Abuse isn't just about bruises. Not all forms of abuse leave bruises where we can see them,Domestic Violence Speech Intro in South Africa . Although physical abuse is terrifying and needs to be addressed immediately there are other forms of abuse that can cause significant damage. One type of abuse that is very difficult for outsiders to detect is financial abuse. Marriage should be a partnership but when one spouse completely dominates the finances to the point that the other spouse has no control and no options financial abuse may be occurring.
What Are Signs of Potential Financial Abuse?
Every married couple handles their finances differently. In some cases one spouse handles the majority of the finances. They manage the accounts, pay the bills and deal with creditors. That does not by itself equal financial abuse.
Financial abuse occurs when one spouse is treated like an irresponsible child and Domestic Violence Effects . They are cut off from funds and their knowledge about the couple's finances is severely limited. Some signs of financial abuse include:
•Strict Allowances. This isn't an amount that the spouses have agreed to limit themselves to but is instead a set amount that is grudgingly handed out from one spouse to the other and is all that will be given.
Documents, documents, documents. Written evidence is incredibly strong and can range from credit card bills showing that there is a credit card but that you aren't named on it to emails from your spouse that show the financial abuse.
Other witnesses can be incredibly powerful on your behalf. Financial abuse is hard for people outside the relationship to detect. So when someone credible comes in and tells the judge that it is happening and they can see it the judge will listen and Domestic Violence Essay Conclusion .
Domestic Violence Speech Intro in South Africa ?
1. Sticks and stones won't break my bones" - and words won't leave any measurable physical damage, but they will cause progressive, long-term harm. Never underestimate the power of words: words are used to brainwash.
Being told you are "stupid", "ugly", "lazy" or "worthless" is never acceptable. The first times you hear it, it will hurt, naturally. In time you "may get used to" hearing it from a partner. That's when you start to internalise and believe it. When that happens you are doing the other person's work of putting you down for them. This is why your feelings of self-worth suffer increasingly over time.
The good news is that just as words have been used to bring you down, you can learn to harness the power of words to build you up and restore your confidence and belief in yourself.
2. You are always told that it's your fault. Somehow, whatever happens, however it starts, the ultimate blame is always yours. Notice that we are talking ultimate blame here. The blaming partner will always tell you that their behaviour was caused by what you said or did. In fact, their argument runs along the lines that you can't possibly blame them for anything, because if you hadn't said what you said, or done what you did it would never have happened.
3. You're more inclined to believe your partner than you are to believe yourself. Have you ever reeled with a sense of hurt and injustice, or seethed with anger at the way you've been treated? Have you found yourself asking: "Is it reasonable to feel like this?" "Am I misinterpreting things?" "Have I got it wrong?"
If this is you, what it means is that you have become so brainwashed you've stopped trusting in your own judgement. Your mind keeps throwing up the observations and questions because, deep down, you know that what is happening is utterly wrong. But right now you can't feel the strength of your own convictions.
4. You need your partner to acknowledge your feelings. Have you ever felt desperate to make your partner hear what you are saying and apologise for the hurtful things they've said? Have you ever felt that only they can heal the pain they've caused?
Does your need for them to validate your feelings keep you hooked into the relationship?
When a partner constantly denies or refuses to listen to your feelings, that is, unquestionably, mental abuse.
5. Your partner blows hot and cold. He can be very loving but is often highly critical of you. He may tell you how much he loves you, yet he is short on care or consideration towards you. In fact, some of the time, maybe even a lot of the time, he treats you as if you were someone he truly dislikes.
You do everything you can to make him happy, but it's never good enough. You're more like the pet dog in the relationship than you are the equal partner. Your constant efforts to get his attention and please him meet with limited success. Sometimes he'll be charmed, often he's dismissive.
If you find yourself puzzling about how your partner can treat you that way, it is because you are trying to live in a love-based relationship, when in reality you are living in a control-based relationship. The mental abuser struggles with his own feelings of worthlessness and uses his relationship to create a feeling of personal power, at his partner's expense.
6. You feel as if you are constantly walking on eggshells. There is a real degree of fear in the relationship. You have come to dread his outbursts, the hurtful things that he will find to say to you. (Maybe the same anxiety and need to please spill over into your other relationships also.)
Fear is not part of a loving relationship, but it is a vital part of a mentally abusive relationship. It enables the abuser to maintain control over you.
7. You can heal. Mentally abusive relationships cause enormous emotional damage to the loving partner who tries, against all odds, to hold the relationship together and, ultimately, can't do it, because her partner is working against her.
Whether you are currently in a mentally abusive relationship, have left one recently, or years later are still struggling with the anxieties and low self-worth and lack of confidence caused by mental abuse, it is never too late to heal.
But you do need to work with a person or a programme specifically geared to mental abuse recovery.
Women who have suffered mental abuse expect radical change of themselves, and they expect it right away. This is why they often struggle and, not uncommonly, take up with another abusive partner.
Mental abuse recovery is a gradual process. Low self-worth and limiting beliefs about what kind of future the abuse sufferer can ever hope for are the blocks that can stop women from moving on. But they are blocks that you can clear very effectively. Just as language was once used to harm you, you can now learn how language can heal you. You can overcome past mental abuse and keep yourself safe from it in the future. You can also learn to feel strong, believe in yourself and create the life and the relationships you truly want.
"The Woman You Want To Be" is a unique workbook designed to accompany you on a year long journey into emotional health and happiness.

Abuse and Its Effects on Self-Esteem and Positive Identity
Domestic Violence charges are treated differently than most other criminal cases because from the outset of the charge, not the conviction, it is very likely that you will have your home and your children taken from you. We are supposed to have a criminal system where you are innocent until proven guilty but as you will discover that is not the case with Domestic Violence charges. This survival guide will help explain the system you're up against and how to get through it.
- Do not plead guilty at Arraignment. Arraignment is the first formal court appearance in a criminal case. During this hearing, you will be formally notified of the criminal charge against you and given the opportunity to plead guilty or not guilty. DO NOT PLEAD GUILTY! This is obvious in cases where you do not believe you've done anything wrong but is also true in cases where you do think you've done something wrong. There is no benefit in pleading guilty up front but there may be costs in doing so.
Some inexperienced people mistakenly believe that if they plead guilty at arraignment, they will get a lighter sentence than if they plead guilty later. This is incorrect. The reverse is much more common; you will likely get sentenced harder if you plead guilty up front.
If you decide to plead guilty later, the Judge will not use the fact that you pled not guilty initially against you. By pleading not guilty at Arraignment, what you are really saying to the Judge is that you want a chance to see what evidence the Prosecutor has and if you feel it is sufficient to prove your guilt then you want a chance to negotiate with the Prosecutor for a better outcome.
- Pre-Trial No Contact Orders. In most criminal cases, a Judge will issue an order directing the Defendant not have any contact with the alleged victim. In Domestic Violence cases, that order can be extended to the victim's home, place of work, and children. These orders are issued before there is a finding of guilt and can render a Defendant homeless. If you work at the same place as your spouse then you might just find yourself out of a job too. Whether or not the children were involved with the incident, you can be prohibited from seeing them.
Stipulated Orders of Continuance / Pre-Trial Diversion Agreements
These are contracts, nothing more. You make an agreement with the Prosecutor's Office to do (and not do) certain things, like entering a Domestic Violence Treatment Program and stay out of trouble. If you comply with the contract, the case is dismissed.
Reduced Charge
It is often possible to get a Domestic Violence charge re-filed as a different, less serious, charge. The factors involved are: the facts of the current case, the Defendant's criminal history, and the position of the alleged victim. Examples of reduced charges are: Disorderly Conduct or Simple Assault without the DV tag.
- Only the State can bring criminal charges. With any criminal charge, including Domestic Violence, only the State can bring the charge - not the alleged victim in your case. This means that even if the person labeled "victim" wants the No Contact Order or the entire case to simply go away, they don't have the power to dismiss it; only the Prosecutor does
- Joint Bank Accounts. Be aware that some Victims Advocates are advising alleged victims to drain joint bank accounts. This advice leaves Defendants in the impossible position of becoming suddenly homeless due to the no contact order and penniless.
- Gun Rights. Conviction for a crime labeled Domestic Violence will forfeit your rights to own or possess firearm for the rest of your life. This is true even in cases where no gun was used, threatened, mentioned or even owned by the defendant.
Because of the nature of Domestic Violence charges, you need to find an attorney that understands the complexity of these charges and what you can do about them. If you have questions specific to your case, please give me a call. I do not charge money for an initial consultation and I can answer many questions over the phone or via email.

There is an inn, a merry old inn
beneath an old grey hill,
And there they brew a beer so brown
That the Man in the Moon himself came down
one night to drink his fill.
In these darkening days, when the shadow from the East seems to stretch to touch the lives of all, be they Men, Elves, Hobbits or Dwarves, it is important to remember the strength that can be found in company, and the hope that comes of friendship and laughter.
To this end, the Imladris Revelries hope to unite all members of the Free Peoples with a weekly gathering of song and dance, drinks and story-telling, but also the exchange of news about the rising threat in the East and the forging of alliances and friendships to counter this threat.
You are cordially invited to attend the first such gathering hosted by Ellonur in the Bird and Baby Inn in Michel Delving, The Shire, on Saturday, July 20, at 6pm EST/servertime.
Carlo Blagrove will reserve a few kegs of his finest ales for us, and everyone who feels so inclined is encouraged to share their music, tales, poetry or riddles - or, of course, simply to enjoy the company!
OOC information:
The Imladris Revelries are a weekly RP gathering open to all interested RPers of this server. Hosts and places will switch weekly (and will be announced in this thread), and we strive to keep our group of volunteers and organizers as diverse as possible, with representatives from larger and smaller RP kins, RPers from kins that do not RP, as well as RPers without kin.
The Imladris Revelries want to bring together the RPers of this server in a friendly atmosphere that will offer something for everyone. There will be the chance for light, casual RP for characters who simply want to enjoy drinks, dance and good company; a welcoming setting for those who would like to entertain with music, tales or poetry; and of course it is a chance to share news of war and adventure and seek allies or companions for more involved RP plots!

So the year started with very conservative playcalling. RW was only slinging it when we needed it in the last 2 minutes. Then the game opened up a bit and the long ball was part of the game - SF game, NE game etc. Then came the Chicago game and suddenly the Read-option was the go to play. It works great and we have three straight wins (I know AZ game wasn't won by offense but only those of us that saw the game knows that).
So what is the next step? I haven't really seen much of the read option plus sling it game approach. There was a little bit of that in the Chicago game with some 20 yard passes but not much of the 40 yard passing approach that was used to win the NE game.
Do we think that is going to be added?
Now to the 49ers game perspective on this. NE ran up 28 straight points when they went no-huddle. This wasn't the Peyton Manning style of no-huddle where everyone gets to the line and then for the next 25 second Manning stands there and changes things the way he wants it. This was Oregon style no-huddle. This was play after play quickly put together keep the defense on the field get them tired.
Yesterday a thread was made about SF playing a lot of snaps in NE and they should be a bit tired. So if we start out with read option to keep drives going and just churn away small yards but keep moving the chains we should get the number of snaps up on SF defense. Then in the second half as they start getting tired - pedal to the metal. No-huddle speed offense. Mix read option with deep downfield passes then I simply don't think the 49ers will have enough in the tank to keep up.

Gustaf Larson's Sons
At a time in the 1800's when patronymic names were changing, that is when our brothers decided to emigrate to America in hopes of a better life. Johan Gustafsson was born in 1864 to Gustaf Larson and Klara Hansdotter on the small farmstead of Lugarp, Floby Parish, Skaraborgs Lan, VasterGotland, Sweden. His brother Frederick soon followed in 1867 and was born in the same location.
Johan entered military service in Sweden and his name was then changed to Johan Hellgren. He was known for the rest of his life by the last name of Hellgren. Johan was married to Maria Christina Anderson in 1886 while he was still in military service. Johan and Christina left their homeland, bound for the eastern shores of the United States soon after their marriage and settled in the Chicago, Illinois area. Upon reaching the American shores, Johan again changed his name to the more American style of John Hellgren. They raised their family in Chicago, had two sons who served in WWI, one giving his life for the newly adopted country of his parents. John and Christina also had two daughters and another son. The Hellgrens' lived out their life in the Chicago area and both died there. They are buried in Graceland Cemetery, Chicago.
Frederick Albert Gustafsson became known as Fred A. Larson and that is the name which has carried down within our family. Great Grandpa Fred also emigrated to America upon the urging of his brother, John Hellgren. Fred arrived in the United States in 1888 as did his future bride, Hilma Wilhelmina Anderson. "Minnie" was a sister to Christina who had earlier married John before leaving Sweden. Fred Larson and Minnie were married in 1891in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. They spent a short time around Chicago and then began to move westward. Some time was spent in Oklahoma and their final destination was Wyoming, the state in which our family has its roots through Fred and "Minnie". The Larsons' are both buried in the Wheatland Cemetery, Wheatland, Wyoming...a world away from their homeland of Floby Parish, Skaraborgs Lan, Sweden.
Though Fred and John lived miles apart, carried different surnames, and seldom saw one another over the years, they were still brothers and helped to build the strong base of our family. Today we still research them both and will keep working to put faces on their ancestors and ours!

Two Gracious Ladies!
Today starts a new project here at "Those Old Memories" to showcase some of the wonderful old photographs in my personal collection. As many of my readers may already know, I collect old photographs by the thousands. Family is at the forefront of that collection but it includes many more that I hope will be of interest to my readers. Please join me on Fridays for a walk through history with the faces and places of the past. I will also continue to add stories and memories as my regular feature.
On the left is Stella Maud Hopkins, my husbands Grandaunt. Stella was born 28 Jan 1901, Foard County, Texas and died 1 Oct 1997 in Riverton, Fremont County, Wyoming. Stella married Frank D. Ellermeier in Scottsbluff, Nebraska and to this marriage were born two children.
Amy Vandergriff, on the right, a distant cousin, was born 6 Nov 1896 in Texas and died 21 Feb 1992 in Texas. Amy became a chiropractor, according to letters she wrote to our Grandmother.
I love the contrast of the light and dark dresses in this photo and of course the large wide brimmed hats!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Swallowing a daily multivitamin can reduce the risk of cancer slightly in middle-aged and older men and appears to have no dangerous side-effects, according to the first large-scale, randomized study on the subject.
The protective effect of the daily pill was described as "modest" by the trial investigators who emphasized that the primary use of vitamins was to prevent nutritional deficiencies. The findings were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and presented on Wednesday at a meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research in Anaheim, California."This is indeed a landmark study," said Cory Abate-Shen, a professor of urological oncology at Columbia University Medical Center who was not involved in the trial. "It suggests that a balanced multivitamin approach is probably more beneficial than increasing to high levels any one vitamin."
About half of U.S. adults take at least one daily dietary supplement - the most popular being a multivitamin, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.The U.S. Physicians Health Study II included more than 14,600 male doctors aged 50 and older and spanned more than 10 years. Participants were randomly assigned to a multivitamin - Pfizer Inc's Centrum Silver - or a placebo. The research was sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.Several previous studies, many relying on self-reported use of specific vitamins or supplements, have generated mixed results in terms of cancer outcomes.
"There have been some other trials that have tested combinations, often at high doses, of certain vitamins and minerals," said Howard Sesso, one of the study's authors and an associate epidemiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "Our trial took a very commonly used multivitamin that has basically low levels of all the different essential vitamins and minerals."The findings suggest that the biggest health benefit may come from a broad combination of dietary supplements, he said. EFFECT IS GREATER FOR NON-PROSTATE CANCERS
Last year, the questionnaire-based Iowa Women's Health Study found that older women who take multivitamins have slightly increased death rates compared to those who don't.A study examining whether vitamin E and selenium could reduce the risk of prostate cancer was stopped prematurely in 2008 after men taking 400 international units (IU) of the vitamin showed an increased risk of developing the cancer. Over-the-counter multivitamins typically contain 15 to 25 IU of vitamin E.
The newly-released Physicians Health Study showed an 8 percent reduction in total cancer occurrence for participants taking a multivitamin, but no benefit was seen for rates of prostate cancer, the most common cancer seen among the participants in the study.But the absolute risk reduction was small. Out of 1,000 men taking daily vitamins, 17 developed cancer each year, the researchers found, compared to 18.3 in the placebo group. That means some 770 men would need to take the supplements daily to stave off one cancer per year.
Excluding prostate cancer, researchers found about a 12 percent reduction in overall cancer occurrence and said the protective effect seemed to be greater in people who had previously battled cancer.They did not see a statistically reliable reduction in the risk of dying from cancer, however.Men taking multivitamins were also slightly more likely to get skin rashes and nose bleeds, but less likely to have small amounts of blood in the urine.Researchers said they planned to continue to follow the study group to monitor the effect of vitamin intake over time, and said additional studies would be needed to see if there were similar benefits for women or younger men.
"It doesn't seem like there is any particular risk associated with taking a vitamin and there might be a small benefit," said Dr. David Weinberg, chief of the department of medicine at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. He was not involved in the study.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) gives students a chance to spend time reading independently. Different schools approach SSR in different ways. While some may require language arts students to read quietly for a brief interval once a week, others have instituted programs like DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) in which everyone in the entire school reads for a set period every day. In some classrooms, all students read the same text; in others, individuals choose from a class library or bring outside reading.
When followed up with small literature-circle discussions, journal writing, or a whole-class discussion, SSR can help build a foundation for reader-response methods. It gives students private time to reflect and interact with the text, and to make meaning of what they're reading, without having to do so at someone else's pace. Students can then discuss what they've read with others in the class, sharing their reactions and ideas. Teachers might find it helpful to pose general questions about students' readings (e.g., What are the qualities of a hero or heroine? How does the author let you know when something happens?) in order to prompt further discussion and enhance understanding. With continued use, SSR builds the kind of self-motivated reading habits that are necessary for reader response.
Teachers interested in instituting SSR programs should provide a few tools:
It has been shown that students who engage in SSR regularly read more, enjoy reading more, and read a greater variety of texts, both in and out of school. Allowing time for reading as part of the daily lesson highlights the importance of silent engagement with texts, and it encourages students to see this as a natural and even pleasurable process. In general, SSR attempts to build the habits of a lifelong learner by modeling reading behavior.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - As the last home meet of the year, the Yale Springtime Invitational could almost have been the summertime invitational. The Bulldogs were greeted with a sunny, 80-degrees day to host a large crowd of competitors at the Cuyler-Dwyer complex. Many nearby schools such as New Haven, Southern Connecticut, Quinnipiac and Sacred Heart came to compete in the many heats for each event during the long day.
It was the last meet at Yale for the seniors, many of whom ran distances they do not normally compete in, and the last meet of the season for the runners who are not competing at the Heptagonal Championships in two weeks.
In field events sophomore Eve King was part of a three-way tie for second place in the high jump, with a jump of 1.60 meters. Junior Bailey Carroll came in second in the pole vault with 3.20 meters.
It was a good day for freshmen sprinters: Freshmen Marieme Mbaye and Alexa Monti placed third and fourth, respectively, in the 100-meter dash, in times of 12.22 and 12.32. Freshman Gabriella Kelly had a good second-place finish in the 400-meter dash, in 57.45, and sophomore Jennifer Parker came in fifth in 58.29.
In the 1,500-meter run sophomore Celia Stockwell came in third in 4:48.57.
The 4x100-meter relay team finished fourth in 47.98 seconds, even better than its 49.08 at Penn on Thursday.
The seniors who were competing for the last time at Yale made it a strong - and in some cases, unusual - finish. Senior captain Jennifer Lin won the 400-meter hurdles by a long shot for her last time on Yale's track, clocking in at 1:03.61. Senior Bevin Peters ended up in fifth place in 2:18.09 in the 800-meter run, an event she has not run for more than two years.
Yale's 4x400-meter relay team was unconventional today: the athletes who competed at Penn Relays in the past few days were resting, so Yale's usual sprinters and middle distance runners who handle the were not competing. Instead, the team was composed of four senior distance runners: Kathryn Schlechser, 3,000-meter steeplechase competitor Peters, cross country captain Kelli Buck, and 10,000-meter runner Claire Leatherwood. The team still came in third place, in 4:13.34 - slower than Yale's usual, but very impressive for four athletes who usually run at least four times as far.
For the Bulldogs, Sunday was either the last home meet of a four-year career, the last meet of the season or the last meet before running against the other Ivy League schools at the Heptagonal Championships hosted by Penn on May 9 and 10. After Heps, those few who have qualified will continue to ECAC Championships and NCAA Regional Championships.

The Thanksgiving holiday week is traditionally one of the busiest traffic weeks of the year, and, unfortunately, one of the most dangerous for travelers.
The Thanksgiving holiday week is traditionally one of the busiest traffic weeks of the year, and, unfortunately, one of the most dangerous for travelers.
University of Alabama researchers have found that more parties, more vehicles on the road at night, more drivers on roads they are less familiar with and more tired and distracted drivers have led to an increase in fatal crashes in recent years.
"With substantially increased traffic volume over a short period, this combination is a recipe for potential disaster," said Allen Parrish, the director of UA's Center for Advanced Public Safety, which conducted the study.
Law enforcement officers across the state will be conducting extra patrols and will be on the lookout for people who aren't wearing their seat belts.
"The Northport Police Department will be out. We'll have extra officers on the street, we'll be enforcing all traffic laws, concentrating on seat belt and child restraint violations," NPD Sgt. Heath Smitherman said at a news conference held by West Alabama Community Traffic Safety on Friday morning.
Director Maxie Thomas said that seat belt use greatly lowers the chance that someone will die in a crash.
During the 2010 Thanksgiving holiday period between Wednesday and Sunday, 337 vehicle occupants were killed in crashes across the country. Of those, 55 percent weren't wearing a seat belt.
In Alabama last year, nine people were killed between Wednesday and Sunday. One was a motorcycle occupant and of the remaining eight, only two were wearing seat belts, said Alabama State Trooper Sgt. Frank Hennigan. Of the nine, four were alcohol-related, he said.
"We'd like everyone to slow down, to buckle up and avoid drinking and driving," he said. "We'd also like to promote pedestrian safety and urge people to be cautious while walking along roadways, particularly when it's dark. Watch your speed, don't drink and drive and watch your following distance. We want this to be a safe holiday period for all."
Tuscaloosa Police Sgt. Brent Blankley said that the department will be out in "full force."
"We'll be writing every citation we possibly can for not wearing a seat belt or having child restraint seats," he said. "When officers ask people that they pull over why they're not wearing a seat belt, one of the biggest things we hear is 'I'm just going down the road' or 'I don't want to be trapped in a vehicle.' It's no secret that seat belts save lives. However, so many people still do not wear them."
The CAPS researchers at UA found that, nationwide, there was an average of 748 traffic fatalities each week during a six-year period. That increased by 50 during Thanksgiving week. In Alabama, 16 crashes occurred in an average week in 2011. Thanksgiving weeks had an average of 17.
Speed was the most common factor in the fatal crashes, the researchers found. More crashes occurred in rural areas, and during nighttime or early morning hours. Thanksgiving Day was the day when fewer travelers were on the road.
AAA projects that 43.6 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home during the holiday weekend, a slight increase of 0.7 percent over the 43.3 million people who traveled last year. The increase marks the fourth consecutive year of growing holiday travelers since 2008, when Thanksgiving travel fell by 25 percent. The Thanksgiving holiday travel period is defined as Wednesday, Nov. 21 to Sunday, Nov. 25.
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is expected to be the busiest travel day, according to AAA.

Gifts at Work. Thanks to $300,000 from Angus and Margaret Wurtele and gifts from 22 other donors for bog renovation. The aging walkway through the bog was replaced with a sturdy, low-maintenance boardwalk.
The Bog Area
Green Heron Pond is one of the southern most glacial 'potholes' - an area where a large chunk of glacial ice remained (probably under the ground surface for many years) before it finally melted. A portion of the pond contains a small bog. The unusual aspect of this particular bog (a bog is a wetland type that accumulates acidic peat, a deposit of dead plant material) is that it still harbors living (peat) moss. Sphagnum needs a low pH to grow and the pH of soils on the Arboretum grounds is 7.5-8.0 (sphagnum needs 5.0 or under). How it has survived for thousands of years is one of life's perplexing questions!
First created over 40 years ago, the trail around Green Heron Pond rapidly became a well-loved favorite for generations of Arboretum visitors. The pond, its adjacent marsh and bog represent three naturally occurring ecosystems in Minnesota that are part of the state's geologic and landscape heritage. Just a half-mile long, the bog trail passes through the most diverse ecotypes of any Arboretum hike. Oak woods, maple woods and the mosaic of intermingled wetlands along the boardwalk offer rich rewards for birders, school groups and families. In fact, it's an "off the beaten track" nature experience that's easily accessible to the gardens and parking.
The boardwalk was closed for renovation in 2009. Now it's back in service and better than ever with 100 new pilings - some to a depth of 60 feet. New interpretive signs will tell the stories of its green heron namesake and other wild residents, the lady's slipper orchids at the boardwalk entry and the tamarack bog, shrub swamp and cattail marsh that line the way. In the middle of this remnant glacial bog, it was fascinating to discover trees actually growing on a 10-12-ft thick mat of old roots, with open water beneath them. Visitors can enjoy the bog through the seasons from spring's yellow marsh marigolds to the golden tamaracks in fall.

Actor Josh Hopkins is dating "Dancing with the Stars" favorite Cheryl Burke, according to a new report.
The "Cougar Town" star has reportedly been seeing the professional dancer since January.
A source tells People.com, "They have been seeing each other since around New Year's. They are having fun. He's a really solid guy.
"(They) met in social circles because they both were on ABC (network) shows. They are enjoying each other's company. They make a nice couple."
Hopkins was previously linked to his co-star Courtney Cox and Burke dated Canadian ice hockey star Joffrey Lupul in 2012, according to Us Weekly magazine.

The love for students that Herbert H. Reynolds possessed was evidenced in his inaugural address when he stated that students will remain the focal point of all Baylor programs. A former Baylor student himself, along with his wife and three children, Reynolds began his long association with the University in March 1956 when the U.S. Air Force assigned him as an assistant professor of air science.
Over the next five years, he fulfilled those job requirements while earning Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in experimental and clinical psychology. He had previously received a B.S. from Trinity University. Reynolds retired from military service as a Lieutenant Colonel after having served as Deputy Commander and Director of Research for the Aeromedical Research Laboratory that was involved with NASAs Project Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, among other assignments. He returned to Baylor in 1968 as executive vice president, the position from which he was elevated to the presidential post in 1981.
In the first five years of his administration, the significant achievements in the life and operation of the University was a reflection of the full reliance he placed in God and in the partnership he established with his fellow workers. Reynolds created a new and innovative university governance system which involved faculty, staff, and students. He enhanced personnel benefits to an amount equal to about 25% of an individuals salary. Along with the construction of various facilities, he created new academic and administrative functions and initiated numerous special academic programs. In addition, he instituted a myriad of educational and service opportunities for students.
During the second five years of Reynolds service, the evidence of the quality of his leadership was even more dramatic, particularly enriching the student body with the admission of 1,879 National Merit Scholars and the addition of programs to provide outlets and resources for the special interests of students. Several major facilities were also constructed from 1986 to 1991, with the highlight being the 10,000-seat domed Ferrell Special Events Center which was opened by President Ronald Reagan in the fall of 1988.
During his final years as president, Reynolds focused on strengthening the financial structure of the institution as he led in increasing endowment and scholarships while continuing to add much needed facilities.
Reynolds firmly believed that it was possible for a university wholly committed to Christ to be the best in learning and the best in living. For him that was the abiding challenge and opportunity that is uniquely Baylors.
A cousin of Baylor president W. R. White, Herbert Hal Reynolds was born March 20, 1930, in Frankston, Texas, to AvaNell and Herbert Joseph Reynolds. He married Joy Copeland in 1950. The couple had three childrenKevin, Kent, and Rhondaand seven grandchildren. He died unexpectedly on May 25, 2007.

but he's my raspberry and I'd gladly fight to the death to defend him from the casual denigration he faces most days.
54 years old, 6'2″, 14 stone, self-employed builder of 20 years. Employer of men. Hard worker. Moderate drinker and smoker. Hobbies: fishing, live music, quizzing, sailing; he owned two boats. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of music and literature, but was also an outdoors type, full of energy and the joy of living. In the fashion of an English 'gentleman' he insisted on walking on the outside of the pavement to protect me from any passing ne'er-do-wells or rapscallions. Quaint, but sometimes irritating to a feisty woman. I never dreamed that I would miss it.
And then, on 23rd September 2011, on an ordinary evening in the local pub, on our ordinary walk home, mid-sentence, 'I feel crap…', he fell flat on his face. I pulled him in to a sitting position and, because his speech was unaffected and his face was exactly the same, not drooping as the ads on the TV demonstrated, we concluded that his drink had somehow been spiked. Only one thing, he couldn't walk. At all.
To cut a long story short we eventually got home; after 4 1/2 hours. He thought he would sleep it off and be fine for work the next day. He wasn't.
It was actually a cerebral stroke and he has since been confined to a wheelchair. He considers himself lucky, because he still has a pulse. Sometimes, God forgive me, his relentless cheerfulness and optimism gets me down. However, the facts bear him out – we were told by the consultants that 65% of victims die on the spot and of the surviving 35%, tragically, 20% are 'locked-in'.
So, why does he have to be treated as though he's a side-show in the circus by total strangers that we meet in our everyday life. So why, when we arrived at A & E, was the first thing they did, was breathalyse him? Why does he have to be told, 'F**k off, crip!' if he asks youths to excuse him so he can pass them on a street. Why do people ask me how he is, looking straight over the top of his chair and when he's told them they come straight back to me with, 'No, we mean really.'
I got so sick of it. True, we'd only been together 10 months before his stroke, but why did people think I would dump him? I wasn't brave, as they kept telling me, he was the brave one. How did he know I wasn't standing by him out of pity? After 12 weeks in hospital, he moved in with me and last year we married. No big deal. If you love the boy before the stroke, you love him afterwards 😀 I can't pretend it's been plain sailing; I'm a writer who hasn't been writing, but…I'm back!
