estate loans to continue to increase in the third quarter of the year.
The possible tightening of credit standards for real estate borrowers comes amid an expected relaxation of requirements for other types of borrowers.
The BSP earlier reported that more banks are likely to relax their credit standards for consumers and businesses amid competition in the industry and the access to cheap cash.
Earlier this year, the BSP said it was closely watching how banks lent to the housing sector to look out for possible signs that an asset price "bubble" was forming given the property industry's robust growth in the past few years.
The BSP requires that all banks limit the amount of loans to extend to real estate to 20 percent of their respective loan portfolios.
Despite the tighter watch, BSP Governor Amando M. Tetangco Jr. has repeatedly said that the formation of a "bubble," which if popped could lead to a sharp deterioration in banks' asset qualities resulting in tighter access for everyone else, was still a remote possibility.

Behar has convinced me that ethnographic empathy will produce an anthropology that has greater meaning than the distanced and detached academic anthropology of the past. –Barbara Fisher, The Boston Globe
"Her luminous essays build cultural bridges and challenge conventional ways of doing anthropology." –Publishers Weekly
"As 'a woman of the border' . . . [Behar] infuses her vision with insight, candor and compassion." –Diane Cole, The New York Times Book Review
"A story that engages the emotions. Making the past visible, she preserves it against oblivion." –Stanley Trachtenberg, The Washington Post Book World
"Behar's collection of essays assesses the impact of emotion and experience on the process of research and writing, and on the relationship between the observer and the observed. . . . Intensely moving." –L. Beck, Choice
"In six strongly emotional essays, Behar makes a compelling case for the importance of revealing 'the self who observes.'" –Anne Valentine Martino, The Ann Arbor News
"[Her] insistent looking back is what makes Ruth Behar's vision of anthropology so compelling. Memories do not vanish; they recede and leave traces. The anthropologist who makes herself vulnerable to these indications makes the world a more intelligible and hopeful place." –Judith Bolton-Fasman, The Jerusalem Report

Kent State University Student Wins Spot on National Leadership Council (06/09/2009)
Kent State University Student Wins Spot on National Leadership Council (06/09/2009)
Stephanie Mehle, a freshman justice studies and political science double major at Kent State University, has been selected to serve as a member of the National Leadership Council (NLC) for the 2009-2010 academic year. The council is a leadership opportunity offered by The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS), an honor society inviting freshmen and sophomores.
"It felt so amazing to be chosen to serve on the National Leadership Council," Mehle says. "I could not believe it was happening to me."
NSCS awards about 20 council positions every year to students who display leadership qualities both at their NSCS chapter and in their on-campus activities. Students apply for these positions and are evaluated based on their NSCS involvement and their adherence to NSCS' values of scholarship, leadership and service.
"I hope to gain valuable information from the Leadership Council that will benefit the chapter at Kent State," Mehle says. "I want to work with all of my fellow members to have the best, most productive year possible."
The council serves as a sounding board for the Society's staff; council members also attend a local Induction Convocation and conduct research on their campus about members' needs.
"The members of the National Leadership Council were selected based on their dedication, service and commitment to NSCS," Executive Director Steve Loflin says. "Stephanie has demonstrated leadership, academic excellence and community involvement at Kent State University and I'm looking forward to watching how she will shape the NLC."
Mehle, who is from Canfield, Ohio, says this is a great achievement for her and all the members of the NSCS. She hopes to share her experience with as many people as possible.
"I am so thrilled to have the honor of serving on the National Leadership Council, representing Kent State," Mehle says.
About NSCS:
The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies and is the nation's only interdisciplinary honors organization to invite first- and second-year college students. Membership is by invitation only, based on grade point average and class standing. NSCS offers members exclusive access to scholarships, career resources, leadership and networking opportunities. NSCS has more than 625,000 members and 235 chapters in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

If it is boredom, it will spell the death of every nation and the end of every people. Boredom is dying in the form of drowsiness, and death in the semblance of sleep. And if it is in reality confusion, I believe that confusion is always useful because it brings to light that which was hidden in the nation's soul, changing this soul's intoxication to sobriety and its stupor to wakefulness, precisely the way a powerful storm shakes the trees, not to uproot them but to break their dead branches and scatter their yellow leaves. And if confusion appears in a nation that still possesses some
The poet is both the father and the mother of language; language travels the same roads he travels and stops to rest where he stops to rest, and if the poet dies, language sits on his grave crying over the loss, wailing until another poet passes by and extends his hands to it. And if the poet is both the father and the mother of language, the imitator is the weaver of its shroud and the digger of its grave. By poet, I mean every inventor, be he big or small, every discoverer, be he strong or weak, every creator, be he great or humble, every lover of pure life, be he a master or a pauper, and
By poet, I mean that worshipper who enters the temple of his own soul and kneels down crying for joy, wailing, rejoicing, listening. And when he comes out, his lips and tongue articulate nouns, verbs, letters, and new meanings for the various patterns of his own adoration that renew themselves every day, and for the many types of his own supplications that change every night. Thus he adds with this effort a silver string to the lute of the language and a perfumed branch to its hearth. The imitator, on the other hand, is the one who repeats the worshippers' prayers and their supplications

James Buchanan is the only U.S. president who never married.
This does not mean, however, that he did not ever come close! In 1819, at the age of 28, Buchanan became engaged to Anne C. Coleman, the daughter of a Pennsylvania iron magnate. He eventually called it off for undisclosed reasons and his former fiancée died soon afterward, possibly a suicide. During his early political career, Buchanan lived with Senator William R. King of Alabama, a fellow bachelor and the future vice president to his presidential predecessor, Franklin Pierce. This caused a great deal of speculation about Buchanan's purported sexuality, which continues to this day.
But who served as his First Lady when he was in office, you ask? That's a good question. Buchanan did actually have a female relative who was able to fill this position admirably. This woman was his niece, Harriet Lane, who had been under Buchanan's guardianship since she was 12 years old. At that time, her mother (Buchanan's sister) had died, leaving her orphaned. Fifteen years later, she was the natural selection for Buchanan's first lady, having traveled with him when he was an ambassador to Great Britain. Lane was so popular in this role that she earned herself the nickname of the "Democratic Queen!"

Looking forward after Katrina and the BP spill.
For years, those of us living along the Gulf Coast have been crying out to the rest of the nation and world that there is a potential for major disasters to happen—over and above the critical, ongoing disaster of land loss. When canals and channels for oil pipelines and shipping are cut through the marsh, the land disappears. In the last 50 years, we have lost an area equal to the state of Delaware, and that brings with it the loss of estuaries and resting places for migrating birds.

Other than, I think they new table tops, I truly enjoy this place food is ALWAYS good!
More than enough for 2, thanks to our waitress who told me that the portions were pretty large, which they were! The Chicken had great flavor, Steak was tender, All the extra topping were fresh and had good flavor.

I happened across the previous post and was sad to see it. This is one of my favorite restaurants. And no, I don't work for them. I tried the Border Cantina about 8 years ago after a friend suggested that we give it a try. We've literally…

This place is extremely gross. The people who work there must of written the reviews posted. To start off the chips are cold and taste so so. The salsa is very blah and can like tasting. I ordered quesadillas and only could eat one piece…

Transitioning from relaxed to natural hair is a process where you grow out your processed hair in favor of your natural texture before cutting off the processed or damaged ends off (known as the big chop). Transitioning is about learning to accept (and love!) the texture you were born with. Are you transitioning from relaxed to natural hair?

Opium Addiction Treatment and Opium Drug Rehab Announced By Recovery Associates Treatment Center for Addiction
Opium Addiction Treatment and Rehab Announced by Recovery Associates, Offering Drug Treatment for Those Addicted to Opium and Heroin
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) May 18, 2013
Recovery Associates, through its multiple therapeutic tracks, is placing an emphasis upon opium addiction treatment, helping men and women break free from this harrowing, potent drug.
Opium addiction might not start out as full-blown addiction. Opium can be acquired through a doctor´s prescription for pain relief. Patients, though, can grow dependent upon the drug after the condition has healed, and be left with an entirely new set of problems to struggle with.
Opium addiction symptoms include loss of appetite, weight loss, nausea, paranoia, hallucinations, runny nose, red eyes, forgetfulness, anxiety, mood swings, and social isolation.
Yet there is hope, and it is opium addiction treatment at Recovery Associates, which helps to end opiate addiction and make live worth living again.
Recovery Associates is a drug and alcohol treatment center that provides a variety of programs and services for men, women and teens struggling with chemical dependency issues. At the core of their philosophy is the belief that addiction is a treatable illness. Their addiction treatment experience has shown that anyone is capable of achieving lasting recovery and physical, mental and spiritual freedom from the disease of addiction.
Their unique program offers three different tracks: a Traditional Track, an Expressive Therapies Track, Teen Rehab Track, and a Christian Rehab Track. They believe that by utilizing a variety of therapies they can better assist their clients in finding their own individualized path to recovery. Their focus is on the underlying issues that have led to the addictive behaviors and destructive patterns.
Recovery Associates´ multidisciplinary team is made up of a Board Certified Addictions Psychiatrist, Master´s Level Therapists and Certified Addictions Counselors. They are passionate about recovery and helping individuals and families begin the healing process.
For more information about Recovery Associates drug and alcohol treatment, call 800-392-3180 today or visit their website at http://recoveryassociates.com.
