My Wife is Too
Depressed to Make Love
Chuck Snyder
co-chaplain for the Seattle Mariners
I just read your
column about a woman who is no longer 'in love' with her husband,
and I agree with you whole-heartedly. Love is a decision, a choice,
to do those things that enable your partner to feel loved.
That being said, I dearly love, and am 'in-love' with my wife.
However, there has been a problem of late. Her doctor has prescribed
her an anti-depressant medication, which has almost totally
suppressed her desire to make love. This has frustrated both of us
to no end, but that is not the entire problem. I suppose partly
because she has not been desirous of me, I have been noticing, and
have been feeling attracted to other women. Though I have struggled,
and still do, with some pornography, I am not unfaithful to my wife,
but my desires are distracting me. I'm not sure, but I feel as
though some of the women I see know what I am thinking, and
sometimes seem almost uncomfortable about it. I know the Bible says
to look at a woman with lust in your heart is the same thing, but I
am unable to control these desires which I can't fulfill with my
wife in her present condition. She has discussed the problem with
her doctor, but her doctor seems unwilling to change the medication.
She then decided to simply stop taking the medication, but now she
also suffers from the mood swings and outbursts, which was why she
was placed on the medication in the first place. She is much more
loving, but at the same time, much more angry as well. How can I
tame my own desires and remain true to my wife? How can I curb these
rampant thoughts from taking hold in my mind? I don't want these
thoughts and desires to ruin my marriage. Please help me!
for the note about your wife's medication affecting her desire to
make love, and your frustration, which is resulting from this. I
have no idea whether either one of you are born-again, true, sold
out, dedicated disciples of Jesus Christ, but the Bible is very
clear that we are to take care of the other person's sexual needs regardless
of whether we feel like it. If she is not a Christian, then she
could care less about what the Bible says, but if she is ... you
might share this with her.
man should give his wife all that is her right as a married woman,
and the wife should do the same for her husband: for a girl who
marries no longer has full right to her own body, for her husband
then has his rights to it, too; and in the same way the husband no
longer has full right to his own body, for it belongs also to his
wife. So do not refuse these rights to each other. The only
exception to this rule would be the agreement of both husband and
wife to refrain from the rights of marriage for a limited time, so
that they can give themselves more completely to prayer. Afterwards,
they should come together again so that Satan won't be able to tempt
them because of their lack of self-control. 1 Corinthians 7:3-5
didn't just jot down a few idle thoughts on the back of an envelope
or something. This must have meant a great deal to His concept of
marriage to include this idea. A wife is only serving herself when
she refuses her husband. I'll go another step ... she should
be the initiator once in awhile ... whether she feels like it or
not. Sex is a man's greatest need. Now, that absolutely blows
women away ... especially after marriage. Usually when a woman finds
out that our greatest need is sex, her first thought is usually of
some kind of animal. God gave men this intense desire and
interest to make sure the human race survives, and also to give a
married couple the highest ecstasy this life can offer. Sex was God's
idea. And He thought long and hard about whether to give Adam or Eve
the primary responsibility for this part of marriage. In God's
foreknowledge He realized that if He trusted Eve with this important
work, she never would have thought about it! The Bible would only
have one book in it, because the history of mankind would have been
written about Abraham, Isaac, Jaaccccob, and poof. The end of
the human race would have come quickly, because Eve had so many
other things to think about.
the other hand, Adam was focused and one-dimensional and expressed
his eagerness to take care of this critical part of God's plan for
mankind, and God in his foreknowledge knew he would do a good job.
Therefore when I speak to women's groups, I try to explain that when
their husbands want to go to bed a little early once in awhile, it
is not for himself. It's for the destiny of mankind,
the preservation of the race!! What a noble and
soul-stirring burden for man to carry. Every husband is interested
in being in strict obedience to his God as he carries out God's
mandate to preserve the human race from going down the drain because
of the woman being so busy. Are women always impressed with this
explanation? Two of them are. There is one woman living in Enid,
Okla., and one from Post Falls, Idaho. All the rest of the women
think I am only trying to make an excuse for their animal husbands.
is one of those areas of life where the man and women are not only
not on the same page, they aren't even reading the same book. The
problem comes within the framework of a monogamous marriage, where
most men are constantly thinking about physical sex. On the other
hand, most women rarely think about physical sex, except as the
frosting on the cake of a loving, caring marriage relationship, yet
the first thoughts of a man are about sex.
you need to do more about wooing her and making sure the
relationship is doing well in all the other areas other than sex.
Someone said that sex begins in the kitchen. For women, sex
begins with a relationship. For men sex is an event. We can have sex
on the roof, in a closet, on the front lawn, or on the Capitol
steps, like one man did. The first thoughts of a woman, however, are
usually about the relationship, and how she is being treated
in other areas of her marriage. Someone has said men make love to
feel good and women make love when they feel good. That means
the whole relationship has to be going well before the woman feels
like going to bed with her husband.
the man and wife have to unconditionally meet the other's needs at
times, regardless of feelings and situations. Sex is to be richly
enjoyed and is one of the key building blocks to the marriage
relationship. But when the woman is offended because her husband
wants to go to bed all the time, and the man is offended because his
wife is never enthusiastic or seems to be only going through the
motions and participating as a duty, or shows no interest or
creativity, then there are problems in River City.
not sure you can tell her all this without her thinking you don't
understand her situation, but I wanted you to have the big picture
of what God expects. As for what's happening in your mind, only you
can decide not to sin when you see other women. And if you
have God in your life, He will help you run from temptation
if you ask Him and mean it. You swore before God and His angels that
you would be faithful to your wife until death in sickness or
health, joy or sorrow, for richer or poorer, for better or worse.
This is some of the "worse" that has entered your
relationship, and you'll have to deal with it the best you can.
Sorry I don't have an easier answer, but try to stay focused on the
things your wife does right ... and approve and support and
comfort. I'm sure this is no fun for her either, but maybe with some
tender loving care, she will become more responsive. My latest book
is called The Way to a Woman's Heart, and I'd love to send
you a copy as my gift. I talk a lot about situations similar to the
one you are in. I would need a mailing address, P.O. box, business
address ... whichever you would be most comfortable with. Those are
some thoughts for consideration. Let me know if you want to talk
a complete list of books

I'm currently overwhelmed with the peace, joy, and blessings of obedience. I told a friend today, "I feel that if God sends one more blessing I will go crazy with JOY!"
In Deuteronomy 28:1-3 it states. "If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God: You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country." I wish I could say that I "fully obey", but honestly I still have areas in my life where I struggle. These are areas I'm working on and they remain me I'm a sinful human in need of a graceful God. However, 14 years ago I chose to obey Him in one area of my life...my marriage. God asked me to stay and I did.
Obedience is a hard walk. It is a path filled with little stones of irritations and big boulders of doubt and obstacles. There is a secret to walking the path of obedience....You have to know your God. I'm not just talking about your salvation knowledge. I'm talking about KNOWING Him: His character, His purpose, His strategies, His love, His ways, His discipline, His motives, and His power. THEN you understand the secret: the walk of obedience is about HIM, not you. The result is He uses your walk to show Himself to others. Again, It is about Him.
There are blessings for obedience, but those blessing are to show once again who He is. In the past five years Mark and I have had so many blessing in our relationship, which I know are the direct result of our obedience to Him. However, in the last four weeks the Lord has poured overwhelming blessings out on us. He has done more then we can ask or image. I'm not boasting to bring glory to myself or my husband, I'M BOASTING FOR WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE and TO GIVE HIM ALL THE GLORY!
"My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice." Psalm 34:2
"In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever." Psalm 44:8
"This is what the LORD says: 'Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,' declares the LORD." Jeremiah 9:23-25
The best blessing is to able to shout out what the Lord has done as you have walked the path of obedience. My friends trust me...take the road less travelled. It is full of wonder.

Increasing Your Visual Appeal With The Assistance Of
The lower section of the biceps and triceps can start to drop as a result of unwanted fat along with skin. Fortunately, men and women struggling with this issue have the means to fix this problem by means of arm lift surgery. This procedure really helps to enhance the underside of the arm between your shoulder and the elbow and is performed by Tampa plastic surgeons.
Within the plastic surgery in Tampa, the doctor minimizes any localized fat pouches which may have collected in the area, at the same time eliminating excess skin that's commenced to droop. In addition, he or she smooths as well as tightens the supportive tissue that provides the upper arm its form. There are numerous reasons why an individual may choose to undertake this surgery. Some individuals choose to do this as they've dropped excess weight and no longer appreciate the physical appearance of their upper arms. Other folks choose to undertake the arm lift surgery mainly because they no longer enjoy the way their own biceps and triceps appear when they grow older.
Others go through the surgical treatment since their genes have predisposed them to possess triceps that will sag not to mention droop. Regardless of exactly why a person wants to fix the issue, plastic surgery is generally the sole solution, since exercise is of no help. If you struggle with upper arms that are toneless or look slack because of excess body fat and even skin, contemplate plastic surgery face. Doing so permits you to possess arms you cannot wait to exhibit and will definitely make it easier to don shirts that have short sleeves not to mention tank tops once again. You are going to feel good once the surgery is performed. Talk to a plastic surgeon now to find out more about this treatment and how it could be of aid to you.

I had a great 41st birthday. There is no fanfare for 41 but it was a fun family day. First we went to Grand Park in downtown LA. I have been wanting to visit there for awhile so we put the check on that box-it's not too exciting but it was fun. After Grand Park we went to Grand Market and had barbecue for lunch-it was pretty good. This was followed by Santa pictures and Brooke getting her ears pierced then our traditional birthday evening at the Americana. Last but not least we decided to look at Christmas lights on our way home.

BFF Birthday Gift 2014
It all started with this:
I can vividly remember opening this outside the Glendale Hilton in December 2006. I haven't thought about this moment in years but oddly since reading the Rookie Smarts book which really emphasizes recapturing emotions and feelings from exciting times in the past I have begun to recall these times more often. I was so excited to receive this amazing Powersource Imagine from my new friend who had selected the perfect gift!
In between then and now there have been some pretty awesome gifts. Every year has been special and in two minutes I think I have recalled all of them in my head. This years was definitely the most entertaining!
22 gifts that are everything Kim Thomas or Kim Evans. Who knew, I was published already? Great job, Jane and thanks for being a Powersource!

Shredding Old Checks
What a bummer that I didn't think of this blog earlier in the process. Brooke and I shredded 100's of checks yesterday from the last 18 years. During the final minute I started getting entertained. Here are a few remember when's:
*we used to give siblings birthday gifts? Here is a check to Kevin for $25.00
*I used to write checks to the gift shop to get cash. This one was for $10.00.
*Housing was $585.00 a month
*Restaurants took checks
*Fedco existed
*Costco was Price Club

My Flocked Tree
I have wanted a flocked tree for years but David has never wanted one so we always end up with a traditional tree. This year I asked him if we could finally get our tree flocked and he said we should go for it. While it cost a little more and it was a little harder to hang the ornaments I think the tree is beautiful!
Getting Ash'ed (For My Birthday!)
I have posted about getting Ash'ed before but last night we broke records! Today, I suggested that a cap be set on the number of desserts to which I was quickly poo pooed-that won't happen. So last night when Ash asked for them to bring all the desserts and the waiter started to discourage him, Ash insisted that we wanted one of each. Now, in all fairness there were only 8 desserts on the menu but thats not what came out......yeah, we broke records. Favorites:
David and Laura: Butterscotch Pudding
Ash: Souffles
Kim: Probably the Butterscotch Pudding but the Baked Apple Pie was right behind
Early Birthday Dinner at Arroyo Chop House
Last night we went to an early dinner for my birthday. It was great evening that will include two more posts. Our steaks were great, company was even better, I got an amazing birthday present and we broke a record on getting Ash'ed. We had a great evening with these two!

Cousin Love
Driving from Orlando to Tampa Abbey and Brooke kept taking turns drawing on the notepad and telling each other how much they love the other one. Afterwards I found this note from Brooke to Abbey. So stinking cute.
My Awesome Dallas Layover
About two weeks before heading to Orlando I was on the phone chatting with Sara and decided to book an alternate flight home. This flight would give me a 4 hour stop in Dallas. PERFECT!
Last Thursday Brooke and I were able to spend a good 2.5 hours with Sara and Avery! While I wanted to hold her when she was 4 pounds all 10 pounds of her were still so perfect! I couldn't have been happier with our visit and Brooke was very good the entire time (she has the iPad and Netflix was going so keeping her busy wasn't that hard) xoxoxo Watsons!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I had a surgery to remove a kidney due to cancer on 7/9/10.During this surgery there was a clip pin left inside me.I was lied to by the surgeon&2 other Dr's that were called in to assist in an 2nd emergency 'exploratory' surgery,which they said must be done because they believed I had a bowel obstruction.After the 2nd surgery,they said there was nothing found.They released me saying all my symptoms were due to pneumonia!My symptoms were more like septic poisoning.I had a stomach swollen so bad it appeared as if I was 9 mths pregnant&ready to deliver,plus many other symptoms.There isnt enough room to lay this story out very well. But I have proof of all of this.I have records proving the item left inside&reports from the doc's that are VERY contradicting to one another.PLEASE,HELP ME!
You need to speak with a local medical malpractice attorney. On Avvo.com you can find a local lawyer using the site's Find a Lawyer search feature. This site is for asking legal questions about what to do next. Sometimes the answers are simple, like telling someone to file a form. In your situation, the answer is to speak with an attorney personally. Good luck.
This advice being provided in no way represents the formation of a lawyer client relationship. This is advice only based on limited information. The advice seeker should seek an in-person meeting with a qualified attorney to discuss his or her issue.Ask a similar question
Thank you for your response. There is only 1 problem, I have spoken with numerous attorney's locally. Unfortunately, for some reason, I always seem to get close to the same response from all of them...a letter saying, "We apologize, but at this time we can not accept your case. However, it does appear you have a very good case and we urge you to seek help with another attorney as soon as possible." I have not had very much luck with the local attorney's, for reasons unknown to me. And because my time, due to the laws, is running out! I literally only have a matter of days, I've recently reached out to the Senator and I plan to go to any/all media, politicians...whatever I have to do. I was hoping by posting on here that there may be someone out of state, that is licensed in TN also and willing to take my case. This case, if someone would just look at it close enough, it is an easy open/shut case. The doctors reports not only contradict themselves but each other as well. It's so easy to see all the lies and cover-ups, that even a junior high school kid can see through it all... It is an insult really, their pathetic attempt at trying to cover it up. I wouldn't even attempt this lawsuit, had the doctor been honest & upfront. But he wasn't, and now I have lifelong effects to live with & can't even be close to the mother I once was, and living, daily on heavy narcotics...which isn't much of a life. I need help, drastically & immediately. This would be a huge case, as it includes 3 doctors and the hospital itself. So, any attorney that decided to take this case on would get a huge pay-off! I can only hope the right one comes along and sees all of this and acts, swiftly. Again, thank you for your time & advice. Sincerely, Christina

If you are accurately reporting the facts, it doesn't seem like you should have difficulty getting an attorney to help you.Ask a similar question
I am being very truthful and accurate with all the reported facts, given the limited characters, it has proven difficult to place them all on this site however. I can even scan the proof and send them to you..or even make an appointment & bring them to you. Would you be willing to take this case? I truly don't understand why no one has taken it yet. Many have come close, but ultimately, I get the same letter I spoke of earlier. I've started thinking it may be something to do with politics.. but I realize that just me being desperate in finding a reason. But, if you look at my file, you will see, it is plain as day about the mistake they made and the weak attempts trying to cover it up, so many contradictions and flat out lies that are easily seen, repeatedly. If you are willing, I am game.. Sincerely, Christina Stephens
Unfortunately, I am not licensed to practice in your state, but I would ask the next attorney who rejects your case after reviewing it for the reasons. Usually, an attorney will comply with this reasonable request.

How can I Rearrange the Order of my Posts in my Loop?
In the loop is it possible to rearrange the order that my posts appear in?
Right now they are descending with my most recently posted topic at the top of the page. All of my posts are of events that my company is hosting and I would like them to be displayed chronologically in relation to when the event will be occurring.
I was not the one who created my website, and I don't know much about WP. I had a friend build the site for me, and he is under the impression that there is no way to fix this problem, and that the posts can only be displayed in the order that you publish them. Once they are published, you cant rearrange the order that the appear on the site.
Can anyone help?
- The topic 'How can I Rearrange the Order of my Posts in my Loop?' is closed to new replies.

Beach Front, Ocean Front with Unobstructed Views. 7 Beds, 5 1/2 Baths. Gorgeous
- Parking
- Wifi
The Neskowin House is your perfect Oregon beach rental combining the peace and quiet of the Neskowin Village with the nearby services and amenities of Lincoln City.
Our home has 7 full bedrooms. 5 1/2 baths. Featuring 3 separate master bedrooms and 4 other bedrooms with Jack and Jill style bathrooms.
A beautiful fully stocked gourmet kitchen complete with a commercial stove, large fridge, and beautiful direct beach views.
Views from this home are amazing and we mean the views that you sit on your bed, the couch, or dinning room table and enjoy (not stand on your toes and peak out a window). We have direct access to the beach right in front of the home.
To the north is nothing but open space and beach, to the south the great community of Neskowin, famous Proposal Rock, and the Cascade Head Nature Preserve.
We are 10 miles from all the services and attractions of Lincoln City, yet it feels a world apart. The streets of Neskowin are peaceful, quiet, we are adjacent to golf, hiking, and a great local restaurant and general store.
12 miles north is Pacific City and in between is Nestucca Bay and the Nestucca River, just waiting for you to explore by kayak, do some crabbing or clamming, or salmon and steelhead fishing. Or, better yet, perhaps, just read a book in one of our many chairs and couches that look out over the ocean. Perhaps explore the hiking trails of Cascade Head? Or walk the miles of beach directly in front on the home.
If you are planning to host an event with guests other than those staying at the house, you must fill out our event questionnaire first. Events are approved on a case by case basis, with additional fees as determined necessary.

Why am I doing this to myself? Well, I don't want to die, first of all. I don't want to be fat my whole life, and I'd like to be able to coach Max's tee-ball team in a couple years without having to catch my breath after every pitch. Yeah, that's it. But why does it have to hurt so much?
Ass, I command thee to stop hurting!! Thighs, stop being like that! You're fine, now just stop screaming at me. I took some Exedrin, now shut up and let it work.

if you guys want to win awards come to Singapore. Too bad to people who arent so fortunate to win awards the easy way out. An award is an award no matter how you win it. TOO BAD guys!
Now that's really bold: Posting an idea that is supposed to be stolen from some juniors and STILL marking it as a JWT ad?
Where are the originators? Did you make any progress with your complaints?
I like this concept. it's very simple and thought-provoking.

Yes, it's a copied idea. Refer Ehibition section.
And this bloody copycat work has won a Gold in Cannes. This clearly shows the standards and integrity of Cannes.
Shame on them!
Amazing, this is my favorite lion.
I think it's a great continuation of their tigers or guns theme. You get to choose which one wins. It puts the choice in our hands and shows us what's at stake. I reallly like it.

|By M1O
|Part of the Errant Flame continuity.
- "If I can find the Avatar and train her in the ways of Airbending, the elders will have to recognize my skill."
- —yeah, okay, good luck with that, you'll need it
Amala is a highly skilled Airbender who believes in the betterment of self through rigorous training and discipline. While her fierce determination in procuring results and meeting challenges head-on is widely recognized by the Council of Elders, she has yet to be granted the rank of master, which frustrates her to no end. The main citation in this move is Amala's lack of spiritual understanding, and as she has little patience for such things, she may take a while longer to be seen as a master.
She's a huge killjoy who needed to be hugged more while growing up.
Early Life
Born from a mixed marriage, Amala had an unorthodox upbringing. Her father, an Airbender who had a similar experience, insisted that she not join the Air Temple unless she wanted to, but her mother said otherwise, saying that it was important for her to have a root in Nomad beliefs and practices. The two eventually decided to end their marriage mutually, and Amala followed her father in his traveling works. But, after a time and much contemplation, her father believed himself to be wrong and sent her to live in the Western Air Temple with his former wife, as well as old friend and head monk, Khan.
Amala believed that her father had sent her to the temple because she was not strong enough to follow him in his more dangerous work, and from that point forward she applied herself to whatever training she could in order to greatly improve her skills. And she did, at a remarkable pace that the elders had rarely seen before, and, even then, only in the accounts of Airbending Avatars and others with a large degree of bending aptitude. Unfortunately, by the time she had acquired the abilities necessary to be allowed out of the temple on her own, her father had died while trying to settle a dispute in the Earth Kingdom. Having failed to meet the objective she had set for all her life, Amala feels she has much to prove to everyone she meets. Because of her unusual circumstances, Amala did not get to choose a sky bison companion and, instead, befriended the unruly Karishma who the Nomads had almost given up in training.
Character & Abilities
Amala is a very disciplined individual and astute professional in all her tasks. However, she is known to be narrow-minded in her efforts and, although she is not explicitly untoward about receiving help from others, her demeanor makes it difficult for others to willingly offer their aid. She will often try to use the most direct means of solving a problem, which is a valid method but not always the one that will bring about the most benefit, and she has been remarked upon as being more like a Firebender in nature than an Airbender. She is also known to make snark remarks about things that she sees as crude or undeserving.
Contrary to the logical conclusion, Amala is on good terms with the other Nomads, and is amicable enough socially; it is her deep-seeded drive to push herself beyond the limits that creates the divides between Amala and others. When a task has been completed, Amala will want to continue working on it, and when it's done she'll want to make things even better the next time around. Her high-strung attitude often puts her at odds with Lon and Ling, who are decidedly less ready to strive for perfection and are unable to relate to Amala's need to do so. Like other Nomads, she holds the Avatar in high regards but has respected the Fire Nation's order to leave this one alone for the time being. However, when Amala hears that the Avatar saw fit to disregard the Nation's wishes, she makes it her goal to train the Avatar in Airbending, a feat that only masters may normally do.

Seven arrests were made at the Champions League game at Old Trafford, for public order and touting offences.
Greater Manchester Police put extra officers on duty, following clashes between United and Roma supporters two weeks ago.

Three men were arrested on suspicion of section 5 public order offences and three men were arrested in relation to ticketing offences, one of whom was released without charge.
One man was cautioned for a public order offence.
Security scare
After AC Milan fans left the stadium, a black bin bag was found in the west stand which was initially treated as a potential suspect package, but later found to contain adult DVDs.
About 75,000 fans were at the Old Trafford ground, including 2,800 away supporters, who saw United win 3-2.
The second leg will be held next week in Milan.
Manchester United fans have demanded an apology from Italian police over the treatment they received in Rome at the Stadio Olympico three weeks ago.

Customize HTML/Grid reportAsked by poopselfie on February 19, 2014 at 11:11 PM
Is there a way to customize the embedded grid/HTML report for users to see? The default view of the report is a bit plain.
JotForm Support
Unfortunately, customizing table report is not yet possible with its current version. Hopefully in the future but we can't say when.
If i pulled the source from the HTML/Table Grid page, is it safe to say that I could then customize the look/appearance of the page and host it myself?
JotForm Support
Hi, I would not recommend you to do that, since there is not an option to download the source code of the reports from JotForm in order to customize it and still have new coming data updated in it.

The renovations were supposed to start as soon as Florida's home basketball schedule came to an end.
The release blamed "an aggressive schedule, escalating costs associated with the rehabilitation project and a change in the construction management team" for the project needing to be pushed back one year.
"The renovation proposal is a major renewal of one of our campus's most iconic buildings. It's incumbent on us to take the time and do it right," UF President Kent Fuchs said.
The construction management team's design plans are 60 percent done, and the year delay allows them to be completed. The release also said that a new construction manager was brought in and that a construction schedule and budget should be coming in the next couple months.
All sports that use the O'Connell Center will continue to do so during the 2015-16 athletic season, including men's basketball, women's basketball, volleyball and gymnastics.
"We remain 100 percent committed to this project," UF Athletics Director Jeremy Foley said. "The $60 million that we have already earmarked for the project is indicative of this commitment."
The O'Connell Center opened in 1981 and seats 11,548. When renovated, it will include new concessions, club seating, a club lounge, a new concourse, more comfortable seating, a high-definition video board, new sound system and updates to the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.

Agreed on both counts. Neon 0.15.3 is around 12 kloc. Removing duplication with existing APR(UTIL) stuff, I figure that we could implement similar functionality in about 7 kloc. But we also have some advantages to start with: from scratch with lots of prior work to learn from (what is good, what is bad), and lots of code to steal from proxy, flood, and httpd.

|Name a Kiss Trust(s) as the beneficiary for your other existing accounts
How and Why to Make the Beneficiary of Your Life Insurance and Retirement Accounts a Trust
Naming a Kiss Trust as the beneficiary for all or a portion of your existing life insurance, retirement plans, bank accounts or IRA's is simple and can provide significant advantages to your legacy planning.
The process requires no approval, or permission, from anyone to change the beneficiary destination for any of the above type accounts or policies. Simply amend the beneficiary section by providing the full name of the Kiss Trust you wish to receive the proceeds and its tax ID number. Also, amend the name and contact information for the trustee (Eastern Point Trust Company).
What Are The Advantages?
By naming a Kiss Trust as the beneficiary, you are insuring that the money you have allocated will only be available per the terms of the trust. This can help ensure that lump sum inheritance is not quickly depleted.
The Steps
1. Create a Kiss Trust if you have not already done so.
2. Contact your life insurance company, IRA custodian, broker, or bank and ask for a change in beneficiary form.
3. Allocate the percentage of assets to go into the selected trusts.
4. Use the following information for the new Beneficiary;
Trustee:Eastern Point Trust Company
C/O Eastern Point Services, Inc.
PO Box 3322, Warrenton, VA 20188
Beneficiary:(Name of Trust)
C/O Eastern Point Services, Inc.
PO Box 3322, Warrenton, VA 20188
5. Inform the Trustee of the account change.
Token Funded Accounts and Tax Preparation
Many clients fund the trust with a token amount to "sleep" until the time of death, but wish to avoid the cost of annual trust tax preparation fees. By utilizing the tax efficient models provided by Eastern Point Trust Company the trust can avoid an annual tax filing - as long as the annual tax free income is less than $600.
View a Tax Free Municipal Bond fund that can be used with your Sleeping Trust here
|Have your final estate transfer into one or more trusts
You can direct all or a portion of your final estate into one or more Kiss Trusts upon your death (or upon the last to die if you have a spouse).
How does it work?
First you will need to create, sign, and fund one or more Kiss Trusts. Once complete, your Will should be updated by you or your attorney to direct the transfer of your final estate into the trust(s). A copy of your updated Will can be forwarded to our offices and kept with any trust associated with your estate.
What types of assets can the trust hold from my estate?
Cash, Mutual Funds, Stocks, Bonds, ETFs, private company stock, real estate, etc...
What types of assets can the trust NOT hold from my estate?
The trust cannot own any assets type for which it is unable to hold ownership. As such, usually hard assets are liquidated by direction of the Will and the proceeds are placed in the trust and invested per the trust's investment direction policy.
What should I NOT do?
Do not direct items that you wish to never be sold such as family heirlooms into a Kiss Trust without prior approval from Eastern Point Trust Company. Items you wish to bequeath to specific individuals should be specified in your Will or gifted in advance.
Does the trust afford asset protection?
While in the trust, your final estate is protected from the beneficiary's creditors and claims arising from divorce.
Do you offer Estate Administration Services?
If all or a portion of your estate left to a Kiss Trust requires estate administration or liquidation services then additional estate fees will apply. Estate Fees vary based on complexity, asset type, location, and size.

The Kiss Trust Friends and Family Option gives you the opportunity to make a one-time contribution or schedule a series of ongoing contributions into an existing Kiss Trust of a loved one, friend, or someone in your community. The giving process takes only a few minutes and makes gift giving quick, easy and simple.
What you will need:
All you need is the Trust ID Number of the Kiss Trust you wish to give to and a valid checking account (where your money comes from).
You will have the choice as to how much and when to contribute into the trust. You can make a one-time gift (once, or whenever you like again in the future), or schedule automatic ongoing contributions (monthly, quarterly, birthdays or holidays).
You can always change the amount of the ongoing contributions, or stop the ongoing contributions at any time.
After you contribute to the trust, you have the option to choose from a library of personalized gift notes that match the right sentiment for the occasion. The card will be mailed directly to the recipient or, we will send it to the giver for your own presentation. The card will also have the option, like a US Savings Bond, to show the projected future value of your gift on the gift note card.
|Review the mailing address and instructions to make additions by mail
Anyone can mail a personal check, money order or cashier�s check to make additions to a Kiss Trust.
A company may also contribute into a trust using the same methods.
Make checks payable to the name of the trust (example: John B. Smith Trust) and note the trust ID in the memo field.
Mail all additions / gifts to:
Eastern Point Services / Kiss Trust
PO Box 3322
Warrenton, VA 20188
If you are funding multiple trusts, then a separate check for each trust is ideal. However, if a single check is sent for multiple trusts, then a typed detailed list allocating the amount to be credited to each trust is required.
For all checks that are to credit multiple trusts make payable to Eastern Point Trust Company Custodial Trust.

What Exactly Does Homeowner's Insurance Cover?
Homeowner's insurance provides financial protection in the event of your home getting damaged due to any reason. The policy also provides legal protection if you or your family member are legally held responsible for injuries caused to others.
Most homeowner's insurance policies cover damages caused by factors such as fire, windstorms, lightning, and theft. Unfortunately, natural occurrences such as floods and earthquakes are excluded from this policy. However, for the threats that are not covered in the policy, there may be supplemental insurance which you can purchase and get yourself completely covered. Here is a list of all the factors that a homeowner's insurance policy covers.
1. Dwelling coverage
Pays to repair or rebuild your home including features such as repair of electrical problems, plumbing, and even air conditioning at times—provided they are mentioned in the policy. It's important to buy enough coverage cover the cost to rebuild.
2. Personal property coverage
This clause makes sure to reimburse you for the personal items that may get damaged or destroyed by any hazard. Personal items like your furniture, clothes, sporting goods and electronics fall under this clause of the policy.
3. Loss of use coverage
This coverage pays your additional housing and living expenses if you have to move out of your home temporarily while it is being restored from the damage caused.
4. Liability insurance
This insurance coverage helps protect your assets and can be used to cover your defence costs in the event of a lawsuit being filed against you or your family members—especially when you or your immediate family is responsible for causing injuries or damage to other people or their property.
5. Additional home insurance coverage
There are a number of additional coverage options which you can add on to your policy to help you meet your insurance needs.

Material ObjectsBy Benjamin Breen
Lessons from Rare Book School.
Four stories underneath the stately Georgian campus of the University of Virginia, I was with a group of rare-book experts scrutinizing a five-hundred-year-old Italian woodcut of two chubby infants. They framed a capital letter L. One, with a look of insouciant concentration, was thrusting his butt over the downslope of the L to defecate on it.
"The woodcut accompanies Andreas Vesalius's discourse on the muscles of excretion," Roger Gaskell, a rare-book dealer based in Cambridgeshire, told the group. It turns out that Vesalius, the Renaissance physician remembered today as the father of modern anatomy, had an intensely strained relationship with his publishers. "This initial letter differs from the others in the book—despite the fact that the printing house had a perfectly good L already cut," Gaskell said. "So I rather suspect this shitting putti was a message to his publisher."
Over a coffee break, the members of Gaskell's seminar mingled with three others led by such luminaries as Mark Dimunation, the chief of the rare-book division at the Library of Congress. They were gathered in a warren of windowless basement rooms for an annual rite of passage in the world of antiquarian texts: Rare Book School. Read More

Athletes are divided into two elimination brackets. When
the brackets are reduced to two finalists each, the athletes who lost to the
finalists qualify for a repechage round. After each bracket final, the winners
advance to fight for the gold medal; the losers must face the repechage winners
(switching so that the "A" bracket losing finalist faces the "B"
repechage winner, and vice versa) for the two bronze medals.
Each bout is over when the judges award one athlete earns
an ippon by throwing his or her opponent with force, holding the opponent on
the ground for 25 seconds or forcing an opponent to submit with a chokehold
or arm hold. Lesser throws and shorter takedowns may earn a waza-ari, two of
which constitute an ippon. The next two categories of scoring, yuko and koka,
do not add up to an ippon but can be used to break ties after five minutes.
If the opponents are tied in all scoring after five minutes,
a sudden-death "Golden Score" overtime begins.
Each weight class conducts its tournament within one grueling
day (weights in kilograms):
Who's going to Athens?
The U.S. clinched no berths through the World Championships
but earned 12 of a possible 14 berths through regional rankings. In each weight
class, the five top-ranked athletes after the national championships (May 1)
qualified for the Olympic trials June 5 in San Jose, Calif.
World Championships host Japan had several crowd-pleasing
wins, taking gold in five of the 14 Olympic weight classes. South Korea won
three golds, while Cuba had a strong showing with seven medals.

Destiny, will have a heavy focus on player customization. The customization system is highly ambitious and unlike anything seen in a first-person shooter thus far. Scott Shepherd, 3D Technical Art Lead, shed some light on the tools and process Bungie built to create a large variety of high-quality character content. The customization system truly makes the most out of the world art created and allows for continued growth and expandability over the lifetime of the Destiny franchise.
Character Classes and Breakdown
Hunters: The hunters are the frontier scouts. They carry themselves with style, and their look reflects a mixing and matching vibe. The class is dressed in heavy cloaks and various types of masks. They wear lightweight armor; a hard chest plate over a Kevlar-like midsection. They wear loose fitting pants with a lot of pockets.
Warlocks: These are warrior scholars. Seers and wandering monks. They wear long overcoats and robes and generally rely on their abilities. The design of Warlocks drew inspirations from wizards, shamans, and trench soldiers from World War I.
Titans: Knights of culture and tradition. They wear a badge showing where they are from or what they represent. They wear tight fitting rubber suits with large armor plates. They wear the heaviest armor and are the 'bruiser' character class of Destiny.
The beginning of the customization process boiled down to how to create different versions of these classes and to provide an investment in the customization. Many of the original designs had plenty of overlapping pieces, and it limited the artists.
The primary goal was to make the most out of their content.
Bungie began to approach customization for characters on smaller and smaller terms by creating a host of arrangements in gear while being able to swap them easily. You can create something very different with little to no weight on the other teams.
Using a process called Mash Up, Bungie created their own custom character assembler. Any 'bit' or small piece of apparel could easily be brought in, resized, and retooled without breaking any of the single pieces. The team would start with the core of an item and then build off of it by pulling in various bits to piece together a completed equipment piece. Once the geometry was set, each bit could be altered on its appearance, giving it different shade and texture variations, etc.
Gear Manager
The Gear Manager was a tool that allowed Bungie to browse through various arrangements of bits. It permitted them to search a large directory to find pieces and to create small arrangements that could be combined into larger ones. The team wanted to make sure that the Gear Manager allowed a focus on building as opposed to searching for specific pieces. The program was outfitted with a variety of tags for easy organization.
Each player is allotted a total amount of unique memory for their gear. Geometry and texture memory is specified for each arrangement slot on a per class basis.
Allowing for both genders: taking fully built male gear was difficult to transform and alter into female gear. A few modifications were made to use for both male and female arrangements, such as various female bits in chest plates and pants that conformed more to feminine proportions. the vast majority of the content falls in line with both male and female characters.
Coloring of the gear was a big part of making the gear stand out. Using a program called Mantini, the team could quickly select the designer-created item and set the arrangement and the default dye within the same UI. They could change and browse arrangements on the fly, checking for color compatibility, clipping, and missing pieces.
Elements of the dye include tears on cloth effects, the sheen of armor with rust, and the general color tone of the piece. Many of the armor pieces were crafted to vary wildly in color and shape to help give the best feeling of finding and equipping new loot.
What went Right:
- System works very well; a new unique looking arrangement can be made very quickly
- System gets better with more content
- Flexibility is key, invaluable to fixing bugs and art direction feedback
- Unified content, so many different artists worked well within the system
- System can be abstract, modular pieces can be tough to design
- Content creation could be too far ahead of tools and engineering work
- Less fun for artists, since small pieces can take away from creating a wholly unique idea

Aikido Lessons
This class focuses in Aikido, as it has been taught to me by my teachers, as it was taught to them by theirs.
Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art that teaches coordination of mind and body to develop calmness in action and effective technique, regardless of size or strength.
Aikido came to prominence in the mid-20th century. The goal all Aikidoka (practitioners of Aikido) strive for is to put aside the human instinct to retaliate against an assailant. Naturally, when someone hits us, we react by hitting back. Our discipline is to put that reaction aside, because we seek to put an end to the perpetuation of the vicious cycle of harm. There is a saying, "Hurt people hurt people." No one that is well seeks to cause harm to another, and if we retaliate with more harm we not only create more injury in our assailant, but also in ourselves. Thus, our techniques focus on using our attacker's force and energy to manipulate their body in a way that will neutralize the attack without causing damage. This ideal, while not always achievable, is what we work toward in our practice. If this philosophy speaks to you, then this might be the class for you!
Training & Qualifications
I began my martial arts training in 2000, at seven years of age. I started in Aikido, which has remained my main focus, and I have since cross-trained in Taijiquan, Goju-ryu Karate, Judo, and Daito-ryu Aikijujitsu.
When I started teaching a class of middle schoolers, I called my first teacher and asked him for any words of advice or wisdom that he might share with me. He offered these two words, "Teach love." He didn't elaborate, and wished me luck. My interpretation has a couple of different parts:
1) Share my love for what I do, because if I don't love it, why should they want to learn from me, and how can they love it?
2) The martial arts is not about causing harm; they are about self-mastery. Practitioners of the highest level in any martial art should be able to defend themselves from attacks without harming their assailants because not only are they skilled enough to defend themselves effectively, but also aware enough to control their impulse to retaliate. As stated above, only hurt people hurt people. No one in a good place emotionally is going to attack someone else, so why would we want to cause more harm? If we are aiming to create the harmony that this world desperately needs, we have to start with our own reactions to perceived threats. We need to respond with love.
Availability & Preferences
These would be private sessions, either in home or in a park somewhere. An ideal amount of space would be around 25 sq. ft (5'x5' ish, not 2'x12.5').

By Sharon L. Peters, Special for USA TODAY
Beware the nose of the cat.
Or celebrate it.
Just don't underestimate it.
That's what I, a novice cat person, am learning.
I'd always had huge respect for the impressive power of the nose of the dog. Hard not to when the sniff-out gift was so conspicuous among my canines through the years: the unerring ability to locate a minuscule dot of pizza crust that fell between the sofa cushions months earlier; the laser accuracy with which they would scent out the spot where a visiting cat had deposited its calling card (buried under 3 inches of yard dirt); their instant wakefulness when an unfamiliar canine strolled into their sensory perimeter — half a block away.
Turns out cats are no slouches in the nose department either, though their deftness isn't as blatant as dogs.
Cats use those little nubs to find food and mates and their own territory — and (this is where we pathetic human house-sharers can land in consternated perplexity) for scoping out danger. Danger, of course, can take many forms when you're a cat: interloper of any sort (including one of their own species) or any scent unfamiliar.
DOGS VS. CATS: Pups win by a nose
PAW PRINT POST: These kitties are buddies
This scent sensitivity can be a reason why two cats that have gotten along for years suddenly don't. If one is sick and smells different, or if one has just returned from the vet or from a bath, carrying unfamiliar (read: scary) odors, the previously friendly cat might be so troubled as to act weird (read: avoid the other cat or fight it).
It's also why most experts recommend that when you bring a new cat into an existing cat's home, you employ "scent exchange" — often for a very, very long time — before allowing them to meet.
I learned about cats' olfactory complexities just recently (and felt like a dullard, but was told my ignorance of this catdom puzzle is common, so I share this information). These insights befell me as I tried to learn why Gus the Cat (the household's long-termer) and Grisabella (the newcomer) united reasonably well at first, then didn't, then after being separated because one was ill, reunited well and have remained collegial.
Many factors may have been at play, but a likely contributor was the fact that although I'd kept them separated for a couple of weeks when Grisabella first arrived, then had them watch each other through glass for a while before supervising the face-to-face intro, I'd left out the all-important scent exchange. That step, I now know, might have made each feel more comfortable, more familial.
This is the bare-bones version of the approach advised by cat behavior consultant Marilyn Krieger (thecatcoach.com): Confine the new cat to a room. Gently rub the scent from the cheek of one cat onto a clean sock or rag and leave that cloth where the second cat will encounter it (but not near food, litter box or sleeping area). Using a second cloth, you reverse the process. Repeat this, using clean cloths, twice daily.
Don't rush, as having too much of another's scent too close is "offensive to a cat," says Krieger. Days, weeks or months later, depending on the cats, move each scent cloth to the other cat's bed. Eventually, with cats still separated, put the cloths by each cat's feeding station, placed increasingly closer to the door separating them so they'll associate something great (getting dinner) with the other cat. Eventually you can let them see each other while they eat. Then, well, the barrier between them gradually comes down, and … you get the drift.
Some, though not all, experts say this scent-exchange process could include (while the cats are still separated) rubbing each cat's face with the face scent of the other, as the face is an area ripe with possibly appeasing pheromones.
That being the case, a reasonable person might ask if since this face-scent rubbing may work in stranger-cat introductions, can house-sharing feuding felines be persuaded to bury the hatchet (or retract their claws) by being rubbed with the scent of the enemy?
Maybe, maybe not.
A few experts recommend using the scent-rubbing approach, sometimes referred to as "owner-facilitated allogrooming," as a means of neutralizing tension or even hostility between cats. Fervent-enemy cats should be separated (in the same manner a new-cat introduction would be conducted) for weeks while this exchange of scents is going on. If done gradually enough, adding treats during the process, it might, it is said, promote familiarity, maybe even chumminess.
Not everyone agrees. This human-forced rubbing of scents onto hostile cats is "definitely not advisable," says cat behavior consultant Pam Johnson-Bennett (catbehaviorassociates.com), who has written several books on cats. If the cats already live together, "the scent of each is already distributed everywhere," and "forcing the scent on each other is not going to change the mind" of anyone.
Moreover, an upset cat confronted/rubbed with the scent of another with no way to escape may fight back in the only way possible: teeth and claws. "In addition to creating unnecessary stress for the cat, the person is putting herself in danger." The thing that must be altered "is the feeling that exists with one or both cats," and that's best accomplished by providing each with "positive things at ever-increasing proximity to each other."
Nothing with cats is ever simple.
But one thing's not in dispute: The nose of the cat must be respected.

If you consider yourself an expert in multi-tasking, you're going to want to take a look at this. Imerj has just demonstrates a unique foldable smartphone that opens up to reveal two 4″ WVGA Super AMOLED displays, bound together like a small pocket dictionary (just a bit more fun, though!)
Okay, so Apple Shmapple, you've heard all the talks about iPhone's technology and why you should get it. One of the iPhone's coolest features, at least in my opinion, is its retina display. Although I am a bit of a pixel fanatic, it's time to look our eyes away from Apple and towards technology of the future. Samsung introduced a highly dense pixel resolution just last week, and Toshiba is keeping up the paces.
It looks like Hewlett-Packard is on a roll! After just announcing a number of wireless PC accessories operating at 2.4GHz, an ultra-thin LCD display, and three new notebooks, it seems that the manufacturer is hitting the PC market hard with awesome new gadgets. This is great because I was under the impression that there was a general slowdown in the market with PC makers. At this point in time, many electronics makers are focusing on lower cost devices such as tablets and netbooks and seemingly avoiding the higher end notebooks and displays.
Panasonic announced this morning that it will be delivering the Toughbook 53, the big brother from the Toughbook 52. Instead of a 15.4-inch screen, the T53 will sport a 14-inch display. The T53 will also be significantly lighter than the T52's 7.2 pounds, weighing in at 5.6 pounds. The T53 was designed for vehicle-mounting and will ship with 4G LTE which will supply the iron-strength notebook with the speed needed for today's computing.

Skip to comments.MILLER: The new guide to getting a gun in D.C.
Posted on 07/12/2012 5:28:31 PM PDT by marktwain
While there are a few guides online about getting a legal gun in D.C., they are all outdated. Anything written before July 2012 does not reflect the changes in the firearm laws over the past six months which make the registration process somewhat easier and cheaper.
One of my goals over the last nine months writing this series, Emily Gets Her Gun, was to help other Washingtonians become gun owners as easily as possible. I went through the registration ordeal without taking any shortcuts or using insider information so that I could find every bump in the road or dead end. I never read any other guide on going through the process.
So here is my guide on how to get a gun in the District. The steps are listed in the order I think is quickest, followed by more detailed tips.
Get a gun -- If you arent just registering a gun that you already own, I suggest picking out and buying your gun first because the ten-day waiting period begins on the purchase date. Make sure your final pick is on one of these three states lists, and that it comes with a magazine that holds no more than 10 rounds.
Transfer the gun -- Handguns have to go through a local federal firearms licensee (FFL). Call D.C.s only legal gun dealer, Charles Sykes, and tell him you will be sending the firearm to his office. Phone is (301) 577-1427. Shotguns and rifles do not need to be transferred through a local FFL. They can then be shipped directly to you from the out-of-state dealer once you can show the registration certificate.

Indeed. But God Bless her for what she has accomplished. Screams out for a Medal of Freedom, doesn't it?
Holy Crappolla....I just walk in to Jaxon's Hardware and say "I'll take that one."
That's how we do it here, too. It was a good enough reason to move from Mexikalifornistan to Florida!
