Teach our children that to love someone -- being in love -- is to encourage each other to be free and to support each other in expressing and exploring all of the wonderful possibilities in life.
Teach them that love is not about control. Love is about wanting the very best for all concerned.

Backup, backup, backups!If there's one thing I've learned in 20 years and 12,000 data recoveries, it's that everybody doesn't back up their data sometimes. Computers may be dumb, but they know when you don't have your data backed up - because THAT's when they break. Don't let your computer fool you - back up new data daily.It's important that you keep two alternating backups, and an additional spare piece of media. This means to have one disk (or tape, or thumb drive) labeled "EVEN" (for even-numbered days, one labeled "ODD" and one spare. Eventually, something will go wrong with a backup. For example, if
Domestic violence is a particularly grim topic and a vicious crime, because it involves pain and suffering (even loss of life) inflicted by a friend, someone who claims to care, or a so-called loved one.
Many people ask, "Why don't the victims just leave? Why do they stay?"
The Abuse We Don't See
Usually by the time the physical abuse starts in a
relationship, the emotional and psychological abuse has
already destroyed all the dignity and self-esteem of the
victim.
Victims feel ashamed and are embarrassed to tell others about their situations. They are fearful of leaving because of threats from their abusers and financial dependence.
In many instances, victims are manipulated to believe they deserve this treatment and it is somehow their fault. Abusers know exactly what to say and do to keep the abused in emotional captivity.
Victimizing the Victim
Victims view leaving as being more painful than staying,
because of the imagined and real repercussions either from
the perpetrator or from society at large.
Many people in the world still don't understand domestic violence. Therefore, they victimize the victim further by blaming the victim or making comments like: "You should have just left." "I would never be so stupid as to stay in an abusive relationship." "That would never happen to me."
People make jokes in our society about men "getting over" or using women -- men who are " Players." Even today, there are still groups of people who have the mindset that women are not equal to men and are just sexual objects.
Control
Domestic violence is about control -- being mentally
controlled by a significant other. That is the reason why,
after leaving an abusive relationship, a victim will go back
to her abuser an average of four times before she decides
she has the mental strength to leave for good.
Now What?
I believe the remedy for domestic violence lies in building
a society in which we honor ourselves. When we honor
ourselves, it is difficult to dishonor someone else or to be
dishonored. Yeah, easier said than done.
We can start with our children and try to stop domestic violence by educating the new generations.
Teach Our Children
Tell our children how wonderful they are. Tell our girls and
our boys from the time they are born that they are glorious
miracles. Teach them to love, respect, and celebrate who
they are -- just because. Teach them that we all come from
one wonderful source. Teach them that each of us can only
be as strong as the weakest among us.

The first part of most years brings a flurry of trade shows aimed at the public & trade alike such as The Ideal Home Show, Interiors & just recently the Building Exhibition at the NEC. It never ceases to amaze me the amount of new gadgets & Gizmos (along with the usual tat) that companies invent for our consumption. Most seem to have a shelf life of about 2 days once home where it is usually broken, binned or stored never to be seen again. What seemed like a great idea turns out to be nothing more than a poorly designed & manufactured item aimed squarely at the naive & impulsive home owner.Now what has this cynical observation got to do with Residential Planning & Development I hear you ask? Well I have noticed the start of an increasing trend that for me, has the makings of another 'latest fashion fad' about to

Non profit debt consolidation is one of the debt management programs adopted to restructure high interest debts into one single loan, without taking out another loan. This avoids several monthly payments and helps borrowers to take control of their financial situation. Non profit debt consolidation serves as an alternative for those who cannot afford the fees charged by profit debt consolidation agencies.Bank loans, cash loans, credit card bills, IRS, medical bills, and student loans are some of the debts that usually require non profit debt consolidation solutions. Among many of the options available, debt consolidation mortgage is the best solution if you are certain to make repayment duly. They are tax deductible, and are provided against collateral, which may be in the form of home or some other valuable asset.

If you’re like most website managers or owners, you didn’t create your website solely for the purpose of generating revenue from an affiliate program. But the many of the same principles apply for both running a site that’s attractive to an affiliate and running one that will be successful for your own purposes.Both require the following: Understanding the site visitor and why he/she is attracted to your site. The products? Information? Sense of community? Having good content, no matter what the purpose of the site is. Make sure information is highly relevant to your site visitors and changes frequently.Using both offline and online ways to attract site visitors – such as newsletters, reciprocal links, and opt-in email campaigns.

Those that know me think I’m a pretty happy fellow-and I am. I love a good joke, I’m quick with a smile, and I like meeting new people-that’s why I chose sales as a career. But during fall and winter it was a real struggle to smile. Something about winter always sucked the wind from my sails. It was 3 to 4 months of torture. But I never let on how much I hated winter. HATED IT!I had Winter Blues Depression Syndrome. (I made that term up) It wasn’t depression in the clinical sense, it was more like “When will Spring get here? I can’t take many more dark, cold days”. I also felt cheated out of days of life when it was too cold to venture outdoors and I stayed cooped up in the house. There had to be a cure.There’s a scientific term called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a depression that occurs during the fa

In the Meantime
In the meantime, let's start by at least acknowledging that
domestic violence does exist and is a major problem in our
society. It knows no economic, racial, religious, gender, or
educational boundaries. Let's take it out of the closet and
deal with it. Talk about it. Tell somebody about it.
Support your local shelters and any programs in your community that are about helping to save the lives of victims of physical abuse, sexual abuse, and psychological and emotional abuse. They need our help. By helping them, we are helping ourselves.
The Price
According to a report from the American Medical Association,
family violence costs this nation from 5 to 10 billion
dollars annually in medical expenses, police and court
costs, shelters and foster care, sick leave, absenteeism,
and non-productivity.
Educate Yourself
Educate yourself, your loved ones, your friends, your
neighbors, and, of course, your children. If you are in an
abusive relationship, know that there is life after abuse.
Know the Warning Signs
- If you meet a man who says, "Yes, I've hit women in the past, but they made me do it," RUN.
- Avoid anyone who rushes you into a firm commitment very early in the relationship.
- Think twice about committing to someone who says, "I cannot live without you."
- If you're in a relationship where you feel you have to watch what you say -- you are not comfortable being yourself, because you don't want to upset him or be criticized -- know that this is not a good thing.
- If you're in a relationship with someone who wants to know what your every move is -- he interrogates you about where you were, who you were with, and what happened -- run.
- Think twice before you get into a relationship with someone who never takes the blame for anything – if according to him, it is always somebody else's fault.
- No matter how flattered you feel that someone wants you all to himself (disrupting relationships with friends and family), this is a serious warning sign.
There are many other signs that can alert us to be
cautious about continuing a relationship with a certain
person.
Many times we see the writing on the wall, but for some reason, we refuse to read it until it's too late.
Don't Settle
Don't be a "settler." By this, I mean, don't just settle
for any relationship for any reason. Know what you want and
know especially what you don't want in a relationship, ahead
of time.
Stop Domestic Violence
We are miraculous individuals. Many of us have "beat the
odds" more than once. We have done what some said could not
be done. We've moved forward when we thought we were stuck.
We have faced challenges and walked through them wit
