By Max Pikras, For The Miami Student
Halloween in a college town can be an exciting time for students and local residents to celebrate the festivities — just not necessarily together.
Sara Pate, a local mother of three, said residents of Oxford tend to trick or treat away from Miami's campus during Oxford's designated trick-or-treating hours. However, they will participate in Halloween-themed events in Uptown Oxford and on Miami's campus.
"The Uptown events and the actual trick-or-treating are pretty separate," Pate said. "Parents and children come to Uptown for the Halloween events, and then tend to stay in their own subdivisions for trick-or-treating."
Pate said there are many events Uptown and on campus during Halloween, including the Oxford Parks and Recreation (OPRD) Halloween Event, touring a haunted house in the Oxford Community Arts Center (OCAC) and trick-or-treating in Roudebush Hall and Armstrong Student Center.
The OPRD Halloween events included local businesses passing out candy to children, activities and games and a dog costume parade throughout Uptown. In addition to the haunted house tour, OCAC provided activities, music, pumpkin carving and performances from Miami organizations, including improvisation group Sketched Out.
Jason Shaiman, a local father, said even if parents do trick or treat through student neighborhoods and at party houses, they typically wait until their children are older.
"Many families may not want to expose toddlers and preschoolers to the raunchy, loud and littered environment of party houses," said Shaiman.
Pate agreed with Shaiman.
"I don't think parents would bring younger children to trick or treat through student housing areas," Pate said.
Shaiman pointed out that Halloween — and Oxford's Trick or Treat from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. — falls on a Saturday this year, which is usually
rowdy night Uptown.
"Since Halloween is on a Saturday this year, one of the biggest party nights of the week, many families may be further discouraged to trick or treat in densely-populated student neighborhoods," Shaiman said.
Shaiman reiterated that parents may not want to associate with student parties and social culture, and may choose to stick with the organized events Uptown and at Miami instead.
Senior Grace McKittrick said it is disappointing when students are unable or choose to not be a part of Halloween events in Oxford.
"I think it's sad that students don't care to participate in a community event, like trick-or-treating, or that parents don't let the students participate, because it slows the students' transition into becoming full members of the community of Oxford," she said.
Pate said she believes parents will still trick or treat through student neighborhoods, as long as the students are willing to participate.
"I believe the parents follow the porch light system," Pate said. "If the houses don't have a porch light on, many parents will just pass them."

At Newpark Clinic, we're dedicated to making our patients lives easier by giving thorough deep cleanings and advice on practical oral hygiene methods.
Hygiene Cleanings
A hygiene visit is a professional cleaning of your teeth. During the cleaning, our dental hygienist, Kieva, will clean plaque deposits and stains from the teeth by using special instruments to scale the teeth (removes plaque and tartar), polish the teeth (removes superficial staining). At the end of the visit, patients will have smooth, clean teeth and sometimes, can even have a whiter smile. Kieva will also give specialised advice and instructions, tailored to each individual to keep their oral health levels in check.
Hygienist cleanings are especially important throughout orthodontic treatment, as teeth require healthy gums for movement. Kieva is available before, during and after orthodontic treatment to clean teeth and she is also available to patients who do not have braces.
For more sensitive patients, we offer local anesthetic and anesthetic gels to help patients feel more comfortable throughout our cleanings.
Monday: 1:00pm – 7:00pm
Tuesday: 8:00am – 4:30pm
Wednesday: 1:00pm – 6:00pm
Thursday: 8:00am – 1:00pm

Lately, I've been really into stud earrings. So much so that I was running out of places to put them. You see, I have this earring holder that hangs on the wall and is perfect for dangly earrings. I started using the ledge for studs which worked fine. That is until my stud addiction got worse…
You can see how I made this earring holder HERE. And one similar HERE.
It is super functional for all of my dangly earrings and I still love it.
So here is how I made a stud earring holder.
I've had this picture frame for awhile just sitting around. It was brown and I wanted white. I gave it a quick coat of spray paint. It was at this point that I also thought. Hmmm… if I take out the glass and the back, how is this thing going to stand up. Not my brightest moment.
FYI: I think I'm probably the worse spray painter ever. Patience is key and I have none. I know all of the right ways to spray paint, I just don't follow them. You are supposed to go back and forth lifting up on the "trigger" each time. I'm more of a "hold the trigger down the entire time" kind of spray painter. The results aren't always good.
This was my solution to making it stand up. I cut a piece of dowel rod into two equal lengths. I then drilled a hole in the frame and stuck the dowel rods in. I'll be honest, they fit so snuggly that I didn't even hot glue.
Now you've got a nice little free standing frame!
Next, I added some black lace to the inside. I hot glued it into place and then hot glued over the top as well. I love using lace for an earring holder because there are tons of holes to hang or poke your earrings through!
That's it! This project is super easy and quick.
I have mine sitting on our counter hanging by the toothbrushes. No, my counters do not stay this clean. And yes, everything that was there is on the right side of the counter that I'm not going to show you 🙂
I intentionally made it the opposite colors of the one I have hanging up. I didn't want it to be matchy-matchy.
How do you store your earrings??

Hopefully this email finds you with the attitude of gratitude! Personally, I find myself the most grateful for the very thing that is the most challenging in my life, which is my 4 year old, Boone. At times I am able to stay centered and calm and then at times I lose it completely! The space in between the calm and losing it is where I enjoy the sweetness of just being grateful for what is and it's offerings. I find this is similar to practice... it is usually the hardest postures that offer the most profound lessons, giving me the opportunity to grow as a person and to gradually shift suffering into joy.
I invite all of you to practice letting go of your judgements and attachments to what is 'right', 'wrong', 'could be', 'should be', both on and off your yoga mat. May you also find contentment in simply being and develop an attitude of gratitude in the most challenging obstacles and joyful celebrations alike.

Hi, I am Kellee Morris and I am (one of) your yoga teacher (s) here at Bikram Yoga Sandy! I graduated from Bikram Teacher Training in the Fall of 2000 with Jackie, and can truly say, these years as a Bikram Instructor have been the best of my life. Life truly began with Bikram Yoga as, for me, the world unfolded clearly only after I accepted this yoga to be the pivotal foundation of my enduring lifestyle. I have taught all over the country, without interruption since I graduated and can honestly say, I have never taught a class I didn't love teaching!
Bikram Yoga has helped me overcome crippling fibromyalgia, depression and opened my life to the myriad possibilities of potential in overcoming circumstances, history, emotional issues and learning that when I can focus one spot on myself in the mirror, keep my mind inside my brain for 10 seconds, that I am capable of creating things I never dreamed of! Today I revel in the development of who I have become because of how this yoga showed me my own life path.
I love Bikram yoga with my whole heart. I didn't like it when I started it, it hurt, but I invested in the pain in order to overcome the tremendous suffering which had become a part of life which I liked even less. Today, middle aged, and happier than I could have ever imagined, I am a huge advocate of Bikram Yoga. I teach it with sensitivity to the individual.
My speciality is enthusiasm and positive energy with a focus on precise alignment and subtle adjustments within the postures to keep your body free from misalignment. I adore sacred geometry exhibited as we practice the postures.
As a senior teacher who has stayed close to Bikram and HQ, I am constantly learning and growing in my teaching. I am always happy to listen and answer questions, always sincerely interested in the well being of my students and I look forward to embarking on this journey of your yogic unfolding with you. Namaste

The Allan Room
This is the largest of our first floor luxury rooms and bears the name of the Scottish shipping magnate whose family built and lived in Linndhu from the early 1900s. Double aspect with a large bay window the guest is provided with a sweeping panorama of the Sound of Mull, the hills of Ardnamurchan and the extensive grounds of the house.
This room is situated on the first floor and again has a double aspect so is large and bright with views out over the south facing gardens and down towards the river. Fine Scots pine, ancient oaks, glorious silver birch and Japanese Maples sit proudly in the grounds and hint at a glorious past that experimented with the imports of 19th century plant hunters.
The Fishing room
Linndhu has its own trout stream running through the grounds towards the spectacular waterfall in Aros Park. This room was where the Edwardian owners kept their fly rods and catch records and is a nod back to those days.
Ben Hiant
This first floor room can be made up as a twin or a Super King. The name comes from the impressive and beautiful mountain which fills the view from the window.
The Aros Room
Named after the beautiful Aros Park which once formed the grounds to Aros House Estate and was the former grand home of the Allan Family. Why not take some time to wander along the paths and trails within the park, by the lily
covered lochan and the coastal paths to Tobermory.

Surprise—You've Been Promoted!
As some of you will recall, I went to work for Grayson Maxwell & Sugarman before I knew whether or not I had passed the terrifying Bar Exam. I wish I could say I remember those first months well-but I don't. I remember I had to get a "professional" wardrobe—after all, my last job was in the USAF and I had green fatigues on every day! So I did. That I recall.
I seem to remember doing some really boring things like updating practice guides. The law changes every time a new case comes down—and sometimes when a legislature changes things. So the handy-dandy guides which tell lawyers what the law is and how the heck to do various things (trust me, we can't read the statutes either—they are gibberish) change about twice a year. These are in large ring binders and only some pages have to be replaced and if you mess up and replace the wrong page the books are FUBAR forever. BORING. This is my WORST thing on the planet Earth… Mindless tedium with stress. Thank God now I never need to do this any more.
But at least I got familiar with the darned things—they are very very useful. In any case, I suppose the partners must have given me SOME real work to do…for reasons which will soon become clear. Because what I do remember is the day I got my Bar results. Now this was back when there were two ways to find out—wait for the mail or go down to downtown LA and look at the posted results at the State Bar offices.
Those of us with jobs (and a low desire to suffer crowds of stressed out humans) waited for the mail. So one fine day in late November I was at work when I got a call from Jeff. Remember him? He was my boyfriend at the time and my class mate and fellow results awaiter. (He had sworn, when we were taking the test in 2 different locations, that he blew one of the essays completely…) Seems he had gotten the mail….. The results were in the mail… And HE HAD PASSED!
So I knew for sure MY mail had MY results—we lived not that far apart. And I knew if he had passed I didn't I would die. So my bosses took pity on me, and let me go home right after that call.
My job was in Glendale (Glassell Park, really) and home was Sierra Madre. It was probably a half hour drive at non rush hour—which (to the best of my recollection) this was. So at, maybe, 3:30 I got home and parked at the top of the long sloping driveway. The mail box was at the bottom. We had been told a fairy tale that if you got a thick envelope it meant you had failed (I guess because they return your essays.) In any case, I went down the hill and opened the mailbox and there was a thick seeming envelope from the State Bar. ALL I REALLY remember is the looking at the contents of the envelope–on the ground–as I tried to see what,exactly, was in there. Then I remember seeing the words "The Committee of Bar Examiners is pleased…"
I read no farther. I think I called Jeff and then work. I felt oddly numb. Relieved the ordeal was over—but not elated as I had expected.
What else I don't remember is if the partners waited… or if they fired the other associate immediately. Seems they had planned to ditch her if I passed. Bingo—I had a full caseload. I'd been promoted!!! I was an attorney. A real attorney. Clueless me. Oddly depressed me. Clients lives were in my inexperienced hands. Oy vey. (I wonder if the ditched associate still hates me?)
Stay tuned…

I am sure that was a very hectic and frantic time for you! I was getting anxious just reading about it! hehe Glad you passed though 🙂
March 7, 2012 at 3:23 am
The oddest part was feeling no elation when I passed! But until I started at the Human Potential Movement (upcoming) I felt depressed and more than a little incompetent! Thanks for commenting!

Storage cabinets with doors are a popular garage storage solution because, by their very nature, they can mask unsightly home maintenance items we need to store. Typically, garage storage cabinets are used to house items like cleaning supplies and leftover paint – that is, items that can look like a cluttered jumble if left on an open shelf. Some homeowners opt for lockable storage cabinets to house toxic items, especially if there are children in the home (see example below).
Everything we've said about garage shelving applies equally well to garage storage cabinets, with the added point that the doors and sides hide (and protect) the items inside. That is, like shelving, heavier items should be stored lower, and stored items should be sorted into logical groups. Boxes or bins can be used inside the cabinet to contain those groupings, and they can be labeled to further facilitate later access.
Because garage storage cabinets are enclosed, the interior space can contain more than a simple shelf. They can be subdivided into "cubbies" (useful when you want to maintain separation between items or different groups of items) or you might equip your shelves with drawers (as shown below) to organize smaller items like hardware or craft supplies.
Sometimes a storage cabinet's interior will take advantage of its supporting sides and allow for adjustable shelves. This can be very handy when you have some items which are larger than normal and some that are smaller. (You can click this link to read the highly complimentary reviews for the Prepac storage cabinet with adjustable shelves available on Amazon.)
A cabinet that stands on the floor and is over five or six feet in height is sometimes called a "closet" rather than a storage cabinet. This type of storage unit might not have shelves at all; instead, the entire vertical space might be left open (designed to store garden tools or sports equipment) or equipped with a hanging bar across the top (useful, perhaps, for storing bulky off-season clothing). Here is an example of this type of storage cabinet / closet on Amazon.
When Are Storage Cabinets Better Choice Than Shelves?
Storage cabinets are typically a more expensive solution than shelves, so when should you spend the extra money and opt to use them instead of garage shelving? There are three main reasons:
To Hide Clutter. A set of shelves where all sorts of "stuff" is left visible is simply not aesthetically pleasing. Some people don't care how their garages look; others do. There's not one right-or-wrong answer, of course, but the reality is storage cabinets make garage look more organized and tidy.
To Protect Items from the Elements. Garages are seldom heated or air conditioned. Often doors are left open for long periods of time, and cars drive in wet from rain or snow. Given these environmental considerations (not to mention dirt, insects or other vermin), some of your items in storage may need protection.
For Safety's Sake. Some commonly stored items really shouldn't be left readily accessible — toxic chemicals, sharp tools or BB guns, for example — especially if there are children living in or visiting your home. For these items, lockable storage cabinets are strongly recommended.

Amazing views of the falls I would definitely recommend doing this!!!
The restaurant was very nice, view from the tower were awesome. We went both during the day and night. Recommend doing this.
Go early as less crowded. Fantastic views
The trip was great and all the tours were outstanding..
Hubby and I did the cruise into the Niagara Falls the day before, so was great going up the Skylon Tower to be able to see the falls from above too.
Skylon was great highly recommended, just remember you are high and there is some wind
Amazing experience! Nothing can ever prepare you for the view you will experience from a top the Skylon Tower, and the food ....Devine!
Don't worry about pre-paying. Just make your reservation and go!
A wonderful opportunity to see the falls and the surrounding area. Access to restrooms was difficult and the quality of the food was poor and very expensive. We had soup and salad with one shrimp cocktail for 80.00.

After all, this is Spain, part of the civilized West, what could happen? Right?
It is indeed Spain. What we easily forget that Spain is a traumatized country by its recent history. The transition from the Franco regime and its decades long brutality was done quickly with no accountability for the perpetrators or closure for the victims.
Such elements in a society's history do not disappear that easily. Look at the rise of German nationalism. And that, despite utmost sensitivity shown to the issue and many decades of active intervention.
Today, it is being reported that the Guardia Civil injured hundreds of protesters in Barcelona. According to the BBC, thus far 337 people were injured.
Here is a clip of what they did in and around one polling station.
This is a link to BBC showing large crowds being attacked by baton wielding officers.
There are some graphic scenes of violence being broadcast to the world. Officers firing rubber bullets.
People bleeding from open head wounds.
People thrown to the ground forcibly pulled by their legs.
And people being beaten mercilessly.
Here is a longer clip, if you want to see the Guardia Civil in action.
I have no idea how this will end but I am sure it is not going to end well.
I am also curious how the EU's Commission will handle this show of illiberal democracy in the West.
In any event, mark 1 October in your calendars. You will hear about it in the coming months and years.
This is the beginning of tribal politics in Spain.

Since last summer one of my favorite blogs has been Slate Star Codex. Scott Alexander may be long-winded but his willingness to consider an idea honestly, apart from its expressive implications, is rare and refreshing. He recently reviewed David Friedman's classic The Machinery of Freedom and highlighted this passage:
Under any institutions, there are essentially only three ways that I can get another person to help me achieve my ends: love, trade, and force.
By love I mean making my end your end. Those who love me wish me to get what I want (except for those who think I am very stupid about what is good for me). So they voluntarily, 'unselfishly', help me. Love is too narrow a word. You might also share my end not because it is my end but because in a particular respect we perceive the good in the same way. You might volunteer to work on my political campaign, not because you love me, but because you think that it would be good if I were elected. Of course, we might share the common ends for entirely different reasons. I might think I was just what the country needed, and you, that I was just what the country deserved.
Love—more generally, the sharing of a common end—works well, but only for a limited range of problems. It is difficult to know very many people well enough to love them. Love can provide cooperation on complicated things among very small groups of people, such as families. It also works among large numbers of people for very simple ends—ends so simple that many different people can completely agree on them. But for a complicated end involving a large number of people—producing this book, for instance—love will not work. I cannot expect all the people whose cooperation I need—typesetters, editors, bookstore owners, loggers, pulpmill workers, and a thousand more—to know and love me well enough to want to publish this book for my sake. Nor can I expect them all to agree with my political views closely enough to view the publication of this book as an end in itself. Nor can I expect them all to be people who want to read the book and who therefore are willing to help produce it. I fall back on the second method: trade.
I contribute the time and effort to produce the manuscript. I get, in exchange, a chance to spread my views, a satisfying boost to my ego, and a little money. The people who want to read the book get the book. In exchange, they give money. The publishing firm and its employees, the editors, give the time, effort, and skill necessary to coordinate the rest of us; they get money and reputation. Loggers, printers, and the like give their effort and skill and get money in return. Thousands of people, perhaps millions, cooperate in a single task, each seeking his own ends. So under private property the first method, love, is used where it is workable. Where it is not, trade is used instead.
The attack on private property as selfish contrasts the second method with the first. It implies that the alternative to 'selfish' trade is 'unselfish' love. But, under private property, love already functions where it can. Nobody is prevented from doing something for free if he wants to. Many people—parents helping their children, volunteer workers in hospitals, scoutmasters—do just that. If, for those things that people are not willing to do for free, trade is replaced by anything, it must be by force. Instead of people being selfish and doing things because they want to, they will be unselfish and do them at the point of a gun.
Is this accusation unfair? The alternative offered by those who deplore selfishness is always government. It is selfish to do something for money, so the slums should be cleaned up by a 'youth corps' staffed via 'universal service'. Translated, that means the job should be done by people who will be put in jail if they do not do it.
Though Friedman says it better than I can one of the lessons I try to get my students to absorb is that however much they may dislike how markets work, there isn't a better system in terms of resource allocation that can work on any policy-relevant scale. (Remember, economics is mostly not about policy but my course is.)
One of the great things about SSC is that its readership appears to be mainly people who (1) are very bright, (2) don't grok economics, and therefore (3) are much more likely than not to be constructivists when it comes to social science. One of the major lessons we get in economics is that there are serious limits on what can be feasibly constructed in the social realm. Seeing this passage endorsed on a blog they frequent is all the good news I need for one day.

The PDPA-Taxation module is designed to equip registrants with the competencies necessary to provide taxation services and guidance. The scope includes assisting individual and corporate entities to minimize taxes and meet their objectives while remaining in compliance with tax laws and regulations. The registrant learns to address compliance and tax-planning issues for both individuals and corporate entities, as well as, to a lesser extent, partnerships and trusts. Registrants also learn to go beyond presenting issues by considering the broader circumstances and risk tolerance of all stakeholders involved. In addition, registrants develop competence in the areas of tax governance, controls, and risk management, in recognizing the interrelationship between financial reporting decisions and taxation, and in recognizing the importance of considering taxes when making business and investment decisions.
The PDPA-Taxation module is self-study and includes access to a facilitator to mark assignments and to answer questions. Registrants have the option of attending a two-day weekend workshop (with candidates enrolled in the CPA Professional Education Program) and submitting assignments for review by the facilitator.
The PDPA-Taxation module consists of the following components:

We've been in Mexico for a bit over 8 months now, and have learnt stacks of things. In some ways living here is a bit like living in Sydney - apart from everything being in Spanish, but there are some (in fact, quite a few) profound differences.
Take for example the question of qualifications.
When I was teaching a PTC course to people in Sydney, I'd regularly say 'Remember, this course is not about the mark you get in the exam or the piece of paper that you will be awarded. This course is about your godliness and equipping for ministry.' And everyone would nod and get on with it.
When I teach PTC here is Latin America the reaction is very different. Its not that the students are not interested in the subject matter or growing in godliness and being equipped for ministry - far from it. The difference is, for many of them, the piece of paper, the qualification that comes as a result of completing this course is a really big deal.
Why the difference?
From (only) 8 months of observation, here are some preliminary thoughts and reflections.
1. For better or for worse, the system of education here is much more respectful of authority. Teachers are held in the highest regard, their opinion carries great weight and therefore the qualification that they have as teacher is of great importance. Of course this can have all sorts of outcomes - ranging from a less than encouraging pattern of education to an inability to ask questions and process information. But, thats the way it is.
2. Because of this high view of authority, qualifications are an essential component in a resume when you're trying to get a job. And often we're not talking the quality of the qualification, but the quantity. The more certificates, diplomas, short courses and recognitions you have in your folder the better, because it makes you better at your job.
3. Jobs are often hard to get, especially ministry jobs where money is tight, so the more 'qualified' you are the more likely you are to get the job.
These factors, and I'm sure many more, lead to two very common questions being asked here when I talk about PTC.
(a) What degree or qualification will this work towards?
(b) Who will recognize / accredit the coursework I have done?
In my years of teaching in Australia I don't think I have ever been asked this question, and yet everytime I taught in Africa or start talking with people here in Latin America, it is raised almost without fail.
At the moment we have one option for counting PTC subjects towards a bachelor's degree - through FLET, a University based on Miami, USA. However this is an expensive option and not particularly accessible or satisfactory.
And so there is a great challenge ahead, and many questions being raised.
Australia has a great reputation when it comes to education - right up there with England and the USA (in fact often better). Should we be aiming for accreditation from an Australian institution?
The coursework as it stands is pretty much right for a degree level course, but what about the readings and assignments. Many of the required texts are not available in Spanish.
If an institution is going to award degree status, what will be the effect on other degrees offered by the institution?
These are important questions that do need to be thought about. The PTC is a world class 'product', and as more translations are completed, the questions of accreditation and recognition are going to keep coming.

How important is the bit of paper?

Hey Pete.
'This is not about the piece of paper' is a disclaimer that only really works if you have that piece of paper.
I'm not saying that makes the disclaimer any less true (1 Cor 4:3).
But it is good to be able to consider the matter from the point of view of those who don't have that piece of paper.

Things are picking up! We got the elevator rigged and the motors hooked up. It's very heavy, but 2x 775pro motors are well enough to keep it moving fast. We designed it to drive a 40 lb load 40 inches in less than a second. The travel distance ended up being over 70 inches, but this is still plenty fast enough. The speed worked out well to give us a stall voltage of 3V, which should be enough to never burn out a 775 over the course of a match. We plan to test and make sure it acts the same as in theory. Motors don't like their magic smoke being let out too much.
Intake prototyping continues. The last prototype didn't let us change the compression at all, so we cut new plates that will. We haven't gotten the compliant wheels yet, but the Banebots will do until then.
After a few days of arguing with the Talons, we finally got a robot driving. 16 fps on a chassis with no weight is scary fast- on the dusty concrete floor we were able to spin it out like it had omni wheels.

A man who is running a website helping men find "second wives" claims it benefits women as well.In the UK, polygamous marriages – where a person has more than one spouse – are only recognised if they took place in countries where they are legal.However, no UK laws stop unregistered religious ceremonies taking place.Azad Chaiwala told BBC Inside Out: "The second wife website came about from my need, and thinking there'll be other people in my situation."Most Muslims in the UK do not practise polygamy, but some interpretations of the Koran say that a man may marry two, three or four women, so long as he can deal justly and fairly with each of them.
Mr Chaiwala, from Sunderland, said: "There are other deceiving ways of doing it – affairs, prostitution etc. – those are not necessarily good for relationships. "Here it's more honourable."He said 100,000 people had signed up – with men outnumbering women three to one – but denied it was something just for men."It takes two hands to clap; a guy can't do it on his own," he said."We've got so many successful marriages and so many women signed up themselves…they are opting to enter this kind of relationship."
Mr Chaiwala said the whole idea was to build "bigger and better families" – but not everyone agrees.Prof Thom Brooks, dean of Durham Law School, said polygamy typically involved a husband choosing multiple wives, giving him "full control over who every single member of that family is".He said: "I think that as the country's trying to get a greater sense of equality, certainly trying to make steps towards gender equality, I think this is something which would be a stumbling block – this would be a setback."Tarek, a doctor from South Yorkshire, who does not wish to give his second name, signed up to the website.He said: "I found there were a lot of ladies who are growing old, or divorced, or single mothers, and nobody's really interested in them."I thought 'well if I have the ability to manage more than one wife then I would like to have this opportunity'. "I'm not just doing it to have, I'm doing it to give."
Tracy, his "second wife", said: "I thought long and hard about polygamy and I thought 'well, OK, this could actually work out to my advantage'. "I want to be married to somebody but I still want to be able to travel and have my independence."However, she admitted it was not always easy and has asked to renegotiate the written marriage contract from one day a week to two."I do think about my co-wife, they've got another child coming along, she does need more support," she said."I've found myself being more insecure… it's really affecting me."As much as I really love Tarek, I wouldn't do it again, because it's not easy emotionally, it really isn't."Tarek said: "It's up to the man, as wise as he could be, to treat them fairly and kindly and caringly."The woman has the choice. She can walk away from the 'marriage' at any point."The full report is on BBC Inside Out in the North East & Cumbria and Yorkshire & Humberside at 19:30 BST on Monday 23 October and afterwards on the iPlayer.

The Perils of Paulie by Katie MacAlister: Paulina so badly needs to escape. While she loves volunteering, she yearns for adventures and the ability to live away from her highly paranoid and overprotective father. She just wants to be independent and live her own life without her father's interference. When she learns of a new reality TV show where contestants re-create the 1908 road race from New York to Paris, she immediately jumps in as a way to see the world.
Dixon isn't happy. He's running his brother's estate and trying to avoid the well-meaning efforts of matchmaking by family members. Everyone continues to push him to move on from a past relationship, but he's not looking for a relationship of any kind. As a way to avoid matchmaking efforts, he agrees to joined the road race with his brother.
Paulie is very much looking forward to whirlwind month-long race and she loves the idea of dressing up as each team of racers has a "themed" car. Paulie and Dixon have an awkward first few encounters. They come across as being socially awkward, flustered, and totally off their game, which makes for highly entertaining scenes.
"Sorry," Dixon murmured, looking extremely uncomfortable.
"No, it's my fault," I said, taking the high ground and apologizing. "I shouldn't have leaned into you that way. Not everyone likes it. Just so you know, I have a couple of gay friends."
His eyes widened. "I'm not gay."
Everyone is excited to begin the race, but there seems to be problems from almost the beginning. While there's chaos with the race and racers, Paulie and Dixon do get closer on and off screen as their competitive sides come out. They recover from an awkward beginning and enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship where they can explore their chemistry with each new stop along the race.
"We will if you and Melody are able to keep up in the De Dion."
"Ha ha–oh, how I laugh at your misguided notion," she said with a snort, and pinched my hand. "The Thomas Flyer is, after all, the car that won the original race. There's no way your little French car can keep us with us once we let the Flyer have his head."
The Perils of Paulie is laugh out loud funny with quirky and entertaining characters. Katie MacAlister created a varied cast of characters who engage in the shenanigans expected of a reality TV show. Ms. MacAlister pulls you in with a creative storyline and keeps you guessing as to what might happen next. The Perils of Paulie can very easily be read as a standalone in the Matchmaker in Wonderland series. Fans of Kendra Leigh Castle and Jessica Clare will enjoy The Perils of Paulie.
Book Info:
Publication: January 3rd 2017 | Jove | Matchmaker in Wonderland #4
A fast and furious new Matchmaker in Wonderland novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Daring in a Blue Dress.
Sheltered by a strict father, Paulina Rostakova spends her time working for the family business and yearning for some grand adventure. So when contestants are needed for a reality show reenacting an historic 1908 car race across the US, Asia, Russia, and Europe, Paulie jumps at the chance to get behind the wheel of a vintage car.
Dixon Ainslie has nothing to lose by entering the race, except the rut he's been in since the death of his girlfriend years ago. But as other racers begin to drop out, the producers want Dixon to join forces with Paulie—on one condition: they have to pretend to fall in love and get married.
And as their scripted courtship takes off, Dixon and Paulie will have to take a detour into reality to turn the sparks flying between them into a passion with staying power…

'She's probably the loneliest she's ever been,' she says of her character circa 2008
The Halloween episode of This Is Us scared up a new time period to explore — welcome to 2008, brought to you by Obama-Biden — as well as some new information on the Pearson family. As it turns out, Kevin (Justin Hartley) was struggling so severely in his bid to become an actor, he attempted (and failed to) steal a choice part from his roommate who'd just landed a big movie (and who'd even helped him out on rent). His twin sister, Kate (Chrissy Metz), had a fling with a married guy in hopes of… well, just to create any sort of momentum in her life. Meanwhile, their adopted brother, Randall (Sterling K. Brown), tried his darndest to get back to normal after suffering a breakdown as Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson) prepared to give birth to a daughter who would be named after a ceiling fan. And deeper into the past — circa 1990 — we saw young Randall (Lonnie Chavis) battling anxiety and having trouble deviating from a plan (and trying to process some half-information from the neighbors about the other member of the original Big Three). In addition, Sonny and Cher, er, Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore) were not seeing eye-to-eye on how to manage Randall — or Kate, for that matter.
But it was the final scene of the episode — back in 2008 — that closed out the proceedings with a revelation: Rebecca received a Facebook message from Miguel (Jon Huertas), who reached out to see what she had been up to the last eight years. Does that give us confirmation that those two waited many years after Jack's death before connecting romantically? Are we now beginning to reconsider our feelings about him after that Facebook exchange? Or are we just relieved that he did not use the 'poke' feature?
So many questions. Thankfully, the Pearson matriarch shining at the center of the action is ready to answer our friend request and much more. Below is your full-size — not fun-size — interview with a woman who would gladly share a Twix and her thoughts with you on "The 20s" and beyond: Mandy Moore.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Let's start at the final scene and that big revelation. Rebecca has joined Facebook! Wait, that's not it. Miguel contacted her out of the blue, mentioning that he hasn't spoken to her in eight years. Our first thought: This indicates Rebecca and Miguel did not connect romantically until at least 2008, which would mean many, many years passed after Jack's death before they became a couple, which would mean that Miguel is not such a bad guy.
MANDY MOORE: I know. Can the world like him now? I feel like this is a clear indication that the world can slowly start to embrace Miguel. This was a new revelation to us as well that was not something I was expecting. I mean, I had my own thought in my mind about when they sort of found each other, but I was clearly as surprised as the audience was to read that at the end of this episode…. And I feel like it opened up a whole new line of questioning. The more important thing is it was a bit of redemption for him, because he's so universally — I don't want to say "reviled" [Laughs] — but people have very strong opinions about Miguel.
If Jack died around 1997, and in 2008, Miguel says they didn't talk for eight years, that would mean he and Rebecca would have been in touch for three years after Jack died. So, what happened there? Maybe it wasn't that they had some spark and tried to give it a shot but Rebecca felt it was too early, but what was it about Jack's death — or the aftermath — that led them to losing touch? That's a new question.
It is a new question and you'd have to ask Dan [Fogelman, the show's creator] for that, because I don't have all the answers. I mean, I have an idea, but I think the better thing at this point is just to focus on the fact that Miguel and Rebecca did not get together until after 2008. This long period of time went by. I think they were still definitely involved in each other's lives obviously after losing their best friend and her spouse. I think that in my mind, the family leaned on him and I think he really stepped up as a best friend would to help make sure that the family was okay and staying on the right track, but I still like to believe that nothing crossed that line until this point in time.
So, if people have Miguel pegged wrong, as Dan has long hinted, do you and Jon joke about that on set?
We definitely do. Jon is the greatest sport of all time. I mean, having to step in and fill Jack's shoes — that's not an easy position for anyone to be put in, but I think if anyone's up to the task, it's definitely Jon Huertas. I've heard that next season is going to focus a lot on their relationship, and I'm excited to build that with Jon. He just has such an incredible attitude. First of all, he's so charming and so winning, just as a human, but I'm really excited for what he's going to bring to this character to potentially win people over — and to at least get people to understand where he's coming from. I know that's a real tall order, but I feel like he's up to the task. And he's hilarious, too. I always have so much fun when we both are put through hours and hours of makeup and removal — Jon's my partner in crime in that sense. [Laughs] We're the only two actors that really know what it's like to sit through nearly four hours of makeup all the time — and then the hour and change removal. He's like a brother in arms in that sense.
You didn't film this scene with him, because Rebecca was responding to a message on Facebook, but have you talked to Jon about this latest development? Was he like, "Yes! We're finally getting a hint of that!"?
I haven't connected with him, actually. But maybe I will reach out after this episode. We haven't had anything together. I have a feeling that later on in the season, we'll have more stuff together, but probably not during this time period.

I have been teaching at Ross Ford Elementary School since the fall of 2001. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with young children. Encouraging creativity in children is my passion. I frequently remember the words of my Mom, a retired elementary teacher, -"Oh, you are so lucky to teach! " I agree!
I live on an acreage with my husband and Border Collie/Healer dog. My two sons, Jacob and Ben, are pursuing their education dreams by attending university. I love spending time with my family when we are able to get together and cooking up large feasts. I enjoy gardening, golfing, hiking, yoga and spending time at the lake. I have been an avid hockey mom for years and I am missing hockey now that my son has moved on to other opportunities. Hopefully, I can attend hockey games at the local Didsbury Arena to attend my student's games.

However, most of the material from 'Suffer In Silence' can barely be classified as being songs. And the album could not be more inappropriately named! An album name such as 'Suffer in Thunderous Heavy Metal' may be more apt. All that said, 'Interlude' is quite a cheerful respite from the noise, and opener 'My Life' is fairly likeable. Excellent guitar solos feature throughout. Perhaps this would appeal to anyone experiencing a particularly hate-the-world phase of their life, and not those of you who are more used to watching Simon Cowell sling insults to contestants on the X Factor.

Hometown Adventures: Why It Can Be Good to Act Like a Tourist in Your Hometown
We love traveling but we love adventures in and around our hometown of Park City just as much. Living in a tourist town can make you want to steer clear of anything touristy but it can be good to view your hometown from the perspective of someone who is there on vacation. Here's why:
1. You appreciate the little things. When you live somewhere it can be easy to overlook the little things that make your town special. The coffee shop just seems like a coffee shop. When you are on vacation that same coffee shop is charming and artsy and the perfect place to watch the snow fall while sipping your chai.
2. You notice the beauty all around you. When you are on vacation everything is more beautiful. You ooh and ahhh over every mountain, street and landscape. At home you tend to just go on your way. Take out your camera in your hometown. Yes, you will look like a tourist, but looking at your home through your camera lens and through the eyes of a visitor will help you to appreciate just how beautiful it is.
3. You practice mindfulness. Being on vacation forces you to be mindful and present. You are taking in everything around you and you have no choice but to be present and enjoy the moment. Adopt this mindset when you are at home and you will feel more present and more aware.
4. You remember why you live there. Traveling is amazing but it's important to love your home as well. Acting like a tourist helps us remember all the wonderful reasons why we chose to live where we live.

Since pulling the plug on the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, the US has put the EU, China, Russia, France, Britain and Germany in a quandary regarding why it ended. Showing no clear road-map since then, Trump has his European allies on nail-biting edge while China and Russia have taken the news with some equanimity.
Having gained more experience after dealing with North Korea, maybe the US will focus on lasting denuclearization this timeSabena Siddiqui

This year, I volunteered for at least one community service and I'm doing a lot of work with helping others. I wrote at least one screenplay, maybe a couple. I was able to visit Puerto Rico and Haiti - or, at least, I seized the opportunity if it arose.
I was able to do a full detox at least once. I learned either judo or some martial art form of self-defense. I can (kinda) play my twelve-string guitar. Ideally, I'd like to be on my way with the piano, bass, and maybe the pennywhistle. I have a basic understanding of music theory. I also roughly know ASL, and I've got a much better grip on Japanese and Spanish. I'm better with the French alphabet, and I'd like to be progressing a bit with Arabic if I end up deciding to go with the Peace & Justice Studies group to the Middle East next year.
I'm more than halfway done with my English major and I am close to finishing. I might have about a year more to go. I have at least a thousand dollars in savings and I'm saving up for both a motorcycle and, eventually, Japan.
If love came, I wasn't fooled again. I didn't go searching for it; it only came to me, and in whatever form I took. What was most important was the love I could find in revisiting old friendships...and with any hope, one in particular has ideally and finally arrived at the place I've always wanted it to be. With any further hope (and likely a lot of luck had something to do with it, too) there was at last a place I reached with my father, and most importantly with my mother.
I have come to be comfortable with where I stand about God. My choice to either stay or leave the LDS church was not coercion or performance. I made my choice based on what I want most and what I need most. I didn't come to some kind of all-encompassing, self-righteous enlightenment. I only reached a point where the questions were no longer so pressing, or so urgent. I'm satisfied with what I found, even if I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

Don't worry. They were just talking. The House Administration Committee has been discussing just discussing, mind you a little scheme called per-diem reimbursement, which would allow congressman who live more than two blocks down the street to collect $165 a day in "expenses" whenever they show up for work. Up to $25,000 in extra tax-free cash a year.
A spokesman for the Committee, Jim Forbes, is upset that Congress has been criticized for plotting this nefarious maneuver, which would be imposed by a House rule rather than legislation. Forbes says, "It's a pay raise but…not an expenditure to taxpayers. If [Congress] would have done it, which won't happen now, but if they would have, it would have been at the expense of their own budget. It was also a voluntary thing . . . if it had passed [members] would not have been mandated to take it. It was on a voluntary basis."
Did you get all that? According to Forbes, congressional budgets somehow don't come out of taxpayer pockets. So the pay raise is not something taxpayers have to worry about. Also hey, relax it would have been completely voluntary. Have you ever turned downed a salary increase? No? Well, it's completely voluntary, you know. I'm sure your boss would be very happy to let you work for less money, or maybe even for free. Just something they were talking about. It's not going to happen. Not right now, anyway. Well, I have a suggestion: Stop talking about it!
This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Romaine lettuce, chopped.
Green onions, chopped.
Croutons (see below)
1 cup oil (vegetable)
1/2 vinegar
1 to 2 cloves of garlic, minced.
salt and pepper
1/2 dry mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
I combined several recipes I found on allrecipes.com.
I like anchovies but I don't have any on hand.
Also, raw eggs and I don't get along very well with the auto immune.
Every recipe called for blending the ingredients.
I loaned my mini blender to a family with a little one.
So, what to do? Whisk, baby, whisk.
Croutons: 2 teaspoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons butter, salt and pepper to taste,
and any leftover day or two old bread, tear or chop.
Heat oil and butter, toss in bread and seasonings.
Toast until golden brown.
Lettuce – green onions – spoon over dressing – cheese – croutons.

In his fifth State of the Union address, President Obama should face the harsh reality facing millions of Latinos still struggling to find full-time employment, particularly those in search of low-skill and entry level jobs. As the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report confirms, overall Hispanic unemployment, still hovering at 8.3 percent, remains 1.6 percent higher than the nation's as a whole.
From Washington, D.C. to San Francisco, local politicians were the first to seize on increasing the minimum wage in their communities and states, while demands for raising the federal minimum wage have steadily grown louder. Expect these cries to reach a crescendo during the President's speech, and in the days that follow.

Merry Christmas from Avy Gravy, The Dude, The Big Guy and of course, ME! This year we took our yearly photos at my sister in law's farm where she houses her beautiful horse Carter and an adorable pony, Monkey. I wanted the photos to appear like we had just left a farmhouse style wedding and the we were all tired and worn out, with the sun setting behind us. Elaborate, I know, but I always go over the top with my concepts and the whole family loves to get in on the action. The kids had a fabulous time shooting as they always do with Meredith from Meredith Mascola Photography and the horses made it even more fun for them.
So I created a wide format folded card in an iridescent shimmer finish, adorned with blush watercolor stains and hexagons to maximize the amount of photos I could display. A kraft envelope and custom watercolor stained return address label that wraps around the envelope finish the ensemble.
Cheers and Merry Merry!

The Morning After
As much as I did not want to see an Obama presidency, I realize now that he will soon hold the office of the President of the United States of America. That commands my respect and my support. That doesn't mean I have to agree with everything, or for that matter, anything, but it does require my respect, for both the office and the holder of the office.
Furthermore, as a Christian, it is my duty to pray fervently for Obama per 1 Timothy 2:1-4. So, while I was the most ardently against an Obama presidency, I will with commit to most ardently support him and the office with my prayers and respect.
