Our Eyes and "Dreams of Home" created by the children of Lajee Center with Rich Wiles. Lajee Center, Bethlehem, Palestine. 2007.
The pictures arrive at first in the sad multi-tones of greys, the ever-present grey concrete walls of the narrow alleys of the refugee camp, the shadows and lines on faces, the abstract shadows of wire and fence on concrete, and the loom of the Wall that separates the camp from its outlying fields. At first sombre within all that grey, the pictures reveal many levels of understanding and feeling, as if each shade has it own significance, each texture its own meaning, each face its own hopes and dreams clouded by narrow horizons.
As described in the introduction "the idea behind this project was for the young people of the Lajee to constructively and creatively respond to the environment in which they live…producing…an international voice that transcends borders and languages…that can get over the Wall…pass through checkpoints…louder than gunfire."

The photographs by the children of Lajee Center have been displayed at different sites around the world and are now available in this evocative book from the Lajee Center. The centre is a volunteer centre, established eight years ago to provide children of the camp with constructive educational activities to help them develop knowledge and skills. Set in Aida Refugee Camp, established after the 1948 Nakba, Aida camp, with a population of about 4,500 - over half of whom are children - is located 8 kilometres south of Jerusalem, bordering the city of Bethlehem. The children of the camp, provided with minimalist photography equipment, participated in several work-study camps over the past few years to produce these thematically organized images of life in the camp.
Photography, much more so than the written word, is open to several levels of interpretation. First impressions come from the visual image, the tone, the physical perspective, and the objects themselves. Beyond that is the wonderful world of introspection and changing perspectives: the photographers physical perspective but also the emotional perspective (Why that particular subject at that particular place?); the perspective of the subject, if other than just the immutable, intractable presence of concrete and stone (What is the girl thinking? Why is she here at this place and this time? Where is she from? What are her hopes, dreams, and nightmares?) Finally there is the overall composition, the interplay of elements, human and physical, what inferences can be drawn from the photo?
The first of the four sections of photos, "A Window to Our World", begins with a full spread photo representing all the elements described above and all the possible aspirations of youth anywhere in the world. As a written description here of course, I cannot capture those elements and aspirations as effectively as simply viewing the photo, but let me try to verbally present the various messages the photo carries. At first, a young girl stands slightly off centre, dressed in a simple yet elegant clean white dress, a white headband pulling back on long straight black hair, and clean white footwear. In the background, a narrow road, a concrete wall, and further down the road a group of boys, teens, and young men walking away down the road, and further in the background, sunlit concrete block buildings.
It is not a rich environment, devoid of grasses, trees, shrubs and not even so much as a hint of weeds, and also devoid of any symbols of what for most would be signs of a rich culture or commercial milieu. It is the girl's face and body posture that draws the most introspection, leads to many questions and inferences.
She stands, eyes sad, without tears, mouth smiling but not truly joyful, someone's daughter, sister, future wife and mother. She stands with a touch of adult femininity, her hips and back slightly curved with one foot forward. It is truly a wistful posture, expressing the true definition of that word, showing vague yearnings or mournfulness or unsatisfied desire to understand. In her moment of beauty she stands amid all that is grey and barren. Who knows her actual thoughts? What are her desires and wishes? What are her anguishes and despairs? Does she feel all this without truly comprehending it? Or contrarily, does she fully understand her unique presence, beyond her years, beyond what any child should have to face in life?
In the background, the group of boys – brothers, friends, none old enough to be a parent – walking away. More questions, more inferences. Walking where…and why? Is there a purpose – a game, a school - or is it more simply youth, caged, wandering with no real purpose? They are not running, their motions are not panicked or in flight or attack.
Only three hundred and eighty words, far short of the thousand a picture is worth. But to fill in the thousand would only be my mind making conjectures about what is happening, denying almost completely the emotional impact of the picture, for I could fill it all in with background information drawn from many sources and more than likely take away from the impact of the photo itself. Trite as the saying is, it is better to let the picture speak for itself.
The subsequent photos in the section show daily life as experienced and expressed by the children of Aida camp, the narrow streets, the Wall, the people, young and old, none of whom seem truly comfortable or at peace. The final photo perhaps explains why.
The Wall, eight metres high, its dark shadows looming over the foreground, fading into sunlit brightness in the distance. In the foreground, one small boy facing the camera, seemingly lost in thought, or as with most young people, lost in unverbalized emotions and experiences, stands on a ground of rocks and rubble, where again, no life thrives.
The caption, provided by the photographer, Layan Al Azza, states simply "My favourite thing was that people liked me and let me take photos of them. I don't like life in the camp."
The second section presents photos from a workshop with the theme on "A Child's Rights in Palestine." The short commentary at the beginning of the section ends with the poignant comment "A couple of hours after the exhibition had opened in Aida Camp a 13 year old child was shot in the head with a rubber coated steel bullet by the Israeli army less than 100 metres from the gallery in which children had proudly showed their work discussing human rights protection for children, a child's rights in Palestine…"
The photos do not show the blood and the wounds to the body. Instead they show the wounds to a society struggling to survive. They show children laughing, sad, the Wall graffitied with "Stop Apartheid" and "Stop the Racist Wall", a young man waving the Palestinian flag in front of the wall, posters, a street scene, more walls, a classroom with one smile among many faces against more grey walls, more narrow alleys, girls giggling, peeking over a railing, more concrete, pock-marked with bullet holes, a child crying, playing marbles, cooking, more Wall with thistles, and finally, a round steel gate with metal fences and concrete walls to represent Article 37 – "The Right to Protection from Torture and Deprivation of Liberty."
The final section, "Our Dreams and Nightmares" was photographed in August-October 2007. Basic dreams – the right to a home, to be a farmer, to travel, to play volleyball, and most prominently, freedom and to have an education to make a better society – the dreams of all children around the world. The nightmares – of losing a home for the second time, of a worsening economic situation and no work (the simplicity and depth of children's thinking), the killing of a family and friends by soldiers, prison, suffering.
The final four photos summarize it all: a smiling face with candles, "My dream to live in a world full of innocence and hope;" next, a gnarly tree with the vague outline of an old face, "Time is passing and I'm afraid that one day this face [lonely and old] will be mine.…"
The final two, simple and powerful, perhaps show the height of the dreams and the depth of the nightmare. First a photo of books, one titled "English for Palestine" and the caption "…with my culture and my studies I will build a better future." In contrast the final picture of a shoe lying on its side on a gravelly street, dark shadows in the background, and further back, again, the Wall. Under the shoe lie the dark splashes of blood pooled in the roadway: "My nightmares are full of blood…Last year my brother was shot whilst playing in my bedroom."
Is this what the world allows for its children? Is this the price of our western lives lived in relative luxury, our own children "full of innocence and hope" to be denied to others?
Dreams of Home
The fourth set of photographs from the workshops involved the children at Lajee Center interviewing the elders of the camp, the underlying theme clearly and simply as with the title, dreams of home, of the right of return. While those over sixteen could not enter Israeli occupied territory, the youth of the camp were allowed to return and visit the sites of their grandparent's homes and villages. The photos in this section are colour, and they do not carry the grainy gritty evocativeness of the black and white of life in the camps, but the ongoing wish to return to home, to where the heart is, to where life at one time flourished and passed peacefully.
It is a book that expresses in words and photos the basic dignity of the older generation, all of whom had to flee their homes in the Nakba, most taking little but the clothes on their backs. Throughout though, two symbolic elements seem constant: the keys to the houses left behind, and the deeds of land that showed ownership. The main theme is of course the wish to return, of the importance of a home and land and the culture that goes with those elements. Accompanying this are the connections made between the original refugees and their grandchildren, passing on their memories, but more importantly their hopes and dreams of a return to a better future. For all the children it is pride and hope, as expressed by one participant Suhaib, "I get very excited and proud; as this house stood, my family and I will continue withstanding until we return."
The photographs show the full range of human emotion and the geographic beauty of the land, including the remains of houses and buildings slowly succumbing to nature. For the refugees, a stoic pride, a dignity, shows in their clothes, demeanour, and facial expressions. For the youth, the full range from sullen hostility to the innocence of mugging for a camera. For the landscape, the beauty of the flowers and trees, the rock walls and crumbling houses that give lie to the Israeli myth of a barren land without people. The irony of "The Silver Family Nature Trail" plaque set in concrete in what used to be a Palestinian village. The ever-present, fences, barriers, metal spike belts in the roadway, and inevitably, the Wall. And in the distant background, the flash of a modern high speed train, an image of freedom and travel denied to the refugees behind the wall.
Above all, strength, dreams of a better future, and hope.
All the photographs in both books are a wonderful testament to the will of a people to survive in a hostile environment, not geographically, but imposed on them by an occupying force that denies them the basic elements of human rights. The work continually reveals different levels of emotion and understanding within the viewer as well as within the photographer. It is through the eyes of children, of being able to stand back from our supposedly adult intelligence and knowledge (but mostly our ingrained prejudices and unmoving ignorance), of renewing our vision of a better future and hope, of knowing with child-like conviction and emotion that the world can be a better place, a place of freedom and love.
These two books provide us with a wonderful opportunity to enter that vision, that world, to realize that the wishes of children are not just foolish immature desires and dreams but the expression of humanities strongest goal – to have a land and a culture that we call our own, to live in peace and in harmony with our neighbours near and far, and to know and feel free, to have friends, to love and be loved in a secure environment.

We upgraded our WPMU site to 3.0.1 last week. Using DSader's plugins (Menus and Toggle Meta Boxes) to help simplify the backend for our users.
The Tools -Export checkbox under Super Admin -> Options is checked and the menu is available to users.
However, only the Super Admin accounts can actually get to the export.php page.
When any other user clicks on Export in the Tools menu for their site and, after a split second, the page is redirected to profile.php. Not any error or a blank page, just the short attempt to load export.php and then the load of Profile occurs. Tried in Safari, Firefox and Chrome with same results.
We were also missing import and just recently installed the import plugin and added import capabilities but export is still eluding us. What are we missing?

C&W Motor Cycle Service in Henderson, Ky., started as a home shop but had to expand to a commercial building that had more space.
"This is our fourth season doing this," Mike Williams told the Evansville Courier & Press while working on a customer's 1982 Harley-Davidson Roadster. "We actually had a shop in town — just a little part-time shop — for 25 years just out at the house."
Road construction has made business a challenge lately. The owner of the '82 Roadster, Keith Nichols of Madisonville, Ky., told the newspaper he spent 30 minutes just trying to travel less than a mile. C&W's front parking lot has been torn up to widen the road. "We're trying to get our sign back up," Mike Williams said. "It's been down for about two years. I've got a lot of customers that'll ask me if it's just a bunch of guys hanging around working on motorcycles. I say, 'No, we're actually a shop.'"

From too few to worry about to too many to stop
Andrew Bolt
–, Wednesday, March, 27, 2013, (7:19am)
They were so blind to the fact that the success of a few would encourage the many:
[In 2010], civil libertarian Julian Burnside mocked people who worried about the boat people starting to stream in through Labor's open door.
"If it keeps up at this rate, it would take about 20 years to fill the MCG with boat arrivals," the QC scoffed.
Many of the Left were impressed by this airy dismissal.
Take Prime Minister Julia Gillard: "Mr Burnside is very, very right. This is a point well made."
So we've gone in a flash from too few to worry about to too many to stop:
All up, 3111 passengers have arrived in Australia seeking asylum this year, compared with 1302 in the first full three months of last year.
If the trend continues, there could be more than 35,000 asylum seekers arriving by boat by the end of the year, more than double the record intake of 2012.
All up, 3111 passengers have arrived in Australia seeking asylum this year, compared with 1302 in the first full three months of last year.
If the trend continues, there could be more than 35,000 asylum seekers arriving by boat by the end of the year, more than double the record intake of 2012.
I suspect 35,000 is far too alarmist. But even the 17,000 boat people who came last year represent a rate of arrival enough to fill the MCG within six years - and that's after excluding family reunions.
Have Your Say
Can someone in the left explain to me how there is a que when comparing 457 visas but none with refugees?
Wed 27 Mar 13 (07:32am)
I recall Paul McDermott from Good News Week on Ch 10 doing a stand up around that time which ridiculed popular response to Labor's dismantling of the Pacific Solution, by saying "Ooo, a whole 35 boats have arrived since then!" The audience laughed warmly in superior agreement that there was nothing to worry about. By the way, Shaun Micallef shows similar lack of insight on his Mad As Hell. History will show up much of his anti-Coalition satire as attack rather than humour.
Wed 27 Mar 13 (07:38am)
As Amanda V said on The drum the other afternoon about these arrivals you must take the sugar off the table. No family reunions. Go back to the way it was. These are people with money who can buy there way here while those without the cash sit and wait in refugee camps. No more sugar.
Wed 27 Mar 13 (07:38am)
I notice that Burnside has been conspicuously quiet of late.
As is typical of a caricature lefty when their failed prognostications collide with actual reality he's no doubt slunk off, hoping that people will forget his politically expedient drivel.
No doubt he's busy sucking up taxpayer dollars by abusing the legal system to reward illegal immigrants with accommodation and entitlements for the rest of their lives.
Wed 27 Mar 13 (07:39am)
Let's talk about family reunions - the argument against TPVs is that preventing family reunion will cause families to get on boats.
Well - this is already the case, probably due to the fact that so many people have arrived that the attempts to bring other family members is being thwarted, by bureaucratic overload and lack of places.TPVs take care of our Convention responsibilities to asylum seekers without the added largesse to the rest of their families back home.
So - same effect, except this is not so clearly understood for its deterrent factor. The latest tragic boat obviously carried women, mothers, children, and, it was reported, also elderly people which suggests lots of new dependents for us to support.
We also have thousands of young men landed on us with the hope of bringing their families - what is going to happen when the penny drops that this is not going to happen contrary to their expectations?
Wed 27 Mar 13 (07:42am)
The answer is obvious, particularly to lefties like Burnside, all we simply need do is expand the MCG. Problem solved.
Wed 27 Mar 13 (07:42am)
I see in the Australian today one of the people smugglers has admitted that Howard had it right, and that the boats could be stopped again. They won't be stopped until Abbott is elected with a return to the Howard policies. We badly need an election ASAP.
Wed 27 Mar 13 (07:51am)
enough to till the MCG within six years
Now that's an idea for putting them and that paddock to good use: farm it!
Wed 27 Mar 13 (07:54am)
I heard Amanda Vanstone say the other night-Stop the family reunions!! I thought that was a great idea.Do we really know the true figures of how many people are here now,that started with a
person arriving by boat? They are now sending children so we can't say no,or send them to
an Island--I guess we have to get smarter.
I read yesterday a statement from a people smuggler --Howard stopped the boats! I never saw that statement on TV--WHY? Still propping up Labor are we?
Wed 27 Mar 13 (08:01am)
The Refugee Convention only obliges the host nation to provide safe haven until conditions in the 'asylum seeker's' country of origin improve to the extent that it is safe for the 'asylum seeker' to return there. The Convention assumes 'asylum' in the host country will be a temporary measure only. The Convention does not ( I repeat, does not) oblige the host nation to give permanent residency and citizenship to anyone happening to show up (in flotillas) on the doorstep. If we had a Government with the guts to pass a law that 'asylum seekers' would never, under any circumstances, be given permanent residency, or Australian citizenship, I suspect the boats would stop tomorrow. What would be the point of coming to Australia if you could always be deported at any time, and could not immediately gain access our first world social services? Moreover, Australia can pass retrospective legislation, so changes in the law can be expressed to apply to those already living here. Problem solved, Ms Gillard and Mr Abbott.
Wed 27 Mar 13 (08:03am)
Lets get this straight. Gillard has no intention of stopping the boats, why would she.
She opened the doors to this lot so she and the ALP could guarantee a lot of professional bludgers jobs
And these scumbags are riding the gravy train to the tune of billions of $$$$ every year
To stop the boats would mean 1000s would suddenly be out of work
Wed 27 Mar 13 (08:03am)
35,000 asylum seekers ? We could almost establish a small country town with that many people.
Wed 27 Mar 13 (08:04am)
As did George Megalogenis on Monday's QandA. After talking about 457 visas he finished with this throw-away line… and the Coalition getting antsy about a couple of unauthorised arrivals is not the big picture to me.
This was unchallenged and is typical of the nonsense from the left in the media and wider society...and is conflating two separate issues...skilled and orderly migration is absolutely necessary for Australia's future...but "the couple of boat arrivals" that Mr Megalogenis and Mr Burnside talk about, cost unexpected billions of dollars that is diverted from other sources and/or borrowed. The lack of scrutiny and absence of costing from proponents of "open borders" shows a lack of normal common sense and basic economics.
Wed 27 Mar 13 (08:05am)
Only when the welfare refugees and the families that they later bring in are housed in the electorates of the arrogant intelligencia will we see a change of attitude by the smarty pants leftist lawyers. They have sponsored a change in Australia that will cause social upheaval and unrest and is irreversable. Shame on them.
Wed 27 Mar 13 (08:08am)
And the 'great negotiator' told us she had done a great deal when getting New Zealand to agree to take 150 of these people.On current arrival rates that's not even two days worth
Wed 27 Mar 13 (08:10am)
I wonder if they issue the "how to vote card" as they transfer them onto a navy taxi or do they do that later at Christmas Island or as they release them into the community?
Wed 27 Mar 13 (08:11am)
With reports of a goodly proportion of women and children being aboard the latest boats to arrive, it's obvious the people smugglers' message to potential clients has changed: "Things will change after the upcoming Australian election; you need to hurry, both to get in yourself and also to get all your family in as well before the Australians change the rules."
Translation: four or more "fares" to the people smugglers per family where, until now, one such fare would suffice, with family reunion visas, where the people smugglers did not get their cut.
The unasked question, and one that should be asked of our current government, is how many of the people granted asylum here have an ongoing debt that they have to repay to the people smugglers? Are these debts onsold to money sharks within the migrant community in Australia? If so, how do these people manage to repay these debts? Are/will some be forced into illegal sweatshops or illegal activities, many if not most of them unwillingly, to repay these loans?
Wed 27 Mar 13 (08:17am)
The Refugee Action Coalition has called for a full inquiry into the asylum boat tragedy that cost the lives of a woman and a child off Christmas Island.
Ian Rintoul from the Refugee Action Coalition on radio this morning virtually placed the onus on the two Australian officials who had boarded the boat, claiming that it was they who had ordered the boat turned in a different direction, causing it to capsize.
I call for a probe into refugee activist organisations. Their staffing and the backgrounds of their staff, their funding, the sources of such funding, a list of their contacts in countries of origin, and the extent to which they encourage the people-smuggling trade and people to board the boats in the first place.
Wed 27 Mar 13 (08:17am)
I see Tony Abbott is still responsible for the boat people.
Gillard, in her genetic mendacity and deceit says it's "Abbott's negativity" that is causing this because he has blocked the implementatioin of the Angus Houston Report.
My reading of that report was that every suggestion was half-baked and useless anyway.
The lies just keep tumbling out.....
Wed 27 Mar 13 (08:19am)
Is our government telling us the truth regarding boat arrivals? I think not. Ask refuellers at the "fuel farm" in Darwin. They estimate boat arrivals to be double the number actually reported.

I tried to cancel my order minutes after placing the order and being notified I would be charged shipping. I had to call customer service and was told my order wasn't in the system yet and call back after getting a confirmation email. Two hours later, got the email, called cust. Service back and was told I couldn't cancel b/c my order was processing. Then was told I had to wait to receive my order, then send it back if I still wanted to cancel, but I would NOT be getting my shipping refunded!
Read their Facebook page. They are doing this to everyone! Luring you in with free shipping, 50% discounts, then changing orders AFTER you pay, saying you have to pay shipping or your 1/2 off item was cancelled. What a scam!! Beware when you order from Toys R Us online. Their customer service reps don't care.

#2843 closed New feature (wontfix)
serializer can't resolve a one-to-many relation from the "foreign" side
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Core (Serialization)
|serialize json python xml foreign key one to many relationship
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
best illustrated with a short example:
class Reporter(models.Model): name = models.CharField(maxlength=25) class Article(models.Model): reporter = models.ForeignKey(Reporter)
what I want to be able to get is something like the following (python-serialization):
[{'fields': {'articles': [1, 2, 3], 'name': 'Me'}, 'model': 'news.reporter', 'pk': '1'}]
currently, if I want to get the information in this format, I have two options:
- construct a Model-like structure, so it can be used with the serializers
- turn the one-to-many into a many-to-many relationship
both of these are obviously not a clean solution...
therefore I'd propose to add an extra parameter to export the ids of those related-objects optionally.
if time allows and there are no objections to this, I'll try to throw together a patch this weekend.

one small change to what I previously wrote: using "article_set" instead of "articles" seemed much more consistent with the rest of the django api

This looks good to me, but needs a few changes:
- I'd like the option "export_o2m" to be changed to something more clear. How about "include_reverse_relations"?
- Tests need to be written for the new behavior.
- As does documentation, but since the serializers doc is not where close to finished and that's my fault, I'll check this in without docs if someone else can handle the first two items.

I see that there is now a GSOC proposal including this functionality, but that plan involves a completely new serialization interface. 5 years later, Nikolaus's patch applies to trunk with only minimal changes (attached) -- is there any chance that, once it has tests and documentation, this approach could make it into trunk if / in case the GSOC idea doesn't work out?

- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
I'm going to make an executive decision and close this as a wontfix.
This specific ticket is asking for a piecemeal addition to Django's serializers; the real underlying problem is that Django's serializers aren't as flexible as they need to be for real world problems. The example given in this ticket is one type of serialisation for which there are real use cases, but there are many others (e.g, depth > 1 serialization of relationships).
Once upon a time, I harboured dreams of writing a fully flexible serialisation framework for Django; luckily, that is no longer required, as Tom Christie has written a very robust and flexible set of serializers for Django REST Framework. If we want this in Django, we should maybe approach Tom to pull that piece of REST Framework into Django; but frankly, I'm not convinced this is worth the code churn (and it's one more thing that the core team doesn't have to worry about, which is a good thing).

I was very disappointed in appearance of this coin. I was impressed by the appearance of the coin in the photo on the site and had mistakenly assumed the coin I ordered would look very similar. The colorization was not at all crisp and almost appeared as though it had been colorized with melted crayons (although I'm sure this was not the case). Be sure to pay attention to the APMEX disclaimer that "Designs, years and colorization styles will be of our choice".
- Unattractive Design
I received a couple of these coins and I really liked a couple of them but some came completely covered with a random design (entire face vs walking liberty color) that did not enhance the visual appeal. Overall I am pleased but be advised "colorized" can mean anything is put on the coin.

Laura Doyle Relationship Coaching
As featured on CBS Evening News, The Today Show, Dateline, The Los Angeles Times, Time Magazine…
(Ready to register? You'll find that here.)
I've been a relationship expert and best-selling author for over 12 years. I started out as an unhappy wife. Everything in my marriage was a mess. My husband was distant and preferred watching TV to my company or even making love to me. I was responsible for everything because he just couldn't seem to do the simplest tasks, and I was afraid to get another late notice on the bills. We even got to the point where I was supporting us both because he had quit his job and wasn't working. Nor would he do any housecleaning while I was working all day. We had a lot of big fights, with silent cold wars in between. I was seriously considering divorce.
We went to couples counseling, but things just got worse. There was no such thing as relationship coaching at the time. Finally, I started asking women who had been married 15 years or more for their advice–and that's when I was in for a real shock. What they told me was so contrary to what I'd seen my mom do growing up that it just didn't make sense to me. Still, I was willing to try anything to avoid the pain and embarrassment of getting divorced, so I decided to give their suggestions a go. When some of those seemingly crazy suggestions worked, I kept doing them. Of course, not all of them did, but after a while I saw a pattern.
I ended up with just six skills that really had an impact on the happiness and connection level at my house. I kept doing those six things, which I called the intimacy skills, as best I could. Honestly, I wasn't very good at them yet because I was still learning and finding my way. It took me a couple of years to figure it all out. But I could see that when I stuck to the six skills, things improved immediately. When I didn't, well, things didn't go so well at our house.
I started enlisting my girlfriends to try out the six intimacy skills and I think this was my first attempt at relationship coaching. We met in my living room to talk strategy and have lunch. Our mission was to restore our marriages to their original glory. I wasn't sure if the six skills I'd learned would work for them too, but it didn't take long to find out. They showed up with romantic stories and signs of success for their relationship and even their finances. One husband got a raise, another one won a sales contest and took his wife on a trip, and another painted the den that they'd been bickering about for months. That was just the outward evidence that something in those relationships had shifted for the better.
A few months later I was noticing my husband was being so thoughtful, and that he looked so handsome. I noticed he was taking more initiative–from announcing we were going out to dinner to deciding it was time to stain the deck so initiating sex. He started his own successful business and took over handling the household bills so I didn't have to worry about them. He was also doing the dishes without me having to ask him six times––or at all. He wasn't watching as much TV or looking as depressed and dejected. My friends were commenting that my husband looked different. "What's changed?" they asked me. I knew that the six intimacy skills were doing their magic because we were laughing together again, and holding hands, and enjoying physical intimacy like we hadn't been for years.
All of the women who met in my living room noticed their husbands were becoming more romantic and thoughtful. We felt more desired and attractive–more dignified too. Our husbands were more attentive to the kids and were helping out around the house more. They seemed happier and we were too. We couldn't believe the transformation. It was like we had figured out a way to turn the clock back to the beginning of the relationship when it was so exciting and we felt so adored.
Word spread, and dozens of women came to me for help. I showed them the six intimacy skills and gave them relationship coaching, and the results were always the same. When a wife learned and practiced those skills, her relationship improved dramatically in about two weeks. One of the things women would say a lot was, "I feel like I have a new husband!" But of course, he wasn't the one who changed–she did. And then he responded to her differently.
It took me a lot of years, a lot of hard work, and a lot of trial and error to figure all of this stuff out.
Now, I'm sharing all of my knowledge and know-how with other women–women who are married, or who want to be married, or who want to learn these skills well before they get married (that's what I wish I had done!). And…
I'm very happy to say that women are doing very well with everything they're learning! I've poured my heart and soul into this relationship coaching program and it's 100% guaranteed to make you happy and help you have the intimate, peaceful, passionate romance you deserve, even if your marriage has been broken for a long time. So far it's worked for thousands of women, in 26 countries and 15 languages.
and Your Happiness…
- Twice-a-month group coaching calls with step-by-step Intimacy Skills Training
- Exclusive access to The Solutions Forum
- Habit-forming homework
There's something magical about doing this work in a group, and it took me a while to realize what a difference it makes. When you hear another woman describe a problem you're having and didn't even think to bring up, the solution just clicks faster and deeper. Or you might be secretly relieved to hear someone you've grown to like admit that she threw a bag of cereal at her husband–proof positive that we've all done things in our relationships that we're not proud of. Just knowing there were other women like me was so comforting and fortifying–I thought of them whenever I was furious with my husband, and thought about how they were expecting me to do my best to cultivate an intimate, passionate, peaceful marriage. It helped me be more successful than I would have been by myself.
I've designed the small-group relationship coaching program to take you step-by-step through the skills and also give you the same benefit I had in my living room: the support of other women. Not only will you learn and practice the skills during each phone call, you'll get to hear other women asking questions about their relationships. You'll also get to ask your own questions so you know exactly how to approach your unique situation, and believe me–anything goes! There's something about the safety of the group and the anonymity of the phone (you don't have to use your real name) that makes it so we share very deeply and very personal details. Some of the situations you will hear are gripping, some are heartbreaking, many are inspiring and they're all riveting. A lot of them will remind you of your own relationship.
Your homework between relationship coaching calls is to practice just one specific skill so that it gets to feel familiar and becomes a habit. And don't worry if you miss the call–you can listen to the recording later. That said, don't miss the calls–there's such magic in being on the call live. You'll see what I mean after you experience it yourself.
This step-by-step relationship coaching program will eliminate the frustrations and struggles in your marriage by showing you how to inspire your man to want to make you happy and treat you tenderly. It will also help free you up from having so much responsibility and eliminate a lot of bickering and blowouts. Your physical intimacy will improve, of course, and so will your prosperity as a family. You might think that's an outlandish claim, but I've seen it too many times to doubt it. There's a very good scientific explanation for it, which you'll learn about on the calls.
Whether you think your man is too clingy, too distant, too angry or too wimpy, you'll discover how to cultivate a relationship that will lead you to say "I can't believe how wonderful my husband is."
Create Intimacy Now
Watch your love life transform starting today! Learn and practice the practical, proven habits that create connection, passion and peace immediately.
Get more gifts, compliments and Help
Attract more tenderness as you increase your capacity for being cherished, which also makes you more beautiful. Get the help you need with everyday chores.
Restore Your Dignity
Become more attractive as you calmly express your desires in a way that inspires. (Great for family, friends and co-workers also.)
End Loneliness and Conflict
Learn the tools to prevent drama, distress and distance and live in a sweet, loving relationship. You also get more energy for your life's purpose.
Honor Your Feminine Spirit
Get the self-care and special treatment you deserve when you make yourself happy by amping up your pleasure, relaxation and fun.
Gain an Amazing Community
Gain a wealth of wisdom from your intimacy coach and the courageous, funny, inspiring new friends in your Self- Care Circle.
I want you to feel very comfortable making the decision to enroll in relationship coaching, so I'm taking away all of the risk. You shouldn't have to wonder if this program really works. I think it's only fair for you to be able to try it out for yourself and make sure it works. So . . .
I'm giving you 30 days to listen, learn, and test it out yourself. If you don't LOVE it, and actually see it working in your relationship, then you don't have to pay for it! If you don't love my relationship coaching program, just let us know why and you will get a full refund!
I know how gratifying it is to finally have a happy, easy, loving relationship after spending several miserable years thinking I was going to have to get divorced. Sometimes I'm so happy to be in such a sweet, supportive, playful marriage it moves me to tears. I don't want you to rob yourself of this kind of relationship one second longer. Please try out this program and watch the transformation take place!
I wish you the best in your romantic relationship. If you try my relationship coaching program, I'd really like to hear how it's working for you. I believe that women who learn these six intimacy skills and use them to create intimacy, passion and peace in their homes are a powerful force for change on Earth. If every woman in the world had these skills, we could end divorce. It would really make a difference.

#1 General Comment
Issue Remains Unsettled
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, September 04, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, September 04, 2013
As this consumer was dissatisfied with the service and the owner of Hitman Motorsports refused to resolve the problem, the issue was taken to civil court nine years ago where a Judge ruled that the owner of Hitman Motorsports was to pay the consumer $500.00 for repair of the engine. A Judgment was issued in favor of the consumer and legal court notices were provided to the owner of Hitman Motrorsports.
This issue remains unresolved because the owner of Hitman Motorsports chose to ignore the legal court ruling and not issue payment to the consumer. With regard to other credible complaints, there are other complaints listed on the VTX Owners Association forum and other complaint sites.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Grab any invoice you like off my desk and call any of our numerous customers and ask them what they think of me and the quality of service our shop offered them. Please feel free to check the internet, the only negative reviews you will find are from Kenneth Galleo as he has tried to tarnish my name for years over a single business dispute with him.
Please feel free to ask any boater you know around White Bear Lake what they think of me. Hugos Goose Lake Marine and Power Sports services the majority of the boats on the Docks of White Bear for many years now with very loyal customers who keep bringing their boats back to us every year, ask them what they think about the quality of service our shop offers.

Posted on 02/13/2007 10:43:22 AM PST by DogByte6RER

I think I can hear Rodney Dangerfield tight now.
Dude, that's Henny Youngman you hear.
"My wife cut me down to one time a month. I guess I shouldn't feel so bad because she cut off the other two guys completely."
Maybe he was being too demanding. Probably a Taipei personality.
"I got in a cab the other night. I asked the driver to take some place where I could get some action. He took me to my house!"
I cannot make a final determination until I see what this guy looks like.... LOL!
These days I'm satisfied if I can get into a tight parking space.
With my dog I don't get no respect. He keeps barking at the front door. He don't want to go out. He wants me to leave.
What a dog I got. His favorite bone is in my arm!
Last week I saw my psychiatrist. I told him, "Doc, I keep thinking I'm a dog." He told me to get off his couch.
I worked in a pet store and people kept asking how big I'd get.
My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.
I'll tell ya, my wife and I, we don't think alike. She donates money to the homeless, and I donate money to the topless!
One night I came home. I figured, let my wife come on. I'll play it cool. Let her make the first move. She went to Florida.
I asked my old man if I could go ice-skating on the lake. He told me, "Wait til it gets warmer."
Bump for later read.
"My mother didn't breast feed me, she told me that she liked me as a friend."
"I figured I would walk my dog to pick up girls. Turns out my dog was using me to pick up other dogs."
Chen, better check "her" hardware there.
Just before he died I remember him saying as he was admitted to the hospital, "If things go well, I'll be out in two weeks, if they don't, I'll be out in two hours."
Maybe this guy should rent "The Crying Game."
You mean this isn't normal....?
I come home from work and there's a guy running naked in front of my house. I asked, why are you running naked in front of my house? He said, because you came home early!
I hate myself for laughing at that, and you should be ashamed.
All night, or just formosa the night?
I think someone should have explained to her what "consummate" meant before she signed the contract. *chuckle*
"When Chen tried to sleep with her, the report said, she pushed him away shouting: "You are ridiculous!"
God, I miss Rodney. He was the king of the one-liners. What a funny guy he was.
I installed a mirror above my dining room table.
The other day my kid walked in on me. I had to cover my main dish.
This thread has some serious joke potential.
"With my wife I don't get no respect. I made a toast on her birthday to 'the best woman a man ever had.' The waiter joined me."
I take it he didn't test drive the car before he bought it.
Maybe she actually said he was "really dickless"...
"I know my wife cheats on me....I bought a used car and found her dress in the back seat!"
"And kids these days! They get pregnant from eating chicken. It's finger-licking good and one thing leads to another!"
"she refused to consummate the marriage on the wedding night because she was too tired "
Hey, ive heard that one a lot too.
Yes sir, it's true: this man has no dick.
I heard about a man that rented a motel room and made a call to an escort service. His wife seemed to have a permanent headache and didn't want him to bother her in bed.
He was very shocked when she knocked on his door.
Thanks, Rodney, you were great...
I'm thinking Chen has very small feet and drives a very big car.
Trashy Tuesday ping!
"There's only one thing wrong with my wife's face - it shows!"

Definition of ichthyosaur in English:
(also ichthyosaurus /ˌikTHēəˈsôrəs/)
An extinct marine reptile of the Mesozoic era resembling a dolphin, with a long pointed head, four flippers, and a vertical tail.
- Order Ichthyosauria, subclass Diapsida: numerous genera, including Ichthyosaurus.
Example sentences
- They included the great marine reptiles such as ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs, but also smaller creatures such as ammonites and belemnites - the precursor's of today's squid.
- Vertebrate remains include isolated skeletal elements and tooth plates of palaeonisciform and actinopterygian fish, as well as body fossils of ichthyosaurs and other marine reptiles.
- More distantly related to true dinosaurs were the marine plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs.
- Example sentences
- The notion that some ichthyosaurian behavior - such as spawning, stranding, or coastal foraging - brought these Shonisaurus together is improbable.
- The largest ichthyosaurian eye that I've measured was 264 mm across, and belonged to a Temnodontosaurus platyodon.
- So here are some estimates of ichthyosaurian weight that I have calculated using a computer program called PaleoMass.
Mid 19th century: from ichthyo- 'fish' + Greek sauros 'lizard'.

Should Kirk's frustration-fueled rash decision to put Ensign Sue in the brig (where she finally finds she's brought down to normal) count as a Kick the Dog moment and later a Nice Job Breaking It, Hero one when he realizes she's the only one who seemed to care about helping them—and his action now suddenly might have tossed her to the Dark Side (especially when Anna Mae Sue freed her, Ensign Sue has a steeled look on her face, meaning she's not about to be fooled again by her "Captain" showing his "true colors"). And faced with internal monologuing to get his head straight, Empress Sue razzes "Nice dramatic monologuing. You're really getting in touch with your inner Sue!"

Wilder is no way ready for Wlad. He was sent home from the Haye camp and was utterly outclassed vs Wlad in sparring. He needs at least 3 fights vs strong opponents before you could accept his challenge. If he fought Chisora, Fury and another fringe contender or previous challenger like a Solis or Arreola then fine. But as of now, he's a novice with a padded record.

The thing is there is only a few big fights there.
It's Fury, Povetkin, Pulev and that's pretty much it. (I don't count Haye)
Wlad has 10 more fights before he retires I believe. He can do what Mayweather is doing or he can fight 'bums' in the meantime. I prefer the later.
After Haye fight, Wlad had only one worthy opponent left and that was Povetkin. Now Pulev has grown up, Fury is still growing...
Wlad will fight them all if they remain unbeaten or worthy. As Banks said the winner of fury/wilder would get his chance asap.

It's that Pianeta
It's the second time in the history of HW world championships that a genuine heavyweight+unbeaten+southpaw has been defeated, let alone KOed. The first time was Wlad vs Chagaev.
Get used to Wlad breaking one record after the other.

Officers have arrested Sean Edward Dietz of Biloxi on a charge of possession of child pornography.
The Sun Herald reports the 22-year-old Dietz is being held at the Harrison County on a $25,000 bond.
Attorney General Jim Hood did not release details but said his cyber-crime division handled the case with help from the Harrison County Sheriff's Department and the Biloxi Police Department.
If convicted, Dietz faces up to 40 years in prison. It wasn't immediately clear if Dietz has an attorney.
The attorney general's office announced a second arrest Thursday for possession of child pornography.
42-year-old Samuel Fletcher of Long Beach was arrested Wednesday by investigators with the cyber-crime division with assistance from the Long Beach Police Department. He was charged with three counts of possession of child porn.
"As we promised with the formation of this task force, we are going after those people in this state who are downloading child porn," said Hood.

The fight between two major national unions to represent Vermont home care workers is heating up.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Workers and Service Employees International Union are accusing one another of being from out of state and having too few ties to Vermont.
About 60 SEIU supporters rallied at the Statehouse before going down the street to the state Labor Board to drop off petitions to get on the ballot in an upcoming union election. AFSCME filed its petitions several weeks ago.
AFSCME supporters are accusing SEIU of bullying tactics in getting people to sign petitions; SEIU is denying that.
The unions are vying to represent an estimated 8,000 workers who care for disabled Vermonters in their homes.

Yukino is the leader of the Service Club, of which she is the sole member until Hachiman joins her. She is smart, beautiful, and is nicknamed the "Ice-cold Beauty" for her icy demeanor. She has a twisted sense of "noblesse oblige," and believes that it is the duty of the exceptional (in other words, herself) to help the "lost lambs" of the world. Her personality often leads her to be disgusted at the naivety of others, particularly Yui's, and she does not hesitate to show it. Despite this, Yui still affectionately calls her "Yukinon."

"So Easy!"
22 August 2013
This review is for an older version of this product
Having tried several steam mops and a few mops and buckets without being completely happy I decided to have one last try with this product and its suggested mop. So pleased I did as its the best system I have ever used. The mop squeezes well with just one action and gets the floor clean. Also the bucket is easy to pull along to the next section to be cleaned. Please keep supplying the replacement mop heads Lakeland for future needs.

Hahahaha!!! You asked for this Pixie Poof....
Wenger on Rooney...
"If you expect your team to win you have to take your BEST player even if he doesn't play the first three games."
Wenger added: "He is a GREAT player. The other day he had a bad reaction. I've seen that from (Zinedine) Zidane and many great players. It's sometimes a consequence of the immense pressure they are under; everybody expects them always to do something special."
"I do not want Rooney to lose his aggression because I admire him as a player," said the Frenchman
"Mentally and physically he is a great player and you do not want him to lose that. He is a top, top level player and you want him to keep that but know when to use it and when not to use it.
"Rooney is a GREAT player. I am convinced he will stay at Manchester United because it is his club. We are not interested in buying him as we have Bendtner and Walcott." (PMSL!!!)
Wenger said, "I believe what is good in Jack's case [is] he reminds me a bit of Rooney
"Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain looks to have [the same fearlessness as Rooney]," Wenger told Arsenal's official site.
My personal favourite...
Van Persie: "Of course I'd love to play with Wayne Rooney," he said. "I've said many times before he's a world-class player, one of the best. I always look at players and like to see that they can adapt in every single game and Rooney can do that. He scores goals and makes assists."
"Manchester United breathe football in every aspect, for me it was quite soon that I made my decision," he said.
I put that last bit in for my own amusement!
And stop drooling over our BACK UP strikers Wenger you huge PRUNE!!!
Trouble is Eric, Arsene buys these extremely average (if that) players, Arsenal pay them an extremely generous wage and then we can't get rid of them.
Bendtner and park were put out on loan because no one wanted to buy them and meet their wage demands. Ditto Denilson and we couldn't even loan out Squilacci and Chamakh.
The problem with loaning out players you want to unload is that this doesn't solve the problem unless they have a remakable season; and if they don't them the problem gets worse. You just have to allow them to see out their contract (and release them for free thereafter) or else buy them out.
The trouble with Kroenke is that he's a businessman but not a football fan.
- 2 Replies to Roger E
The thing that makes me laugh is that Wenger has been saying for years he will only buy " top top top" players yet somehow we have a load of average players!?!?
I believe Kroenke has set the template that the transfers in and out must balance out. He is not going to pump money in. Spend within the financial model. The dross we want to shift nobody wants them and even if they are bought, we get 5million and below. So the key players are sold to provide funds to purchase new players. Arsenal will always be selling established players to buy reinforcements. Also the issue of waiting till the contracts are in the final 12months before renegotiating is showing the down side - cos all the players who are really serious about winning trophies move on and those that are not like Rosicky, Djourou etc extend for a nice salary whilst contributing minimal to the team results. I am so disappointed the way things are going. There is no depth, I only pray we don't have the defence injuries of last year cos the thought of relying on Djourou and God forbid SQUILLACI to come in fills me with my worst nightmare. Anyway hope they play well this season and get some good results.
