Pathanamthitta, Jun 3 (UNI) The 'Sadhu Jana Vimochana Samyuktha Vedi' today submitted a five-point charter of demands for ending the encroachment on the Kumbazha Estate owned by Harrisons Malayalam Ltd at Chengara.
Vedi president Laha Gopalan submitted the charter to District Collector Raju Narayana Swamy.
The submission of the charter was facilitated by the understanding reached between the Vedi leaders and the Collector yesterday.
Mr Gopalan, however asserted that the 304-day-long land struggle would be ended only after the government conceded their demands.
The 'Vedi' had retreated from its earlier demand of five acres of land to each encroacher family and a sum of Rs 50,000 to build a house. In the charter of demands the Vedi sought one acre of land to all encroachers belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and converted Christians.
They should be provided with financial assistance for one year for cultivation and food. Other encroachers had to be given a few cents of land. Another demand was provision of five acres of land for renovation of 'Kalleli Appooppan Kavu.' It also demanded withdrawal of all cases registered against the Vedi activists. The District Collector said he would forward the charter of demands to Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan and Revenue Minister K P Rajendran.

YES! Our new spaces and mass of staff allow us to have no limit on orders! We pay attention to detail and have dedicated event staff ready to help with your orders!
A $200 non-refundable deposit will secure your booking and give you the most flexibility. You can bring your payment into the store, call in with a credit card number, etc. Just be sure your payment clearly indicates the names associated with your order. This deposit is applied towards your final event cost. If you'd like to work with our wedding planner, Megan is available to help you at firstname.lastname@example.com!
We ask for large event orders to be finalized by 2pm the day before your pick-up or delivery. If you're booking a wedding, your Scratch location's wedding coordinator will contact you two weeks prior to confirm your order and make final payment arrangements!
While we're watching prices go up all around us, we're staying true to our mission of making people smile one cupcake at a time, and we believe you can still do that for just a couple dollars! Our daily discount of $22 per dozen also applies to event and large orders!
Just cupcakes!
We encourage wedding parties to stick to a few flavors, rather than choosing everything on our menu! Keep in mind many people like to try more than one flavor! Wedding Day has been consistently popular, as has Chocoholic, Red Velvet, and Chocolate Chip! Some like to highlight a personal favorite like German Chocolate or celebrate the holidays with Candy Cane. We encourage you to choose flavors that reflect you as a couple!!
We encourage you to come in at your leisure and sample something different every time you come. We also frequent wedding shows all over the state and try to vary our flavors!! Over time, your favorites will stand out to you!
Our Cedar Falls location has numerous display trees available! Stop in and we'll show you what we have to offer!
We can deliver thousands of cupcakes to just about any venue in Iowa (or outside of Iowa!). Delivery charges vary from each location and can be quoted directly from the store! Remember to order your event cupcakes from your nearest store!
If kept in an air-conditioned vehicle, away from direct sunlight, you should have no problems traveling to your event. We ask that cupcake boxes be stacked no more than 4 boxes high, and kept as flat as possible. In a standard SUV, this means with the backseat flat, you can transport about 48 dozen cupcakes. Cupcakes should not travel in the bed of a pickup or in a vehicle without air conditioning, especially in summer months. We recommend you pick up your cupcakes the night before, rather than the morning of the event, in case of any hiccups along the way. We've done hundreds of events all over the Midwest and have yet to hear of melted cupcakes! :-)
Your cupcakes will be boxed 1-3 dozen per box. If you order 400 cupcakes, that could mean upwards of 15 large cupcake boxes! Be sure you have the vehicle space for them, stacked no more than 4 boxes high. Generally this just means the back of an SUV with the seats folded down. If you've booked a Friday event, we will have them ready on Friday morning. If you've booked a Saturday event, we will have them ready on Saturday morning. For out of town events, we recommend picking up your cupcakes on Friday.
Be creative!! Borrow cake plates from your friends and co-workers, cover up various size boxes with table linens, line 'em up in rows...however you can dream it, we've seen the pictures that show you make it happen! If you need more inspiration, google "wedding cupcakes" or spend an hour on Pinterest and see that the possibilities are truly endless!!
No problem! Contact us any time!!

As a Christian community we are called to worship. Our tradition centers our worship in the Eucharist and the Liturgical Seasons. It is through our liturgy and worship that we are reminded of the covenant that we continually make with God as we follow Jesus. Through worship we are humbled, forgiven, inspired, and transformed!
Worship happens in each of our three churches (at least once a week!). On Sunday mornings and other times through the week and season we gather together to be blessed by God as a community and inspired to take our mission into our daily lives.
Throughout the year our parish…
- Holds four liturgies per week during most of the year in three churches
- Joins together for summer worship
- Provides bulletin materials (including full liturgy bulletins during the Advent Season)
- Holds services for marriage, funerals, and baptisms
- Provides support materials for home worship to parishioners of all ages
- Holds services that enable all ages to worship together
- Honours our history at Cemetery Services
Additional Goals for the future:
- To explore new forms of worship in all three communities
- To continue to unite together as a parish community throughout the summer months
- To honour, through sacrament, the journey of life; especially birth, marriage, and death
- To create opportunities for worship through scripture, sacrament, music, and fellowship

Anyone who works in California is covered by workers' compensation if they're hurt while on the job. Although some companies do their best to protect their employees from harm accidents and illness still happen. When these unfortunate incidents do occur some companies in the Los Angeles County area try to avoid their responsibilities to fairly compensate an employee who has been injured on the job.
A 62-year-old man was killed recently after he was run over by a big-rig truck while laying asphalt at a Berkeley middle school. Reportedly the truck was parked on a slope and began to roll and eventually crushed the man. No one else was injured in the incident. The accident is still under investigation as authorities work to determine what the caused the truck to roll. It has not been reported at this time why the truck was parked on a slope and whether or not the proper safety measures were in place to prevent the truck from moving.
According to reports, the company for which the man worked has not had any safety violations reported during the past five years. However, at this time it is not known if the company acted negligently in any way, which could have contributed to the accident and the eventual death of the worker.
If the investigation determines that the construction company was at fault in this incident a court could rule that it pay restitution to the man's family members for their loss and for the pain and suffering they must endure. This man's family might want to speak with a workers' compensation attorney soon.

text: Food Food Tiny Mites Spark Big Battle Over Imports Of French Cheese By editor • May 11, 2013 The Food and Drug Administration is currently embroiled in a surprisingly heated culinary standoff — pitting French cheese-makers (and American cheese-lovers) against regulators, all because of one very small problem: cheese mites. Cheese mites are microscopic little bugs that live on the surfaces of aged cheeses, munching the microscopic molds that grow there. For many aged cheeses, they're something of an industry nuisance, gently brushed off the cheeses. But for Mimolette, a bright orange French cheese, they're actually encouraged. Try A Do-It-Yourself Mother's Day By T. Susan Chang • May 10, 2013 My mother didn't plant a great many spring bulbs. But over by the pachysandra patch, there was a single lovely pink tulip, and I kept my eye on it for two weeks before Mother's Day. When that Sunday morning arrived, I rushed out, snipped it and ran inside to where she lay sleeping to present it to her. "Did you pick that outside?" she inquired, her expression shifting from sleepy surprise to something more complicated. I nodded proudly. "Oh ... thank you, sweetie." Homebrewing: Soon To Be Legal In All 50 States By Bill Chappell • May 8, 2013 The Alabama Legislature has approved a bill making it legal to brew beer at home, a practice that had been forbidden in the state. If Gov. Robert Bentley signs the bill, as is expected, home brewing will soon be legal in all 50 states. Alabama lawmakers voted on the bill to legalize home brewing months after it was first introduced. And while it met with earlier debate and resistance, the arrival of the legislation — House Bill 9 — for a vote Tuesday night seems to have come to its supporters as a pleasant surprise. Weeknight Kitchen: Warm Goat Cheese Salad By Ethel Brennan and Sara Remington • May 8, 2013 ◦One 11- to 12-ounce log fresh goat cheese, cut crosswise into 4 even pieces◦1/2 cup fine dried bread crumbs◦1/3 pound thick slice of pancetta, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces◦3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil◦2 teaspoons red wine vinegar◦1 teaspoon Dijon mustard◦1 teaspoon finely chopped shallot◦1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt◦1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper◦2 cups frisée greens, washed, dried, and torn into 1-inch piecesPreheat the oven to 350°F. With Warming Climes, How Long Will A Bordeaux Be A Bordeaux? By editor • May 8, 2013 Bordeauxs and Burgundys haven't changed much since the days when famous wine-lover Thomas Jefferson kept the cellars of his Parisian home well-stocked with both wines. But now, some worry that the regional rules and traditions that have defined top winemaking regions like Champagne, Burgundy and Chianti for centuries could melt away as climate change takes effect. Sandwich Monday: Fried Peanut Butter And Banana By Peter Sagal • May 6, 2013 It's strange to find a Fried Peanut Butter and Banana sandwich, famous as Elvis Presley's favorite, on a restaurant menu, given its effect on Elvis. It's like finding a store selling an Isadora Duncan commemorative scarf. Nonetheless, freelance radio producer Melissa LaCasse and I decided to try the one offered by The Breslin in New York, listed as "fried peanut butter & banana sandwich with bourbon & vanilla." How To Dip Without Breaking The Chip By NPR Staff • May 6, 2013 The Mexican army's May 5 victory in 1862's Battle of Puebla is a pretty small holiday in Mexico. But in the U.S., Cinco de Mayo has grown into a kind of Mexican St. Patrick's Day. So this weekend, in honor of that holiday, thousands of Americans will be dipping tortilla chips into guacamole, and when they do they'll have an important decision to make: how best to dip without breaking the chip. Chef Edward Lee Adds Korean Spice To Southern Comfort Food By editor • May 3, 2013 Korean and Southern food may not seem like a natural pair. But now it's one more example of traditions emulsifying in the great American melting pot. Korean-American chef Edward Lee makes that case with his new cookbook Smoke and Pickles: Recipes and Stories From a New Southern Kitchen. Fusion cooking comes naturally to Lee: He grew up in an immigrant neighborhood of Brooklyn surrounded by Jamaicans, Indians, Iranians and Jews. Grocery Home Delivery May Be Greener Than Schlepping To The Store By editor • May 2, 2013 Home grocery delivery sounds like a frill for people too lazy to schlep to the store. But having food delivered can be more environmentally friendly than driving to the store, researchers say. Having groceries delivered can cut carbon dioxide emissions by at least half, compared to driving to the store, according to a new study. That's because the delivery truck offers the equivalent of a "shared ride" for the food. Weeknight Kitchen: Roasted Chicken Salad with Apples, Golden Raisins, and Tarragon By Shauna James Ahern with Daniel Ahern • May 1, 2013 I must admit something embarrassing. Whenever I think of chicken salad, I think of the recipe for Waldorf salad that a customer keeps screaming at Basil Fawlty: chicken, apples, celery, and walnuts! I have that frantic scene locked in my head. Chicken salad = Fawlty Towers. Except, I went back to see that scene again to write this headnote (and get a little comic relief) and realized there's no chicken in a Waldorf salad. Oops. Well, this one's still great.3 cups cubed cooked chicken, taken from roasted legs and thighs2 large green apples, peeled and cubed Mon Dieu! Fast Food Now Rules In France By editor • Apr 30, 2013 When it comes to culinary matters, France, in many minds, is synonymous with fine dining. So it might surprise you that, for the first time, sales at fast food chains have overtaken those at traditional restaurants in the country that gave us the word gastronomie. Weeknight Kitchen: Grilled Asparagus with Spicy Parmesan Sauce By Barton Seaver • Apr 17, 2013 I rarely dress up asparagus; it has such a wonderful flavor that it feels silly to complicate it in any way. But, as the first warm months carry on, cooks and farmers, all eagerly anticipating the next wave of crops, begin to grow a little weary of asparagus. For this dish, I drizzle the grilled spears with a sauce that I made up one day when my wife was desperately hungry and the pickins were slim in the kitchen. We had olive oil, hot sauce, and a little grated Parmesan. I mixed them all together to make a dipping sauce for bread, and she loved it! Bands Aren't The Only Things That Incubate At Music Festivals By editor • Apr 12, 2013 Coachella, the massive outdoor music festival that kicks off this weekend in Indio, Calif., has become an "incubator" not just for new bands, but for rising food entrepreneurs, according to a story in the San Jose Mercury News earlier this week. A North Carolina Pie That Elicits An 'Oh My God' Response By editor • Apr 11, 2013 There are days for cake, and days for ice cream and cookies. But every now and then, you crave a different kind of finish to a satisfying meal. Enter Atlantic Beach Pie, a salty and citrusy staple of the North Carolina coast. Reduced Guilt? Chocolate Gets A Healthy, Fruity Makeover By Audrey Carlsen • Apr 8, 2013 Chocoholics, rejoice! British scientists have developed a new fruit-juice-infused chocolate that they say has up to 50 percent less fat than the regular stuff. And it's tasty, too. The scientists, led by University of Warwick's Stefan Bon, created the hybrid chocolate using a blender to generate microscopic droplets of fruit juice fine enough to blend into molten chocolate. Craft Beer-Crazy Oregon Poised To Name Official State Microbe By editor • Apr 5, 2013 A humble creature that has long toiled in obscurity for the benefit of humankind is poised to win a small measure of the distinction it deserves: designation as Oregon's official state microbe. It looks to be the first microbe to gain official state recognition. The microbe in question, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, plays a key role in the state's economy. Without it, sugar would not become alcohol, and Oregon would not have a craft beer industry worth $2.4 billion. That's a lot of yeast. True Grits: Getting In Touch With Your Inner Southerner By Rina Rapuano • Apr 3, 2013 Despite growing up in Virginia, I never tasted grits until I was in college. I remember that first bite vividly, because it left me with the impression that grits were truly disgusting. My freshman roommate would make them with her hot pot, and this vile, gluey goo made me swear they would never pass my lips again. Fast-forward a couple of years, when I was once again duped into trying instant grits — this time doctored with cheddar cheese and butter. Still horrible. Twice fooled, it's a wonder I ever tried them again. Weeknight Kitchen: Omelette Baguette By Tracy Lister and Andreas Pohl • Mar 27, 2013 Simple but delicious! Wrapped in a sheet of newspaper, this is a popular breakfast for people on the run. Often, the Vietnamese will simply pull up with their motorcycle at their favourite banh mi cart to pick one up on the way to work. 12 eggs1/2 teaspoon fish saucepinch of salt1/3 teaspoon freshly ground black pepperoil, for frying6 small baguettes2 cucumbers, peeled and sliced1 handful coriander (cilantro) sprigs1 long red chilli, sliced1 tablespoon soy sauce Backyard Chickens: Cute, Trendy Spreaders Of Salmonella By editor • Mar 24, 2013 Backyard chickens have become a coveted suburban accessory, one that packages cuteness, convenience and local food production in one fluffy feathered package. But animal husbandry can be a nasty business, a fact that's often glossed over by poultry partisans like Martha Stewart and New Yorker writer Susan Orlean. Spring May Have Sprung, But Most Gardens Are Still Slumbering By Nancy Shute • Mar 22, 2013 For vegetable lovers, the start of spring can be a cruel tease, hinting of a feast of just-picked peas and spinach and beets, but delivering instead tired iceberg and romaine shipped from distant climes. "It's zero here right now," Terry Nennich reported Wednesday morning, the first official day of spring, from Grand Rapids, Minn. So much for spring. Not only was it well below freezing, but the ground remained blanketed by 2 feet of snow. Some Toddler Foods Come With A Mega-Dose Of Salt By Nancy Shute • Mar 22, 2013 Feeding toddlers can be a challenge, so it's easy to see the lure of prepackaged favorites like mac and cheese. But many of those foods deliver startlingly high amounts of sodium, some with three times more than recommended in a single serving, according to a new survey. The offenders include not just savory snacks but also healthful-sounding foods like pasta and chicken, according to Joyce Maalouf, a fellow at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Foodcast Episode 87: Hills Market Downtown By Johnny DiLoretto, Bethia Woolf, Mike Beaumont & Andy Dehus • Mar 21, 2013 On this week's show, we speak to Amanda Anderson from The Hills Market about their brand new downtown location. Weeknight Kitchen: Cauliflower with Saffron and Pasta By Heather Anderson • Mar 20, 2013 Is saffron — the legendarily expensive, hand- harvested spice — worth the money? Yes, if it's allowed to be the star. Craft Brews Slowly Chipping Away At Big Beer's Dominance By editor • Mar 17, 2013 America loves beer. In the U.S., we drink $200 billion worth of the hops-brewed libation annually. What many Americans might not know is that most domestic beer, 90 percent in fact, is dominated by just two companies: Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors. Yogurt For Men: A Review By editor • Mar 17, 2013 Last week on Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me, we talked about a new yogurt for men, or brogurt, from a company called Powerful Yogurt. Here's what our panelist, comedian Jessi Klein, had to say about it: Is Your Medicine Vegan? Probably Not By editor • Mar 15, 2013 Go looking for animal products, and apparently you will find them everywhere. That's the takeaway from the book Veganissimo A to Z, recently translated into English for the first time. What's veganissimo? It's veganism of the highest order, according to the German authors Reuben Proctor and Lars Thomsen, who call themselves "professional vegans." (Is veganism a healthful way to eat? Sorry, we're not going there in this post.) A Daily Habit Of Green Tea Or Coffee Cuts Stroke Risk By editor • Mar 15, 2013 Whether it's green tea that warms you up, or coffee that gives you that morning lift, a new study finds both can help cut the risk of suffering a stroke. The study, published in the American Heart Association journal Stroke, included 82,369 men and women in Japan. Researchers found that the more green tea a person drank, the more it reduced the risk of suffering a stroke. Outside The Pizza Box: Chicago's New Pie Scene By Emily Hilliard • Mar 13, 2013 As we prepare to celebrate Pi(e) Day on Thursday (Congress established March 14 as a day to honor both the mathematical constant, 3.14, and our nation's favorite dessert), we find a burgeoning pie scene in Chicago. And it's not of the deep-dish variety. Poi: Hawaii's Recipe For Revitalizing Island Culture By Sandy Hausman • Mar 10, 2013 There are only about 1,000 people of pure Hawaiian descent left in the world, but island residents are cooking up an idea to keep native island culture from fading away. The key ingredient? Reviving a starchy food called poi. Plague Of Locusts Has Israelis Asking: Are They Kosher For Passover? By editor • Mar 7, 2013 A swarm of locusts that has devastated crops in Egypt made its way into neighboring Israel this week. And with Passover just around the corner, many news outlets couldn't resist noting the shades of the biblical tale of Exodus, when the insects were one of 10 plagues that descended upon Pharaoh and his people.

(Adds details, background)
MADRID, July 11 (Reuters) - International Consolidated Airlines Group (IAG) said on Friday its Spanish carrier Iberia would begin a consultation period to cut up to 1,581 staff.
Iberia, which IAG expects to return to profit this year, was hit by strikes and clashed with unions last year when it tried to push through job losses, though it eventually settled disputes with employees.
A spokesman for Iberia's pilots union SEPLA said the latest job consultation was planned and the redundancies would be voluntary. IAG said in its statement it had been one of the options discussed during previous negotiations on salaries and working conditions.
Iberia - whose losses have dragged on parent IAG, owner of British Airways - had already planned 3,100 staff cuts for the 2012-2015 period. The new redundancies affecting up to 1,581 people will take place over the 2014-2017 period, a spokesman at the carrier said.

I almost started writing my breastfeeding post. I realized that not only is it a little too soon for that, since I am still trying to figure out that shit show, but I still haven't told you guys about my postpartum recovery. Those hormones that make you forget all the awful stuff about childbirth to trick you into having sex with your husband again? They should bottle that shit and sell it to people who walk in on their parents going at it or accidentally watch an episode of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. It works. This post almost didn't see the light of day because I straight up forgot all this crap happened.
Part of my post-birth amnesia is attributed to how much of a head case I was during my c-section, begging my anesthesiologist to knock me out. Ask and ask and cry and ask and you shall receive. He put me out after August was born for the last 15 minutes that I needed to be stitched up. I woke up in the recovery room after an hour, and that is all a blur. I wasn't allowed to hold my son because I was loopy as hell and couldn't really move. Eventually, the nurse laid him on my chest, under my gown while I was still laying down. I really regret not having much memory of this, or of the next few hours. I have a tiny snapshot of a memory of the first time I nursed August, and I am not sure when my memory really kicks in after that. Believe me when I say that not having much of any memories of the first few hours of my baby's life guts me. And if I need a c-section next time, (Look at me, next time. The No No Juice works!) I am gonna nut up and be present.
So, mentally, that was the hardest part of my recovery when I look back on it. Now, the physical.
All the sons of all the shits.
All of them.
I was insanely swollen. So swollen that my big chunksquish legs that I grew during pregnancy were even big chunk-er, but the squish was gone. My skin was maxed out and my legs felt solid as a rock if you poked them. My ankles, my feet, everything. I didn't fit in my socks. I was so swollen that the hideous, enormous, gauze underwear they give you while you recover from surgery dug into me and left abrasions on my legs.
That was not the worst thing to come from being swollen. When you're recovering from having your belly sliced open and then sewn back together, you're really not trying to walk around a whole lot. Just sneezing or laughing hurts. So I was spending a lot of time parked on my enormous swollen behind.
There's more, but just a warning: Here come the fluids.
Post-baby, you get the most ridic period of your life. It's your body's way of getting back at you after nine months without it, to let you know who is in charge. My period was most certainly in charge. So the hospital gave me a big tote bag full of stuff to use while I was there, including a pack of the most enormous, wide pads I had ever seen. But there weren't enough to last me the four days I was there. I asked for more, and the nurse told me that those are only available in the recovery bag, so they had regular pads for me. Way to be weird about your pad stash, hospital. Whatever.
So the new pads they gave me were just normal huge pads. Narrow and bulky and nothing special. And here is where the swollen and sitting part comes in. I was on my butt for always, being swollen and not cute and also usually embarrassed that Adam was seeing me in the hideous surgical gauze underwear, and I discovered a new level of embarrassment and what-the-unholy-shit-brick-ness. I was getting really uncomfortable and when I got up to use the bathroom, I was in a lot of pain. And I thought I had somehow managed to cut my butt. What gave me that idea? All the pain on my butt. From sores. I was not stoked to go to my husband in all my grossness and add "Help! I have butt-sores!" to that gross. But that's what I did. He called the nurse and the nurse informed me that I had diaper rash.
You go be 26 and have to use Desitin on yourself and see how great you feel about being alive in that moment. Sidenote: This goes in the box of things that if I know you in my actual life, you better not bring up to me unless you are a lady recovering from giving birth and wanting to commiserate with me about our shared diaper rash experience. All others will be on the receiving end of a lot of baby puke.
I would have felt worse if Adam were not the amazing husband that he is, giving me a huge bowl of sympathy for all the rudeness my body was pouring all over my life. Sympathy is attention and attention has magic healing powers for me. He was really great throughout the whole stay, and continues to be. I am going to take some credit because I am really great at choosing, and I chose him. You're welcome, self.
But seriously, he listened to all my whining and bitching, slept on some crazy little vinyl couch deal every night, made sure I was eating and drinking enough, and reminded nurses when I needed meds. He came into the shower and washed my lower legs and feet because I couldn't bend to reach them, helped me put on my clothes because that was also imfreakingpossible, and brought me tater tots from the cafeteria because whatever other food place in the hospital brought me my food didn't have tater tots and what the hell.
Above all that, he has been such an amazing dad. While we were in the hospital, Adam did pretty much all the diaper changes while I was busy giving myself diaper rash. If that doesn't sound like much of a big deal, think about the fact that babies spend all their time in utero making poop, and that poop that is nine months old is coming out of them for the first few days after they are born. Now clap for Adam. Now clap for August. That kid is great and deserves claps.
A very quick trip to the present. Life is nice. August is two months old now. He smiles like crazy. If he isn't smiling, he is eating or sleeping or yelling at us or pooping. So the smiles are probably my favorite out of all that. He's actually taking a nap right now, which is rare. So naps are probably my second favorite. They should be your first favorite, because I wouldn't have finished this post without this one.
Officially coming up next is my breastfeeding post. Since I am an expert now, let me know if there is anything specific you would like to know. Otherwise, it will be about the 30469303 things we have tried to make it work. Tiny preview: I eat four cookies a day. Doctors orders. Sort of.

- Server 1
- Trailer
James King (Will Ferrell) is an extremely wealthy hedge fund manager of Barrow Funds run by Martin Barrow (Craig T. Nelson). He is engaged to his gorgeous gold-digging fiancée Alissa (Alison Brie) who is Martin's daughter. His car washer, Darnell Lewis (Kevin Hart), and his wife, Rita (Edwina Findley), are trying to put their daughter Makayla (Ariana Neal) in a better school away from the bad neighborhood they live in. Darnell meets James when he accidentally frightens James in the parking lot. James makes a speech about how he got to his success, and to inspire Darnell to go for his. He pulls out a big wad of cash, only to give two singles as a "tip" for Darnell.
Alissa hosts an engagement party for herself and James. She gives him an electric guitar as a gift, and invites John Mayer onstage to perform. James performs alongside Mayer momentarily until the FBI storm in and arrest James for fraud and embezzlement. James' lawyer Peter Penny (Greg Germann) urges James to go for a guilty plea, but he refuses and insists that he will be exonerated. Instead, everybody that lost money in the embezzlement scheme is out for James's head. Upon James being found guilty, the judge (Elliott Grey) sentences James to ten years at San Quentin State Prison, with only 30 days to get his affairs in order. His assets are frozen and he is placed under house arrest. James cuts off his ankle monitor and tries to flee the country. He drives to a country club to get Alissa to go with him, but she says she has left him and decided to move on after it was discovered he wasn't innocent. The police then show up and re-arrest James, who asks his boss Martin for help.
James encounters Darnell once more in the parking lot, expressing his fears over going to prison. He asks Darnell how he managed in prison, simply assuming he was incarcerated because he is black. James then begs Darnell to teach him how to toughen up if he wants to survive in prison. Darnell demands payment in the form of $30,000, which James agrees to.
Darnell, who has little idea of how to act tough himself, tries to put on a facade of his own. To start his "training", Darnell pepper-sprays James upon arriving to his home. He tries to get James ready for prison by intimidating with his "mad dog" face (James can only "sad dog" it), creating scenarios in which he must defend himself, and picking fights at the park (only for James to be beaten multiple times). James gets in touch with Martin and says he's getting help. Martin, who is the actual crook, thinks James is onto him and orders Peter and a hired gun named Gayle (Paul-Ben Victor) to take care of business.
With little time left and even less improvement, Darnell figures that James has to learn how to perform oral sex in prison. They go to a gay hook-up spot for James to find a man to give fellatio to, but he can't go through with it and tells Darnell (in front of the other curious and interested gay men) that he will keep going and do whatever it takes to "get hard." James starts to work out harder and faster, makes shivs, and learns "keistering" – smuggling contraband in the anus. Darnell simulates a prison raid with help from James' personal workers acting as inmates. In the chaos, James gets a shiv stuck in his head. Darnell drives James to his home for Rita to get the shiv out. He has dinner and listens to Darnell make up a story of how he went to prison (which is just a retelling of Boyz n the Hood). After James leaves, Makayla and Rita say they don't think James did it and that Darnell needs to do something that will really help him.

Karen Abbott, the New York Times bestselling author of Sin in the Second City and "pioneer of sizzle history" (USA Today), tells the spellbinding true story of four women who risked everything to become spies during the Civil War.
Karen Abbott illuminates one of the most fascinating yet little known aspects of the Civil War: the stories of four courageous women--a socialite, a farmgirl, an abolitionist, and a widow--who were spies.
After shooting a Union soldier in her front hall with a pocket pistol, Belle Boyd became a courier and spy for the Confederate army, using her charms to seduce men on both sides. Emma Edmonds cut off her hair and assumed the identity of a man to enlist as a Union private, witnessing the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. The beautiful widow, Rose O'Neale Greenhow, engaged in affairs with powerful Northern politicians to gather intelligence for the Confederacy, and used her young daughter to send information to Southern generals. Elizabeth Van Lew, a wealthy Richmond abolitionist, hid behind her proper Southern manners as she orchestrated a far-reaching espionage ring, right under the noses of suspicious rebel detectives.
Using a wealth of primary source material and interviews with the spies' descendants, Abbott seamlessly weaves the adventures of these four heroines throughout the tumultuous years of the war. With a cast of real-life characters including Walt Whitman, Nathaniel Hawthorne, General Stonewall Jackson, detective Allan Pinkerton, Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, and Emperor Napoleon III, Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy draws you into the war as these daring women lived it.
Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy contains 39 black & photos and 3 maps.

In this gripping book, Abbott (Sin in the Second City) tells the moving and fascinating story of four women who played unconventional roles during the Civil War: Belle Boyd, a boisterous flirt and Confederate spy; Rose Greenhow, a seductive widow also spying for the South; Emma Edmondson, who disguised herself as a man and enlisted in the Union army; and Elizabeth Van Lew, a wealthy spinster in the Confederate capital with Unionist loyalties. Meticulously researched and fluidly written, this book draws the reader in and doesn't let go until the four heroines draw their final breaths. Abbott provides an alternate view of this tumultuous time in history by featuring previously untold stories of the impact women and civilians had on the war effort, and she brings these individuals fully to life, with their passion for their causes (Elizabeth for abolitionism, Rose for the Confederacy), personal flaws (Rose was racist and self-involved, Belle was impulsive and vain), and heartbreak (Emma by two different men, Belle for an opposing spy). For example, in an era when men had trouble even picturing women in pants, Emma Edmondson enlisted as a man in the Union army and saw action in her roles as both spy and nurse. In the end, Abbott tells a remarkable story of passion, strength, and resilience. (Sept.)
Working undercover in plain sight
You can get away with quite a lot if no one takes you very seriously. Like carrying military intelligence about the Union army through enemy lines to deliver it to the Confederates. Or hiding Union POW escapees in your attic while Confederate officers are boarding downstairs at your home.
You get the picture: Women were largely dismissed as flighty, inferior creatures in Victorian times. That attitude helped several become some of the most effective spies of the Civil War. Again and again, the women who are the focus of Karen Abbott's exciting Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy: Four Women Undercover in the Civil War came close to discovery or death, only to be saved by their enemies' sexism.
Not that Belle Boyd, Rose Greenhow, Emma Edmonds and Elizabeth Van Lew were ordinary women. They were all strong-minded, daring and difficult. Edmonds was perhaps the most astonishing: Escaping an abusive father in Canada, she masqueraded as a young man and joined the Union army. She kept up the game so well that she became an army scout, "cross-dressed" as a woman.
Confederates Greenhow and Boyd were flamboyant women who used sexual attraction in the service of their cause and were too indiscreet to retain their effectiveness. Pro-Union Van Lew, however, was a wealthy, circumspect middle-aged spinster. She carefully built a large, lasting spy and prisoner-escape network in Richmond, even infiltrating an African-American secret agent into Jefferson Davis' house as a servant.
This is compelling material, and Abbott, best-selling author of Sin in the Second City, cross-cuts among the stories to produce dramatic cliff-hangers. Her depiction of Greenhow's tragic end will move any reader, whatever one may think of the Confederate cause.

Instructor: Heath Kaplan
Course Objectives:
There are two objectives for this course.
The first is to develop a deeper understanding of the human mind. My goal is to take the material beyond theory and illustrate to you how you can use scientific research to make positive changes in your own everyday lives. The intellectual art of taking theory and research and using it to effect our own realities is a sign of thorough comprehension (and its pretty cool). This simple concept is often missed even at the graduate level, but should be a focal goal in academia. Too often teachers become sidetracked and students do not know any better to ask how the material that you learn in class everyday can be used to make your life better. When you skin away all of the layers, that is the whole point of school.
The second is to pass the Advanced Placement examination given in May. The material learned in this course is equivalent (some would say surpasses) an introductory psychology course at the university level. The AP Psychology course is designed to introduce students to the systematic and scientific study of the behavior and mental processes of human beings and other animals. Students are exposed to the psychological facts, principles, and phenomena associated with each of the major sub fields within psychology. They also learn about the methods psychologists use in their science and practice. In other words, you will be learning a lot of stuff, you will sound smart, and hopefully will pass a college level examination.
Required Texts:
The only required text is the "Trippy Text" found on the AP Psychology Commune (appsychology.com). The online text, along with the "Fight the Power" Points and other interactive activities will provide more than enough information for you to absorb this year. For those of you who may lack internet access at home, or feel more comfortable with a text, I will provide a hard copy of the "Trippy Text" or some of the following available materials (don't feel like you cannot ask for them).
Myers, D., "Psychology, Myers in Modules" sixth edition, Worth Publishers, 2001.
Online readings and PowerPoint presentations.
Hock, R., "Forty Studies That Changed Psychology" fourth edition, Prentice Hall, 2002.
My Expectations (Class Rules):
Pay attention because this is very important. We will be discussing sensitive and controversial topics throughout the year and I am sure we will hear a wide array of opinions. YOU WILL BE RESPECTFUL OF OTHER'S OPINIONS!!! Your emotional safety and well being is my primary concern as a teacher and I will take drastic steps if I think someone's is at risk!!!
Beyond that you should:
understand that if you laugh at bad behavior in class, you are just as guilty as the person exhibiting the behavior, so you will be treated accordingly.
come to class regularly and on time. Coming in late disrupts the class and will NOT be permitted.
not hold side conversations in class. Class in only 40 minutes long, what you have to say can wait.
NO NO NO food in class (unless it is organic fruit and you bring some for me)
have an open mind.
Homework– You will be assigned approximately one homework assignment a week that corresponds directly with the reading. Most likely, the assignment will be to answer several questions challenging you to apply the content in various scenarios. I am looking for you go beyond basic factually regurgitation and think!!! Do not copy- it is not worth it (trust me). I only give about 15 HWs a year- thus I expect them to 1. be your own 2. be well done 3. be on time- you will have the homework assignment at least 10 days before it is due- plan accordingly. (20%).
Quizzes- There will be comprehensive multiple choice quizzes on the material both from class and the text. This year I am going to make the quizzes cumulative (lucky you) (40%).
Participation- After you finish your schooling, you will probably try to get a job. Ask your parents whether your behavior and showing up for work effects your annual performance review (your raise). We are going to start preparing for the real world now. Your participation and behavior in class will play a part in your quarterly assessment (20%).
Projects- You will be assigned several projects throughout the year. Some will take thirty minutes while others may take eight weeks. They are designed to enhance your understanding of the course material through activities and practical applications of theory (20%).
Midterm Exam– There will be a cumulative midterm exam giving during midterm week. The exam will consist of 100 multiple choice questions and 1 free response question.
Final Project- As long as you take the AP Exam, there will be no final exam in this course. There will however be a final research project that you will start when we come back from vacation in January. You will be conducting original research project that will be presented to the community of Harrison and perhaps submitted to a journal. You will be given more detailed explanations as the year progresses.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
North Mountain
Coffee maker and fridge in the room, more like a complete suite! Bed was super comfortable. Slept like a baby!
Reserved two queens, no one informed us that there were none left on arrival.
as we frequent several valley hotels, we especially loved the adult pool area.................... our room had absolutely no view front or back
My girlfriend and I stayed here for the fourth of July weekend. I will never stay here again ever. The room was dated. The room looked like a road side motel. The pictures and smoke dectors were falling off the wall. The refrigerator door had a hole like some one kicked it. I went to four different ice machines four different times and not one of them worked. I had to drive to the store it was very inconvenient. For the amount we paid for each nigh it was not worth it. We didn't even go to the water park portion of the resort because we were so disappointed with our room
The rooms were clean and comfortable! The staff was friendly :)
The beds were very nice and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and quick to respond to any question or request. They helped me out when the computer printer was not working by allowing me to email my document to them so they could print it in the hotel office. The room needed a thorough cleaning, more than the daily clean by housekeeping. The closet doors were grungy and the hair dryer was covered in dust. One of the outlets in the bathroom didn't work and the light in the entry hall was dim. There are no food vending machines, so after the little cafe downstairs is closed, your only option is room service. When we were there, the soda vending machines would not accept bills. I needed to print out something from my computer, but their network printer did not work.
Excellent coffee in the room very comfortable bed clean and quiet great air conditioning complimentary bottles of water were a nice touch free internet good choice of cable tv channels and nice hd tv It would have been nice if there was a snack vending machine on the floor
The bed was extremely comfortable The hotel was old.. the hallways were dirty with dirty sofas in the vending/ice areas. but the rooms were comfy and clean. Weird I know!
Staff was supper helpful and attentive. Breakfast bar, pure heaven!!! Our room squeaky clean! satisfied 100% Thank you!!
Room was clean. Small, but neat. Room service was a nice option. Nice small gym. Friendly staff. Cleaning lady was very courteous and friendly. Great area. The shower head wasnt working properly, which resulted in low water pressure in the shower.
Location was right of through way, breakfast was varied, room was clean. Staff was friendly in all areas of service, front desk, room service, kitchen. Having to use sofa pull out, literally took up all free space in room.
Decent breakfast in a room to small for people to eat. Noisy till past midnight. Door to hotel room obviously forced at one time and still damaged. Bed harder then floor. Could hear everything going on outside of room and hotel. Moved out the next day and got a room cheaper and better at another hotel. Wish i could have seen the future to know not to stay here.
Nice clean room Internet didn't work, one staff member was very rude
Everything was very nice. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Kevin. Comfortable room and great bed. The only issue was that it was difficult to regulate the room temperature. The fan on the HVAC was noisy .
The price was fantastic. I would definitely recomend this to someone else.
The room was spacious and comfortable. The carpeted floors made my bare feet dirty.
Cost and cleanliness. I believe they put pre-paid customers in less than desirable rooms. This was an ADA room in the corner at the end of the hall. Window had this film you couldn't look out of because all you'd see was the heating & air conditioning unit on the adjacent roof
I was somewhat comfortable there, but something is lacking in the comfort level. The hotel needs to be remodeled. It is adequat for an emergency or quick unplanned trip. But if I were traveling for a vacation or pleasure, I would have chosen another hotel.
I was helped to a very voluntary extent and was served incredible customer service by Christopher when I got my booking date incorrect. There were a few insects and ripped up furniture.
Nothing. That it was hot and my A/C was not working properly, and nothing was done. The front staff was a joke.
Staff N/A
Close to freeways The entire staff was in a daze at all times (maybe drugs?). Addicts are plentiful in the area, including in the parking lot. The hotel is next to a trailer park. Carpet tacks pushing through the rug. Dangerous!!!. Key cards had to be reset almost every time I left the room. 40 bucks a night---you get what you pay for. Stay elsewhere or sleep in your car
The cute black girl at the front desk. It took an hour to get internet after paying $7 for it.
Free soap? Nothing worked. The fridge didn't work, the location was terrible, the trash was run at 4 AM right outside my bedroom, my keycard kept getting erased so I'd have to wait in the long lines just to get back into my room. How they handled room payments (I rented the room ahead of time, but they didn't take the money until I stayed.) I'm lucky I rented online through a travel website; I would have been very upset had I paid the $100+ they were charging. It certainly wasn't even close to worth $100 a night.

Democracy Engine generally distributes funds weekly (to ensure that our political recipients are in compliance with all campaign finance laws) or monthly. Our weekly distributions cover a period from 12am on Monday to 11:59:59pm on Sunday ET (some slight variations with donations made between midnight and 3am ET will occur due to the different time zones in which servers exist), while our monthly distributions cover a period from 12am on the 1st of the month to 11:59:59pm on the last day of the month ET (as with weekly checks, some slight variations occur).
For those receiving a check, we cut checks on Monday and they generally arrive on Thursday or Friday for weekly checks and a few days into the new month for monthly checks. There are no fees to receive monthly checks, but weekly checks carry a fee of $2/check (this fee is waived for campaign entities required by law to receive funds weekly).
For those receiving funds via ACH direct deposit, we initiate those transfers on Wednesdays and funds deposited in your account on Thursday. There are no fees to receive weekly deposits via ACH.
Out of cycle ACH transfers (meaning not part of our standard weekly transfer) are possible, but carry a fee of $10 to cover bank charges we incur. We can also Wire funds with a fee of $40 (and potential incoming wire fees from your bank). In all cases, we can only transfer funds that have been reconciled, which generally precludes transfers of funds donated the same day we make the transfer.
ACH transfers deposit the next business day (excluding weekends and holidays). Wire transfers deposit the same day they are made.

Finding a job is a job itself and a bad economy only makes things worse. Not only are job options limited, but employers are looking for highly-skilled individuals to fill each precious position. Use the advice given in the article to improve your effort and stand out from the others that also want your spot.
When you want to get a job, you need to dress your best, even if the job doesn't require you to. The more professional you look, the more credibility you have. You don't have to wear something as formal as a tuxedo, but just make sure you are dressed to impress.
Know what the industry standard is when it comes to pay, and do not undervalue yourself during salary negotiation. People ask for too little in the hopes of landing the job. This can be true if you go overboard, but if you act desperate, then you may end up with low pay that can hurt you for years to come.
Try to maintain pleasant relationships with your coworkers. Being know as a team player, someone who can work well with others, is a valuable trait. This will help you find a new job in a snap.
Plan to arrive at work early. There can be things that delay your trip, and you must make sure you're on time. Your employer will be happier with your work if you are always here on time.
Keep your business relationships and friendships separate. Stay professional with all employees. When professional relationships extend beyond the workplace, interpersonal conflicts can quickly escalate — often with disastrous results. Avoid getting too close to people and certain behavior, so you can maintain your position and integrity at your job.
Be positive. Focus on getting a position, and don't use the word "failure." Don't get too comfortable relying on unemployment compensation. Instead, set goals and deadlines for yourself in respect to how many applications you fill out.
If you need to hire someone, be patient. Regardless of why you are seeking a new employee, you should not hire anyone that is not a good fit. Rushing to hire can cause regret. In many states, it can be hard to get rid of an employee after they're hired.
A good resume can get you the job you want. Make your background apparent to prospective employers with a well organized resume. You resume should highlight your educational background, job experience and any special skills and strengths. Be sure to include contact information and any volunteer work.
If you are new on the job, make sure you communicate with your boss. A lot of problems in the workplace come about thanks to too little communication, which can make your boss very leery. You should check in a bit more than average. Your employer will be thankful for the information and provide guidance and support.
Have a regular schedule at work. Many employers want to have a consistent worker. Trust is increased when your employer knows he can count on you. Set your lunch break and end of work hours specifically. Should adjustments need to be made, good communication, as early as possible, is suggested.
Before you go to your interview, practice your interviewing techniques with someone. You can do this with a friend or relative. This gives you real life experience when you are stepping into your interview. Your partner can let you know how you did, and what to improve.
It is a good idea to have letters of reference ready before you start your job search. Lots of folks talk about having references, but it is better to have actual letters on hand. If you do this, your interviewer can read right away about your great contributions and will not have to chase down your references.
Although you may not currently be a job seeker, take a look at job fairs in your area. You could find things out that you didn't know anyways, or you could just find that it helps you to figure out more about the job market that you're currently in.
If your interview is conducted over the phone, you still need to prepare for it. Get a speech written and memorized that goes over what you've accomplished, what your goals are, and why you think the job is right for you. This can help you to get the in-person interview that you want.
Avoid making negative and rude comments about your old bosses on the Internet, especially through Facebook, Twitter and other social media. It's likely that a prospective employer will peruse the social networks to find out more about you. If you never post anything derogatory online, you won't ever have anything to worry about.
Be sure to research any company before interviewing with that company. What have they done? What are their values? If possible, find out what their vision is. Make sure you are noticed by researching your prospective employers and asking smart questions and making good comments.
Research any company that you plan on interviewing with. The more you know about the organization and its image, the more impressive you will appear. As a result, you'll stand out from the other applicants. Therefore, the job will be yours for the taking.
Follow the adage–dress right for the position you hope to have, not the one you've got. It is important to always have a professional and put together appearance. You never know who you will meet today. Do not leave your house looking sloppy when job searching.
It is not a simple task to find a job when the economy is in such a tough state. Not only are you being scrutinized, but there are many other candidates that you have to compete against. This article will ensure that those hiring will want you and no one else.

text: Don't know how many Marillion fans there are around here, but I thought I'd share some thoughts. I received my order from across the pond containing Shot in the Dark and A Piss-up in Brewery this week, and finished checking them both out tonight. Shot in the Dark is a concert film, with performances from three shows intercut with interviews and musings from the band members. The performances are great, but the sound and picture quality are so-so at best. The video (presented in non-anamorphic widescreen) was originally shot for a VHS (released back in 2000, I think), and is very soft. I don't think the picture is all that important, but there it is. The audio track (DD2.0), however, is very disappointing. The volume level is very low, and the sound quality ranges from good to somewhat muffled. As I said, though, the perfomances are great. Highlights: "Easter," "Sugar Mice," and "Afraid of Sunlight," and, if you wait through the end credits, a cover of "Abraham, Martin, and John." Also included are several extra tracks, some from the shows in the film, others from in-store and fan club gigs, including a great version of "The Great Escape." Other extras include the EPK for marillion.com and some mildy amusing interview out-takes. Because of the sound quality, I'll recommend this only if you're a pretty big fan. In the insert for A Piss-up in a Brewery, there's a note that explains the video was shot for internet broadcast and not intended to be released in DVD (this one is full-frame). Looks fine to me, but there only two, maybe three cameras. The sound (again, DD 2.0) on this one, though, is fantastic. This was a very informal, semi-acoustic show; lots of audience interaction and joking around. The perfomances range from very good to simply inspired. The version of the Fish-era "Sugar Mice" is gorgeous (inspired me to change my signature). Other highlihts: "Go," "Beautiful," and a cover of Crowded House's "How Will You Go." I'd recommend this one to any Marillion fan, or anyone looking for an introduction to the band. Despite the problems with Shot in the Dark, I'm pretty happy with both DVDs. These are Racket Records releases, and are only available through the official Marillion website.

About Absynthe
This sleek and fabulously sultry restaurant is inspired by the favoured spirit of ear-lopping Van Gogh, as well as a host of other artists and madmen. While the potent drink is not pushed in the restaurant (perhaps to the disappointment of hardcore-booze aficionados), the complexity of flavours and the sense of occasion with which the dishes are served are certainly on a par with the stringent rituals observed by true absinthe addicts. Co-owner and chef Meyjitte Boughenout cut his teeth in several of the great restaurants of Europe before importing his expertise to Australia's eateries. His menu combines his knowledge of French and European cuisine with his newfound love for Aussie produce, creating dishes ranging from barramundi glazed with wild Tasmanian pepper, to scallop pizza with a tapenade ice cube, or classically prepared sevruga caviar. Saturday nights are degustation only, when Boughenout presents a seven-course menu of his a la carte favourites and a few experimental surprises.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hello, and thank you for using this service. I'll be helping you with your problem today.So the filter won't actually stop this dishwasher from draining---just washing well. GE has a very difficult drain pump to access. Since your dishwasher isn't draining, the only way to investigate is to uninstall the dishwasher and access the drain pump in the lower back left corner of the dishwasher. Disconnect the drain hose from the drain pump and blow through it to make sure it's clear. If it's clear, remove the drain pump itself and check for debris in the pump. Remove the debris if you find any. If you find nothing and the disposal wasn't replaced causing this problem, then you'll need to order and replace the drain pump to fix the issue. If this problem started from you recently replacing the garbage disposal under the sink--please just let me know because it's likely not adapted correctly to accept the drain line.
We are on the honor system here. Please remember to rate my service by selecting a star at the top of the screen before you leave today. If you need anything else, just let me know. You can continue asking follow-up questions at no additional charge after rating my service if you still need assistance.
Hello again. I'm just following up because I haven't heard back from you and I see this question is still open. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Ed Emmett Says Harris Is "a County of Substance" with Some, Umm, Ethical Problems
A county of substance...and ethical problems
Harris County Judge Ed Emmett gave his State of the County speech today and, as expected, he announced things were going pretty good.
He said the state of Harris County is "far better than most governmental entities" and that it remains a "County of Substance," in case you were wondering.
Not all is well, according to Emmett's office:
Emmett also acknowledged several high-profile scandals involving county officials in 2011, and told the gathering that the county "must find a way to prevent unethical behavior as much as possible and to establish clear channels for uncovering and reporting such behavior when it occurs."
Prevent unethical behavior "as much as possible"? That's not the Harris County we know and love.
"Our finances are tight and our needs, like our population, are growing," Emmett said. "But county leaders are committed to providing efficient, effective government. We are also committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of county residents."

Expecting Too Much
By Kirsten
Being that my last blog entry could easily be seen as an indictment of John (see Two to Tango), I think it only fair for me to paint at least part of the other side of the story. Namely, how did I, Kirsten Joy Cronlund, contribute to the inner crumbling of my marriage to John.
I just finished reading the book Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert, which I highly recommend. It chronicles the soul-searching and research, both academic and informal interviewing, that the author undertook during the time leading up to her "shotgun" wedding.
One segment in Gilbert's book really got me thinking about myself and relationships:
Maybe it would be useful for me to at least acknowledge to myself now, on the eve of my second marriage, that I, too, ask for an awful lot. Of course I do. It's the emblem of our times. I have been allowed to expect great things in life. I have been permitted to expect far more out of the experience of love and living than most other women in history were ever permitted to ask. When it comes to questions of intimacy, I want many things from any man, and I want them all simultaneously. It reminds me of a story my sister once told me, about an Englishwoman who visited the United States in the winter of 1919 and who, scandalized, reported back home in a letter that there were people in this curious country of America who actually lived with the expectation that every part of their bodies should be warm at the same time! My afternoon spent discussing marriage with the Hmong made me wonder if I, in matters of the heart, had also become such a person – a woman who believed that my lover should magically be able to keep every part of my emotional being warm at the same time.
This passage sums up the way that I feel that I most profoundly failed John in our marriage. I expected him to be my best friend, to be a successful businessman, to be a patient, devoted father, and to do it all on my time schedule. And worst of all – I took meticulous notes about all the ways in which he fell short of the mark. And I'd remind him of those "failings" at such opportune times as when we were fighting about something completely unrelated.
Put simply, I was mean to John. This point was driven home to me like a smack in the face about halfway through my one year Positive Psychology masters program at Penn. I'll never forget the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when I learned of an amazing research finding by psychologist Shelly Gable about an important way that really healthy couples interact with one another.
In short, Gable outlines a pattern of interaction that she calls Active Constructive Responding. This involves a genuinely positive (i.e. interested, curious, supportive – not necessarily cheerleaderish) response by one partner when the other shares good news.
Contrast the active constructive response to the active destructive ("Oh, honey – that idea you have for curing cancer is the stupidest thing I've ever heard!"); the passive destructive ("That's nice that you lost 5 pounds, but guess how much Susie's husband lost?"); and the passive constructive ("That's nice, dear.") An active constructive response would look more like this: "Wow, Sweetie. I know you've been working really hard for this promotion! I'm so happy for you that your boss saw what you have to offer. What's the most meaningful part about this for you?"
Not surprisingly, Gable's studies show that active destructive and passive destructive styles of interaction are not healthy for relationships. But what's less intuitive is that the passive constructive style is negligibly better than the two destructive styles. In other words, the only style that contributes to the health of a relationship is active constructive.
Now, that's worth noting.
If I were being really generous I would console myself with the fact that while I was married I didn't know anything about positive psychology, let alone the work of Shelly Gable. But I can't let myself off the hook that easily. Honestly, I can remember the deflated look on John's face many times over when he tried to share something fun or exciting with me and I ignored him or stomped on his ideas. If I had taken just a moment to put myself in his place I would have seen that what he really needed and wanted from me was enjoyment and support.
The slap in the face of Active Constructive Responding still makes me squirm a little (even as I'm typing this), but the part that makes me downright sad is the fact that not only was I not able to share in John's joys and dreams, but – perhaps more importantly – I had cut off many of the parts of myself that included unabashed joy and celebration.
To me, life was serious business, and if I behaved irresponsibly on my watch by dancing and celebrating then all hell might break loose. I was a rule follower and a responsible citizen, and as a result people knew they could count on me… but I sure could be a drag. And the way this played out in my marriage is that – I suspect – John learned through experience that I was not the one to turn to in good times. And that's a problem.
And, going back to the recognition of my too high expectations and my internal spreadsheet of John's successes and failures at meeting those demands, perhaps living with me became no-win situation, in which there were few fun respites.
The reason why I write all this is not to chastise myself or to suggest that I was a horrible wife and that I deserved the end of my marriage. That's not really my style. I write it, instead, for two main reasons: 1) It is a reminder to me that I choose who I am in every relationship I'm in, and if I want to be miserable then I can dwell in negativity and seriousness at all times. Or, if I want to have joyful, playful relationships, then I can choose to celebrate what goes right in them and to focus my attention primarily there. 2) I also want to send a message to everyone who reads this blog that your words and actions in your relationships are vitally important to the people you love. I think I really didn't understand this for many, many years, and through conversations with people in the last 6 years, I notice that there are lots of other people in my same situation. Choose your words carefully; they matter.
So now I'm a little better than I used to be - in my relationships with my kids, in my friendships, in my relationship with John, in my work relationships, and in romantic relationships I pursue. I try now, when I feel that I have been wronged, to take a step back and to analyze my feelings to figure out why I'm feeling that way. Then I remind myself of all the wonderful parts of my relationship with that person. And then, if I decide it's important enough for me to communicate my feelings to the other person, I think carefully about how I will say what I want to say. I remind myself that the other person is not trying to hurt me, and that my words have the power to either inspire or to deflate them, depending on how I phrase things.
Living fully in the moment, open to what's good in that moment, remaining curious about what might unfold. That's the stance I wish I could have taken in my marriage. Who knows if it would have meant that John and I would still be together, but I sure would feel better about how I had showed up there. And, either way, I have the opportunity moving forward to act on the insights I have gained through my mistakes.
