Dear Law Guy, When I married my husband, I was a little overweight, he was quite trim. Now I'm slim, and he's put on the pounds and I want a divorce. I used to think he was the best I could do, but now I'm a brand new babe in the Bay Area and I want to see what I'm worth, if you know what I mean. What's the quickest way to get a divorce?
First off, because divorce, like marriage, is subject to state law, you should check whatever information I'm about to give you with a divorce lawyer in Oakland who will naturally be more tuned in to the particulars of divorce law in your home state. in California, all divorces are "no fault" divorces, which means you can request a divorce without claiming your spouse has done something wrong. (Be happy you don't live in the 1800's. Back then you could only get a divorce in California if your husband were impotent, extremely cruel, had deserted or neglected you, was habitually intemperate, committed fraud or adulter, or had been convicted of a felony.) You, as the first to file, would be the "Petitioner," and your husband would be the "Respondent," but the distinction is not that curcial. Divorce in California need not be mutual, meaning either spouse can file and obtain a divorce without the cooperation of the other spouse. You asked about the "quickest way to get a divorce." No matter what, it will take at least six months for your divorce to be finalized. That's the mandatory waiting period. If you want your divorce to actual become final as the six-month waiting period passes, you will want to settle your divorce case and implement the terms of your settlement within that time frame. Most divorces do not happen that quickly. In fact, they typically take a lot longer than the minimum six months. You can explain your situation to a lawyer – which with all due respect may or may not inspire them to work quickly. But even if it takes a while, you ought to be thankful that California divorce law is relatively simply. The default grounds for dissolution of marriage are "irreconcilable difference," which are accepted as true at the word of just one spouse. If I were you, I might not go into detail about your superficial reasons for seeking the divorce, so as not to risk trying the patience of the judge. The other major piece of advice I'd give is to stay as civil as possible with your husband. While on the one hand he has no way of ultimately blocking the divorce, he can certainly drag it out considerably and make it much less pleasant. So, as much as possible, try not to make it personal. You might also think about what you're willing to accept in terms of a divorce settlement. As the Petitioner, you have more of an incentive to accept a settlement which favors your spouse. He, or rather his lawyer, will be well aware of that, and may use that to chisel you.

i am working on a full review of my new ipaq 2215, but wanted to post my first impressions of this new dual-slot ipaq. i bought my 2215 (also found as 2210) on friday after a 340 mile road trip to oregon (more info on my trip can be found on my blog site). after opening the box, i was impressed with the small form factor of the ipaq and compared it to the tungsten c i am also reviewing. the 2215 is shorter, about the same width with the rubber grips, and the same thickness.
after turning it on you will find that it is fast! i have never had a device respond so quickly. it has both an sdio and cf slot with integrated bluetooth. the display is beautiful and bright, but i don't think it is as vibrant as the 1910. there is a grid that is visible in a well-lit environment, but is not noticeable in most conditions, and i rarely use my device in full sunlight. others have reported that this may be present on only some devices, so i'll have to check out some others at the store. the nevo remote control application is great, and the ir strength is very good–about 20 feet in my preliminary testing.
you get 3.84 mb of rom for storage, called ipaq file store. only 57.11 mb out of the 64 mb ram is available for programs and storage, so i assume the os takes up some of that. i love the buttons and the dpad, which is one reason i chose this over the 1940 series, whose buttons i cannot stand. the dpad moves fluidly and is a joy to use.
there is nothing on either of the sides, which i think is a first for a pocket pc. this means there is also no record button, so you will either have to open notes or assign a hardware button to start recording. the bottom connection is standard with the 3900 and 5400 series, so you should be able to use most of the same accessories. the device feels solid and is comfortable to hold.
the stylus just plain bites, and is the plastic, cheap type used in the zire 71. this will be the first thing i purchase as soon as they are available. the included slip case is very protective but nothing fancy, and i hope a new bellagio is created soon.
the cradle is very nice, and a spare battery can be charged behind the pocket pc. recovering from a soft reset takes longer than before, about 20 seconds.
there are some changes to the operating system that are rather subtle, but may help explain the extreme speed increase in response to button presses, commands, etc. the new connection manager uses a wizard, but it still takes quite a bit of knowledge to set up a wi-fi connection, and i have to soft reset with my sony wi-fi card in place to get it working. i also found that one of the wireless tabs disappeared after i entered specific ip and dns addresses, and i am trying to figure out what is going on. the bluetooth manager is very nice and walks you through connection setup, and i was able to discover my nokia 3650 in no time. i still haven't been able to get my gprs connection with my nokia 3650 set up, and am looking for some help in the forums.
internet explorer has been updated, and i was able to open every site i visited except my bank. there is a cleartype tuner you can adjust to your liking. alarms repeat again like they did in the ppc2000 os, so somebody at microsoft is listening to us! the volume bubble is a bit different, and there are other subtle changes throughout. windows media player 9 is included, and the streaming video worked well via my wi-fi card. if you already have a pocket pc 2002 device you may not notice many changes.
overall i am very pleased with the device, and think this one could rival the year-and-a-half i kept my jornada 568. it has everything but integrated wi-fi, and all in an extremely small form factor. what more can you ask for?

|size vs tt (7:28am est mon jun 23 2003)
i would be happy if you could provide a comparision photo of the tungsten t vs this new ipaq. the tt is small enough to carry on my belt all day long, i wonder if the 2215 could. – by hakapes
|comparison to 3955 (2:12pm est mon jun 23 2003)
just wanted to know how this one compares to the 3955. i know it is meant as its replacement, but is there anything that this model is missing that the ipaq 3955 had? – by quade00
|3955 comparison (2:44pm est mon jun 23 2003)
i made this same decision before i bought the 2215. the 2215 has integrated bluetooth (like the 3970), removable battery, newer processor, and a cf slot and lacks the larger display, larger battery, and sleeve functionality. you can upgrade the 3955 to ppc 2003 so the os can be the same. – by palmsolo

can you compare 2215 to tt and tc – by cpr08
|slip cover (11:48pm est mon jun 23 2003)
what does the slip cover look like? i have read so many article but none have any information or picture of the slip case or what the device looks like with it on, the slip case is improtant as it protects the screen and face plate. – by chris
|slip case (12:53am est tue jun 24 2003)
email me at email@example.com and i'll send you a photo of the slip case.
i don't have a tt to compare the 2215 with, but as you can see in the photo above the 2215 is shorter than the tc. they are about the same width and thickness. – by palmsolo
|recurring alarms (9:56pm est tue jun 24 2003)
you said that recurring alarms are working again. this has been one of my major gripes. but on brighthand, steve and one of the other readers there said that they still weren't working.
just to confirm…if you set an appointment for 5pm and set it to notify you 15 minutes in advance, the alarm should go off at 4:45pm. if you don't acknowledge it, it should go off again 5 minutes later (and continue to do that every 5 minutes until you acknowledge it). are you saying that this works now? – by scott r

2215 same width as tc my ass! :-) look how tiny it looks in comparison in that top shot. it makes the tc look like the ugly rectangular brick it is. saying the 2215 is just as wide doesn't do justice to the far superior form factor.. the way it tapers down etc to fit comfortably in the hand. – by wow

i have had my ipac 2215 for about a week. now, for no apparent reason, if i turn off the unit, it will not turn on again after i push the on button. i have to "soft reset" in order to get the thing to turn on.

i'm a little curious about this bluetooth technology.
i'm under the impression that it enables you to connecty to a laptop or a cell phone without wires. am i correct?
is there any way to use integrated bluetooth to connect to the web? or would i definitely have to buy another adapter? – by miguel

i need purchasing decision. i currently own an ipaq1945 but i like the dual expansion slots sd & cf with 2215 but i also like the processor speed and landscape mode with the new x30. i know dell's after purchase service is terrible and that they don't include much softwares in thier units. am i making a mistake thinking about buying already old 2215? – by hans
|rubber grips worthless (10:04am est sat dec 18 2004)
i love the 2215, but the rubber grips are very irritating. they have streached and don't fit the sides any more. they fall off. replacements are quite expensive. very poor design on the grips. – by ron

Have you heard of the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom book? It's arguably one of the best alphabet books! The color block illustrations are so cute and the story is so sweet… just like how Sarah chose it as her baby shower theme: it's her first daughter's favorite book! Natalie Good of A Good Affair Wedding & Event Production designed the playful Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Baby Shower for Sarah, transforming the polka dots, letters, and tropical style into a lively and elegant event! See all the creativity captured by Brett Hickman Photography below…
PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:
- Multi-color sprinkle letter cookies + assortment of unique & pretty cakes
- FUN dessert table backdrop with a papercut palm tree and alphabet letters set in a pink polka dot frame
- Dining table "jungle canopy" of gold hanging letters and giant palm leaves in tall vases
- Pink lanterns, lush coral peonies, ferns and dried coconut table decorations
- Chalkboard easel menu, pink polka dot straws and beautifully styled appetizer spread
- "Guess How Many" game + headband making activity
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Erin…
For (mother) Sarah's baby shower, we wanted to create a theme that had special meaning for her and her first child, Lauryn who they adopted a year and a half ago. After years of trying to have a child, they were blessed with their adopted angel. Then to their surprise, Sarah found out she was pregnant last Spring and to celebrate her and her upcoming bundle of joy, we took inspiration from Lauryn's favorite book, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom for her shower.
The Colony House was the perfect space for this bright and colorful theme. We hung gold letters above the long dining table and used giant elephant ear palms to create a jungle canopy for guests to sit under. Coral peonies were the focal point in the floral design as well as accents of dried coconuts and ferns. A highlight in the design was the custom dessert backdrop that was reminiscent of the book. Guests had fun making head bands and bows for baby Lainey.

So cute!!
But I have no talent and no time to make a baby shower so elaborate… I could never host such an event so I just look for unique gifts to buy for it instead lol
I got this one the other day and I received it this morning, it was so awesome, something I'd never think to make! They took diapers and turned them into a bassinet and the diapers can be USED! I don't know how they did it and I could never do it myself
This is where I got it
Best gift ideas ever… I wish I had the time and talent to make such a wonderful baby shower!

Police: Mom charged after toddler wanders into neighbor's apartment
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
A woman is charged after police say she left her child home alone.
According to the arrest report, a neighbor called police after a 3-year-old girl wandered into his apartment wearing a T-shirt, diaper and no shoes, crying for her mommy.
Police say over an hour later, 34-year-old Nicole Gauthier came home after officers found her phone number and called her.
Gauthier reportedly told police she was driving around the apartment complex talking on her phone and didn't realize she was gone so long.
Gauthier is charged with abandonment of a minor.

Press Release Y2K UKgreenspun.com : LUSENET : URBAN Y2K SURVIVAL : One Thread
The VAT or Local Tax Scam.
Why are so many people gullible, since 1995 the UK and other national governments made a Y2K policy that training and short term re-employment be linked with their Millennium Century Date Change campaign's. Some of the less scrupled members of Industry and Commerce sees good advances in creating a big mountain out of a big molehill. It's because most people are computerised equipment users, but simply have no idea how these Information Technology systems work. Then there are those who do know, do not wish to question or simply have no reason to investigate the facts because of the Y2K indoctrination and lack of logical analytical thinking.
Technical documents that had no real relationship to the basics of computer science were prepared, to ensnare us all in a Y2K propaganda program of deceit and lies. To hoodwink the consumer into renewing computerised equipment, whilst governments rubbed their hands in great expectation of the sudden flood of local tax (VAT) into their treasuries. To pay for those little political extras to try and show how caring they can be without raising tax on earnings or company tax, etc.
The problem of short term policies is that they can affect long term economy, in this case it has nearly led to a world recession. There was a total lack of thought in that many of the small businesses may not be able to afford unnecessary upgrades or renewals of computerised equipment. Also those that could just afford to upgrade or renew PC's and Embedded systems, may still need to downsize their companies in the short term to please their share holders profit margins.
Early in 1996 many IT companies noted that the Y2K organisations and government authorities started to waiver their obligations and followed suite. Most of these waivers however are open to legal address as they still give an option to how fair they are to the consumer's rights. I have thought on this subject and found great amazement at the lack of legal or bad legal advice given to government organisations. My small team of analyst's and I, could earn a fortune as professional witnesses if we so wished, but that is not part of our agenda, an agenda to correct the mis-informed and the misguided Y2K opportunists.
In June 1998, my Y2K benchmark findings at http://visit.internet2000-Plc.com, were presented to governments and their administrations, these benchmarks have since been extended and updated after opening the originals to Internet debate. Any one can run these benchmarks and check the facts. The facts are that many billions of pounds/dollars have been already wasted, much of this money being public money. In the UK, the government was presented with a proposed Millennium Act that would protect the consumer, this Act has been ignored. In the USA an Act was raised and enforced (September 1998), that in fact takes 50% of the USA consumers' rights away, but it does have some very interesting loop holes.
My advice to governments is that they should come clean, take on the responsibility they are charged with. Making sure the IT Industry advises and supplies the cost effective solutions that their consumers deserve, stop wasting money on unnecessary upgrading and renewals. We all require you to be more ethical and certainly more honest and need the assurance that you will not hoodwink us all again.
My advice to the G8 governments that have thought the Y2K problem could be used to bail out the Asia technology providers, please think twice. The Y2K over production in 1995-97 and the slow response to Y2K hype helped cause the problem in Asia in the first place. Yes, yet again the very greedy part of the IT Industry that has leaned on government bodies to help resolve the mess they have placed themselves in.
My advice to those unscrupulous members of Industry that ill advised governments or are presently offering unnecessary Y2K hardware fixes or equipment, or, simply hyping up the Y2K situation to suit their bank balances, go and find a bolt hole to hide in before your clients start to sue you. God knows how many extra unwanted problems will be caused by bugs and BIOS ROM fixes and your lack of knowledge and greed?
My Advice to the academic sceptics or the dismayed Y2K analyst is simply run the Millennium Ready Benchmarks before saying anything stupid and downright misleading.
My Advice to the News Media is that if you have any decency and ethics left, publish this document. It is a very important observance that could save us all sliding into a deep world recession, that will also affect the well being and profits of those that have caused such a shambles in the first place. And please do not be afraid to publish the truth.
My final advice being that there is a Y2K software problem and still a need to test computerised equipment but the software Y2K tools require revamping as per Visionaries IT's own Milsafe Suite products located at http://Internet2000-Plc.com. There is also a need for effective certification and not just companies stating they are Millennium Ready.
We also feel that there is a need to sponsor Third World countries to resolve their Y2K problems. There is requirement for good solid effective government control over the solution providers the first move being a solid Government Act to protect the consumer. Anything else will end in utter chaos caused by non responsive administration and mistakes through lack of central control.

The cult of Whole FoodsBy Wade Kwon
I made the mistake of asking two drinking companions if they had been to the new Whole Foods, the only one in this state.
It went off the rails from there.
As mentioned before, I'm in a epicurean existential crisis. My paralysis stems from an inability to decide which food will kill me most slowly.
I have begun frequenting the organic foods section of the neighborhood Publix, staring in disbelief at (in no particular order) ingredient lists, wacky health claims and inflated prices.
Naturally, I'd be a prime candidate for Whole Foods.
Which is why I haven't gone yet.
But I like keeping up with singles joints, and this frou-frou supermarket seems like it would be the Studio 54 of the postmodern suburbs — only instead of snorting coke in the bathroom, you can imbibe organic 'shrooms right there in the aisle.
The women went into a tizzy just describing the experience of exotic soaps and artisanal breads and the glories of this marketplace. Most confounding was the paradox of the organic wine.
The sample lady poured cups for wandering shoppers, and according to them, it was horrid, akin to licking a rotted prune. My companions and apparently every shopper around them nearly trampled the clerk for their awful samples.
And while many items are considerably pricy, this wine was a mere $3.86.
So they bought it, this cheap foul-tasting wine. My friends, they drank the Kool-Aid dressed up in a pretty bottle and a haughty "organic" label.
They raved about the nifty shopping carts, complained about the Saturday crowds, went on and on about the tour and the cheeses, oh, the cheeses. It's not even supermarket as theater.
It's supermarket as compound.
So load the rifles and hoard the soy milk. If the feds or the Russkies or the zombies ever invade the parking lot, a large inappropriately well-fed band of culinary cultists will stand at the ready.
They will defend those aisles with their very lives, their sporty carts and their pesticide-free cantaloupes. A Whole Foods, defended by halfwits.

Emory survives grueling five-hour match with 5-4 victory against Amherst
KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- Fourth-ranked Emory will play for the program's sixth national championship on Wednesday, earning a berth into the NCAA Division III title game after upsetting top-ranked Amherst 5-4 in a marathon semifinal match on Tuesday.
Emory, now 18-4 this season, will take on Williams for the NCAA championship on Wednesday. The Ephs reached the title match with a 5-1 win against second-ranked Claremont-Mudd-Scripps on Tuesday.
The Eagles took the early advantage in Tuesday's match against Amherst, striking first in doubles play with an 8-2 win from junior Brenna Kelly and freshman Emma Taylor at third doubles against Safi Aly and Caroline Richman. Amherst evened the match with a win at second doubles, as Jen Newman and Zoe Pangalos withstood a come-back attempt from senior Jordan Wylie and freshman Madison Gordon to win 9-7. However, Emory ended the doubles matches with a lead, as junior Gabrielle Clark and freshman Annette Sullivan claimed the final point with an 8-6 win against former NCAA doubles champions Jordan Brewer and Gabby Devlin in the first match.
Amherst rebounded, winning the first two singles matches decided to take a 3-2 lead. At third singles, Sue Ghosh defeated Wylie 6-2, 6-3 while Newman followed at second singles with a 6-2, 6-4 win against freshman Beatrice Rosen. Emory evened the score at three behind Clark at first singles, who defeated Brewer 7-6 (5), 6-3.
The other three matches, the results of which awarded one of the two teams a trip to the championship, each proved to be a nail-biting three-set affair. At the fifth singles match, Gordon fell to Devlin to put Amherst a point away from clinching. After winning the first set 6-2, Gordon dropped the second set 2-6 to her opponent and trailed 5-2 in the third set. Gordon fought back, winning four of the next five games to force a third-set tiebreaker, but eventually fell 7-6 (3).
Down 4-3, Emory needed wins from both freshman Marissa Levine at fourth singles and Kelly at sixth singles to avoid their third consecutive trip to the consolation match. Kelly was the first to abide, defeating Pangalos in three sets to even the team score at four. Kelly took the first set by a 7-5 score, but dropped the second set 4-6. However, Kelly bounced back with a strong 6-3 third-set victory to claim the individual win.
With the score tied at four, all eyes turned to the fourth singles match, where Levine dropped the first set 3-6 to Richman, but bounced back with a thrilling 7-6 (6) second-set tiebreaker win. Energized by the tiebreaker victory, Levine secured the Eagles' come-from-behind win with a dominating 6-1 win in the third set to clinch the team win.
When the final point was tallied, the match totaled more five hours in length, including a brief rain delay during doubles play. Amherst ended its 2013 season with a 20-3 record as the Eagles avenged a 5-4 loss to the Jeffs earlier in the season.
Emory will play in its eighth NCAA championship match and its first since the 2010 season. The Eagles are 5-2 in championship matches, including wins in 1996, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.

Learning the right way to date….. …rocking with new insights!
Hi to all our precious perfect partners – many of you asked what happened to our article last Friday (we were thrilled to know there are so many of you that missed it, and actually read our stuff! Many of you hate reading, maybe that is a long-standing problem that needs to be fixed, only by reading will you learn and change! We appreciate this even more when we see the amazing results from those of you that enquired, when we see you grow with this process and strive to find answers, self-examine, try to stop self-sabotaging and seek the light we always wish for you! This does not apply of course to our couples that find lasting love on a first date, you were ready! J) so apologies! LOL! we are making up for it now in a bumper article!
I was actually not feeling well at all these past few weeks, very unusual, and as it turned out, I had a huge bout of GOUT from my neck to my toes (ME?! believe me, no red wine either!), caused by high uric acid caused by stress after three months of technology nightmares! I am fighting fit again since I could treat the cause, not fight the symptom! We had told you of this IT issue before but stopped asking for patience – we just did our best and managed the problem, never missed a beat even though we are slightly behind in admin, and now I am happy to say that last Monday saw it all resolved, thanks to our own techie wizard who stepped up and helped our internationally renowned software engineers, who did not quite get how big we are and what we needed, with simple solutions! Thank you Gideon! KISS! We thank you again for your patience, and am sure you saw the steady flow of service this week – back to normal! One last thing on IT, we send profiles as we always have for 12 years in Outlook with jpeg photos, but something changed 'out there' with Microsoft, and YOU need to download the winmail.dat app if you cannot see the pics! Or speak to your IT people please! It is NOT us! So onwards and upwards!
Today's theme is all about "SELF", who are we? Are we happy with who we perceive ourselves to be? (In the context that if we don't love and forgive ourselves, how can others? We all blame ourselves – or someone else – for failure, are we suffering guilt, is it real? Do we need to?) and as one of our brilliantly attuned members asked us musingly , "what is the shadow matching aspect, or ego-matching answer to this dating game?". Hmmm, ego? yes, we all have 'shadow personalities' (the darker things, maybe, self-delusions, which may only be in our minds?) or alter-egos, and how we do bring it forth? Does 'shame' stop us from opening up? Many members here join us for some affirmation that someone out there will approve of, and love them….oh dear, then there are declines to meet, and a feeling of low-esteem from rejection sets in. How many of our darling members then look inwards for answers – or make it our fault? Some even believe we should 'deliver' like Mr. Delivery! We feel for every one of you guys, and yes, we see each and every one of you has some perfection, deep love to share, each of you we regard as unique, awesome individuals with much to offer, after all, we brought you on board because we felt we could help you – you are worthy!! Some of our partners may only appeal to a low percentage of our database's criteria, we still do not give up on you!
Please know this! I hate making comparisons (like a Mother never compares her children) but proof is in the pudding, those of you that have looked after yourselves, mentally (reasonably sane! LOL!) spiritually and physically (not overweight for starters), have good health, beam positivity and confidence (even if you need to fake it until you make it) and respect your matchmaker, and are committed to sharing love (being able to give, not only receive) adapt and change, are meeting new prospects in droves – as much as you can handle! So we are NOT short of people – we may just not have what suits two parties equally in your equation! Your expectations may be out of whack with what single society has to offer ……it is very saddening for us when we hear members we like, trust and respect actually speak badly of us behind our backs…….it may just not be our fault! The toxic waves spread and you may be killing any desire by others then to join, who may be someone else's perfect partner …..work with us, it pays off for all! Unhappy grumbles do not leave a positive impression with those you utter to …..it is self-sabotage too! They may nod and sympathise but secretly think '"no wonder, you are one miserable xxxxx, always moaning with a superiority complex!!"…….
It is competitive out there, only YOU can improve the status quo! But also get your values right …….put the ego away and seek heart intelligence on what your desired outcome is, in your realistic niche market, think of years to come, not just the Friday night squeeze, or admiration from friends on your latest 'acquisition' and popularity (ego)….… a trophy/show piece? Good ravishing sex? A rescue? Someone who adores you? A clone of your ex? (then you still love them, y' know!)…..or someone who has the same dreams as you for a happy future you can trust? Find that part of you that simply wants to find everlasting love …and you will find it…….when you fix and tweak your hardwiring – recode your microchips!
Rethink the dusty old blue print stuck in your head! Seek the real and not the fantasy 'ideal' ……be real yourself! And please do not decline in a flash because 'not my look' …….go out there and then PROVE you were right, without just assuming 'not for me' ….without expecting to find attraction off a simple basic profile and photos that are merely a snapshot in time, give everyone a chance ……I hate to say it, but if you are judging on photos alone, you have a problem, you do not understand your fellow humans very well, have little EQ or heart intelligence, and need visual stimulation, rather than a heart connection! And sometimes extroverts and introverts are a perfect mix! Do something different …….!!! Strangely, it is true, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" …so if you find a heart connection that person will be beautiful/hunky to YOU! In reality, how many truly visually "beautiful couples" do you know? Do you imagine you will be the next? Even Brad Pitt and Angelina were not so beautiful in the end …….and they had perfect looks! LOL!
So on that score, we thank our new affiliate coach Veronica from Recode, quite a few of you are speaking to her and results have been amazing already! Even those of you that have had therapists (or thinking about it) are saying this is a fast track to banish past imprinting, and get a new perspective of SELF. Veronica's approach is very empowering, on weight loss, lack of 'presence' and poor image (real or perceived) anxiety/depression, old guilt, bad habits, self-repeating bad choices, fear of failing, improved performance in many areas …..is invaluable! I can only assist with your daily 'experiential' needs, but Veronica can help you find solutions, get to fix the cause, then there won't be symptoms! (hee hee, as I learnt now with simple old gout!). She needs to hear what you NEED ….then figure how to sort, so please read her article hereunder, and watch her British radio interview…..and email her! It is totally confidential and I will only know anything if YOU tell me! I will never invade your sacred space.
I won't apologise for the lengthy read as I think many of you will find time to read …and reflect! If you resonate with any of the elements of co-dependency in the first article, read Veronica's piece, and write her that email! So happy 'window shopping' everyone, remember your feedback on latest dating, and more action next week!
Love and light …..and I seriously mean it, may your light be bright! Never too late to start again ….

6 symptoms of Co-dependency: The Disease of the Lost Self
by Deric Lewis
Co-dependency has been referred to as the disease of a lost self by psychologists. The term has been around for nearly forty years. It was originally used in conjunction with alcoholism. However, research began to uncover that co-dependent traits were more widespread throughout the general population than previously believed. To sum co-dependency up in a straight forward manner, there is imbalance, so one person is abusive or in control or supports or enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement. In other words, people lose their self in the interest of their partner. Although, co-dependency is not limited to romantic relationships. Co-dependency can be defined as any relationship in which two people become so invested in each other that they can't function independently anymore. The role of a co-dependent person becomes a pseudo identity that takes the place of their real self. There are a few common identifiers that mark a co-dependent person or relationship. You need not possess all of the traits either.
1. Chronic Low Self Esteem
Feelings of inadequacy, like you're just not good enough, or comparing yourself to others are signs of low self-esteem. The tricky thing about self-esteem is that some people think highly of themselves, but it's only a disguise, a mask they wear for others. Self esteem is not about outer appearances, but rather, internal confidence. Some co-dependents actually feel unlovable or inadequate. Underneath, usually hidden from consciousness, are feelings of shame. Guilt and perfectionism often go along with low self-esteem. If everything is perfect, you don't feel bad about yourself.
2. Obsessive behaviour
Co-dependents have a tendency to spend their time thinking about other people or relationships. This is caused by their need to seek validation from others, along with irrational anxieties and fears. They can also become obsessed when they think they've made or might make a "mistake." Sometimes you can lapse into fantasy about how you'd like things to be or about someone you love as a way to avoid the pain of the present. This is one way to stay in denial of your co-dependency.
3. Poor or ineffective communication skills
Co-dependents have a hard time when it comes to communicating their thoughts, feelings and needs, or expressing themselves in constructive ways. Often times, co-dependents don't even know what they think, feel or need, and this becomes a problem. Other times, you know, but you won't own up to your truth. You're afraid to be truthful, because you don't want to upset someone else. It's like constantly walking on eggshells. Instead of saying, "I don't like that," or "I need this," you might pretend that it's okay or tell someone what to do. Communication becomes dishonest and confusing, as a result you try to manipulate the other person out of fear.
4. They enable risky and dangerous behaviour
People in co-dependent relationships do a lot of things they don't want to do, and shouldn't do. They buy drugs for their partners. They make excuses for their bad behaviour. They do illegal or immoral things under the guise of keeping their partners happy. They know they shouldn't, but they do these things anyway. It feels like helping in the moment, but it's just more enabling. In fact, these are the types of people that co-dependents are attracted to. This attraction stems from the need to save another person from themselves. They often if not always find themselves in relationships with partners who are addicts, chronic underachievers, or emotionally abusive.
5. Playing the role of saviour
Co-dependents feel responsible for solving others' problems. The co-dependent believes that help is needed and that the person in need cannot manage to make the right decisions or take the right actions to solve his or her own problems. These people are often frustrated in their relationships and exhausted from the amount of effort they are making, trying to fill a void. (Shannon says: we see many 'stalkers" evolving from this!). They often sacrifice his/her own needs, to help others, then end up feeling bitter and resentful, ignored and unappreciated. They rarely obtain the love, recognition and approval they are seeking, because nobody can possibly give enough, or let them do enough to meet their deepest needs. to get help from a therapist or relationships counsellor so you can re-learn healthier behaviours.
6. Lack of or problems with intimacy
By this I'm not referring to physical intimacy, although sexual dysfunction is often a reflection of an intimacy problem. I'm talking about being open and close with someone in an intimate relationship. This ties in with the point about effective communication. Because of the shame and weak boundaries, you might fear that you'll be judged, rejected, or left. You might deny your need for closeness and feel that your partner wants too much of your time; your partner complains that you're unavailable, but he or she is denying his or her need for separateness.
How is your dating life going? Are you getting out there, having fun, meeting new people and expanding your circle? Are you learning more about people – and yourself? And are you refining your search for an ideal partner? Or…do you find you are settling for people who seem okay, because you are not sure if you'll find someone better…or you feel desperate to be in a relationship, so you're going for the first person who'll date you more than once? Or are you feeling pretty disillusioned about meeting the right person…you're meeting people, but they're just not pushing the right buttons?
We all know deep down that we deserve someone who understands us and will support us in our own life's journey. We also deserve deep connection, on an emotional, mental AND physical level. Sometimes this can take a bit longer than we anticipated – and we get impatient! Maybe we even give up because we don't believe we are going to find the partner of our dreams…after all, isn't that unrealistic? Perhaps our past experiences confirm that! We may even try social media, or join an agency – then pass the lack of success on to our matchmaker as their fault, blaming them for our shortcomings, refusing to change and help the situation, whether mentally, spiritually or physically!
When I found myself at the end of my second marriage, I figured there was something going on other than just me making bad partner choices. Very often the experiences we are going through relate to deeper issues in our lives. We may not even be aware of what these are – I certainly wasn't when I started on this journey! All I saw was that I had repeating patterns in my relationships that I just couldn't seem to shake.
Here is an interview I did for a UK radio station that delves into this a bit deeper! Do enjoy, and drop me a line if you'd like to chat.
Warm regards,
Veronica Haupt

Shift your energy!! Recode your patterns!!
We have some important news which is a big breakthrough for all of us! We have a new Affiliate, Veronica Haupt, founder of a truly fantastic coaching company working in a methodology calledEMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE recognised by global experts (see her website www.recode.co.za) that we found is hugely synergistic with our singles society's needs from many points of view! It goes hand in hand with what we always mention to you guys, the problem of 'imprinting' (your subconscious triggers that may self-sabotage a chance to explore new dimensions) and how many people have an inbuilt terms of reference they automatically apply when making choices, i.e. "not my look" or even "not my type" or all kinds of weird reasons, which are conclusions with no reality or evidence, in fact, as every situation and individual is different! Are you really throwing opportunity away because you simply cannot 'imagine' anything different? Or have you lost the will to explore and discover new things, subconsciously choosing/seeking what you are familiar with, even if it was 'bad' for you before? Maybe you long for something you have not let go, like an ex? Maybe it is time to work on the deep underlying reasons why things are not changing for you!
Recode Your Life
Using energy psychology to recode our cellular memory – and change any aspect of our lives. EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, Healing Code, NLP.[hr]
On the premise that all of you have joined us as agents of change or wish to join our awesome database, change can only happen when you change what you doing, thinking or are feeling! (And sometimes, even how you 'look' may be what needs to change!). Veronica's guidance relevant to us is on "Single to Soulmate" and deals with the very exact science of recoding our neurons, our 'hardboard' or 'micro chips' in our psyche (which is in fact a neuron pathology – our bodies grow neurons with everything new we learn, so when we do not learn new things, we only have the 'same old' as reference) and many people do not know how to literally recode their thinking/feeling patterns (heart intelligence we have spoken of many times, which is all energy from our neurons and chemistry) often not aware they are stuck in a dead end! Or worse, people expect change to be effected by 'others', not starting work on themselves first. I cannot explain it all here, but it is very, very interesting and if you identify with any of the below in her pamphlet, or simply are tired of your old 'comfortable patterns', a thrilling new methodology awaits – just call Veronica and find out more!
She may even plan an 'orientation' gathering for all interested parties to explain basics, then you can decide if you wish to attend workshops (very, very empowering and liberating in many ways as vital to personal growth) or have private sessions with her. Veronica is helping many people with addictions and cases of being stuck, and is also very successful on encouraging weight loss, through new mind control and recoding methods. Please take the time to explore – it is ground breaking and highly valuable, it can change just about everything in your life you wish to change, and you have an excellent expert guide! She is a para-psychologist working in OUR world, please explore! The universe applauds action, be positive! Please scroll down, for the story. Veronica is eagerly standing by – 079 440 4395, or email her firstname.lastname@example.com. Confidentiality is sacrosanct as always!
Love and light until next time and have a fabulous weekend, and remember, change starts from inside!

Single to Soul mate ½ day Workshop
Have you been longing to find your soulmate and live a life of connection and love? Maybe love has eluded you so far and you want to give up… or you're just back on the dating scene but are nervous of making the same mistakes as before.
There are often reasons why we have not succeeded at love. The field of Energy Psychology fortunately gives us a way of finding what these are – and recoding our patterns so they don't repeat.
If you can relate to any of the following, this ½-day Single to Soulmate workshop is for you:
- Your new partner turns out to be just like your ex – even if you were purposefully trying to find someone exactly the opposite!
- Something always seems to be missing in the partners you land up with. They're okay, but you long for more.
- Your partners land up having really bad qualities you DON'T want; and even if you try to avoid these, they always seem to come out in the end…
- You've lost hope that the partner of your dreams exists, and that you will find them
- You're afraid that you're not ready to date yet; that you'll mess it up, or that you're not good enough for the fabulous people you're going to meet; or the people you date won't find you attractive
- You think there are no good women/men out there; that all the good ones are taken!
You're not sure if you're over your ex yet
During the workshop you will discover:
- Why we are often subconsciously attracted to the wrong people – and how to change this.
- Your Ideal Partner – identify what you are really looking for in your ideal partner, so you are able to recognize them when they walk into your life! This also stops you from choosing someone missing one or 2 traits that are really important for you – and you only discover once you're already involved.
- Limiting Beliefs we may have about ourselves, other people, the world and what we deserve. These beliefs can be powerful enough to sabotage our attempts to find the partner of our dreams.
- Your fears around love – what are we afraid of that may be subconsciously holding us back?
- Getting over your ex – a powerful exercise that will help you forgive and move on. No matter what feelings (whether good or bad!) you still harbour for your ex, you can be free from them – and feel only gratitude and appreciation for the part they played in your life. You will no longer be held back in your next relationship by old feelings of resentment, bitterness or even missing them.
And best of all – you will be learning a tool that you can apply to relationship issues you may have with your new partner!
Workshop details
Date: Sat 5th Nov / Sun 13th Nov / Sat 3rd Dec 2016

Time: 9am – 2pm
Cost: R1250 pp, incl. snacks

Halloween provides the chance for some theatrical fun, and if you aren't in the mood to dress up, it's always fun to watch others do it.
A classic spooky tale is unfolding at the Village Repertory Company at Woolfe Street Playhouse as they do a makeover on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous Sherlock Holmes story, "The Hound of the Baskervilles."
When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on his estate, with a look of terror etched on his face, and the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside his body, the great detective Sherlock Holmes is summoned from Baker Street, with Dr. Watson in tow, to investigate the ancient curse of the hound of the Baskervilles.
Audiences will watch misstep after misstep to see if the questionably courageous detective and his bumbling man can mange to survive the mystery of Baskerville Hall. This adaptation is a thrill a minute as three actors handle dozens of roles in this silly spoof.
The play opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday and runs through Nov. 22 at the Woolfe Street Playhouse, 34 Woolfe St. in downtown Charleston. Tickets are $30 adults, $27 seniors $20 students. For play times and more info call 856-1579 or www.villagerep.com
Another silliness that you can dress for is the Karaoke Smackdown: Round 1 on Monday at 841/2 Society St. put on by What If? Productions and Threshold Productions.
Here's how the smackdown works: Each Karaoke Smackdown will have a theme for the evening (this month is Halloween) and guests and audience members are encouraged to dress accordingly.
Ten contestants will be randomly selected from a pre-registration list and will be given pre-selected songs to choose from and prepare to sing from memory in the first round.
A panel of three "celebrity" judges will narrow those 10 down to a final 4 who will perform a song selected by the judges in a roulette style fashion (with karaoke lyrics).
Of course, the judges are part of the fun and include comedian David Lee Nelson and a character from one of two production companies. The third judge may actually be someone who will, well, judge artistically.
Audience members in attendance will vote for their favorites on the spot via Twitter and Facebook with an audience favorite award given to the final Karaoke Smackdown champion.
If this all seems a little confusing, think karaoke night but in "Dancing With the Stars" format, heavily loaded with whacky judging and social media.
Then the winner can defend the title in the next month's Smackdown. The fun is $10, so who knows where this could lead. It could be a year of karaoke!
If you need to try to figure this out, go to whatifproductions.org or thresholdrep.org for more information, or just go, in your Halloween costume, of course.
A night of a different sort happens when the North Charleston POPS! kicks off its 2013-14 season Saturday with a "Military Salute featuring Steve Lippia" at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center.
Lippia is a Las Vegas artist and will help orchestrate what is being billed as "an evening of foot-stomping, tear-jerking music sure to ramp up your patriotic fever."
The concert will include Sousa marches, a pictorial military tribute, and a hall full of buglers attempting to break a Guinness world record.
In addition, Lippia will sing the biggest hits of Frank Sinatra, including "The Lady Is a Tramp," "My Way," "All of Me" and "Send in the Clowns."
The tribute is 7-9:30 p.m. Saturday at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center, 5001 Coliseum Dr. Tickets range from $15-35.
For more info, call 202-2787 or www.northcharlestonpops.com
Friday starts the annual Charleston Fine Arts Dealers weekend, where new work is being displayed at most of Charleston's finest galleries.
Last year, at the Gibbes Museum of Art hosted its very successful Art on Paper Fair and they are bringing it back.
The weekend event will be held at the museum and features prints, watercolors, photographs and drawings for sale by prominent American art dealers featuring works that celebrate the South. A "First Look" evening reception will be 8-10:30 p.m. Friday.
The fair is a great way to break into art. Prints and other small works on paper are usually reasonably priced and are often the way someone begins to appreciate art. You get the chance to look at early work from emerging artists or smaller works from established ones.
The Art on Paper Fair is adding artist demonstrations, curator-led tours and an artisan boutique this year.
Participating dealers include: Charleston galleries, Corrigan Gallery, Coleman Fine Art, Dog & Horse Fine Art and Portraiture and Jonathan Green Studios as well as The Cheryl Newby Gallery of Pawley's Island, David Allen Fine Arts of Arlington, Va., Claudia Heath Fine Art of Charlotte and the John K. Surovek Gallery of Palm Beach.
The First Look Preview Party is $30 in advance, $40 at the door. But you can also go to the fair on Saturday and Sunday where admission to the museum is free from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
At 2 p.m. on both days, there will be a curator-led tour where you can join the Gibbes staff going around to the dealer's booths and learn more about the art of collecting.
For a full schedule of events visit gibbesmuseum.org/events or call 722-2706, ext. 21.
Other weekend events for CFDA are:
5-8 p.m. Friday: A free Fine Art Annual Stroll at participating downtown galleries.
9 a.m.-noon Saturday: Painting in the Park at Washington Square. Go from easel to easel and watch famous local artists produce a piece of plein-air work.
4-7 p.m. Saturday: Join the artists of Redux for the semi-annual Open Studios and get a peek behind the curtains. This is the perfect time to meet the artists, see what's new, buy artwork straight from the artists and purchase tickets for the Nov. 9 annual auction.

What I am trying to say is that by legislating tolerance, we are in fact creating intolerance.

Types of yoga
Info Guru, Catalogs.com
Rate This Article:
Thank You For Voting
According to some records yoga was developed in Northern India over 5,000 years ago.
Hatha, Kundalini, Bikram, and Ashtanga are the four most popular types of yoga practiced in fitness centers and local yoga studios throughout the U.S.
According to data published in 2004 in the journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, an estimated 15 million American adults have used yoga at least once in their lifetime, and more than 7.4 million participated in the year prior to when the research was conducted. Individuals interviewed reported that they used yoga for wellness (stress reduction, quality of life), health conditions, and specific ailments like back or neck pain, and 90% felt yoga was very or somewhat helpful.
Hatha yoga is the most widely practiced type in the U.S. and is excellent for beginners. It is a gentle practice where you move slowly and smoothly through dozens of poses (called asanas). The focus is on holding the poses and integrating your breathing into the movement. Hatha is a great way to stretch, work your muscles, get in touch with your body, relax, and decrease stress. Iyengar yoga, a form of Hatha, uses similar poses but focuses more on body alignment and balance, holding poses longer, and using props such as straps, blankets, and blocks. Like Hatha it's also a good choice for beginners.
Kundalini yoga emphasizes rapid movement through the poses and emphasizes breathing, chanting, and meditation. It has a more spiritual feel than Hatha and focuses on energy balance in your body. Beginners unfamiliar with Hatha poses, chanting, and meditation, might find Kundalini more physically and mentally challenging then they are comfortable with and might want to start with Hatha.
Bikram yoga is practiced in a room (sometimes unventilated) heated to about 105 degrees Fahrenheit. The idea is that muscles will loosen and sweating will cleanse the body and remove symptoms of disease and chronic pain. There hasn't been any research on the safety or efficacy of Bikram, and so there may be the potential risk of dehydration, blood pressure changes, and cardiac problems with exertion in such an inhospitable environment. This is particularly so for individuals who may have an existing heart problem or high blood pressure. However, people who do it swear by it, and so if you are determined to try it, it is strongly recommended that you speak with your physician first –which you should do before trying any new exercise routine.
Ashtanga, or power yoga, is designed to build strength and endurance. It is an aggressive workout where you move quickly from one pose to another. There is little emphasis on meditation with Ashtanga, and at the end of the session you will feel more like you have completed a traditional weight training or callisthenic workout than you would with any other types of yoga. Ashtanga is for you if you're looking for a tough, physically challenging workout.
The benefits of yoga: There is evidence that practicing yoga can help you increase your flexibility, strength, and stamina. Hatha is the type usually studied, but there's no reason to believe that you won't gain these benefits from other types as well. The improvements in strength and stamina may not be as substantial as those gained with dedicated weightlifting or cardio-respiratory training, but it's certainly better than no exercise at all, plus, anytime your heart rate rises or your muscles contract against resistance for a sustained period of time there will be a training effect (your own body weight provides the resistance in yoga).
There are also a small number of studies which show that practicing yoga can reduce blood pressure, improve blood glucose in individuals with diabetes, improve mood and affect, improve the pain and discomfort associated with chemotherapy for cancer patients, and reduce the pain from back problems. The mechanisms for these changes have not been identified, but it's fair to say that if yoga reduces stress, which most people who practice yoga agree that it does; then it could work by decreasing stress hormones in the body like norepinephrine and cortisol that contribute to, or are associated with, stress, high blood pressure, heart disease, and other medical conditions.
Yoga can become a rewarding, life-long activity that promotes health and maintains function as one ages. Because of the many modifications available and the different types of yoga, it can be a part of almost everyone's fitness plan, and the opportunities to advance and improve are endless.
Yoga is a safe form of exercise for almost everyone, but depending on the medical condition, certain poses may need to be modified or avoided. A couple of examples of patients who may need to avoid certain yoga poses include patients who have been diagnosed with advanced spinal stenosis and should avoid extreme extension of the spine such as back bends in yoga. Patients with advanced cervical spine disease should avoid doing headstands and shoulder stands in yoga.
Most of the precautions surrounding the different types of yoga poses can be determined by understanding your specific medical condition, using common sense, and finding a good yoga teacher to assist. There are many schools of yoga. Before taking a class, it is a good idea to discuss with the teacher his or her philosophy and emphasis in order to find the most appropriate and personally appealing form of yoga.

Mingarelli: Ukraine may lose third tranche of 600 million euros from the EU
If Ukraine does not abolish the moratorium on the export of round timber, then it risks losing the next tranche of European Union (EU) macro-financial assistance for 600 million euros, said the head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine, Hugues Mingarelli, in an interview with Segodnya website.
"If Ukraine does not lift the ban on exports of round timber, 600 million euros - the third tranche of macro-financial assistance - will be lost. The decision will be made before the end of this year, which means that you should receive money in early 2018," he said.
However, according to Mingarelli, the abolition of the moratorium on the export of round timber is not the only condition for obtaining the tranche. In addition, Ukraine needs to fulfill conditions in the field of energy, fighting corruption, in the field of trade, and in social payments for immigrants.
In the spring of this year, Ukraine received the second tranche of the European Union in the amount of €600 million.

I hope I can do something "creative" with snapmap
My first map is in the works and I'm ok with it but honestly, the fact that the editor controls pretty much everything is annoying. I can't do room over/under room at all. Two weapons? Seriously? Can't move the walls of rooms to make it tighter or further out to give more space. Can't have "super cold" and "gritty" atmospheres at the same time? It's sort of disappointing. I'm certain it's great for all the n00bs to mapping out there but I'm used to being able to do so much more. We'll see if I can do something awesome with this or not

The Orchestra of Wadham and LMH (OWL) is a thriving and high-standard orchestra run by students in both colleges. In its third year, the orchestra is known for being one of the biggest of the college orchestras, as well as for tackling some momentous repertoire. However, we approach these challenging works from a welcoming and less intense angle – you will come out of a rehearsal having had fun and a chance to meet people around you.
The running of the orchestra is a shared responsibility. A committee that includes a social secretary, publicity officers, orchestral fixers and college liaison officers is headed up by the General Manager, who works in close contact with the Conductor.
Our orchestra is very much part of an expanding music scene at LMH. The position of conductor presents an exciting opportunity for a well-organized student to develop their musicianship and engage in leadership. In consultation with committee members, you will have freedom to explore the orchestral repertory and plan the termly strategy.

Pixel and Pixel XL, the new name of Google's Nexus range of smartphones, will be making a debut in an event the multinational tech company will host on Oct. 4, according to a teaser video announcement made by the company.
In the 30-second video posted via YouTube, Google teased the viewers that showed a familiar Google like search engine bar which transformed into an outline of a smartphone with the Google app logo seen on the side and the date Oct. 4 on it.

October is coming. #madebygoogle https://t.co/UNMr2cJXhk pic.twitter.com/LzyswaEBjh
— Google (@Google) September 20, 2016
A report made by Android Police said that according to their independent sources they believe that "Google's formerly-maybe-Nexus-phones, Marlin and Sailfish, will be marketed as the Pixel and the Pixel XL."
The upcoming Google-distributed devices will differ in sizes and specs, the report continues. The main differences between the higher end model, Pixel XL, and the standard, Pixel, are the dimension, battery capacity and processors.
ALSO READ: Xbox Games with Gold: October 2016 new titles revealed
According to a report, the higher-end Pixel XL will sport a 5.5-inch 2,560 x 1,440 resolution screen with an active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display. It will run with a still unnamed quad core 2.0GHz 64-bit processor and a 4gigabyte (GB) random access memory (RAM).
Pixel XL's cameras will have a 12-megapixel (MP) in the rear and a 8-MP in the front. Its battery is a beefy 3,450-milliampere-hour (mAh) and a standard 32GB internal memory storage, with the option to upgrade to a 128GB if needed. As expected, it will also come with a rear-mounted fingerprint reader and a USB Type-C port.
Meanwhile, the standard Google Pixel will have a smaller 5-inch full high definition (HD) AMOLED display feature, 4GB of RAM, quad core 2GHz 64-bit chipset, the same cameras and a smaller 2,700mAh battery.
No matter how certain several tech insiders seem, the reported Google smartphones' specs should still be considered as speculations at this point. After all, everyone will finally confirm these reports in no more than a couple of weeks.
