There are a number of situations where spousal support or alimony may be ordered in a divorce.

At the Law Office of Parker Edmiston, we provide our clients with experienced, competent family law advice and representation. With more than 20 years of legal experience, attorney Parker Edmiston will provide legal advice on the likelihood of alimony in your situation.

Different Types of Spousal Support
Alabama law provides several types of alimony to address different situations:
It is very important that you and your attorney consider which type of alimony may be best for your situation. It's also important to consider the tax implications of the different types of alimony and whether the alimony can be modified at a later date.

Podcast Creator Ignores Cries that Engineers Won't Listen to Podcast Making Forbes Citation Even More Validating
Easily Accessible Podcast for Engineers Thrives in the Face of Naysayers
RIDGEWOOD, New Jersey – December 30, 2017 – Forbes recently recognized The Engineering Career Coach Podcast as one of the 15 most inspiring podcasts for professionals. For the podcast host and creator, Anthony Fasano, PE, this was a major validation, after building this podcast for the last four years in the face doubt.
"When I launched this podcast focused on helping engineers and technical professionals develop both professionally and personally, many people told me that engineers wouldn't listen to a career focused podcast, "said Anthony Fasano, PE, President of Engineering Management Institute and author of Engineer Your Own Success. "I knew though, as an engineer myself, that engineers needed both career guidance and inspiration and was determined to deliver it to them in a format that they could easily digest on the go."
Since the first episode published in late 2011, the podcast has been downloaded over 1.5 million times in over 150 countries worldwide. "The success of the podcast should be a lesson to all professionals that you can accomplish whatever you set out to do, regardless of what people tell you," said Fasano.

Through Violet Eyes

Through Violet Eyes
Release Date: 8/1/2004
In a world where the dead can testify against the living, someone is getting away with murder. Because to every generation are born a select few souls with violet-colored eyes, and the ability to channel the dead. Both rare and precious—and rigidly controlled by a society that craves their services—these Violets perform a number of different duties. The most fortunate increase the world's cultural heritage by channeling the still-creative spirits of famous dead artists and musicians. The least fortunate aid the police and the law courts, catching criminals by interviewing the deceased victims of violent crime.
But now the Violets themselves have become the target of a brutal serial murderer—a murderer who had learned how to mask his or her identity even from the victims. Can the FBI, aided by a Violet so scared of death that she is afraid to live, uncover the criminal in time? Or must more of her race be dispatched to the realm that has haunted them all since childhood?
"Chilling ... Shades of Minority Report and The Eyes of Laura Mars ... tantalizing puzzle rife with red herrings, one made all the more entertaining by brisk pacing and strong internal logic."

Comrades in Kansas City are organizing against Trump coming to their city and spreading fascism, attracting the most backward jingoistic elements to his rallies. We send our unwavering support for comrades in Kansas City. Kansas City Pig Department(KCPD) and University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) are trying to repress student activistism. Within their desperation to extinguish the rage against Trump, local law enforcement are charging innocent youth with a felony. In another instance, KCPD surveiled another student activist via a unmarked car and in plain clothes. The student activist confronted the pigs who then attempted to intimidate them into snitching on other activists. Again, demonstrating their desperation to repress activists, and protect the fascist talking piece planning to come to KC. These comrades need our support along with monetary support, given the political repression that they're facing. The enemy has fucked up, in persecuting these activists it has only harden their commitment to the people! We say to these young activists, and as Comrade Mao reaffirmed to the young Red Guards, "it is right to rebel against reactionaries."

The Case for Mandatory Organ Donation
The Case for Mandatory Organ Donation
Now some leading ethicists and doctors are re-examining the principle of informed consent in government organ-donor programs, arguing that harvesting from cadavers should be a routine procedure just like autopsies in murder investigations.
If there's no afterlife, then who cares about what happens to your body? Why waste millions of perfectly good organs which could help the living? Again, we see how afterlife belief leads to the desire for 'bodily sanctity' and prevents the alleviation of terrible suffering.

What do I wear to law school?
Not going to lie, prior to law school orientation I was freaking out. I really wasn't sure what I should wear. When you google "what to wear to law school" the results differ drastically. Some blogs advised business attire, random forums from 2008 recommended casual clothes. Overall the advice I seemed to glean was to "dress casually" but not "too casually", many past law students specified "no workout attire", "no ripped jeans", "no revealing club attire". Even with this advice I felt there was a lot left to play with. So, as I do with any "first day" I spent hours agonizing over what would be appropriate. In the end I don't remember what I wore on the first day of summer classes.
By the first day of fall semester I was more comfortable with the law school atmosphere. I was an expert people watcher (read: lurk) all summer long observing what my classmates wore to school. Seattle is a VERY casual city, and law school was no exception. Other blogs I've read mentioned not wearing workout clothes to class…at my school this rule did not seem to apply. There were plenty of guys wearing basketball shorts and t-shirts and women in leggings and sweatshirts.
Personally, I chose to treat law school a little less casually. I don't wear workout clothes (the one day I wore an oversized sweatshirt our professor asked to take a group picture of the class and I immediately regretted it). I have worn ripped jeans but only on days I knew I would just be going to class and not to any meetings or to see any speakers. I wore this exact outfit on the second day of fall semester (trade the purse for a backpack) and tend to wear similar looks.
Sad confession: I hate business attire. I feel ugly in a suit. I feel ugly in an ill-fitting oxford, and find pencil skirts pretty boring. I know I will need to get over my hatred of business clothes for my career (I've had to do it in the past) but I was happy to find I could keep dressing "like myself" at school. I wouldn't say you need to dress business casual for law school classes, at least not in Seattle. I would say you should put a little more effort into your appearance than you did in undergrad, especially if you essentially just rolled out of bed and walked to class. I don't avoid fashion forward looks at this point but I know I will dress a bit more conservatively when I have a networking events, meetings, etc.
If you attend a professional school I would love to hear about what you wear and if it was an adjustment from what you wore to undergrad or what you wore to work.
P.S. If you are looking to update your business casual attire, Banana Republic is having a 40% off everything sale right now. I personally don't buy anything from Banana Republic unless they're having a sale because they have sales so often. I could NOT resist this ruffle pullover . I know it's hot out now but fall is just around the corner and having a cozy sweater in my closet makes the cool weather less dreadful.
Thank you Madeleine Wilson for the photos!

Secrets to Successful Writing: What's In Your Mind Counts
Part 2 of the Business of Writing – How to Make a Living as an Author or Writer
(This is a special guest post by one of our favorite writers. Grant will visit once or twice a month and explain the business of writing. His articles are spot-on for authors and writers interested in developing business sense or refining the way they run their writing businesses.)
Have you ever had the feeling that things are running out of control — that you don't seem to be in control of your own life anymore?
It's a feeling we've probably all had at some time or another. The real question you should be asking yourself is: How often do you feel you're not in control of your own life?
You see, if it's only once in a while, then there's nothing to worry about. But if this is generally how you feel, it's time to take action.
Have you heard of the saying: You are what you eat? Well, that happens to be very true. I like to take this a little further and say: You are what you think. This is not a new concept. Hundreds of years ago the French philosopher Rene Descartes said,
"I think, therefore I am."
I began thinking that, if you exist merely because you have the ability to think, then surely the way you think can affect your very existence – the way you exist.
The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that I was/am alone in my thinking. The world is full of positive thinkers. And negative thinkers too, for that matter. Why else is it that if we are all born equal (in a biological sense), some people go on to create very successful lives and careers, some amass great wealth, and some are able to live contentedly, while others just never seem to make it, being afflicted along life's journey with great misfortune, poverty and frustration?
Can luck have anything to do with it? Is there even such a thing as luck?
Don't fall into the trap of thinking there is because if you do, you will lose your competitive advantage as a writer. You will also be surrendering your initiative, which is another vital characteristic of a successful writer.
How You Can Boost Your Writing Career
If you can identify with this, what should you be doing to progress your career as a writer?
The first thing you need to do is examine your vision. What is your vision for yourself and your future?
Start by taking stock. That's right, just like you would if you were running a shop. Think about your strengths and weaknesses and write them down.
This is what your list might look like:
- Creative
- Well organized
- Disciplined
- Loyal
- Conscientious
- Humorous
- A great writer
- Ability to spot a good story
- Hard working
- Thorough
- Poor money manager
- Lack of vision
- Lack of self-belief
- Modesty
- Shy
- Humble
- Not pushy enough
- Poor marketer
- Drink too much
- Weak manager
Next, think of what your ideal situation in life would look like. Be extravagant; don't pull any punches here. And don't be bashful or modest. What I want you to visualize is the kind of lifestyle you'd be leading if you could have anything you wanted. If money were no object. If there were no social constraints placed on you at all…
Close your eyes and visualize the life you would love to have. Spend ten minutes enjoying the dream. Then write down the key point. They could be things like the following:
My Vision
- My house would be paid off
- My credit card would be paid off
- I'd drive a new sports car
- I'd be running my own very successful freelance business
- I'd be in demand as a writer
- I'd be earning at least $200,000 a year and only writing what I like
- I'd be working no more than three days a week
- I'll be specializing in travel writing
- I'll be the author of a best-selling novel
- I'll have my own column in a popular women's magazine
Now write down your vision in BIG BOLD letters and run off a few copies. Stick one up on your mirror in your bedroom and the other above your computer at your workstation. That way you're sure to see it at least a couple of times each day.
Habits for Highly Successful Writers
I want you to get in the habit of thinking about your vision at least twice each day – once first thing in the morning and once last thing at night. Close your eyes and see yourself living your ideal life. This is important because if you think it hard enough, it will come to pass.
Remember what Descartes said:
"I think, therefore I am."
You are what you think you are. It's important to realize that the first battle to become the new you will take place in your own mind and not out there in the marketplace. Understand that to be a successful writer, you have to think you're a successful writer. It really is a question of attitude.

Sogar die Deutschen Kinder sind fleissig. (Translation: Even the German children are diligent.)

It seemed like the logical thing to do, officer…December 26, 2009
Fröhliche Weihnachten!December 26, 2009
Merry Christmas, everyone! The sentiment's a bit late due to my sporadic internet access, but it's sincere. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I did.
At first my week was rather lonely and boring. For once in my life, I genuinely, wholeheartedly missed being in school. I always had such a good time conversing with my teacher and classmates, and with everyone I knew flying off in every direction to spend Christmas with friends and family, I felt rather deserted. But I did what I always do: I kept walking through my days (just like mom always told me to), completed whatever tasks were necessary, then cuddled up under my duvet with a movie or book. And I looked forward to Christmas.
I was invited to spend Christmas Day with a family from the church I've attended a few times. It's a non-denominational Protestant church with an English service (thank goodness) called MICC (Munich International Community Church). They paired you up with a volunteer family if you were away from home and didn't want to be alone for Christmas. You can always count on church folks to feed you, literally and spiritually! But in all seriousness, I was very grateful. They were so kind and hospitable to me, and the food was delicious. So I had a merry and blessed Christmas, and I hope you can all say they same!
Becoming My MotherDecember 21, 2009
Mommy, I finally understand what you've always meant by "managing your kitchen," albeit on a smaller scale. It hit me last night when I was taking a break from doing the dishes. I was hungry, and normally when I'm hungry I think to myself, "What sounds good?" Last night I looked in the fridge and instead thought, "What do I need to eat before it expires?"
Notes from NürnbergDecember 21, 2009
American exportation is everywhere. It's inescapable. Every radio I hear blares American pop music. Every train station I arrive at has a McDonald's, a Burger King, or both. The central train station in Munich has two Burger Kings. Seriously. They are literally within two minutes' walking distance of each other. Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC, Starbucks, they're all here too. It surprised me a little at first. I knew these chains existed in other countries, of course; I just didn't realize they operated on such a large scale. Many of the Europeans I've spoken with say they abhor all these American chains, but someone must like them, because they're booming. So I've gradually gotten used to seeing the logos of American enterprises tucked in between the cozy Bavarian pubs, restaurants, and bakeries. Then, just when I thought I couldn't be surprised by my own country anymore, I went to Nürnberg last Saturday and saw the very last American chain I ever expected to see: a Sally's Beauty Supply. I stared at it as I walked by, thinking to myself, "What's that doing here?" I was a business major for Pete's sake! I took D 301 (International Business Environment). It should come as no surprise to me that multi-national companies are so successful, but somehow it still does. Guess I should have taken D 302 after all. My professor is probably chortling somewhere.
At any rate, someone else can have the burgers. I'm too busy enjoying all the excellent German food. I had a fantastic dish at a restaurant not far from the Sally's Beauty Supply. It was seared turkey pieces cooked in a sherry-mushroom cream sauce and served with spätzle. It was so delectable it would have been sinful if I hadn't spent the whole day walking off the calories. The flavor of the sauce reminded me of another dish I love. My Peruvian readers may remember Grant Street Bar & Grill, which has sadly been closed for a few years now. They had a seared fillet of beef in a brandy-mushroom cream sauce on their menu. It was delicious. So tender and flavorful. Okay, I've got to switch topics now. I'm making myself hungry.
As I'm sure you've all noticed, angst over swine flu is everywhere. Upon arrival, I received not one, but two tip sheets from the school about how to avoid it, and what to do if I thought I might have it (See a doctor and don't come to school. Logical, no?). Many restrooms now have pages of instructions on how to avoid it tacked on the wall, all with the same basic theme: wash your hands. One hopes people do that anyway, but maybe that's being overly optimistic. Anyway, not to be left out of this furor, the shopkeepers in Nürnberg are also taking appropriate precautionary measures. See below:
Blog BusinessDecember 20, 2009
Being new to blogging, I often find the various statistics and data accumulated by WordPress about my blog rather comical. For example, you know you're a little off-beat when the following search terms yield your blog: "decoding yoplait expiration date" and "gumball machine statue liberty." Looking strictly at the words I type, it's an entirely logical conclusion. But looking at the topics I write about, the results are rather comically off-base. The internet is a wonderful tool, but using it correctly can be tricky.
Speaking of which, this information is rather late in coming, and I know it will be old news to most of you, but it's come to my attention that some of my readers are first-time blog readers, and aren't familiar with how commenting works, so I want to provide some general clarification. At the bottom of every text I post, there is a little link that says "# comments" or "add a comment." You can click this link to leave questions, remarks or feedback of any kind. You are all more than welcome to do so; the back-and-forth is a big part of what makes blogging fun (for me, anyway). Just realize that when you make a comment, it doesn't just go to me. Anyone who reads the blog can see it. This can also be great fun, because it can initiate discussion. The process of posting a comment is as follows: once you've clicked the link, you will see the comments that have already been posted (if there are any), and underneath there are four boxes for you to fill out. For name, you can either use your real name or a made-up screen name, but if you are using your real name, it's inadvisable to use both your first and last name for privacy reasons. Your email address is private (only I see it), and it is required only so that the website can attempt to discern whether you are a genuine commenter or a spammer (online advertiser). The website box is for people who have their own website or blog and want to promote it when they comment. If you do, great, if not, simply leave it blank. And the last box is, of course, where you type whatever it is you'd like to say. When you're finished, simply click the button that says "submit comment" to make your comment visible. That's all there is to it. If you ever post anything by mistake and want it deleted, send me an email and I'll take care of it. So now that that's clear, I hope we'll get to hear from a few more of the blurkers. I know you're out there! Don't be shy! 🙂
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned…December 16, 2009
…and I've never been to confession. Not in the Catholic sense, anyway. I speak directly with the man upstairs when I've been naughty. Like last Tuesday, for example. Southerngirl, get the polishing cloth ready; my halo's in the mail. Time to 'fess up and ask forgiveness.
As a rule, I generally try to keep my language pretty clean. I'll admit, I'm not always successful. Swearing is a bad habit, and a hard one to break. Sometimes when I'm frustrated (i.e. when I'm in traffic), the words just slip out, but I'm penitent afterward. And if mom's around, I'm also rebuked afterward. That said, I've tried to behave myself in Deutschland. I'm familiar with German swear words (as in the States, one hears them too frequently not to be), but I try not to use them.
Then last week I went to the Kreisverwaltungsreferat (try saying that three times fast) here in Munich to see about obtaining a visa. The man in the office began rattling off a list of all the various things I needed: statements from my parents and my school, a photo, an application, and… Krankenversicherung (medical insurance). Which I don't have. My coverage with my parents ended two years ago, and I was waiting until I found a "real" job to deal with that particular issue. With that single word, the tower of frustration and stress that had been building for the previous few days imploded, burying my composure beneath the rubble, and the first words to come into my head popped out of my mouth with profound depth of feeling before I could stop them: "Oh Scheiße."
Fabiana was quite shocked. Not at the word, just its source. I couldn't believe I'd said it, either. Nary a bad word for 6 weeks, and then her "heilige" Beatrice came out with that one. In the Kreisverwaltungsreferat, of all places, where I should have been on my best behavior, considering I was seeking their permission to remain in the country. That's the problem with swear words. Once they're in your head, they pop out when you least expect it at the most inopportune (and embarrassing) times and places. Fortunately the man was very understanding. Fabiana followed up my unfortunate exclamation with, "'Schade,' Beatrice. 'Schade' ist besser." But the man just laughed and said I'd had it right the first time, then named a couple of insurance organizations I could look into. So here's hoping I can obtain a visa. In the meantime, I'll try to watch my mouth, and not to do anything to get myself deported.
A Fortnight and a Half of MiscellaneaDecember 13, 2009
Sorry for being MIA so long; it's been a stressful week on several fronts, but I'm ready to get caught up now. Over the years, I've gotten in the obsessively frequent habit of writing long notes and lists for myself to remind me of things I don't wish to forget. This can be a blessing and a curse. I've been keeping a detailed list of things to blog, and it's starting to get long, so now I'm going to plunge in and purge it all at once. Here goes.
A Concert
A little over three weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend a classical concert. The music was by Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Bartók, and was performed by Die Münchner Philharmoniker, with piano solos by Alice Sara Ott. It was unbelievable. I'd had a rough day, and was feeling down on myself because I wasn't picking up German as fast as I would've liked. All things school-related have always come relatively easy to me with minimum effort, and learning German has proved to be something of an educational ego bruiser at times (which is probably a good thing). At any rate, I felt much better after the concert. The music was so powerful and uplifting, and the piano soloist was unbelievable. She was only 21, and she played everything from memory with perfect precision. There wasn't a single key on that piano that she didn't use. She extracted every note, every sound possible from the instrument. It was incredible.
A Castle, A Tangle, and a Pastry
The following weekend, I visited Schloss Neuschwanstein with a group from school. I'd already seen it once in 2007 and, having forgotten how strenuous the walk up to the castle is, I decided to go back. I was under the weather that day, having just come down with a sinus condition of some sort, and the mountain climbing required to reach the castle just about did me in. I decided early on that my second tour of Neuschwanstein would very likely be my last. But that aside, it is quite amazing once you get there, and I do recommend seeing it if you're ever in Deutschland. The train trip was two hours each way, but we had plenty to keep us occupied. One of the students from Finland often knits socks during our train trips. She had acquired a giant pink ball of discount yarn somewhere, and it had quickly morphed itself into one big knot. I offered to help her with it, and three of us spent the entire trip down and back untangling it and rolling it into balls for her. I told her afterward that she owed us all a pair of socks. 🙂 I don't know why yarn and thread skeins are always like that, but whenever I do needlework, I seem to spend as much time untangling as I do stitching. I was interested to learn that needlework is often taught in European schools. Perhaps if I'd studied here, I wouldn't have been considered such a nerd. Oh well. Speaking of balls, I also tried a new sweet that day, a specialty from Rothenburg ob der Tauber called a Schneeball (snowball). It was basically a wad of pie crust about the size of a baseball with various flavored glazes. I chose coconut. It was interesting. It tasted good, but as desserts go, it was a little on the dry side. And messy. I left a Hänsel-type trail of crumbs through Füssen.
…will be boys. Case in point, a recent outing in Augsburg, where the men of BWS enjoyed the latest marketing strategy from Vodafone.
A Random Act of Kindness
Late one evening I was standing in front of a ticket machine in the subway station, trying to figure out which ticket I needed to get me home. You can purchase multiple types of public transportation tickets for various time frames and areas. Normally I buy a weekly ticket for central Munich, and then I'm covered, but that week I hadn't for some reason. Anyway, a woman who was leaving the station asked me if I needed a ticket, and then gave me hers. She'd bought one that morning which was good for a whole day of travel within Munich and outlying areas, and was apparently finished with it, so I got to ride home for free that night. It was such a thoughtful thing to do. I really appreciated her kindness.
Random Acts of Unkindness
With the notable exception of the waiters in Hofbräuhaus (who I think have spent too much time with drunk tourists; they all need vacations from the service industry), most everyone I've met in Germany has been infinitely congenial and good-natured. Whether they be teachers, retail personnel, or random people on the street they are, as a rule, friendly, cordial and helpful. Of course, there are exceptions. The Monday after I arrived, my first day of school, I was standing in Sendlinger-Tor-Platz with my sheaf of Google directions, trying in vain to locate Hauptfeuerwache. A young blonde twerp dressed "punk" style, perhaps 13 or so, walked by with another boy. He ran his fingertips over my elbow and said "dicke," and he and his friend walked away laughing. Mind you, I didn't understand much German at that point, but I knew what "dicke" meant. Fat. Not cool. I was reminded of that incident on the night of the great gelatin debate. As we were walking to the grocery store, we met two large, boisterous Italian men who were playing with a dog. One stepped sideways to allow us to pass, then yelled something after us in Italian (which, as I later learned, begins with "b" and ends with "itches" when translated to English). Fabiana threw some irate-sounding Italian back over her shoulder at him, then explained what had happened. I have no idea what we did to irritate the man, but seeing as he'd just exited a pub, I imagine he was three sheets to the wind. Or maybe he was just a jerk. It happens. But looking on the positive side, I've been in a foreign country for 7 weeks now and had only two unpleasant encounters, which are more than balanced out by dozens of pleasant ones. Mercifully, the scales tip heavily to the favorable side. I love it here.
Yet Another Grocery Rumination
I'm sure you're all getting tired of reading about the novelty of grocery shopping in a foreign country (what is this, the fifth time?). If so, feel free to skip this section, because I've found this subject to be a deep well of curiosities, wonderment and cultural contrast. The typical American supermarket is a massive complex with infinite variety. The choices for every product are endless (perhaps sometimes excessive). Most of our grocery stores cannot be called "minimalist" in any sense of the word. Even the biggest, most diverse grocery stores here carry only a fraction of the choices the average American could expect to find as a matter of course. Products that have entire aisles all to themselves in the states (breakfast cereals, chips and baking products, for example) have only a moderate rack or a few shelves dedicated to them here. Instead of fifty choices, you'll have five or ten. Or one or two. But in contrast, there are also areas here which offer much more variety (and sometimes more quality). Meats and cheeses, for example. At home, we combine the two with a few inedible noodle salads and prepared foods and call it "the deli." In larger supermarkets here, meats and cheeses have separate counters, and they are massive. Instead of two kinds of salami, there are a dozen or so. My favorite example of quality and variety here is the chocolate. Galeria Kaufhof has a section the size of Rhode Island dedicated to chocolate. I reveled in this the Monday before last when I went shopping for an advent calendar. There were dozens to choose from, and they weren't the cheap, flimsy affairs with small lumps of milk chocolate one finds in the states. Well, some were, but most weren't. Most were gourmet chocolates from well-known candy makers such as Lindt. One calendar could cost up to 30 Euros. I went with a middling one for 15. Perhaps it was a little steep for what is, essentially, a glorified 24-piece box of chocolates, but I haven't been disappointed. Every new day reveals a little piece of sweet, chocolaty bliss. Merry Christmas to me! I may be "dicke," but at least I'm jolly!
St. Nikolaus Cometh
Speaking of jolly, we must have been good students, because St. Nikolaus and his… umm… "unique" angelic assistant paid BWS a visit last Friday, and we all got some goodies.
We didn't quite jell…December 3, 2009
Fabiana and I went grocery shopping in Tengelmann last night, and I found something that surprised me a little bit: Jell-O cups. They weren't Jell-O brand, of course (Dr. Oetker brand Götter Speise, actually), but really, gelatin is gelatin. I was tickled by this, and bought four cups. Fabiana, on the other hand, was a little bit horrified, particularly when I suggested she try one. She said she'd wait until I'd eaten one and see if I was still alive. We ended up having a lively debate over the pros and cons of gelatin in the dairy section, much to the amusement of an elderly lady shopping for cheese. Fabiana argued that the gelatin was made from chemicals, and was therefore unhealthy, and icky to boot. My argument was that it was only sugar, water and gelatin (which is a natural product), and was therefore no worse for you than the average sweet snack. In point of fact, it's actually healthy in some ways. Eating gelatin products strengthens your bones, teeth, and fingernails. At any rate, we had to agree to disagree, so now I'll let the majority rule, democratic-like. Please do me the honor of participating in my first blog poll. Gelatin: good or evil? Cast your vote below, and Fabiana and I will "crow or eat crow" depending on the results. Make your voice heard!
FYIDecember 2, 2009
For those of you who don't already know, I've decided to extend my stay in Munich. I won't be home until the end of January, and I'll be remaining here over Christmas break. When I began my course, I realized very quickly that two months would not be nearly enough time to learn as much as I'd like. Three months probably won't be either (one requires 30 years according to Mark Twain), but I'm going to run out of money eventually. The more I learn, the more I realize how much there still is to learn, and I want to make the most of my time here. I'll miss being with my loved ones for Christmas more than I can say, but learning a second language is important to me, and this trip is such a wonderful opportunity. So, when you're carving your roast beast this year, remember me, and know I'll be thinking of you.
Drat.December 1, 2009
As my regular readers (I'm so happy I can say that!) may recall, I was informed a few weeks ago that I'd have to make a presentation, and I wasn't wild about the idea. After that, no more was said about it for a couple of weeks, and I thought maybe I'd dodged the bullet. No such luck. I've been assigned a presentation date. My teacher had, in fact, forgotten about the presentations (permanently, I'd hoped), but he remembered last week. I have to present on December 7th. Bitte! Nein!
I've finally chosen a topic (until I change my mind, that is). I'm going to talk about Handel's Messiah. I've had it stuck in my head for the last two days, and I regret that I wasn't able to participate in the community choir's performance this year.

Seiko 5 7S26 "LumiDial"
Circa 2004
All living things gravitate towards light. We are constantly amazed by the energy given off by a light source, bewildered, if you must, by luminescence.
The same principle that sends billions of insects to their doom has been employed to much constructive use by the watch industry. Luminous paint has long been used to capture the sun and place it the space of our wrists. Seiko has even developed their own version of luminous paint - LumiBrite, and it is used copiously on this watch,
The LumiDial gives off a very sporty appeal, first from the tonneau case that links nicely to the bracelet. The polished baton indices add to the theme of light, reflecting light from all angles to give you that increased legibility. Hour and minute hands blend very well into the indices, adding to the sports watch favour.
Much of the design elements have been concentrated on the outer and inner bezels. A 24-hour indication and minute markers complete the sports watch look, leaving much of the dial clean for it's unique purpose - to capture the sun.
It's funky I give you that, but I can't really say that I find it distasteful. It somehow gives the watch a new persona, and man will it be the conversation starter.
Over it all, the bright red second hand sweeps across the radiating base, providing a nice contrast should your taste tire from the luminescent allure. If that doesn't strike your fancy, perhaps a look through the display back at the workhorse 7S26 calibre will do the trick.

I think today I'm going to start a baby gift for my boyfriend's new niece and nephew (the fabric and embroidery thread is for that). I also picked up some knitting needles and yarn so I can finally learn how to knit!

good english
to read makes our speaking English good.
7:00 pm 29 December 2008
Another ARC -- this one took me a very, very long time to get through. I read about a third of the way through it, got bored with the set-up, and it took me about two months to pick it up again. This was strange to me, as the Firsts are one of those things I enjoy investigating. I'm getting ahead of myself, though.
The 19th Wife explores the story of Ann Eliza Young, a 19th-century woman whose apostasy from the Mormon faith eventually led to her writing a memoir exposing the truths (as she saw them) of polygamy, or plural marriage. She had been married to Brigham Young, one of the big names of the faith, so naturally this caused an uproar. Ann Eliza comes across as mostly likeable in this novel, and her narrative is easy enough to follow.
Her story is told and intertwined with a present-day murder mystery, when a Fundamentalist husband is shot and killed. The voice for this story is a boy named Jordan -- the murder victim is his father, and the main suspect in the shooting is his mother, one of the victim's many wives. As the book progresses, Jordan gets closer to the truth. This storyline does wrap up satisfactorily, albeit a little too quickly for my tastes.
Mixed in with these two storylines are a few other minor ones; this wouldn't be noteworthy except that each one employs a different narrative voice. It all works together eventually, but until you get a good half-way into the novel, it can be a bit confusing, especially with all the different names you have to keep track of.
All in all The 19th Wife is a pretty solid read, although I'd venture to say the plodding set-up (where the history of Mormonism is concerned, especially) will turn off anyone who does not already have in interest in the subject matter. Calling a narrative voice into question, as Ebershoff does, more or less, late in the novel, is an interesting spin -- I was thinking it would be interesting to reread the book with that in mind, but honestly am not THAT interested in it. That pretty much sums up the book, actually: by the end, I was thinking, "Huh, this would be a good candidate for a reread, with all this new knowledge I've gained in mind." But I'm just not compelled enough to go for it.
It was a solid novel, and enjoyable once it finished setting the scene. (I did rip through the last half in two days, after all.) I'm glad I finished it. It's not a keeper, but it was worthwhile.

Object: Venus and Cupid
Museum Number: P_EDM_0005
Dimensions: H 1525 mm, W 944 mm, D55mm
Keywords: Evelyn De Morgan, allegorical painting, Venus, goddess of beauty, Cupid, god of love, mythology, seashells
Dates: 1878
Marks / Inscriptions: Signature, painted: "EP 1878", lower right
As with many of Evelyn De Morgan's early works, this painting is inspired by mythology. Venus, the Roman goddess of beauty, is said to have sprung from the foam of the sea: the seashells represented here have a dual meaning as they also symbolise female fertility and sexual potency.
Venus's companion is Cupid, the Roman god of love, typically represented as a young winged boy. Mythology states that Venus confiscated Cupid's arrows and in this representation it appears that Cupid is trying to persuade Venus to return these to him.
Object Location: Loan - Wightwick Manor

He grew so much as a player as he began to understand the game more and more. His favorite part was of course batting and running the bases. :)
Little sis was proud of her ball player!
The last game all the boys did a great job! Austin got two hits and made it to home both times. :)

0XE files are incessantly popular. However, a file name containing 0XE file extension is problematic for some of the users. They have problems with correct opening of a file with 0XE extension. However, it should be remembered that 0XE file extension can match one or more types of files. The most popular is F-Secure Renamed Infected Executable Format but if there are others, you will find information concerning them below.
So, it is worth looking close at the problem concerning 0XE files and search for its solution.
A list of programs supporting files types with 0XE extension can be found below. Applications are sorted according to appropriate operational systems and their popularity.
.0xe file extension
Category: Executables
If 0XE file does not open, firstly, it is worth using files associations built in the Windows system with application that can support them. In order to do it, you should double-click a 0XE file icon. A list of programs that probably support such a file will appear. It is enough to choose one of them so that Windows would open a given extension with it. Incorrect file's association will result in Windows trying to open 0XE file with a wrong program all the time even if there is an appropriate application supporting this format on a drive. In this case, it is necessary to perform the above mentioned registry scanning and associations' repair.
If associations are correct and Windows still cannot open the file, most probably the computer does not have appropriate software supporting files with name containing 0XE in their extension. The solution to this problem is very simple. You should buy or download a free (if they exist) application that will allow you to open, browse and edit 0XE format (You can also try to find more informations on FileInfo). It is no risk because many paid programs have free test versions enabling to check their functionality.

Key points to treat Kidney Cyst:
Kidney Cyst means that there is one or more cyst in kidneys. Cysts will
secrete cyst fluid constantly and then urging the enlargement of cyst. The
enlargement of cyst will oppress blood capillaries round cysts so that ischemia
and anoxia will appear in kidneys. Cyst fluid contains inflammatory cells which
will damage kidney tissues. The best way to treat Kidney Cyst is to restrain the
secretion of cyst fluid and promote the resorption of cyst fluid so as to
decrease the size of cysts.Suggestions for Kidney Cysts During Dialysis

The function of stem cell transplant to Kidney Cyst:
The growing of cysts will also damage the kidney tissues so that stem cells
can differentiate into new cells to improve kidney functions.
1. Stem Cell Transplant can improve the condition of anemia in kidneys. Bone
marrow stem cells and Umbilical stem cells have the function of differentiate
into hemopoietic stem cells. The improvement of anemia will help to provide
enough blood circulation to kidneys, which can help the recovery of kidney
2. Stem Cell Transplant can differentiate into functional cells which will
surround the cyst wall of cysts so as to increase the permeability of cyst wall
and then cyst fluid will permeated into blood flow and then cyst fluid will be
discharged out from through urine. At last, the cyst fluid will be less and less
so the cyst will be smaller and smaller.
3. Stem Cell Transplant can provide kidneys new cells differentiated from
stem cells. These new cells can replace those necrotic cells, which can improve
kidney function to a great extent.
Patients with kidney cyst should use Stem Cell Transplant as well as
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, which can get a good treatment effect. These
two method can find the basic cause of cyst and then treat kidney cyst from the

It was revealed on BBC Newsnight last night that Ed Lester chief executive of the Student Loans Company has been receiving his civil service salary via a service company in order to avoid PAYE. We do not believe that he is alone in receiving favourable tax treatment:-
We have some questions for the government and HMRC.
- How many other Full time civil service employees are paid via service company?
- Why did HMRC agreed no PAYE to be deducted?
- Why did Treasury agree (but unaware of tax deal) ?
- Why did HMRC made similar agreement with its IT officer ?
- Why are these cases apparently exempt from IR35
The discovery of the details of Mr Lester's pay deal was made following a freedom of information request by Newsnight.
The payment arrangement for his £182,000 civil service salary to be paid to a third party intermediary (his personal service company) had also been approved by HMRC – twice. HMRC appears to have agreed this when he was engaged on a temporary contract, and then again when he was taken on full-time. He also receives £550 per week in travel expenses for his commute to work, also apparently tax-free.
Danny Alexander, the chief secretary to the Treasury signed off the pay deal, but seems unaware of what he agreed. It is reported that he has informed Newsnight he is now investigating further!

Installation is part of a major replacement of wireless systems following Ofcom licensing changes
ALAMEDA, USA – November 28, 2018 – Clear-Com® announced today that its FreeSpeak II wireless communication solution has been adopted as part of a wireless systems replacement project across 14 BBC sites, including New Broadcasting House in London, and Salford Quays.
Earlier this year the BBC issued an RFP to replace a large quantity of its wireless audio equipment, following Ofcom's announcement of a reduction in the available 700Mhz Spectrum for Programme Making and Special Events users (PMSE) from May 2020.
The project will start with installations in 12 studios at New Broadcasting House, followed by two studios in Salford Quays, plus 10 English Regions sites. The BBC's Parliament studio at Millbank and Academy facilities at Evesham will also have the new equipment installed.
Each studio will have its own base station plus the requisite number of beltpacks and antennas needed in each facility. While a matrix system was initially considered but it was determined that individual base stations would enable studios to run independently, and would be more suited to a fast-paced broadcast environment as well as being more cost-effective and easier to use.
The FreeSpeak II wireless system provides a future-proof and flexible communication system that can be configured specifically for each studio and expanded easily should the need arise," said Damien Egan, Regional Sales Manager, Clear-Com. "We're pleased to work with the selected SI, dB Broadcast on this prestigious installation."
Clear-Com, an HME company, is a trusted global provider of professional real-time communications solutions and services since 1968. We innovate market proven technologies that link people together through wired and wireless systems.
Clear-Com was first to market portable wired and wireless intercom systems for live performances. Since then, our history of technological advancements and innovations has delivered significant improvements to the way people collaborate in professional settings where real-time communications matters. For the markets we serve — broadcast, live performance, live events, sports, military, aerospace and government– our communication products have consistently met the demands for high quality audio, reliability, scalability and low latency, while addressing communication requirements of varying size and complexity. Our reputation in the industry is not only based on our product achievements, but also on our consistent level of customer engagement and dedication to delivering the right solutions for specialized applications, with the expertise to make it work. Around the globe and across markets, Clear-Com's innovations and solutions have received numerous awards and recognitions for ingenuity and impact to customers.

M/f; 39 minutes
A simple exercise except the premise is fun, and a fertile CP imagination can create abundant sequels. In the year 2050, because of genetic engineering there are too many women, so ladies seek men for hire. In a reverse-brothel, we see a group of men at 'The Keep,' a spanking club where submissive women seek pleasure. Lucy visits, interviews each guy to see what his spanking specialty is, and selects 'Ricky.'
Lucy selects "bedroom" as the scene. Lucy has always sought a "bossy husband who spanks me constantly." So they will act out three fantasies; caught with another man; caught smoking; and one which turns Ricky on–she has trashed his baseball card collection.
The couple do three spanking sequences, with Lucy dressed, then undressed, slightly differently in each. The actress is a very tall, thin brunette, actually taller than the Tom Cruise-like male actor. The spankings, OTK and on the bed, couch, or a stool, and on panties,nightgown, or on the bare, in various positions. They are moderate and playful, consentual and co-educational as Shadowlane does.
A more aggressive director than Eve Howard was permitted to be in this era might have concluded these scenes with a sexual act,as Shadowlane has indeed done since. Or we would have enjoyed Lucy being handled a bit more roughly, within her limits of desiring domination, like a visit to a woodshed. Both Ricky and Lucy surely were ready for it. Lucy thanks the guys and charges her visit on a heat-sensing electronic scanner.

President Obama once again pivoted his policy today with an East Room announcement that his administration will seek to extend the Bush era tax cuts for incomes less than $250,000. He called for Congress to pass a bill extending the cuts to middle class earners immediately, and address top earner cuts at a later date. It is just the first announcement in what many believe will be a contentious battle this month over taxes.
"I believe that an economy can be grown on a strong and growing middle class," said President Obama today in his address.
"Moreover we've tried it their way, it didn't work," referring to tax cuts to the wealthy designed to create a better environment for job and economic growth.
Instead, the President claimed tax cuts to the wealthy are a major driver of the deficit. The President continued his explanation by citing the current tax cuts are less likely to contribute growth, and have done nothing to help grow jobs or contribute to the economy in a way that benefits "98% of Americans".
"I might feel differently if we were still in surplus," he continued.
Given the current economic outlook, the President called for a return to Clinton-era tax levels, back to an era he said, where jobs were created and America had a budget surplus. He juxtaposed this with some common criticisms of Bush-era economics related to the recession. More so, he defended his administration's record on middle class taxes.
"Since I've been in office, I've cut taxes for the typical middle class family by $3,600."
Democrats have previously called for an extension of the tax cuts for earners below $1 million, a plan supported by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer. Going forward in an election year, Democrats will be closely watched as to whether they rally behind the President's message and this issue in their districts.
Congress is expected to take action later this month on the Bush tax cuts, which are scheduled to expire on January 1st. The President has previously threatened to veto any attempt to extend the tax cuts in full.
"I think it's going to have a decent impact on the economy. There are tax cuts that have never quite honestly worked in creating jobs. They've run up our debts and deficits, and millionaires and billionaires aren't a tax cut away from lots of jobs in this economy," said Robert Gibbs, an Obama economic adviser appearing on Monday on MSNBC's Morning Joe.
One year extension of the Bush tax cuts would cost approximately $150 billion, according to the New York Times. Economists have estimated a lack of action and full expiration of the cuts would impact the economy negatively, with a loss of up to 1% of economic growth.
"Let's not hold the American people hostage over another battle over taxes," said President Obama."So today my message to Congress is: pass a bill extending tax cuts for the middle class. Pass it tomorrow, I'll sign it tomorrow."
Despite his calls for cooperation, his newly announced policy is not expected to win many Republican allies.

FAQ's Friday.....
One of the most common questions I am asked is...
'Is Japanese Straightening Permanent?'
The answer is YES! Japanese straightening is a permanent solution to get rid or kinks, curls, frizz and uncontrollable hair - leaving it Sleek and Smooth.
I regularly see my long term clients every 6-12 months to re-straighten hair to treat their roots as the amazing straightening treatment I perform grows out.
Making your hair completely manageable can save you so much time when you have a busy lifestyle - so many of my clients appreciate how easy it is to now quickly blast their hair with a hair dryer in the morning and run out the door - no need for straighteners or products.
I have all my pricing listed on my website - and lots of my own before and after pictures to look at. So grab a cuppa and look through my site and I hope to see you soon at Sleek and Smooth Hair!

You may have seen someone walking a dog with a yellow ribbon on its leash or collar. It's not a celebration of sunny weather but, instead, part of the Yellow Dog Project, These dogs and owners are trying to tell you something.
The Yellow Dog Project is a global movement of owners of dogs that need space. These dogs are not necessarily aggressive, but are more often dogs who have issues with fear; are rescue dogs that have not had sufficient training to act predictably around strangers; are in training for work or service; or other reasons specific to the dog.
The Project seeks to educate people about appropriate ways to approach or make contact with a dog. It's important to ask the owner if you can pet their dog first, whether or not a dog is a "yellow dog." If an owner says that their dog is scared of people or doesn't like to be petted then their wishes should be respected. A dog who cringes and moves away from you should never be followed so you can pet them.
This funny video drives the point home:
Do you have a fearful dog or dog that could benefit from the yellow ribbon for other reasons?

Rocky & Sarah's Travel Diary
Ottawa, Canada and Mt. Tremblant Quebec
Ottawa is the capital of Canada and the 4th largest city in the country. The city has a bustling technology sector that complements the public service industry that for so many years was the only sherrif in town. The Ottawa Region, covering an area 4,662 square kilometres (1,800 square miles) in size, is unique in its history, geography and lifestyle. It offers a wide variety of urban attractions: many of Canada's best museums and cultural facilities, as well as the Parliament Buildings and other historical structures and major institutions, are located in the Capital area. At the same time, the Ottawa Region lies within minutes of golfing, fishing, hiking, skiing, and many other outdoor adventures and wilderness activities. Three rivers (the Ottawa, the Rideau and the Gatineau), hundreds of lakes, the historic Rideau Canal for boating and skating, green spaces, and bicycle paths provide ample natural amenities within the Capital area. Ottawa also lies on the Ontario border with the province of Quebec, and has a sister city across the river in Hull. Both French and English are widely spoken. It is approximately 200 km from Montréal and 400 km from Toronto, Canada's two largest cities.
Tremblant has been rated the number one eastern resort in North America for a number of years running. Ski facilities without equal steps from a world class slopeside pedestrian village. With the 5th high speed quad installed last year opening up the new Versant Soleil area, Tremblant now offers an extensive variety of ski terrain on 4 mountain faces. Winter activities include skiing, skating, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, sleigh rides while in the summer you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, fishing, sailing, golf, tennis, rafting, etc. Check out the Tremblant site for more info.
Ottawa Cultural StuffOttawa is one of our favourite cities on the planet. We cannot really explain why, but it might have to do with the juxtaposition of modern and historic archtecture, green spaces, culture and nightlife. Of course, the down side is that it is downright freezing in the winter. Working in the city and visiting the city have also given us two varying opinions of how it works. Add in two universities, the National Gallery of Canada, the Museum of Civilization (free admission on Thursdays) and the Casino in Hull, and you've got a heck of a potentially exciting place.
Click here to see what it's like on Parliament Hill right now!
We spent a weekend in Ottawa before heading to Mt. Tremblant for a week ski vacation in February 2001. We both had a really fun time and can't wait to do it again. Considering we moved here, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Ottawa Information Links
The Ottawa Citizen Online - The leading newspaper that gives you local and national news, as well as movie listing, etc. etc.
Public transit in Ottawa is run by OC Transpo. OC Transpo provides transit service to the communities of Ottawa, Nepean, Vanier, Rockcliffe, Gloucester, Kanata, and Cumberland.
VIA Rail is a convenient way to get between major Canadian cities without having to shell out big bucks for an airplane ticket (if you have the time). A trip from Toronto to Ottawa takes approximately 4 hours and costs about $120 return. If you purchase 2 weeks in advance you receive a discount. There are also a number of intercity buses that serve Ottawa. But we highly recommend the train if possible.
Budget Accomodation
Tour Ottawa has a handy search utility for finding accomodation. There are 2 hostels in Ottawa - The Backpacker Hostel and an HI hostel. There are also a number of upscale hotels right downtown. The Chateau Laurier is probably one of the best known, but I have yet to have the opportunity to stay there. Funnily enough, during our trip in February, we stayed at the Westin for free, due in large part to Sarah's work-accumulated points. It was a pretty snazzy hotel room, with this view of Parliament Hill and alongside the Rideau Canal.
Stuff to Do
Are you in for some real competition? Then check out the The National Capital Marathon. You can participate in 5km, 10km, halfs, and full marathons, as well as in-line skating of various distances.
That not good enough for you? Then get a team together and join in the world's biggest beach volleyball tournament, The Hope Volleyball Beachfest.
For those that want something less stressful, there's always the Alcatel Sunday Bike Days, where some of the main parkways are closed to vehicular traffic in the morning so that you can jog, skate, ride or whatever along some very scenic routes.
