Steel Poles—Past, Present and Futureby Ronald E. Randle, Meyer Industries, Red Wing, MN, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Innovations in the Design of Electrical Transmission Structures
When using steel pole structures, construction possibilities are limitless. Of all the options available, tubular steel structures provide the most versatility for transmission line construction. Two main factors account for the truth in this statement: First, within the industry, the manufacturers work hard to capitalize on the new and innovative concepts being marketed by its raw material suppliers. Second, the manufacturers have and continue to invest capital in new equipment and processes to keep their manufacturing plants modern and efficient.

KOREA - Actor Lee Byung-hun turned hard-line against the two female celebrities who blackmailed him, declaring uncompromising legal actions.
The announcement by the star's agency came along with a police request for an arrest warrant for the two women on attempted menacing.
BH Entertainment, Lee's entertainment label, officially announced, "We do not plan to go easy (on the blackmailers)."
"This matter has nothing to do with who the blackmailers are -- whether they are a girl group member (and a model) does not address the core of this problem," the statement added.
The two blackmailers turned out to be Dahee, 20, of girl group GLAM and a 25-year-old model who has only been identified by her surname Lee.
Gangnam District Police Station said it had taken legal action against Dahee and Lee on charges of attempting to threaten.
Dahee and Lee have been under investigation for alleged blackmailing of the actor to reveal a video clip of the three exchanging lewd jokes unless they were paid 5 billion won (S$6.15 million), police said.
The two women recorded the video on a smartphone when they were drinking at Lee's place last month.
Lee reported the case to the police on Aug. 28, and the women were arrested on Sept. 1 near their residence.
Police searched the women's homes and obtained the video, laptop and cellphones in question. Both women partially admitted to the charges, police said.
GLAM's label, Big Hit Entertainment, confirmed through a press release that Dahee was involved in the case.

Healthy spine and how to achieve it
Voltaire said:
''The art of treatment lies in entertaining the patient while nature does its work."
Have you ever wondered what the human organism means to you?
It seems that the average person who is the undisputed owner of their own body has a neglecting relationship with it, even though they are aware of the perfection that nature granted them.
It isn't until illness strikes that people begin to think about their body and grant it more than some random food, drinks and clothing without respecting the laws of nature in the process. If we only got to know our bodies a little better we would know that it is the pinnacle of precise planning and perfection of realization which always warns us and reacts and complains when it is neglected and abused.
Only a healthy body is beautiful and the beauty of the human body is estimated based on the relationship of all its parts.
The ideal body proportion and its form determines our physical appearance which must be completed by the nobility and beauty of the soul in order for everything to fall into place in a perfect mosaic of nature.
Nothing makes a man more powerless than when due to an illness of the spine he is unable to take care of himself.
When the conversation begins about illness of the locomotive system this is a sure confimration that the entire organism has been weakened.
Reasons for this are as follows:
Among the many diseases of the locomotive system the most common ones are rheumatism and the systematic illness of the bonding tissues. They are characterized by damaging in the bonding tissues which is the start of a pathologic process in the joints, the cardio-vascular system and other organs.
Over one half of all of humanity today suffers from various forms of ossification. It used to be an illness of the old age but today due to physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyles it begins to appear as soon as after year 35.
Ossification occurs by deposition of free calcium both around the ends of the bones and inside the joint surfaces. It deposits where the organism is the weakest, that is to say in the parts of the skeleton which suffer the least stress. Those are usually the lumbal and neck parts of the spine and knees.
The deposited calcium may form larger growths (osteophites) and in time becomes obstructive by irritating the roots of the nearest nerves. In the case of lumbar spondylosis in addition to the irritation of the nearest nerve it also causes difficulties in rising and movement and in neck spondylosis it is often the cause of unpleasant headaches, limited movement and stiffness of the neck and pains in the entire shoulder area.
Modern medicine has no cure for ossification. In some more severe cases the deposits may be removed through surgery but most people resign to this illness as an inevitable part of growing old.
In addition to physical therapy, massage and spa treatments which relieve some of the discomfort the patients are usually prescribed medication or shots which relieve pains but don't salve the problem.
The natural product biocataplasma offers a more permanent solution for these problems.
Biocataplasm is a completely natural product made out of herbs and organic compounds and essential oils
It is applied to the affected area of the body and through the skin it soon reaches the tissue under the skin layer and soon after the bloodstream through which the active nutritional substances from the cataplasm reach every part of the body and systems.
Thanks to its composition biocataplasm first detoxifies the organism and then slowly renews its biochemical regulation of the cells, regenerates the anatomic internal structures of the tissue and renews organ functionality.
The basic effect of the biocataplasm is aimed at dissolving the deposits formed on the ends of the bones and in joints and eliminates them through urine.
This nutritional biologically active product ensures the physiologically optimal functioning of the organism because it contains a rich assortment of aminoacids, mineral and micro elements, vitamins and such in a biologically active form.
Applied in:
Locomotive system diseases, specifically:
Biocataplasm is not applied for three weeks after cortico products, in cases of carcinomes, fractures and fresh wounds.
There are no known side-effects, however the so-called effect of recalling the illness course may occur which is famous in homeopathy as well as brief resurfacing of the pain.
In this case the rheumatic pains may reappear even in places where they hadn't existed previously. This simultaneously means that the product has finished the cleaning of the surrounding tissue and begun regenerating damaged structures.
During this period pains may intensify, however they will be brief.
The biocataplasm is applied to the affected areas and left to work for two hours, after which it is removed and the area massaged with a cream which is a part of the treatment.
The application of the product is done for four days in succession, followed by a break which lasts 10-20 days depending on your diagnosis and the stadium of your disease.
Length of product usage:
The phase of regeneration of the defense mechanism of the organism and the stable condition of the healthy organism depend on the starting condition of the body when the treatment had begun.
Time of the treatment is individually determined for everyone. On rough average improvements in stability and strength of the immune system is achieved after six months of treatment.
Experience has shown that after the stabilization a longer break can be taken. It is recommended that after the pleasing improvement of condition the treatment is repeated once to twice per year, in spring and fall, for the sake of detoxification and maintaining the ideal balance.
Prior to the application of the product you must have consulted one of our doctors for examination as well as providing documentation on any previous treatments you've had.
Is massage a luxury?
Touch, as a manner of evoking physical and emotional satisfaction is one of the oldest natural therapies. Touch connects us and is emotionally effective, it is gentle and warm and bolsters our mood, confidence, pleasure and overall stability of our organism.
Massage is the art of systematic body therapy using touch for the purpose of maintaining health, care and beauty of the body. The goal of every massage is to establish a balance and proper development for your organism's life process.
Massages stimulate and have a calming effect, they relieve stress, relaxes your musculature and gives you a sense of security, establishing a physical and psychological energy balance restoring your body's vital energy.
There are no to identical persons and therefore types of massages are different for everyone.
It is possible that the movements are the same, but their speed, strength and length differs individually.
Types of massages:
Therapeutically medicinal massage
Yumeiho massage
Ajeurvedic massage
Orang Malu massage
Awakening the senses using chocolate
Ampuku massage
Warm stone massage
Nature has given us many, if not all the answers. It is up to us whether we will accept, understand, unravel, adjust and use them.
Herbs have always played a vital role in human lives. They provide us with food, clothing and medicine and their scents also influence our emotions and thoughts, able to make a pleasant atmosphere.
Aromatherapy today is above all prophylactic method of maintaining a good physical and psychological condition, mellowing everyday stress and generally improving one's life. It is close to unconventional medicine methods such as massage, acupuncture and bio-energy therapy.
Using aromatherapy methods the essential oils quickly reach the bloodstream and disperse their healing powers throughout your body. The time of absorption ranges from 20 to 70 minutes which is the most important quality of aromatherapy and essential oils.
Just like everything else in life, the essential oils also have a good and a bad side. For most part they are extremely beneficial but some kinds may be toxic. You can use them in various ways, like a massage mixture, inhalation, refreshment of your living space, addition to beauty product, baths, saunas, food preparation, pet care...
You can use them anytime in any situation but it is extremely important to remember the basic rule of aromatherapy which is: QUANTUM SATIS, meaning "no more than just enough". You must strictly adhere to prescribed dosage because only one extra drop may induce a toxic reaction.
Body and health care
To be beautiful is to feel good in one's own skin, it is the main perquisite for a good social, family and love life.
In regards to beauty, everyone is equal to begin with but everyone should make the most of what their genes gifted them.
Based on what we use to care for ourselves is our overall beauty. If we properly care for our skin using natural products with no conservatives and artificial components our skin will be very grateful to us and provide us with pleasure and confidence.
An old Latin saying goes: "A healthy body stands on healthy feet"
This is more than enough to realize why feet are such an important part of our body both in terms of health as well as aesthetically. By practicing regular care of your feet you will grant yourself health and lightness of step.
Hands are a means of communication. Every day we give our hand to someone and accept someone else's hand because we have a need to touch and be in contact, tell a tale without words. Soft and cared for hands are a declaration of respect and self respect.

If there is one reason people are considering supporting former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney for president, it's because he's considered "electable," meaning he has a fair shot to defeat President Obama in 2012.
If there was one thing that hampered Romney's 2008 campaign it was the perception that he was a flip-flopper, a role which earned him the nickname "Multiple Choice Mitt."
While trying to present himself as a conservative, and even winning the endorsement of National Review, Romney was dogged by a very recent and probably very politically calculated switch from pro-choice on abortion to pro-life. This from a man who minced no words in assuring Massachusetts voters during a 2002 gubernatorial debate that he would "preserve and protect a woman's right to choose."
A more pressing issue for the 2012 presidential primaries is the national health care scheme passed by the last Congress. The plan that served as the model for Obamacare infamously bears the signature of Governor Mitt Romney.
Knowing that the Republican nominee in 2012 will have to campaign against Obama's landmark achievement, the president must be licking his lips knowing that a likely opponent of his will have to contort himself in an attempt to effectively campaign against himself. Voters would be sure to be reminded of another Massachusetts presidential candidate who also voted for something before he voted against it.
As of this writing, there is speculation that real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump is running for president. Considering that a reality TV star may be a presidential contender should tell us that the line between reality and fantasy is already blurred.
Like Romney, Trump had always been pro-choice until he thought about running for president. Now "The Donald," a philandering, casino-running, beauty pageant-owning egomaniac has gotten religion. Doing an interview for the Christian Broadcasting Network, one that looks more like The Onion than anything else, Trump is now telling us how much he loves the Bible, how much he loves sending people Bibles, and how great it is going to church.
So now it appears that Trump is doing what Romney has done for years, trying to convince us that he is not what he has always been: an empty suit who will say anything to advance himself.
Last week, a few reports surfaced on the Drudge Report where Trump, on separate occasions, labeled both George W. Bush and Obama as "the worst president ever."
Shortly after the 2008 presidential election, Trump called Bush "evil" and even though he supported John McCain, he felt comfortable with President-elect Obama because he would govern by "consensus" and not rush off to war in a bull-headed manner like Bush. On the one hand, this may only mean that Trump was one among millions snookered by the smooth rhetoric of candidate Obama. But on the other hand, one has to wonder, if Trump believed Bush was bull-headed and rash in going to war, what had he ever seen in McCain's character and temperament that led him to believe the Arizona Republican would have been any different?
Even though Trump has traditionally supported Democrats and before he supported McCain, he preferred Hillary Clinton, which might give us a clue about how "The Donald" feels about government-run health care.
Like much of the current appeal of a Romney candidacy, the reason conservatives seem to be giving for supporting Trump is that he has a chance to beat Obama.
But if Republicans choose Trump, what does that say?
It means that after a lifetime of supporting Democrats and Democratic causes, all a celebrity like Trump has to do is start saying a few of the right things and he suddenly has conservative bona fides.
Are Republicans and conservatives so eager to make a Faustian Bargain to regain control of the White House that anyone, regardless of all the evidence against them, will do so long as they read the right lines?
Time will tell.

04. The week that was an intense shift in thinking
Just the other day, I shared a post about 5 things to let go of this year. Five things that I realize that I don't need anymore. Five things that I need to release so I can move on. And, I must say, it's been quite therapeutic for me. It's been so effective, that I'm left feeling a bit confused and freaked out and excited. But mostly, a bit restless and confused. But, I have certainly gotten myself prepared forRead More

NREL Estimates U.S. Offshore Wind Development Pipeline Totals 15,650 MW
On September 29, 2015, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) released a new report detailing the nascent offshore wind industry in the United States. The report estimates 15,650 MW in the development pipeline covering 21 projects located in 12 states.
Key Details
- The 30 MW Block Island Wind Farm in Rhode Island has begun construction and is likely to be operational in 2016
- In total, 13 projects representing nearly 5,939 MW have achieved site control or more advanced development (see Figure 1)
- The bulk of the pipeline (9,711 MW) though is in early stages of development
- Globally, cumulative offshore wind capacity is expected to reach 11,800 MW by year end and more than 47,000 MW by 2020
- Future cost projections suggest technology innovation and maturing supply chains could drive a decline in offshore wind energy costs through 2020
While the development pipeline is noteworthy in size, nearly two-thirds of the capacity is in early planning stages. Full development of the pipeline will require successful deployment of early offshore projects and significant cost declines.

The July 16 going-away bash for the university's senior vice
president for administration was a typical Gene Sunshine
gathering. Serious business laced with lots of humor and
good-natured ribbing. Even the oppressive heat could not wilt the
spirits of the couple of hundred administrators, faculty and
staff who piled into the Hutzler Reading Room on the Homewood
campus to bid farewell to the man who has carried the financial
ball for the university for the past 10 years.
Many of Gene's colleagues were given large hanging name tags to wear around their necks, which identified them by Gene's nicknames for them. Among the bozos and bubbas (Gene's loving sobriquets, of course) in attendance were Baby Cakes (Vice President and Secretary Ross Jones), Kahuna (Vice President and General Counsel Estelle Fishbein), Knappster (Provost Steven Knapp), Snowball (Treasurer William Snow, who presented Sunshine with an exquisite watercolor of the Homewood campus), Lite Beer (Johns Hopkins Medicine's CEO Edward Miller), Burger King (Vice Provost Paula Burger). Even President William R. Brody proudly wore his nickname--Brodeman. Yet, conspicuously missing was a hanging sign for the guest of honor. Seems most folks just call Gene...well, Gene. Not, say, Sunshine Boy, or Sunny, or Here-Comes-the-Sun, or Sunshine-on-our-shoulder, or Sun-o-gram, or Sunspot, or Sunscreen, or ...Perhaps his colleagues at Northwestern will pick up the thread.
But as he fades into the sunset, all that's left to say is, All the best to you, Gene... it's been Sun-sational.

It's that time of year! And, as such, I have been perusing some fun teacher sites for ideas. Here are a few:
I have been thinking about making cute frames for student's work- what a fun way to highlight their hard work! Over at create * teach * share there is an easy-to-follow tutorial on how to make them. I plan to laminate them, only trimming around the frame and not in the center, so that the center will then resemble the look of "glass" in a frame. I have also thought about buying real frames at Goodwill but the free, fun paper frames will suffice for now.
Cute, right? Sarah, over at First Grader… At Last! has some sweet ideas and the fonts she uses are the cutest!!!
I like this idea from the teacher wife, Lindsey. I could make a similar booklet but gear it for each individual learner, tweaked for each kid's individual IEP goals, objectives, and current, yet ever evolving, needs. Cool, right? When each Resource Room student wanders in, which is invariably at different times, the student can first independently work on a page, which should only take a couple minutes, before moving on to other work. I already downloaded her idea in Google docs! Thank you, Lindsey.
Along the same lines, is a reproducible offered by Kimberly at Funky First Grade Fun, which has loads of neat ideas!
She also showed a very cute idea (above) that I first saw and stole from a crafty teacher in our school for labeling lockers or, in my case, student cubbies. I bought the paper at JoAnn's for 50% off and then used my teacher discount for a super good savings. Gotta love that! I hope to use each student's "personal paper" to coordinate other items (folders, etc.)
I am going to make a sign similar to this one to hang in our classroom. It is a good reminder for my students. And me.
Okay… off to school to work on some of these ideas!

Her Turn
"I knew when I started dating Bill that he was close with his parents, but I had no idea how close until after our wedding," said Sue, 44, who lives in Virginia with her husband of 10 years and her children from a previous marriage — Mark, 18, and Patty, 15. "My in-laws, Ruth and John, were thrilled when their only child finally got married at 42, so I figured we'd have a warm relationship. But we'd barely unpacked from our honeymoon when Ruth started trying to run our lives.
"Here's an example of the way she meddles in our marriage: When we bought our house a month after our wedding, we casually mentioned re-landscaping the yard. About a month after that Ruth called me to ask about the status of the project, recommending certain shrubs and mentioning the importance of marital compromise. As it happened, Bill and I had had an argument about what shrubs to buy exactly 48 hours earlier.
"Call me naive, but I didn't put two and two together until about six months later when Ruth repeated the exact language that Bill and I had used in an argument about chores. I confronted him, and he admitted that he discussed our fights with her. 'She asks me questions in such a nice way that I don't even realize I'm being pumped for information,' he said defensively. He refused to admit he'd done anything wrong, but I badgered him into promising to tell Ruth to butt out. He didn't keep his word and she didn't let up — so a decade later we're still fighting the same battle.
"Ruth is very loving toward my kids, but as much as I appreciate her treating Mark and Patty as if they were her biological grandchildren, I hate the way she undercuts my authority. Occasionally I ground one of the kids for mouthing off or not cleaning their rooms. 'It's mean to ground someone for a whole week,' Ruth will say — in front of them! She manipulates the kids to the point where if I don't give in to their requests for brand-name clothes or a computer gadget, they'll run to her for it.
"The situation is tearing us apart. I can control my temper only so long, and then I lash out, calling Bill a mama's boy and accusing him of loving me less than he loves his mother. We've stopped going to the movies, watching TV together, and having sex — all my choices, because I'm just so mad.
"But then the men in my life have always disappointed me. I grew up in a working-class family, the younger daughter of a mechanic and a bookkeeper. When I was 11 my parents divorced and Dad moved to California. We didn't hear from him for six years. Devastated by his abandonment, I grew really close to my mom, a hardworking, loving woman. A month before I graduated from high school Dad called to renew our relationship. We saw each other periodically until his death, 15 years ago. We got along, but I never fully forgave him for leaving."
"After high school I got a clerical job at a law firm, eventually becoming the executive assistant to one of the senior partners. At 22 I married Tom, a 24-year-old policeman, and I was happy until he had an affair right after Mark was born. I tried to forgive him and move on, but he cheated again while I was pregnant with Patty. After our divorce he married his girlfriend, started a new family, and basically deserted our children, just as my father had done to me.
"A year or so after my divorce a coworker invited me for drinks with her bowling team. Bill, the team captain, was a courteous, handsome man of 40 who worked as a supervisor in the city's parks department. We had similar interests in movies, music, and football, and I felt a strong chemistry. It struck me as odd that Bill had never married and still lived in his parents' house (though in a separate apartment), but I tried not to judge. Before we closed the bar at 2 a.m., he invited me to a Super Bowl party at his place the following week. I had a great time and even met his parents when they came by with appetizers. They didn't linger, so I thought nothing of it.
"Soon Bill and I were madly in love, trying new restaurants, renting movies, going to concerts, and sharing our hopes and dreams. Mark and Patty, then 6 and 3, yearned for a father, and I was ecstatic when the three of them hit it off. I didn't want more children, and Bill was fine with being a stepfather. Occasionally we'd all have Sunday dinner with his parents, and everything seemed normal. It never occurred to me to discuss what role his parents would play in our new life — or what boundaries we should set — because their behavior raised no red flags.
"My wake-up call came when we bought a fixer-upper about 20 minutes away from them, just weeks after our wedding. Bill was eager to do the renovation himself, but if he called his dad, who's very handy, with a question, the next thing you knew, the two of them would be at our house and John would be doing the work! John isn't bossy the way Ruth is, but he can be just as overprotective. And since Ruth pushes him around, too, he goes along with everything she wants. It upset me to see Bill treated as an incompetent child, but he shrugged it off, saying, 'That's just how they are.'
"Before I knew it, my in-laws were taking us out to dinner three nights a week. If we declined an invitation, Ruth would show up unannounced, casserole in hand. 'I thought you might be too tired to fix dinner,' she'd say, making herself at home in my kitchen. To this day, despite my constant pleas to Bill to cut back, we still have dinner with them twice a week. And twice a year they take all of us on a luxury vacation. We've gone to Europe, Alaska, the Caribbean, and Mexico — places we could never afford. I enjoy these trips, but I'm being perfectly honest when I say I'd be happier to take a modest vacation by ourselves. I hate feeling so beholden to them, but Bill and the kids love these extravaganzas, so I've kept quiet.
"Believe it or not, I actually like my mother-in-law. She truly cares for us, and she's a lot of fun at times. And I still love Bill. He's kind and good-natured and a fabulous stepfather to my kids. But I can't take Ruth's meddling anymore and I'm sick of being number two in Bill's affections."
His Turn
"My mother is not the center of my life, but I can understand why Sue thinks so," admitted Bill, 52. "Mom's the type of person who won't take no for an answer from anybody, least of all me. And Dad's in the same boat, so he's the last person who'd support me and tell her to back off.
"I'll admit that I downplay Mom's intrusiveness and tell Sue she's overreacting. But Sue is a dirty fighter, and she shares some of the blame for our problems. I hate it when she berates me, calls me a mama's boy, and rejects me sexually. Her behavior brings out my quiet and passive side, which just makes her angrier and confirms her view of me as weak.
"I've always been close to my parents, but my mom and I developed an especially tight bond because Dad, an officer in the Navy, was often at sea on training deployments. Mom couldn't have any more kids after me, so I was lavished with attention and gifts, a pattern that continues to this day. The downside is that they still treat me like a child. Dad isn't domineering the way Mom is, but he smothers me, too. When I ran into trouble fixing up our house, I wanted him simply to answer my questions. But instead he took over — and I let him, because that's just how it is with us.
"I never had a girlfriend until I was in my early 20s, and I was crushed when she dumped me after six months. I didn't date much after that. My life revolved around my job in the parks department, bowling, and my parents, whom I saw every day. I moved into the garden-floor apartment of their townhouse and stayed because it was rent free, large, and close to work. In retrospect, that was probably a bad idea — though we didn't eat or vacation together at the time."
"As a 40-year-old bachelor I longed to meet someone and get married. When one of my bowling teammates introduced me to Sue, I was instantly attracted. She's outgoing and gorgeous. I enjoyed her company so much that I asked her out immediately. I soon fell in love with Sue and her wonderful children. Being with her kids brought out my untapped fun-loving and playful side: I rode roller coasters with Mark, built sand castles with Patty, and taught them how to bowl. And the long talks Sue and I had made me feel truly understood for the first time. Sue complains that she plays second fiddle to my mom, but she's got it all wrong. I've never felt as close to anyone as I have to Sue.
"She's right that my parents didn't meddle while we were engaged. Unfortunately, Mom seized on my marriage as a chance to do things she could only dream about before — dote on grandkids, treat us to restaurant dinners, take extravagant trips. I've begged Mom to back off, but she doesn't listen. Besides, I love her and, at 82, she's not going to be around much longer.
"As for sticking her nose into our personal business, Mom is guilty — and so am I. After we got married I continued to call or stop by every day. She traps me into talking about our marriage by asking questions so innocently that I end up saying things I never intended to. Who knew Mom would talk to my wife about these conversations? Sue has every right to be angry with both of us, but especially me. I feel terrible about that. As for Mom's relationship with Mark and Patty, yes, she offers opinions and has probably been too free with money and gifts. But the kids adore her, and I just don't see Mom's involvement with them as negative.
"I really miss the intimacy Sue and I once had. When we're not arguing, there's no one I'd rather be with more than my smart and beautiful wife. I couldn't bear to lose her."
The Counselor's Turn
"In-law problems are extremely common," the counselor said. "They can linger for years, creating animosity between spouses, eroding trust and destroying intimacy. Left unresolved, they can ruin marriages.
"When Sue and Bill started counseling, they argued constantly; Sue felt that Bill was indifferent to her concerns, defensive about his attachment to his mother, and uncommunicative. Most distressing was her feeling of playing second fiddle to his parents. Bill didn't see their intrusiveness or their financial assistance as a problem, but he was upset that Sue withdrew sexually and emotionally.
"In order to succeed at marriage, spouses must separate from their parents and channel their emotional energy into their partners. For Bill, an only child and lifelong bachelor, this proved especially difficult. He had yet to 'psychologically individuate' — that is, he remained emotionally and financially fused to his parents, seeing himself in relation to them rather than as a distinct individual. Moreover, he had little motivation to separate, since they had supported him emotionally and financially into middle age. 'You basically added Sue to the life you had, when you should have built a new life together,' I explained. 'Calling Ruth or stopping by every day, accepting dinner invitations against Sue's wishes, sharing conversations the two of you had -- this behavior shows that you're as attached to your mother now as you were when you were single. And unless you change that, you could end up losing Sue.'
"Meanwhile, Sue exacerbated the strife by verbally attacking Bill, a tactic that put him on the defensive. Sue harbored unresolved anger and resentment toward her father and first husband, who'd both abandoned her. When Bill's behavior made her feel emotionally abandoned, she unconsciously turned that hostility on him. And she let the problem linger far too long, fearing that if she forced the issue, he'd choose his mother over her."
"Desperate not to lose Sue, whom he deeply loved, Bill agreed to set clear boundaries with Ruth. He told her that he and Sue were in couples counseling but didn't elaborate. He also said he no longer wanted to discuss his marriage. He scaled back the calls and visits, citing his busy work schedule. When Ruth issued an invitation, the couple decided together and responded in the first person plural: 'Thursday doesn't work for us' or 'We'd love to have dinner on Saturday.'
"Predictably, her son's distancing upset Ruth, and she complained to Bill about his infrequent calls and visits, phoning him at work and peppering him with questions. 'I hated to hurt Mom,' Bill admitted, 'but I had to save my marriage.' Ruth also griped to Sue about the changes in Bill, saying, 'Bill won't accept my dinner invitations without asking you first' or 'Bill never calls me anymore.' Sue and Bill didn't answer these comments, believing that if they didn't engage her in debate, she'd eventually back off.
"After about six months, she did. The couple now have monthly dinners with Ruth and John, and they alternate paying. They debated whether to continue the family vacations, but ultimately decided that declining the invitations would needlessly deprive their children of the opportunity both to travel and to enjoy their step-grandparents' affection. 'I do want them in our lives,' said Sue. 'I just don't want them to run our lives.'
"With Ruth neutralized, the tension and arguing decreased, too. I encouraged the couple to commit to regular private time without kids or parents — time in which they could have the long, heartfelt conversations that had been a hallmark of their courtship. They now schedule regular dinner-and-a-movie dates twice a month. They're also planning a trip to California, their first vacation alone since their honeymoon. Having regained their emotional closeness, the couple saw their sex life improve, too.
"Sue and Bill spent a highly fruitful year in counseling. 'I'm so proud of my husband,' Sue said. 'We've fallen in love again, and our relationship is better than ever.' 'Marrying Sue is the best thing that ever happened to me,' agreed Bill. 'I'm so sorry for all the pain I caused her.'"

I'm typically quite unprepared when it comes to Halloween. I'm not one of those people who plan their costume or even what they're doing on the 31st. This year I've come up with a few beauty picks which will make getting ready for Halloween a whole lot easier. You probably already have most of these beauty bits in your stash anyway! Think of this as the ultimate lazy girls guide to Halloween, you're welcome.
If there's just one must-have makeup item you need for Halloween it's black eye liner. It has a cornucopia of uses. Use it as lipstick, to draw spider webs on your face, create a skull mask or get the perfect cat eye look. I like the No7 Stay Perfect Line and Define liner in 'Black Shimmer' as the colour has a hint of sparkle to it. Up the eye game with a strong smokey eye like seen on models at Roberto Cavalli. Use The Joan Collins Misty Blacks & Silver Quad* to create a smoulderingly spooky look. Take the white shade and apply to the inner corners, then blend the darkest two colours on the outer edge of the eyes. The pigmentation of this palette is excellent and perfect for adding some glamour to your Halloween makeup. Pair the look with slicked back hair and nude lips. If you don't have nude lipstick, pat concealer over the lips. I find the Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer not too drying. For your base you could either go for the extreme matte look using something like Glo & Ray's Velvet Two Way Cake Powder*. You could apply this all over your face, brows and lips for a zombie-like complexion. Alternatively you could channel your inner Edward Cullen and apply the L'oreal Lumi Magique Primer. The luminous white base will give you a creepy alien-like sheen. If you didn't want to go for black or nude lips there is something very Halloween-y about a deep red pout. Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets do not budge once dried so perfect for fright night. Don't forget those talons too. Opt for an almost black shade if you're no good at nail art for a effortlessly simple Halloween nails.
What are your Halloween plans this year?

I invite my reader to share with me life at certain stops on the way. How can I forget when the 1976 senior class decided that we wanted our senior pictures in the yearbook to be in color, and the student council budget could not cover the extra $3,000 expense. That need triggered a first at CVI: a dinner-dance honoring the chairman of the Board of Trustees, Ralph M. Paiewonsky. I was responsible for this undertaking, which accomplished its goal of raising the necessary funds, and resulted in the class of 1976 being the first class to have photos in color in the yearbook.
Another unforgettable and embarrassing moment taught me a valuable lifelong lesson: I am not a drinker. It was carnival, and the student council had a real interest in the running of the CVI carnival booth. As a duly elected representative of the student council, I decided to go to the carnival village to keep an eye on things. To get into the carnival spirit, I began drinking crème de menthe and cream. It was a sweet, mild drink, and I was comfortable with it. Unfortunately, I did not leave a good thing alone. A female student saw me drinking crème de menthe and asked: "Hutson, why are you drinking that ladies' drink? Let me get you a real drink." She brought me vodka and orange juice. After drinking the vodka and orange juice, I decided that it was in my best interest to start heading back to the college campus. On my way to the bus stop, I sat on a bench in Emancipation Garden and promptly fell asleep. A few days later, another female student met me in front of the cafeteria and asked: "Didn't I see you sleeping on a bench in the Emancipation Garden the other night?"
After graduating from CVI, I went to Michigan, my first time away from the small islands of the Caribbean. I got a job with Michigan Bell as a management trainee, and started work alongside graduates from large, well-known schools. For quite some time, I kept asking myself: "How do I measure up academically?" After working with colleagues from some of these schools, however, I realized that at no time was I unprepared academically for any of my assigned tasks. I was able to reflect and whisper inwardly: "Yes CVI, you have done a great job. I can compete."
Finally, I reflect on a professor that I will never forget, Dr. Barac, who once said to me: "If you are to understand God, then you must be a god yourself."
Congratulations on your 50th anniversary CVI.
Alvincent Hutson is now Senior Vice President of Veritas Financial Partners, a financial services company, in Boca Raton, Florida.

Just doing a quick post from the vacation house we are staying in that is about an hour from Santiago. I am hoping that we get in some shopping this week and find some of the things that are not available in the south. We are about to go to the store and try to find some quick and easy foods for the next few days.
Traveling with a big family can be very entertaining. Between: getting off to a late start, trying to occupy little ones for yet another hour in the car, pit stops at dirty gas stations, passing drinks and snacks around all the luggage and trying not to make a mess, and of course the dreaded car-sick moments, you never have time to be bored. This is us stopped on the side of the road to let my youngest brother get some air to prevent…..well, you know.
Ironically, the notorious "dirty gas station bathrooms" that we usually avoid at all costs in The U.S. are probably the cleanest bathrooms in this country. There is a really nice chain of gas stations called Copec that runs up and down the main highway. I don't know where we would find bathrooms if these weren't here because most places don't have toilet paper, let alone a bathrooms, for public use. I think a lot of people here are used to using the tree prior to it being made into toilet paper if you know what I mean. I just realized that this is probably not the best post to precede a recipe, sorry.
Ok, hummus, that's what I'm supposed to be posting. Here's the recipe.
- 1 cup of garbanzo beans, cooked and rinsed
- 3 Tbs. olive oil
- 3 Tbs. water
- 2 tsp. lemon juice
- 1 Tbs. peanut butter
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1/4 tsp. cumin
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper or paprika (optional)
- Combine all ingredients in food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
- Serve warm or cold with crackers, chips, pitas, or veggies.
Hummus is really very simple to make.

That night at the Cap and Candle Inn the townsfolk gather in the common room to hear Barliman recount the news of the day:
"So after braving the Haunted Forest, saving the Reclaimers, killing the orcs, exploring the Mines of Karak, slaying the dragon, recovering the Horn of Blasting, and living to tell about it—the party returned to town."
"How'd they do all that?"
"How, you ask? Might and magic, lads. And teamwork, too."
"Aye. It takes a team, everyone with their special skills and role to play."
"So who's on the team?"
"Well, there's LeShanna."
"She's a filthy elf!"
"No! Not her, not that one. She's from— beyond the veil between worlds."
"Aye, she's the foreign sort. Stepped out of the moonlight, she did, right into the world! Fey sorcery, 'twas."
"She can ensorcel me anytime!"
"She's a witch!"
"A witch, aye. And whatever you do, don't look into those eyes unless you fancy spending the rest of your days in a dream. Those eyes…"
"So that's the good kind of elf?"
"You bet, son."
"Who's that guy she's always with?"
"Ah, Vinnemar? He's some sort of tree…plant…person. Like's to shoot things with magic arrows…Hmm…To be honest, I'm not quite sure what to make of him."
"A feast table!"
"As solid a beam as ever there was!"
"A right doughty stool!"
"Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let's not forget good, honest Baltric. Never was there a nobler mage wronged by fate. He survived the vicious iniquities of the goblin pits…endured the bestial prodding of the kobold pens…"
"I'll tell you what true magic is, friends: suffering that indignity and still having it in him to set foot in this common room to buy me a drink!"
"Hear! Hear!"
"Of course, no team is complete without heaven on its side: that's where Leorin comes in. Stern and proud, like a god himself. Very willing and very able to shine the light of truth straight into the infidel's eye! The best kind of priest!"
"The only good priest is—"
"We'd follow him into Hell itself!"
"Aye, though he can be a little pompous at times…and full of himself…"
"And then there's Lupina."
"Lupina like the flower?"
"Sure. But not the sort of flower you'd bring home to mama, boys. This one's got thorns. And the thorns do God's work, too. Sure, she's got fur; sure, she's more beast than man— "
"Lupina's a man?!"
"But I'll tell you what: if you ever saw a she-wolf defend her pups, you know how a little ferocity goes a long way towards keeping the family all in one piece."
"What about the sword guy?"
"Bishop? Well, that's what he's called. And bishop he may be—but a bishop of the blade. That one's out to right the wrongs of the world with sword and spell."
"He's the greatest swordsman in the land!"
"I bet Bishop could win a fight against any of the others."
"Oh? Against Arduin the Avalanche, the Ragebringer; called Orc-Slicer, Troll-Hacker, Dragon-Cleaver, Destroyer of Goblins; the Scourge of the North, the Bringer Low of Foulness Far and Wide; and the all-around badass berserker?"
"I heard he's into romantic poetry."
"Yeah, he's a big softy."
"Hey! Aren't'cha forgettin' some'un… hic!"
"Aye. Thom. The elf. "
"That lying cheat!"
"Right. But I guess every good party has its fool."

AS this election year reaches its calendar end, the final moment has come to assess George Orwell's ''1984'' against the political product. There was plenty of ''newspeak'' and ''double-think'' to go around - either side of the deficit discussion might serve as a proof text. Democrats may wish to cast a triumphant Ronald Reagan as Big Brother (amiable version); Republicans may judge that we have again been spared a further slide to ''1984'' statism.
''1984'' has become such a mine of popular political terminology that it is difficult to recover George Orwell's original intent. We tend to read the novel as a warning against them - Stalinists, left-wingers, right-wingers, fundamentalists, autocrats - but Orwell really believed the enemy is us, i.e., the concerned readers of ''1984.''
Mr. Orwell thought that the prevailing tradition for intellectuals was ''revolutionary,'' from Edward Gibbon to James Joyce. In seeking liberty from historical injustice, modern intellectuals unwittingly created the conditions for the absolutism of Big Brother. As the party interrogator O'Brien (no relation) explains to the hapless Winston Smith, the totalitarianism of ''1984'' is superior to all previous dictatorships in that it seeks power for its own sake. The modern intellectual tradition has been so steeped in revolutionary rhetoric that only revolution itself may seem moral - and there are always lots of apparent tyrants: capitalism, technology, sexism, bureaucracy, and so on. But revolution for the courage of revolution may yield to power for the sake of power: Both positions lack external moral limitation.
Was Orwell correct to take such a dour view of the modernist tradition? Perhaps. Modernism is rooted in a deeply anti-historical philosophy - that is why it is so revolutionary. Because we hold certain rights to be self-evident, we do not need the value test of history and experience. Historical institutions - kingship, class structure, established patterns of discrimination - are all subject to critique from what is rationally self-evident. No one would deny the revolutionary power or value of this sovereignty of ''God given'' rights. However, the anti-historical tendency can lead, says Orwell, to the total abuse of history practiced in ''1984.'' Not only does Winston Smith spend his days at ''the Ministry of Truth'' fabricating history, the society ruthlessly devalues all specific, concrete, historical aspects of human life.
The Democratic liberal tradition as represented by Walter Mondale has a powerful philosophy of rational egalitarianism on its side. The presence of Geraldine Ferraro on the ticket was itself a compelling symbol of a tradition which has sought to overcome historical prejudice. The Democrats spoke, so they believed, for those left out by history. All of this echoes some of the deepest and most respected political philosophy of our nation.
Ronald Reagan argued against government which he sees as a mere mechanism that should be reduced to a minimum. (In that he argues like the best liberals of the old tradition, e.g., Thomas Jefferson.) But it is not clear that the electorate believed he was arguing for unbridled individualism, as the Democrats claimed. His thematic appeal was to a sense of community which lies elsewhere than in the apparatus of the state. Reagan appealed to family, church, and patria as the governing value structures for society. If there are solutions to our social problems they should come neither from government nor from individuals, but from a common inherent goodness of the American people. Mr. Reagan's problem is that some citizens sense they are historically excluded from the ''proper'' faiths or families.
''1984'' rests upon a central dilemma of modernism. Orwell certainly did not wish us to return to the old society of historical privilege. The Democrats are correct, I believe, that various disadvantaged groups must enter into ''the mainstream'' of our common life. Their problem seems to be that the American people are wary of government solutions. Americans often see government as merely a mechanism, dealing with problems abstractly outside the rich historical base that defines our life in neighborhoods and families. Is the price of equality making historical differences indifferent? How can modern society provide equality and tolerance without making all values and histories a matter of indifference? That is the dilemma of Orwell's ''1984.''
Dennis O'Brien is president of the University of Rochester.

I've tried using wet acrylic paint ontop of inkjet prints before and as you can imagine it got pretty messy. The ink really reacts strangely to water and will change colors. Or is there a workaround that I haven't thought of to get prints that can be manipulated in the physical world. Thanks in advance!

Take an inspiring and eye-opening tour of one of the world's oldest and most enigmatic cities. Destroyed and rebuilt countless times over 5,000 years, Jerusalem's enduring appeal remains a mystery. What made it so important to so many different cultures? How did it become the center of the world for three major religions? Why does it still matter to us?
Jerusalem attempts to answer these questions by following three young Jerusalemites and their families – Jewish, Christian and Muslim. Through their eyes, learn what it means to call Jerusalem home and experience celebrations and events that mark the high points of a year in the life of the city.
Also follow noted archaeologist, Dr. Jodi Magness, as she explores some of the most extraordinary historical sites in the region in order to better understand how this region became a true crossroads of civilization.
Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, 12 Years a Slave), Jerusalem gives completely unique perspective of a part of the world that still captivates the imagination of billions of people.
"Jerusalem does what it sets out to do, taking viewers on a thrilling and unforgettable trip to a tiny city holy to half the world's inhabitants. It accomplishes the National Geographic Society's noblest aim: to reveal the wonders of the world to its inhabitants. And, yes, it gives Christians, Jews, and Muslims a glimpse into each other's faiths and lives." - The Catholic Beat
