As is the case with the Columbia River, the Missouri River has been tamed by a series of dams and other structures so that the original river has almost completely disappeared in terms of an ecosystem with a diverse community of river invertebrates.
A very good introduction is provied by Northern State University in South Dakota; includeing pre-glacial drainage.
The following quote is from the above link: "The Missouri River of today, now "tamed," is very different from the river prior to human influence. Today, the river is divided into approximately three equal parts: the lower one-third, below Sioux City, Iowa is channelized ; one-third is impounded by six large dams; and one-third consists of remnant "free flowing" stretches of water. Only one percent of the river's entire length remains truly uncontrolled by humans (emphasis mine}."
A number of other very useful and interesting sources are available in print and on line:
See table of contents on right of above link.

More information and background on management, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and description of the river:

Dams that affect the Missouri in North Dakota
To focus on my objectives, and to emphasize again from the quote at the top of this page:
1. Only one percent of the entire length of the Missouri remains truly uncontrolled by humans."
2. Today, the river is divided into three equal parts:
a. the lower one-third, below Sioux City, Iowa is channelized.
b. the middle one-third is impounded by six large dams mostly in North and South Dakota, but one major dam in Montana.
C. the upper one-third, mostly Montana consists of remnant "free flowing" stretches of water.
The Questions
As for the Columbia River, the questions here is about the original river invertebrate communities, and also the present condition of various parts of the river.:
Middle River, The Dakotas
For the first topic, I am interested in the mid region of the river for personal reasons. It is a section of about 700 river miles, from west central North Dakota to southeastern South Dakota. This section is now a series of lakes formed by several dams. The river floods that I remember as a child in central South Dakota no longer occur. The situation is similar to that of the Columbia River. The Oahe Dam in South Dakota near Pierre backs water into North Dakota almost to Bismarck, and another dam north of Bismarck forms a lake that reaches to within a few miles of the Montana border. More dams are found downstream from Pierre to the Nebraska border.
The river insects and invertebrates that originally occurred are now gone from the main Missouri River channel in this mid section. I am not sure if detailed ecological studies were made before dam construction, but I am not aware of samples or data if they do in fact exist.
What was the original invertebrate benthic fauna of the middle, Dakota, sectionof the Missouri River? What eviicence is available?
A partial answer may be that a number of significant tributaries enter the Missouri in this section, especially in western South Dakota.. The Little Missouri is a significant tributary in North Dakota, and in South Dakota, tributaries entering the Missouri are the Grand, Moreau, Cheyenne, Bad, White, James, Vermillion, and Big Sioux Rivers, plus the Keya Paha, entering in Nebrasks.
Recent scientific reports indicate that these tributaries have supported or now support a number of characteristic river species of mayflies . Again, these species apparently are gone from the main channel at the present time, but presumably historically occupied the main Missouri channel.
Mayflies from Missouri tributaries in South Dakota (Guenther and McCafferty 2008, Mayflies of South Dakota):
1. Camelobaetidius warreni (Traver and Edmunds): Cheyenne River, Little Missouri River, also found in the Saskatchewan River.
2. Pseudocloeon dardanum (McDunnough) Vermillion River, Cheyenne River, also found in the Saskatchewan River.
3. Caenis latipennis Banks Little Missouri River, also in the Sask. Riv.
4. Baetisca lacustris, Yankton, Missouri River, Vermillion River, also Sask. Riv.
5. Cercobrachys cree, Cheyenne Riv., also Sask. . Riv.
6. Hexagenia bilineata, H. limbata, both at Yankton, Missouri River, the latter also Sask. Riv.
7. Heptagenia elegantula, as H. diabasica, Missouri Riv., Vermillion Riv., also Sask. Riv.
8. Heptagenia flavescens (Walsh), Vermillion, Missouri Riv., also Sask. Riv.
9. Maccaffertium terminatum (Walsh), Vermillion, Grand Rivers,. also Sask. Riv.
10. Isonychia bicolor (Walker), I. rufa, Grand River, Little Missouri, at Sioux Falls; A similar species, Isonychia campestris , is found in the Sask, Riv.
11. Leptophlebia nebulosa, Cheyenne River, also Sask. Riv.
12. Ephoron album (Say), Grand River, Moreau Rivers, also Sask. Riv.
13. Traverella albertana, Grand River, Standing Rock Res., also Sask Riv.
14. Pseudiron centralis, Tripp Co., Keya Paha Riv., also Sask. Riv.
Although the above 14 species are shared by the Saskatchean River and Missouri River tributaries, especially in South Dakota, a general statement about the group of 14 is that they are mostly common and widespread. Rare or uncommon species such as Raptohetagenia cruentata, Macdunnoa nipawinia, and Ametropus sp. are not present.
A further observation is that a several unusual species and Families are found in South Dakota but not in the Saskatchewan River system:
1. Palingeniidae - Pentagenia vittigera (Walsh), Yankton, Missouri River.
2. Leptophlebiidae- Neochoroterpes oklahoma, Cheyenne River, Little Missouri (Choroterpes albiannulata is found in the Sask. River).
3. Potamanthidae - Anthopotamus myops (Walsh), Vermillion River, Big Sioux River, Brookings (James Riv.?).
4. Oligoneuriidae - Homoeoneuria alleni, Keya Paha, Big Sioux, "common to the Missouri River drainage" (Guenther and McCafferty)
Under Construction
The Upper River, Montana Mayflies
In general these records are from the upper, undamed areas of the Missouri, or from the Yellowstone drainage, which flows into the Missouri at the North Dakota border. Thus, the species below were almost certainly historically found in the Middle, now flooded, sections of the Missouri in the Dakotas. Notice that many rare and unusual mayflies below, e.g. Raptoheptagenia, Macdunnoa, Lachlania, are not found in the Dakota tributaries, but are shared with Saskatchewan.

- The Temple at Cumae - They reach Cumae(look at map) finally. Some people go out to find food, but Aeneas goes up to temple/shrine of Apollo as told by his dad's ghost in the dream. There he meets this sibyl/priestess girl called Deiphobe ,she is like osme kinda special priestess for Apollo, does what he says, gets possessed by him for speaking and stuff. She leads Aeneas & Co. into this special cavern(ther's a hundred lips lining the walls to make Apollo's voice louder) and commands Aeneas to start his prayer for Apollo.
- The Sibyl's Prophecy - Aeneas begins his speech: "yo Apollo! mah homie! so yea, you like ordered us to go to italy cause we'regonna found this cool place, but we've gone through so many things. You put us into this, so we're asking you to make sure this was not for nothing, ya hear? we'll make some shrines for you in Rome and stuff, if that's what you want." Deiphobe starts convulsing as she gets possessed by Apollo. Apollo speaks through her and those wall-lips: "Your troubles at sea are pretty much gone, but now there's more trouble at land! woohoo! I think i forgot to mention that earlier but w/e. You'll have your Xanthus and Simois thigns that you had at Troy. You'll have a mighty war, Juno will continue to try to stop y'all."
- Aeneas Asks Entry to Hades(also called Dis) - Deiphobe ends her rant thing, and Aeneas is all "yo mrs. sibyl girl thing, i can to pelase go to the underworld? my dad liek totally requested me to go down there with your help, so please to go down?" Deiphobe then says "pssh, Aeneas, it's real easy to get into the underworld! the door is always open yada yada. But, getting out is HARD. You might make it cause you're the son of a goddess and jupiter kinda loves you. An easy way to know if you'll get back here alive is this: there's a golden branch on a tree osmewhere in these surrounding woods. if it breaks off easily, you'll get back fine; if not, well ya might die! cheers! :3. Oh also before that, one of your trojans died, so bring him back here, bury him, sacrifice a couple animals and all, then you can get in." (If this is confusing, please ask me to elaborate)
- The finding of Misenus' Body - So Aeneas and his pal are walking along back to the beach wondering who this dead Trojan is that died and where he is. They get to the beach and find him, Misenus. He is a trumpeter and challenged a god to a trumpet-off (cause i guess he boasted about being a good trumpeter and all), Triton overheard him and drowned him in a wave for being a boasting bitch. They start to construct a pyre around the dead body. ( I thought the sibyl said to bury him, but they didn't. oh well, either way they finished her task). They start going into the forest to find wood for the pyre.
- The Funeral Pyre - Aeneas is helpign to find wood and is thinking to himself that it will be hard to find the golden branch in such a large forest. After he finishes his though, two doves fly down from the sky and land on the grass; Aeneas knows that his mom Venus sent them down to help him find the branch. They fly, he follows, he find the branch, and he easily plucked it off the trunk He returned to the pyre, helped finish it, burned it, everyone put gifts on the pyre and stuff ceremonial-like, and a small tomb was made for him.
- The Sacrifice to Hecate - Aeneas brings his branch to the priestess girl, they head over to this other cave which i guess is the actual entrance to the underworld. the two of them along with some other people i think start doing a shitload of sacrifices, murdering all these poor animals and burning them likes it's a cruel, sick, and twisted joke. Anywys the priestess makes the other people go away, and leads Aeneas into TEH UNDERVOWLRDZZZ
- The Entrance to Hades - The first sentence seems like it's Virgil askign the go'ds permission to describe this place. He goes on to describe the underworld, with personified beings of Hate, Evil Pleasure, Sleep, War, Old Age, Hunger, etc etc. More creatures are described liek the Hydra form Hercules' adventure. The priestess girl explains that they're bodiless shadows, becaue Aeneas was wanting to slice them.
- The Shores of Acheron - They rech one of the rivers of the underworld, Acheron. There's a huge crowd of spirits waiting to be taken to the other side. the boatman is Charon. Aeneas is all stupid and doesnt know why they're amassed on one side, and the priestess girl is all "oh man dont you know? they died without a proper burial, yo! You're the son of a goddess, ya shoulda known that silly!" He sees two dudes from Juno's storm waaaaay back in Book I who died.
- The Shade of Palinurus - You member that dude who Neptune wanted as a sacrifice, when Venus was all "wahhhhhh, save mah son neptune, wahhhhh"? Yea Palinurus is that guy, who was forced asleep and fell off teh boat. And Aeneas spotted him, and asked what happened. Palinurus says he floated for 3 days, landed at some beach somewhere finally, and was killed by some brutes, Palinurus begs Aeneas to either bring him across the rivier, or go back to his body and bury it. The priestess girl chastises him cause he's a numbnut and isnt yet allowed to cross the river. She then says in due time he'll be buried and the place will be named after him.
- Charon the Ferryman - So Charon, the boatman, gets all whack with anger. "Yo guys, y'all arent dead! I cant tkae you over! I did it for Hercules, Theseus, and some other dude; they all did bad shit! I TOK THE BLAME FOR IT! No WAY am i letting you two cross." And the priestess is all like "biiiiiitch, this guy be Aeneas, son of Venus. we're not even here for bad stuff, jsut to see his dad. you be so stupid. oh also look at this golden branch!" And Charon was all ":O omh golden brnach! yea sure ill take y'all over. Ima make so much money at the pawn shop!" and they sailed to the other side.
- Beyond the Acheron - They stroll on by the almighty Cerberus, she throws a small drugged pellet, Cerberus eats it and WHAM it falls unconscious. Im startign to think the priestess girl is an all around badass. They stroll on by deformed babies that were left to starve or drowned by their moms, next is the dudes under death penalties but they were innocent, then some suicide peeps.
- The Shade of Dido - Aeneas saw Dido's spirit in this place where dead lovers are, and he tried to ask her if it was his fault she committed suicide, and he tried explaining that the gods made him do it and all. She made no response, seemed unphased by his presence, and retreated over to her first husband, and i think they cuddled or something. I guess since she died of love, then their state cant be changed.
- The Shade of Deiphobus - They reach a place where famous warriors died in battle. The warriors want to see Aeneas apparently, and try to walk with him. Anyways Aeneas sees Deiphobus, one of Priam's (many many) sons who died in battle, and is horribly mutilated. Deiphobus describes some stuff about the invasion of Troy with the trojan horse, something his wife, and I think Ulysses killing him. Finally he asks aeneas what bought him to the underworld.
- The Sibyl Describes Tartarus - Aeneas and Deiphobus are yapping their mouths off, and the priestess girl is all "Yo aeneas, we're wasting time here! lets get a move on!" She says the road on the right leads to their destination nad the one on the left leads to Tartarus, the place where the wicked, sinners adulterers etc, and the titans are held captive and punished forever. Aeneas wants her to explain the place, and she does. she explains who brings the people to the gate, the person guarding the gate, the Hydra in one part. she describes some of the Titans who imitated the gods and were punished. More descriptions of osme punishments and stuff.
- The Fields of Elysium - They continue on, and after placing the golden brach on a threshold get to the heaven part of the underworld, Elysium. Here there's description of the people like Dardanus who founded Troy, others who improved life with medicine or arts, etc etc. The priestess asks the head honcho 'Musaeus' where Anchises is, and he started leading them towards him.
- The Meeting with Anchises - they reach Anchises, greet each other: "omigod son!" "omigod daddy!" and they cry a bit. But then Aeneas tries 3 times to hug his dad but he can't, and i got sad :\ lol
- The Souls Due for Re-Birth - Aeneas sees a river with floating spirits i nthe distance, and asks what's up with that. Anchises says those are spirits that have drunk from that river, the river Lethe, and have forgotten their past life. They will get reincarnated he says. And Aeneas then asks how reincarnation works.
- The Transmigration of Souls - Anchises describes how it all works, something about a cycle and whatnot. it's all pretty vague, and idk if it's important. Cliff/Sparknotes dont put much detail into it.
- The Future Race--The Alban Kings - Anchises leads the two of them somewhere away from the others in Elysium, and starts to explain why he called Aeneas there. He describes some of Aeneas' sons, which one is named after him, what cities some of the will found. Silvius Aeneas, the son named after him, will supposedly be a founder of a race of kings.
- The Future Race--Romulus and the Caesars - Anchises goes one to explain Romulus and his founding of Rome. (so i guess aeneas just founds some other city, his son founds Rome. annoying). He talks of Augustus Caesar who'll make a Golden Age. Some other stuff i have no clue what though.
- The Future Race--Republic and Beyond - A bunch of stuff with more future sons of Aeneas' lineage, their ruling, a whole lot of names I don't know. I dont think Cliff even mentions this section.
- The Future Race--Marcellus - He explains Marcellus, the heir to Aeneas and who dies at 19, and what he does.
- The Gates of Sleep - Finally they walk around and Anchises talk of some wars he and his people have to fight, how to defeat certain trials, and stuff about Latinus city and Laurentine people. lastly he leads Aeneas to the gate in which he can safely leave. after doing so Aeneas goes back to his people at the ships.

Hire The Best Plumbing Contractor! Here Are Easy-To-Follow Steps!
For regular work on ongoing projects, you need to find someone skilled and dependable who can promise long-term availability. There are some intelligent ways to go about finding the kind of plumbing repair contractor who can commit to an extended timeline. Here are some things to keep in mind as you start looking.
Ensure that the plumbing repair contractor has worked long enough with their suppliers since this reveals that they are persons of high integrity. If a contractor has worked with their supplier for more than 20 years, it means they are good to work with and it's a wise decision to hire such a contractor. These are good references to work with and can deliver your project with utmost professionalism.
Different states have different laws that apply to plumbing repair contractors. If a contractor holds a license in one state, it does not mean they understand the laws of another state in respect to improvement. Only hire a contractor that is familiar with your state's regulations.
Before choosing your plumbing repair contractor go online and look up example contracts to familiarize yourself with the stuff that are regularly in an agreement with the type of contractor you need to hire. This can really help to bring up things you may not have considered before and you will be fully prepared with what to expect when you set down with your contractor.
Try using social media network sites such as Facebook to look for plumbing repair contractors. Often you can find out good and bad reviews and comments about them on sites such as these.
Ensure that the contract is always around you so that you can pull it out anytime the plumbing repair contractor asks for another check. Ensure that before you add the contractor money if, the job is at the stage where it is supposed to be or at its right level. You should have been given a written estimate of each item to be bought and so you should know of how much money the contractor will need to start the next phase of the project.
You can take a drive with your plumbing repair contractors to other projects that resemble what which you want to accomplish. If the contractor understands the look and feel you want to obtain, they will be able to pick the correct materials' big difference in the final project can be made by small details.
Make sure your plumbing repair contractor agrees with the cleanup clause in the contract. That way you will not have to clean up the mess when the contractor makes any mistake. And also make sure he comes back for the final inspections. Make sure that is in the contract as well.
Lunch meetings are not ideal for interviewing plumbing repair contractors. In crowded restaurants, you may not have a chance to ask all of the questions you need to ask. You might also find the environment distracting. Always seek to meet at a quiet location free of distractions where you can conduct a thorough, proper interview.
When you are dying to know more about the topic of plumbing consulting, go ahead and visit Yahoo and search for plumber novi mi. You'll be satisfied to know you did!

If you have small children, you know that there is no such thing as a full night of sleep. Long after they have given up the need to get up at night to eat they still get up for a variety of things. One of the biggest things is fear. Along with the kids night lights that you have for them in their rooms, you may want to have a few more. Have one in the bathroom, if they are old enough to go on their own, and one in the hallway near your room if they need to come get you. They will feel better knowing they can come to you when they need to.
With the introduction of the Asian culture to various countries in the world, Oriental designs have become more appreciated by many. This includes home decorations. Paper lanterns are mostly used in countries like Japan and China. They now come in various colors and are simply adorable as lamps in a kid's room.
Some children's may like certain colours which in that case colorful catchy lights can be a good option. Well lighting your child's room should co-ordinate with the overall decor but having that one wild lighting idea which excites your boy or girl is a must. Choose atleast one novelty theme to add a vibrant mood to your child room that compliments their hobbies and personality. Afterwards try to understand what kind of activities will be taking place in the room. Like sleeping, doing home work, entertainment, computer activities and many more such things. Parents should select task lighting that is most conducive to the different activities children pursue in their room. This will make the job of selecting and fixing task lighting to brighten up specific area used for an activity much easier.

How to Know You Have Hired the Wrong Attorney in Your Divorce.
I woke up this morning needing to tell you something that shines a light on what is most important in hiring an attorney for your divorce. You see, one of the reasons I started this business (being an attorney myself) and feel so passionate about it is because I have seen family law attorneys (and attorneys in other areas of the law) become part of the process in a not so positive way. Some attorneys thrive on conflict, and others thrive on the power it gives them to advocate on behalf someone who cannot advocate for themselves as well. Being a public defender, immigration attorney and GLBT advocate, I know latter syndrome really well. It makes the attorney feel better that they are able to take the burden off the client and some become almost a caretaker.
What often happens, though, is the client is disempowered by the relationship. The client relies and looks so up to the attorney representing him or her that the attorney becomes the client. The client is silenced. The client is not part of the process anymore. In family law, this is especially detrimental, in my view, to the process because the attorney-client relationship essentially ends and one of the key people in the family is not talking for him or her anymore. The compassion, love, memory of the relationship from that perspective no longer speaks. Once the divorce process is over then, that client is left to his or her own abilities to co-parent successfully, to communicate with his or her ex, and be an adult in life and in another (hopefully) healthy relationship.
Here are three very unique ways you know you have hired the wrong attorney to handle your divorce :
- Your attorney begins to say in negotiations or in discussions with you, "well, I could never sign something that says that" or "I would never agree to that." If your attorneys stops remembering that you are the one that must decide (with his or her advice, of course) whether it makes sense for you and your family to sign something, you have a red flag. If you begin looking to your attorney for every answer and have difficulty going inside yourself, you may need to seek counsel elsewhere to break the cycle. I don't care how much you want to bow out of the divorce process, when you do, you are not being an adult in the process. I will save this for a future blog post because I was there one time and can speak to the feeling very well. But, to avoid all now only makes it worse later.
- Your attorney never gives you an understanding of where the other side is coming from. There are always two sides to any case, and if you are in litigation, a court may be asked to decide. If your attorney accepts your story wholeheartedly and goes after the other side without thinking, asking or talking with you about your spouse's emotions and triggers and the positives of his or her case or what a court might do in this situation, you have another red flag. This is when you end up in court having spent tens of thousands of dollars and then get surprised by the result. (and, usually you realize that you could have had that result in the beginning just trying to work it out.)
- Your attorney communicates with your spouse or spouse's attorney on something important to you without discussing it or showing you the communication. Talk about how miscommunication happens and how it escalates conflict. Attorney-Client communication is key to having a healthy relationship and a divorce process with the least amount of conflict and drama. When you already have more than two people in the mix, the telephone game is bound to start. But, if you have an attorney who clears the communications with you, you ask yourself the three questions : is this true, is this an attack or retaliation move, is this really how I want things to look in the future?, and you still feel like the communication should go out, then you are good to go.
Remember, you are wise. You know what is right when you are quiet, still and listen to your higher self. Love is truly the only answer here. Only you, not your attorney, can speak to that truth.

How To Make A Light Shift In Your Communication
We are going to live destitute without two incomes.
He doesn't really care how anything makes me feel.
He doesn't love me so could care less about working anything out.Or my worries about my mother-in-law :She is never going to walk again.
What are we going to do about when she gets out of the hospital?
We are going to have to live in New Jersey to get everything done.It is so easy to go the way of negativity and worry isn't it? There are probably many worse thoughts that have come to mind. What is important is not to disregard the thoughts totally. Acknowledge they are there and coming up for you. What is important, however, is that you turn them around whenever possible to a positive thought. What do I mean? For example, let's use the thought or worry that he never loved me.Thought : He never really loved me.Now I can skillfully argue this case and present evidence for it — or I could have at that time. I would have been very emotional about it, actually, and sure of it. But what happens when you present all of your evidence? You stop, right? And, that's it. Your mind then believes it to be so and thinks it true. But, it is an illusion. What happens when your mind believes this negative thought is that your body feels awful. You feel depressed, angry, just plain down. And, the thought is only half true anyway. The other half true is the new thought.New thought : He always really loved me.I can find examples and evidence to back up both of these statements (and could have even back then — although more difficult, absolutely possible), but the new thought makes me feel so much better and helps me to be more loving towards him. It saves me from attack and him from attack.This exercise may not change the situation. You are still getting a divorce, but it changes the energy of your divorce. It will.
Only you have the choice. The one who sees it is the one who must act. (Who cares if you are the one who always comes around and helps to bring a halt to the conflict. That is okay. Embrace your role, don't feel resentful about it.)
I hope you have a blessed day today.
P.S. TODAY is the final day to register for the North Star Sessions. You have to register here to be a part of them : http://www.candacesmyth.com/

What's V-Day Got To Do With It?
First of all, I just want to let you all know how blessed I feel this morning to be here with you.
These last couple of weeks have been the scariest of my life, I think. My daughter has always been healthy, but we found ourselves in Children's Hospital last week with a bone infection. If you know the symptoms of such an infection, you know how painful and debilitating it is for anyone, much less a little one. I found myself thinking some dark thoughts several times, but I always meandered my way back with the tools I have learned on my life journey and that I share with you each week and with my clients. Kate is really okay now. We had to get the antibiotics going and after a week in the hospital we are home. After a few doctor's appointments, she will be back to school full-time. Grateful and feeling blessed beyond measure.
Life, the universe, god sends you these times for a reason. If we were never tested, we would not know much. We would not grow into the next us. They are reminders of our human-ness, our inability to make it through this life with trust of a more powerful source than ourselves.
Divorce is one of these.
In so many ways, divorce is a gift of spirit. It is here to help guide us into the next phase of our lives, however painful, it is here to guide us into a more joy-filled destiny. One in which we are even more present that we were before.
So, that brings me to Valentine's Day. This Thursday. Do you have a plan? Having a plan changes everything, it helps you to feel empowered because you are deciding affirmatively what you are going to do. There is no way for you to be sad and alone (and feeling like a victim) on Valentine's Day when you choose and take actionable steps to have the day you desire.
Here are some great ideas on what to do on Thursday to make this Valentine's Day a happy, nurturing one :
- Give to others – Go to a local nursing home or Children's Hospital, soup kitchen, where others need you. Find a cause you like and spend some time helping others. The true, time tested elixer for getting us out of our own pain-bodies, get up and give to someone else in need.
- Host a party – invite all your friends over to celebrate with you. Nothing keeps us busier than cooking, decorating and hosting a party for others. Relax with a few other friends, drink some wine and be together.
- Pamper yourself – treat yourself to something you love. Get a massage, a 95+ points bottle of wine, dark dark dark chocolate, bath bombs, a pedicure, restorative yoga. Spend some time and money on yourself. Or, just get cozy in bed with that book you haven't had time to open up lately.
- Write yourself a love letter – make a list of all the things you love about yourself, why not? You deserve it!
- Limit your exposure to romantic movies or love songs, doing so might only make you feel worse. So give yourself a break.

Sometimes life happens and you don't know what to do
Sometimes life happens and you don't know what to do.
My family was all in various doctors offices all day yesterday — with Kate. I am still so worried about how she is going to be. She has been complaining with butt pain and she can't walk very well. We seem to have figured it out, but we go back to the doctor today.
Times like these though make everything stop still for me.
I am triggered big time. I hold it together for Kate and then I lose it. I have lost so many people I loved tragically and suddenly and to have Kate suffering from something unknown throes me into trauma-panic mode. I am definitely mother bear and hen and all.
What has helped me is to repeat over and over what I am grateful for. I am grateful for so many things in my life right now. So many.
A repeating list of gratefulness is a huge part of holding it together.
My constant rose quartz stone is always with me. It gives me grounding and love.
My breath continues to work too.
We all fall on difficult times. Things do fall apart or seem to. This is what it is to be human. Things that go up, must come down. Things that go down, must come up. It is the fluidity of life. So, I try, I work on myself, on my trust of the universe, god. I pray, meditate, hold onto my rose quartz and breathe. I have been here before. And, I know that I have the tools to not let my negative (let's go into the dark ravine) mind take over. That is what I teach, after all.
I am here. I am grateful. You and I are loved. I promise to check back in at the end of the week.
With love and light,
P.S. I would truly be honored to have you in the North Star Sessions. I can't wait to go through the program with you myself. Its a six week program. Here 's the link for more information and to register : http://www.candacesmyth.com/the-north-star-sessions/ Remember, if you are in the DC area, we will be holding two in-person group workshops. I am so looking forward to having you there.Read More...
On Being Non-Violent and How to do it
There are a few things being celebrated here in our nation's capital today: Martin Luther King's birthday celebration and President Obama's second inauguration. It is a special day here and a busy one. My daughter Kate recited this quote in the car the other day when she said how difficult it was for her to understand most of King's speeches, except for this one, and she recited it in its entirety. I cried, of course :
I have been thinking lately about non-violent communication and how very important it is in the divorce process. So, with today being in honor of one of THE non-violence ministers and advocates, I think it is the right time to talk about it. It is also something that I plan to really dive into on the call this week. Have you registered yet? If you haven't yet, do that through this link. Spots are limited for the live call, so make sure you register early.
As I practice mindfulness everyday in my own life, there come times when I fall. I get so angry, fearful, insecure in my relationship that I begin to attack (a bit passive aggressively, I might add). I throw out words that mean nothing and probably would not sting me but hurt him badly. Even though I am not hitting — something you would easily think of as violent — I am throwing violent word punches. Oh, the damage words can do. You can't be perfect and that's okay. But, what you can do, is try and keep moving forward (not backward).
This is why, even though you have decided the relationship is over, taking a class or reminding yourself how to nonviolently communicate can make a world of difference in the divorce process (and beyond). This is one of the things that to me makes the North Star Sessions™ so different and so valuable. I didn't have this information when I went through my divorce. I had some innate ability sometimes to communicate but I mostly just muddled through and made lots of "violent" mistakes. It took almost two years to work through a settlement. That takes a lot of energy and money. By using some of these tools, you can save yourself thousands (I mean it) of dollars and worry and anxiety and time. And, that goes for work you must do post-divorce too.
To start, here are five nonviolent communication techniques to help you through your next negotiation debacle :
- Stop. Breathe. Notice the communication situation. What is really going on here? Step back and look at the situation without judgment. Step back from your own emotion and look at it.
- Look at your own judgmental thoughts. What judgment have you been tossing at the other person? Just notice it.
- Now that you have separated yourself from the judgmental thoughts and words, express how this conversation has made you feel or how you feel about what it is you are arguing about. For example, instead of saying "I feel like you never really listen to me!" say "I feel alone and misunderstood because when I speak you often talk over me."
- Identify for yourself what you need from the other person. In the example above, the need would be, I need him to listen to what I have to say.
- Express that need and ask for what it is you need with your whole heart. For example, "Can you please give me some uninterrupted time to finish and then please tell me what you heard me say?" In this example, one is not feeling like the other is listening and needs some reflection of what she is saying. Often, it is working both ways. Meaning, if one of the two feel like they are not being heard, the other feels the same. Once you begin this process, it changes the dynamic completely. It slows down the conflict and helps you to see one another as beautiful human beings again. To end, after the requester receives what she or he has asked for, thank them for listening, acknowledge what they have done. Appreciate (one of the five A's of an adult relationship).
Try them out and let me know how it went. Please email me your questions and insights. I would love to hear from you. Just hit reply to this email.

Have you reset for 2013?
Can you believe we are still in the first month of 2013? I have to say that I am truly grateful to have a few more weeks here. January of every year is so important for the rest of the year. It is also a big month of change. Those who are unhappy in their marriage or relationship find the new year the exact right time to take affirmative action in their situation — whether to leave the marriage, decide to start couples counseling, begin to take time for themselves to figure things out. January is a great time to make a move. I feel hopeful because I am finding more and more people who want to end their marriages in a more loving, peaceful way.
We all have the capacity to make a loving divorce and co-parenting relationship work. We do. And, many times it is our life path to work on our part in the conflict with our spouse or former partner. It is the work the universe or god has blessed us with. And, with each step through this work, we find ourselves wise, more healed, and better able to deal with the next great lesson.
So, with all this work, I want to give you a gift today for your January 2013.
This worksheet is part of the material for the very last week of the North Star Sessions. It is a worksheet to get you thinking more about what it is you want to do over the next six months. Get your gift here.
Now, right now, take five to ten minutes to free write, brainstorm, just let yourself go with 50 things you will do in the next six months. That is January through June. (And, in June, I will post the worksheet again for you so you can do it again.)
I love this exercise! I do it every year and sometimes more than once. Sometimes I get to 100.
Here are a few things on my list for the next six months : start rock climbing classes, take Kate to a museum every two weeks, finally complete that work of art (about my grandmother) that has been on my list for awhile, green juice daily, yoga three times a week, calendar time for writing my book.
Let me know what is on your list!

Happy New Year!
Let's be grateful for what 2012 brought to us — even the difficult times are there to bring us to new places, new beginnings.
I truly believe in the goodness of this new year. The universe is always rearranging itself for our best interest. And, I am only ever expecting positive results, no matter what is in front of me. (thanks to Fabienne Fredrickson, this has definitely become one of my new mantras!).
Last week, I was taking a hot bath with one of my new Lush bath bombs (Christmas present from Frank). A memory came to me about how often I saw falling stars as a child and teenager living in Alabama. I thought about how much I wish I could see stars more here in the city. I want to see more stars…… (but that's another subject that takes us to how much I need the country and Colorado mountains in my life I was thinking about one memory in particular. I was spending the night with my best friend, Amanda, I must have been 14 or so. And, she was having a spend the night party or something because there were quite a few girls around. We were walking down the dirt road she lived on and looking up at the sky and all the stars. And, we saw a falling star and I wished on it — like always, the same wish — I wish that I will forever be happy. I want to be happy. Others were wishing for things, for wealth, for particular boyfriends. I wished to be happy.
There is probably much you can take from this story. At the time, I truthfully did not think of myself as happy. I was having a rough time of it. I grew up in an ultra conservative environment in Alabama — and adolescence and my pushing the social mores — proved to be a really difficult time for me. So, I became a dreamer. I dreamed of leaving Alabama (which I later did), I dreamed and dreamed and dreamed and most of all I dreamed of one day being happy.
So, my wish on the star that night and those many falling stars I saw growing up in Alabama made me today think of HAPPINESS and our new year.
Is happiness on your list? Do you wish for it, have you ever?
The lesson I have learned over many years of healing, exploring my own depths as a human being and reading book after book about it is — you can wish to be happy all you want, but it is in choosing to be happy that makes it so. Happy conditions do not make us happy, being happy causes happy conditions. So, no more wishing on stars to be happy. I choose it period. No more questions. Happiness is not out there……… Happiness is right here and it has been here all along. We all have the same capacity, the same ability, the same happiness opportunity. We just have to notice it and choose it. That simple.
Being just is. It takes no time at all.
So, it's your choice — as it always is. You can either try to get happiness, try to do things to make you happy, or you can right now, this instant decide to be happy. Which do you choose this 2013?
How are you this January 2013? Where are you in the divorce process and how does this MML help you today? Please write to me.
With love and light,

How Busy Are You?
To begin, I just want to stop for a minute to pray for the families and friends of those beautiful little ones and big ones we lost this week. May their love and spirits carry us all into a much better world, into our higher selves. May we find more love and peace, may we come together like never before in love. Amen.
I have to be honest. My to do list right now is longer than I can handle. I have been recovering from bronchitis for going on three weeks now. My mother-in-law is in the hospital this morning for an angiogram. School is out on Friday. I have to get holiday cards out — still not done. And, those last minute gifts have to be bought too.
Realizing there are still unknowns and curve balls thrown at times, how do I want this week and next week to be? What would be the ideal way these next two weeks can turn out? How do I want to feel?
Joyful, Nurturing, Loving, Peaceful, Grateful, Magical, Calm, Rested, Wonder-full, Beautiful, Loved, All is Well, Healthy, Ease, Plentiful, Whole.
Take a moment to write down how you want to feel these next couple of weeks. Now, look at your calendar (I am looking at mine right now). Of the things you have scheduled, delete or mark through those activities that do not make you feel one of your ideal emotions. Figure out a substitute, just don't do it or ask someone else to do it for you.
You are the decider. You are responsible for how things will be for you. I am responsible for my next week too.
Ahhhhhhh. Thank you for being here this Monday morning. I need you to keep me straight too. You help remind me to take care of myself just as I remind you.
So, tell me what comes off your calendar this week? Send me an email. Let me know. And, I will let you know what is coming off mine!
Finally, this quote begins Marianne Williamson's newest book The Law of Divine Compensation. I wanted to share it with you today. It is powerful.
"The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or a hostile universe." – Albert Einstein

What Are You Choosing?
The universe or god supports every thought we choose to think and believe. We have a gazillion+ choices about what we think. The abundance, freedom from suffering is in the choosing. If we choose balance, harmony, peace and we allow those thoughts to permeate, our life expresses those thoughts.
In traumas — such as divorce, losing a loved one, losing a job — it is very difficult for our thoughts not to be negative and downward spiraling. But if we know that we have the power to take back our minds, that we want to feel abundant, loving, free from suffering, then we choose to do it. Knowing we can choose yet deciding to remain in the suffering, remaining a victim of circumstance, choosing to be the victim because it is all we know that brings us some validation, this is not the path out.
Divorce, just like anything else, can be a mindset jumble. It is supposed to be hard — on the couple, the kids, the finances.
But what if we choose to step out of that way of thinking?
It doesn't have to be all those things. Sure, emotionally we must still walk along the path to healing and that is going to take some time. But, we have a choice to make the divorce process — more enlightened or darker.
And, we hold, each of us, that responsibility. We hold the key to a loving new co-parenting relationship for a children to thrive in. We hold the key to release of heavy, angry emotions so that we can move forward into new loving relationships.
Every day, I am positively expecting loving movement forward in my divorce, no matter what I see in front of me.
The universe is rearranging itself for my best interest right now.
Close your eyes. Breathe deeply in. And out. Three long deep breaths. Write this down. Put it in a place you will see every day. And, say it aloud.
You hold the key. The power is within you. Every moment, you have a choice to make. When you know, the choice is with you and you hold that love and responsibility.
I would love to support you through this time. Let me know how I can do that.
With love and light,

I am eating oysters for Thanksgiving. What are you doing?
Life ebbs and it flows. Especially during the holidays. I wake up this morning full of life and strength. I can feel the new year peeping around the corner and it is winking, smiling. All of the hard work you are doing now is for you and your future.
I have to be honest about something though…. I am feeling a little bit lonely this Thanksgiving. I have my beautiful family — my husband and Kate, our two cats — Max and Oliver, our one year old puppy, Emily. But, I miss my big family in Alabama. I miss my sister and all my cousins. I miss my parents who are no longer living, my grandparents too, the food. My husband doesn't really understand it. He didn't grow up in a large family or with a deeply held culture around Thanksgiving. There was a routine. I knew every year what we would eat, who we would see, where we would go. It was loving and relaxing, warm and filled with connection. The smells were the same, the hugs, the couches, the football on TV.
This is what we feel when we experience loss. Loss of anything.
Those memories do not go away, they have helped to make you who you are.
And, although it does get easier each year without someone or without a particular routine, the pang of sadness can sometimes creep in. Instead of brushing it away, we sit with it. If you are feeling lonely or a lot of sadness during the holidays, here are a few things you can do to have a beautiful Thanksgiving.
- Cry a little.
- Feel the love inside. Just be with that feeling for a minute.
- Know you are loved. Affirm : I am loved because I exist, and the universe (or god) totally supports me.
- Remind yourself of all that is right in front of you. Get present with the abundance here and now. Breathe deeply. Tap the middle of your forward with your eyes closed.
- Give yourself a real hug for at least 10 seconds. Even rub your shoulders with your hands as you would another person. This feels amazing. You have to try it. You may feel weird about it at first, but if you do it, you will see the power in it.
- Call 3 people who you haven't talked to in a long time but with whom you share a deep connection and love. Openly receive the boost you need.
- Ask yourself right now what you want to add to your current experience from those experiences that you have lost. For example, I will make my Granny's very special Thanksgiving dressing (email me if you want the recipe). I may go out and buy some oysters to shuck out on the deck. We plan on getting our Christmas tree this weekend (which is really early for people where we live in DC), and I will turn on the little TV we have just so the sounds of football will be playing through the house — kind of like a candle that is lit.
What will you do that is different, the same, that will help you feel loved and supported this Thanksgiving?
Lots of love to everyone today and through this week. Please share your insights and stories with me. Let me know how I can support you further along your journey. I am holding office hours this coming Thursday from 2-3 p.m. Call me about anything on your mind.
With love and light,
P.S. Let's keep this work going. I am getting ready to open up a new North Star Sessions group. Keep watching for the details!Read More...

No Vista before SP15 Sep 2007
Apparently I'm not the only one thinking this way about Vista. Though it looks awful pretty, and if I bought a PC with it installed I'd probably have a hard time convincing myself to buy another XP license just so I didn't have to use Vista for a few months! On the flip side, I would definitely consider holding off a hardware purchase that included a Vista license for a few more months, knowing a Service Pack is imminent.
Of course, if they'd got it right from the start, I'd be running Vista already… as it stands, I'm not too likely to drop $200 on something that runs slower than XP, supports less hardware, has arguably-worse power management, and makes the occasionally excruciating UI mistake (most notable is the automatic replacement of the "sleep" button with "install updates and shutdown" where updates are available). Really, the main reason I'd switch is to have consistent UI between Office 2007 and the rest of the system (instead of the presently absurd Vista-ish (but not actually Vista) UI available on XP), newer hardware (insofar as XP isn't available), and a paid-for upgrade path… I'd rather fork out my money now and trust that another 3 service packs are coming, rather than pay full price for an OS and then pay full price again, and again. I acknowledge this is partially a psychological thing stemming from my opposition for paying for point-releases, but even so… many of the alleged 'upgrades' in OS X are thoroughly trivial.

Richard Sherman bolted onto the national stage with his wild postgame interview after winning the NFC championship game.
By now, America is well aware that Sherman is a Stanford-educated trash talker.
But he's also a film junkie, an incredibly hard worker, and a role model for every kid born into inner-city poverty.
Source: LA Times
He has a 'near-photographic memory,' according to SI. He memorized his 18-character, randomly generated Wi-Fi password.
He grew up in Compton, Calif., and was the first Dominguez High School grad in 20 years to get a scholarship from Stanford.
Source: LA Times
He's obsessed with watching tape. He has notes on every NFL receiver on his iPad, and watches film in bed.
He almost transferred out of Stanford because he clashed with coach Jim Harbaugh. His mom convinced him to stay.
Source: USA Today
In high school, he made USC coach Pete Carroll wait 2.5 hours to meet with him because he didn't want to leave class early.
Baiting QBs is his signature move. He'll intentionally let a receiver get open early in a play, and then recover and make a pick.
He once saw a homeless man under a bridge near the Seahawks facility, so he went to McDonald's and bought him food.
Source: Yahoo!

He told SI:
"Things I do probably look like madness, like I'm totally out of control, but there's always a plan. It's part of a greater scheme to get some eyes, to grow the market, to grow Seattle."

Asia Bibi still in Pakistan, says Foreign Office
Foreign Office Spokesperson Mohammad Faisal on Thursday clarified that Asia Bibi is still in Pakistan.
Islamabad: Foreign Office Spokesperson Mohammad Faisal on Thursday clarified that Asia Bibi, who was acquitted by the Pakistan Supreme Court in a blasphemy case last month, is still in Pakistan.
"There is no truth in reports of her leaving the country - it is fake news," Faisal told Dawn News TV.
Bibi was released from a women's prison in Multan late on Wednesday after the completion of all formalities by the jail administration, Geo News reported.
Also Read: Pakistan police stop scribes from questioning Sharif
However, speculations emerged that Bibi had left the country soon after she was released from prison.
On October 31, mass protests had erupted in various parts of Pakistan after the country's top court acquitted Asia of blasphemy charges.
A three-judge special bench headed by Justice Nisar, Justice Asif Saeed Khosa and Justice Mazhar Alam Khan Miankhel had heard Asiya's 2014 appeal against her conviction and death sentence and overturned the ruling in favour of her.
Asia was convicted and sentenced to death in 2010 for allegedly insulting Islam during an argument with three Muslim women. (ANI)

Perfect spot to impress a date or a business client. Now, for what to wear, head to our store in the Galleria.

Try the Sesame Crusted Tuna from the bar menu...delish! The jalapeno y bacon mac and cheese goes without saying!!
by Greg F.
The bartender has asked all male businessmen their names, shook hands with them, offered them menus. Sitting right next to them. Not offered water, menu or another drink.
by Kim M.
I cannot recommend the tomato mozzarella salad enough! Also, if you are picking between the sides, go for the overlooked green beans. Fantastic.
by Nicole B.
If you're on a budget ordering from the bar menu is a great alternative. The Calamari and Kobe Dog are both excellent and generously portioned.
by Rachel M.
Calamari for appatizers wont dissapoint. Get u some BBQ nachos at the bar. I know sounds weird but trust me, their bomb
by Henry C.
If you're a steak lover, you'll love this place. I had the prime rib & lobster. Yummy chowder and desserts. Great service and wine list. Avoid the blackened red snapper - way 2 bland.

Excellent Porterhouse!!! With Mac & Cheese recommendation of Thao.
by Juan Carlos B.
The business lunch is an amazing deal at $30 for 3 courses.

Not on the menu but have to trey this hidden gem VeeV Acai Spirit. It's a great vodka. Try it on the rocks on with water and lemon.
by Rusty S.
Ask Sous Chef Jeff Taylor for the Block Island Swordfish... pan seared & served with a blueberry and walnut pesto, roasted Portobello mushrooms, goat cheese, and fingerling potatoes.
by Almost V.
Try the fried calamari for twist on this appetizer staple. It's crafted like sweet and sour chicken. Don't let the exotic cars parked out front intimidate you, prices are reasonable (esp. Lunch).
