The Honeymoon's Over
By Jayne Keedle/HealthyLife
Next time you go to a restaurant, take a look around and see if you can spot the couples who are courting and those who have been married for a while. If they're laughing and leaning in to talk to each other, making eye contact and feeding each other dessert, it's a good bet they're still in the honeymoon phase. If, on the other hand, they're focused on the food and saying little to each other besides "Pass the salt," chances are they've been together for years.
While there's something to be said for that comfortable silence, many couples wonder how they went from sharing intimacies to sharing little more than space around a table. Even worse is the moment when you look across the table and wonder why you got married in the first place. It's not that the marriage is bad. It's just boring.
Many people describe their marriages as dull. In a study published earlier this year, 88 couples — including one that had been together for 36 years — came up with about 70 different reasons for why their relationships were boring. In the study conducted by the University of Winnipeg in Canada, most complained that their marriages lacked fun, conversation and romance. Women, by the way, were more likely to say their marriages were boring than men.
"Many couples grow apart and find that their interests are different," says couples therapist Laura Tice of Karner Psychological Associates in Guilderland. "People grow and change over a lifetime. You have to make sure you keep doing things that nurture your soul, as long as you have that place where you come together."
People who feel their marriages are outright failing can usually point to specific problems: infidelity, for instance, or emotional or physical abuse. Under such circumstances, most people would feel perfectly justified if they decided to end the marriage.
Making the decision to walk away from a lackluster marriage isn't quite so cut and dried. Boredom doesn't usually top the list of reasons why couples say they decided to get divorced. However, studies show it can be a major contributing factor.
A study of 123 newlyweds conducted by researchers at State University of New York at Stony Brook found that people who reported feeling their marriage was "in a rut" after seven years of marriage were more unhappy and even less intimate nine years later. The study, which was published in 2009, found they were also more likely to get divorced.
"The majority of couples who come to us are trying to decide whether they should stay together or not," says psychotherapist Israel Helfand, who runs a three-day intensive couples retreat called Marriage Quest with his wife Kathy in Cabot, Vt. Recent clients have come from Troy, Schenectady and Saratoga Springs, all looking to find ways to reconnect.
"I think they're bored because they're not feeling appreciated, they're not feeling desired, feeling appreciated for their opinions, that who they are matters," says Helfand. "When people are stuck in silence they fill it with dark demons. It's important that people learn how to talk to each other about what they want."
Good relationships don't happen by accident. It takes effort and both people have to be willing to try to make it work. It's important to note, however, that problems tend to break down into three categories: mine, yours, and ours. People need to take ownership of their own issues before they can work together to create a relationship that works for both of them.
"Relationships are work," says Tice. "Our society gives us this notion that it should be romantic, but a relationship is like a plant: If you don't water it, fertilize it, give it sun, it's going to wilt. I think that it's really important to keep putting energy into the relationship."
Many people, however, have unrealistically high expectations that their partner should be able to fulfill their every need. When that doesn't happen, the tendency is to blame the other person for falling short.
"I have spouses that can give you the punch list of everything that's not good but when you ask them what they want for themselves, they're stuck," says Helfand. "Each spouse [has to] understand themselves a lot more and communicate that. When you can share who you are and what you want with your spouse, that's not boring."
Resuscitating a lackluster relationship isn't a quick fix; your relationship didn't change overnight, and so its revival won't either. In fact, the change probably happened so gradually that neither partner noticed exactly when the relationship stalled.
"In the beginning of the relationship, it's all about the relationship but over time other things come in," says Albany couples therapist Kim Ploussard. "There are lots of distractions that get people away from each other — homes, careers and children. A lot of people say we're too busy."
But though the kids and the house may keep couples together, often they start to forget what brought them together in the first place. "Couples don't understand that being couple-centered is not selfish; it's healthy," says Helfand. "When we lose our couple-centeredness and find other things that are more important, it's not a conscious thing but that's when we start leaving the marriage."
The stagnation sets in when couples stop communicating. It's not that you're not talking to each other, but the conversations that kept you on the phone for hours when you were first getting to know each other have been reduced to text messages about when to pick up the kids.
"One of the main [problems is] getting to the place where you think you know everything," says Ploussard. "They think they know what their partner's going to say. They stop staying curious and sharing how they're growing and changing together."
As humdrum as life may seem sometimes, it's never static. People always grow and change and if couples can share that experience, they're much less likely to get bored or grow apart.
"The number-one thing that couples who are in happy and engaged relationships say is 'My partner challenges me and keeps introducing me to new things,'" says Ploussard. "That's the thing that keeps them fresh."
Should You Stay or Should You Go? If you're on the fence about whether you should call it quits, try asking yourself the following questions.
- Are you choosing to spend more time with people other than your spouse because you're trying to fulfill needs that are going unmet in your relationship?
- Are your expectations realistic? "Most relationships can't sustain that early passion because that's not real life," says Tice. "What are you willing to give to get more?"
- Have you told your partner what you want and need and has your partner responded? "Very often our partners don't know what we need," says Tice. "Very often we don't ask for what we want."
- Are you willing to live with what your partner can offer and, if you are, can you live as a happy fulfilled person? "Sometimes you really have to work on your own issues to feel complete in yourself," says Tice.
- What's your deal-breaker? "It's important to know what's your deal breaker," says Tice. "If you don't have one, are you committed no matter what and what is your level of commitment?"
How to Get Out of That Rut
Don't expect your partner to know what you want. Ask. "If you are in a rut, be willing to rock the boat and ask for what you want," says Ploussard. Equally importantly, she says, pay attention and notice when your partner responds to your needs.
Go out for dates that get you out of your routine. Do something together that you've never done before — kayaking, horseback riding, ballroom dancing — or find a hobby that you both enjoy. You might also consider exploring each other's passions. If you've always been a golf widow, take a few lessons and see if you can't find a new way to link up.
Make a point to spend time together when you can really focus on each other. "You have to reclaim your romantic space in the relationship," says Ploussard. "That's often what gets replaced with other things. Oftentimes you stop treating your partner like a lover. If you want to feel like lovers, you have to behave like lovers."
Remember that no one person can meet all your needs. Pursue your own passions and do things that enable you to grow and learn as an individual. The less bored you are, the more you'll have to share with your partner. "The trick is to be interdependent," says Helfand.

Serves square-cut buckwheat pancakes with scrumptious fillings. Start with a gallette (savoury pancake), refresh your palette with a mug of cider, and then tuck into one of their sweet options – but good luck pronouncing the Breton (which is similar to Welsh) names of the pancakes! Try wrapping your tongue around Ar Poulgwenn, a pancake with caramelised banana and homemade spiced-bread ice cream.
The narrow café is low key and informal, with white walls, wooden tables and handwritten menus on blackboards. Popular with women catching up with their girlfriends and mothers. Children are welcome.
The young Breton owners are very amiable.
Just of Place St-Catherine in the northwest of town; a two-minute walk from St-Catherine metro station.

From 10 months old, my son would eat almost anything we put in front of him. So we fed him fruits, veggies, eggs, meats, pasta, cheese, etc... The SECOND he turned 2, it was almost as if his taste buds turned off and he stopped eating almost everything. The ONLY things I can get in his mouth are pasta, Mac and cheese, crackers, nutri grain bars, chicken nuggets, and grilled cheese Sandwiches. I've tried to supplement based on his preferences (whole wheat crackers and bread, vegetable enriched and filled pastas, and whole grain breaded chicken nuggets.) I put fruits and veggies in front of him at every meal and you'd think I was MURDERING him! Is this just a stage? Will he grow out of it? How else can I get healthier foods in him? HELP!!!!!!!!!

Here are a few things to note: 1) You want all dirty buffers for the media currently in the drive to be written out before requesting a switch, if possible. 2) You need some `fairness' algorithm to avoid starving anyone, but not switching disks in and out too rapidly either. 3) You need a way to forcibly unmount a file system for which the media is gone or broken. 4) Requests for disk changes should definitely go to the user currently accessing the disk(s) in question. This can be done with tprintf(). Note that items 1, 2, and 3 are also needed for proper jukebox support. I'd like to seen this done. Did I hear anyone volunteer? B-)

Study Finds that Mothers' Military Deployment Affects Health of Women and Teens
Posted: May 4, 2009 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am

Although separation of a service member from their family is always a hardship, for mothers of adolescent children, deployment comes at even more of a personal sacrifice. A recent study completed by Mason researcher Mona Ternus found that a woman's military deployment affects her health as well as that of her adolescent children.
Due to regional conflicts across the globe, such as wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the global war on terrorism, women are being deployed overseas in greater numbers than ever before. Women constitute approximately 16 percent of the 3.5 million members of the U.S. armed forces and 10 percent of present forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"War-induced separation impacts family life with unique stressors related to the dangerous aspects of deployment," says Ternus, associate professor and director of academic outreach and distance education in Mason's College of Health and Human Services and a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserve.
"Additional factors — such as new living arrangements for the children and fear of parental death or injury — exacerbate these stresses."
Ternus analyzed responses from 77 women who recently completed a military deployment and who were also mothers of adolescent children aged 10 to 18 years. Participants completed web-based questionnaires based on their experiences at varying times after return. The majority of respondents were in the Air Force and Army, and more than 60 percent of the women had been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Longer Deployment Has Greater Effect
Deployment served as a catalyst for health and behavior change of both mothers and their adolescent children — and the longer the deployment, the greater the effect.

Ternus found strong correlations between the number of symptoms women experienced during deployment — such as cough, headaches, joint pain, back pain, muscle aches, numbness/tingling, skin rashes, diarrhea, chest pain and difficulty breathing — and the number of days deployed.
"As a single mother of three it is difficult for me to find the time to care for myself, and the way personnel are handled in the military arena has caused me to seek care in the civilian sector for fear of being ostracized or jeopardizing my military career," comments one woman who participated in the study.
Making arrangements for child care was one of the most common stressors mentioned by participants. Ternus was surprised to find that, as a result of single-parent households or dual-military families in which both parents deployed at the same time, 36 percent of the respondents reported having no primary parent in the home during the time of deployment.
"My husband and I are both active-duty soldiers; I am a nurse and he is a chaplain. As we were deployed at the same time, it was extremely difficult on both children, as both parents went to war," remarks a participant.
"The most significant event was with my 16-year-old, crying uncontrolled on the phone, depressed. [It was a] truly helpless feeling being that far away and not being able to do anything to help."
Ternus notes that a theme emerged in which the military women expressed a great deal of guilt related to their absence from the home. Mothers commented on missing family events, the effect on caregivers who were supporting the family and the need to be both at work and home.
"They have grown up with both parents in the military. We were both deployed for Operation Desert Storm when the oldest two were babies. Occasionally, they refer to it and make me feel guilty about things I missed. My oldest daughter does this the most. [They] occasionally make comparisons to other moms. Of course, I am very different," says a woman in the study.
In addition, Ternus found that a longer deployment leads to increased risk behaviors among adolescent children, primarily with a drop in school grades, poor nutrition and decreased exercise.
Other risk factors such as non-accidental physical injury, physical fights, incidents involving weapons, tobacco use, drinking alcohol, illegal drug use, self mutilation and attempted suicide were exhibited in small percentages. Military women could often impact and mitigate these risks upon return, but the drop in school grades persisted over time.
"There are more than three million immediate family members of active-duty and reserve personnel, of whom approximately 400,000 are adolescents," says Ternus. "Adolescence is a turbulent period with an increased number of risk behaviors. It follows that separation from the military mother during these potentially dangerous deployments has an impact on the adolescent."
While 25 percent of the adolescents exhibited risk factors prior to deployment, according to parental responses, Ternus found that figure jumped to 75 percent during and after deployment.
"He [my son] has discussed the words 'suicide' and 'killing myself' on three separate occasions. He seems to detach himself from our 'family-time.' He berates his younger brothers constantly," comments a participant.
Women Committed to Their Military Careers
Despite the hardships and personal sacrifice, participants expressed deep satisfaction with, and commitment to, their military work and careers.
"I understand my children's fear of their mother dying. Chances are their peers cannot relate to this, as most children don't have parents whose main job is military during a time of war. However, I did validate my daughter's feelings and let her know that it must be very scary, but that I made the choice that I did because it was the best decision for me, and the best for them, and for the preservation of women around the world. I was fighting for the freedom of all people, especially girls of dictators whose lives are still not considered as valuable as a man's. Of course — and most of all — to protect the freedom of this country — to ensure their freedoms are protected. At the very least, I told her, 'Who else's mom could say they'd die for their kids and mean it?'" says a participant.
Ternus, who has been separated from her teenage daughter several times while deployed, empathizes with the women in the study.
"These military women believe in what they do. They believe in the mission. And what they believe in terms of their commitment and their work is very high. This is very much a personal part of their lives and a personal part of their own self-development that becomes a part of them," says Ternus.
"I am hopeful that my research will help to discover new ways that we can build family relationships even while people fulfill their military obligation, service and commitment to their country."
Ternus' study, "Military Women's Perceptions of the Effect of Deployment on their Role as Mothers and on Adolescents' Health," was awarded the Federal Nursing Services Award by the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States. This research was funded by the University of New Mexico; Ternus is continuing her program of research at Mason.

AM broadcast band transmitter amplifiers for carrier current
Low Power Broadcasting with Carrier Current
One item not covered earlier was the amplifier needed for effective carrier current transmission. Experimenters who might have a Part 15 compliant AM transmitter won't get much range in carrier current without a low power booster amplifier able to push a watt or two of RF down the power lines.
Basic theory for an external final amp is to first match the 50 Ohm output of the transmitter to the input impedance of the amplifying transistor. You do a little power management and then you match the output to the 50 Ohms for a typical transmitter output. Included here for your review are four amplifiers from two designers, ranging from 1 Watt to three Watts of additional power. These circuits are fairly simple and reasonably tolerant of various approaches but do have the onerous component of winding several coils.

Future looks bright for Suns guard Goran DragicPosted by Inside Hoops
May 24
In a Suns season that went very much wrong, Goran Dragic did a lot right.
He led the team in scoring (14.7), assists (7.4) and steals (1.6), setting career highs in each category. He also averaged a career-high 3.1 rebounds.
"I thought the first half of the season he probably was from about 15-20 in the rankings among point guards. I think he jumped probably close to top 10 in the last 41 games," interim head coach Lindsey Hunter said following the season. "Hopefully that will catapult him to possibly being an All-Star."
If Dragic can duplicate his second half numbers (16.1 points, 9.5 assists in 36 minutes per game) into the first half of next season, then yes, an NBA All-Star Game appearance may be in his future.
"Every player has his goals, including me," said Dragic, who had 15 of his 20 double-digit assist games post All-Star break. "My goal is to someday hopefully play in an All-Star game. That's my goal, so every season I try to get better and better.

Hello! It's been a while but I have a good excuse. Our family was in Costa Rica for nearly six weeks trying out life in the jungle. It was an adventure to be sure and we had a fabulous time but it's good to be home. We've been home a few weeks but already summer is officially over--school starts tomorrow!
On the book writing front, things are moving right along. The book will have four chapters focused on different sensory systems. Each chapter is at a slightly different point. Our process is Kristin and I develop the project. I make it and write instructions and she writes the introduction and reviews my work. Once we're happy, we send the text to our editor. She sends it back and I put it in the layout and add in all the photos. It's a lot of steps but, like anything, it gets done one step at a time.
For the Proprioception chapter I wanted to make sure our Heavy Hero project was going to work perfectly so I made it again and ended up redoing a photo shoot with my son. It was a really hot day to wear a weighted shirt but he got into the spirit. It's gratifying to see these projects coming to life and to be near the finish line on the book.
Is your child sensitive to or overwhelmed by different sensory inputs? Do they seek out sensory stimulation throughout the day? Has a therapist or other professional suggested your child would benefit from fidgets, weighted clothing, or other sensory soothing tools?
This book includes instructions for more than 30 projects. They range from simple tools that can be assembled in minutes to weekend endeavors where you can invest your time and love. The book also includes information about each sensory system and ways to modify the projects to meet individual needs.

This is a continuing care retirement community, which requires a buy-in fee""about 80% of which is refundable to the resident's estate at death. Residents must be at least 62 and able to live independently to enter. The facility, which was founded by the Sisters of the Holy Name, is Christian-based""although residents of all denominations are accepted. In 2001, it was expanded beyond the original mother house and modernized. Most residents are educated and well-heeled""solidly upper middle class; many have been successful businesspeople. The skilled nursing facility, Marie Rose Center, is very small""and not always able to meet end of life care needs for all residents""although there are now plans to expand and modernize it, too. There is always a waiting list""as the place has an appeal for many potential residents, even those from out of state. The original building, from the 1890s, is quaint and well kept up, as are the landscaped grounds. There's a chapel onsite. There is a very good activities program offering more than the usual array""including an arts program, university class auditing, and lots of outdoor activities including a hiking program. Residents tend to dress more formally than at other facilities""and most residents tend be active and involved with one another and serve on community boards and participate in local activities. There is not much staff turnover""and the staff is thoughtful and attentive to residents. The ratio of staff to resident seems adequate. The food is quite good""served in two dining rooms; one formal, the other a casual bistro. Several meal plans are available""all reasonably priced. And mealtimes tend to be active social events for the residents, most of whom seem to know one another well. The rooms range in size from a studio to villas, but all are nice. A lot of time and money has been spent on constructing them. The memory care unit is small""and there is currently talk of expanding that to accommodate growing needs. This facility is a niche for a certain type of person""wealthier and Christian; for others, it may not be such a comfortable fit.

Installing Self-Adhesive Vinyl Floor Tile
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
Shanna Barnes: hi I moving to a new place and the flooring is awful and im not sure how much I will need the total square feet in the whole house is a lil under 700 square feet please help and if I could get your wholesale website that would be great
LavNglam: Wow. I just checked your prices and I'm impressed. You mentioned smoothness as a factor in the adhesion of the tiles. Do you guys have any suggestions with respect to levelers to level tile with grout lines. I wouldn't want to get something that would not allow the tiles to stick once the floor is smooth.
mazerwholesale: Thank you for your question. The floor should be close to normal room temperature (60 to 80 degrees) during installation. After the floor is installed and the adhesive has set (24 hours), the temperature is no longer a concern.
mazerwholesale: Thanks for your question. The tiles can be removed without too much difficulty. It'll be a bit messy because they're going to leave a sticky residue. You will need to get a can of acetone from the hardware store to dissolve it. If you remove the tile the day after installation it will be easier than removing it a week after installation. The glue will set firmer each day for about a week.
Mead D'Amore: Say if I were trying to spruce up an apartment for filming purposes and needed to get rid of it after the project is completed, how easy is it to remove the self adhesive tiles after they've been laid?
mazerwholesale: Great question! The floor tile is not suitable for application on walls due to the type of adhesive used. It's not made for vertical installation. WALL TILE which is designed specifically for kitchen and bathroom walls! We have 11 great styles and a video. See our website for details and a video.
mazerwholesale: Thank you for your question. The grooves between the ceramic tiles are going to be a problem and will need to be filled. Otherwise the vinyl tile you put on top will sink into the grooves. Sorry, it's not going to work unless you get some floor lever.
followyourbliss101: can you lay this over existing 1 inch square tile floor in a bathroom or will it need to have leveling compound put over the old tile first?
mazerwholesale: In my experience wet mopping is fine but you want to dry after mopping. If the tile is installed properly (no spaces in between), you shouldn't have a problem with our product. Thank you for the question.
mazerwholesale: @SplogMan Thank you for your comment. Just about anyone can install their own self-adhesive floor tile. It's a great feeling of satisfaction to see the finished job. It looks great, it's cheap and lasts a long time.
John Moore: Cool Video. Good advice.
mazerwholesale: Thank you for your comment. I've never needed to use anything to enhance the bond of the self adhesive tile but I've heard great things from one of our repeat customers about Henry's 336 Bond Enhancer. She buys it a Lowe's and raves about it.
mazerwholesale: Thanks for your question. If your tile doesn't peel up so easily by hand you may need a stiff putty knife or razor scraper. If it's still really tough, you may need a heat gun or propane torch to warm it up to reactivate the glue. Before trying to remove the old glue residue, I would test a couple pieces of the new tile on the already-sticky surface. Let it stand overnight and check adhesion. If you're not satisfied with the results, you'll need to get acetone to remove the old adhesive.
five8italian: I'm going to be pulling a self-adhesive tile off an existing self-adhesive floor and lay down a new one over it. I have 2 questions. What is the best way to get the old tile up? and what is the best cleaning method to use over the old floor that exists and will have old adhesive residue on it? Thanks.
mazerwholesale: @oducavirus Thank you for your question. This tile is not recommended for walls. We have recently come out with wall tiles. they are designed as back splash tile for around kitchen and bathroom sink. They will soon be displayed on our website.
mazerwholesale: @BlueHen123 I've known many customers to use the tile as shelf liner. I don't see any reason you couldn't use it on a counter top. However, it's not recommended for back splash. The adhesive is not warranteed for use on vertical surfaces.
BlueHen123: can i use this on kitchen counter tops?
Jean Louise Kennedy: Very good video, thanks!
Mike G: Nice video, I actually live in Canada, and I was wondering if Nexus Tile Collection is here as well? I like that high gloss finish and thats what Im looking for, and I tried calling your 1-800 number and its not working. Thanks Mike from Canada
drumsmetalheavy11: Thanks, I needed that advise. Getting ready on to start my kitchen.

Group presents plan for $650,000 endowment
Sonia Rao | Wednesday, March 7, 2007
Plans for a Student Union endowment containing nearly $650,000 were presented to members of the Council of Representatives (COR) Tuesday night in LaFortune.
Student body president Lizzi Shappell said Student Senate drafted amendments that would allow for money from the carry forward account and revenues from The Shirt to be placed into an endowment used for student programming.
The carry forward account contains money leftover from various groups' funds, and The Shirt Project revenues are split equally between the Student Union Budget and The Shirt Charity Fund. The charity fund is expected to contain $943,000 by the end of the term.
Under the policy changes, the carry forward account should never exceed $100,000. Any amount of money over this cap will be invested in the Student Union endowment, Shappell said, which will produce "a very, very conservative estimate of $20,000 in revenues that could be reallocated by FMB [Financial Management Board] each year "
In addition, the changes would place revenues from The Shirt exceeding $300,000 in the Student Union endowment. Shappell said she felt this amendment would not hurt The Shirt Charity Fund, which has almost $1 million in funds.
The Student Union endowment would contain no less than $650,000 at any time, so "we would only use the revenues generated from the endowment … which are compounded quarterly," Shappell said.
The Financial Management Board will study the numbers to make sure they are reasonable, particularly concerning the amount of money generated by The Shirt.
"These numbers could change if FMB thinks it should," Student Union Board manager Patrick Vassel said.
Student body vice president Bill Andrichik said the Senate's Oversight committee would need to approve revised versions of the amendments and will meet the Monday after spring break to do so.
In other COR news:
u Junior Patrick Leimkuehler was approved as the successor to current Student Business Board manager Anna Sierra.
"Among 30 applicants, Patrick demonstrated to be the individual with the strongest aptitude to be the next Student Business Board administrator," Sierra said in a note to COR members.

Jilted lover betrayed Bitti Mohanty?
Former Odisha DGP BB Mohanty's son Bitti Mohanty, who was convicted for raping a German woman, managed to evade law for six years before he was finally nabbed by the Kerala police due to his sheer bad luck.
Zeenews Bureau
Thiruvananthapuram: Former Odisha DGP BB Mohanty's son Bitti Mohanty, who was convicted for raping a German woman, managed to evade law for six years before he was finally nabbed by the Kerala police due to his sheer bad luck.
It was reported on Tuesday that his arrest by Kerala police was the result of an anonymous letter sent to the bank where he was employed for past nine months detailing his real identity.
After investigation it was revealed that the letter was written by a woman colleague of Bitti, who was also his lover.
Till his arrest, Bitti was working with the State Bank of Travancore as a probationary officer 'Raghav Rajan.'
After receiving the handwritten letter, the bank lodged a complaint about him at the local police, which finally nailed him for alleged for alleged impersonation and forgery.
Though Bitti initially insisted that he is 'Raghav Rajan' but authorities were not convinced as the personal details he had given did not match up.
"Bitti had been working with the bank for seven months and claimed o hold an MBA degree from Kannur University," a police official was quoted as saying.
Convinced that Bitti had created a fake identity to hoodwink police and evade law, he was then arrested from Kannur in Kerala.
Rajasthan police also later confirmed that the man arrested in Kerala is the elusive rapist Bitti Mohanty, who jumped parole in 2006 after his arrest the same year for raping a German woman in Alwar.
He will now be taken to Rajasthan for investigations on how he managed to get certificates and documents in the fake identity of "Raghava Raj" from Andhra Pradesh.
The Rajasthan police had earlier set up three separate teams to travel to Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. "Bitty will be first taken to Rajasthan where he jumped parole in 2006. If need be, he will be taken to the other two states," said a senior police official, who did not wish to be identified.
Bitti is the son of BB Mohanty, a former director general of police in Odisha. He was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment in 2006 for raping a 26-year-old German woman in Alwar. He jumped parole the same year and had been on the run ever since.
He had secured the bank job using the name Raghav Raj and had documents that showed he hails from Andhra Pradesh.
Police said that Bitti has been identified, but his identity should be proven scientifically in the court, and for that Bitti and his father are likely to undergo a DNA test.
BB Mohanty was accused of aiding his son`s escape and was suspended but later reinstated. He retired in 2012.

The acceptance of something as true on a trustworthy person's word. It differs from faith only in the stress on confidence in the one who is believed. Moreover, belief emphasizes the act of the will, which disposes one to believe, where faith is rather the act of the mind, which assents to what is believed.


text: My wife got her car inspected and oil changed today. She has a 2004 VW Beetle Convertible with the standard engine, automatic. She calls from the road. Says the car has been sluggish ever since she picked it up and smoke is now pouring from the exhaust pipe. I go out and drive it home. No indicator lights were on. Oil looked normal. No signs of overheating. Car is definitely sluggish and may be over revving some. But when you put the pedal to the floor white steam billows from the exhaust pipe and the check engine light comes on. When I take my foot off the trottle it takes a few seconds but the steam clears and the light goes out. It's going back to the shop in the morning but anyone have any thoughts? I don't think its related to the work that was done but there checking it out just to be sure before I take it in to the dealer.

There were two games up here yesterday. One was of no consequence to the South African audience, since nobody turned up to watch the Lions in Rustenburg, not to even to welcome the driving maul back into the game.
The old beast came in pretty handy, if only to serve the Royal XV of the Bafokeng (People of the Dew) Nation, a kingdom that exists as a sort of monarchical business franchise based around the platinum mines, with a bit of rhodium and palladium extraction thrown in. The king's team did the ethnic homeland proud and there will be many heads held high in the capital, Phokeng.
The name will register with the Lions too, if only because they had to go through Phokeng hell to launch their tour with a victory. The Lions laboured to victory, their faces as red as their shirts in the heat and thin air of the Rustenburg afternoon, playing according to the filtered laws that will become universal from today.
The other game was here at Loftus Versfeld, only 120 miles away, but on a different rugby planet. The Super 14 final was the last time the full spectrum of experimental law variations would be seen. These included not just any old numbers at the line-out, and mauls that could be brought down – variations familiar in the European game last season — but also that trial peculiar to the southern hemisphere, with most full penalties reduced to free kicks.
Loftus Versfeld was full and cool, the sun by the time of kick off in the late afternoon having set. Travelling support is not necessarily a feature of the Super 14, and if there were any fans of the Chiefs in the crowd, here to celebrate the New Zealand side's first appearance in the final, they were keeping their heads well down.
This was a hometown experience, a bulging blue Bullring. When the Bulls won the Super 14 two years ago they beat the Sharks in Durban. This was their final before the Loftus faithful.
Complete with their nine Springboks in the starting team and three on the bench, the Bulls did not however start with a splash. Instead, Stephen Donald fielded a kick and released Lelia Masaga on the counter. The wing escaped the clutches of none other than Victor Matfield, which just goes to show that the world's finest second row can't do absolutely everything, and scored.
It triggered an extraordinary response. If Matfield had hardly excelled in the first piece of Springbok-watch Fourie du Preez put every observing Lion on full alert. The scrum half took one of those free kicks to himself and stretched over.
In the next move he finished off a counter-attack that began with the most ferocious tackle on Aled De Malmanche – great name for a hooker – by Wynand Olivier. The front rower was left bleeding copiously from his tongue, while the ball was turned over, picked up by Morne Steyn and given to Du Preez for a long gallop for home.
A third try was scored – four in total in the first 14 minutes – when from another turnover Matfield gave a perfect impression of an outside centre, feeding Du Preez who slipped a clever grubber through the last defenders, for Bryan Habana to chase. Loftus was erupting long before the flying winger finished his sprint to the line.
They rose even sooner when, on the stroke of half-time, the same winger intercepted a pass from Richard Kahui and sped away for a fourth try. Add a penalty and a drop goal by Morne Steyn, who had kicked no fewer than four in the semi-inal win over the Crusaders, and the Bulls had it in the bag: 34-7 at the interval, a salutary warning of how difficult it is to come here and be even competitive.
On this day of two very different games up on the high veld there were two very different types of winner, the Bulls who could not have been more rampant and the Lions whose roar was as small as the crowd they drew.

Continued from page 1
The recent split between Village Voice Media and Backpage indicates a new social pressure to defend the rights of trafficked girls, but critics claim that closing down ads just forces sales underground and removes a viable way to follow the activities of traffickers.
The adult services ads on the internet offer an accessible means for the commercial sexual exploitation of children, but the truth is that the demand for sex with underage girls precedes the technology. Closing down such avenues may temporarily interfere with business, yet the industry of selling children for sex continues as long as there are buyers.
Children are trafficked in every major metropolis in the U.S. Currently, the top three hotspots include include Texas, New York and California.
According to The National Report on Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking: America's Prostituted Children, "children exploited through prostitution report they typically are given a quota by their trafficker/pimp of 10 to 15 buyers per night. Utilizing a conservative estimate, a domestic minor sex-trafficking victim would be raped by 6,000 buyers during the course of her victimization through prostitution."
What Can We Do?
Fortunately, there is a new wave of survivor-led organizations devoted to education and healing, including Girls Education and Mentoring Services (GEMS) in New York and Courtney's House in D.C. I started SHE: Survivor Healing and Empowerment to reach out to survivors of rape, abuse and sex-trafficking in one place because ultimately all forms of gender violence overlap.
In his recent speech for the Clinton Global Initiative, President Obama noted, "For the first time, at Hillary's direction, our annual trafficking report now includes the United States, because we can't ask other nations to do what we are not doing ourselves."
Speaking of survivors, the President said, "These women endured unspeakable horror. But in their unbreakable will, in their courage, in their resilience, they remind us that this cycle can be broken; victims can become not only survivors, they can become leaders and advocates, and bring about change."
I applaud his recognition of human trafficking as an important domestic issue, but public awareness is only the first step. Children should not be incarcerated for their own exploitation and abuse in any state. We need to immediately correct the conflicts between state and federal law by exempting all children from prosecution for prostitution. The burden of responsibility must fall exclusively on Johns and traffickers.
Insist on Dignity
In the closing statements of his speech, President Obama said, "We see you. We hear you. We insist on your dignity. And we share your belief that if just given the chance, you will forge a life equal to your talents and worthy of your dreams."
Yes, we must bear witness to the suffering of trafficking victims and affirm their inherent worth, but we must also enact policies and create resources that will help children break free from sexual exploitation. This requires that we face the disturbing truth that the demand for girls' bodies is happening in our own communities.

Act 1 - "Oh Say Can You See?" (Part 2)
Previously on the highlight of Laird's career, three teams had made it to Washington, DC to try to find the last artifact and the treasure. The clues eventually led them to Baltimore and the Key Industries factory. The Geniuses made it to the final chamber but were still searching for that last word to put into their cryptex. Air Force and the Southies were wandering about in separate areas outside. Who will win the treasure? That's what we're about to find out.
The Geniuses had been in the chamber for an hour and 51 minutes - and counting. They looked a little whipped. Charles, lead bright boy, said they'd tried every historical 5-letter word they could think of. Well, perhaps inspiration would come to them.
But it had better come quickly because the Southies found the entrance and started moving down. The Geniuses heard them from outside. They decided to stay quiet and not let on that they were already where their unknown opponent needed to be.
The clock ticked away for all three teams - 5 hours, then 6 for the Geniuses, 3 hours+ for the others. They all looked like they'd been up for days trying to figure out a clue to a treasure of untold wealth.
It was Francis, the smart guy from Philly, who figured it out. He thought that perhaps it was the initials of his namesake, Francis Scott Key, was part of the code - FSK. But what about the other two letters? Well, let's try FSKEY to see if that works. Gosh golly, it does. The cryptex opened and revealed a spinner like you'd see on some board game. But this game had much higher stakes than what you'd find at the toy store. They put their spinner in the spot in the middle of the floor and spun it. It came up "right foot green" - er, I mean, star. They located the star on the near wall, and in an explosion of light and smoke, one final chamber opened. This one had the chocolate gold coins in it, and they were so happy. Though they were initially skeptical, the race was over, and Laird eventually told them so.
Laird then told Air Force and the Southies that they lost, not that it wasn't obvious by what they had just seen. Then some mysterious force (probably the producers) shuffled them out of there, so the Geniuses could celebrate in peace.
Act 2 - "The Treasure Challenge Sponsored By Some Insurance Company With Too Much Money And Not Enough To Do With It"
Laird greeted the ten weekly winners of the Genworth phone challenges - in person. They were:
Jeff from Baltimore; John from Eugene, Oregon; Rita from Lakewood, Colorado; Karla from Salt Lake City; Marissa from Aliso Viejo, California; Catherine from Newport News, Virginia; Gabe from Pleasant Grove, Alabama; Luann from Watertown, Connecticut; Scott from Brandon, Mississippi; and Helen from Chamute, Kansas.
They were standing in a line in front of our fearless leader near the Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC. He informed them their next clue was waiting for them behind him and what they did after that was completely up to them.
"Good luck, travel safe... GO!"
OK, I made some of that up. But that start looked SO familiar...
The players reached the clue, which told them to find the building which once held the Star Spangled Banner. The drawing they were given was of the Smithsonian Castle, where there would be a lockbox waiting for the teams lucky enough to get there. The combination was 5013 - 50 stars, 13 stripes. The other twist was that there were only five clues for the ten contestants. The other five would be out. Scott, Luann, Karla, John, and Helen found their clues and moved on. The rest got "ELIMINATED" stamped on their foreheads.
The next clue gave them a key and sent them to a nearby statue of Joseph Henry, and told them to go where he was facing - the National Archives Building. While there, they would use the key to open some more lockboxes. There were only three clues, so the other two would be out. Scott, Karla, and Luann were the lucky three.
They were next directed to the Old Post Office Tower, where they would use the provided stencil of the Washington skyline to find their next destination. It turned out to be the National History Building. The first one there would win the $100,000. It was Scott that made it there first. He was quite happy and he made a call to his wife on his unidentified cell phone.
Act 3 - "Sixty Seconds and Counting"
The live finale was held in Washington, DC at some fancy pants auditorium. All the teams were there, and so was Laird. The Geniuses made a separate entrance. They greeted the other teams with hugs and such until Laird commanded them to come to where he was and answer some silly questions about winning the prize.
Questions were solicited from the peanut gallery through nbc.com, and some heavily censored ones got through.
But first, there was a video recap of the highlights of the season.
Ex-CIA was asked about what happened to cause them to finish fourth. They said it was very close between them and the Geniuses - so close that the producers had to review the tapes. It confirmed what they thought all along - CIA was a little slow and thus eliminated.
The Grad Students were asked about their best memory. Melissa said that it was getting off the Jefferson way back in the first episode being sick but still finishing second.
The Browns (specifically Keith) were asked about looking like a fish out of water in water. Keith reiterated that three weeks in the kiddie pool was not enough preparation for the show.
The Fogals were asked if they thought their tactics were ruthless. Certainly not, Pa said. Just competitive and fair. Though he did concede they overdid it on the river.
The Southies were asked about that river encounter and they described it for us. Ma and Kayte Fogal apologized to them.
Air Force was asked about the Fogals. They said they loved them, and said they conceded the race to them when it was down to those two in London. Awwww, isn't that special? Even more special is the fact that Brooke was pregnant.
The Hanlons got a special spotlight of moments, some of which hadn't yet made the air.
Mark (ex-CIA) wanted to quit his job immediately after the race, but was talked into just giving two weeks notice. He now has a new job in Florida.
The Young Professionals learned that they should have trusted their instincts, especially when comparing Mt. Rushmore with Mt. Teddy. More interesting was that Taryn wasn't there, and some guy was standing in his spot. I'm sure there was a story behind it, but no one told us.
Miss USA wanted respect for the beauty queens of the world, but they were frustrated by their lack of physical strength - especially at the dig in Georgia.
Also there was Scott, his wife, his kid, and Buzz Richmond, some random Genworth vice president.
The last question was, how much was the treasure worth? $3 million!*
The Geniuses and their loved ones seemed to be happy with that, and they mobbed the stage.
And so with that, Laird and his cast of media whores said goodbye to us, probably for good.
*"The $3 million is payable in the form of a monthly annuity payment to each winning team member paid over 25 years totaling $1 million, or any winning team member may choose to receive a cash prize equivalent to the present cash value of his/her annuity."

Forums → WEPR → seatbelts
i don't know about you but i'm am tired of wearing a seatbelt or getting a ticket over why do you think the government is making us wear it because what if the car is underwater and we can't get out because the seat belt is stuck.
i have never gotten a ticket.
- 54 Replies
seatbelts make driving safer, and they seatbelt itself should be easy enough to take off if your car does go under water. Until they can make driving 100% safe, you'll have to wear a seat belt.
yeah but this is a free country
It is, but I don't think that "it's a free country" works with seatbelts otherwise there wouldn't be tickets and fines.
^That doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. We're free from the oppressive tyranny of another country controlling us (which, ironically, we did for a while back in the late 1800s-early 1900s). Seat belts are an important safety feature that can keep you alive in the event of an accident. Not wearing a seatbelt while driving is like not carrying a backup chute when skydiving. Sure, odds are nothing'll happen, but what if it DOES? Then you're screwed.
but shouldn't cops be making sure no one is speeding or anything like that.
^Like they care about what they SHOULD be doing? They can give you a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt so they will. That's all there is to it. The law is there to make sure you WEAR it. Putting them in doesn't do a damned bit of good if no one wears them.
ummm.. xgamer, police do watch out for if people are speeding, while they do their everyday jobs.
not where i live
well than, your police either need to get a different job, because they can't do the one they have, or you should wright a letter to someone like the mayor and complain.
seatbelts are to restrian you so you dont go flying through a windsheild or something. They are made to protect you, so a little bit of discomfort you could get used to to protect your life! That isn't really something to argue about.
What's honestly so difficult about wearing a seatbelt? It isn't terribly uncomfortable to wear by any means. Anyway, they help keep you safe in accidents, and as far as I'm concerned, that's a pretty good reason to wear one.
I agree with lasercannon, it's not hard to wear a seatbelt, I mean they're not razor equipped to saw through your shoulder or neck. Well, if they irritate you that much, buy some soft cloth and tape it to the side where it rubs against your neck, and if it's constricting you, lossen it up a little, not unreasonably loose, but enough to be comfortable.
Seatbelts, if I can remember correctly, help you 40%(in a really bad accident, not a bumper smash lol)or more in NOT dying and keeping you from slamming foward. 40% can make a big difference in car accidents, trust me on that one.
Seatbelts help with the safety of everybody and takes down the death rate of car crashes in america too! Wearing seatbealts is a really good law.
Cant realy say but I was in a car once and it was sort of slippy on the road, so we slided around, got strangled by the seatbelt, luckily it wasnt stuck.
But wearing a seatbelt is a case of security, if you cant get it up, just try break it or something. Least my opinion is, if you cant get yourself loose, break whats in your way ( This post does not include breaking humans or any sort of violation against the race of mankind or the animal world )
Thank you ^^
there are no seatbelts in some contrys lolz
Thread is locked!

Mainline US Protestant churches continue decline in numbers
February 18, 2011
America's mainline Protestant denominations are losing members, the new 2011 Yearbook of American & Canadian Churches shows.
Overall church membership in the US dropped by 1% last year, settling at 145.8 million. Methodist, Evangelical Lutheran, and Presbyterian congregations saw their memberships fall by more than 1%. The nation's largest Protestant group, the Southern Baptists, experienced a 0.42% decline.
The Catholic Church, which dwarfs the size of any American Protestant group, saw a slight increase in membership—0.57%-- attributable mostly to immigration.
Among the 6 religious groups that claim more than 5 million members, only one saw growth of more than 1%. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, popularly known as the Mormons, grew by 1.42%.

Heardesty Spelling Variations
hundred years ago, spelling variations of names were a common occurrence. Elements of Latin, French and other languages became incorporated into English through the Middle Ages, and name spellings changed even among the literate. The variations of the surname Heardesty include Hardisty, Hardesty, Hardistry, Hardest and others.

Another 19 words (1 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Heardesty Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Heardesty family to the New World and Oceana
A great wave of immigration to the New World was the result of the enormous political and religious disarray that struck England at that time. Families left for the New World in extremely large numbers. The long journey was the end of many immigrants and many more arrived sick and starving. Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants: George Hardest, who sailed to Virginia in 1651 and John Hardisty to Maryland in 1813.

The other day I went to the cemetery just down the road from where I live. There are several very old maple trees that always are so beautiful this time of year, so I took my camera with me. It is such a pretty and peaceful cemetary along the Black River. The colors are so bright and beautiful. It is raining here today and when I look outside it is a sea of yellow and orange. I love this time of year. I lived in Florida for a few years and really missed the fall change. The first tree is in my neighbors yard.

Summer is finally here and for those who call Vancouver home there is nothing better. Vancouver residents live for this season, and with so many beaches and parks right downtown who wouldn't? Cycling, mountain biking, running, golfing, swimming, boating – the list of activities is endless.
Kitsilano Living
One of the best neighbourhoods in which to enjoy this sun-filled season has got to be Kitsilano. Loaded with beachfront real estate and peppered with funky cafes and shops, this Vancouver neighbourhood has been world-renowned since the 1970s. Kits Beach is home to the longest swimming pool in Canada, and from May until September this outdoor gem is filled with beautiful people in search of sunshine. The beach itself is surprisingly beautiful considering it is located just steps from downtown. The new bike lane that leads over Burrard Bridge from downtown enables one to capture spectacular sunsets over English Bay. For a more leisurely viewing, The Boathouse Restaurant on Kits Beach is a perfect place to people watch – and watch the sunset. Neighbouring Jericho Sailing club offers any number of water sport, while further down, Spanish Banks provides an even longer stretch of beach that invites barbecues and games of beach volleyball.
Eccentric 4th Ave. hosts many interesting shops and cafes, organic markets and yoga studios; it remains renowned for its laid-back vibe, yet appeals to young families as well. Every convenience is walking distance from wherever you are in Kitsilano, especially with Broadway, one of Vancouver's main streets, just blocks away from 4th Ave. Kitsilano's Broadway and Alma area is especially central. Close to UBC and Jericho Park, Beach and Yacht Club – as well as a jazz bar, pubs and countless cafes – listings in this gorgeous Vancouver neighbourhood always get snatched up quickly. Some of Vancouver's prime real estate is in this area that borders prestigious Point Grey, yet the neighbourhood still manages to retain the relaxed Kitsilano vibe.
Fantastic Vancouver Real Estate
The stunning Collingwood Place exemplifies this combination of gorgeous Vancouver real estate coupled with a garden feel. The balconies and curved structure maximize light in this low-rise Vancouver condo complex. The suites themselves in Collingwood Place are a Vancouver realtor's dream. Hardwood floors, open concept rooms boasting French doors that open onto charming balconies, and spacious, modern kitchens make these Vancouver homes an easy sell.
Yes, summer is here, and Kitsilano encompasses everything great about the season: relaxation, fun and outdoor activities. What better time than now to invest in prime Vancouver real estate just steps away from beaches and sidewalks filled with interesting finds?
