30 REASONS YOUR MAN MIGHT CHEAT ON YOU
"It just happened" a truly exercised and tired line in the realm of explaining why cheating occurred. Yet, it still serves to be the most used and useless of excuses. What most minds don't take into account about cheating, is the prologue, that there is a build up to infidelity, where a series of levels of interaction have to happen before cheating becomes an idea and an act in motion. If you can recognise these signs then perhaps you can stop the affair from ever happening.
A man who has been faithfully married for 20 years doesn't just get up one day and think "I think I'll go and sleep with someone else." So why does he want to? Why does it happen? Well the list below is a definitive commentary on 30 reasons to answer those questions. It is here to shed light, it isn't here to condemn men or women for there parts, it is here to be used as a counter measure, so we can all recognise an approaching calamity and arrest it before it becomes a heart-breaking reality.
THE 30 REASONS
1. The opportunity presented itself...yep...that's it. For some men it's that easy, but more importantly, it tells you about his true state of mind. A man thinking like this should never be in an exclusive relationship.
2. For whatever reason, he has no real allegiance to his partner, therefore he doesn't will himself to withhold from any temptation.
3. Boredom. Ever made a sandwich to eat when you were bored, rather than hungry? Well he's doing this to fill in a missing something.
12. Revenge, you did something he really didn't like and now it's payback. Sometimes it's for his knowledge only, but sometimes he wants you to know he is cheating on you because he wants to hurt you.
13. He's just not that into you. You might actually be there to pass the time.
14. You have been together for so long, that he's with you out of habit, rather than desire, he might love you, the love might have gone or maybe he never loved you.
4. His 'partner' is that in title only. Maybe she's never really present and so they seldom move together as a couple. Maybe when she is around, she's focussed on everything but him - so in essence he is isolated and lonely. The affair fills in the gap.
5. He hasn't altered his bachelor mindset and so he continues to act as if he is still single...and not just when it comes to his fidelity how he plans his life, can be devoid of considering himself to be in union with a significant other.
6. His partner won't give him the type of sex he wants, so whether by random opportunity or by deliberate research, he's found that sex-style in another person.
7. He has lustful tendencies and wants to bang as often as possible...yes I said bang, it's carnal, he's not looking to make love, he wants to $%^fu@#$%!! somebody all the time.
8. Similar to 7, he has a high sex drive and his partner can't keep up and satisfy him.
9. He's not over an ex-partner and that's who he is seeing.
10. His child's mother from a previous relationship wants him back. At every chance she attempts to seduce his mind and body with ideas of being in his child's life on a permanent basis. She romanticises the past and acts as his wife when they are together. Ruses such as Dinner just so happening to be on the table as he drops off their kid or semi naked are employed to seduce him. She constantly illustrates the 'almost' family unit, that could exist in a heartbeat if he just said yes. She fuels ideas of better days to come, reminding him of their shared history and having learned from their mistakes. She further entices him with her body and whereas before she had sexual restrictions in their relationship, she now lets him know that he can do all the things he wasn't allowed to do when they were together.
11. There exists no ability, in this man whatsoever, to be a one woman guy. For some men, it is 100% impossible and they should never try it because all they do is leave a trail of broken hearts.
15. He wants an open relationship, but with you as his main squeeze. He has neglected to have this conversation with you and has gone about living this lifestyle regardless.
16. He finds you sexually limited and you're unwilling to do things that make you feel uncomfortable or even hurt you.
17. You're selfish in bed. You always control when you have sex and how you have it. Sex is about your pleasure only and so he's gone to find someone else that will make sex about him or at they very least them.
18. Ego boost, the other woman/women appreciate him in and out of bed.
19. He got an offer of something unique that he's never done before. Th33some, orgy, outside, in public, role play etc.
20. He wants to split-up with you, but doesn't have the balls to tell you, so he wants you to find out he is sexing someone else, so you'll split up with him.
21. He has outgrown you and as a consequence met someone else, forming a serious connection. The new person has has a magnetic allure over him, as they are very much on the same wavelength. In having an inferior and fast becoming redundant connection with you, he is pulled into doing what is wrong with her, before making things right with you.
22. Addicted to sex.
23. The enemy of monogamy is 'newness'.
A fresh face, personality and body for the male brain is a turn on.
And I would say that turn on has been one of the biggest nemesis to a man's fidelity.
But I would also say that the best counter-measure to this, is for the partner to reinvent herself from time-to-time.
24. He hasn't or can't achieve the state of 'girl blindness'.
When some guys find a woman they truly like, all other women suddenly stop existing. Yes, they still kinda recognise an attractive lady when you see one, but they don't factor in as anything special. In his own mind, his woman surpasses all others.
25. You cheated on him a while back and now someone has come into his circle that he doesn't want to resist. He now has the chance to play the game of 'you did it to me, so now I'm doing it back' . He may have actually been holding onto this opportunity for the right woman. Some men may use your cheating in the past as an excuse, but it may not be so calculating.
26. He's gay and you're a woman...so he's either with you because you're his social cover or he is self-deluded.
But the man is seeing another man or other men.
27. Commitment issues - if variety is the spice of life, then having just one woman to have sex with for the rest of his life, is like only being able to season his food with salt everyday. No nutmeg, paprika, coriander etc - just salt day in day out.
Also see no.23
28. Dissatisfaction with life a.k.a. the midlife crisis, a.k.a. let me re-live my youth.
Some men have meltdowns at a certain age, it usually occurs when they feel disillusioned with the path they have taken or they feel their mortality approaching - that type of stuff. Out of this realisation, they start doing all sorts of crazy things to retrograde their current position. One such crazy thang is to have sex, but probably with younger women which in itself is significant. It could however be sex with any women willing, but as long as it translates as a way of proving to his own ego that he's still vibrant, relevant, young and full of life, it's a possibility.
29. As a couple for whatever reason you've stopped having sex, he still wants you, but you are closed off to it for that whatever reason. He's now gone off to find physical satisfaction and an expression of love.
30. When he met you, your body was amazing to his eyes. Once you officially had him to call your own, you stopped looking after yourself and what attracted him to you physically has radically changed. Well, he's gone to find that body...on somebody else and you'd be surprised how the person he cheats with, is actually a version of you.
NUMEROUS PARTNERS VS ONE
If a man is sleeping with a lot of different women you have a better chance of repairing the relationship than if he is sleeping with one woman regularly. Ironically, if he is being faithful to a mistress - to one woman, then that woman could be a replacement of you or some part of you in some way and that is a dangerous situation. You need to find out what she literally means to him. Does he love her or not? Does he still love you? There is a misguided notion that you can only love one person at a time, that is a fantastical romantic notion, love has no limits.
HOW COULD HE? SHE'S UGLIER THAN ME
Some find it noteworthy to mention, when their man cheats on a woman, that is considered less attractive than them - I believe there are 2 reasons this happens.
1) It's just sex, if she seems up for it and she is not repulsive in his eyes, he's good.
2) DANGER! He's made a genuine, bonifide connection and has seen through her external looks to see her inner beauty! If this is the case, Houston we have trouble.

Apple appears to be refusing to take Spotify's recently claims lying down, instead choosing to publish a scathing response letter to the music streaming service which recently accused Apple of anti-competitive practices in the E.U. Business Insider reports that in a recent statement, Apple harshly responded to Spotify's antitrust claims, laying out the steps that Apple had taken to help Spotify in the development of its app and how Spotify benefited from the App Store.
"After using the App Store for years to dramatically grow their business, Spotify seeks to keep all the benefits of the App Store ecosystem — including the substantial revenue that they draw from the App Store's customers — without making any contributions to that marketplace," Apple said in the statement. Apple also noted that in its complaint over the 30 percent "App Store Tax" Spotify failed to note that after the first year, this figure drops to 15 percent.
Business Insider reached out to Spotify for comment but received no reply. Read Apple's full takedown of Spotify here.


What is the risk of not knowing enough about insulin?
0:07Skip to 0 minutes and 7 secondsDR MAYANK PATEL: Hello. I'm Doctor Mayank Patel from University Hospital Southampton, here in England.
0:12Skip to 0 minutes and 12 secondsDR NICOLA ENGLYST: And I'm Dr. Nicola Englyst. I'm an associate professor at the University of Southampton and I'm also the MSc Diabetes Best Practise programme lead. Now Mayank, can you tell me what it is about insulin that we need to know more about?
0:29Skip to 0 minutes and 29 secondsDR MAYANK PATEL: Every day, around the world, lots of people use insulin as a treatment for their diabetes. Perhaps you are one of those people. You may even know somebody, a family member or a friend, who uses insulin as part of their treatment for diabetes. You may even be a healthcare professional looking after somebody with diabetes. It's very clear from my work as a diabetes specialist that there are patients and people who do not know how insulin works and therefore don't get the most from it. Its most common use is in managing diabetes, as insulin helps to lower blood sugar levels.
1:08Skip to 1 minute and 8 secondsWorking as a diabetes specialist, I frequently encounter situations where fellow health care professionals do not understand how insulin works. As a result of that, there are patients who have come to harm and sadly in England have died through errors and neglect when using insulin. With all of these things in mind, I have worked with my colleagues at the Faculty of Medicine at University of Southampton to create this course All Things Insulin. We've endeavoured to produce a learning course where all information about insulin can be conveniently found in one place. We cover how insulin works, its physiology and biochemistry, through to it's use clinically to help people control their diabetes.
1:54Skip to 1 minute and 54 secondsWe sincerely hope you find this course useful and share the learnings widely. Thank you.
Insulin is an essential diabetes medication, yet errors in prescribing and administering insulin occur frequently and can result in hypoglycaemia and even death.
Improving knowledge of healthcare professionals, people with diabetes and their carers will improve insulin safe use.
In this short video, lead educators Dr Mayank Patel and Dr Nicola Englyst explain why we've created a course that brings together 'all things insulin' into one place.
Join the conversation by sharing your response to the following question. You can do this by posting in the discussion area below. Rather than on this step, we encourage you to introduce yourself in step 1.3 where we'd also like you to share with fellow learners where you are in the world on our learner location map, and what has motivated you to join the course.
What do you think is the risk of not knowing enough about insulin?
Share your response in the discussion area. Have a look at other learners' comments. If you can relate to a comment someone else has made, why not 'Like' it or leave a reply? You can filter the comments.
If you want to see recent activity on the course, select the Activity icon at the top of the step. If you're following someone, you can filter this list to show the comments of people you're following, or see if anyone has replied to a comment you've made.
You can now save interesting or useful comments by bookmarking. You can see them by selecting the Activity icon, and don't worry anything you save is private.
Comments should be clear and to the point; normally not more than two or three short paragraphs. Longer, more reflective posts are also welcome provided the clarity is maintained.
When you've finished this Step just select the pink 'Mark as complete' button. You will then be able to see at a glance which Steps you have completed on your 'To do' list, and so we can show you how much you've completed on your progress page.

I am not a morning person and don't enjoy cooking an elaborate breakfast because of the tight morning schedule of my kids and hubby dear. So Monday to Friday mornings are………..u can imagine; lunch box, snacks, and breakfast should be ready by 8.00 a.m. and I just can't make an elaborate breakfast. So I always opt for an easy and quick but healthy breakfast. Cucumber dosa is one such simple, easy, and healthy breakfast. We lived in Mercara, Coorg about 4 years ago and one of my neighbor used to make this and that is how I also started making. The best part is this dosa does not need any fermenting so you can call this an almost instant dosa.
Soaked raw rice: 2 cups.
White jaggery or sugar: 1 tsp.
Finely chopped green chilly: 1 or 2.
1. Peel cucumber and cut it into small pieces (no need to remove the seeds).
2. In a mixer put in the soaked raw rice, coconut, cooked rice, onion, jeera, jaggery, salt, and cucumber. Grind all this together. Do not add water. The batter should like idily batter and do not grind it very finely there should be a little "thari".
3. Pour into a bowel and put in the chopped onion, green chilly, and curry leaves. Add water only if the batter is too thick. It should be like idily batter.
4. Grease a dosa tava and pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the pan. Lightly spread the batter using the back of the ladle in a spiral motion starting from the center and ending outside. It is important to set the heat to low while pouring and spreading the batter. Sprinkle little ghee on top of it and cover it with a lid and wait for 1 minute then turn the dosa and cook that side too. Transfer it into a plate. Serve hot.
I don't usually add ghee while making this dosa, I just grease the tawa each time. This dosa can be eaten without any chutney as it is little spicy (so if kids are having reduce the green chillies; my son likes it without them.).


Just Watching the Wheels Go Round: This Jungian Life: The Mother-in-Law Problem?
"The mother-in-law is not only the subject of many a joke but the subject of fairy tale and myth.
Conflict between the older and younger woman lies in the archetypal realm, as both struggle to come to terms with differences, age, and the power of both youth and age.
Somehow my baby's right arm has come completely out of her socket and is completely detached.
I try to put it back into her socket, hoping for a miracle (which doesn't happen) so I put her back into her cot.
Later, I look for her, thinking I need to feed her but cannot find her.
I search high and low, still there's no baby.
By chance, I find her in another room, it was like she was deliberately moved there.
Her skin is very cold but she is alive.
Her arm is still detached.
I'll have to take her to the doctor's, I think, and get her arm sewn on, if that's even possible.
I'm sure there are nice mother-in-laws out there and I wish to God that I could have had one in my last marriage, but such is life with a wife ... and her mother, most times.
#28: Introspection and Accidental Initiations?
The front garden in my rented unit was basically just a dirt patch, so I dug most of the mother-in-law tongues out of my old garden and transplanted them into my new rented garden.
I'm glad that old grizzly is pretty much out of my life now and I hope our paths never cross again in this life, or the next.
I sure see her true colours now ... not that it was really that hard to see them before.
And I can't see that ban being lifted anytime soon for both of us.
Thanks for sharing our podcast Darren!
Good show it is too.
I have it on my iTune favourites list on my iPad and keep an eye out for the topics that interest me, which has been most of them so far.
Hopefully some of my blog readers now have the show on their favourite list also.


This week our class will be celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday and "Read Across America." Reading is such an important part of first grade. All of your life, you will read to learn, but in the primary grades, you learn to read. Seeing those "light bulb" moments in a child's eyes - that is my favorite part of teaching first grade!
This Cat in the Hat inspired project has one design, three suggestions for classroom use, but many more possibilities.
I created a simple hat by welding together two re-sized rectangles on the Gypsy.
The first idea celebrates your child's favorite books. Each child can write the title and author of his favorite books on each stripe. This will be a great decoration for a bulletin board or classroom display.
The second idea is an interactive learning center. Laminate these hats so students can use dry-erase markers on them. The children can browse Dr. Seuss books to find rhyming words to write on each hat. The stripes provide room for up to five rhyming words. Wipe the words off, and they are ready for the next poet!
The third idea is a reading activity to reinforce rhyming words, spelling patterns, or word families. Use your favorite Seuss titles for inspiration.
Join us back here, Tuesday, for a Blog Hop to celebrate "Read Across America."
Wish I would have had you for my first grade teacher, but you probably weren't born yet! Ha! LOL! LOVE your ideas!


"Couples in Action" is a contemporary art project that adapts the use of collective creative imaginations and performance in everyday life in conjunction with tools from technology-oriented society. Collective creative imaginations will allow the each individual to express their unconventional desire in their relationship and combine the imaginations satisfying both parties. It will integrate into your communication broadening …the horizon of their relationship and deepening the quality of the relationship. Performance in everyday life is a method of delivering thoughts and emotions collected from "collective creative imaginations". This performance is not scripted nor is staged, but giving you a chance to freely experience "what ifs" of your and your partner's imagination.
Throughout the duration of the project, the artist stayed with the couple of concern in their home and acted as an initiator and facilitator of the process; documenting and listening to their thoughts, collecting their imaginations, helping them decide what persona is best to perform, monitoring their performances and giving daily feedback of the performance and it's effects on their "actual" relationship.

Water or Chelsea Clinton?
I love the juxtaposition of people dying of thirst as others pay ninety five grand to have lunch with a chick who is best known for having a famous mum & dad.
Who needs water when you can have Chelsea?
Love is... that one person whose freshly-warm toilet seat you don't find disgusting.

It's all about society, which makes me wonder if that isn't a consequence of sentience, in which case that's why we've never seen ET - intelligence is a dead end.
You guys are missing the point.
They couldn't afford Hillary.
(I know that sounds like a snide joke, and I wish it was.)
GWB, our ex-prez, gave 200 speeches, post presidency, at $100,000 to $200,000 a pop.
I can't do that sort of math, but it sounds like a chunk of change.
Chelsea was the 1/2 price deal.
I would give a speech for $5.99 plus tax. unless it was longer than an hour.
But I'm not famous.
$4.99??
Di Wundrin
$4.99, bring your own lunch and you get the gig, I'd bet you'd be more fun than Chelsea.
It's not that they make such obscene attendance fees that burrs me up, it's that they are hailed as being 'charitable' for it. They probably also claim their travel and accommodation costs as tax breaks or something.
Do you reckon they pay for travel and accommodation?
Why would you when y'all kin be "ambassadors" for various multi billion corporations that own airlines and 5* hotels?
"Nobody should pin their hopes on a miracle": Vladimir Putin
Bernie Sanders was asked how he felt about all the money the Clintons get for speeches. Bernie is quite clever, and refuses to get into bad-mouthing his opponents. His answer was along the lines of " The issue isn't how much money they get for a speech...it's why anyone is paying for it."

Q: IsDate in TSQL Issue I have a bug on our app and it points that if there is a date format like this:
SELECT IsDate('4:27:01') -- ok
SELECT IsDate('25:01') ---> not ok
SELECT IsDate('23:01') ---> ok

In our data, sometimes the format only 5 characters which means it's only for minutes and seconds.
What is best way to handle this?

A: Easiest way might be to add "00:" when the length is 5 characters.
e.g. :
declare @str varchar(100)
set @str = '25:01'
-- if length is 5, interpret as  00:mi:ss
set @str = (CASE WHEN LEN(@str)=5 THEN '00:' + @str ELSE @str END)
select ISDATE(@str) -- shows 1
select cast(@str as time)  -- shows 00:25:01.000

Kjær-agent offensive: Report out on the future
Simon Kjær is moving away from Atalanta after just four months at the club. the Italians had rented him the whole season, but autumn has not developed as expe
02 January 2020 Thursday 11:00
Simon Kjær is moving away from Atalanta after just four months at the club.
the Italians had rented him the whole season, but autumn has not developed as expected for the Danish landsholdsanfører, who just have scored 382 minutes on the pitch in six games. Not since the 26. november he has been in battle.
Now confirm Kjær's agent, Mikkel Beck, opposite Ekstra Bladet, he is in the process of searching the market for a new challenge for the 30-year-old landsholdsprofil.
Kjær's agent, Mikkel Beck, is in the process of finding a new club to landsholdskaptajnen. Stay in Atalanta was far from successful. Just six matches he got for the club. Photo: Lars Poulsen.
It can be done, because Simon Kjær is not reached to play a match for Sevilla, who owns him until the summer of 2021, in this season. He was in the club in august, but was not used.
- It is true that the situation is untenable in Atalanta. Unfortunately it has not been the perfect marriage, fodboldmæssigt and tactical, as we had hoped between Simon and the coach. And so it is better that the parties be separated, says Mikkel Beck to Ekstra Bladet.
It was in many ways a short and unfulfilled stay for landsholdskaptajnen in Atalanta, and the conflict with head coach Gian Gasperini culminated in connection with the 3-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in december. Here was the dane directly opted out from the squad of cheftræneren, although he was not injured.
Gasperini explained to the astonished Italian journalists that this was about disagreements on the tactical as the reason for the departure of Simon Kjaer.
Simon Kjaer has a great success in landsholdstrøjen, where he is Åge Hareides safest card along with Kasper Schmeichel and Christian Eriksen. But now klubkarrieren back on track with a move here in January. Agent Mikkel Beck confirms that there is great interest for him. Photo: Lars Poulsen.
With a past in both Palermo and Roma Simon Kjaer is still a hot name in Italian football. There is at least interest for him from several of the clubs.
Both Inter and Milan have previously been on the pitch, just like Torino, Sampdoria and Cagliari are currently showing interest in the 30-year-old Danish landsholdskaptajn.
– Everything looks thankfully to Simon here in January may be allowed to leave Atalanta. So I'm working on finding the perfect solution for Simon, and we hope soon to report anything out.
– It is true that there is extremely great interest for Simon, as has been his whole career, so we are very positive. A player with Simons CV, strength and qualities as a leader are sought after in many places.
- I can't comment on specific klubnavne, but there is interest from good clubs from the major leagues, says Mikkel Beck.
Simon thorup Kjær has played in Fenerbahce, who in turn shows interest in him. But it seems more like a dream, because the club has difficulty lifting lønkravet 30 million. kr. net. Photo: Lars Poulsen.
In the Turkish media is Simon Kjaer has been linked with a move back to Fenerbahce, but it seems totally unrealistic, because the Turkish team at the present time can not promise Kjær's salary.
the Dane will net 30 million. kr. on the year and is under contract at Sevilla until the summer of 2021.
A prospective employer must either buy the dane free of the agreement with the Seville, or rent him by the Spanish topklub.

Oconee County Observations
News and comments about developments in Oconee County, Georgia
Oconee County Commissioners Made Appointments Inconsistent With Governing Agreements
Davis Led, Board Followed
When the Oconee County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 12 followed Chairman Melvin Davis' lead and made appointments to four regional boards, it both replaced people and reappointed people whose terms had not yet expired.
And while Davis said the appointments were required based on intergovernmental and related agreements, he and the commissioners actually went counter to those agreements in making some of the appointments, an examination of those agreements and other documents shows.
Davis and the Board also missed the opportunity to put citizens in important positions on two of those boards as allowed explicitly by the agreements Davis referred to.
By lumping the appointments together, Davis and the commissioners provided a cover for the only real change of significance.
Former Commissioner Chuck Horton, who unsuccessfully challenged Davis in the July 2012 Republican primary, was removed from two boards on which he could have continued to serve as a citizen. In neither case is it clear his term had expired.
Memo of Jan. 28
Davis sent an email message to the other four commissioners on Jan. 28 indicating his intent to replace Horton.
He proposed a slate of appointments for the Hard Labor Creek Regional Reservoir Management Board, the Georgia Bioscience Joint Development Authority, the Upper Oconee Basin Water Authority, and the Northeast Georgia Solid Waste Management Authority.
Horton was serving as a sitting member of the Hard Labor Creek Management Board and was chair of the Bioscience Authority.
The BOC approved Davis' slate unanimously at its meeting on Feb. 12.
Terms Not On Web Site
The Oconee County web site page listing Citizen Advisory Boards and Committees as late as last Wednesday morning did not list terms of appointment for any of these boards, though other committees on that page showed members and terms.
The web site did not list the Solid Waste Management Board at all.
Oconee County Clerk Jane Greathouse on Wednesday provided me her listing of terms of appointment prior to the BOC action of Feb. 12 for the Hard Labor Creek Management Board, the Bioscience Authority and the Upper Oconee Basin Water Authority.
It showed that the terms for all three of the Oconee County representatives to the Hard Labor Creek Management Board had expired on in November of 2011, as had the terms of the three alternates.
Greathouse's list showed that the term for J.R.Whitfield, former president of the Chamber of Commerce, and for Horton on the Bioscience Authority had expired in May of 2012, and that the term of Oconee County Development Director Rusty Haygood did not expire until May of 2014.
According to the list Greathouse gave me, the terms of the county's two representatives on the Upper Oconee Basin Water Authority do not expire.
Greathouse had no listing for the Solid Waste Management Board.
Davis And Board Appointments
Davis had proposed that newly elected BOC member Mark Saxon replace Horton on the Hard Labor Creek Management Board, though his recommendation was that Saxon first serve as an alternate for six months before becoming a voting member.
Chris Thomas, Utility Department director and a current alternate, is to serve as the voting delegate.
Davis proposed that Public Works Director Emil Beshara and Strategic and Long-Range Planning Director Wayne Provost fill alternate spots.
One of those alternate spots became vacant when citizen Hank Huckaby stepped off the Board in July of 2011. Huckaby had just been named chancellor of the University System of Georgia.
Horton, who had been serving as an alternate to Huckaby, was appointed by the BOC on Oct. 11, 2011, to replace Huckaby, but the commissioners did not name an alternate to Horton.
The other alternate position came vacant in December of last year when Alan Theriault retired as county administrative officer.
Davis proposed in his Jan. 28 email that Commissioner Jim Luke and current County Administrative Officer Jeff Benko remain on the Hard Labor Creek Board as voting members. Davis proposed that the terms of all three members and their alternates expire on Dec. 31, 2014.
Davis said that Commissioner Margaret Hale should replace Horton on the Bioscience Authority and that Economic Development Director Rusty Haygood and Oconee County Chamber of Commerce President Tom Odom should be the county's other two members.
Davis proposed that Saxon also serve as his alternate on the Upper Oconee Basin Water Authority, replacing Luke, and that Beshara continue as the alternate to Thomas on that board.
Davis proposed that Commissioner John Daniell continue to serve as a member of the Northeast Georgia Solid Waste Management Authority, and that Amy Morrison from the Public Works Department also serve on that Authority.
Hard Labor Creek Board
The Hard Labor Creek Management Board is the product of the intergovernmental agreement between Oconee and Walton counties governing the reservoir under construction in southeastern Walton County on a tributary to the Apalachee River.
It specifies that the Oconee County has three voting representatives on the Management Board and Walton County has four.
Each of the Oconee County members is to be appointed by the Board of Commissioners for a two-year term.
The first members were appointed in October of 2007. Greathouse's list shows terms expiring on October of 2011. Members should have been reappointed until November of 2013, though there is no record that was done.
Regardless, there is no basis for Davis' proposal that the terms of all three members and their alternates expire on Dec. 31, 2014.
Horton, as a citizen, could have continued to serve out his term, which would seem to have expired in November of this year. Horton told me he had expressed to Luke and Benko his interest in doing that.
Bioscience Authority Background
The Oconee County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution on Feb. 24, 2004, joining with Gwinett, Barrow and Clarke counties to form the Georgia Bioscience Joint Development Authority. Authority Attorney John Stell provided me a copy of that document on Thursday.
The Authority was created to develop the SR 316 corridor.
At its April 6, 2004, meeting, according to county minutes, the BOC appointed then Commissioner Don Norris for a four-year term, Amry Harden, then chairman of the Oconee County Industrial Development Authority, for a three-year term, and Russell Lee, past president of the Oconee County Chamber of Commerce, for a two-year term.
The records of appointments over the years are not clear, but Tommy Jennings, president of the Barrow County Chamber of Commerce and former secretary of the Authority, told me via an email message on Friday that, according to his records, Haygood's appointment was to run through 2014, Horton's through 2015, and Whitfield's through 2016.
According to Greathouse's records, all appointments to the Bioscience Authority expire in May, consistent with the original appointments in April of 2004.
Horton's Term Ended In 2015 Or 2016
So Davis' and the BOC's appointment of Haygood to a term ending on Dec. 31, 2015, is at odds with that schedule, and Haygood's term had not expired, according to both Jennings and Greathouse.
Horton's term would have to end either in 2015 or 2016. And Whitfield's term would have ended in one or the other of those years as well.
One of the three members from each of the four counties is to be the chairman of the BOC or the chairman's designee, according to the resolution attorney Stell provided me. The other two members may be any "taxpayer residing within the county who is not a member of the Board of Commissioners."
Norris was Davis' designee in 2004, according to the BOC minutes. His term expired in 2008. If Horton was holding that position, his term would not have expired until 2016.
The July 6, 2010, minutes of the BOC indicate that Haygood was appointed for a four-year term on that date, meaning he was the replacement for Russell Lee from the Chamber of Commerce.
Horton, it seems, was not a replacement for Norris but rather for Oconee State Bank President Amry Harden, and Horton's term indeed would have expired in 2015, as Jennings indicated.
Horton Elected Chair
Jennings confirmed that his notes indicate that Horton moved from vice-chair to chair of Bioscience Authority's Board of Directors in June of 2012.
According to Jennings, the meetings for the Authority are designated to be held at 3 p.m. on the second Wednesday of March, June, September, and December at the Winder Community Center.
Davis designated Commissioner Hale as his member of the Authority Board of Directors.
Hale works full-time as an administrative specialist in the University or Georgia Libraries and often has difficulty attending day-time meetings because of that work.
Horton told me he informed Administrative Officer Benko that he wished to remain on the Authority Board so he could serve out his term as chair.
Upper Oconee Authority
Clerk Greathouse's list, consistent with the county web page, indicates that Oconee County members of the Upper Oconee Basin Water Authority serve for no specified terms.
The chairman serves on that Authority by virtue of his office, but the second member, according to the authority web site, is appointed "from the county." Utility Director Thomas is that member for Oconee County.
The only change that Davis proposed–and the BOC accepted–was to replace Commissioner Luke with newly elected Commissioner Saxon as Davis' alternate.
Solid Waste Authority
Commissioner Daniell told me he has served on the Solid Waste Management Authority since he defeated Commissioner Don Norris in 2008.
Morrison from the Public Works Department was appointed to that Authority on April 6, 2010, according to the minutes of that meeting. Her term was to expire on Dec. 31, 2013.
Davis had left Morrison off his Jan. 28 email to the other commissioners, but he included her in his recitation of appointments on Feb. 12.
According to the county web site, her term has been extended to Dec. 31, 2016. That is the date of the term for Daniell as well.
Davis Seeking More Power
At last week's meeting of the Hard Labor Creek Management Board, attorney Chris Atkinson indicated that he had received a proposal from Chairman Davis that would give Davis control of one of the three Oconee County appointments to the Management Board.
Davis asked specifically that the one of the three members on the Management Board from Oconee County "shall be the Chairman of the Oconee County Board of Commissioners or his/her Commissioner designee."
The Management Board did not approve the proposal offered by Davis, but the proposal could come up at a BOC meeting. The agendas for the meeting on Tuesday and the following Tuesday indicate that the qualifications of HLC Management Board members will be discussed.
The BOC has ultimate say on the matter, as the county will have to change the intergovernmental agreement with Walton County to meet Davis' request.

I don't want to just prepend the category name, as that was include the "s" and I don't want it done for anything other than these two categories.

Ever write a long post and then publish it, only to realize later that you failed to include a <!–more–> tag, and you aren't using an excerpt? The result could be that your entire post ends up on the front page, not just the first paragraph or a summary.

Scott has a mixed media collage from 2014 called The Real Me, and the title playfully announces that he is on the lookout for aspects of himself in his various kinds of work. "I think I've stopped trying to get away from self-portraiture and have decided to just embrace the fact that there's a little bit of myself, figuratively, in everything." His work in all mediums embodies an indirect form of critical confession, the sort of self-psychologizing that characterizes the writing of Chris Kraus and Kathy Acker. He has consistently mixed his self-awareness with a healthy degree of critical self-reflection.

Having first met in 2007, Hicks and Goulbourn are now an established act on the folk and acoustic music scene in the UK. If you've been to one of their gigs you will have been struck by their easy manner on stage, an amazing array of genres, Lynn's pure vocals and of course Steve's breathtaking guitar playing, but how did they arrive at this point?
Steve is drawn to instrumental music and, as he calls, it 'strangely beautiful, weird and difficult stuff'. In a recent interview somebody asked him who his favourite or most influential artists were and the list included Moondog, Dusan Bogdanovic, Eric Dolphy, Kronos Quartet, Harry Partch and Alan Hovhaness.
In contrast, Lynn was drawn at an early age to the smooth harmonies of Crosby Stills and Nash and The Beach Boys and the melodic tones of James Taylor and Joni Mitchell, the sound of Motown, Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross. Later influences included Steeleye Span, June Tabor, Annie Lennox and Indigo Girls.
Whilst Lynn has had no formal training, singing has been a passion throughout her life and more recently she has enjoyed attending vocal and challenging harmony workshops in Cumbria and Shropshire, led and inspired by Maddy Prior and Abbie Lathe.
Steve was 13 when he started playing guitar. Motivated by his dad's promise of a decent guitar, Steve agreed to take lessons. Early tuition was in the classical genre and then later, he studied fingerstyle jazz guitar with Duck Baker. Nowadays you could expect to hear Steve, seemingly effortlessly, play classic ragtime, swing jazz, blues, Celtic, early and modern classical pieces … all with an ease that will leave you spellbound!
To date Steve has played guitar in a number of musical environments including folk groups, guitar duos, and ceilidh bands. He has given guitar playing workshops and masterclasses at venues including the Stamford International Guitar Festival and the Old Town School of Folk Music, Chicago. As a solo artist Steve records for Acoustic Music Records. He is also a qualified luthier specialising in early and modern fretted instruments. Hicks and Goulbourn perform and record with guitars built by Steve.
The music that Steve and Lynn make as the duo 'Hicks and Goulbourn' is characterised by pure acoustic tones, reflective lyrics, well crafted arrangements and intricate, complex guitar work. Whilst the genres in their typical sets are wide ranging there is no compromise in quality and their live performances are interspersed with engaging anecdotes and humour.

Kim Kardashian breaks her silence on Tristan Thompson cheating scandal
By Erin Van Der Meer
"It's so f***ed up"
Kim Kardashian has spoken publicly about the cheating scandal that surrounded Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson days before she gave birth to their child.
In a preview of an interview with Ellen DeGeneres set to air next week, Kim appeared to confirm Tristan had indeed cheated on Khloe.
"Like I don't even know how to describe it besides it's just so f***ed up," she said.
"We really were rooting for Khloe, and we still are…you know, she's so strong and she's doing the best that she can. It's a really sad situation all over."
Kim declined to say anything further about the situation for the sake of baby True.
"Because one day True's gonna see this and you know…it's so messed up."
The full interview airs on Monday in the US.
Khloe is undoubtedly grateful for the support from her sisters as she copes with the reality Thompson has been unfaithful with at least several different women, all the while being a mum to a newborn baby.
Last week in a post on her website, she gushed:
"My sisters are all such phenomenal mums!
"I can't say exactly what advice or skills I'll be taking from them, but I'm going to remain awe-inspired by how they can handle it all. I hope that comes easily for me.
"Even though I'm not big on taking advice—I don't believe there's only one-way-or-the-highway and we all have to adapt into our own routines—it's so comforting to know that I have sisters whom I can ask about anything that may come up," she continued. "Just by observing them as mums, I've already learned so much."

To become a California military or overseas voter, complete the online voter registration application. You can choose to have your ballot and voter's declaration (included in the Military or Overseas Voter Return Envelope) faxed or emailed to you, instead of having it delivered by mail. Simply indicate your preference in the space provided on the online form.
If you cannot or do not wish to register online, you may complete the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA). Members of the military can obtain an FPCA from their installation's Voting Assistance Officer. Civilian overseas voters can obtain an FPCA at any U.S. embassy or consulate. The FPCA, as well as mailing information and answers to frequently asked questions, is available on the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) website. You may return your completed FPCA by mail or fax to the county elections official of the county where you lived just prior to your departure. The FPCA is postage-paid in the U.S. mail, including the Military Postal System and State Department Pouch mail.
A list of California's 58 county elections offices and their contact information is available at the SOS Military and Overseas Voters Information web page.
1. Mail or fax your voted ballot and signed Military or Overseas Voter Return Envelope to your county elections official.
You can return your voted ballot and signed Military or Overseas Voter Return Envelope by mail or fax (under certain circumstances).
If mailing: Your voted ballot and signed return envelope must be postmarked on or before Election Day and received by your county elections office no later than 3 days after Election Day.
If faxing: You may return your ballot by fax if you are a military or overseas voter living outside the territorial limits of the United States or the District of Columbia, or you are a member of the military called for military service within the United States seven or less days before Election Day. It must be received by your county elections office by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. If you decide to fax your voted ballot and signed Military or Overseas Voter Return Envelope, you must also fax an "Oath of Voter" form to waive your right to a confidential vote. This oath is in addition to the voter's declaration that is on the Military or Overseas Voter Return Envelope. Please use the oath form your county provides to you; however, many counties also accept the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) Alternative Form (PDF). Please check with your county before using FVAP's Alternative Form.
After you have faxed your voted ballot, signed return envelope, and oath, you are encouraged to also return your voted ballot and signed return envelope by mail or in person, if possible.
2. Vote by mail in future elections.
Under California law, military or overseas voters who complete the online voter registration application or submit an FPCA will automatically be registered as permanent vote-by-mail voters. As a permanent vote-by-mail voter, you will automatically receive a vote-by-mail ballot in all future elections. However, if you do not vote in four consecutive general elections, you will lose your permanent vote-by-mail voter status and you will have to submit a new FPCA.
Election materials (including your ballot, Military or Overseas Voter Return Envelope, and county Voter Information Guide) cannot be forwarded to an address that is different from the one you listed online or on your FPCA. By promptly re-registering online or submitting a new FPCA to your county elections official when you change your mailing address, you will ensure that you receive your ballot and return envelope in a timely manner.

A lot of women color their hair - I mean, really a lot, over 75% of Americans, for example! In the past year, foam hair color has become one of the fastest growing beauty trends; several hair color brands have jumped about the foam bandwagon, including Clairol with its Nice and Easy Color Blend Foam Hair Color, John Frieda with its Precision Foam Colour, and Samy with Fat Foam Hair Color.
These companies boast that foam coloring is easy, claiming a no-drip application, a smooth, even coverage and no mess. Let's see if the reality of foam hair colors stands up to these claims.
Unlike the ads on TV and in magazines, foam hair color doesn't come in pretty white foam. It is not rich, thick or luxurious. In many ways, it's not that different from the standard hair colors women have been using, especially true if you don't shake the foam up correctly. Too much shaking causes it to break down into a messy liquid, while not enough shaking can result in uneven color.
The color of the foam also depends on the hair color itself. Since my hair is reddish blonde and I use a red shade to cover my gray, I get a reddish brown foam color. It isn't at all pretty and the foam will stain just like any other hair color. A few people have reported color staining even after it is supposedly set in. However, such claims are few and far between.
Because color foam is slightly thicker, you can be fooled into thinking you've covered all of your hair strands when you might not have. I found it much more difficult to determine coverage than with liquid or gel color. Consequently I missed a few strands, leaving me unhappy with the results.
With foam hair color, it is also important to leave it on for the full amount of time recommended if you are trying to cover gray. Leave it on 5 minutes less and you might not see complete coverage.
Let's begin with color selection. Most foams are restricted to common colors; Clairol, for example, offers the following shades blonde shades: light blonde, medium golden blonde, medium champagne blonde, medium ash blonde, medium blonde and dark blonde. Browns include lightest golden brown, light golden brown, light ash brown, light brown, medium golden brown, medium ash brown, medium brown and dark brown. Clairol also offer black, light auburn, medium reddish brown and dark reddish brown.
John Frieda only offers 20 shades. There are 7 blonde colors, including extra light natural blonde, extra light beige blonde, light natural blonde, light ash blonde, medium natural blonde, medium ash blonde and dark golden blonde. There are 8 brown shades in light natural brown, light golden brown, medium natural brown, medium chocolate brown, medium golden brown, dark natural brown, dark chocolate brown and deep brown-black. Finally, there are 4 red shades in light red brown, medium red brown, dark red brown and deep cherry brown.
Samy Fat Foam has the least number of colors at 18. There are 7 shades of blonde including light ash blonde, medium ash blonde, dark ash blonde, light blonde, medium blonde, dark blonde and medium golden blonde. There are 7 shades of brown in light golden brown, light brown, light ash brown, medium ash brown, medium golden brown, medium brown and dark brown. There are 3 red shades, medium reddish brown, deep cherry brown and intensive red. The last color is black.
Because the colors are limited, it is difficult for some women to get the color nuances they have been getting from other hair colors. For those women, foam hair color may be too restrictive.
When it comes to length of coverage, foam hair color matches or exceeds any standard hair color as long as you follow the instructions accurately. Using color protection shampoo and conditioner will also help to extend the color, which is of a "permanent" variety. It fades but doesn't lose all of the color.
The cost of foam hair color is slightly inflated in some cases, depending upon where it is purchased. Clairol's Nice and Easy Color Blend Foam and Samy's Fat Foam retail between $7.99 and $11.99. John Frieda Precision Foam usually begins around $11.99 and goes up to as high as $14.99. In comparison, standard hair colors begin at $3.99 and average around $6.99.
The short answer is that yes, foam hair colors work; but they don't work any better than the hair colors women have been working with for decades, so why spend a few dollars more if you don't have to?
The foam works really well. Spray it on and let it set, very good.

Bryan Cranston to make TV return as President Lyndon Johnson in HBO Broadway adaptation
The Breaking Bad actor will reprise his Broadway role for the new TV film

Bryan Cranston plays Lyndon B Johnson in Broadway play 'All the Way'
Bryan Cranston is returning to television following the phenomenal success of Breaking Bad.
The Emmy Award-winning actor is to play former US President Lyndon B Johnson in an HBO adaption of the Broadway play All the Way, which he starred in this year.
All the Way follows LBJ during his tumultuous first year in office as he takes the oath following President Kennedy's assassination, copes with the escalation of the Vietnam War and launches his landmark civil rights bill.
Cranston, who made his Broadway debut in the play, went on to win the Tony Award for his portrayal of the democratic President.
The play closed last month on 29 June after breaking Broadway box office records to gross over $1.4 million in its opening week.
Playwright Robert Schenkkan will adapt the stage version for the small screen, with Steven Spilegberg on board to serve as an executive producer on the HBO Films project.
But like last year's acclaimed HBO TV film Behind the Candelabra, All the Way will not be eligible for an Oscar.
Bryan Cranston with the Best Drama Emmy for 'Breaking Bad'
Not that that is likely to put an end to Cranston's recent run of award wins, having picked up three Emmys, a Golden Globe, a Tony Award and three Screen Actors Guild Awards in the past year.
The actor is rumoured to re-appear in AMC's Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul next year after series executive producer hinted he would bring back characters from the hit series.

Earliest this year, Cranston said he would "never say never" to the idea of a Breaking Bad film.
The actor most recently starred in summer blockbuster Godzilla as nuclear physicist Joe Brody.

Bryan Cranston to make TV return as President Lyndon Johnson in HBO


Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. I am all about staying cool in this summer heat and looking for new ways to do it. No one wants to spend any more time in the hot kitchen this time of year. Today, I have a super easy and crazy healthy 5 minute Cucumber Pineapple Gazpacho soup to share.
I had some girl friends over for a lunch date last week and they could not get enough of this Cucumber Pineapple Gazpacho Soup. Seriously, they almost ate it all before I even had the chance to photo it. Ha ha.
So what makes this cold Cucumber Pineapple Gazpacho Soup so good? First of all, it literally takes 5 minutes to make. All the ingredients go right into a blender and after a minute, it's ready to enjoy. Secondly, it's full of fresh healthy ingredients. Cucumber, pineapple, jalapeno and yellow tomato that's it!
It's cool, refreshing and practically calorie free. This Cucumber Pineapple Gazpacho Soup is a must make lunch this week. Also a great post workout hydrating snack. Cucumbers and pineapples are chock full of water and vitamins to rehydrate you.
Customize the cucumber pineapple gazpacho soup by adding more or less jalapeno peppers depending on how spicy you like your food. The sweetness of the pineapple pairs so well with the spiciness of the jalapenos. Hope you and your friends enjoy this Cucumber Pineapple Gazpacho Soup as much as my friends and I did.
When is the last time you had Gazpacho Soup? Any fun variations you'd like to share with me?
So perfect for summer and so delicious! I would have never thought to pair yellow tomato with pineapple and cucumber but it sounds so refreshing.

Pope to diplomats: when it comes to politics, peace must be more than a theory
Pope Francis speaks to the Diplomatic Corps Accredited to the Holy See Jan. 11
Vatican City, Jan 9, 2017 / 04:29 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Following a year marred by war and terrorism, Pope Francis told diplomats Monday that for 2017, peace has to be more than just an idea or a nice theory, but must be actively pursued with concrete policies aimed at promoting the common good and the dignity of the human person.
"Peace is a positive good...it is more than the absence of war. Nor can it be reduced to the maintenance of a balance of power between opposing forces," the Pope said Jan. 9. Instead, peace "demands the commitment of those persons of good will who thirst for an ever more perfect reign of justice." While some nations seem to take for granted long periods of peace enjoyed since the close of the First World War, for millions of others peace "remains merely a distant dream."
"Millions of people still live in the midst of senseless conflicts," he said, noting that we are frequently bombarded "by images of death, by the pain of innocent men, women and children," as well as by the grief of those who have lost loved ones due to violence and the "drama" of forced migration. In the current global climate of fear, apprehension, uncertainty and anxiety for both the present and future, "a word of hope" is needed, he said, which is capable of indicating a path on which to move forward.
Pope Francis spoke to the Diplomatic Corps Accredited to the Holy See as part of his traditional exchange of New Year's greetings with the diplomats. There are currently 182 ambassadors of other countries to the Holy See, 88 of whom reside in Rome.
For the Pope, part of the peace-building process means eradicating the causes of violence and injustice, one of which is the "deplorable arms trade and the never-ending race to create and spread ever more sophisticated weaponry," which he has frequently condemned.
In his speech, Francis said that one "particularly disturbing" example of negative effects of the arms trade "are the experiments being conducted on the Korean Peninsula." The nuclear tests that are continually being conducted there "destabilize the entire region and raise troubling questions for the entire international community about the risk of a new nuclear arms race," he said.
Quoting St. John XXIII, the Pope stressed that "justice, right reason and the recognition of human dignity cry out insistently for a cessation to the arms race." "The stockpiles of armaments which have been built up in various countries must be reduced all round by the parties concerned. Nuclear weapons must be banned," he said, adding that the Holy See seeks to promote "an ethics of peace and security that goes beyond that fear and closure which condition the debate on nuclear weapons."
Francis also threw in what seemed to be a plug for tighter gun control. Turning to the sale of conventional weapons, he said that easy access to arms, "including those of small caliber," not only "aggravates various conflicts, but also generates a widespread sense of insecurity and fear." "This is all the more dangerous in times, like our own, of social uncertainty and epochal changes," he said.
On the topic of different forms of fundamentalism that have gripped the global scene over the past year, the Pope said that when it comes to religion, "every expression of religion is called to promote peace." "There has been no shortage of acts of religiously motivated violence, beginning with Europe itself, where the historical divisions between Christians have endured all too long," he said, noting that healing the wounds of the past means above all "journeying together toward common goals" on a path of genuine dialogue.
However, he noted that "sadly" religion has been used as "a pretext for rejection, marginalization and violence." Over the past year, fundamentalist terrorism "has also reaped numerous victims throughout the world," he said, pointing to Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Belgium, Burkina Faso, Egypt, France, Germany, Jordan, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, the United States of America, Tunisia and Turkey as just a few examples.
"We are dealing with a homicidal madness which misuses God's name in order to disseminate death, in a play for domination and power," the Pope said, renewing his appeal for all religious authorities "to join in reaffirming unequivocally that one can never kill in God's name." "Fundamentalist terrorism is the fruit of a profound spiritual poverty, and often is linked to significant social poverty," he said, noting that the only way for it to be fully defeated is with "the joint contribution of religious and political leaders."
Pope Francis insisted that political authorities ought to focus not just on the security of their own citizens, "a concept which could easily be reduced to a mere 'quiet life,'" but are also concerned with working "actively" for the growth of peace on a global level. Peace, he said, "is an active virtue, one that calls for the engagement and cooperation of each individual and society as a whole."
Turning to the Jubilee of Mercy, Francis said part of building "a culture of mercy" means eliminating indifference and striving to become societies that "are open and welcoming toward foreigners and at the same time internally secure and at peace." "This is all the more needed at the present time, when massive waves of migration continue in various parts of the world," he said, calling for a "common commitment" to offering migrants and displaced persons "a dignified welcome."
On the topic of migrants, the Pope stressed that respect must be given both right of every person to migrate while at the same time ensuring that incoming foreigners are fully integrated into their new society without feeling "their security, cultural identity and political-social stability are threatened."
However, he also said incoming migrants must "not forget that they have a duty to respect the laws, culture and traditions of the countries in which they are received." For public authorities to have prudence "does not mean enacting policies of exclusion vis-à-vis migrants," but rather entails "evaluating, with wisdom and foresight, the extent to which their country is in a position, without prejudice to the common good of citizens, to offer a decent life to migrants, especially those truly in need of protection," he said. The issue of migration isn't one that just some countries have to face while others are indifferent, he said, stressing that "all should feel responsible" for pursuing international policies aimed at promoting solidarity and the common good.
Pope Francis then voiced his thanks to the countries who have taken on the bulk of the burden of the migration crisis, naming Italy, Germany, Greece and Sweden in particular. He called for a quick and peaceful resolution to the "brutal conflict" in Syria, asking the international community "to make every effort to encourage serious negotiations for an end to the conflict, which is causing a genuine human catastrophe." "Each of the parties must give priority to international humanitarian law, and guarantee the protection of civilians and needed humanitarian aid for the populace," he said, voicing his hope that the recently-signed truce "will be a sign of hope for the whole Syrian people, so greatly in need of it."
The Pope also urged swift resolutions to the conflicts in Ukraine, Iran and Yemen, and renewed his appeal for Israel and Palestine to resume dialogue aimed at "a stable and enduring solution that guarantees the peaceful coexistence of two states within internationally recognized borders." "No conflict can become a habit impossible to break. Israelis and Palestinians need peace. The whole Middle East urgently needs peace!"
Francis closed his speech saying peace is "a gift, a challenge and a commitment." True peace, he said, "can only come about on the basis of a vision of human beings capable of promoting an integral development respectful of their transcendent dignity." "This, then, is my prayerful hope for the year just begun: that our countries and their peoples may find increased opportunities to work together in building true peace."
He reaffirmed the commitment on the part of the Holy See and the Secretariat of State, saying they will "always be ready to cooperate with those committed to ending current conflicts and to offer support and hope to all who suffer."

U.S. Supreme Court Denies Freedom of Speech by Refusing to Hear Choose Life Illinois Appeal
News, Statements
The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal in Choose Life Illinois v. White, upholding a Seventh Circuit ruling that the Illinois system for approving specialty plates was not discriminatory.
The case was filed in 2004 after citizens had collected more than the requisite number of signatures, but were denied a "Choose Life" license plate.
Dr. Charmaine Yoest, President and CEO of Americans United for Life, observed, "Ever-increasing numbers of pro-life Americans want to proudly display the "˜Choose Life' message on their vehicles "" as evidenced by the fact that 22 states now offer such plates. Illinois is unfairly censoring the freedom of speech of its citizens by not allowing them to obtain a plate with a life-affirming message."
Mailee Smith, AUL Staff Counsel, noted, "Pro-life citizens in Illinois followed the rules in applying for a 'Choose Life' license plate, but were prohibited from obtaining the plate because the Illinois Secretary of State did not like its pro-life message. As the last defense for constitutional rights, the U.S. Supreme Court should have stepped in to correct the State's clearly unconstitutional action."
As in other states, the proceeds from the proposed "Choose Life" license plates would have gone to organizations such as pregnancy care centers that provide adoption counseling and referrals.
Americans United for Life filed an amicus brief in the Seventh Circuit on behalf of a large coalition of Illinois pregnancy care centers. That brief is available at http://www.aul.org/xm_client/client_documents/briefs/ChooseLifeILvWhite.pdf. However, that court refused to accept amicus briefs filed by pro-life organizations.

Jonatan Germano
Germano deploys toughness in defence and poise going forward. Such versatility makes him a crucial member of the Melbourne City team. In November 2011 Germano infamously stole the football headlines with a mischievous antic after scoring against Brisbane Roar. As a salute to the festive season he pulled a Santa hat from his shorts as part of his celebration, endearing him to the Club's faithful and beyond.
Germano is no stranger to playing football abroad after stints in Croatia and Paraguay, but he has settled well into his adopted hometown of Melbourne. Jonatan and his partner have a young son and he says the city is "a paradise for my family life", citing the low crime rate and the relaxed lifestyle as particularly important.
In July 2011, Germano traveled to Australia for a one-month trial with A-League club Melbourne City, where he 'surprised' the team with his talent. He played in two trials for the club, playing a full 90 minutes in both games.
At the end of July, he returned to his homeland after impressing coaches John van't Schip, Ante Milicic and John Aloisi. On 5 September 2011 he officially signed with Melbourne City and given the number 13 shirt.
