This summer's most overused movie gimmick
I've seen many to most of the summer movies so far and noticed several of them feature a variation on the same scene that guarantees they will not be shown by airlines - the breaking apart of an airplane in mid-air sending passengers plummeting to their deaths.
All seem to be a variation of a similar scene in "The Dark Knight Rises," in which the villain Bane proceeds to destroy and escape from the plane on which he is held a prisoner. »Read Full Blog Post(5)

APT's 'Verona' a tale of growing pains
Spring Green — If one cuts through the nostalgic gauze surrounding late adolescence, most of us have scar tissue involving imperfectly healed memories of the friends we hurt and loves we lost while trying to figure out who we were and what we wanted.
While it's often staged as a light-hearted romp featuring two early Shakespearean clowns and a show-stealing dog, Shakespeare's "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" is all about these growing pains that are part of growing up. »Read Full Article

HI ladies,
My name is Rea (pronounced ray) and my husband just PCS'd here on the 10th. I have an almost 5 month old son and know exactly one person on the island, but he's currently on leave, figures right?!?!
We're going to housing tomorrow to find out where they're going to put us. Right now we're staying at the Westpac on Camp Foster.
I'd love to meet some moms here and start to get a social life of some sort going. For the time being I'm a SAHM, but that will probably change with in a couple months.
Look forward to hearing for you,

Celebrities are trend setters. They wear cool clothes, they say cool things, and do a dozen other things we the public tend to copy at times. Unfortunately, it's not all cool things with celebrities. They certainly have their share of vices, just like the rest of the world. The only difference is: there are millions of eyes on them not us.Smoking cigarettes was once a celebrity trend that the public emulated with amazing vigor. These days it's not so bad. In fact, at times we don't even know the celebrities we love smoke. Perhaps that's a good thing. So who are those cool celebrities you may have not known that enjoy a cigarette or two or six?

Kristen Stewart?? No way!!!
This article is interesting enough that it doesn't need your anti-smoking insults under every picture. We get it. You disapprove.
Wow aren't you just a ray of sunshine!
This article is completely misogynist. Why aren't you going after MALE smokers? Secondly, cancer from smoking is a myth. We are ALL breathing in depleted uranium, toxic chemicals and Fukushima radiation on a 24/7 basis. Smoking has nothing to do with cancer as it's all junk science and is being pushed onto the public by paid medical shills of Big Pharm.

Watch your back!, São Paulo
15 Reviews
15 Reviews
There is a big difference between big cities in poor countries and big cities in developed countries.
In Sao Paulo for example, thieves point a gun at you, and sometimes they fire.
This is not usual in other countries. Motorcyclists can put a gun in your head when you are in a taxi ride to take your smartphone, hand baggage, wallet etc...
This is the true.
My husband was on a business trip in Brazil last year. He was travelling with a business partner. They stopped to take a picture on the Anchieta Highway (from my understanding, a well-travelled toll road) in the middle of the day. They were robbed at gunpoint. My husband was shot and killed. I have read that thieves only want your money and possessions. This has shattered our lives. As a tourist, you think it can never happen to you... think again. Please take these warnings seriously.
São Paulo has its problems but is not different from any other big city all over the world... New York has 9/11, London 7/7 bombings, Madrid 3/11... I was born and raised in São Paulo, don't have a bullet proof car and I'm still alive to come here and write this review. If you know where to go, nothing will happen to you.
I'm from SP - in my family (5 people) there have been 3 kidnappings, 4 armed robberies (while in car), 2 cars stolen and 3 cars broken into. IT IS COMMON TO HAVE THIS MANY OR MORE CASES LIKE THIS IN A FAMILY - and it happens to rich or poor, doesn't matter!!!!!
when you are walking thorugh some São Paulo´s streets, you have to be aware...
folow simple instructions:
-Never walk with jewelry,watches,notebooks through São Paulo streets, day or night..you can be an easy target for " trombadinhas"
-when you go to Ibirapuera´s Park hide your money very well
-inside cars: when car stops, never be distracted...be aware of anything surround you and close the windows..it´s better..it´s a huge city with a lot of social distortion..
-i prefer to use taxi instead bus...if you want to use São Paulo´s metrô ( subway), if you don´t know it, go there with someone who knows target..São Paulo subway is very good, one of the good things made here...
Phone: 190 (police),193(emergency)
Do be careful. In Sao Paulo, as in many cities, there are many people who will take advantage if given the opportunity.
I had the misfortune of being stalked during my short visit there, but was lucky to be able to shake my pursuer.
Standard precautions are a must:
-Do not travel alone, if at all possible
-Do not walk about after dark
-Keep to public places where there are others around
If you follow these precautions, you will probably have a very enjoyable visit!
Sao Paolo is a big city and lots of tourist come here each year, some people have good experiences and the rest are not lucky. This place has high level of crime activity especially in tourist areas. The area around Se Cathedral is dangerous, be extra careful when stepping out of your car to get a photo of something. Lots of people are already watching you, so take care of your belongings all the time. Police are no where in sight so when you need help, no one will respond.
Homeless people hang around places like Luz station, Se Cathedral, Municipal theatre, Liberdade Avenue, Sao Bento monastery. Parks are not that safe either, don't stroll parks by yourself. When visiting flea markets be wary of pickpockets.
When buying bags, they might look like leather but ask first before buying, they would tell you if it's not real leather.
Taxi drivers don't have change, so carry enough small bills with you. Hire only taxi or tour guides from your hotel don't hail a taxi anywhere.
Well, SP has 16 million people, of which about 40% are poor. It means it's a violent city.
People talk a lot about violence in Brazil.. I have to admit, it's not the safest place to be in the world. Still not the worse one!
So, what I suggest, specially for typical turists: don't show off your camera(s). Don't talk to strangers, unless it's in a store, etc. People love robbing foreigners because they're nayve, so be aware on the streets and in bars.
Important thing: DON'T buy drugs in the streets (nor bars). Really. A friend of mine got ripped off by the police in Rio because he bought marijuana from a hippie in a boteco.
About traffic... well, traffic is BUSY in SP. Be carefull when crossing the streets!
Oh, and when you arrive in the airport, you can get a special bus to the city or get a taxi. Although, be sure to get a taxi related to the airport, which means you pay for your ride BEFORE (inside the airport). --> this works just in the airport. In the city, you pay the taxidriver like anywhere else in the world.
Sao Paulo is a dangerous city. Always be in the look out. As traveler we stand out and people may take an advantage. It is very comon for cars to have bullet proof windows wsuch as these Toyota Corolla.
It's not a new tip for big cities, you have to be careful with your belongings. If you are a tourist and look like one...the best thing to do is wear a moneybelt. backbags are practic to walk around, but are easy to be opened! When u r in malls or restaurants u don't have to be as careful as in the street, bus, walking, in the car...don't wear too fancy clothes to take a bus...
I used many buses and the subways...I don't look brazilian and well...nothing happened to me...but u have always to be careful, look around...try not to go to dark places alone and so on ...u probably know all this, but being careful is never too much!
Sao Paulo is unfortunately a dangerous city. High unemployment rates and social problems have led to very high crime rates, mostly in the poorer areas of the city. However, crime´s all over! But don´t worry, it´s not like you go out on the streets and you´re robbed. Shopping malls, supermarkets, banks and public buildings are safe. If you´re driving, don´t have your windows all open if you´re driving through an area which you might consider kind of suspicious. Public buses are a danger!!!! Subways are very safe. Police number... 190.
if you use common sense you'll be OK, but be alert. the city is always full of bustling crowds so just go with the flow. i did wander into some seedy neighborhoods alone... and i'm not a large woman, so it was not a good idea. A beggar attacked me, but it wasn't a big deal, just shaken nerves on my part. I normally otherwise have decent street sense, and felt pretty safe during my trip. There are lots of muggings.
DO NOT look like the 'typical tourist' wandering around, carrying a big camera in places you are not familiar with.
Do not wear gold, watches, or anything to call the attention. And ALWAYS carry a little bit of money in a separate spot where your documents and real money are (hidden). You'll never know when you'll have to 'give away' $$$. Get smart! Do not react EVER if a bandid tries to rob you - He/ She won't think twice to kill you if he/ she finds him/herself in dangerous.
There are pickpockets in Avenida Paulista and surroundings, so be attentive with your belongings. Another favorite place for pickpockets is in the centre of São Paulo (Praça da Sé and surroundings). Usually nobody helps you when someone is robbing you (if you shout for help or something). If you happen to take a bus or subway in rush hours, keep your belongings in front of you. Pickpockets do a trick when you enter a bus (they are also searching for victims in bus stops) and pretend to get on the wrong bus and suddenly decide to get off when you are entering. At this moment he/she takes the advantage to steal your wallet in your purse. If you decide to rent a car in São Paulo (air-conditioned car is better because you can keep the windows closed, also don't forget to lock the doors), be careful when you stop at traffic lights (at night is even worse that many drivers don't stop at traffic lights afraid of being robbed). Don't let bags or purses on the passenger's seat, try to hide them. If it happens that someone robs you, try to keep calm and give what the robber wants. It's advisable to keep a second wallet especially to give to robbers. If you go shopping, be attentive with your belongings, and when using credit cards keep an eye on them.
Sao Paulo is big city, so like all the big cities in the world you have to be carefull especially at night.
Other than be cerefull if the rain start, jump on a taxi or find a good area to wait....

its the worst I have ever visited. You have been warned.
Brazil: It was a great experience for me because i was with my husband to a professional course for two weeks organised very well and all the brazilian experience was very well planned, except the last day.
It was the only date when we left to the airport alone in a taxi, not with the group, everybody having different flight schedule.
We were on the highway in daylight at 18 pm at not more then 10 minutes to the airport when a car with two 16 years old favelas guys with guns stopped the taxi, threatened us and taking all they could take in 40 seconds, including our money, credit cards and passports!
We had the worst two days until we managed to solve our provisional living tickets from Brazil, but we had great help from the course organiser, otherwise we would have been in a really bad place because our embassy wasn't in sao paulo, where everything happened, but in rio, and without money, credit card and passport...i don't want to know.
So, Brazil, is dangerous, no mater what you say.
It is a country of contrasts with beautiful and great people and places, but with lots of favelas and dangerous people and places.
It is just a story that must help you to be more careful than us when you will visit Brazil.
Everybody told us that we were lucky they didn't shot us.

In the history of the world few persons have attained that high degree of spirituality reached by Madame Guyon.
Born in a corrupt age, in a nation marked for its degeneracy; nursed and reared in a church, as profligate as the world in which it was embedded; persecuted at every step of her career; groping as she did in spiritual desolation and ignorance, nevertheless, she arose to the highest pinnacle of pre-eminence in spirituality and Christian devotion.
She lived and died in the Catholic Church; yet was tormented and afflicted; was maltreated and abused; and was imprisoned for years by the highest authorities of that church.
Her sole crime was that of loving God. The ground of her offense was found in her supreme devotion and unmeasured attachment to Christ. When they demanded her money and estate, she gladly surrendered them, even to her impoverishment, but it availed nothing. The crime of loving Him in whom her whole being was absorbed, never could be mitigated, or forgiven.
She loved only to do good to her fellow-creatures, and to such an extent was she filled with the Holy Ghost, and with the power of God, that she wrought wonders in her day, and has not ceased to influence the ages that have followed.
Viewed from a human standpoint, it is a sublime spectacle, to see a solitary woman subvert all the machinations of kings and courtiers; laugh to scorn all the malignant enginery of the papal inquisition, and silence, and confound the pretensions of the most learned divines. She not only saw more clearly the sublimest truths of our most holy Christianity, but she basked in the clearest and most beautiful sunlight while they groped in darkness. She grasped with ease the deepest and sublimest truths of holy Writ, while they were lost in the mazes of their own profound ignorance.
One distinguished divine was delighted to sit at her feet. At first he heard her with distrust; then with admiration. Finally he opened his heart to the truth, and stretched forth his hand to be led by this saint of God into the Holy of Holies where she dwelt. We allude to the distinguished Archbishop Fenelon, whose sweet spirit and charming writings have been a blessing to every generation following him.
We offer no word of apology for publishing in the Autobiography of Madame Guyon, those expressions of devotion to her church, that found vent in her writings. She was a true Catholic when protestantism was in its infancy.
There can be no doubt that God, by a special interposition of His Providence, caused her to commit her life so minutely to writing. The duty was enjoined upon her by her spiritual director, whom the rules of her church made it obligatory upon her to obey. It was written while she was incarcerated in the cell of a lonely prison. The same all-wise Providence preserved it from destruction. We have not a shadow of doubt that it is destined to accomplish tenfold more in the future than it has accomplished in the past. Indeed, the Christian world is only beginning to understand and appreciate it, and the hope and prayer of the publisher is, that thousands may, through its instrumentality, be brought into the same intimate communion and fellowship with God, that was so richly enjoyed by Madame Guyon.

Do you know that some self-help books have been scientifically shown to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and change behaviors? "Bibliotherapy" uses books in two ways: First, it can inspire you to reflect on a certain topic, often by identifying with a story's character. Second, it can give you structured approaches to address specific problems. Bibliotherapy can be useful for self-help, but it's often most effective when paired with expert guidance or psychotherapy. The approach can target everyday concerns and is effective with adults of all ages, dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, alcohol abuse, addictions, insomnia, eating disorders, and migraines. Bibliotherapy can also help children and even assist parents to help their children become less anxious.
For structured approaches, the emphasis is often one of the following:
- Experiencing new ways to think about your situation so you also can explore new emotions and new behaviors.
- Letting your values guide your behaviors while you tune into and accept whatever difficult emotions you're facing.
- Recognizing how you usually relate to other people and making thoughtful choices about how you want to relate to others moving forward.
If you decide to use the self-help approach without a therapist, it's likely to be most helpful if you're already feeling motivated and energized to invite change into your life. Bibliotherapy can educate and empower you or your family, boost your awareness, and enable you to make self-directed change.
If you think bibliotherapy might be useful to you, consult a mental health professional and/or a librarian for recommendations. You also can explore the American Psychological Association's Bibliotherapy page, as well as the Department of Veteran Affairs Bibliotherapy Resource Guide.
Members of the military community know how hard it can be to be separated during deployments for months at a time, but even with miles between your loved ones, there are ways to communicate and connect. October 26th marks the Day of the Deployed, a day set aside to recognize the devotion and sacrifice of our military personnel who serve and their families who live outside our nation. The National Day of the Deployed pays tribute to those whose military service has sent them outside the United States to ensure its safety and security.
Lengths and frequency of deployments are always changing. Most service members have been deployed at least once and often for stretches of 3.5–12 months. One way service members can communicate with people back home is through letters. In fact, writing letters can help improve relationship satisfaction more than other forms of communication. It's easier to ensure privacy with a letter than with email or phone. More importantly, letters provide the writer opportunities to reread their work and take the time to express what they really mean.
There is no best formula for what to write in your letter. Couples can agree on rules for communication by talking through and finding agreement on what works well for both partners, such as staying away from certain topics. It's sometimes best to keep the focus positive, saving tense topics for later. Some may prefer to keep open communication to help maintain a sense of intimacy. Keep the guesswork out of what to write by talking about it, and then enjoy the connection you experience through letter writing.
Identity theft can completely disrupt your life and ruin your credit history if you don't catch it quickly, so learn what you need to do. So, what is identity theft? It's a serious crime in which someone assumes your identity by using your personal information or property—typically your Social Security number or credit cards—without your permission. There are three basic types of identity theft:
- Unauthorized or attempted use of existing credit cards
- Unauthorized or attempted use of existing checking accounts
- Unauthorized or attempted use of personal information to obtain credit cards, accounts, or loans or to commit other crimes
If your home is unoccupied for an extended time, it may be a goldmine for thieves to dig through trashcans, dumpsters, or storage areas for documents with useful pieces of information. Even if you're home, it could be as easy as stealing a credit card from your mailbox or wallet.
When you're getting ready for deployment, you can place an active duty alert on your credit reports that lasts for one calendar year. For more information about protecting your credit, review the Federal Trade Commission pamphlet Identity Theft – Military Personnel & Families. If it's too late for prevention, visit FTC's Identity Theft web page for information about how to recover.
It's a good idea to have a choice of coping strategies to meet the specific needs of each situation you face—some "problem-focused" and some "emotion-focused." During severe stress, you might find that your old ways of dealing with problems aren't doing enough to help. For example, your preferred way of coping in the past might have been venting to a friend about something you couldn't control. But now you may be overlooking direct actions you can take to fix the problem. Or perhaps you've always been an action-oriented problem-solver but now, even though it's unfamiliar to talk with others about what's bothering you, you might simply need someone to be a good listener. Take stock of your current coping strategies. We offer some suggestions here for how you can expand your arsenal. Consider which ones might be most useful for you personally in various situations.
Disagreements aren't necessarily bad. Good relationships hinge on being able to communicate different viewpoints effectively, express yourself well, and really hear your partner. Here are some communication tips:
- Start gently. Being direct is good, but you don't need to dive in so hard and fast that you trigger defensiveness.
- Own how you feel. You can be direct about how you feel without blaming anyone. And when you're drawn into a fruitless argument over who's to blame, it's difficult to argue about how you feel. Consider saying, "I felt totally unimportant" rather than "You totally ignored me."
- Really listen. Summarize what you heard without defensiveness. Really tune into how your partner feels and communicate that in your summary, even if you don't agree with why he or she feels that way.
- Criticize behaviors, NOT character. It's important to talk about specific actions that upset you. Rather than categorizing your partner as "the kind of person who…," stay focused on a specific and recent behavior.
- Always be respectful. Resist destructive temptations such as insults or name-calling; staying respectful is crucial for long-term communication success.
- Hang in there. Problems often can't be solved right away, but when talking together, persevere rather than escape: Don't "zone out," and don't storm away.
Chances are that neither you nor your partner is a mean person. Nonetheless, because you're human, your worst behaviors can come out during a difficult conversation. You might be aggressive, blame the other person, stop caring what the other person has to say, or you might work to avoid arguments altogether. But it doesn't have to happen this way. Following the tips above will help you communicate constructively. For more on these kinds of strategies check out Basic Training for Couples Communication.
Trust is an important part of relationships. It allows you to feel secure, depend on others, and take important risks with co-workers, family, and other important people. Whether as a team member or a partner, trust positively impacts commitment. Trust also tends to happen in two directions: You trust others and they trust you. You can't force trust, but there are some concrete steps you can take to foster trust—to help you feel more trusting of others and to help others trust you more. It's especially helpful to focus on what's in your control, that is, on what you can do. Read more here.
When a wounded, ill or injured service member returns home, his or her life has significantly changed, and so have the lives of the caregivers and family. DoD recognizes the importance of the caregiver and family in the recovery process. However, caregiving can be stressful, and you run the risk of burnout when you focus solely on others without time to recharge. So it's important to take time for yourself too. Read on to learn HPRC's top tips for caregivers and families.
The condition known as "dental caries" is the most common and chronic childhood illness, but you can help your child avoid it. Bacteria that build up on your children's teeth and produce acid can destroy enamel and dentin, leading to decay, infection, and cavities. Thankfully, there are a few simple ways to prevent this.
- If your young child uses bottles, make sure you put your child to sleep without a bottle.
- Avoid continual use of a bottle or sippy cup, especially with fluids other than water.
- Limit sugary foods and drinks, and the latter should include only 100% juice.
- Allow less than 4–6 oz. of 100% fruit juice per day.
- Start brushing your child's teeth twice a day as soon as their teeth are visible.
- Use no more than a pea size dot of fluoride toothpaste for children 3 and up and a dab the size of a grain of rice for younger children.
- Take your child to a dentist before the age of one.
- Parents and caregivers can spread bacteria to babies and children accidentally, so take care of your own teeth! And it's a good idea not to put food or other items into your child's mouth after they've been in your mouth, especially if you have a history of cavities.
If you use these simple tips, you can strengthen your child's teeth throughout childhood. For more information, check out the American Academy of Pediatrics article "Brushing up on oral health: never too early to start."
When stress threatens to overload you, be careful it doesn't spill over into your relationships. Stress can make you less patient with your loved ones, less able to solve problems well, and more disagreeable.
When you're under a lot of stress, you're also more likely to feel negative about your relationships. This generally leads to more fighting, which can be especially tough for military families if one of you deploys or leaves for training before you're able to rebalance your relationship and de-stress. While you're apart, negative feelings can fester and further damage your relationship.
But just knowing about how stress can impact your relationships is the first step. Next time you feel stressed out, don't let it fester. Instead, do something about it. To ease your stress, you can try:
- Deep breathing or another mind-body skill that can switch you from your body's stress response to its relaxation response.
- Exercise, which can make you feel better and lower your stress.
- Something just for fun, which can take your mind off your stress.
- Connecting with a loved one. Feeling loved and supported can also reduce stress.
Finally, if you're apart from your loved one, set aside time regularly to connect to him or her, regardless of the last fight you had. Try to give each other benefit of the doubt and move past the argument. You can always finish discussing it when he or she returns.
Deployment and other military-related separations can be tough on families, but many families can (and do) learn how to adapt to them. The regular rounds of separations that come with military life require constant adaptation. Naturally, when a partner is away from the family for a certain period of time (such as during deployment or training), those at home have to shift their roles and responsibilities to cover for the person who's away, especially with regard to childcare. When the service member returns home, then the family must shift roles again. These "accordion families" continuously contract and expand as members of the family are physically present or absent. Some families handle this smoothly, but others find it to be one additional hurdle to overcome again and again.
There are two important things you can do to help manage these repeat transitions:
- Work on everyone in the family communicating well.
- Try to stay as emotionally connected as you can while apart.
Of course, these tips are easier said than done. Think about how you usually handle separations: Do you emotionally distance yourself from your partner? Do you become more "needy"? How does your partner respond? Do you both do the same things, or do you have opposing emotional needs when apart? If you have children, how do your children respond?
If you have different emotional needs, this can create instant conflict and feelings of distance. One way around this is to talk about what you each need, figure out where there's common ground, and make a game plan that can fulfill each person's needs as much as possible while at home and when apart.
You can use the strategy on HPRC's card on communication skills to help better navigate these kinds of conversations. Plus, remember to not fall prey to these common thinking traps that create misunderstandings in relationships.

Solutions for Chapter 4
1. The total amount that would be credited to Income Summary as step 1 in the closing entry process must be computed. Best Buy's sales revenue for the fiscal year-ended February 26, 2005, is $27,433,000,000, its interest income is $1,000,000, and it has a gain on the disposal of discontinued operations of $50,000,000. Thus, its total revenue that is closed to Income Summary is $27,484,000,000.
2. The total expenses that would be debited to Income Summary as step 2 in the closing entry process must be computed. Best Buy's total expenses for the fiscal year-ended February 26, 2005, are:
Cost of goods sold $20,938,000,000
Selling, general and administrative 5,053,000,000
Income tax expense 509,000,000
Total expenses $26,500,000,000
3. The balance of Income Summary before it is closed as of February 26, 2005, equals the net income for Best Buy of $984,000,000.
4. From the cash flow statement, we see that Best Buy paid $137,000,000 in cash dividends.
5. Solution depends on the financial statements accessed.

The Burpee company was founded in Philadelphia in 1876 by W. Atlee Burpee, an 18-year-old with a passion for plants and animals and a mother willing to lend him $1000 of "seed money" to get started in business. Although it began as a livestock company, within 25 years Burpee had developed the largest, most progressive seed company in America. By 1915 Burpee was mailing a million catalogs a year to America's gardeners.
Burpee is still a family seed company and still in the Philadelphia area. Today Burpee is owned and operated by George Ball Jr.

Finding out that your spouse had an affair has to be one of the worst feelings imaginable. Suddenly, the foundation of your entire life is shaken and you feel so disoriented and lost. Here I want to help you learn how to trust again after an affair, since so many people have such a difficult time rebuilding that trust in their relationship.
Begin Fixing the Problems in Your Relationship Today
What many people don't realize is that there isn't just one kind of trust. Trust isn't just a simple thing that you either do or you don't do. Trust is actually a more complicated thing than that. In fact there are 5 types of trust. You might fully trust someone in one of these ways, while your trust in them might be shaky in other ways.
How to Trust Again – The 5 types of trust are:
Fidelity – This is probably what most people mean when the want to know how to trust again, especially after an affair. This type of trust is about staying loyal to your partner and not straying.
Physical Trust – This type of trust is about physical safety. In abusive relationships, this is the most lacking type of trust.
Financial Trust – This involves a basic sense of financial security and knowing that there will be enough money to handle the basic expenses of life.
Emotional Trust – This is another common type of trust issue following an affair. To learn how to trust after an affair, you need to cultivate emotional predictability so that both of you know that you will be there for each other emotionally.
Truthfulness – This type of trust is important as well. The simple act of honesty and truthfulness is a type of trust as well. If your spouse lied to you about parts of the affair, then this is going to be a big issue to overcome as well.
No matter which type of trust you are trying to rebuild, you must realize that how to trust again, especially how to trust after an affair, revolves heavily around transparency in your relationship.
This is especially true for the person that had the affair or otherwise broke the trust, but both partners need to practice transparency.
Both you and your spouse must start being completely open and transparent about everything that you are doing in the relationship. Over time this will allow for the trust to slowly rebuild over time and eventually flourish again.
Trust will take time at first. That's okay. You will have to make a conscious effort to trust your partner. This is all part of learning how to trust again. Let that be okay and have faith that the trust will come easier as you continue to build it and repair your relationship.
In learning how to trust again, you develop confidence in yourself and your relationship. When you learn to trust another person, you are actually on an unconscious level cultivating trust in yourself and your own judgments, and this in it's self makes trust one of the most important things in a relationship and in life.

Jets release Santonio Holmes
The curtain officially has closed on ToneTime's act with the New York Jets. They released Santonio Holmes on Monday, ending the controversial wide receiver's four-year career in green and white.
In the past two days, general manager John Idzik released cornerback Antonio Cromartie and Holmes, which cleared $17.75 million in salary-cap space.
Holmes caught 146 passes for 2,128 yards and 16 touchdowns in 43 games with the Jets.
"I appreciate Tone's contributions over the last four seasons," Rex Ryan said in a statement issued by the team. "I've always admired his knack for making the clutch play. He's a tremendous competitor who wants the ball in his hands when the game is on the line. I wish him nothing but the best."
Although the Jets are desperate for playmakers on offense, it was obvious Holmes wouldn't be a part of the equation in 2014, despite saying he'd be willing to "sacrifice" a portion of his salary to stick around. Holmes, who turned 30 March 3, agreed to restructure his contract last offseason, lowering his base salary from $11 million to $7.5 million.
With Holmes set to receive a $1-million roster bonus this week, it was a matter of when, not if, he would be released.
The Jets acquired Holmes, a first-round pick of the Steelers in 2006, for a fifth-round pick in 2010. The move by former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum, only days after the league announced Holmes would be suspended for the season's first four games for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, turned out to be a smart one.
But Tannenbaum has admitted he made a mistake giving Holmes a five-year, $45.25-million contract in 2011.
Although he helped the Jets reach their second consecutive AFC Championship Game in 2010, Holmes may be remembered best for his me-first attitude. Ryan made him a team captain, but Holmes' diva act wore thin with some teammates. The bad blood reached a tipping point during the 2011 season finale in Miami, when Holmes argued with teammates on the field and spent the final minutes sitting alone on the bench.
Controversy followed him the next year. His 2012 season was cut short by a Lisfranc injury in the fourth game. After hurting his foot on a catch, Holmes threw the ball directly at a 49er and it was returned for a touchdown.
Despite missing the 2013 training camp because of injury, Holmes started in Week 1 and had a breakout game against the Bills in Week 3, catching five passes for 154 yards and a TD. But he soon was plagued by injury again, a nagging hamstring problem that cost him five games.

Plant out young sweet pea plants in March for a scented display through the summer.
Sweet peas need support and a screen is a great way of exploiting their natural growing habit while introducing height, colour and scent in one season. Create a screen to separate your vegetable patch or add privacy to a seating area.
Any variety can be used, so work with your favourite colour scheme to create a screen that fits with your garden.
Alys Fowler demonstrates how to sow sweet peas for fragrant flowers in summer.

(How) Does The Sexual Orientation Of Parents Matter?
Judith Stacey
University of Southern California - Department of Sociology
Timothy Biblarz
University of Southern California - Department of Sociology
American Sociological Review, Vol. 66, No. 2, April 2001
Whereas opponents of lesbian and gay parent rights claim that children with lesbigay parents are at higher risk for a variety of negative outcomes, most research in psychology concludes, somewhat defensively, that there are no differences at all in developmental outcomes between children raised by lesbigay and heterosexual parents. This paper challenges this defensive conceptual framework and analyzes the ways in which heterosexism has hampered intellectual progress in the field. We discuss limitations in the definitions, samples, and analyses of the studies to date. Next we explore findings from 21 studies and demonstrate that researchers frequently downplay findings of difference regarding, in particular, children's gender and sexual preferences and behavior that could instead stimulate important theoretical questions. We propose a less defensive, more sociologically-informed analytic framework for investigating these issues that focuses on 1) the role of parental gender vis a vis sexual orientation in influencing children's gender development; 2) the role of selection effects produced by homophobia that may intervene in the relationships between parental sexual orientations and child outcomes; and 3) the relationship between parental sexual orientations and children's sexual preferences and behaviors.

Euro-Zone Consumer Prices Weaken to Five-Year Low
Consumer Prices in Euro Zone Grew 0.3% in August Year-Over-Year
FRANKFURT—Europe's struggle to prevent ultralow inflation from discouraging business investment and undermining the continent's fragile economy deepened as consumer prices dropped in August to a five-year low.
The data released Friday keeps pressure on the European Central Bank to take more dramatic stimulus measures to boost demand and inflation, and comes just days after ECB President Mario Draghi warned of the risks of investors' falling expectations for consumer-price growth. His remarks were seen as suggesting the ECB is moving closer to large-scale purchases of public and private debt, known as quantitative easing, at a time when the U.S. Federal Reserve is nearing an end of its stimulus program.
Most analysts expect the ECB to refrain from taking that step when it meets on Thursday, but some economists expect smaller easing measures, such as rate cuts, to underscore the ECB's resolve to act.
Consumer prices in the euro zone grew 0.3% in August from the previous year, the European Union's statistics office said Friday, down from 0.4% in July and far below the ECB's target of inflation just below 2%. Much of the decline reflected falling energy prices. Prices grew 0.9% when food, energy and other volatile items were excluded, up a bit from July. That removes some of the urgency for the ECB to respond as soon as next week.
Still, "the euro zone is one big shock away from deflation," said Stephen Cecchetti, professor at Brandeis University.
Deflation refers to persistent declines in prices that lead to a vicious cycle of weak profits and declining levels of business investment. The effects have already started to hit several euro zone members, particularly in southern Europe. Spain's consumer-price drop deepened to 0.5%. Italy on Friday reported its first annual decline in consumer prices since 1959, by 0.1%, based on its national measure. Five of the euro zone's 18 countries have falling prices, according to BNP Paribas. BNPQY 3.56 %
"Deflation is a serious threat for our business," said Giovanni Ferrero, chief executive of Ferrero International SA, the Italy-based maker of Nutella, Tic Tac and other candies and chocolates.
"We're not only in a situation of low inflation. In some markets, distributors are asking us for deflation," he said, referring to price cuts. Although this can be a positive for consumers' pocketbooks, the trend "in reality destroys value," he said. "The cost of production is constantly on the rise. It's unthinkable to expect that prices couldn't recover costs without cutting cash-flow generation, investments and jobs."
The threat of deflation is more pronounced in Spain, which has a public and private debt load equal to about three times the size of its gross domestic product. Weak or falling prices make it harder for households, businesses and governments to service debts that are typically paid off at fixed interest rates, since incomes and revenues stagnate in a deflationary environment.
Though the danger of too-weak prices was once limited to Greece and other struggling economies, it has spread to healthier economies, too.
"The environment in terms of pricing is very challenging," said Alexandre Ricard, deputy chief executive of French drinks maker Pernod Ricard SA, PDRDY 0.68 % which sells drinks ranging from Absolut vodka to Martell cognac.
Pernod Ricard on Thursday said that despite the pressure on prices amid low inflation in Europe, the company was able to increase prices for its drinks on average by 2% in its fiscal year, which ended June 30. Mr. Ricard predicted that in the 2014-2015 year, the company won't able to push through price hikes as high as that.
It isn't just business leaders who struggle with weak prices. They are a headache for central bankers, too. Fighting high inflation typically requires growth-draining rate increases, but it is easier for central bankers to explain what they are doing. People feel the pain when prices rise.
It is harder to explain using unusual tools such as negative interest rates or asset purchases to fight the opposite problem: when inflation is too weak. After all, central banks strive for low—albeit positive—inflation. And households benefit from lower prices, particularly for items that make up a big chunk of their budgets like food and energy. Businesses are helped when the prices for supplies and raw materials fall.
"Due to the fact that raw material prices did not increase as expected, we see an additional positive effect [of] around €80 million ($105 million) for this year," said Wolfgang Schaefer, chief financial officer of German tire and auto- parts maker Continental AG CTTAY 2.27 % .
But in the longer term, very low prices tend to damp business investments and hiring. The key question facing Europe, analysts said, is how long inflation stays near zero. In the most recent worrying development, the euro-zone economy stalled last quarter.
U.S. Federal Reserve officials worried about deflation threats earlier in the economic recovery, leading them to purchase trillions of dollars of bonds in an effort to boost the economy and guard against deflation. Now the central bankers face inflation that remains subdued, but at more comfortable levels.
A key U.S. inflation gauge released Friday by the Commerce Department showed prices up just 1.6% in July from a year earlier. That was below the Fed's 2% inflation target for the 27th straight month, giving Fed officials plenty of latitude to move cautiously in raising interest rates from near zero.
Central Bank Watch
Here is how the central banks in four major advanced economies have moved two key levers of monetary policy in recent years, and how two important economic indicators have responded. View the interactive.
The ECB has said quantitative easing is an option, but has resisted it on the expectation that inflation will gradually rise. The policy is unpopular in Germany, where it stirs deep-rooted fears of politically captive central banks financing governments by printing money.
But Mr. Draghi appeared to change course earlier this month when he said: "Over the month of August financial markets have indicated that inflation expectations exhibited significant declines at all horizons."
Inflation expectations are key to whether temporary, and sometimes beneficial, price declines morph into more pernicious deflation. Financial measures of how inflation will look starting in five years fell in August, as did consumer-based expectations.
Yet with the ECB having waited so long to try bold steps like bond buying, the question may arise "whether it is already too late," warned analysts at BNP Paribas.

Historical Traveler Reviews Balmer Lawn Brockenhurst
A great weekend
I booked a romantic weekend away at the Balmer Lawn Hotel, after reading some of the reviews I was expecting to be disappointed. How wrong I was!
The staff where attentive, pleasant and very efficient. Even a porter to assist with our luggage! I booked a forest view double and on check in was upgraded to a Four Poster.... The room also had a great view overlooking the front lawn (They where playing cricket! and on to the forest. The room was beautiful, great little extras that made the weekend special (Ordered a gold special package, that looked great sitting in the room on arrival) We ate in the restaurant for our evening meal, very good and nice as a treat, the second night we had a bar snack on the terrace as the weather was great, again very good. The outdoor pool was a nice surprise and most enjoyable. We would without a doubt recommend Balmer Lawn Hotel for weekend break and a big thank you to all the staff!
Great for a break in the New Forest
We booked a night at Balmer Lawn last minute, as a short break away. The hotel looked impressive from the drive, and once inside we were not dissappointed.
The reception desk staff were attentive, pleasant and prompt and we had been complimentarily upgraded to a large four-poster room (room 9), which had recently been refurbished. The room also had two large windows which overlooked the front lawn and on to the forest. We were impressed with the standard of both the bedroom (which included a plasma tv) and the bathroom.
We did not eat in the restaurant for the evening meal, only for breakfast - which was average for a three-star hotel.
The indoor pool & sauna were extremely clean & enjoyable. The pool was large enough for some swimming but not really long enough for the more competent swimmer. The changing room showers were wonderful.
We would certainly recommend the newly-refurbished Balmer Lawn Hotel for short breaks (especially if you get a good late deal).
Not good
As we approached this lovely looking hotel we were sure we made the right choice in booking this hotel. As we checked in a piano was playing creating a wonderful ambiance - however don't be fooled by this as this is where the good things end.
I wouldn't normally be this picky but because I had such a bad time here i am going to comment on everything that was wrong about this place which on their own (apart from the restaurant food) would be acceptable.
The guest lift is near a swinging door where i nearly got hit by a member of staff carrying a pot of tea and cups so I had to do an amazing swerve (carrying my baby) - health and safety issue i am sure.
Then to the room, very tired and worn which you could accept as the view was quite nice but the bathroom, well, what can i say, the tiles on the floor were cracked and lifted up in areas, where, yes you guessed it, I stubbed my toe, i promptly laid a towel on the floor to walk on, it really was that bad.
We had requested a travel cot when we arrived at 3pm the receptionist said she would get it delivered before five- yep you guessed it, it did not arrive so had to ask again.
But that wasn't the worst of it. The restaurant was rated as serving very good food - umm, no it did not, the food was flavourless, warm and far from reaching any standard at all, overall very disappointing and believe me not cheap either.
So my advice if you are wise to take it, is don't stay here you will probably regret it as we did I am sure.
Good service, rooms a bit tatty
Went for a saturday night stay with a small baby. The family rooms have been updated (superior rooms), but have a view of the back of the buildings, though thanks to this web site we knew that. They can provide a small room adjoining a 'standard' room. Somewhere for the baby to sleep in. We went for that. Standard rooms have tatty bathrooms, and the room itself could do with some redecoration. Bed was very large, clean and comfortable. nice view over forest, made up for worn bathroom.You actually get a teapot and biscuits too.
The heated indoor pool is really a childrens pool. Ideal for us. The Jacuzzi seems home made and has some very sharp edges in it. Nice gym.
lots of helpful staff everywhere cleaning and polishing.
The 'gourmet' restaurant has 2 AA rosettes. The food and service was good, though the food was not as good as 2 rosettes might imply. May have just been me. Most guests were really happy with the food its seems. You do not get much food for your money!! If you order coffee and petit fours you only get 2 choclates !! seemed a bit mean, as is charging 10 pounds for a Cot, every other hotel I have tried does not charge. On friday / saturday night there is a pianist - very good.
It is expensive to stay there, try shopping around on the internet to get the best deal.
Its a worthwhile place to stay for a long weekend in the forest.
Excellent Service
A lovely hotel in a lovely setting.
The food in the restaurant is exceptional. They were very busy on the Sunday evening and our main course was delayed but they gave us a freebie sorbet and kept apologising.
The staff work very hard and I think they need extra bar staff for busy times.
The room was lovely and had a view across the new forest with ponies and cattle grazing on the grass.
The pool , jacuzzi and sauna were lovely. The pool is quite shallow so difficult to do serious swimming when part of it is only 0.6metres deep.
Breakfast on Sunday was disappointing. The food was lukewarm and had obviously been kept hanging around. on Monday it was all freshly cooked and much better.
A lovely relaxing weekend and I will return.
Ripped Off
A very disappointing 2 night stay at an extremely tired hotel. Our room was reminiscent of an old lady's bedroom. Everything was desperately worn, complete with cracked sink, cracked tiles, broken skirtings and an air of charity shops. The shower was no better than a leaking hosepipe, the showers in my local swimming pool are a million times plusher and more effective. We were expecting a wonderful weekend at a wonderful hotel but got quite the opposite. Room prices were well over the top, do not expect value for money. 1 out of 10 to Balmer Lawn, try looking in the yellow pages under 'Painters & Decorators'.
What a difference
The Balmer Lawn has regained its former glory, it had become a little tired and was in need of some refurbishment last time we visited three years ago. The transformation is geat, new bedrooms, new restaurant and friendly happy staff. Our family room was fantastic and even had its own Playstation 2 - great for the kids!!!
The restaurant food was second to none and the Restaurant Manager (Vincent) is a real character. We look forward to going back soon.
Lovely time, but a few problems
My husband and I stayed at the Balmer Lawn hotel for a weekend in March 2004. Overall, we had a lovely time but there were a few problems. Firstly, on entering the hotel, there was a distinct smell of paraffin in the lounge - not the most pleasant smell to be welcomed by. Secondly, our room looked out onto the centre of the hotel, so our "view" was of air conditioning units rather than the New Forest. As we were about to get changed we noticed workmen walking right outside our window, which was a bit disconcerting. Thirdly, the fitness centre was undergoing a major refurbishment, so we were unable to use the facilities in peace - something we were not informed about when we called to make our booking. Finally, after experiencing an enjoyable meal with excellent service on the Friday night of our stay, we decided to repeat the experience on the Saturday night. Unfortunately, the service was inconsistent to say the least. It took almost 40 minutes for the starter to be brought to our table and it was very late by the time our dessert was served, so we decided to forego the coffee and petit fours that were offered as an extra on the menu at ?5 a person. For some reason though, on checking out the next morning, these had been added to our bill. As I stated at the beginning of this review, despite these problems we had an enjoyable weekend in the New Forest. However, I feel the Balmer Lawn could certainly improve on aspects of its service if it is to truly justify the price it charges for its rooms.
It's not all roses
The Frommer's review makes the Balmer Lawn seem better than it is.
Stayed there in August 2003 with our 2 small children. We ate dinner one night (included) and breakfast two mornings in the hotel. Friendly staff but inconsistent quality. For walks into the New Forest it's in a good location (our kids liked all the horses and cows on our walks...
"it's a bit like where Shrek lives"). But note that the front of the hotel faces the very busy main road which passes through the New Forest (lots of traffic noise). Good indoor and outdoor pool. Walking distance to decent pubs.
As of August 2003 the Balmer Lawn has seen better days and needs updating. Tattered room, mildew in the bathroom, very very old plumbing and balconies that are in my view extremely unsafe for kids and not at all appealing. We stayed at many better places for the same or less money. We made the most of it but it was disapointing. Judge a book by it's cover.... even the "Balmer Lawn" sign is covered in rust!

"It is better to have people think you a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
-- Mark Twain
If you don't know don't speak. Despite what many believe Christianity is not one coherent doctrine. Look through history you will find cultures shaping it.
On the textual argument, translation is never 100% accurate as meaning can be lost because there is almost no such thing as word to word translation. On top of that, dialect and locational meanings can distort meanings of even original text.
The Holy Trinity can be taken many ways and has been. 3 separate entities bound by their divinity to be referred to together or 3 separate entities who are also one god are just two and the easiest to find.
To an outsider, Christianity may seem like one giant conglomerate of like minded people. I myself thought the same way about Islam until I did even the smallest amount of research. Religion may seem static but it changes as the people change. Even if it were proven that all religions were false you would still have believers and if there were no religion you would still have ideas to be fought over.
Too bad that the story of Christianity had roughly 10+ identical stories of a man that could walk on water, perform miracles, and was executed yet seen alive again.
Christianity is not an original story, there were many identical stories to it that existed prior. Christianity for whatever reason is the one that caught on while the others didn't, despite all being practically the same in every way.
Oh, they all had virgin mothers in every story too.
They were popular enough that you can still research them if you desire, and realize there were about 10-15 versions of Christianity throughout history.
Not different translations. I mean different names, different people, different settings and locations.
They just all performed the same actions.
Take a popular book and rename all the characters and place them in another location and you have what I am describing.
If Christians actually knew anything about Christianity they wouldn't be Christians.
It's a weird situation, but we all believed in Santa until we actually knew about it, because we decided to use some logical thinking in that decision of fake or true.

Except logically, while logic itself is infallible, the information used by the logic is fallible. Similar events can't prove or disprove unless they are exactly the same.
To follow your example everything has been done before right so why bother right? We fight, survive, and die. We do all of them, why not become immortal like no other before us.

Rap Infamy: Top 10 Worst Rappers Ever
For every million people who love an artist are a million and three who hate them, and vice versa, but we're 100% sure all 2 milli and three would agree that these rappers are the absolute worst in modern music history.
Here are the ten worst rappers of all-time. Take a look.
Silkk the Shocker
Words really can't express how GOD-AWFUL the stuttery bozo was during No Limit's golden tank era. CD skipping? Naaah, that was just Silkk battling multi-syllable words over bass-heavy production. Bless his talentless lil heart.
Before decomposing right before our eyes on "Love & Hip-Hop: ATL," the freshly-unwrapped mummy was infamous for giving his own wack albums 5 Mics as owner of the Source. Musically-dreadful, he'll never win as long as his super-corny single "Boottee" exists.
Lil B
It's still unknown whether the brain-damaged rapper is really autistic or just pretends to be on records where he repeats celebrity names for several minutes while cooking imaginary food in imaginary pots with imaginary utensils.
Chief Keef
The sewage-marinated moon cricket is everything that's wrong with Rap in 2013 rolled into a roach infested-ball of pure filth.
Free KEEP Keef.

Tony Yayo
The 40-something G-Unit security guard/"rapper" never would've existed if he didn't know 50's dirty little secrets. More of a G-Unit chaperone than anything, he consistently spewed pure struggle like no one would notice and 50 let him. SMH.
He always waited patiently in the shadows to ruin everything that Wyclef and Lauryn accomplished before his obligatory verse on Fugee records. Same flow, same cadence, on every song. That's Pras—one of the weakest links in Rap group history.

Mariah's husband may have won the game of life but that doesn't make him any less of a terrible rapper. "Shorty call me the Scare Crow, I'm looking for some brain?" Nah, bruh.
Kevin Federline
At some point between "You Got Served," knocking up Britney and ordering one of everything off fast food menus daily, the celebrity stay-at-home dad recorded the wackest Rap album ever and never apologized.

Police have made an arrest connected to Tuesday morning's stabbing near the Bramalea City Centre.
Peel Regional Police Cst. Thomas Ruttan says a male has been arrested but details on his identity and charges were not given.
An air ambulance had to be called to the area to take a stabbing victim to a Toronto trauma centre.
Authorities say a woman in her 20's was attacked on Team Canada Drive, near Queen Street and Central Park Drive.
She was found around 6:00am.
Her injuries are serious and her condition is considered 'life-threatening.'
Police had a section of the parking lot outside the mall's FreshCo grocery store blocked off for the investigation.
Not far away, patrol cars blocked traffic at Steeles Avenue and Airport Road. Authorities are investigation a collision there. A police cruiser that had been chasing the suspect's vehicle hit another vehicle that was not involved in the pursuit. Ruttan says no one was hurt in that collision.
It is not clear what led to the attack.
