Deb and her husband have been married for 25 years. She's dealt with everything from domestic violence to cheating, but has chosen to forgive her husband and even speaks about her story in hopes of helping others. She forgave him in order to release him from holding the power and realized it was a crucial step in helping her heal. They separated twice and have gone through marriage counseling. In the end, she believes it has made their marriage stronger and they now tackle their issues together.
"Forgiveness is for you, not the other person. It does not excuse them for what they did to you, but why carry that around with you for life? Release it and let it go."
Maureen's husband did what all of us women fear — he had an affair with a coworker. Though she never thought she'd be able to forgive infidelity, she did for a few reasons. First, he told her about it instead of waiting until he got caught. Secondly, he disclosed everything she wanted to know without hesitation. And finally, she knows if the situation were reversed, she would have wanted to be forgiven, too. Five years later, her husband is still in therapy and their marriage has improved immensely. Their communication, something they struggled with before, is now much more clear and satisfying.
"Everyone makes mistakes. I decided to give him some time to get his act together. He did, and I'm proud of him. If I didn't forgive him, none of the last five years would have happened."
Kimberly Friedmutter, life management expert, states that "women who stay with their husbands must be prepared to experience both varying degrees in forgiveness and differences in their relationship. Some days you will feel more forgiving than others, and that's OK. Triggers can set you off into panic or fear of repeat behaviors. You may feel more insecure at times. Also, be aware that your 'new normal' in the relationship has changed. The most successful marriages utilizing forgiveness know a new relationship must evolve from this hardship."
Remember that the past is the past. He can't make up for it now, and by staying angry, you're only hurting yourself and your marriage. If you decide to forgive, try to fully let go and move on. Focus on rebuilding your relationship and gaining back the trust. Focus on what your husband does right, not everything he's done wrong in the past.
Live in the present. Our past shapes us, so learning to live in the present is one of the most challenging things we'll ever do. If you choose to forgive, though, it's necessary. Being stuck in the past is only preventing you from growing and preventing your relationship from flourishing. Make a conscious decision every morning to focus on today — not what happened months or years ago.

|Re: [jetty-users] Restarting webapp programmatically?
If you have called Server.setGracefulShutdown(int ms) the shutdown should not cause much disruptions to users, as it will stop the connectors accepting any new connections and then wait the designated number of ms for existing requests to drain out of the context.
OK, I have this anyway. However, the server is only running the one webapp, and users have to log in. I have a SessionListener that monitors the number of logged in users, so what I want is to restart as soon as the last user logs out (I don't want to kill any existing sessions).
Alternatively, you might not have to stop the whole server, you should just be able to stop the webapp. You might need to stop the connectors too.
Restarting the webapp will reload the class files, yes?
The sequence would be something like:
+ call close() on all of the connectors + call setShutdown(true) on the WebAppContext
I don't see setShutdown from JMX...
+ wait for a little while for existing requests to drain out
Presumably not needed if no-one is logged in?
+ call stop() on the WebAppContext + call start() on the WebAppContext + call open() on the connectors
So, I'll try this from inside the session listener and see what happens...
Many thanks,

PEOPLE in Moray are being warned against a telephone scam circulating in north east Scotland.
The advice from Police Scotland comes after an incident in Aberdeenshire where a resident lost over £15,000.
Using a scam commonly known as vishing, fraudsters call pretending to be from the person's bank, advising that their account has been compromised.
They then encourage the resident to transfer money to a 'safe account' provided by the fraudster.
The scammer then instructs their victim to hang up and dial the number on the back of their bank card to ensure the caller is genuine, however, the line is kept open and the fraudster answers the call.
In a recent incident, a customer was called by who they believed to be their bank, advising that over £15,000 had been accidentally transferred into their account and they would have to return it.
The fraudster then talked the customer through the transfer procedure.
Constable Kev Marron, from Police Scotland's crime reduction unit, said: "We would advise that if you are telephoned by anyone pertaining to be from your bank to telephone your bank back especially if it involves transferring money, providing or confirming your bank details.
"Always look up your bank's telephone number and do not use a number the caller provides.
"Furthermore, if you do decide to ring back and verify the call it is advisable to do so on a different phone line, like another landline or on your mobile.
"If this isn't possible, leave at least 30 minutes between receiving the suspect call and making a new call.
"Some scammers keep the phone line open and will reconnect as soon as you dial a new number; continuing the scam by pretending to be a different person from the bank."
He advised people to always be suspicious if someone reporting to be from your bank requests a money transfer money or personal details.
Anybody with concerns regarding telephone fraud are asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.

Inside your head sits the most complex object in the known universe - the human brain. This amazing organ has unique powers to make predictions about the future, form relationships with other people, adapt to rapidly changing circumstances, and so much more. We all have a basic conception of how our brains function, but when did you last dive into the fascinating world of neuroscience to truly understand the inner workings of your mind?
For decades, the field of neuroscience has been in a near-constant state of disruptive transformation, as we continually learn more about our incredible brains. Thanks to rapid advances in technology and in our understanding of the brain, today's neuroscience research goes far beyond trying to understand how the brain works, and into the search for proven ways to optimize brain performance. In Your Best Brain, Professor John J. Medina - an award-winning scientist, New York Times best-selling author, and leading advocate for brain research - delivers 24 exciting lectures that probe the origins of consciousness, memory, emotion, attention, intelligence, and beyond. He focuses on five key areas of study in neuroscience: the brain's physical structure and function, and how it enabled us to become the planet's apex predator; the ways in which the brain processes information, and how that relates to intelligence; the intricacies of emotions and socialization, and how empathy is a vital survival mechanism; how our brains develop and change throughout our lifetimes; and how we can best use and expand our cerebral processing performance. After gaining a thorough understanding of the science behind your best brain, you'll learn scientifically proven methods for improving your memory, boosting your creativity, and keeping your mind sharp for years to come.

"Good information slightly marred by presentation"
The narrator has a lot to say but the style of the delivery is perhaps more suitable to early adolescents or pre-teen children than to adults. He is so keen to be accessible and easy to understand that it sometimes comes over as a little patronising. 'Don't get intimidated by all those long words, now!' He seems an affable enough chap but could do with trusting his audience a little more.
"Fantastic, just what I wanted"
Great explanations of how the brain works in relation to our feelings emotions and general wellbeing and how to optimise it's functions. Well read in a way that holds your interest and even quite amusing at times.
"Wow brain tastic"
This course is really well put together , the narrators enthusiasm for his subject is great the explanations and detail into each chapter are exceptional , if your a novice with a keen interest in understanding the mechanics of the brain and its fundamental functions upon human behaviour you will be so glad you invested the time to listen as it has helped me with my study and it will help you too , once you have listened thru once you will find yourself dipping into each lecture of choice and absorbing a little more with every listen , great investment in your time .
"Very useful, and interesting! "
Particularly enjoyed the sections about keeping your mind healthy and mental health problems. I would particularly recommend this course to anyone looking to get a better understanding of their thought processes and how they can improve them, but anyone else should also find it interesting
"Really interesting"
Really liked this, found the lecturer a bit irritating at first but he grew on me! Content very good, and great for anyone who is looking for an induction to brain function.
""Weapon of mass instruction""
Professor John Medina is brilliant! Brain Science is Brilliant! John's narration makes it fun and accessible to all. Look forward to hearing it all again!
"The Best Introduction"
I have loved this course and have found myself craving the next insight to human brain function.
John Medina's presentation style is ebullient and engaging and he comes across as a warm, friendly and passionate teacher.
As an interested commuter with time on my hands (and not a psychology student) the content is all the introduction to brain geography and, subsequently, human behavior I was after and I will be seeking out more in depth material on the lectures that particularly grabbed my attention.
From recognising aspects of my own behaviour to why the hell your kid is acting that way, I highly recommend this course.
"Excellent ride through important issues!"
I truly enjoyed this scientifically rich yet easy to listen course spiced with well-balanced sense of humour! Full marks!
"Interesting and stimulating"
Presented in an easy to understand and fun style Prof Medina introduces you to the complexities of the Brain. If you're interested in an introduction to neuro-science and how your brain ticks then worth a listen.
"Good but too much anecdotes and movies references"
Although all the movie references were correct, I tend to think that too much references to them leads inexperienced readers to think that these are usually fact based. While most apply facts a huge chunk of even science or fact based TV programs respond to the need to entertain than provide reference material..
"Beautifully Clear and Entertaining"
In all of creation, the least likely thing ever to be well understood is the human brain. Professor Medina spins what we know and the fuzzy parts we think we know into an engaging and entertaining story. Easy to follow and peppered with fascinating anecdotes and examples, this is a good listen for anyone, regardless of educational level or background in the sciences. As an MD and son of a neurology professor, it is the best telling of this story I have yet found.
"Great Narrator"
wow! I am blown away by the narrator in this book. He is charismatic and very well informed. His cadence and tone really hook you and keep you paying attention; you can practically hear his smile as he peppers in anecdotes and real world situations to support what he is speaking about. I highly recommend this audio book.
"Mind blowing!"
This is one of the greatest of the great courses. I found the lectures compelling, timely and well-explained. I even re-listened to a few segments because they were so fascinating. Awesome series! I highly recommend this one.
"Brainy but not nerdy"
This lecture series teaches you about the structure and function of the brain, and is also packed with practical tips on how to get the best out of your own brain.
What makes this lecture series stand out from the rest is the 'lecturer'. I've put that word in quote marks because he's so unlike the standard lecturer that it doesn't feel right to use the regular word. He's more like the host of a children's TV programme, in the nicest possible way. He's incredibly animated, frequently rising to peaks of excitement that send his voice into a shrill falsetto. That's his style, to come across as being spectacularly enthused about his subject. He doesn't sound like an academic, but he clearly knows his stuff and he shares this knowledge using lots of anecdotes and metaphors to illustrate an array of fascinating facts about an organ that just sits there, with the consistency of tofu, and doesn't appear from the outside to do a fat lot. Appearances can be deceptive.
The practical tips are about a number of things: How to keep your brain alive and well for longer, how to improve your memory, how to avoid stress, and the importance of sleep. All good stuff and well worth a listen.
"Have no doubt, this is worth it!"
If you are interested in brain science or human behaviour this courses is well worth your time and money. The course is informative with the material being presented in an easily digestible form that doesn't dumb it down too much. I have listened to numerous books and courses on these topics and this course is the best for beginners and those wanting a refreshing refresher. The lecturer tries to maximise the presentation of the topics so you will remember them.Ultimately, this is one of the best purchases I have made, and is probably the best of The Great Courses I have listened to.
Note. The lecturer sounds like a slightly higher pitched, slightly more excitable Penn Jillette and that might not work for everyone. I like Penn Jillette, so it was a bonus for me.
"The standard fare for brain science"
The breadth of this lecture series is considerable, although I was hoping for a little more depth. The lecturer is very careful to qualify his information with peer reviewed research, which is refreshing. I guess I primarily had hoped that there was more new information out there, since I had already heard much of this from other sources. Narrated well. The lecturer is a skilled public speaker who knows how to maintain attention during a lecture.
"Blow your mind with brain knowledge"
John Medina needs his own TV show. What a great set of lessons and easy to understand communication. Accessible, entertaining, evocative, inspiring. Thank you.
"Very enjoyable."
Informative and easy to understand. For all my fellow baby boomers a positive and instructive listen. I highly recommend to all ages.
"This was a great work of non-fiction."
I have been in the medical field for over 30 years and found the science behind sleep, memory, emotion and other functions of the brain fascinating. You don't need to be knowledgeable in the medical arts to enjoy this book however. The Author and narrator is wonderful. He breaks down his subject in such a way that anyone will understand what he is talking about. The Professor wrote and narrates the book. He is jovial and obviously enjoys sharing his knowledge with you. You will learn why you feel as you do and it will make sense to you the way he has written the book. It is presented as a series of lectures and very easy to follow.
I loved learning new facts about the brain and its workings.
There was no characters in this book.
Absolutely. the lectures were engaging, entertaining and full of interesting facts. I will listen to this book again simply to remember all the details the Professor spoke of.
Even if you aren't medical give this book a listen. It is one of the best nonfiction offerings I have read.
"Essential Listening for All who Own a Brain"
Prof Medina is a gifted lecturer & presents the material with the confidence and passion of an expert in the field. Essential listening for all who own a brain....

STUDENT GOV'T INSIDER: Home games, scheduling issues thwart lectures, concert plans
Marcela Berrios | Tuesday, December 11, 2007
Scheduling conflicts kept the Student Union Board (SUB) from bringing big-name musicians and speakers to campus this fall, SUB manager Phil Ross said.
SUB is charged with providing the student body with social and cultural programming. Ross, a senior, said the group is having a slow year with few guest speakers, few small-to-medium-sized shows and no large concerts.
Old staples like SUB movies and AcoustiCafe seemed to be the only SUB events happening this semester.
Ross said the lack of events was beyond SUB's control. An intense home game schedule is to blame.
With only six non-football weekends to work with before December, Ross said SUB was unable to book a major musical act to perform on any of the open nights.
Last year, SUB brought singer Ben Folds to campus for a sold-out concert at Stepan in November.
This year, football schedule constraints forced the group to focus on smaller events in smaller venues, like the Dec. 1 presentation of band The Format at Legends. Ross said about 750 people packed Legends above capacity during the concert.
Legends was also the site of another SUB hit this semester, a show by comedian Ben Bailey on Oct. 5.
Scheduling conflicts have persisted with other potential speakers and artists SUB spoke to this fall.
"None of them came to fruition," Ross said. "Either their schedules wouldn't allow it or ours wouldn't."
Ross said he and his colleagues expect that to change in 2008. They're still in talks with some of the speakers that fell through this fall, Ross said, and they're looking into new ones as well.
With an election year around the corner, he said SUB has considered focusing on political speakers next semester. Earlier this semester, the group focused on bringing artistic speakers to campus for the Notre Dame Literary Festival, which featured a poet, a novelist, a journalist and a writer for "The Simpsons."
Throughout November, SUB and the Creative Writing Program teamed up to host workshops, readings and question-and-answer sessions featuring the visiting writers. Ross said he saw the numbers of students at the events grow as the month progressed.
"The first couple of speakers had smaller crowds than the later ones," Ross said. "And that could've just been that the festival had gained momentum by then, but maybe we just needed to do a better job promoting the events early on. It's always tough getting students to notice and attend these things on weeknights so you really need to publicize them well. And that's something we'll be working on next semester."
Grade Awarded to the Student Union Board: B-
Home football games made weekends busy this semester, but SUB could have held other fun events, like last spring's SNL speaker series, in place of a major concert.

The state Comptroller's office plans to set up shop at various county fairs and other locations this month in part to publicize its unclaimed funds operation. The state is sitting on about $8 billion worth of unclaimed funds, according to Comptroller Tom DiNapoli's office.
Or you can avoid the temptation of zeppolis and can check on line to see if your name (or a relative's) is on the list (Someone I knew did this a few years ago and punched my name in; turned out I had about $50 coming to me from some health insurance check I'd never gotten.

Steve Miller: "Having experienced the Thundersprint for the first time last year I now understand the uniqueness of the event. It is a great motorcycle extravaganza, the likes of which I have never experienced before."
GP racing comes to the Thundersprint on the evening of Saturday 7 May with an all star cast taking the stage at Northwich Memorial Hall.
Doors open at 5pm and there is a hotpot supper available for £4.50, plus full bar facilities. The entertainment kicks off at 6.30 pm with appearances from classic superstars including, amongst many others, six times World Champion Jim Redman and European Champion Sammy Miller.
Following the classic icons, Steve Parrish takes centre stage for what is guaranteed to be one of the liveliest nights in the 2011 motorcycling calendar. Steve said: "Having experienced the Thundersprint for the first time last year I now understand the uniqueness of the event. It is a great motorcycle extravaganza, the likes of which I have never experienced before.
"I am really looking forward to Saturday evening when Matt Roberts and I can really get to know what makes Cal Crutchlow, Danny Webb and Chris Walker tick! And, trust me, I have a few questions to put to them that you will never hear on the BBC!"
Steve will be assisted – not that he needs any encouragement – by his BBC team mate Matt Roberts, as they try to control the three liveliest, and most outspoken, riders in motorcycle racing.
Cal Crutchlow, World Supersport Champion, and currently Britain's only rider in MotoGP said: "I have heard so many good things about the Thundersprint that for 2011 I was determined to be there.
"I enjoy racing in World Championship events but they are serious work in every way.
"I'm coming to the Thundersprint to do what I love best in life: be with bikes, meet fans – and have a play about on the track too."
The evening concludes with "The Little Black Hearts" who are tipped for rock band superstardom and are one of the best British rock bands of their generation.
