Amid the rare icy beauty of the Svalbard archipelago exists an extraordinary species of plant that has evolved its own internal central heating system to survive the long Arctic winters.
With it's cushion-like shape, the compass plant (Silene actualise) soaks up as much of the circling sun as it can, most of which lands on its south facing side. This causes its diminutive pink flowers to bloom over the course of a month, beginning at first on its south side, then moving to its north side.
According to the BBC's Christina Holvey, this unusual patterning caught the eye of ancient explorers who used the plant like a compass to find their way, hence its name.
Read more and watch the incredible compass plant in bloom on the BBC Earth website.

Auto Insurance - Choosing the Best Auto Insurance
Not only is it the law, having auto insurance is a much needed safety net in the event of an accident. However this doesn't always provide adequate protection, if you were to choose an insurance company that is unreliable. Maybe they take forever to process your claim, or don't even recognize your claim at all. Believe it or not this happens to shocked policy holders every day.
One of the most important factors when choosing an auto insurance company is to ensure that they are a 100 percent reliable company. The most reliable source for insurance will have a reputation for paying the right claim amounts and doing it as quickly as possible. To easily do this you can log onto the site of your state's department of insurance. This will contain complains of consumers who had filed claims in the past year.
A site that is exceptional in grade rating for customers is the J.D. Power and Associates website. This company accurately collects data from policyholders all over America. They ask the policy holders to grade rate they insurance company in the means of claims, handling, price, satisfaction with the representatives, coverage options, and the overall performance of the insurance company.
These grades are very helpful with it comes to consumers. You can expect to get the same service and claim filing times as the customers who rated the company. However this isn't a guarantee. This also doesn't mean that once your company gets a bad rating that you are going to be gambling. All companies get complaints every once in a while, no one can please everyone. The wisest thing to do is to go with the company with the least amount of complaints, and highest rankings.
You will also need to be familiar with the financial strength of your insurance company of choice. There are companies that publish their financial strength rating at every insurance company in America. An insurance company's financial strength will determine if it has the ability to settle or pay for claims. The higher the company's financial rating, the better the choice.
When choosing an auto insurance policy the price of the premium they are offering to you is of main importance, second to reliability of course. Make sure you fully understand the terms and exclusions fully before signing any paperwork. Remember you are the customer, and the company is trying to get your business. They are in the business of making you as happy as possible.
Also check the number of body shops that are recommended by the insurance company. Take into consideration the distance from your residence to this company. This may seem irrelevant but when you are broke down and need your car to be repaired as soon as possible, distance could be a problem.
You should also check to make sure these body shops have the right equipment and knowledge to repair you vehicle.
Word of mouth is a great source for selecting an auto insurance company. Ask friends, relatives, and co workers if they can recommend any great insurance companies, or tell you about any bad experiences with any insurance companies.

"Good News For Weary Women" by Elyse M. Fitzpatrick is about freeing Christian women from the extra rules we and society add to us that are not in the scripture. The following is an excerpt from the book just to give you a taste of what its about "I have a daughter, two daughters-in-law,and two granddaughters, and if there is anything I want them to know, it is this: There is good news for you. You don't need to learn secret steps, try harder and harder, wear yourself out in an attempt to be beautiful, snag Mr. Perfect, or raise perfect children. You are already welcomed, loved, forgiven, and completely okay. You can laugh and rest and resist all the ways the world lies to you and tells you you're not good enough. And you can love God because He has already loved you. You can be free to fail, to rest, to love, to be weak, to grow, and to know that everything is already given to you in Him." Most of these type of books say what we are not supposed add rules that above and beyond scripture then they add rules but this author did not do that.
I was very impressed by this book when I requested it I did realize how much I needed it. The author really helps to remind us women and even men that just cause one thing is good for us we don't need to make it legalistic type of thing. Also how we have a tendency to add things we see or hear that are not in scripture to our life/beliefs such as karma. She does not mixes words and even breaks down sacred cows of Christian society and women. For example like all Christian women have to have a perfectly clean and organized house (come to my home you will not see perfectly clean or organized home its not that I don't try but I work partime, homeschool, and I am a bit of a slob). This book was a perfect book for me at this time in my life as I was starting to fall into the trap of trying to be like other Christian women I know but I know I need to be the woman God made me which is a unique person. I highly recommend this book for any woman especially women book studies.
I was given this book to review by Tyndale Publishers and was not required to give a positive review.

Last week I watched Shakespeare's King Lear and yesterday (23.04.2014) The Tempest, and I began to see Prospero in relation to Lear. Both are leaders: one gives away his political power to spend his life in retirement; the other, who secludes himself in study, is deposed. Both seek freedom from the responsibility of government but both wish to retain power. When they lose power, both are angry and resentful. Both are banished; one to barren wastes; the other to an island. Each has a daughter who embodies love – the essence of harmonious existence. Lear is too blind to see it.
Lear loses everything and dies, and it seemed to me as I watched The Tempest, is transported with Cordelia, to a magical island and is resurrected in Prospero, Cordelia in Miranda. Writers often become fascinated with themes and characters and try them out in different contexts. Take Jane Austen, for instance, you will find a Darcy-type, a Wickham-type, a Bingley-type, an Elizabeth-Jane (merged or separate), a Lydia-type in all her novels. She is trying to solve the problem of women's independence in a culture in which all they can aspire to is a secure marriage.
Shakespeare examines the problem of political power in many of his plays. In The Tempest and King Lear, he divests both Lear and Prospero of political power. Lear has to learn that love is not love when it is conflated with power. After he is reduced to "a poor forked animal" and goes mad, he learns to see. Unlike Lear, Prospero is given a chance. In his banishment, through his study of magic, he attains god-like power – a reaction to his former apathy with regard to power – and takes total control of an island, the elements and people.
He colonizes and enslaves Caliban, son of Sycorax, the "witch" who formerly ruled the island. He also enslaves the elements in the form of Ariel, whom he releases from imprisonment in a tree and thus gains power over him. His rule is totally authoritarian. Throughout the play his slaves cry for freedom. One wonders then whether, as Duke of Milan he had ruled instead of studying, what kind of ruler he would have been. Better than his brother? On the island he is a dictator.
With magic arts, learned from books, Prospero has gained the power to take revenge on his brother and the King of Naples who together conspired to depose him as Duke of Milan. He uses his magical powers to bring them to the island to punish them. But his sojourn on the island, has given him a different understanding of existence and he learns from his daughter, Miranda, and from Ariel, to be compassionate. Speaking of his treacherous brother who with the complicity of the King of Naples, robbed him of his Dukedom, he says:
And he gives up his magic – his power to control:
ÂÂ ... But this rough magic
Unlike Lear, he has been given a second chance and has learned. Lear is severely punished for his blindness; Prospero is forgiven for his and we assume that he returns to Milan to rule with compassion. Being a wiser man, it is possible that his people will be justified in loving him on his return.
He is now a man who sees human existence as transient and the pursuit of power as meaningless illusion, like a stage performance, a reflection of reality, not reality itself.
The creation of life on-stage in a theatrical performance imitates the creation of life off-stage. All human systems and institutions are creations for stabilising life on earth. They give us the illusion of being fixed in time and space so we are not aware that the human pageant is "insubstantial" i.e. a process not a fixed form. What we take as reality seems fixed but is not; we have our being in a process of continuous change. Reality, therefore, is in continuous movement (in Alvin Toffler terms, rising and falling like waves) – flowing out of one set of circumstances into the next as we evolve; in computer terms – as we continuously update the way we live.
Ironically, the fictional life created in Shakespeare's plays, in Jane Austen's novels, being fixed in time and place, attain that quality of permanence that we so vainly wish to establish in reality. Plays like King Lear and The Tempest are fixed in Shakespeare's words and present a reality frozen in time and place. Plays, novels and other art forms that reflect life are the closest we can get to stability in the human condition. Our rules, regulations, laws try to fix us in unchanging circumstances, but they give only an illusion of stability. We live in an expanding universe, on a planet that rotates on an axis and revolves around the sun but in our daily interactions, we are completely unaware that the earth is a spinning spaceship. Being in an aircraft and moving with it, we are unaware of its movement.
In the search for fixity in the human condition, we build communities and set up power structures to exert control over human volatility. But power itself is subject to human volatility and readily gives rise to the lust and greed that lead to the unending struggle for dominance.
Power at all levels leads to corruption in every walk of life. And corruption is the symptom of malfunction in the systems we create. But we treat the symptom without seeking its cause because we accept administrative systems unconditionally. Human nature, however, ruled both by instinct and reason, is ambivalent and human beings are fallible. Placed in positions of power and authority, they fall prey to lust and greed, to corruption. We may, depending on our integrity, punish those who abuse power but it does not occur to us to examine the systems that facilitate corruption; we more readily arraign the individual.
Love, always presented as an alternative to corrupting power, is also a form of control but being based on affection, is benign and leads to voluntary conformity. As such, love cannot compete with the violence that accompanies corruption. [That possibly explains why love is generally personified as women in Art.] Cordelia and Miranda, embodiments of love in King Lear and The Tempest, have no power. Cordelia is murdered; Miranda marries into power. Within power structures, love is replaced by lust and rape. And in the bureaucracies that serve power, functionaries become automatons, cold and inhuman in their treatment of the powerless who must apply to them for all kinds of permits that control their lives – IDs, passports, licences etc. And in administering such permits, functionaries find ways to abuse their power and authority. Corruption, facilitated in bureaucratic structuring, makes it impossible to predetermine human destiny.
So Jokers, looking for clear-cut definitions of existence, feel betrayed, become disillusioned and succumb to despair. For the majority, who live in fearful compliance with the dictates of power, the solution is God who provides the only stability possible – in life after death. When we lived in our conception of a geocentric universe, the ruler– pharaoh, king – was seen as God on earth and the killing of a king, as in the play, Macbeth, was sacrilege. It led to chaos, disorder, loss of control. But pharaohs and kings lived in pomp and circumstance and the stability they created denied human dignity to the majority. In the modern world, rulers invested with power by the electorate, become demigods. They see themselves as entitled, become corrupt and self-serving. While legislating to curb human volatility in the electorate, they , in themselves, become embodiments of inconsistency as they turn their guardianship to exploitation and pillage. Their understanding of equality and fraternity is an election promise, as insubstantial as democracy.
We invented gods and governments as Guardians of stability, but our desire 'to stop the world' is a futile quest. We are like psychiatrists trying to impose 'normality' on 'abnormality'. But what is normal? The elimination of the instinctual self? We are creatures of instinct as well as reason; as inclined to destroy as to create. Under the veneer of civilization, we are feral beings and the duality of our natures makes human existence paradoxical – the opposition in our natures gives rise to creativity as well as corruption.ÂÂ
When Adam and Eve decided to take control of their destinies, they lost their innocence. And what is innocence?ÂÂ Simply total conformity. So what they lost was a trivial life of complete stability. When they left the garden, they became creative beings. And creativity, like childbirth, combines pain with delivery.
After we watch plays like King Lear and The Tempest, we are left to evaluate the efficacy of the ways in which we try to bring together the contradictions in our natures; to wonder whether the striving for stability, which is a denial of human complexity, should form the basis of structured human existence.

I have some taint of the Trumpian arrogance in me so that it is hard to say, "I made a mistake." Yes, my "memory bank" failed me in yesterday's post and the "relevant" poetry blurb at the very end was not the one I had in mind, a problem which I have now corrected. I'm making this "confession" though facetiously just so any of you who are interested can return to yesterday's post and sample a bit of the wisdom of Stanley Kunitz. However, admitting being mistaken is a very human flaw and I'm in recovery now from having been mired in that morass of self-loathing and infantile arrogance most of my life. Richard Nixon when he resigned in 1973 did not really admit doing any wrong, declaring famously at one point in the debacle, "I'm not a crook." But when the impeachment proceeding reached a certain point of intensity, he did resign and with great humiliation walked to that waiting helicopter with his wife and continued his flight into political ignominy. He was in great pain, greatly shamed and humiliated by what his words and behavior had led to, but under the pressure of the political structure that he was part of and respected to some degree, he accepted disgrace and meekly resigned, a tacit admission of wrong-doing. Nixon had some inner sense of self-control that allowed him to not resort to the violent impulse that would explode in many people when they are shamed like he was.
There is something to say for a religious culture in which "confessing sins" is part of life. Even though this "sin" matter goes deeply beneath the surface…and from time to time circumstances lead us to exploring the matter more intently, discovering that the real sin lies in the "thoughts and intents of the heart—it is helpful to have the surface level of the issue commonplace enough that we can readily admit shortcomings. But occasionally people appear in our culture who have steeled their heart about even a cursory acknowledgement of sin or fault and they will brazenly refuse to admit wrong on even the most trivial matter. And if one of these people happen to stumble into a position of power, they can wreak havoc on all who are within their sphere of influence.
Here is a list of my blogs. I invite you to check out the other two sometime.

- Page 1 Motorola SLVR RED Review
- Page 2 Motorola SLVR RED Review
- Page 3 Motorola SLVR RED Review
As you'd expect from these dimensions, the SLVR L7 Red is light. At just 96g I can't remember having seen a lighter phone (there is the Samsung SGH-P300 – ed.), with the exception of the non RED incarnation of the SLVR – for the record that handset is black.
The casing is metal, and of course, the SLVR L7 Red is coloured red. And I mean shiny, blood red. On the front of the casing the colour is limited to a frame all around the edge, but on the back the only non-red areas are a couple of logos and the small section of the top of the casing occupied by the lens of the built in camera. The handset's wallpaper and a screen saver are appropriately themed, but you can change them both if you like.
The SLVR L7 Red has that familiar flat keyboard that is also used in the RAZR and PEBL. You are going to either like or loathe it. The keys are identified by raised numbering and separated by horizontal raised strips. You may find fast texting difficult, but number dialling shouldn't be a problem.
I rather like the rounded silver navigation button, though it is a little small and stubby thumbs might find it a problem.
The camera is decidedly average. It captures stills at three resolutions – 640 x 480, 320 x 240 and 160 x 120. Yes, that's right. It tops out at VGA. There is no flash, and no self portrait mirror.
Picture quality is reasonable but not outstanding. Shooting stills on a sunny day with the capture mode set to 'sunny' I still found bright colours over exposed and colours in general a little washed out. To help overcome this you can twiddle with the exposure settings using the navigation pad. This also provides quick access to the 4x digital zoom.

Nothing this president does should surprise any thinking individual. A racist, a sexist, a xenophobe, Donald Trump views everything he does through bile-colored lenses. His impact on all parts of our government will be felt for generations to come, especially when it comes to our justice department.
Now, he has nominated 42 people to be US attorneys. Only one is a woman. US attorneys are pivotal figures in making sure that federal law is carried out, and it is a position that leads to other opportunities in the future.
Leaving women out of that process can only mean that women's issues will not be part of the agenda during a Trump administration.
From equal pay and sexual harassment to reproductive rights, we can expect that such issues will fall by the wayside. So much of the progress that has been made has been through our justice system. It has often provided cover when the legislative branch has failed to protect women. This is an abject failure on the part of Trump's administration.
According to BuzzFeed News:
Vance said that in not elevating women to these positions, the administration was starting a chain reaction that would keep women lawyers out of leadership posts in the future.
'US attorneys often become judges, partners in big law firms, even senators, and restricting women from advancing by excluding them from the US attorney positions is really a giant step backwards,' Vance said.
Voting has consequences. Lack of thinking has consequences. Together they become the opportunity for disaster. A vote for anyone other than Hillary Clinton in 2016 led us to this place.

Winter is not even here yet, but I know Red is already starting to feel the cold. This summer wasn't great (weatherwise), so it feels like she hasn't been without a sweater in months. In this article I'm going to talk about the ways to keep your senior dog warm and protected this winter.
10 hot tips
Warm clothing
Your dog may be feeling the cold more than she used to, so why not buy her a sweater, or nice warm coat to wear on your walks, or even indoors if you think she needs it. Try putting it in the dryer for a couple of minutes to warm it up before going out (if it is suitable for the dryer of course!).
If you'd like to try crocheting your own dog coat, I've included a video tutorial. Believe me, I don't have much of a clue when it comes to crocheting, but this is so easy, anyone can do it, and I do mean anyone.
Where your dog sleeps
Wherever your dog sleeps, make sure there's no draught, and she's nice and toasty.
Wrap her up!
I leave a blanket on every dog bed just in case Red gets cold. If she is, she wraps herself up in it. Consider leaving a blanket on your dog's bed.
Keep the bed warm
Doggie heating mats and electric blankets can be added to your dog's bed, or self heating mats if you don't like the idea of electric ones. Hot water bottles can work too!
Don't let your dog freeze outside
If your dog spends a lot of time in the yard, consider getting her a dog house, and insulate it with straw so she has a warm place to go. If she lives out there, the shelter should have an overhang so snow and rain do not get in, a sloped roof and heating. Better yet, let her join the family and live indoors.
Elevate the bed off a cold floor
Hardwood, concrete and tile floors can be quite cold in the winter, so if your dog's bed is on that type of flooring, try getting a couple of carpet squares, towels or blankets to put under her bed, so it is not in direct contact with the cold floor.
No shaving in the winter
You may like your dog shaved pretty close in the summer months, but consider leaving her hair longer in the winter for insulation.
Don't go outside if you're wet!!
If you bathe your dog at home, don't let her out until you are sure she is completely dry.
Paw protection
If there is snow and ice where you live, booties will protect your dog's paws from the cold and salt. If she won't wear them (like mine won't!!), paw wax will work too. At least for Red it did!!
That frozen lake may not really be frozen
Looks can be deceiving, and deadly! Don't go near frozen lakes or ponds, because they may not actually be frozen.
10 Hot Tips to Keep Your Senior Dog Warm and Protected This Winter – conclusion
Keeping your senior dog warm this winter, is just one of the many things we can do to make their lives as comfortable as possible.
If you live in a cold climate, what do you do to keep your dog nice and comfy? Why not share your tips in the comments below or on my Facebook page.

This week's UN General Assembly meetings brought renewed attention to the set of global goals that will replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) when they expire in 2015.
The latest draft of the new "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs) is a kitchen-sink-like receptacle for the interests of every possible development constituency. There are some obvious and glaring problems with this. To focus on the plus side, though, this enormous brain dump allows space for some intriguing new thinking about what the global community can and should agree upon.
As Michael Clemens has pointed out, migration was absent from the MDGs, but it has a place in the SDGs. In order to "reduce inequality within and among countries" (goal 10), the SDGs propose that we "facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies" and "by 2030, reduce to less than 3% the transaction costs of migrant remittances."
Whether or not this language makes it into the final version of the goals, it reflects a tacit acknowledgment that for many poor people, migration is the best investment they can make, and that the goal-setting community would do well to help people maximize the return on that.
We sought to illustrate this idea in the above video (the second in our Lego series).
When compared with other options for how to spend scarce savings and resources (on education, housing or health care, for example) migration brings, by far, the highest return on that investment. Rather than asking, "How can we increase the amount of remittances devoted to investment?" as is common in the current research agenda, we may gain more from understanding that remittances themselves are already the return on a very rational investment, and instead ask, "What can we do to increase the return on investment available from migration?"

knit maxi dress
ALL SUMMER all i wanted was a nice easy maxi dress. mcalls 6559 to be specific. it's just a simple tank dress, but i was forever set back by poor online fabric choices. the fabrics were fine, just to be clear, but i would order one and inevitably it was not right for this project... too thin, too stretchy or just not the right print for a garment that covers 90% of me.
then finally on a complete whim i ordered this giant granny floral from girlcharlee.com. i heart them lots. seriously awesome and affordable fabrics over there. it was my last shot at finding the right fabric for the maxi i just needed to have.
fortunately the print was perfect! but again the fabric with the cream background was a bit thin and see through, so this time i decided to add a partial lining and call it a day. evidently finding solid cream colored lightweight knit is hard. and expensive. my shell fabric was $5/yd. my lining, $13/yd. grrrr..... whatevs.
i realize this is summer's end so most likely anyone who was going to make a knit maxi dress has already in fact done that. however, i also think this is a good transitional dress. i can easily layer it up with a jacket or add a sweater and belt.
so here's the nitty gritty...
this pattern has two lengths, so i cut the lining to the shorter length, sewed the shell and lining separately then layered them and attached the bindings. i cut the binding from the lining material so i would have a solid colored binding. the lining is slightly darker than the shell fabric, but close enough that i wasn't gonna sweat it.
i happened to notice the pattern layout for this and it instructs you to cut this on the cross grain. as in, having the stretch go up and down instead of side to side. whaaaaat? after a few minutes of that doesn't really make sense... i went with my gut and cut it on grain. lo and behold it worked out. i graded from a 6 up top out to a 12 at the hip and down and i am very happy with the fit. the neckline is a bit low and if i'm being picky i have a little bunching at my lower back. not sure there's really anything i could do about that, although i discovered a nifty swayback adjustment for this type of cut over on pattern-scissors-cloth (this is a long post on the topic, make sure you read all the way to the end!). i'll probably try that out next time.
as always, i have to deviate from the directions somewhere and surprise surprise, i went my own way on the bindings. the pattern has you just turn the seam allowance twice and top stitch. not gonna happen. i cut off the seam allowances, cut strips of binding and serged them (on my widest setting, about 3/8") to the outside. then using the serged edge as a guide, simply turned the binding to the inside and topstitched it with my twin needle from the outside. worked like a charm! i may do a little write up on how to do this at some point, there is a knit wrap dress in my future i plan to revisit this technique on...
i love how this dress turned out. i'm pretty leery of any dress without a defined waist, but you just can't beat the ease and versatility of this look. you could easily knock this pattern out in an afternoon, or even use it to make a basic tank top—racer back or not (it has both options). heck, you can even put a giant star on your hip. i chose to do the racer back and solid colored bindings to contrast against the giant floral print. i feel like this combo is a little less expected. i've worn it several times and will definitely revisit this pattern. it even has a little tie cardigan pattern that i might make sometime. all in all this is a great little pattern to have in your stash!

I started on a shorter version of that dress and was having the same issues with bunching in the back, so I put it on hold til I decide what to do about it. Although mine looked worse, either sway back or I blame my butt. Yours turned out cute!ReplyDelete
I LOVE this! I looked at that fabric too, but wasn't sure how it would translate into a garment. Looks amazing! Also, I wish I'd known about this pattern before I spent $$ on the Mission Maxi pattern! I really love that it has a non-racerback version. And I agree - this will be a good transitional piece. Awesome!ReplyDeleteReplies
so... i shouldn't mention that i picked up this pattern for $1 at joanns? ordering that fabric was a bit of a gamble, but the large scale print worked out perfectly! thanks!Delete
I figured as much - that's the only time I buy Big 4 patterns, for sure!Delete
I made a largish order from Girl Charlee's Labor Day sale last night. I love that shop!
i appreciate all the feedback, but will no longer be responding to comments left here. i have moved all my content to wordpress (see link at the top of the page!) and will now be posting there. all my posts can be found in my wordpress archive. thanks for reading and please visit my new page!

Family Law Attorneys and Professional Family Law Mediators| NJ
divorce: Uncontested vs. Contested
An "uncontested" divorce in New Jersey is one where both parties are able to agree to sign a Marital Settlement Agreement prior to the divorce complaint's first hearing. Whether your divorce is "uncontested" or "contested" largely determines the amount of time and money it will take to reach a final divorce. If you and your spouse are able to come to agreement on all outstanding issues, such as dividing property, spousal support and child support, you may be able to finalize your Divorce in one (1) simple hearing, as opposed to lengthy, and costly, trial. The attorneys/mediators of Hammerman Rosen focus on providing divorcing couples with a personally tailored settlement plan, in an effort to achieve an uncontested divorce, avoid long, saving New Jersey couples thousands on their legal fees and their time.
The attorneys of Hammerman Rosen LLP are confident that we can provide competent and aggressive representation in any phase of a New Jersey divorce. Our mission is to advance our clients' interests and conserve their resources. We have drafted many Marital Settlement Agreements, and helped facilitate quick and easy resolution to complicated and emotional family issues.
Prior to Divorce: Once a Complaint has been filed
Whether "uncontested" or "contested", every New Jersey Divorce must go through the complaint process using the Court system's FM docket in Superior Court: Chancery Division: Family Part.
If you or your spouse has already filed a complaint for divorce, you almost certainly should talk to a family law attorney, as you will want to make the most of your limited opportunities to be heard on issues ranging from equitable distribution, child support, alimony, child custody to grandparent parental visitation and the children's religious upbringing.
At Hammerman Rosen LLP, when a settlement is truly not possible, we work with our client's to achieve their best possible outcome.
Settlement is Always Possible At Any Stage of the New JErsey divorce Process
Even if you are currently at odds with your spouse, the right approach and skilled negotiation can resolve most issues. Family courts are overburdened and push parties toward settlement.
Enforcing an Existing Marital Settlement Agreement and Other Post-Judgment Relief
If you are not receiving visitation, support, or are in anyway not receiving what you are owed under an existing FM Order or Marital Settlement Agreement, Hammerman Rosen LLP can assist you in filing the necessary enforcement action.
Similarly, if your circumstances have significantly changed or if your ex-spouse has begun any post-judgment modification action against you, the attorneys at Hammerman Rosen LLP are ready to assist you as necessary in the following areas of family law:
Divorce - Separation - Child Custody - Child Support - Property Division - Alimony - Spousal Support - Mediation & Arbitration - Domestic Violence and Restraining Orders

My Facebook feed is abuzz with talk amongst my friends and family back home in Kansas about HB 2453, a bill approved yesterday by the Kansas House of Representatives that encourages discrimination based on sexual orientation for ostensibly religious reasons. I'll try to refrain from giving my opinion here, though anyone who knows me probably has an idea what it is.
I'd rather focus for a moment on my hometown of Lawrence, Kansas, which I typically describe to people here in Brooklyn as an outpost for creative, progressive thought in the largely desolate wasteland that is the rest of Kansas. Predictably, most of my friends and family are none too happy with this bill. My sixteen-year-old sister gave a fair distillation:
So embarrassed to live in Kansas, right now. Ideally, I'd like to live somewhere where everyone is treated equally. Right now, that's only in my dreams.
My cousin Andrea, though, pointed out that Lawrence actually has a municipal ordinance in place to prevent this type of discrimination (boldface is in the document itself):
The practice or policy of discrimination against persons by reason of race sex, religion, color, national origin, age, ancestry, familial status, sexual orientation, or disability is a matter of concern to the City of Lawrence,since such discrimination not only threatens the rights and privileges of the inhabitants of the city, but also menaces the institutions and foundations of a free democratic state. It is hereby declared to be the policy of the City of Lawrence, in exercise of its police power for the protection of the public safety, public health and general welfare, for the maintenance of business and good government, and for the promotion of the City's trade and commerce, to eliminate and prevent discrimination, segregation, or separation because of race, sex, religion, color, national origin, age, ancestry, familial status, sexual orientation, or disability.
While discussing with my cousin Skyler on Andrea's thread, I realized this new state law, its fundamental stupidity aside, could result in a legal "triple jeopardy" (for lack of a better description) scenario. In essence we have a local ordinance that contradicts state law, and that same state law contradicts more than 50 years of federal court precedent based on the Anti-Discrimination Act of 1975 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. So, say a merchant in Lawrence decides to refuse service to a customer, or a government employer decides to fire an employee, based on sexual orientation. That person or organization, subject to a municipal ordinance that would clearly find that person in violation, could appeal to the State of Kansas, which now has a law that clearly states the person or organization is within their rights and could invalidate the violation. Of course, the violated party could then kick it up to federal law, which clearly supports the original local ordinance. I know, that's a long process to come back to where we started. All because the state of Kansas wants to be, as Governor Sam Brownback says, a model for "red-state governance."

Review by Dmitry Poldnikov (Moscow)
International conference: "Law and Communication" (St. Petersburg, 11-12 December 2014)
The international conference "Law and Communication" was organized at St. Petersburg State University, Faculty of Law, to honour the 60th anniversary of professor Andrey Polyakov, the leading protagonist of the "law-as-communication" legal theory in Russia. This occasion attracted over 70 reporters (theoreticians of law, philosophers, practitioners) who collaborate with professor Polyakov and share his approach to study law.
Russian scholars came not only from St. Petersburg and Moscow, but also from Kaliningrad, Krasnoyarsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Saratov, Tambov, Tomsk, Volgograd, Vladivostok. Foreign colleagues represented Belarus, Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Ukraine, and USA.
Russian key-note presentations were made by Mikhail Antonov (St. Petersburg), Ilya Chestnov (St. Petersburg), Valentina Lapayeva (Moscow), Valery Lasarev (Moscow), Jenevra Lukovskaya (St. Petersburg), Leonid Mamut (Moscow), Vladimir Syrykh (Moscow), Elena Timoshina (St. Petersburg).
Among the renowned foreign participants were Wilfried Bergmann (Petersburger Dialog e.V.), Edoardo Fittipaldi (Milan), Werner Krawietz (Münster), Norbert Rouland (Aix-Marseille), William Simons (Leiden, Trento, Tartu), Mark Van Hoecke (Gent), Csaba Varga (Budapest).
Despite a variety of topics, most participants of the conference found their crossing points in the subject-centred perspective and the plurality of approaches to study the complex phenomenon of law in the period of post-modernity. The main ideas of the key-note presentations have been already developed and published in the two-volume "Festschrift" for professor Andrey Polyakov (Alef-Press, 2014, in Russian).
The main reason for a legal historian to participate at the conference (and to write a review thereof) is to foster the dialogue between legal history and legal theory in the methodological field. One of the major claims of Andrey Polyakov (and the St. Petersburg school of legal theoreticians, which goes back to Leon Petrazycki) is that law, in all its complexity, is basically a way of communication between human beings. This communication is based on the psychological interpretation of legal texts which leads to social interaction through claims, duties and liabilities. One can find similar perspective on law in Van Hoecke's «Law as Communication» (2002) published almost simultaneously with Polyakov's habilitation thesis (2001). Both professors underline the importance of communication or interaction between the subjects to create, develop and legitimate the law. This ontological perspective on law justifies the need for "multi-level approach" (Krawietz) to study and to uncover the "unsolvable enigma of law" (Chestnov).
Legal historians could also benefit from these methodological tenets, especially when dealing with the medieval disputes among creators and practitioners of the learned law (ius commune). Yet, legal theoreticians still underestimate the importance of this heritage. Apparently due to insufficient knowledge of history. For example, in Russian translation (2012) of Van Hoecke's "Law as Communication" (2002) medieval learned law was called "primarily a matter of power" (instead of "authority", as in the English original). Although Van Hoecke's own claim that "Legal science was also a matter of authority, not of rational consensus" (p.6) is also debatable. Most researchers of the medieval learned law would agree that it was based on both authority and reason (ratio), as Renoux-Zagamé put it.
Hopefully, the "law-as-communication" theory would encourage interdisciplinary communication to justify circulation of a saying: «historicus iuris sine philosopho iuris parum valet, philosophus iuris sine historico iuris nihil».

Hibernation until February
I don't know about the rest of the blogging world, but after Christmas, I'm just plain tired and need a rest...more like a short hibernation. I have no desire to do ANYTHING except sit and veg out.
But, I need to look forward into the next season, which is Spring and begin to prepare to make soaps for this time. Being a soapmaker who makes cold process soaps, Spring comes up wayyy too fast if I want to get some Spring time soaps ready. You see, cold process soaps have to go through a curing period of 4-6 weeks before they are ready...4 weeks being the bare minimum in my opinion. So, if today is February 15th, (which it is), then I am way too late in deciding what kind of Valentine Day cold process soaps I should make...it's already too late! However, this is the perfect time to start doing Spring soaps.
Back to Valentine's Day though, I did manage to make some soaps for it that are cold process; Chocolate Ecstasy, Cinnamon Oatmeal and Sweet Lavender. All the rest of my soaps will be melt and pour types.
Oh and by the way, if you are seeing this post and want to check some of those soaps out, visit my shop at SoapyBlessings.etsy.com

VOTD: The Academy Digs Up 'Revenge of the Jedi' Teaser from 1982
Posted on Thursday, May 26th, 2016 by Ethan Anderton
No, that's not a typo. Any Star Wars fan can tell you that the original title for the final installment of the original trilogy was Revenge of the Jedi. Franchise creator George Lucas eventually changed the title to Return of the Jedi before release because he had determined that getting revenge was not something a Jedi would seek out.
However, the Star Wars sequel was teased so far out in advance of the release that some marketing materials still had the title Revenge of the Jedi. The teaser poster featuring that title is worth a pretty penny, but there was also a teaser trailer that had the abandoned title still intact, and The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has dusted it off and posted it online.
Watch the Revenge of the Jedi teaser trailer after the jump. Read More »

'Patience, patience, patience' — or how to stay happily married for 60 years
Annick Pascal, a teacher and the daughter of a general, met the young air force pilot who would become her husband on her 21st birthday.
On her 84th birthday, she'll celebrate 60 years of marriage to André Pascal, who declares she's every bit as lovely as that first time they met.
The Pascals will be one of about 135 couples who have married between five and an amazing 70 years who will be renewing their wedding vows Sunday during a special mass at Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica, presided over by Archbishop Terrence Prendergast.
We sat down with the Pascals to hear how they met and what keeps them wanting to celebrate after a relationship spanning more than six decades, four countries, two children and five grandchildren.
How did you meet?
Annick: It started in 1953. We were both in (Allied-occupied) Germany. Andre was a pilot with the French air force. I was working at the French lycée. … I was going to celebrate my 21st birthday. My friends arranged a little party for me and invited Andre and his friends from the air force base.
André: I came with my girlfriend at the time, who was a German lady, very nice actually. We used to play tennis together. I can still remember, very, very definitely — (Annick) was bubbling around as she usually does. That was it. I said I need to know this young lady more.
How did he propose?
Andre: It was in Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois, a church in Paris right across from the Louvre, where we were both attending mass. I asked her, 'Will you marry me?' I will let her tell you what she answered.
André: "What's wrong with you?" I was crying because I thought he was going to go by himself to Canada. He didn't even give a hint of taking me along. When he said that, I was so surprised. It didn't take me long (to say yes) but I was not ready for it.
What was your wedding like?
They were 24 and 26. It was in Montreal on a cold day just after Christmas of 1957. They had just arrived in Canada and their friends — all four of them — were on hand as they were married by the secretary of Cardinal Paul-Emile Léger. Dark-haired Annick wore a dress made by her mother back in France but neither family could make the trans-Atlantic trip to see her marry André, who worked for airlines and later what's now Global Affairs Canada.
Why do you want to celebrate this milestone on Sunday?
André: Because we are still together. We went through some very, very difficult times. Like everybody will tell you when you're married, for better and for worse. We had a lot of worse but we have a lot of better, too. And we discovered we were actually made one for the other. It has taken quite a lot of patience, I must admit. We have developed a very deep partnership. We rely on each other all the time. We share almost everything.
Annick, laughing: I think everything unless you keep something inside I don't know about.
What's the secret to a long and happy marriage?
Annick: Be patient, be understanding. Don't judge the first reaction. Sometimes we react angrily, we say words that we are going to regret later on. Don't jump to each other. And by any chance it happens, reconcile quickly. Don't let it steam up on the back burner.
André: You never had to do that, chéri?
Annick: Uh huh, I did.
Any other advice?
André: Patience, patience, patience and co-operation. And just love each other. We do.
Annick: Of course love is the cement. Otherwise, it doesn't work.
André: When you look at your spouse and say, 'There she is.' You look at her and think 'She has accepted me, she has absolutely survived me, she is a saint.'
Annick: (laughing) I think the halo doesn't fit anymore, my head is too swollen!

Forty years into this life and I was miserable! I hated where I was in life. I had dedicated all my time and efforts to raising my daughters as a single mother, completely forgetting about myself. I was in a dead end job with no benefits and no future. Hadn't met anyone in the dating world I felt a connection with either. I felt like I was slowly being suffocated.
My biggest fear was waking up in my 70's and thinking …is this it?
I would wake up everyday, 10 minutes before my alarm would go off with the worst anxiety attacks imaginable.
Do you know what went through my head every single morning?
I'm a 45 years old woman and mother who has not done a single thing she loved. Not one dream fulfilled..nothing!
I had to make a change soon, and it had to start with how I saw myself in the future.
These are the steps I took to reinventing myself:
Changed my mindset
One of the most important steps I took to change my life was to change the way I think. "The way you envision your life, is how your life will be." I was just seeing the mess I was in at the moment which clouded the endless possibilities that could be my future. I started thinking more positively, I started saying to myself I can do this. I made a mental list of everything I was thankful for and everything I wanted in my life and I would say it out loud.
Make a list
I'm not a list maker, never have been. But during the process to change my life, I saw the importance of making a list. I made a list of everything that was important to me. I made a list of what I wanted out of my life. I made a list of all the different careers I was interested in. I made a list of all the traits I needed in my perfect partner too. The importance of making these list is to be able to go over them and read them out loud and envision these things in your present life. Don't be afraid to cross out or add things to the list.
"Life is about growing and changing, so many of the things we might think are important now can simply become unimportant once we grow." ~Victoria Alicea
Change your surroundings
If you stay in the same place and don't make an effort to get out of your comfort zone then that's where you will stay. I made an effort to go to events that would force me meet new people and learn new things. By doing this I realized that there are so many options in life and wonderful people who can help push you in the right direction.
Find your new tribe
" Your friends can either lead you to your destruction or your success."
For some of us breaking ties with friends is a hard thing to do, but you have to think to yourself, are these people really my friends? Do these so called friends enrich my life in someway?
In this day an age it's hard to distinguish the true meaning of friendship. My Facebook says I have 400 friends…do I really? Of course not! During my journey towards change, I decided to surround myself with those who had the same mind set as I did. I walked away from people who did not believe in me or always found a way to discourage me of my dreams. It wasn't easy to let go of some of these people but living without the negativity was the way to go.
Just do it
Taking the leap is one of the hardest things to do, trust me I know. When I was first offered the opportunity to blog I was terrified of failure. I had no idea how to write a blog and what would I possibly write about? I kept at it, learning from my mistakes and finding my voice. From there so many other doors opened in the direction of all of the dreams I had written on my list. That's when I knew I was on the journey I was meant to be on. That the changes and challenges were all part of the process of growing into a new me.
I would've of never imagined in a million years that I was capable of doing so many things in this stage in my life. I never felt so alive and hopeful for my future. It's never to late to reinvent yourself and do what you love even in your forties.
XOXO Victoria

Hi stamping friends 🙂 Today I'm sharing a card I made with some new supplies from Crafter's Companion. You'll be seeing a lot of these little mice, I find them totally adorable (and so much fun to color)!
This set is called Makey Bakey Mice – Thanks Petal. This little cutie was stamped on Spectrum Aqua Watercolour Cardstock, then colored with Spectrum Aqua Markers in Tan, Chocolate, Charcoal, Terracotta, Peach, Spice, Scarlet & Moss. Once I was finished coloring him, I added a background using the Sheena Decorative Stencil called Distress Grid.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you find some time to get inky 🙂

Podcast: Active Shooter Planning - What To Do Before It's Too Late
As recent events sadly illustrate, active shooter planning in the workplace has never been more important. Whether it's caused by radical violent extremism, a disgruntled former employee or some other source, the results can be horrific, so employers need to be especially prepared.
On this podcast, former Secret Service agent and current workplace violence prevention thought leader Matt Doherty discusses a host of practical tips to stay vigilant. Doherty is a senior vice president with Hillard Heintze, a leading security risk management company.
Active Shooter Planning - What To Do Before It's Too Late
June 16, 2016
"The future state of HR has to deal with this issue," says Doherty. The good news, if there is any, is that very rarely do these situations arise out of nowhere. "Warning signs are there in almost every single instance," explains Doherty. "But you need open lines of communication, whether reporting anonymously, to HR, to the security director or a first-line supervisor." Doherty addresses what HR can do to deal with this issue, including several security fundamentals. It's advice you cannot afford to miss.

Pavel Tchelitchew
was born to an aristocratic family of landowners just outside of Moscow, in 1898. Educated by private tutors, Tchelitchew expressed an early interest in ballet and art.
Tchelitchew's family lost its expansive estate when the property was seized during the Bolshevik Revolution. They settled in Kiev in 1918 where Tchelitchew began receiving formal art training. Tchelitchew's early artworks and career path were greatly influenced by the private lessons and encouragement he received from Alexandra Exter, a pupil of Léger and director of the School for Painters and Stage Designers, and Isaac Rabinovitch, a Cubist-Constructionist artist who became one of the most famous theater designers in Soviet Russia.
Pursuing a career as a designer, Tchelitchew left Kiev in late 1920 for Odessa where he designed several minor music hall productions. A year later he arrived in Berlin where he executed a series of commissions for stage design and costumes for theater, operas, ballets, and cabaret musicals. Impressed with his work, Russian ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev asked him come to Paris in 1923 to execute a commission. Tchelitchew would later design costumes and sets for several important ballet productions in New York City, including George Balanchine's Errante and Orpheus.
Upon his arrival in Paris, Tchelitchew began to concentrate on painting. Moving away from the abstract influences he received in Kiev, Tchelitchew began painting more representational work especially landscapes and portraits of people from his rapidly expanding circle of influential friends. These included Glenway Wescott, Alice B. Toklas, Lincoln Kirstein, George Platt Lynes, and Gertrude Stein. Tchelitchew immigrated to the United States in 1934 where he continued to evolve as a painter experimenting with perspective distortion, multiple images, metamorphic forms, and automatism (a technique of creating artworks from one's subconscious without thought or direction). Many of his ideas came to fruition in 1942 in his major work titled Hide and Seek. The large painting, full of hidden images and the integration of human and vegetable forms, became one of the most famous and popular works at the Museum of Modern Art in New York through the 1970s. Tchelitchew died in Rome in 1957 with his long time partner, Mississippi poet Charles Henri Ford, by his bedside.

Parents have been advised by a Melton school to ensure their children walk home in pairs after two suspicious men approached a girl in the town.
The warning was issued by John Ferneley College after a pupil encountered the duo in the country park.
Head teacher Christine Stansfield said: "We are concerned about this and we are taking it very seriously.
"It is rare that this happens but it only needs to happen once for us to make sure people are aware.
"We have sent the message out to all our communities through social media and we want pupils to be vigilant."
A messaged posted online by the school following the incident, on May 25, reads: "Please be aware that two men approached one of our students whilst she was walking home from school in the country park yesterday.
"The police are aware. Please encourage your children to walk home in pairs if possible and report any problems as soon as possible."
