"Looks like someone is going alone" he said sarcastically. She responds, "I told you we were going this weekend!" Then he fire backs and they interrupt each other, trying to get their point across.
There's a chance they aren't happy. Yet, the popular belief is that anger will doom a relationship. Although anger can cause unhappiness, it doesn't end a marriage.
So what does deteriorate a relationship?
The most common complaint couples share in therapy is communication. How you say it and what you say, rather than the actual the problem.
Scientists have discovered 5 patterns that do kill romantic relationships. All impact our communication in some way or another, regardless of the issue. What's more, these are behaviors we may inadvertently do just to prove our point, get what we want and even fix or repair the relationship.
#1: Criticism
A good synonym is nagging. Anyone can admit they detest being criticized.
Try to remember the last time you were criticized? Who was it? What was it about? What did they say? Now that you remembered the last time you were criticized, did it take you long to think of one? Probably not. Generally, we remember criticism outstandingly well, no matter how small, compared to positive comments.
#2: Defensiveness
This is when we take the opportunity to deny any responsibility and make excuses. There is a reaction in us to want to deny responsibility. It's difficult to admit we are wrong or that we made a mistake. Those that tend do be defensive on a whole, find negative solutions, think their partners think of them negatively and are more withdrawn.
Some of us react this way in uncomfortable conversations. What matters is how often and chronic the behavior is that can deteriorate a marriage.
#3: Contempt
"It ought to be outlawed," says Dr. John Gottman about the damages of contempt. Really, all contempt tries to prove is that one is above and the other is beneath. They can let their partner know of their defectiveness through sarcasm, eye rolling, body language, etc. There is a lack of respect—bottom line.
When anger is met with contempt there is an inevitable escalation. Then we say or do things we would later regret. Contempt is considered to be the worst kind of fighting style that loses positive feelings and marital stability.
#4: Withdraw
Withdraw can take the form of stonewalling. It's a way to end the problem, or avoid it, and it usually happens when someone pursues his or her partner during an issue. The more they pursue, the more the other partner retrieves and the more the partner withdraws the more the other pursues.
It can be leaving the room, refusing to talk, or pretending not to care. Avoiding conflict can still keep a relationship somewhat functional but on dangerous waters.
#5: Affectless
Withdrawing can be very damaging when you not only avoid an issue, but also withdraw affection. In fact, it is more detrimental. If feelings never come out, good or bad, then there is less self-disclosure and problems don't come up to be solved, subsequently declining relationship happiness.
Being affectless is being neutral. A little neutrality is good when the conversation gets too heated, but having extreme neutrality affect can take a toll on the relationship. Isolation and rejection are difficult to deal with, because we all want to feel included and loved.
The previous four killers are popularly defined as the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," but Dr. John Gottman adds more to the story. There are couples that are not part of the Four Horsemen and their arguments don't escalate, they avoid conflict altogether and don't self-disclose or have emotional engagement. Affectless marriages don't express love, maintain it or nurture it. Both extremes of communication are doomed to fail on average, unless you seek professional help.
Getting Help
We all tear down our relationship at some point, especially when ripped from our needs to feel loved and accepted; we end up attacking, stonewalling, etc. So if you find yourself chronically using the top 3 Killers as weaponry, then it's time to practice appreciation, which is easier said than done, so seek support. If you tend to the affectless relationship, or use the last 2 Killers, there is emotional focused therapy to help you feel safe when becoming vulnerable. At the end of the day we make mistakes, which is why there are erasers at the end of pencils.

A Clear View of the Witch Head Nebula
Via NASA:
By starlight this eerie visage shines in the dark, a crooked profile evoking its popular name, the Witch Head Nebula. In fact, this entrancing telescopic portrait gives the impression the witch has fixed her gaze on Orion's bright supergiant star Rigel. Spanning over 50 light-years, the dusty cosmic cloud strongly reflects nearby Rigel's blue light, giving it the characteristic color of a reflection nebula.

A coalition of amnesty activists that's seeking to amass political power insists Republican rhetoric — particularly surrounding the presidential election — has motivated thousands of legal permanent residents to become citizens and register to vote.
The coalition of about a half dozen left-learning groups — dubbed the "Stand Up To Hate" campaign — says that, since January, it has hosted over 300 workshops aimed at encouraging legal permanent residents to naturalize and vote.
Their effort has engaged more than 500,000 legal permanent residents and, over the past two months, has helped to fill out 12,781 naturalization forms, "Stand Up To Hate" campaign representative Josh Hoyt, executive director of the National Partnership for New Americans, told reporters on a conference call Wednesday.
With an estimated 8.8 million legal permanent residents eligible for naturalization, the campaign says it has a goal of one million naturalizations this year, a 37 percent increase over the standard annual rate of naturalization. The intention is to influence the 2016 presidential election.
"There is something going on here and the way Donald Trump and other Republicans have been talking about immigrants and refugees and Latinos and Asians, and Muslims, is frankly scaring people into becoming citizens," Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), a "Stand Up To Hate" campaign leader, said on Wednesday's conference call.
He added that in his travels and participation at various naturalization workshops, he has seen "lines out the door" of immigrants seeking citizenship.
"We could literally hold a citizenship workshop every weekend and still not satisfy the demand," he added.
While the "Stand Up To Hate" campaign has put a great deal of attention and resources on recruiting immigrants to become eligible another aspect of the campaign is a voter registration effort aimed at recruiting voting-age high schoolers.
"We are very proud to announce that tomorrow, May 12, across many battleground states, many national and local groups like Mi Familia Vota and others will launch a national campaign engaging high school students," Rocío Saenz, the president of iAmerica Action and international executive vice president of the SEIU, explained on Wednesday's conference call.
Gutierrez added that while there has been a focus on immigrants as potential voters, the most growth on their side will be Latinos turning 18 years-old.
"The real growth in the Latino electorate this year is going to be the millions of young people who are old enough to vote for the first time," he said, praising the SEIU's upcoming registration drive. "We need to go to graduating classes across this country and make sure we sign those 18 year-olds up to vote."
Also participating in Wednesday's call were representatives from UNITE HERE, Mi Familia Vota and the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada.

Beginning this year, we had planned to start two new high schools in Lemolo and Haji communities in order to continue the educational efforts we started by establishing various primary (elementary) schools in these communities. Together with the various stakeholders we embarked on this goal and now I am delighted to say we've started the Bright Hope Lomolo Secondary School in Lemolo and Safina Haji Secondary School in Haji farm.
These are brand new schools in these areas and this past week, the two schools enrolled their first class.
It was exciting to see students from these communities continue their educational endeavors past their primary school certificate. Students reported to Form 1 (freshman) as from Monday, 15th of February and are still enrolling before the registration ends towards ends of February.
As of now, we have begun construction of classrooms in Lemolo with four classrooms almost done. We are moving fast since currently the students don't have their own dedicated place to learn. They have been given a classroom from Sinendet Primary School (Lemolo B) to use in the meanwhile.
In Haji farm, the high school is utilizing the old building that housed the primary school before construction of the beautiful Safina Haji Primary School. They currently have 20 students coming in the first week and anticipate a class of about 30 students in Form 1. There is a plan to bring back the students in higher grades who are attending high schools away from the community.
In Lemolo, the high school admitted 46 students in the first week and anticipated an enrollment of about 60-70 students eventually. There has been a lot of buzz about the establishment of the school as well as great community energy towards this project.
I have observed that these two projects have had more enthusiasm and energy surrounding the projects unlike ever before. Perhaps its the community understanding the need of the schools or the fact that in both of these places, these are not the first projects and therefore the momentum is there. Perhaps its the presence of good relationships with various stakeholders emanating from the success of the previous projects but I like the way these projects have been embraced by the community.
In Lemolo, the community had various consultative meetings regarding the location of the school. Then the community selected the committee to lead the efforts, drawing people from both Lemolo A and B communities. Since this school is serving the two communities, the people have joined hands to make the school a success. And for the first time I even saw people from neighboring areas come in and join in the efforts.
After planning and determining all the resources needed, the community had a public fundraiser inviting people from all over including the civic, political and opinion leaders to raise enough money to help start the school. Since the government is yet to come in and take over, the school will employ local teachers until professional teacher can come in. Each parent had to fund-raise an agreed amount; they could ask for help from their friends or if able could give the agreed sum themselves. This is one of the reason why there is a higher number of students here since the community took a collective responsibility to make sure that the school is funded to start and didn't just leave the responsibility to the parent in form of fees.
In Haji farms, the community had to meet a number of times before finally settling down on the location of the high school since there's not a designated place for a high school. The community however has various plots of land left for public utility and had to agree on which plot to use for school and which to leave for future development of utilities like police station and health center. They actually agreed in a meeting after coming to welcome Amy when she recently visited the community.
I just came from there and met the community when they were breaking the ground where the school will go- literally, clearing the bushes, burning the vegetation and planning where the various buildings will go. It was a good indicator of the leading role the community is taking and the ownership they already have even before the foundations of the school's buildings are laid. It is a good sight to behold for a community development practitioner such as myself. It means the project has a very good start.
For us in WTA, we will have to move fast and get things done. We're also very excited to see all these happenings and it encourages us to keep working hard. I am very grateful to the various donors who have made these projects a possibility by giving their monies, big or small the donations are going to have a lasting positive change in these communities.
Sam, Field Rep

RESISTANCE WATCH--Progressive activist and filmmaker Michael Moore made headlines last year when he correctly predicted that Donald Trump would defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. In February he then launched a new website that would help his fellow activists find and participate in anti-Trump resistance events.
Now, Moore has launched what will perhaps be his most important project yet: One that will help whistleblowers who want to expose corruption within the Trump administration.
The new site on Michael Moore's website is called TrumpiLeaks (presumably a play on words from WikiLeaks). According to Moore, it "provides the most high-powered encryption technology to enable courageous whistl eblowers to privately communicate with me and my team." Although he points out that "no form of digital communication is 100 percent secure, the tools we're using provide the most secure technology possible to protect your anonymity (and if you don't require anonymity, you can just email me here)."

Historic Preservation at Centre College
Old Carnegie
Horky House
Stuart Hall
Breckinridge Hall
Craik House
Combs Center
An activities center in an old hemp warehouse? A bookstore in a former funeral home? It may sound a bit unusual, but Centre College has a history of finding new uses for old buildings. As one of the nation's oldest colleges—it was chartered by the Kentucky Legislature in 1819—Centre also has a long tradition of respecting the past.
Old Centre
The tradition begins with the College's original building, Old Centre (1820; Greek Revival front portico and wings added 1841, back portico 1940). Now the main administration building, it is one of two Centre buildings listed individually in the National Register of Historic Places. (Centre has a total of 14 National Register buildings listed either individually or as part of historic districts.) Over the years Old Centre has housed classrooms, student rooms, a dining hall, and a grammar school, as well as a law school (1894-1912) and library. During the Civil War, Confederate and Union troops both commandeered the building for a hospital (though not at the same time).
Old Carnegie
Old Carnegie (1913) is also listed individually in the National Register of Historic Places. It was built as the library (the industrialist Andrew Carnegie provided $30,000 toward its construction), a purpose it served until the construction of Doherty Library in 1967. It now houses the offices of international study and career services as well as a special-occasion dining room.
Horky House
Horky House (ca. 1842-1850), an imposing Greek Revival structure on the edge of campus, was built by Robert Russel Jr., the noted Danville architect/builder also responsible for Old Centre. By the time Centre bought the house in the 1980s, however, it had become a falling-down wreck. After substantial renovation and remodeling (the back extension is new), it reopened in 1992 as Centre's admission and financial aid offices.
Breeze House
In developing Greek Park and the surrounding area on Walnut Street, the College was able to save several existing buildings, including Breeze House (ca. 1900), a private residence turned boarding house for railroad employees until its 1997 renovation as student life and communications offices, and Walnut House, now a dormitory and campus post office but known to old-timers as a coffee shop.
Stuart Hall
Stuart Hall (ca. 1915) formerly known as the Centre Shoppes, the building housed the Centre bookstore and a coffee shop/cafe since 1992. It previously served as a private residence, a fraternity house, and a funeral home. There is a highway marker from the Kentucky Historical Society in front of the hall commemorating John Todd Stuart, a friend of Abraham Lincoln who persuaded Lincoln to pursue a career in law.
Other Important Buildings
Other historically important Centre buildings include the brick Italianate Craik House (ca. 1850s, with Greek Revival portico added in the early 1900s), home to Centre presidents since 1938; Chenault Alumni House (1904); Breckinridge Hall (1892, substantially rebuilt after a 1908 fire); and Sutcliffe Hall (1915, expanded 1962 and 2005).
Two Former Warehouses
The buildings with the most unusual histories are probably two old warehouses given new life. The Combs Center, often called the Warehouse (ca. 1902) is a turn-of-the century hemp warehouse converted into a modern student center. Original plank flooring, brick walls, and one-foot-square oak columns that run from the basement to the third floor remain. Nearby is another former warehouse, the green and white striped Jones Visual Arts Center (ca. 1930s) once owned by the Jackson Chair Company. After extensive renovation, it reopened in 1998 as the home for Centre's art program and includes a state-of-the-art hot glass studio and the Aegon Gallery.
Sinking Springs
The oldest site of interest on campus is Sinking Spring, an early Indian camp site and possible location of Thomas Harrod's cabin of 1774-1776. Sinking Spring was part of the College's original seven acres (purchased from John Cochran for $400 in March 1819). Centre students and faculty began archeological explorations of the area in 1999.

Lawsuit Mesothelioma Fill & Win Mesothelioma Settlement Complete Guide
Mesothelioma Lawsuit Complete Guide, Fill and Win Mesothelioma Settlement Amount and example of the Mesothelioma Lawsuit Cases who Won Mesothelioma Lawsuit for Mesothelioma Settlement.
Lawsuit Mesothelioma Introduction:
For everyone suffering from asbestos-related diseases the mesothelioma, it's important to contact a qualified mesothelioma lawyer immediately. These diseases occur later in time and hence only a mesothelioma lawyer trained in asbestos litigation can help you decide if and when to pursue a mesothelioma lawsuit against the company that might have been responsible for your mesothelioma. Only the right mesothelioma attorney can guide you well about the process and what to expect out of filing the lawsuit mesothelioma.
Yes, that's right, people suffering from mesothelioma can file lawsuits. Anyone who discovers that they are suffering from mesothelioma due to working with asbestos (in case they are deceased, their spouse) can achieve substantial money damaged from either:
• The company that manufactured or installed the asbestos
• An insurance company
• Asbestos victim's trust fund that has assumed liability for the company.
Even if the original company has long since sold out, closed down, or being bankrupt, the victims can still claim their right by filing a mesothelioma lawsuit because of the formation of asbestos victims' trust funds.
Filing a Meothelioma Lawsuit is Time Sensitive:
There is a time limit after diagnosis of mesothelioma cancer during which you can file a mesothelioma lawsuit. A qualified mesothelioma lawyer can help you file your claim within time and may also be the best judge as to which state is most suitable to file your case from.
What to Expect When Filing Lawsuit Mesothelioma
In mesothelioma lawsuit, the mesothelioma lawyer will deal with everything from the actual filing of the case to the related aspects of the case. But when you are filing a lawsuit mesothelioma, you should keep a routine in mind that consists of response to the mesothelioma lawsuit, discovery, depositions, settlement discussions, trial if settlement doesn't work out, verdict and possible appeal.
Mesothelioma Lawsuit Process:
Every case is different according to the person, however there are a number of steps that apply to nearly all asbestos-related mesothelioma lawsuit. Your mesothelioma attorney will handle each of the steps and will explain you the process as it goes along.
Most mesothelioma lawsuits follow these steps:
Here are steps
Step 1 Preparation for mesothelioma lawsuit:
Your mesothelioma attorney will gather information about your asbestos exposure and illness to decide which court to file your mesothelioma lawsuit in, considering the fact that you may be eligible to file your lawsuit in more than one court. This information will help him decide the most favorable court for your mesothelioma lawsuit.
Step 2 Filing for mesothelioma lawsuit:
The mesothelioma lawyer files a written complaint with a court to start the legal process. Your mesothelioma attorney will prepare and file this document. Your complaint must move forward, follow different court rules on how the document is written and the details it provides about the mesothelioma claims to enable the case to move forward. An experienced mesothelioma attorney will be familiar with these rules and issues that may arise and will use this knowledge to the best of his abilities to help present your mesothelioma claims to the court.
Step 3 Responses for mesothelioma lawsuit:
After the filing of mesothelioma lawsuit, each defendant receives a copy of your complaint and has a chance to respond. Because there are likely many years that have passed since you were exposed to asbestos and got mesothelioma, the responsible company could now possibly be closed, bankrupted or changed owners, and hence would take time to locate and provide the appropriate people with your complaint. Once served with a copy of your complaint, each mesothelioma lawsuit defendant has usually 30 days to respond. Most likely the mesothelioma case defendants will deny your claims instead of admitting fault and will argue that your complaint is not valid and that someone or something else is responsible for your asbestos exposure. Your mesothelioma attorney will reply to each mesothelioma lawsuit defendant's responses.
What to Expect from Mesothelioma Lawsuit Defendant Responses
They may allege that:
• Smoking, drinking or drugs caused the mesothelioma health problems.
• Your family history shows similar mesothelioma health problems
• You worked at other places where asbestos exposure was a bigger problem to cause you mesothelioma .
• The mesothelioma lawsuit was not filed correctly.
• You were exposed to asbestos in your own home, not just at work that causes you mesothelioma.
• Your medical condition is not related to asbestos exposure causing mesothelioma .
Do not take these allegations seriously and let your mesothelioma attorney handle the responses.
Step 4 Discovery Mesothelioma Lawsuit:
Next step is discovery. During discovery, mesothelioma lawyers on both sides gather information about your mesothelioma claims. Both sides may ask the other to answer written questions, produce documents and participate in depositions. Some of this information may be used as evidence at trial. Discovery may take several months, but in case you are in a serious condition then the mesothelioma attorney can ask the court to speed the process before worsening of your mesothelioma condition. The mesothelioma defendant's will look for evidence that something or someone else has caused your illness and hence will demand very personal information about you like your medical history, work history and information about your personal habits. They may also ask information from your loved ones, doctors, present and former co-workers. Throughout the process your mesothelioma attorney will prepare your case and guide you during the deposition. In addition to helping you respond to discovery requests, your mesothelioma lawyer will also make similar demands to the mesothelioma defendant for information that may support your claim that it was the negligence on the part of the defendant to expose you to asbestos.
Step 5 Mesothelioma Settlement:
A mesothelioma defendant may offer to solve the case by offering you money before the trial starts. This mesothelioma settlement offer may be very low. In case you decline the offer, it's possible that you may be given another mesothelioma settlement offer during trial. Your mesothelioma attorney will negotiate on your behalf.
Step 6 Trial Mesothelioma lawsuit:
The trial process varies depending on where your mesothelioma lawyer filed your lawsuit. In many mesothelioma lawsuit cases, you may not have to appear in court and in case you win mesothelioma lawsuit and the defendant does not appeal, then you will start receiving the mesothelioma settlement payments a few months after the trial.
Step 7 Appeal:
If you win the mesothelioma lawsuit trial, the defendant may decide to file an appeal during the limited amount of time that is given to file an appeal, usually between 30 to 180 days. If the mesothelioma lawsuit defendant loses its appeal, you will start receiving mesothelioma settlement payments and if the appeal in successful then the defendant may end up paying a small amount or nothing at all. If your case is appealed, your attorney will be available to explain the process to you.
How long is the Mesothelioma lawsuit process?
In you are in poor health, as is often the case with asbestos-related medical situations, the mesothelioma attorney may request to speed up the entire mesothelioma legal process. However, if there is no emergency, then the process may take several months or longer. In either case, the mesothelioma lawsuit defendant probably will try to drag you out of the process. It's the responsibility of your mesothelioma attorney to resolve the case as soon as possible, handling each step with so you can focus on your health and spend time with your family.
Do I Need to Travel for Mesothelioma Lawsuit?
Your mesothelioma attorney will help you choose the most favorable court for your case, which may be outside the state where you live. However, you will still not need to travel because your mesothelioma attorney will be handling the entire case process and will travel to you if necessary.
Choosing Your Mesothelioma Attorney
The first step for successful mesothelioma lawsuit filing process is choosing a mesothelioma attorney since your mesothelioma attorney will prepare and file the necessary documents to start your mesothelioma lawsuit. Your case will be strong if you work with someone who is an experienced asbestos and mesothelioma attorney. A mesothelioma Attorney is important because the corporation you works for might have closed or bankrupted and hence a mesothelioma attorney can only help you file a mesothelioma claim in the right way. Moreover, mesothelioma attorney is familiar with asbestos manufacturers and will help you determine who is responsible for your mesothelioma. It's necessary to hire a mesothelioma lawyer with whom you are at ease communicating because you may need to discuss your past history, medical health condition, family history and present health problems.
Paying Your Mesothelioma Attorney
Most mesothelioma lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means that the mesothelioma attorney gets a percentage of the total amount that you agree to in a mesothelioma settlement of the amount you win from your mesothelioma lawsuit settlement. If not, then you pay no mesothelioma attorney fees.
Big Mesothelioma Verdicts:
2003- Roby Worthington, former employee of U.S. Steel, won a $250 million verdict.
2006-David Bakkie, who was exposed to asbestos while working as a plastic moulder from 1974 to 1975 and was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2005, won a jury award of $18.5 million.
2007-The family of former U.S Navy machinist mate Richard Walmach was awarded $5.1 million after he died from mesothelioma in 2006.
2012- Bobbie Izell, a construction worker exposed to asbestos on construction sites in 1960s and 70s and diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2011, was awarded $48 million.

Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the snap peas in the boiling water until they are cooked but still crunchy and then immediately plunge them into the salted ice water. Remove them from the ice water and reserve.
Coat a large saute pan with olive oil. Add the ginger, garlic, and scallion and cook over medium-high heat until scallions are soft and translucent.
Add the sugar snap peas and toss to coat in the oil. Add the spinach and toss with the peas until spinach starts to wilt. Remove from heat, season with salt. Toss or stir the spinach to finish wilting and transfer to a serving bowl.

|1,380 sq ft
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|30 nights
You may never have an opportunity to live this close to the tropical waters of the Gulf of Mexico. No other condominium on Bonita Beach has been built as close to the shoreline as Hickory Shores, where we enjoy the largest two bedroom apartments on the beach with 1380 square feet. This unit is on the second floor so you can cast for grouper right from your balcony and fall asleep listening to the waves. The sunsets are gorgeous with views to Captiva on the north and Naples on the south. The white sand and shelling are among the best in the world.
This two bedroom condo was completely renovated in 2014 with bleached white hard wood floors, granite kitchen, marble baths and raised ceilings. The beach views begin when you walk in the front door. Two newly renovated full bathrooms complete with marble tile and quartz topped vanities, LED TV and brand new HVAC add to the comfort of this very casual condo. Just bring your bathing suit. There are plenty of books and if you need more, check the shelves in the community room. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and walk-in closet. The master bathroom also has views of the beach. The guest bedroom has two beds and walk-in closet. The association has a heated pool and large recreation room with restrooms. Stay in contact with loved ones with wireless internet.
Come relax, kick off your shoes, walk the beach, and gaze out at the beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico.
Keywords: Condominium
We have been enjoying Hickory Shores since the 80's and now call it home.
Kathi Lewis purchased this condo in 2005
We have owned the property next door to this one for twenty five years. We love the beach, the warm weather, the building and the views. You do not have to walk through a stuffy lobby to get to the beach, just down one flight of stairs or the elevator right outside your door. This building has the largest two bedroom units on Bonita Beach. There is no condominium building in Bonita or Naples closer to the beach than this one.
In the summer months we feel like we have the entire Bonita Beach to ourselves. It is a lovely time of year. The summer beach breezes are heavenly.
The owners outdid themselves renovating this condo. We have stayed here before and now feel like we are checking into a glamorous resort when we enter this condo. Great amenities like recessed lights on dimmers, the new LED TV, granite counters, pristine bathrooms and a Keurig coffee maker. We love this spot even more now. Totally relaxing.
Very nice place where to stay. Few steps to the beach.Owners very kind and helpful. The condo newly remodelled with plenty of towels, dishes and glassware. It would be great if the appliances (dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer) were freshen up. We recommend this place in this beautiful area of Florida !
We had a great vacation in this beautiful condo. We loved everything about it from the spectacular view that you experience from the moment you walk in the door to sitting on the balcony watching the incredible sunsets in the evening. The heated pool was a perfect size and we used it often although there were rarely other people there.
The condo was totally modern and the furniture comfortable and attractive and we loved the marble bathrooms. We're looking forward to coming back!
Located right on Bonita Beach, with a lovely 5 mile beach to walk. Drive north to secluded beaches and the famous dog beach. Boat rentals available across the street to cruise the scenic bays to Naples or Ft. Meyers.

Lamination is a process of covering something usually in plastic for durability. For furniture, they usually work for pseudo-wood materials commonly for flooring or as wood tiles. Laminations help preserve wood and makes thin pieces become sturdier. Ideal for table tops or wall accents, laminates provide an organic feel to your space. They also cost less than going for all wood options.
Laminates are also usually more durable and easier to customize, thus, allowing you to design freely while optimizing the amount of time required to build the piece of furniture your require. If you're looking for a material that offered both style and function without breaking the bank, laminates can be good alternative for most wood based furniture.

text: I'm currently on 4.0, upgraded via kongsnutz's method. I have IOS249, IOS60 and IOS61 installed. I've got an odd issue. I noticed that I had a VC game, Super Metroid, which I legally purchased and downloaded through Nintendo, that wouldn't copy to my SD card. When I hit Move, it worked, then gave me the error that "The data may not have been moved." As Super Metroid was a small game, I didn't worry about it. I later found I had another game that was WAD-installed and took up a lot more space with the same issue. When I couldn't move it, I attempted to Erase it. The Wii promptly locked up- it kept spinning as if it was deleting for a half hour, and I could move the wiimote, but I couldn't do anything to stop the process. I eventually had to pull the plug. When the Wii came back up, the game was gone from the menu. I went to the Channel management screen, but the icons never load and if I back up it freezes with a black screen. I went into WAD Manager, and tried to uninstall through it. It said "Deleting title...OK!" then "Deleting contents..." and locked up there. Had to hard reset. Same thing happens if I try to go to the SD card menu. It tries to load data from the SD card indefinitely. I know it's not a problem with the SD card being corrupted because I tried another card, same result. I'm guessing the VC title isn't fully uninstalled and preventing the menu from loading. I can still play all my games, go into the shop channel, launch homebrew channel...how can I fix this? Formatting isn't an option as I'd lose homebrew :/ Thanks!

Psalm 107
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, those he redeemed from trouble
and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to an inhabited town;
hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress;
he led them by a straight way, until they reached an inhabited town.
Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to humankind.
For he satisfies the thirsty, and the hungry he fills with good things.
1 Corinthians 8:1- 13
Now concerning food sacrificed to idols: we know that "all of us possess knowledge." Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. Anyone who claims to know something does not yet have the necessary knowledge; but anyone who loves God is known by him.
Hence, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that "no idol in the world really exists," and that "there is no God but one." Indeed, even though there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as in fact there are many gods and many lords— yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
It is not everyone, however, who has this knowledge. Since some have become so accustomed to idols until now, they still think of the food they eat as food offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. "Food will not bring us close to God." We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. For if others see you, who possess knowledge, eating in the temple of an idol, might they not, since their conscience is weak, be encouraged to the point of eating food sacrificed to idols? So by your knowledge those weak believers for whom Christ died are destroyed. But when you thus sin against members of your family, and wound their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if food is a cause of their falling, I will never eat meat, so that I may not cause one of them to fall.

Running-Advice.com -- Marathon Running Information, Coaching and Advice from Coach Joe English
Whether you are new to running or just confused by terms like "speed workouts" and "tempo runs", this series of articles is for you. We've distilled some of the most important terms related to running workouts, paces and lingo related to the track into a series of three short articles. Here in part I we tackle the different types of long-distance running workouts.
Long-distance Running Terminology Part I — Types of Workouts
By Coach Joe English
with Coach Dean Hebert
(C) 2010 Running Advice and News
Runners build fitness by doing a variety of different workouts. No matter whether they are training for their first 5K or to trying to qualify for the Olympic Marathon, a workout plan built on a variety of different types of workouts makes runners faster, more efficient and keeps them progressing toward their fitness goals.
Just like a diet built of many different foods will help provide the many different kinds of nutrients that we need to stay healthy, providing the body with a variety of different running workouts helps make a stronger and healthier runner. And, to take the analogy one step further, doing the same workouts over and over leads runners down a path toward diminishing returns. Too many runners force-feed themselves with a steady diet of slow miles run every day and this is like eating junk food for lunch every day – it yields little in the way of nutrition or happiness in the long-run.
What follows below is a description of several types of run workouts and their place among the "diet" of the healthy runner. Building a training plan should be viewed like putting together a puzzle. As you place each workout into the puzzle, eventually the picture of a runner comes into place. What that runner looks like depends on the puzzle pieces – which are the number, length and intensity of the workouts themselves.
Types of Running Workouts
There are eight types of workouts for long-distance runners that we've identified in the list below. For the most part, runners should aim their efforts at those workouts that we would classify as "quality" workouts — Quality (or speed workouts), Tempo Runs, Goal Paced Runs, Strength Workouts, and Speed-play or Agility work. These workouts produce the biggest pay-off in terms of fitness and improvements in speed.
Quality Workouts (AKA: speed workouts) – Quality Workouts (also called "Speed Workouts" by many) are fast running workouts made up of short "intervals" of time spent running with rest periods in between to allow the runner to recover. By keeping the distances short, the runner is able to run faster than they would run over a long distance. These workouts are short and to the point. They should be done at a hard effort to get the most value out of them, but runners should strike a balance on their pace here. The best way to pace speed workouts is to aim for a pace that you can maintain from the start to the finish of the workout without slowing down within the interval itself or between the intervals at the start and end of the workout. (See further notes below on mile, 5K and 10K pace.)
Goal Paced Runs – The goal paced run is perhaps the most important run of the week for those runners who have time goals at a particular distance. As their name implies, this is the workout in which the miles are run at the pace they will be run during the race for which they are training. The pace should be within 10 seconds per mile (plus or minus) of the goal pace for a particular race. Running miles at goal pace builds "muscle memory" through repetition, allowing the runner to feel comfortable at their target goal pace. Typically marathon runners will run up to 18 miles at their goal pace a few weeks before the race and then will come into the race with a confidence that they know their pace and can make it happen on race day.
Long/slow Distance Runs – While many workouts are aimed at improving speed and strength the "long/slow distance" run is intended to do just one thing: log "time on feet". Take these runs slowly, because the benefit comes from the amount of time spent out practicing running. The pace of these runs should be about 1 minute to 1 ½ minutes per mile slower than goal pace. Rushing through a long/slow distance run takes away time that should be spent lengthening workouts, so these workouts can include rest breaks and even time spent chatting with other runners while running. Prior to a marathon the longest run in this category might be 20 miles for most runners, with some walkers or more advanced runners doing as much as 22 miles. The longest of these runs should be no less than three weeks prior to a marathon to allow adequate recovery time.
Tempo Runs – Tempo runs are perhaps the most uncomfortable running workout, but they yield enormous benefits to a runner's fitness. The tempo run is a hard effort that is sustained for approximately 20 minutes in most cases. The pace of the tempo run is "comfortably hard", which translates to something that is slower than a speed workout and faster than a goal paced workout. A tempo run may sound short on paper at 20 minutes, but should leave the runner tested and fatigued if done fast enough. Needless to say, without the proper impetus, runners often don't push the pace hard enough in a tempo run to get the benefit out of it.
Strength Workouts – Some running workouts are designed to push both the cardio-vascular system and stress the power producing muscles at the same time and these are often referred to as "strength workouts". This type of workout would include hill repeats, in which a speed workout is done by running up hill. Strength workouts can also include intervals done on a track with a burst of speed up a set of stadium stairs at the end or other similar activities. Think of these workouts as push-ups and sit-ups for the runner (and at times they may include those as well).
Speed-play, Fartlek and Drills – Building athleticism, flexibility and strength can be very beneficial to runners, especially to marathon runners who need strength as they fight the fatigue of late marathon miles. Speed-play and Fartlek workouts are more akin to games played while running. The Fartlek – the funny name is Swedish – is a game in which a group of runners runs together and one runner picks up the pace for a few minutes or seconds and everyone else needs to try to keep up. The pace goes up and down, up and down. These workouts are a lot of fun. Drills on the other hand are usually done at the end of a workout and will include bounding, skipping, leaping and side-to-side running to build athleticism and dexterity.
Recovery – Sometimes an easy run after a particularly punishing workout can help speed the recovery of the runner. These easy paced workouts are meant to be a mental and physical warm-down the day after a tough run. Leave your watch at home and just enjoy the break from more intense workouts on these days, but don't do them too often. Most runners should have no more than one very easy recovery run per week. They should instead focus on the higher quality of the speed and goal paced workouts that we've already described.
Junk Mileage – Miles run with no purpose, time goal and no real intensity can be lumped into what we call "junk mileage". Unfortunately, many runners do almost exclusively junk miles in their training. The goal for budding runners is to move miles out of the junk column and into the other types of higher intensity runs that we've described here. A good test here to ask yourself if the run falls into any of the above categories (quality, tempo, goal paced, etc.) and if the answer is no, the workouts is likely junk mileage.
In the next section of this article, we'll define the paces at which each type of run should be practiced to get the most benefit from the workout.

The McBassi People Index® (MPI) is an intensively-researched employee survey designed to create actionable business intelligence by measuring a variety of people-related factors throughout an organization and using the information to rigorously identify the human drivers of business results. It incorporates all key McBassi survey/analytics principles.
The MPI consists of an array of specific people management items, each of which has been found to be a strong predictor of key organizational outcomes (both financial and non-financial). Each item corresponds to be separate question in the employee survey.
This makes it possible for clients to leverage the underlying power of what resembles a traditional employee engagement survey, first by using the survey to tap the wisdom of the organization's workforce, and second through the application of McBassi analytics to identify the specific factors driving their unique business results.
While the MPI takes the standard form of an employee survey, it actually goes far beyond, measuring not just engagement, but also a variety of factors that are typically omitted from such surveys: processes, hiring practices, informal learning, etc. Its content and structure are designed to ensure the results can be used in the analytics and reporting processes that generate the greatest value for an organization.
The survey consists of approximately 60 questions and is usually administered online in a manner designed to guarantee respondents' confidentiality. MPI content is designed to measure and quantify employees' views on an organization's work, leadership, and learning environments (as well as "outcomes" such as employee commitment, intent to stay, and support for customer service). Each of these three environments is further broken into subcategories, as indicated in the graphic below.
After the close of an MPI survey, results are then compiled and analyzed by McBassi to determine organizational strengths and weaknesses, broken down by various subunits (business units, departments, locations, manager groups, etc.), and to identify which of the specific factors are driving key outcomes (those measured within the survey as well as external measures such as financial results or turnover, when desired by the client). All MPI results are presented to clients using McBassi's carefully-designed reports, clear, graphical, and easy-to-understand.

Cespedes' return lifts A's
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland Athletics knew they missed slugger Yoenis Cespedes while he was on the 15-day disabled list, nursing a sore left hand.
Cespedes reminded them just how much Sunday in his first game since April 12, hitting a game-tying, two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth and leading them to a 9-8 victory in 10 innings over the Baltimore Orioles.
"We need him," said A's outfielder Seth Smith, who hit a two-run shot in the seventh. "I've been in situations where good players have gone down before, but he's different. He's a different animal in this lineup. We need him in there. It was obvious today."
The A's went 4-10 while Cespedes was on the DL and had lost three straight to the Orioles. They appeared headed for their ninth loss in their past 10 games before Cespedes forced extra innings. With Derek Norris on first after a leadoff single, Cespedes pulled the A's even at 8-8, hammering reliever Brian Matusz's 1-2 changeup into the left-field seats with one out for his fourth home run of the season.
"I felt so happy," said Cespedes, who went 2-for-5. "My real goal is to try to stay healthy all year to help the team the most I can."
After reliever Jerry Blevins retired the Orioles one-two-three in the top of the 10th, the A's won it in bizarre fashion in the bottom of the inning, pushing the winning run across with a single, two sacrifice bunts and two throwing errors.
Eric Sogard lined a leadoff single off Pedro Strop and moved to second on Adam Rosales' sacrifice bunt with Strop throwing wildly to second. Then Coco Crisp bunted on his own, looking for a base hit. Third baseman Manny Machado fielded the bunt but threw wildly to third past J.J. Hardy and into left field for an error.
Sogard dove head first into third and stayed on the ground as the ball rolled away. With third base coach Mike Gallego waving him home and his teammates screaming for him to get up and run, Sogard got up and raced home to score the winning run.
"Going in head first, I couldn't really tell what was going on," Sogard said. "I was trying to read the crowd, whether I was safe or out. Sure enough I looked up at (Gallego) and he's waving me. I look up and see the ball rolling in the outfield. Decided to take off. I had a little breather there for a second, which was nice, because I needed it."
The Orioles had lost 16 of their past 19 games at Oakland before winning three of four this time. They had a chance to sweep a four-game series in Oakland for the first time since 1987 and just the second time in franchise history but settled for a series victory.
"Three out of four is good against anybody, especially at the start of a road trip," said Orioles first baseman Chris Davis, who went 2-for-5 with three RBIs and his ninth home run of the season. "We have to be happy with the three wins. This is a tough place to play. I'm happy with the way we swung the bats."
Cespedes typically would have faced Orioles closer Jim Johnson in the ninth, but manager Buck Showalter said he needed to give Johnson a day off after he pitched in each of the previous two games. Johnson has converted 31 straight save opportunities.
The Orioles battered A's pitchers for 15 hits. Nate McLouth went 4-for-5 with a double, scored four times and stole a base. Machado went 4-for-5 with a double and two RBIs. Adam Jones went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBIs.
Davis launched a solo home run into the right-field seats off A's reliever Sean Doolittle with one out in the top of the eighth, giving the Orioles a 7-6 lead. The Orioles added another run in the ninth off A's closer Grant Balfour as McLouth doubled and Machado doubled him home.
"I feel good about the way we played this whole series," Showalter said.
The A's had trailed 6-4 entering the bottom of the seventh. Considering the fact that the Orioles have won 102 straight games when leading after seven innings, the A's needed to catch up in a hurry. That's exactly what they did.
Crisp worked a leadoff walk against left-hander Troy Patton, and Smith crushed a one-out home run to center field, pulling the A's even.
"It had the feeling of the last week and a half or so where we've got down and gone away quietly, but it's amazing what a couple good at-bats can do for the team," Smith said. "Everyone kind of piled on after that."
Especially Cespedes in the bottom of the ninth, when he hit a low changeup off Matusz into the stands.
"I was ahead a little bit on that swing, but I hit it well and I knew it was gone," Cespedes said.
For Cespedes' teammates, it was just like old times, watching him come through in the clutch. The A's went 82-46 with him in the lineup last season and 12-22 when he didn't start.

Maryland Takes A Shot At Big Pharma With This Groundbreaking New Law• http://www.trueactivist.com
Maryland just passed a first-of-its-kind bill that protects patients by allowing them to pursue legal action against pharmaceutical companies found significantly increasing the price of life-saving medications. This has become a huge problem in the United States, where medicine and insurance has become a for-profit business rather than a means to keep people alive.
This bill passed with flying colors because of bipartisan support of the legislation, winning 38-7 in the Senate and 137-2 in the House of Representatives. Though drug companies are typically able to donate to lawmakers' campaigns to urge them to vote against measures like this, citizens' unrest with the skyrocketing prices even for off-patent drugs seems to have overrode any tethers lawmakers might have had to affected corporations.
The bill would allow the attorney general to file a civil suit against manufacturers that charge "unconscionable" prices for off-patent or generic drugs, which is defined as an excessive increase unjustified by the cost of producing or distributing the drug. The manufacturer can be charged up to $10,000 for every infraction and the attorney general can request additional information from the companies that increased the prices to determine if price gouging occurred.
"When a drug company doubles or triples—or multiplies by 50—the price of medication, it imperils the health and finances of patients and their families, and it threatens public health," said Democratic Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh. "The new law will give Maryland a necessary tool to combat unjustified and extreme prices for medicines that have long been on the market and that are essential to our health and well-being."

We develop all of our websites on the WordPress platform using the Genesis Theme Framework. Then we integrate vetted 3rd party plugins and customized functionality. The result is beautiful, mobile-friendly websites that are secure, flexible and built to grow with you, whether you have a new business or a 7 or 8 figure enterprise.
We always recommend using fast and reliable web hosting services from independent hosting companies – like inMotion Hosting (if you're just getting started) or WPEngine (for higher traffic, established sites) – for the best results for your site.
WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) that 74.6 million websites depend on. At the core, WordPress is a blogging platform and content management system. Anyone can create a free hosted version on WordPress.com, but there is much more to it than that. Businesses and brands typically develop on the self-hosted WordPress.org (you pay for your own hosting and custom domain) for complete independence and ownership of their site.
Since its release in 2003, 29,000 plugins have been developed and even more themes and 3rd party integrations have been created, to extend the functionality and capabilities of the platform. WordPress is most popular with businesses, bloggers and e-commerce shops because of it ease of use, flexibility and ability to scale gracefully.
WordPress Codex
The WordPress Codex is a community-driven resource center for all things WordPress, and best of all it's free! There you can find things like Getting Started with WordPress, WordPress Lessons, Creating and Using Posts, Site Design & Development and much more.
See the collection of our favorite plugins from the WordPress.org plugin directory. These are plugins that we have used and vetted to for security, code compliance and overall usefulness.
Both at Cultivar Designs and during previous professional lifetimes, we have worked with WordPress websites hosted under many different providers. Choosing the right hosting company is not always an easy task and usually requires considering many options as well as plans for future growth. Based on our experience, we have vetted and highly recommend these two options for both starters and pros.
inMotion Hosting
Just starting out?
We recommend inMotion Hosting because it is an independent US based company who has stellar service, support and performance.
They have award winning support and they are one of the top rated hosting services in 2016. Their shared business hosting provides free site/domain transfers to get off your old costly plans while providing unlimited space for you to build your dreams upon.
Is your business growing steadily or expecting some serious press?
WPEngine is the perfect pick for professionals where speed and reliability are essential, or if your website has high traffic volume. WPEngine is hands down the best solution for hosting WordPress sites for medium to large businesses or for those whose traffic is steadily growing or are expecting significant press or traffic surges. Your website will fly when you're working on the same platform that major players like Yelp and Asana are using.
Designing your site's look and feel starts with your theme. It takes a lot of time and energy to make websites look great, and that's why it's important to invest in a theme that will last. Not only are themes all very different from each other in layout and design, but also in quality of code and functionality. This is why we recommend proven and popular paid themes for both starters and professionals over free themes, minimizing risk and maximizing support.

Genesis Theme Framework is the ultimate choice for developing your WordPress design upon. It allows you to start with a foundation that is search engine optimized, responsive, up-to-date with HTML5 and secure. We create Genesis child themes custom for our clients, or start one of their many wonderful themes to choose from.

Many of the our sites require little to no maintenance when it comes to theme updates because the Genesis core framework takes care of all of the work, so you can focus on design.

Envato: CodeCanyon.net When we do purchase specialty plugins, we use the Envato Studio's Code Canyon plugin market. It's easy to vette plugins by amount of purchases, average ratings and by reading customer comments and reviews. We do not recommend everything in the market, but there are a few treasures we couldn't live without.

I spent last weekend down in London and whilst I was there I met up with Gemma & Zac for their pre wedding shoot. I'm originally a London boy and love the city so it's always a treat to go there.
I met up with Gemma and Zac on the South Bank for their shoot. It was a lovely sunny day – albeit freezing! We were all wrapped up warm though and we managed to get some great shots of the two of them looking loved up and cool by the river. The light was great and I got to play with the low sun on a few shots which gives them a vintage fashiony feel I think.
Gemma and Zac are getting married up in Yorkshire in March so keep checking back for a wedding report from their day.

I went a whole year without posting anything? Oh god I suck at keeping this updated D:
Soooo updates.
A Nameless Inheritance is still a project that is happening, the game is currently in the hands of people who are playtesting it, and based on their feedback… that will determine how much work I still have to do on the game 😛 Large game, so that could take a while for people to get through.
Ludum Dare – forgot to post, but I did enter the last Ludum Dare, kind of – I provided the artwork for Nightlight which Parsec created in Unity. It did really well in the mood theme and you can download it from that link!
And aside from that I have spent a lot of time prototyping some other game ideas, none of which has really reached far enough along for me to want to post here… but I guess it would actually be better to post screenshots of unfinished prototype ideas than… well, nothing, which is what I've been posting lately 😛
For the most part lately I've been working on a third person camera system and a puzzle/exploration game that I'm feeling pretty good about.
Here's an early screenshot of the first puzzle I made, a kind of Indiana Jones style stepping puzzle (graphics will change of course):
I've got about a half dozen puzzles coded, and a bunch more are planned out. I'll try to be better at posting progress on this thing whether it comes to completion or otherwise 😛

Coutinho is one of the best players in the Liverpool squad however their defence has been shaky and selling him could provide them with the cash that they need to purchase a few World class defenders.
Speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, Adam said: "This is what happens when you've got one of the best players in the world,"
"It's going to just see how long the Liverpool owners stay strong – can they afford to not let him go in the January window?
"I think if they're nowhere near winning the league, he will go."The money they're talking about - £120million – that's a rebuilding job!"That will buy them the four defenders and a goalkeeper they probably need."

The idea behind Guided Pathways is straightforward.
College students are more likely to complete a degree in a timely fashion if they choose a program and develop an academic plan early on, have a clear road map of the courses they need to complete a credential, and receive guidance and support to help them stay on plan.
If you're looking for the Guided Pathways Program Map Designer tool, you can find it here.
The 2015 publication Redesigning America's Community Colleges outlines the Guided Pathways approach to student success reformation. LBCC is proud to be one of the initial 30 colleges selected to participate in the Pathways Project led by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC). LBCC recognized that by revolutionizing their policies, programs, and services with a focus on the 4 main focus pillars they could improve student success and completion.
- Clarifying the student path
- Getting students on a path
- Keeping students on a path
- Ensuring students are learning
