		<title>Divorce&#8211;When &#8220;Forever&#8221; Is Just Too Long</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you unhappy with your spouse and your marriage? Are you seriously thinking about divorce? No matter how you deal with it, divorce is a messy process. When two people, who have taken a vow to stay together forever, decide that forever is much too long, hurt feelings, resentment and bitterness are to be expected. The first step is to remember that you are not the first couple to have marital problems&#8211;even Adam and Eve had some severe set backs.</p>
<p>According to U. S. government statistics, one out of every two marriages will end in divorce or annulment. Many problems can lead to the decision to divorce. Personal selfishness, adultery, disrespect of a spouse, inattentiveness in the relationship, being argumentative, dishonesty, money issues, or difficulties in raising the children&#8211; all can be the catalyst which sparks a desire for separation.</p>
<p>It is possible that the seeds of divorce are sown even before a couple says &#8220;I do.&#8221; Research shows that certain relationship skills, or lack of them, can help predict whether people are headed for happiness or a difficult dissolution. Research by Mari L. Clements, an assistant professor of clinical psychology at the Fuller Theological Institute in Pasadena, CA shows that &#8220;The ones who stayed happily married were likely to handle conflict constructively. Even in the midst of a difficult issue in their relationship, they were likely to treat each other with respect.&#8221;</p>
<p>Grounds for divorce vary from couple to couple and from state to state. Marriage, realistically, is as much a legal contract as it is a personal relationship. Most states now offer some form of uncontested (no-fault) divorces which are popular because they are easy and inexpensive. There is no single reason for divorce. Sometimes, couples simply grow apart.</p>
<p>No matter what the cause of divorce, the key to a successful divorce is communication. This means removing your emotions. Many times, couples facing divorce allow their emotions rather than logic to dictate their discussions and their decisions. Think of divorce as a lesson in patience and endurance. The biggest divorce settlement tip&#8211;focus on the long-term outcome, not the small-time details. &#8220;Who gets Grandma&#8217;s tea service?&#8221;, is not nearly as important as &#8220;how do we raise our children?&#8221;</p>
<p>Most people looking for a divorce attorney are in a state of shock. They are in grief similar to what is felt with the death of a loved one; it is a death of sorts, the death of a marriage. Choosing the right lawyer can be a daunting task, but this one decision can determine the outcome of your divorce and, indeed, your future life. An uncontested, or no-fault divorce, can be dealt with quickly and cheaply if both partners agree to separate amicably. Unfortunately, this is seldom the case.</p>
<p>Many specifics of a divorce settlement are likely to get ugly. Child custody, visitation rights, property ownership, alimony, child support payments, attorney costs&#8211;all of these are going to be difficult roadblocks. Divorce is not easy for anyone. When you lose a limb, even when it is numb from nerve damage, it is still a difficult loss.</p>
<p>The dissolution of a marriage can often leave people in a state of confusion and despair. Often, people tend to make irrational and impartial decisions whether it be entering into a new relationship too soon, having a continual series of &#8220;one-night&#8221; stands, or making large financial purchases&#8211;like a new sports car or palatial home. Try to avoid alcohol and illegal drugs. Being in such an emotionally vulnerable state, it can be easy to fall victim to addictive behaviors.</p>
<p>Make a conscious effort to look forward, not backward. Do not be judgmental or angry at your ex-spouse or yourself. A divorce is not a sign of weakness or failure. It is the end of a relationship that simply did not work out. Let time heal the wounds as you begin to create a new life for yourself. None of the suggestions offered here will relieve your pain immediately, but they can help. Remember, tips only work if they are used.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A screensaver is a kind of small software program or utility that protects your on-screen data from being viewed or accessed by any intruder; at the same time, it also enlivens your screen by displaying constantly changing, vivid, bright, and colorful images.</p>

<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom:14.15pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">For one, organically grown chicken uses all natural products. No arsenic, herbicides, or pesticides.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom:14.15pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom:14.15pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">You may be thinking, what do these things have to do with organic chicken? Well let&#8217;s look at the arsenic first. Arsenic is feed to most chickens in their feed. They use it to control intestinal parasites. Yes it can kill you in larger amounts, or can increase your risk of cancer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The arsenic is absorbed through inhalation as well as digestion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom:14.15pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom:14.15pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Herbicides and pesticides also contain lots of harmful chemicals. These chemicals leave residue on whatever it is sprayed on and your chicken can pick it up through skin absorption.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom:14.15pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom:14.15pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Farmers who raise organic chicken use natural fertilizers like manure or compost to richen soil and plants. They also rely on certain insects, birds, mating disruptions, or traps to control pests and disease.When managing weeds, consider hand weeding, tilling, rotating crops, or mulching.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom:14.15pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom:14.15pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Another great benefit that you won&#8217;t find in organic chicken is antibiotics. Instead organic chicken farmers allow more outdoor access, rotation of grazing areas, balanced diet and clean housing to minimize any sickness.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom:14.15pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom:14.15pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">You may not get much more nutritional value from<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>organic chicken but, you will definitely feel better without all of the added chemicals that can &#8220;bog&#8221; your body down and increase your risk of cancer. It&#8217;s a much more cleaner product that also helps in reducing water consumption. Great way to go green.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your wedding is one of the most beautiful and important days in your life. Something you definitely want to capture with great photographs - both for yourself and for future generations. However, a worst case scenario, could have you paying lot&#8217;s of money for a bunch of pictures you really are not satisfied with. This article will walk you through some of the most important aspects of wedding photography. </p>
<p>Choosing a photographer</p>
<p>Your first task is naturally to select a wedding photographer. Most expensive doesn&#8217;t always translate into &#8220;best&#8221;, so it can pay off doubly to check out several companies and photographers. Also, you should be aware of that some photographers only offer the traditional wedding photography style, or strictly a photojournalistic style. It is best to find a versatile photographer that can do both.</p>
<p>When visiting the photo company you should inquire who will actually be taking the pictures. Salespersons often pose as actual photographers and try to woo customers. If at all possible you should speak directly with the photographer and make sure companies deal openly. You should also ask them to show several complete weddings from each of the photographers they offer you, so you can choose. Make sure the one chosen is the one that will cover your wedding. Otherwise, it is better to find a photographer that personally shoots weddings. A two-person team is an even better package because two points of view of the wedding can be taken.</p>
<p>In any case, the photographer should be able to show more than one complete set of wedding photos. Couples should not accept someone who shows only selected prints of their best photographs from different weddings. A photographer who can exhibit three or four complete sets of good quality pictures, all from different weddings, will probably be a very good choice for your special occasion. </p>
<p>Do not be afraid to come across as &#8220;too picky&#8221;. Because asking intelligent questions will encourage photographers to deal openly with customers. Remember, it&#8217;s your special day, and you should make sure that the wedding photography is something that will help you and your loved ones relive those wonderful memories.</p>
<p>The big day - one big photo-op </p>
<p>Once a great photographer has been appointed to the task, most of your job is already done. However, there are a few things to keep in mind in order to make your wedding as good a photo opportunity as possible.</p>
<p>The first thing to do is to give the most opportunities for the photographer when scheduling activities during the wedding day. When planning the time of the wedding ceremony and of the reception, couples should incorporate the time that the photographer requires to capture all of the couple&#8217;s special moments. There should be a gap between the end of the ceremony and beginning of the reception, to allow for more photographs for the bride, groom and wedding entourage, especially if they are in two different locations. The photographers and subjects will have a more relaxed shoot and will enjoy all the parts of the wedding if the events are well spaced out.</p>
<p>Selecting a photographer that will provide unlimited coverage for the whole day is also a good way to ensure that none of the photography will be rushed.</p>
<p>The check list</p>
<p>As you see, the most important part with successful wedding photography lies in selecting the right photographer. So, to conclude this article, here is a short check list of things you should ask all potential photographers.</p>
<p>- What kinds of cameras does he use? Does he use medium format equipment and have a back up? Does have a &#8220;leaf&#8221; shutter or &#8220;focal plane&#8221;? </p>
<p>- What lenses does he use? Does he use only one, or will he change lenses? Make him show you photo effects that he is able to achieve with different lenses and choose the ones which you like to appear with your photographs. </p>
<p>- Will he provide photographs in both color and black and white, or would he charge extra for B/W? Dramatic effects can be made with black and white photographs, so ask if this is a premium.</p>
<p>- Are hand and digital coloring or digital color separation included in the package or would he charge extra for these? Better pictures are developed when the photograph colors are separated first, improved, and then printed. </p>
<p>- Is he willing to customize a package that is within your budget?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just like anything else in your wedding, your vows can reflect on who you are. You may choose a traditional, a religious, a customized, an interfaith, a multilingual, the possibilities are endless. A &#8220;wedding vow&#8221; is a set of promises you and your groom make to each other during the wedding ceremony. In Western culture, the wedding vows customarily included the notions of unselfishness such as -love-, faithfulness -forsaking others-, unconditionality -in sickness and in health-, and permanence -until death do us part.</p>
<p>During your vows at the very least you must have an officiant and witnesses present. Traditionally, the groom pronounces his vows first, followed by the bride. The order can be changed; there is no law that sets the order in which the vows said. It is possible for the bride and groom to say the vows in unison to each other. Usually the couple will face each other and join hands for their vows.</p>
<p>Almost all wedding officiants allow you to customize your vows, and it should be discussed prior to the ceremony. If you are unsure about the wordage of your vows, ask your friends, family, and the officiant for some examples they&#8217;ve used in the past.</p>
<p>Sample Vows:</p>
<p>I, (your name), take you, (your name), to be my [opt: lawfully wedded] (husband/wife), my faithful friend, and partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of God, our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live.</p>
<p>I, (your name), take you, (your name), to be my friend, my lover, the (mother/father) of my children and my (husband/wife). I will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph. I promise to cherish and respect you, to care and protect you, to comfort and encourage you, and stay with you, for all eternity.</p>
<p>Remember that you and your groom can say different vows.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Come Joseph P. Barker, Sr., and Betty L. Barker, the paternal grandfather and paternal step-grandmother of Susan R. Barker, through counsel, and respectfully move this court for an Order permitting them to visit with their granddaughter and, as to the reasons therefor, would show this Honorable Court as follows:</p>
<p>1. Susan Barker has been a ward of this court since 1999.</p>
<p>2. Her whereabouts are unknown to them.</p>
<p>3. Prior to Susan becoming a ward of this court she was in the custody of your petitioners.</p>
<p>4. Because of a determination by this court that she required treatment for conditions unrelated to movants&#8217; custody, Susan was removed from their care and placed into the custody of the Tennessee Dept. of Children&#8217;s Services.</p>
<p>5. Susan would greatly benefit from visitation with the petitioners under such circumstances as may be ordered by this Court.</p>
<p>6. The present case is governed by Tenn. Code Ann.  36-6-306, which provides in pertinent part as follows:</p>
<p>(b) (1) In considering a petition for grandparent visitation, the court shall first determine the presence of a danger of substantial harm to the child. Such finding of substantial harm may be based upon cessation of the relationship between an unmarried minor child and the child&#8217;s grandparent if the court determines, upon proper proof, that:</p>
<p>(A) The child had such a significant existing relationship with the grandparent that loss of the relationship is likely to occasion severe emotional harm to the child;</p>
<p>(B) The grandparent functioned as a primary caregiver such that cessation of the relationship could interrupt provision of the daily needs of the child and thus occasion physical or emotional harm; or</p>
<p>(C) The child had a significant existing relationship with the grandparent and loss of the relationship presents the danger of other direct and substantial harm to the child.</p>
<p>(2) For purposes of this section, a grandparent shall be deemed to have a significant existing relationship with a grandchild if:</p>
<p>(A) The child resided with the grandparent for at least six (6) consecutive months;</p>
<p>(B) The grandparent was a full-time caretaker of the child for a period of not less than six (6) consecutive months; or</p>
<p>(C) The grandparent had frequent visitation with the child who is the subject of the suit for a period of not less than one (1) year.</p>
<p>(c) Upon an initial finding of danger of substantial harm to the child, the court shall then determine whether grandparent visitation would be in the best interests of the child based upon the factors in  36-6-307. Upon such determination, reasonable visitation may be ordered.</p>
<p>7. The factors that the court will consider in awarding visitation to the grandparents are</p>
<p>provided in Tenn. Code Ann.  36-6-307:</p>
<p>36-6-307. Determination of best interests of child for grandparent visitations</p>
<p>In determining the best interests of the child under  36-6-306, the court shall consider all pertinent matters, including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:</p>
<p>(1) The length and quality of the prior relationship between the child and the grandparent and the role performed by the grandparent;</p>
<p>(2) The existing emotional ties of the child to the grandparent;</p>
<p>(3) The preference of the child if the child is determined to be of sufficient maturity to express a preference;</p>
<p>(4) The effect of hostility between the grandparent and the parent of the child manifested before the child, and the willingness of the grandparent, except in case of abuse, to encourage a close relationship between the child and the parent or parents, or guardian or guardians of the child;</p>
<p>(5) The good faith of the grandparent in filing the petition;</p>
<p>(6) If the parents are divorced or separated, the time-sharing arrangement that exists between the parents with respect to the child; and</p>
<p>(7) If one (1) parent is deceased or missing, the fact that the grandparents requesting visitation are the parents of the deceased or missing person.</p>
<p>8. Petitioners have a strong, loving bond for their granddaughter, Susan Barker, and have maintained a room for her within their home, and the items of personal property that she left behind, in the hopes that Susan would one day return to living with them or at least would visit with them again.</p>
<p>9. Social Worker Cheryl Quinn has advised this court that Susan is displaying suicidal ideation, poor hygiene, lying, and stealing. According to Cheryl Quinn, Susan has required numerous foster care placements, and she has sabotaged all foster-to-adopt attempted placements for her. Petitioners believe Susan&#8217;s actions reflect a deep-seated desire to live with her natural relatives, and that the first step in that process is to allow visitation between the petitioners and their granddaughter so that they can renew communication and family ties.</p>
<p>WHEREFORE, Petitioners respectfully move this Court for:</p>
<p>1. An expedited hearing on this Motion.</p>
<p>2. That at the hearing, Susan, who is now age 13, be brought forward to declare her</p>
<p>interest in renewing visitation and contact with the petitioners.</p>
<p>3. That at the hearing they be permitted to visit with Susan at such times and under such circumstances as this Court shall deem reasonable.</p>
<p>4. That they may have such other, further, and general relief to which they may be entitled.</p>
<p>Respectfully submitted this 7th day of August 2002.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Planning a wedding and want a unique wedding favor to send home with your guests? Coffee wedding favors are a very popular and unique item that will be used with joy. Don&#8217;t get something that will just sit on a shelf and collect dust or worse yet get put in the back closet and your guests home. By giving a wedding coffee favor you can ensure that you are giving your guests something they will use. Not only will they enjoy using the gift they will enjoy thinking about the wonderful memories and fun times they had at the wedding as they sip their wonderful full bodied flavorful coffee.</p>
<p>Well, if you are already sold on coffee wedding favors then you will want to read through this article for some easy ideas to really make unique and outstanding wedding favors.</p>
<p>Coffee- This is the obvious place to start as it will be the central theme to your wedding favor. You should try and plan the theme of the wedding first and then select a coffee that goes along with that theme. For example an easy one would be if you are getting married in Maui or even having a Hawaiian theme wedding you will want to use Kona Coffee in your wedding favor basket. If you have not yet selected a theme for the wedding another thing you can do is look for a local coffee roaster and purchase from them. This will give you guests a little taste of the local area and it supports your local businesses also. Of course if neither of these easily fit into your wedding and still do not strike an idea for you a third option would be to choose your own favorite flavor of coffee. Do you love a certain blend at your local coffee shop or maybe something fancy from Starbucks? Well, choose this as your coffee. As forethought you might want to purchase both regular caffeinated coffee and some decaffeinated.</p>
<p>Next you will want to add some personal touches and make the coffee wedding favor really stand out. There are so many ways to do this but we will give you just a few. These are mostly just to spark ideas for you that you will hopefully use and alter or personalize to suit your own needs.</p>
<p>Coffee Packaging - If at all possible it is a very classy to personalize the favors. You can print a computer label or purchase from a shop that will do this for you. Putting things like the Bride and Groom&#8217;s Name, date and location of the wedding can be a nice touch. IF you are doing this yourself adding in the guests name can also be a lot of fun. To easily make a label you can look around online for free clip art and then just customize it with your own colors and writing.</p>
<p>Mugs - If you would like to round out the coffee wedding favor and expand from the basics a little bit more purchasing coffee mugs can be a quick and easy edition. You can easily purchase customized mugs to any color you would like. You can also add a picture easily to custom mugs and have the bride and groom smiling at everyone as they drink their coffee wedding favor.</p>
<p>Stir Spoons - But a large bunch of plastic spoons and drip them into melted chocolate. Then wrap these spoons with tulle and add a beautiful ribbon that matches the colors of the wedding. Now you are taking the gift from a oh! Nice to a WOW level.</p>
<p>Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans - Another fun addition can be a personalized bag of chocolate covered coffee beans. These can easily be purchased in bulk and then put into a tin or bag and customized with a quick label on the computer.</p>
<p>Chocolates - There are not many coffee drinkers in the world that would turn down a wonderful elegant chocolate in addition to their coffee. You do not need to place too many chocolates in with the coffee but a few high quality chocolates nicely wrapped with a ribbon can go a long way to add class.</p>
<p>Hot Chocolate - Have a lot of guests with young children coming to the wedding? If so you might want to include some fun hot chocolate with the favor and this way the children can join in on the fun also!</p>
<p>Teas - If you are worried about those non-coffee drinkers out there are there are always a few you can appease this crowd by placing a nice tea or some tea bags in with the gift.</p>
<p>Chocolate covered almonds - Chocolate covered almonds can be purchased in bulk in a wide variety of colors and finding one that matches the colors of the wedding and again making tins of them can be a fun addition to the coffee wedding favor.</p>
<p>As you can see coffee wedding favors are a great ideas that can become very creative by adding a few simple touches of class to them. Hopefully the ideas above will spark something for you and you will be off and working on creating your own custom wedding favor. Just think about all the people who the morning after the wedding will wake up and enjoy the wonderful coffee wedding favor you have so lovingly prepared for them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today&#8217;s world, it seems that almost any topic is open for debate. While I was gathering facts for this article, I was quite surprised to find some of the issues I thought were settled are actually still being openly discussed.</p>
<p>The live band or DJ that you choose to entertain at your wedding can either enhance your wedding or put a damper on the festivities. It is important to choose a live band or DJ who is capable of ensuring that the guests in attendance are having a great time. A great live band or DJ is able to sense the mood of the crowd and adapt to meet their mood and vibe in order to keep the party moving.</p>
<p>The first thing to consider is whether you want a live band or a DJ to perform at your wedding. There are a couple of things to consider when deciding between a live band or a DJ. The first thing is price. A DJ is likely to cost considerably less than a live band. A DJ is usually just one person or possibly two people while a band usually consists of an average of about five performers. Right there is where you typically see a rise in cost because the fee you see in bands is usually split between quite a few people and therefore higher than the fee for one or two DJs. Next you need to consider selection. Many bands that perform at weddings have a set list that is typically not as long as the list of recorded music that the DJ has on hand. While this may not seem important because there are not many songs played during the wedding it does come into play if guests request individual songs. The other thing to consider is that a DJ is capable of keeping the crowd entertained for the entire duration of the wedding. They usually even play light music while dinner is being served. Bands however usually play approximately 15 minute sets at a time and then take a break which could interrupt the flow of the wedding. When choosing between a band and a DJ it is important to consider these factors and decide which works best for you.</p>
<p>The most important tip for choosing a live band or DJ is to make sure that you have the opportunity to see them perform before you commit to their services. Most live bands and DJs that perform at weddings gain popularity through their performances at other weddings. The best way to find a live band or DJ that will do a great job at your wedding is to use a live band or DJ that you enjoyed at the wedding of a friend or family members.</p>
<p>The information about wedding music presented here will do one of two things: either it will reinforce what you know about wedding music or it will teach you something new. Both are good outcomes.</p>
<p>In choosing a live band or DJ it is imperative that you ensure that your contract specifies the exact names of those who will be performing at your wedding. This is usually not a problem with a live band because they usually have the same members present at all of their performances. DJs on the other hand are a different story. Many DJs become so popular that they are unable to perform at all of their committed parties. In this case a DJ may offer your party to another DJ for a small finder&#8217;s fee. In other words the DJ may essential sell the right to perform at your party to another local DJ. Additionally a very popular DJ may also have a number of younger, less experienced DJs that sometimes work for him. If you suspect that this is the case, it is important to make sure that your contract specifies exactly who will be performing at your wedding.</p>
<p>You may find that there are a variety of live bands and DJs available for hire in your area. This could make choosing just one a difficult task. One great way to ensure that you are choosing a good live band or DJ is to seek recommendations from close friends or family members. If you didn&#8217;t attend their wedding or don&#8217;t remember their entertainment, ask them if they would recommend their live band or DJ. If they do come highly recommended, ask your friend or family member if you can borrow a copy of their wedding video. Pay special attention to the parts of the video where the guests are dancing and decide if you think the live band or DJ might work for your wedding.</p>
<p>Although you may be certain that you wish to hire a particular band or DJ but try to interview at least three to five potential candidates before making your final decision just for comparison. You may find you feel more comfortable with a service provider or that there is another band or DJ that suits your needs better than your previously preferred candidate. Finally, once you make your decision make sure you obtain a detailed contract that specifies all of the details of your wedding as well as all of your expectations.</p>
<p>Now might be a good time to write down the main points covered above. The act of putting it down on paper will help you remember what&#8217;s important about wedding music.</p>
