Glimpses of South Pasadena: South Pasadena Family Tree

Ever wonder about the history of the majestic Moreton Bay fig tree outside the South Pasadena Public Library? It certainly seems primordial -- like a remnant of our earth's distant past. Little Bit once said that she thought the tree surely must have been around when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Even though I could imagine generations of pterodactyls making nests in that beautiful tree, I knew it wasn't that ancient. But I was genuinely surprised when it was revealed last year that the tree is barely 100 years old.

For years, nobody knew the story behind the beloved tree. I've heard all kinds of rumors, though. One guy told me it had been a sacred worship spot for the Gabriolino/Tongva tribes. I always liked that idea, and could imagine remnants of pottery resting just underneath those gnarled roots.

But that guy was wrong.

I also heard that it was the tree chosen to gather and declare the incorporation of South Pasadena as an independent city. I liked that story, too. Can't you just see a bunch of Victorians celebrating their new town at the dawn of the 20th Century beneath those branches?

Nope. That story is completely wrong, too.

As it turns out, lifetime South Pasadena resident Bill Kloezeman cleared up the mystery last year. The tree was planted in 1930 by Bill's father Willem Garret Andries Kloezeman (also known as Bill) when South Pasadena's Carnegie Library was being moved from Diamond Street to the center of town. City Librarian Steve Fjeldsted wrote about it on the library website:
"Many years ago while driving around town, the elder Bill Kloezeman used to tell his son about all the work he?d done around town, including his planting of the Moreton Bay Fig. Another well-known project of Kloezeman was the annual placement of a lighted star on the top of the water storage tower atop Bilicke Hill in the Altos de Monterey.

At the time of the planting the Moreton Bay Fig was a young potted tree and about 6 inches in diameter. When he planted it, the senior Kloezeman was working for the City?s Street Department. Bill (Sr.) worked for the City of South Pasadena from 1926 until he retired in 1972, a remarkable stretch of more than 45 years. While working for the Street Department in the 20?s and 30?s, Kloezeman planted many other large trees in town that are still around as well. Later he also worked for the Fire Department in the 40?s and the Water Department in the 50?s, 60?s, and early 70?s, until he retired as a Water Service Foreman on January 15, 1972. Willem ?Bill? Kloezeman passed away on September 7, 1981."

It might not have a history of pterodactyls, tribal rituals or city incorporation, but who cares? At merely 100 years young, that just means our beautiful fig tree will be around even longer for us to make more memories, and maybe even come up with a few more mysterious stories about it.

Day Trading Forex Market Behaviour | YodZiaN.CoM - Finance and ...

Technology advances like the internet have spawned a new craze, where anyone with a secure internet connection prepared to undertake a small amount of training can engage in trading foreign exchange on the forex market.

Just as a day trader will closely track stock price movements on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, all over the world forex traders monitor currency fluctuations in a similar fashion.

Forex traders have the aim of using the smallest amount of one currency, say the US dollar, to purchase another currency like the British Pound. If supply of the pound lessens in a busy market, it will cost more dollars to buy pounds, and the forex trader hopes to sell their pounds at a higher than their purchase price. In many respects, this type of trading behaviour is very similar to trading in stocks, where the aim of nearly all traders is to buy low and sell high.

The trading process works under a bid/ask system. In the above example, a forex trader might bid 10 dollars in return for 5.7 British pounds, and the seller of the pounds could be asking 11 dollars for the same amount of pounds. If the seller accepts the bid, the trader then hopes the pound continues to increase in price, so that when time comes to sell, they can get in excess of the 10 dollars initially paid.

As only registered traders have access to this auction process, most online speculators will trade through a bank or broking house. Such brokerages charge a commission for facilitating the trades, and forex traders should consider these transaction costs when calculating their selling offer when time comes to exit their position, as this will influence their profit margin.

The global foreign exchange market can trade in excess of a trillion dollars a day. Sheer market size means there is considerable money to be made, and lost, through miscalculation. It is neither a guaranteed, nor easy path to riches, so traders should be educated in how to play the market. Instructional packages are available, and should be carefully reviewed as they can easily range in quality and price.

Grain elevators shut, barges halted as Isaac nears

CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. grain elevators on the Gulf coast were shut and barges carrying grain and other goods on the lower Mississippi River were halted in preparation for Tropical Storm Isaac, which was due to make landfall either late Tuesday or early Wednesday.

Archer Daniels Midland closed four elevators in New Orleans, while Cargill said elevators in Westwego and Reserve, Louisiana, will be closed.

"We have activated our hurricane readiness plan and are taking precautions to ensure the safety of our employees and their families, as well as the security of our assets in the New Orleans area," ADM spokeswoman Jackie Anderson said.

Isaac, if it stays on its current track, is due to slam into the Gulf Coast between Florida and Louisiana by Tuesday night or early Wednesday, the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.

Isaac is forecast to become a hurricane on Tuesday.

In its latest advisory, the National Hurricane Center said the storm was not expected to strengthen beyond Category 1, the weakest type on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane intensity.

MAJOR CHANNEL FOR GRAIN EXPORTS

Grain companies battened down in key locations.

The Mississippi River is a major channel for the movement of grain produced in the Midwest farm belt to export terminals at the Gulf of Mexico for shipment across the world.

"The safety of our employees is the top priority," Cargill said.

Grain movement is set to pick up in the coming weeks as farmers in the Midwest -- where 75 percent of the country's corn and soy crops are grown -- begin harvesting in earnest.

The harvest is already underway in southern areas of the United States, the world's top grain exporter, increasing supplies available for export.

Grain shipments and barge transportation on the Mississippi River were disrupted in 2005 by Katrina.

"NOTHING MOVING ON THE RIVER"

The Crescent River Port Pilots' Association, in consultation with the U.S. Coast Guard, suspended barge traffic and the movement of vessels on the river from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to the U.S. Gulf as of 9 a.m. CDT (1400 GMT) on Monday, said Capt. A.J. Gibbs, president of the association.

The suspension of barge traffic costs facilities that move cargo on the river system $300 million a day, said Gibbs, who predicted vessel movement will not return to normal before Thursday.

More than 100 vessels, many of which are bulk carriers transporting goods such as grain, are affected by the restrictions, he said.

"You'll see nothing moving on the river at all," he said. "There is a significant impact on the country, not just on the ports."

Christian Online Dating ? Articles about love relationships

27 Aug 2012

by blogolubvi in Dating Tags: dating, relationships, romance, meeting, online dating

Christian online dating is one of the safest portals of meeting other people for dating or a serious relationship. Most people consider online dating as an option in getting to know other people outside of their circle. The Christian community now utilizes the current trend of communication to widen their reach and to create a fun- loving environment.

You can search thousands of other Christian profiles and get to know each one online. There?s a vast Christian network that have varied interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes. You can check out their profiles and you may get to like one. You?ll never know. Christian online dating has proved to be very effective for most people who participate with friendships often blooming to serious relationships.

Christian online dating provides a very comfortable environment and is considered safe. The online dating community is a place where you can create lasting relationships for acquaintance, friendship, companionship, romance, and can even lead to a permanent commitment.

A Christian online dating website would include chat rooms where you can have fun discussions. Post memos and notes in message boards. Share pictures with photo galleries. And of course, send personal messages to private mail boxes. They also feature instant messaging and voice introductions for a more personal touch. Some of the Christian websites even offer Christian dating services aside from online matching.

In a Christian online dating site, the center is spirituality. You include faith in your search for a mate. Most people go to a Christian community for dates because they prefer to have somebody within their faith. People here believe that more or less, they have filtered out the dates with people who may not share the same set of values.

Mellow people usually belong to this group of online daters. They are those who dislike too much loud music, bar hopping, and disco dancing. Most dates here end in a cozy restaurant or a sweet music place. Although this is not necessarily true all the time, it can be frequently observed on date outcomes based on testimonials.

Dating a stranger sharing your beliefs would be more reassuring than starting with somebody who does not share the same principles. If you are joining a Christian online dating site, more or less you?ll know what you can expect. And as implied, the online society is Christ-centered. And by association, Christ is all pure love and kindness. If you join the group, you are for Christian values and standards. Meeting the love of your life could be a possibility!

Diaspora Founders To Move On, Handing Over Decentralized Social Network ?To The Community?

It was a good run, but it looks like the founders of Diaspora have reached the end of the road -- at least for their full-time leadership of the project. Diaspora, the Kickstarter-backed initiative launched two years ago by a group of NYU students aiming to create a decentralized social networking alternative to Facebook, announced today that it will now be "a community project." The announcement was made in a blog post authored by Diaspora founders Maxwell Salzberg and Daniel Grippi which read in part:

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) ? Nick Watney salvaged a dismal season Sunday at The Barclays with a victory that could not have come at a better time.

Watney turned a two-shot deficit against Sergio Garcia into a three-shot lead in a decisive four-hole stretch around the turn at Bethpage Black, and no one got closer than two shots the rest of the way. Watney made a 10-foot birdie putt on the last hole for a 2-under 69 to capture the opening playoff event for the FedEx Cup.

He wound up winning by three shots over Brandt Snedeker, who birdied the last hole for a 70. Garcia made bogey on the 18th for a 75.

The win means Watney goes to No. 1 in the FedEx Cup standings and is assured a shot at the $10 million prize at the Tour Championship next month. Perhaps more importantly, it could be a big step toward an event that doesn't pay anything at all ? the Ryder Cup.

Winning against one of the strongest fields of the year at least puts him in the conversation to be one of four captain's picks for the Sept. 28-30 matches at Medinah. Davis Love III will announce his choices after next week's playoff event outside Boston.

Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk are likely to be two of those picks, and the other two are suddenly wide open.

Snedeker, already under consideration, battled to the end on a warm day on Long Island. He made a 15-foot par putt on the 17th hole and closed with a birdie to be alone in second place. Complicating matters for Love is that Dustin Johnson shot 68 and tied for third, along with Garcia.

Watney, who won for the fifth time in his career, finished on 10-under 278.

In what amounted to a duel with Garcia for so much of the day, Watney fell two shots behind after he three-putted for bogey on the fifth hole and Garcia made a 40-footer for birdie on the next hole. Garcia, going for his second straight PGA Tour win, never had much of a chance after that.

Watney two-putted for birdie on the seventh. On the par-3 eighth, Garcia scrambled for bogey from the bunker, while Watney holed a bending, 30-foot birdie putt to take his first lead of the day. Another two-shot swing followed on the 10th, when Garcia three-putted and Watney hit a beautiful approach to 4 feet for birdie.

Both were sloppy on the back nine, but Watney hit all the right shots and seized control for good with a 10-foot birdie putt on the 14th.

"I made more putts than I made all year," Watney said.

He credits that to some tips from Darrell Kestner, the respected club pro at nearby Deepdale, a lesson set up by a friend. Kestner worked on his setup, mainly keeping Watney from leaning to far back on his heels.

"It paid off," Watney said.

Tiger Woods, six shots behind at the start of the day, never made a move. He alternated between bogeys and birdies until the sixth hole, and his round imploded on the back nine with a three-putt double bogey on the 12th, a poor wedge that led to bogey on the par-5 13th, and a tee shot on the par-3 14th that sailed over the green and one-hopped against the gallery. He closed with a 76 and tied for 38th.

Woods left without speaking to CBS Sports or any other media. It was this third 72-hole tournament over par this year, the other two coming at majors.

Bethpage Black didn't feel like one on Sunday.

After a third round in which several players felt the greens were close to dead and nearly impossible to putt, there was plenty of water on them overnight. High scores were more a product of bad play, and it was difficult for anyone to make up too much ground because conditions were comparable throughout the day.

And while it was effectively a two-man race for much of the day, there was plenty at stake in the FedEx Cup.

Only the top 100 players advance to the Deutsche Bank Championship for the second of four playoff events. The biggest move belonged to Graham DeLaet of Canada, who started the week at No. 106 and was right on the bubble going into the final round.

It turned out way better than DeLaet could have imagined. Despite back-to-back bogeys on the front nine, he answered with four birdies on his next seven holes, and then holed out with on the 15th for eagle with a 9-iron from 161 yards. He closed with two birdies for a Sunday-best 65.

Not only did he advance, DeLaet moved up 62 spots to No. 44 and should be safe for the next two tournaments.

"I guess a lot of people think there's too much volatility in it, but it was in my favor," DeLaet said. "If you can have one really good event, you can catapult yourself up. And now I feel I have a chance to get into the Tour Championship, where this morning I was just hoping to play next week."

It was a good day for another Canadian ? David Hearn. Playing with Woods, he closed with a 71 and moved from No. 108 to No. 67. The other four from outside the top 100 who moved in were Jonas Blixt, Tommy Gainey and Jason Day, who closed with a 66.

The odd man out was John Mallinger, who started the week at No. 88 and missed the cut. He became the highest-seeded player to fail to advance since this FedEx Cup playoff system began in 2007.

Akin Senate bid tests GOP strength in Missouri

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) ? A "bellwether," quite literally, is a male sheep wearing a bell that leads the flock ? or at least allows a farmer to find his sheep, because the clanging ram is never too far from the rest of the group.

For most of a century, Missouri has been the nation's bellwether. Every four years, a majority of voters in the state in the center of the country ? a near perfect mirror of its demographics, geography, economics and politics ? predictably cast their ballots for the candidates the nation as a whole chooses to win the White House.

That changed in 2008, when Missouri voters went for Republican John McCain by a razor thin margin over Democrat Barack Obama. It was just the second time in a century that Missouri didn't side with the winning presidential candidate.

Should Republican Rep. Todd Akin ? who offended millions of Americans with insensitive remarks about rape and pregnancy ? rebound this November to defeat Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, Missouri will probably need to turn in its bell for good.

Obama has more or less conceded the state to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Should Akin manage to beat McCaskill without the support of Romney or other top Republicans, including all five living current or former GOP senators from the state, voters will solidify that an already red-leaning Missouri has truly become a rock-ribbed Republican stronghold.

"There is too much at stake here in this election," Akin implored in an online fundraising plea sent heading into the weekend. "Today, let's show Claire once and for all that Missouri is going Republican Red this November."

To be sure, Missouri has been trending Republican for several years. The state Legislature, which swung to the GOP a decade ago, now has one of its largest Republican majorities in state history. And in 2010, Missourians ousted Democratic Rep. Ike Skelton from a seat he held for 34 years in favor of a Republican who had been the spokeswoman for a successful ballot campaign to engrave a gay-marriage ban in the state constitution.

Obama has made no campaign appearances and run no TV ads in the state. Yet political scientists have been reluctant to lump Missouri in the same reliably Republican category as neighboring Kansas or many of its new peers in the Southeastern Conference, where the University of Missouri now plays its sports.

"It's pretty obvious that it's trended a little bit red," said Dave Robertson, a political science professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. "An Akin victory in November would be a very, very strong indicator that this state is comfortably red."

Missouri has a long history of divided loyalties ? its residents fought for both the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War. That division has historically made Missouri a microcosm of the nation.

Geographically, Missouri has large cities on its east and west "coasts," with a rapidly growing population in the south and a largely rural, agricultural base in the center ? just like U.S.

Demographically, the racial composition of Missouri's residents, their average age, marital status and educational background all have historically been fairly close to national norms. And although the median household income has slightly trailed the nation, so has Missouri's cost of living ? making its poverty rate on par with that of the rest of the country.

That has begun to change. Most notably, the 2010 census revealed that Missouri's racial mix no longer is roughly the same as the national average. More of its residents are white (83 percent compared with 72 percent nationally) and significantly fewer Missourians are Hispanic (3.5 percent compared with more than 16 percent nationally). A far greater percentage of Missouri households speak English only than do nationally, which perhaps explains why state voters adopted a 2008 constitutional amendment making English the official language for government proceedings by an overwhelming 86 percent.

Democrats still can win statewide elections in Missouri, but they typically do so by positioning themselves in the political center. Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon, for example, has campaigned on a Republican-like theme highlighting his tax cuts and spending cuts while running commercials that describe him as "independent."

McCaskill cast herself as a moderate and portrayed Akin as an extremist even before Akin's gaffe a week ago in which he told a St. Louis TV interviewer that women's bodies have ways of avoiding pregnancy in cases of "legitimate rate." Akin has since apologized and said he was wrong.

Republican Judy Loman, 68, of the rural central Missouri town of Versailles, said she believes Akin's apology is sincere although she acknowledged "mixed feelings" about whether to vote for him in November. Regardless, Loman said, she would not vote for McCaskill.

In the primary, Carolyn Hinze supported one of Akin's rivals and she didn't like Akin's recent remarks about rape. Yet the 71-year-old retired insurance agent from Joplin plans to remain a loyal Republican and vote for Akin in November.

"He's a little more conservative than I am, but I don't think he's dangerous," Hinze said.

Rick Althaus, a political science professor at Southeast Missouri State University, said that no matter the outcome of the Senate race, he's already changed the textbooks at his school. For more than a decade, the book used for the introductory course on American government included a section about Missouri politics written by Althaus that explained the state's bellwether nature. He removed that description for the 2012 edition.

Simply put: "Missouri is losing its bellwether status," Althaus said.

ITU approves NHK's Super Hi-Vision as 8K standard, sets the UHDTV ball rolling very slowly

We'd heard that the International Telecommunication Union was close to approving Super Hi-Vision as an Ultra High Definition TV standard, and the UN agency hasn't waited long to confirm the rumors. The recommendation to use NHK's 7,680 x 4,320 format has gone unopposed and should define the parameters for incredibly detailed 8K video worldwide. This shouldn't lead anyone to return that 4K TV just yet -- once again, it's important to remember that NHK still won't start any kind of wider testing until 2020. That's also assuming that the first 8K sets are down to Earth instead of the incredibly expensive 145-inch variety.

Egypt editor freed after president issues new law

CAIRO (AP) ? The editor of an independent Egyptian daily has been released from jail just hours after the country's Islamist president issued a new law that bans imprisoning journalists on charges related to their articles.

It was the first time President Mohammed Morsi had issued a law since he assumed legislative powers earlier this month.

Islam Afifi was photographed smiling and being greeted by staff from the privately-owned el-Dustour newspaper after his release late on Thursday. He was detained just hours earlier following a court decision that he be held in custody pending his trial in September.

Afifi has been charged with slandering the president and harming public interest with inflammatory articles published in his newspaper. The articles criticized Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest political group group.

Romney touts Bain experience in Wall Street Journal editorial

(Evan Vucci/AP)After months of negative attacks from his Democratic opponents, Mitt Romney is trying to turn his resume at Bain Capital into a positive for his campaign, arguing in a new Wall Street Journal editorial the experience he gained there would help him in the White House.

"The lessons I learned over my 15 years at Bain Capital were valuable in helping me turn around the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. They also helped me as governor of Massachusetts to turn a budget deficit into a surplus and reduce our unemployment rate to 4.7 percent," Romney writes in the editorial published online late Thursday. "The lessons from that time would help me as president to fix our economy, create jobs and get things done in Washington."

It's a message Romney and his aides have communicated previously on the campaign trail. But it still hasn't quite resonated with voters, amid withering attacks from President Barack Obama's re-election campaign and its allies over Romney's business record.

In the Journal op-ed, Romney argues that his experience at Bain confirmed his "belief in empowering people" and gave him an up close look at how thing like high energy costs and massive regulations impact businesses. Echoing a story that has already been the subject of a Romney campaign ad, the presumptive Republican nominee cites Bain's role in building up an Indiana-based Steel Dynamics by equipping it with new technology.

He says the experience taught him "that we must have a level playing field in international trade." "As president, I will challenge unfair trade practices that are harming American workers," Romney writes.

Among other things, Romney says his time at Bain offered leadership lessons that will help him to take steps to reduce the federal deficit. He also argues that he knows first hand what it's like to start and operate a business?a sly dig at Obama, whom he's frequently criticized for lacking private sector experience and for being hostile to businesses.

"I'm not sure Bain Capital could have grown or turned around some of the companies we invested in had we faced today's anti-business environment," Romney writes.

"I know what it takes to turn around difficult situations," he adds. "And I will put that experience to work, to get our economy back on track, create jobs, strengthen the middle class and lay the groundwork for America's increased competitiveness in the world."

What You Need to Know About The Divorce Process | Law Offices of ...

The divorce process begins with the filing of a Complaint. The complaint doesn?t go into detail about all the things you want, but asks for general things like ?equitable distribution? or ?spousal and child support.?

The complaint will state ?grounds? for the divorce.? Grounds means that the court needs a legal reason to grant a divorce. In New Jersey, the most common grounds are no fault, which can only be filed after a valid 18 month separation, or ?irreconcilable differences? in which you claim you have had such differences for six months prior to the date of complaint and it is unreasonable for the marriage to continue. A claim of irreconcilable differences does not generally require evidence to establish it as a basis for the complaint for divorce, and it is the easiest set of grounds to prove.? There are sometimes reasons to use other grounds for divorce such as ?extreme cruelty? or ?adultery? or other established grounds in your complaint, but this is something that should be discussed with your attorney.

Once you have filed the complaint, it isn?t served on your spouse until it comes back filed from the court filed with a docket number assigned to it. ?That docket number will mark your divorce in the court system and will stay with it forever. At that point, your spouse will be served with a copy of the complaint.

S/he then has 35 days in which to respond. To respond, your spouse must pay a fee and make an answer to your complaint and file it with the court. If you are the one who needs to answer, sometimes you may need to file a cross-complaint in addition to an answer, depending on what is contained in the complaint. ?It is important that you answer a complaint for divorce unless a settlement has been worked out with you and your spouse and filed with the court, because after 35 days you go into what is known as Default.

Default means that technically you can no longer respond to the complaint (though at times you can vacate a default or find other ways of working through the issues with your spouse) and your spouse can go to the court and seek and get relief the way they want without opposition from you.? That?s why it is so important not to delay if you are the answering party, as you may lose your opportunity to seek relief.

Once an answer is made, the court will set a Case Management Conference to determine a calendar for discovery. Discovery means how the parties will get and share information with one another to help resolve the case.? Examples of discovery are interrogatories (questions one party sends the other party that they must answer), requests for production of documents (asking for tax returns or business records), and appraisals on homes or pensions.? The Case Management Conference can usually be waived if both parties can agree on an appropriate calendar of dates for these requests and submit them to court in advance.

As discovery progresses, your lawyer will make efforts to negotiate a Marital Settlement Agreement. Most divorces do not go to trial.? The costs of trial are too high to be worth it to most people under most circumstances.? At our Law Office, we will attempt to negotiate as early and as often as practical and within your wishes, because of the savings in both money and aggravation for you.

Also during the discovery period, if you have children you may be required to attend a parental mediation and/or parenting class depending on your jurisdiction. Your lawyer does not attend these but is available to discuss them with you both before and after.

Additionally, at any time after the filing of the complaint, either party can file what is called a Pendente Lite motion requesting interim relief until the divorce is finalized. Some examples of such interim relief are spousal support, child support and counsel fees. You should discuss with your attorney the possibility of filing a Pendente Lite motion which can help you obtain interim relief, or if you have more resources than your spouse you should discuss how to avoid one being filed against you.? Although this is an additional expense, if the other side is withholding funds, it is sometimes the only way to keep cash flowing in your direction during what can be a lengthy process.

If a Marital Settlement Agreement is worked out, the parties can submit the signed agreement and request a default hearing. Only the party who filed the complaint initially (Plaintiff) is required to go to the default hearing. At this hearing, a series of questions will be asked regarding the settlement and establishing the appropriateness of the judgment of divorce the court will grant that day. Your lawyer will review these questions with you in advance.? At the end of the hearing, your divorce will be granted. If you wish to resume a birth name at that time, paperwork can be submitted to the court and an order granting that can also occur.

If a Marital Settlement is not worked out, the next step after discovery is complete is a Matrimonial Early Settlement Panel (MESP). Your lawyer will produce a memorandum to the panelists, two veteran attorneys, who will read them and discuss the case with your lawyer and the other parties? lawyer.? At that time, they will say what they think the judge will do in the case as an encouragement to settlement. Although their opinion is non-binding, many divorces are settled at the MESP because the realization of what likely outcomes are and the costs of trial frequently encourage people to end the matter.? If the parties can come to an agreement after that, the divorce can be put through that day. Otherwise, the court will set a date for trial.

Once you have been scheduled for trial, if you still cannot reach agreement, pre-trial memos, possibly some motions related to discovery or other issues, and trial memos will be produced by your attorney before your day in court. It is always wise to avoid the expense of litigation if you can avoid it. Sometimes, that is not possible if your spouse is unreasonable or unwilling to demonstrate truthfully the assets of the marriage.

If at any time you have questions about the divorce process, please feel free to contact your attorney or to call our Legal Administrator Dana Lionetti at 856-227-7888 so you can arrange an appointment with your attorney.

If you have not yet hired an attorney, please call us for a free consultation. Although this guide provides some general information, the specifics of every case are unique. It is imperative that you make sure that your rights are protected, because once a divorce is final you will find it very difficult or impossible to undo things you don?t like about the outcome.

Family Visits ? Do You React or Respond? | Parenting With Your Ex

I traveled ?home? last week to visit my parents, sister and extended family. My grandmother turned 96. I have good genes ? three of my four grandparents lived healthy lives into their mid-90s! Trips home always gives me some great opportunities to look within and see what cobwebs may still need cleaning out!

We all have ?issues? with our family of origin ? something from our past challenges us, something else gives us great joy. Either way, those challenges and joys unwittingly manifest in our own parenting and partnership. The question is not whether this happens ? it DOES ? the question is are you aware of your ?issues? from your family of origin and how they impact you as a parent and partner (or former partner)? The reason you want to be aware is because then you have choice about how to respond and interact in life rather than simply react (while fooling yourself that you are actually choosing a response).

When we are children we often think we only have two choices ? rebel or submit. And often as a child, that is true. However, there is a THIRD WAY. We can choose exactly how we want to respond in a particular situation rather than simply react. It may mean we are doing what the other person is asking of us, it may mean we are not doing what they are asking, it may mean we do something entirely different, but whatever choice we make, it is a conscious choice that serves life rather than one that is in response to the other person. This is a place of power.

To be able to do this, we need to replace our old habits with new ones. Have you ever tried to simply tell yourself, ?Hey, stop reacting like that. You know better than that?? Notice how that does not work? That is because telling yourself to stop doing something without having something to replace it with simply does not work. You need to build a new muscle that is stronger than your old one.

So, how do you do that? You become aware.

Free image courtesy of FreeDigitalPhotos.net\

1. Learn to become aware of your body reactions. When you notice your body almost reacting faster than your words that is a clue that you are about to react.

2. Pause and do nothing other than observe your internal experience.

3. Pause again and continue to observe your internal experience! When I get really upset about an interaction, I return to my practice ? sitting on my meditation cushion until the energy and emotions have settled and moved through my body so that I am no longer in a reactive place.

4. Journal about your experience. Explore how this feels familiar to you. Ask yourself what you are feeling and what your genuine need is (and by the way, in case you were wondering, being right is not a need!). What is it that you really want in this situation? Do not respond or do anything until you have clarity about that.

5. Practice the above 4 steps again and again until the habit of pausing and reflecting replaces the habit of reacting.

In service and support of you and your children?s well-being ~
