Abraham Lincoln's Courthouse Tour
Springfield is the heart of Lincoln country. Lincoln lived in Springfield from 1837 until 1861. In his nearly 24 years here, the people of city had an enormous impact on his life. While visiting the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln's Home, the Old State Capitol, Lincoln's Law offices and the Lincoln Depot, visitors will begin to understand how this man grew from a fledgling lawyer to a President.
The Old State Capitol is a reconstruction of Illinois' fifth statehouse, the first to be located in Springfield. The building served as the seat of state government and a center of Illinois political life from 1839 to 1876. During the dramatic years leading to the Civil War, the building had an important role in the political struggle between Stephen A. Douglas (1813-1861) and Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865). Lincoln visited the building frequently as both a lawyer and a politician, serving in the building during his last term in the Illinois House of Representatives and delivering the famous 1858 "House Divided" speech in Representatives Hall, and using the governor's rooms as a headquarters during the 1860 presidential campaign. The building was the scene of the assassinated President's final laying-in-state on May 3-4, 1865.
Visitors to the Old State Capitol may take a 30-minute interpreter-conducted tour or view the rooms on their own. Also available are a 15-minute orientation video on the building's history. The building is fully accessible to persons with disabilities.
The Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices are within the only remaining building in which Abraham Lincoln maintained a law office. The site consists of the surviving portion of a three-story brick commercial block constructed in 1840-41. Exterior details reflect the then-popular Greek Revival architectural style. Though designed as a commercial structure, portions of the building were rented for offices and other purposes. Lincoln practiced law in the building from 1843 to about 1852. During his 1847-1849 tenure as a United States Congressman, partner William H. Herndon (1818-1891) maintained the practice. In 1978 the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a part of the Central Springfield Historic District.
After viewing an orientation video, visitors receive a twenty-minute guided tour of the historic rooms. On Wednesdays during the summer months, a costumed interpreter portrays Lincoln's law clerk. Exhibits in the visitor center provide information on Lincoln's legal career and life on the Eighth Judicial Circuit. The building is fully accessible to persons with disabilities. The Tinsley Dry Goods Store gift shop is contiguous to the Lincoln-Herndon building.
Beardstown sits on the Illinois River and was first settled in 1819 which makes it one of the oldest towns in Illinois. Beardstown was founded by Thomas Beard, who was originally from Granville, New York. It was not until Beard, for whom the town was named, started a ferry service crossing the Illinois River in 1826 that the move towards becoming a town was made.
Beardstown sits on the Illinois River and was first settled in 1819 which makes it one of the oldest towns in Illinois. Lincoln argued many cases in the Beardstown Courthouse, including his best known-"The Almanac Trial". Lincoln was also installed here as a Captain of the Sangamon County Company during the Black Hawk War. During the senate race of 1858 he spoke to the people of Beardstown on the city square. Stephen A. Douglas had spoken prior to Lincoln's speech.
The heart of Metamora is its beautiful square in front of the courthouse, still used today for local celebrations as it was when Lincoln, the circuit riding lawyer, passed through town. Weekends are full of events on the square like bank concerts, dances and Civil War re-enactments.
The Metamora Courthouse was built in 1845 and served as the center of county government until the county seat was moved to Eureka in 1896. It is one of two surviving courthouses on the historic Eighth Judicial Circuit traveled by Abraham Lincoln. In 1978 the Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Lincoln probably spent more time in Bloomington than any other city in Central Illinois outside of Springfield. He had many close political and legal associates from this area, including David Davis whose influence on his legal career and run for the presidency were crucial to Lincoln's success. Your tour of the David Davis Mansion will reveal just how this happened as well as what life was like for a wealthy Victorian family. The The McLean County Museum of History rounds out the Lincoln story by introducing the city and the people that Lincoln would have known. Maps for walking tours featuring historical markers and notable architecture are available at the museum.
McLean County History Museum Housed in a magnificent old courthouse on the National Register of Historic Places, the museum tells stories of the people of McLean County including many who would have known Lincoln. A permanent exhibit, "Encounter on the Prairie," exemplifies the theme of the museum through four galleries: People, work, politics and farming. In addition, the museum also features changing exhibits that explore subjects like the Central Illinois and the Civil War plus periodic national traveling exhibits.
Abraham Lincoln couldn't be any more connected to a city than Lincoln, Illinois. Lincoln, known as the "namesake city" is the only town to be named for Lincoln before he became President. In fact, he christened Lincoln with the juice of a watermelon. His connection with all of Logan County is a rich one. He argued cases while riding the eighth judicial circuit at the Postville Court House, a building which is open to the public.
On July 5, 1836, a man named Barton Robinson entered 480 acres of land in what is now Mt. Pulaski Township with he and others who had settled the area several years before. The residents named the new town "Pulaski," in honor of the Revolutionary War hero of the same name was killed in battle in service to George Washington on October 11, 1779.
Mount Pulaski Courthouse was built in 1848 and served as the Logan County seat of government until 1855. Attorney Abraham Lincoln regularly argued cases in the second-floor courtroom, helping to establish his reputation as both an accomplished practitioner of the law and a gifted speaker. After the county seat was moved to Lincoln in 1855, the former courthouse was used as a city hall, school, and post office. In 1935 the state purchased the building and began efforts to "restore" it to an 1850s appearance.
Postville Courthouse is a reproduction of Logan County's first seat of government. Constructed in 1840, the original building until 1848 was one of the courts in which Abraham Lincoln argued cases while traveling the historic Eighth Judicial Circuit. Long after being converted to residential use, the original courthouse was purchased by Henry Ford and in 1929 moved to his Dearborn, Michigan, Greenfield Village museum. This replica was constructed in 1953 on the original site as part of the city of Lincoln's centennial celebration.
The first courthouse, a log cabin, was so crude it saw only two sessions of court in 1836 and 1837. It was replaced in 1840 with a brick and wood frame building that served for the next 9 years. It was in this building that Abraham Lincoln appeared as a lawyer while riding the circuit. The next courthouse, built in 1849, was a two-story building of brick and wood with a bell tower in the center of its roof.
Danville is the first stop from the East coming from I-74 and for those looking for a unique location, try
picturesque Danville/Vermilion County, ideally located on I-74 in the heart of Central Illinois. For the
history buff-- had you been walking down Vermilion Street in Danville in the early 1850's you very possibly
might have run into a tall, somewhat unkempt, young attorney crossing from his office to the courthouse to
argue a case in the 8th Judicial Circuit.
Completed in 2002, this reproduction of an early Danville court house tells of Danville's rich Lincoln history. He tried over 200 cases in the courts here and had many friends in this community. As visitors enter the museum, the first thing they see is an imposing statue that represents the Lincoln that his friends from Danville would have recognized. The museum also houses a recreation of the law office that Danville attorney Ward Hill Lamon shared with Lincoln, and includes a desk that Lincoln actually used. There are many other fine exhibits in this museum that reflect the history of Vermilion County.
Macon County has a rich Lincoln history and many Lincoln "firsts." Decatur was the first
Illinois home of the Abraham Lincoln family, he was first nominated for the presidency at
the state Republican party convention and he made his first political speech in downtown
Decatur. In addition when he rode the circuit he tried several cases in Decatur. The log
courthouse where those cases were heard still exists in the Prairie Village at the Macon
County Historical Society Museum. The museum also features a video called "Lincoln in
Macon County" that tells the story of his relationship to this area.
The Macon County Historical Society had its birth on May 25, 1916, when twelve people met in the Decatur Public Library, adopted a constitution, and elected temporary officers. In August, 1916 there was an appeal for members at the Old Settlers' Picnic for any items of historical interest. The Society had plans "to establish a library of local and state history, to maintain a museum, and to cultivate the historic sense and diffuse knowledge upon these subjects by meeting and publications". On more than one occasion over the years the Society became inactive and then reorganized. In 1962 several local citizens met to discuss the reactivation of the Society, with meetings being held in Decatur's old Carnegie Library until the Society purchased the old North Cumberland Presbyterian Church to establish their new museum and a meeting place.
Taylorville is often referred to as "the last stop" because when Lincoln and his fellow lawyers, including Stephen A. Douglas, rode the 8th judicial circuit Taylorville was often the last place they stopped before going back to Springfield.
Taylorville, Illinois, is home to the Christian County Courthouse, and county seat. The County Seat was established in 1839. Inside the building, visitors can find a number of actual Lincoln documents on display and assorted displays for Lincoln the Lawyer.
The 1902 courthouse is the county's third. The first one was built in 1840 and used until 1856. Up until 1853, it was the last stop on Abraham Lincoln's 8th Judicial Circuit route and where Lincoln reportedly issued a "writ of quietus" to silence the sound of hogs that were disrupting a trial. The original courthouse has been moved to the grounds of the Christian County Historical Museum at Illinois 29 and 48 on Morrison Drive.
In the 1840's and 1850's when Abraham Lincoln rode the 8th judicial circuit, the last stop was in Taylorville, Illinois. While not in its original location on the city square, the first Christian County Courthouse still exists and is now part of The Christian County Historical Museum. The white frame building was built in 1839 and was restored using original specifications for construction. The simple almost crude interior furnishings echo courtrooms of the period when the practice of law was less formal than it is today. The Historical Museum grounds also include a one-room schoolhouse, an 1800's train depot, a log house dating to the 1820's and several buildings that include an amazing array of exhibits and artifacts.

I use Apache Web server for all my experiments; however, due to a specific reason I had to use ASP/.NET windows web hosting for one of my project. To test the application I wanted to start IIS, and then I found I cannot install IIS without having a CD. Unfortunately, I wanted to deploy the application on a remote machine which does not have a CD driver. After searching, I found following as an alternative to solve the issues.
First download the archive file: Download
Then extract it.
Go to:
Control Panel
Add/Remove programs
Add Windows components
And then pick IIS.
It will ask to insert the CD, press OK. Next, browse to the location where you extract the downloaded file. Installer asks few times to insert the CD, every time point it to the extracted location.

U.S. Nuclear Generation Gains as Three Eastern Plants Return
U.S. nuclear-power generation rose to an 11-week high after reactors in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Maryland returned to service.
Nationwide production rose 0.9 percent to 84,982 megawatts, or 83 percent of capacity, the most since March 9, according to Nuclear Regulatory Commission data compiled by Bloomberg. Output was 3.4 percent higher than a year ago with 14 of 104 plants offline.
Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. (PEG) started the 1,174-megawatt Salem 1 reactor in New Jersey after shutting it for more than five weeks for refueling and planned maintenance. The unit, about 18 miles south of Wilmington, Delaware, was operating at 2 percent of capacity today.
Constellation Energy Group Inc. began generation at the 862-megawatt Calvert Cliffs 2 reactor, about 38 miles south of Annapolis. The reactor, which today operated at 3 percent of capacity, tripped offline on May 21 because of equipment failure associated with the steam generator feed pump, according to the NRC.
The 685-megawatt Pilgrim 1 reactor owned by Entergy Corp. (ETR) restarted and was operating at 1 percent of capacity. The unit, about 4 miles east of Plymouth, Massachusetts, had been shut since mid-April.
Reactor maintenance shutdowns, usually undertaken in the U.S. spring or fall when energy use is lowest, may increase consumption of natural gas and coal to generate electricity. The average refueling down time was 46 days in 2012, according to the Nuclear Energy Institute.

Hey Elliot James. Is the girl that did Eva's make up a score model? Because she is beautiful
Eva Notty Jackumentary
Featuring: Eva Notty, Dimitri Long, Levi Cash, and Sergio
Date: January 19th, 2014
Duration: 52:06
Eva Notty (pronounced "Eh-vah") was originally a Naughty Neighbors girl in 2004. Five years after her NN pictorial, Eva was encouraged to send her photos to BeAScoreModel.com. "I posed for Naughty Neighbors that one time, but that was it," said Eva. "I never put it out of my thoughts, but I never really thought about pursuing it. That was just one thing I did for fun. But a friend pursued it and asked me if he could submit my photos, and I said okay, and he did. And then somebody from your studio called me, and you wanted me to come in. I didn't hesitate." The beautiful brunette made her SCORELAND debut on June 10, 2009, in a four-part Special. It combined an interview, boob play, a tits in tight tops show, toying masturbation, a rubdown by a hands-on dude and a Tits & Tugs. In other words, it was loaded.
What Members are saying about this update...

How long have you had the camera? If it's less than a year old, then it's under manufacturer's warranty and they need to take it back because there was no customer abuse involved to find it broken...\015\012
\015\012If it's more than a year old and you have no other warranties on it.. then I'm sorry to say that you might just need to try to fasten something yourself... keep in mind that the only function of that door is to hold the batteries in and to conduct electricity between the batteries... so if you put something there that is also conductive.. then it should be able to work fine.\015\012

Traditionally, if you want to change the color ramp for raster layer, you would need to open up Properties window and then navigate to the Symbology tab. Then you change the color ramp, and hit OK to persist it. This isn't too bad, but still requires a lot of clicking to simply change the color ramp.
What if you you could change your color ramp in as little as 3 clicks?
1) In your Table Of Contents, click on the current color ramp. This bring up the Select Color Ramp window.
2) Then Choose your color ramp (ok this is 2 clicks I guess)
3) Click OK to apply your new color ramp.
OK, so officially that is 4 clicks I guess, but it is a lot less than the traditional method. Plus it is a lot easier since there is only 1 simple window that you need to see.
This is not a new feature either – it has been around since the days of ArcGIS 8.x!

Wrestling with the Bear, JPMorgan halts W.T.C. project
Downtown Express photo by Elisabeth Robert
JPMorgan Chase's Frank Bisignano and David Rockefeller.
By Josh Rogers
JPMorgan Chase, consumed with finalizing its takeover of Bear Stearns, has scrapped its plans to build a large trading floor building at the World Trade Center.
Even if JPMorgan is not able to complete the sale, it reportedly retains an option to buy Bear's trading floors and office headquarters in Midtown.
"Before you close a deal to get trading floors, you don't look to build a building down here with new trading floors," Frank Bisignano, chief adminisitrative officer of JPMorgan Chase, told Downtown Express Tuesday night. "You don't have to pass an I.Q. test to figure that out."
Bisignano added JPMorgan is a big company and had not ruled out building Downtown, but he made it clear the Bear Stearns agreement was the focus, and that the firm would not take a closer look at pursuing Lower Manhattan until the deal is settled.
In round-the-clock negotiations over the weekend, JPMorgan agreed to acquire the struggling Bear and assume some of its obligations at a bargain basement price of $2 a share a deal sweetened considerably more by a $30 billion credit line from the Federal Reserve.
Ironically, Bisignano spoke of halting W.T.C. plans a few minutes after paying tribute to David Rockefeller, the driving force behind the construction of the Twin Towers and the Chase Plaza office buildings two projects intended to retain Lower Manhattan's position as the financial capital of the world. Bisignano unveiled a plaque renaming the plaza after Rockefeller, whose family founded Chase.
Downtown leaders downplayed the reports of JPMorgan's hesitancy and insisted they were still in the hunt for Chase.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who spoke with Bisignano, said in a telephone interview that he got a different message from JPMorgan.
"I was assured that they still intend to develop the Deutsche Bank building [at the W.T.C.]," Silver said. "They may ultimately change the way it's configured, but it is their intention to move forward…. They may no longer need the expanded trading floor."
Anthony Shorris, executive director of the Port Authority, which made the original deal with JPMorgan, said he too was optimistic and had "reason to believe we're going to go ahead with the deal."
Last year's 92-year lease between the Port and Chase was announced two months before the Aug. 18 fatal fire at the former Deutsche Bank building. The delayed cleanup of the damaged building has now resumed, but demolition work will not be restarted until the fall at the earliest. The Port had hoped to get control of the Tower 5 site area by this September, at which time they would have turned it over to JPMorgan and begun constructing its adjacent vehicle security center.
Shorris said the Port plans to offer the investment bank adjustments to the deal to offset the change in the timeline. JPMorgan is free to back out of the agreement.
The Port would consider a mixed use tower on the site if JPMorgan does not move forward, according to one official. Prior to the Tower 5 deal, the city had suggested a hotel or residential building for the parcel.
If JPMorgan does end up building offices and no trading floors at the W.T.C., that is likely to be seen as welcome news from community leaders who raised concerns over the bank's plan to add shadows with cantilevered trading floors hovering over the site.
The Tower 2 and 3 sites are large enough for trading floors, but JPMorgan did not appear to consider either spot seriously. Two theories emerged to explain that decision. Either the firm wanted more control over the building or it preferred to have the Port as a landlord rather than developer Larry Silverstein.
At last June's announcement, JPMorgan's C.E.O., Jamie Dimon, who led the Bear Stearns negotiations, pointed out that both J.P. Morgan and Chase bank were founded near Wall St. "We're proud, we're going back home," he said then. "We feel great about it."
Then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer added, "We have proven once again that Downtown Manhattan is the epicenter of global capital."

Supreme Court Summaries
Opinions filed October 18, 2013
Prazen v. Shoop, 2013 IL 115035
Appellate citation: 2012 IL App (4th) 120048.
JUSTICE THOMAS delivered the judgment of the court, with opinion.
Chief Justice Kilbride and Justices Garman, Karmeier, and Theis concurred in the judgment and opinion.
Justice Freeman dissented, with opinion, joined by Justice Burke.
At the end of 1998, the plaintiff in this case, Joseph Prazen, elected to participate in the state's early retirement incentive plan and retired from his position as superintendent of the electrical department of the City of Peru. He had over 27 years of service, and he also had purchased five years of age-enhancement credit so as to raise his years of service to over 32 years for pension purposes.
Plaintiff had an unincorporated electrical business, which was incorporated just before he retired, of which he was then secretary and president. Just before he retired, the City entered into an agreement with this corporation for the operation of the City's electrical department. It provided for management and supervision. Mayor Donald Baker signed the agreement on behalf of the City. The first year's compensation under the contract was about $7,000 higher than plaintiff's prior annual salary. This relationship lasted until 2009, when the corporation was dissolved. After that, the City used other independent contractors to perform the same duties.
In 2010, the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund notified the plaintiff that, after participating in the early retirement incentive plan, he had violated the statutory prohibitions against returning to work because he had created a corporation that employed him and then contracted with the City so that plaintiff could simply go back to work at the same job. The Fund recalculated plaintiff's years of service as 27 and claimed he should repay $307,100 as a statutory forfeiture. The circuit court of Sangamon County upheld the Fund.
In 2012, the appellate court held that the view taken below was not supported by statute, and, in this decision, the supreme court agreed. The supreme court held that the work which was done between 1999 and 2009 was done by a separate corporate entity and was not precluded by statute. If the legislature had wanted to specifically prohibit this, it could have said so. In so deciding, the supreme court held that the legislature did not grant the Board of Trustees of the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund the power to find that a corporation was a "guise" to circumvent the statutory forfeiture provisions. The court also noted that, earlier in the period under consideration, the Board had expressed the view that what the plaintiff had done was permissible, but that its position had evolved over time to the one presented in this appeal. The supreme court held it could not find a clear intent expressed in the statutes to prohibit outsourcing to a corporation created by a retired employee and imposing a forfeiture for doing so. To provide otherwise, legislative action is required.

Judge sides with MBTA over pro-Israel ad
BOSTON — A federal judge has sided with the MBTA over a subway ad proposed by a pro-Israel group.
The ad was funded by the American Freedom Defense Initiative, which seeks to combat what it calls the spread of radical Islam in the United States. It read: "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel; defeat Jihad."
Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority officials rejected the ad on the basis that it violated agency advertising guidelines because it is "demeaning or disparaging."
The judge last week agreed with the transit agency that it was plausible "to conclude that the ... pro-Israel advertisement demeans or disparages Muslims or Palestinians."
A lawyer for the group that proposed the ad tells The Boston Globe (http://b.globe.com/1c3bbO1 [1] ) an appeal will be filed.

In this article we want to talk about some natural remedies for erectile dysfunction, how you fit them into your lifestyle and how effective are they going to be for you.
Let's take a look at what we have here. Erectile dysfunction is not necessarily the end disease that we are talking about. It's a symptom of something else. It's a pain; nobody wants it. You don't take the pill for ED; you take stuff for what's causing ED. And ED is mainly caused by poor blood flow. Erection works by blood flowing into the penis for an erection. Without proper blood flow, there is no erection. These problems can be caused by diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, or what they call the metabolic syndrome, which is being overweight and a number of other conditions. But its' poor blood flow.
We want to talk about four particular male enhancement treatments, and they are going to seem somewhat different, but they all work at increasing the availability of something called nitric oxide. And nitric oxide increases blood flow.
The first is what's called flavonoids rich foods, and they're primarily fruits, but some vegetables, also blueberries, cherries, blackberries, radishes, citrus, red wine, offer flavonoids. Flavonoids help heal the cardiovascular system. And when you were working on good blood flow, you're really working on healing the lining of the cardiovascular system. Flavonoids are one factor that does that.
Another factor is getting an L-Aginine supplement or trying to get some food to have naturally occurring L-Arginine in it. L-Arginine is an amino acid, and it's a precursor to nitric oxide, meaning that when you introduce it into your system, it stimulates the formation of and can change into nitric oxide. And nitric oxide is essential for getting and maintaining an erection.
Maintaining proper weight. I mean we've all heard that you need to exercise, you need to have a proper diet. Extra pounds, the primary problem with that it is that it helps produce cardiovascular issues, it helps to produce diabetes. Both of those are really devastating to the cardiovascular system, really devastating to the lining of the arteries and veins which produce nitric oxide.
Hormones aren't directly associated with erectile dysfunction in terms of getting an erection, in terms of proper blood flow, but it's definitely important in terms of with the whole libido, having the desire. If you have no desire, if you're too tired, if you don't have the sexual energy for sex, you generally not going to have an erection. So that's where the main focus of hormones are is to get your body back in shape for sex.
This method that we were talking about center on nitric oxide production. Not so much testosterone, but the other methods. Center on nitric oxide production. Now, the nitric oxide therapy is an integral part of how to do this, trying to get enough L-Arginine into your system, trying to get enough nitric oxide into your system strictly through diet is very difficult. So what we want to do is do supplements.

Interactive Timeline of the First World War
The Munitions of War Act - The First World War - August 1915
By August of 1915 the supply of munitions (bombs) to the troops on the front-line was becoming difficult to maintain at the required levels. A combination of the U-boat campaign in the North Atlantic and working practices that were not tuned into the war effort led to quantities of arms and armaments regularly falling short of those required to sustain prolonged bombardments on the Western Front and in the Eastern theatre's of war. The solution was to revolutionise the way that industry worked, to create a war based economy. The Munitions of War Act was one of the key pieces of legislation required to make this need become a reality.
As a result of the Act working conditions changed, routing of supplies was altered so that munitions factories and related industries had priority over non essential enterprises. The Act was met with fierce resistance in some areas. Many industrialists were unhappy at having their production lines switched to munitions production, whilst workers in some areas were less than enthusiastic about the conditions in which they were required to work and the low pay afforded by the government.
Ultimately the Act was a success as the armed forces continued to be supplied with munitions in increasing numbers: the armed forces of course increased there demands for munitions as large offensives were being planned, supply rarely met demand in these circumstances.

Personal writings, Hubby trouble, be warned.
Sunday, June 16, 2013
Well I didn't think today was going to be as lousy as it's turning out to be. BUT IT MIGHT.
I have hit a speed bump in my weight loss but I am not too concerned with it. We went out to eat last night and I had a burger and fries. I did not drink soda. I had 2 glasses of unsweetened tea that I used artificial sweetener with.
I didn't get in all of my water yesterday, maybe about half and I skipped exercise.
Had a fight with the hubby before I even got out of bed this morning. I swear I feel like I am being treated like a second class citizen and I don't know what to do about it.
Our 4 year anniversary is at the end of this month and I have been having the word divorce pop into my head quite a lot lately.
We have money issues. We live paycheck to paycheck and before we got married my husband still lived on the family farm and pretty much had the money to do whatever he wanted. Now he's got his own home and a mortgage and my kids (my son joined the army, and my daughter now has a baby).
I work, but he makes more money. He pays all the household bills and house payment and I pay for the car payment, the insurance on all vehicles and 90% of the grocery and household items.
I was laying in bed this morning. Sunday morning. MY DAY OFF. I never lay in that bed and watch tv. He usually goes in there in the evenings and watches whatever he wants. If I watch what I want to watch I do it in the living room. The living room tv has a loose wire or something and the picture skips on the bottom. This weekend, FREE channels, so it's 8 am and I think, lazy and movie.
Husband comes in. "Just so you know Im going to the garage and Im turning on the TV in there. (The TV's run off the same box so whatever you watch on one TV you have to watch on the other) I asked him, don't you think I deserve to lay in bed and watch a movie?
here comes another..."Just so you know..." We'll have to turn off the cable because I cant afford it anyway and pay all the other bills.
SO I said...I pay what I can out of my check, what do you want me to do?
Then I said...Are you going to turn your phone off too? Well THAT pissed him off.
He has a data plan on his phone and can access internet, facebook, the weather...I have a generic phone with calling and texting.
You see, back when I needed a new phone I told him Id rather have more channels (Hallmark) on the TV rather than have a fancy phone. I said this in passing one day. He goes out and picks out a phone for me and says...here ya go.
I never saw any more channels on the tv.
I am starting to think I am married to a big baby.
Another issue is healthcare. He has several health issues. If I have any, I don't know of them because I have never gone to the Dr except once in the last 10 years. For strep throat.
We do not have the money for me to even get new glasses, but we spend $200-300 a month on his medication.
I am telling you if I had a place to go I just don't know that Id even be here any more.
For the most part we are happy??? But I know that I have always loved him more than he loves me. You might ask yourselves what is to love he sounds like a jerk. He IS acting like a jerk, but I think out of stress. Yes he is a bit spoiled. But he has taken on more than a lot of men would have.
Sometimes I wonder if he is acting like this out of guilt of not being able to do more for me? Feeling backed into a corner.
I know his medical issues are serious, and mine are just what if's...
He is a diabetic and on insulin.
I don't know, I just don't know what to say to him.

If there is anything that will ruin a marriage faster, it is money problems. And then there is the power struggle in the beginning of a marriage.
I won't even try to evaluate your situation. What are the benefits of staying together? What are you gaining by being married to this man and then ask yourself, is it worth it?
We all need balance and this might give you a starting position.
And then communication can work its way in when you have evaluated all sides.
I really do feel for you. Sometimes situations like that can make one feel trapped. And that can lead to all kinds of problems...health, weight, stress, etc.
I had problems in my marriage and slowly I gave up my power as long as what he was doing wasn't illegal or too costly. We were married 35 yrs. and h
e died nearly two years ago and I had a real problem adjusting to my "new" (?) position in life. I stress new because I didn't realize just how much of myself I had lost in the marriage by giving in to him along the way. Even though my mind had adjusted and I was okay (well, not entirely really) with things.
Your blog was very illuminating. I don't envy the decisions you must make or the changes within yourself if you decide to stay.

well, you have to do what's best for you- I have been married 23 years to someone who is also diabetic- doesn't take of himself and makes 3-4 times the salary I used to make. If I was still working at my old job where I made almost 1/2 what he made I would seriously consider leaving because my sons are now 19 and 22- But I can't even afford the rent on an apt at this point. Money problems are terrible and the constant arguing really can bring you down to the point where you want to eat.
I guess its the old Dear Abby question- are you better with him or without him?
You have only been married a short time- there's a better chance you can both change if you want to. You can be happier if you both want to but its hard work.

You've just described a big part of my life. We love each other, but I wonder sometimes if I am more of a roommate than a partner. In our house sitting down and trying to talk out problems leads to him blaming, excuses, anger and then 3-4 days of him sucking up because he's afraid I'll leave. Ups and downs, ups and downs. More ups than down, though. Hang in there, girl, hang in there. Guard your happiness.

Marriage takes a lot of give and take. Money troubles happen and we have to compromise without threatening divorce every time something happens that we are not happy about. You and your DH need to sit down with clear minds and open hearts and work things out. Do so without bringing the petty stuff into it. Take it from me I have been married for 45 years and I have learned throughout the years that compromise is the answer. Good Luck!!!

Can you find the time for the 2 of you to sit and talk about what is going on in your marriage? You are only ones who can decide if it is worth saving. I dont think he is a jerk. I just know men see thinks differently than we do.

Edition:English | 中文简体NORTHNEWS:A State-level News Websit,a Leading News Portal in Inner Mongolia
ROME, March 23 (Xinhua) -- Carlos Tevez scored the winner to help Juventus beat 10-man Catania on Sunday in a bad-temper Italian Serie A game which saw both coaches dismissed.
Thanks to the angled drive from Tevez in the 59th minute, Antonio Conte's men achieved their sixth consecutive league win after overcoming a spirited performance from the league's bottom club and restored Juve's 14-point lead over Roma.
Catania were left with 10 men in the 67th minute when Gonzalo Bergessio was sent off for a second yellow for elbowing Giorgio Chiellini.
Both coaches had earlier been sent to the stand following an incident in which Bergessio avoided a second yellow earlier after appearing to catch Leonardo Bonucci with his arm.
Juventus head coach Conte warned his side against any complacency as Roma still have the chance to grab the Serie A title from them
"It's another step towards the Scudetto. We have to give credit to Roma, who are also doing something incredible, so we need to keep on our toes as nothing has been decided yet," he said.
He suggested that the Europa League could distract his team.
"The Europa League will make us play every three days and Roma have shown they won't give up to the end, so we can't lower our guard," he said.
Napoli's chance to secure a Champions League spot suffered a blow as they lost to Fiorentina 1-0 at home.
Joaquin's header two minutes from time secured the points against Rafa Benitez's side, who played more than half the game with 10 men after Faouzi Ghoulam's straight red card.
The victory ensured the Florence club is now seven points behind Napoli.
Fiorentina head coach Vicenzo Montella insisted that his side could finish third this season.
"This is an extremely positive day for us," he said. "Our duty is to give our all, to keep those behind us further away and close up on those ahead of us. It's our duty to believe in third."
His Napoli counterpart Rafa Benitez was concerned about his side's prospect of finishing second this season.
"I continue to have faith and am still targeting Roma in second place. Of course it's a concern the gap has opened up to six points, but we have to do our duty and see what happens. When we play like this, we have to win," he said
Milan drew 1-1 with Lazio to avoid a fourth consecutive Serie A defeat but remained in the bottom half of Serie A.
They went ahead just before half-time when Kaka's cross was directed in by the unfortunate Anbdoulay Konko, but Lazio hit back through Alvaro Gonzalez's first goal of the season in the second half.
Mario Balotelli almost won it for Clarence Seedorf's side but saw his fierce shot cannon back off a post.
Inter were shocked at home as they lost to Atalanta 2-1. A brace from Giacomo Bonaventura, including a 90th minute winner, gave the visitors the win.
The 24-year-old put Atalanta ahead after 35 minutes only for Walter Mazzarri's men to equalize instantly through Mauro Icardi.
Inter hit the woodwork three times as they went in search of a winner and were hit with a sucker punch at the death when the unmarked Bonaventura's header condemned the home side to only their second home defeat in Serie A this season.
Parma are level on points with Inter but stay sixth after seeing their three-game winning run ended after a 1-1 draw with Genoa.
Elsewhere, Bologna climbed out of the relegation zone after Lazaros Christodoulopoulos bagged a 78th minute penalty to secure a 1-0 win against Cagliari, and Udinese won by the same score against Sassuolo who remain deep in trouble.
Sampdoria made it three wins in four with a 5-0 demolition of Verona.

Hello. With dloader, one of my DragonFly box no longer waits 10 seconds before it starts the kernel. At first it prints Booting [kernel] in 10 seconds... but the next number is not 9 but some negative number with 4 or 5 digits. I suspected that the CMOS battery is worn out, because it's a 5-year old ASRock main board, but after trying more than 10 boots each for 2.6.3 and -DEVELOPMENT from yesterday (I used the official live img files, so I doubt it's a compile problem on my side), I started to think that it's not the battery, but it's something to do with the boot loader. This is the only PC that has the problem though, and other PCs boot just fine. I also added some printf's around autoboot() and installed it to the hard drive in this PC, and found that the negative number is actually caused by occasional odd values returned by time(); it mostly increases by one, but sometimes much larger values is returned, then back to the original series. The old boot loader loads the default kernel before entering the menu, which takes several seconds, so I tried adding a delay(10 * 1000000) just before calling autoboot(), but the time still leaps. I'm out of idea and welcome any suggestions. Best Regards.

Average at best review by Peyton on 2/6/2015
This Oh Yeah bar has both positives and negatives, but I would probably not recommend this. However, this is one of the few bars that has healthy fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated). However, there are negatives. The carb count isn't premier for a cutting bar and the protein count is too low. Definitely better options.*DISCLAIMER. Individual results may vary.
Really good! review by Michael on 11/6/2014
These bars are really really good. The base layer gets a bit too hard when you refrigerate, but at room temperature they taste amazing. The Candies flavour has little M&M like chocolates in it, and the fudge brownie is really chocolatey.
These Good Grab versions are half size (so half the calories) and are great for a little treat.
Highly recommended.*DISCLAIMER. Individual results may vary.

Perfect Spy: The Incredible Double Life of Pham Xuan An, Time Magazine Reporter & Vietnamese Communist AgentBy Larry BermanSmithsonian Books
In the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Pham Xuan An is a cult hero and the subject of two officially sanctioned books and a 10-part television documentary produced by Ho Chi Minh television in 2005. An's battered Renault is enshrined in an Army museum along with the pistols his comrade Tu Cang used to kill two American officers. When An died last September, Vietnam proclaimed two days of public tribute before a funeral with full military honors. He is buried beside other spies in special area of Ho Chi Minh City national cemetery.
There is even a character who represents Pham Xuan An in the 2002 remake of The Quiet American, starring Michael Caine. The film was a big hit in Vietnam where An is the communist equivalent of royalty. He got all those honors by helping the Communist regime prevail, and for being responsible for thousands of American deaths.
An joined the Communist party in 1953, at the tail end of the Stalin Era. "I followed what they told me to do," An helpfully explains. The Party wanted him to choose journalism and learn American culture, in order to become a better spy. According to Larry Berman, Pham Xuan An was motivated only by the "noblest of goals for Vietnamese nationalism." An fought "for liberty and against poverty," according to Berman, a political science professor at UC Davis and author of three books on Vietnam.
An became a spy, Berman explains, "when Communist Party leaders recognized that the United States was well under way in a process of replacing the French colonialists in Vietnam." Actually, the emerging colonial power was the Soviet Union, whose expansion the United States was trying to contain.
According to Party bosses, An was the only agent they sent to America, where he attended Orange Coast College, then became something of a celebrity while interning at the Sacramento Bee. He struck up key friendships and learned the culture well before Communist Party bosses ordered him back to South Vietnam. There his language, networking and schmoozing skills proved a strategic asset for the VC major cause: unification of the country under a Soviet-backed Communist dictatorship. An's many contacts provided him with classified information, which he never had to steal. His reports put the Viet Cong right in the U.S. war room.
To Berman's credit, he includes the judgment of An's Time colleague Zalin Grant who said in a 2005 letter to the New Yorker that after enjoying access to briefings by generals Westmoreland, Abrams and ambassadors Lodge and Bunker, on operations and strategy, An would disappear, "presumably to brief his comrades in the tunnels of Cu Chi. I have always questioned the American journalists who insist on romanticizing An. It was one thing to have been against the Vietnam War – many of us were – but quite another to express unconditional admiration for a man who spent a large part of his life pretending to be a journalist while helping to kill Americans."
Berman concedes An's actions brought suffering and death to many, "albeit in indirect ways." As Berman told the Sacramento Bee, "He spied just for his country. Whether he was an enemy or not, I consider that a noble thing." An claims that he never knowingly hurt anyone and was just defending his country. That will come as little consolation to relatives and friends of those with names on that long black wall in Washington. Perfect Spy is a sack dance on their graves.
According to Berman, the VC won the battle of Ab Bac because of his An's work. The United States withdrew troops in 1973 and in 1975, the Russian tanks of North Vietnam rolled into Saigon. Though grateful for his work, the new regime thought An had too much contact with Americans and submitted him to a "detoxification" process before making him a big star. Berman doesn't go into it, but the new Stalinist regime in Vietnam was more repressive than its Soviet sponsors, without liberty but with plenty of poverty. (Readers might want to consult The Vietnamese Gulag by Doan Van Toai and David Chanoff, and various Amnesty International reports.)
No detail here about the "re-education" camps, and nothing about the fleeing boat people, though An supposedly tipped some off to the best ocean currents and shipping routs. One doubts it, along with his claim that, "If I had known during the war that we would just be trading the Americans for the Russians, I'd have stuck with the Americans.
Berman's fathomless credulity buys it all but maintains some sense of mystery. Why, for example, was the son of a Pham Xuan An, a key Communist spy, allowed into the United States at a time when visas were hard to get? An Phem, who had also studied in the USSR, graduated from the University of North Carolina then went to law school at Duke on a Fulbright fellowship. Perfect Spy includes a photo of Ah Phem posing in Ho Chi Minh City with President George W. Bush.
Berman suggests this is a question that might never be answered, but he does settle others. Perfect Spy goes the extra mile to serve up a worshipful regime-approved treatment of a dutiful Communist Party member, a Vietnamese general, an agent of totalitarianism, and a man responsible for thousands of American deaths. That is how he should be remembered, not as a friendly guy who thought seals' testicles were an aphrodisiac and became known as the best trainer of fighting cocks in Saigon.
Some people fake their deaths but Pham Xuan An faked his life. He fooled many American journalists and leftists, because they wanted the same things, including American withdrawal. Perfect Spy succeeds at showing adversaries of the United States just how easy it is to spin American academics and journalists.

I've been 'up north' this week in Manchester as part of my new job (our head offices are there), and in between a shed load of intros and meetings I managed to find time to wander around the Northern Quarter, the city's bohemian hub.
At my job I am lucky enough to work on some fun and exciting projects. We started collaborating with Thomas Cook Airlines in December on how to best highlight the Manchester to Las Vegas route – and one thing that dominated our research into social listening from the last few years was the prevalence of glamorous celebrity parties and the launch of Britney Spears' residency at the Hard Rock Hotel. This cemented what we knew about Vegas; it is just as much a lifestyle destination as a travel one.Based on this we put together a blogger event, hosted at the Milton Club in Manchester. The theme was 'Divas Glam Vegas' – an opportunity for local lifestyle bloggers to enjoy the glamour of Las Vegas first hand.
I spent the first part of the night at the entrance welcoming the attendees to the event with one of our signature cocktails and a pack of Divas postcards featuring facts about Vegas. We also have a Divas Glam Vegas micro site with further information, including the lovely illustrations that were made for the campaign. Once inside the main part of the venue, attendees had the opportunity to take a chance on the roulette table, select from a range of treatments at the beauty station, or take some Vegas themed snaps in the photo booth.
We use Tagboard to present a live stream of activity on social media against our hashtag #divasglamvegas to the bloggers could catch themselves on screen just like divas do!
Our roulette table was a diva suitable pink and purple, kitted out with custom 'diva dollar's featuring our bespoke branding. The top earned for the night won a bottle of bubbly for their efforts.
The highlight of the night for me was our Britney Spears impersonator Michaela Weeks. She looked so much like the real thing and even treated us to a performance of Toxic on the bar!
Overall it was an amazing night full of great company. If you want to see more from the bloggers who attended check out the Tagboard below! Thomas Cook offer flights from Manchester, Belfast, Glasgow and London from £205 so being a Diva is pretty damn affordable.

Can you check the policy to see if it does renew automatically as they may have changed the term from last year?

Ok - then you could argue that you relied on that term.
As such you could argue they are responsible for the increase in costs as they did not notify you that you were not insured.

A favorite Regency romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens…
Lenore Lester was perfectly content with her quiet country life. She took steps to remain inconspicuous and tried her best to show indifference, but Jason, Duke of Eversleigh, could easily see behind her disguise. Though the awkward lady hid behind glasses and pulled-back hair, she couldn't cover her beauty. Persistent in his affections, the notoriously charming Jason was determined to loosen the hold she had on her heart.
