| Editor's Note
We tend to ignore some
issues till the last moment - that is, until we find ourselves
victimized by it. And by then, it is very late. Domestic Violence is
one such issue. We rarely give it a thought and when suddenly find
ourselves in that ugly situation, we chide ourselves for not
informing ourselves beforehand of what is to be done. The worst
effect of domestic violence is that it affects everyone in the
family - including your kids whose innocent minds form strong
dislikes.
Whether or not you have
ever experienced Domestic Violence in your life or that of a close
one, today's featured article is a must read to prepare you for the
worst should the need ever arise. |

LET'S TALK BUSINESS Office
Tools Required for a Home Business
If you are creating a home office, you will surely need some home
business office tools to make sure you can be productive and easily
communicate with others. Here are some tips on the most popular home
business office tools on the market.
Probably the most popular home business office tools are
computers. Most every home office has a computer in it and it is
usually connected to broadband internet. Broadband internet to most
people is a necessity. You can quickly surf the net and do research
with incredible ease. You can also download files and upload files,
send email and create web sites quickly and easy with the help of
either DSL or a cable modem.
Besides a computer and broadband internet connection, it is also
a good idea to have a printer, copier, scanner and fax machines. If
you don’t want to go out and buy every type of accessory, there are
plenty of all in one office accessories that include a printer,
scanner, fax and copier in one device for usually less than $200.
If you are selling on Ebay, a digital camera is usually a
necessity, especially if you want to take photos of your products
and upload them to your listings. You should also consider quality
office furniture. While you don’t have to spend a lot, make sure it
is comfortable. For instance a good chair that can adjust its height
and pitch is useful especially if you will be typing and staring
into a computer monitor for hours at a time. If you are creating a
home business office, check out the above home business office
tools.

RECIPES
Baby Spinach Salad with Grilled
Onions, Tomato Vinaigrette
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon tamarind pulp
1/2 tablespoon shallots -- chopped
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
1 1/4 cups olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 dash black pepper
1 red onion
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
6 cups spinach
FOR THE DRESSING:
Place the tomato paste, tamarind pulp, shallot, and vinegar in a
blender and
mix well. Slowly add the oil a drop at a time at first and then in a
slow but
steady stream until it is all incorporated. Add the salt. Can be
kept in the
refrigerator for 1 week.
FOR THE ONIONS:
Peel and slice one large red onion thick enough so that you can
handle the
slices and they will not fall apart when you cook them. Rub them
with a little
olive oil and cook the onions over a charcoal fire or under a hot
broiler
until soft. (Approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side.) Toss in a bowl
with 1-1/2
tablespoons balsamic vinegar so that the slices become single rings.
These
will keep refrigerated 2 to 3 days.
TO ASSEMBLE THE SALAD:
Wash and dry one medium handful (about 1 cup) spinach for each
portion and
toss with enough dressing to coat each leaf, being careful not to
over-dress
the salad. Arrange the onions over the salad and serve. Always serve
salads on
chilled plates.
FAMILY ISSUES
Domestic Abuse Affects Everyone
Domestic abuse is a problem that knows no boundaries. It
affects men, women and
children of all races, creeds, colors and socioeconomic
backgrounds. A rich family living
a country-club lifestyle is as apt to face abuse as one living in
the projects "on the wrong
side of the tracks."
Cases of abuse against women, children and even men make headlines
all the time.
Brutal cases even manage to make their way into national news. But
if the parties
involved or those who knew the abuse was ongoing took action,
these headlines may
never have required ink. There are ways to break the cycle of
violence and it is
especially important for those who have children living in the
home. Whether the kids
are at risk or not, they are being affected greatly by events in
the home.
Many will say that children belong in a family with both a mother
and a father, but if
abuse is present, the alternative is the best choice. This is so
for a number of reasons,
but most important is to protect the health and well being of the
children. Whether the
little one is being physically abused or not, damage is being
done. Lessons are being
learned and future actions of that child when he or she is an
adult might be guided by
what happens within their own home.
The little girl who watches her mother take a beating may think
that's "normal" or "okay."
She may very well find herself in the same position down the road.
The little boy who
watches his father hit his mother may think that's how a man is
supposed to act. The
child who is abused doesn't deserve it and certainly cannot
protect him or herself from
the adult's action.
While it's true many a family can be saved from the vicious cycle
through counseling,
anger management training and more, the smartest thing for the
non-abusing adult to
do is to seek help. Oftentimes this may lead to a huge shakeup in
the family living
arrangement, but in the long run, the effort will be worth it. If
the abuser can be helped,
great. If he or she can't, at least you and the child will be
safe.
There are many domestic violence organizations available to help.
Some communities
have full-service shelters that can help immediately by taking the
abused and removing
them from the home of the abuser. These programs will generally
also offer counseling,
housing assistance, job training or placement help and even
emergency food, clothing
and more. Some shelters even have their own on-site schools.
When abuse is present in a home, it's not a time for acquiescence
or apathy. This is
especially so if children are present. There are ways out of the
situation and many times
the integrity of the family can be saved. If all parties are
willing to seek help, the abuse
cycle can be snapped into pieces. If they are not, there is still
hope for the abuse victims
to pick up the pieces of their lives and go on without further
bruising or psychological
damage.
If you or someone you love faces abuse or you happen to be the
abuser, the first step to
stopping the cycle is seeking help. There are plenty of people and
agencies willing to
assist people in making a fresh start. The first step, however,
begins with you.
