It is an unfortunate truth that there are times that families face that force them to be far apart for long or even indefinite periods of time. Reasons for families to be split over long distances for long periods of time can include military service obligations, natural disasters, and even employment opportunities. Married couples that are separated over long distances are more likely to experience troubling consequences such as disagreements, fights, and even divorce. Children that are separated from one or both of their parents are more at risk of becoming troubled adolescents without proper guidance.Military psychologists have dealt with the problems of families that feel the strain of a loved one that is deployed for long periods of time due to their service obligations.
Quote of the Week: 07.02.07
This past weekend was a long weekend in Canada. It was Canada Day on Sunday so we all get Monday off. Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy. ? Edgar Bergen (1903-1978), was an American actor and radio performer, best known as a ventriloquist. I went into this long weekend with much ambition. I had all sorts of plans to get many things done around the house. By Saturday afternoon the hot weather had started to take its toll...I hate the heat and I felt sapped of all of my strength.
Fossil Fuel Free in 20 Years
Prospects for renewable power are promising. But it means nothing if the public interest is drowned by corporate power...George Monbiot Tuesday July 3, 2007 The Guardian Before I get to the comment piece by George Monbiot, I'd like to reflect on my last few posts about energy.Lately I've been under attack on my blog from a few pro-nuclear folks. They have been trying unsuccessfully to argue that we need nuclear energy, and that it's a good idea. In the end they've all been unable to argue against the many reasons why nuclear is a bad idea, they continually quote biased studies that rely on assumptions that energy demands will definitely rise (not true, if we embark on aggressive conservation and efficiency measures) and there's no other way to meet them, which is also untrue, since along with conservation, renewables can meet our demands.We can meet energy demands by reducing consumption and enforcing energy conservation, while significantly ramping up renewable energies.The problems with using nuclear energy include a lack of long term focus on conservation, threat of terrorist attacks, no acceptable solution to long term radioactive waste storage, providing materials for depleted uranium weapons, not a solution to climate change, unsustainable (especially without ample fossil fuels to provide energy for construction, maintenance, decommissioning and allowing for proper future storage for nuclear waste), and the extreme cost to taxpayers in form of industry subsidies.Please see my previous posts on energy and nuclear power for more reference documents, studies, articles and discussion comments.Now for the Monbiot comment piece published today in the Guardian online.

This is so true...at least the old barber part as I found out on Saturday. Beware of the young doctor and the old barber. ? Benjamin Franklin (1706?1790), was one of the best-known Founding Fathers of the United States. He was a leading author, political theorist, politician, printer, scientist, inventor, civic activist, and diplomat. As a scientist he was a major figure in the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. As a political writer and activist he, more than anyone, invented the idea of an American nation, and as a diplomat during the American Revolution, he secured the French alliance that helped to make independence possible.
