Been married a long time? This might be why?
Women, Want a Healthy Marriage? Marry Man Uglier Than You, Study Says
The best marriages are those where women marry men who are less attractive than themselves, research has found.
Psychologists who studied newlyweds found men who were better-looking than their wives were more likely to be unhappy and have negative feelings about their marriage.
In couples where the wife is more attractive, both partners tended to be very content.
The research, published in the Journal of Family Psychology, suggests that, in evolutionary terms, women are less choosy about their man's looks as long as he is able to help them reproduce.
Men, however, are programmed to choose a mate who is most likely to pass on their genes and look for youth, health and physical attractiveness.
The tests involved 82 couples married within the previous six months.

If they don't like the food then let them eat shit...
Vt. inmates call food foul, sue over it
By WILSON RING, Associated Press Writer 53 minutes ago
When shooting suspect Christopher Williams acted up in prison, he was given nutraloaf — a mixture of cubed whole wheat bread, nondairy cheese, raw carrots, spinach, seedless raisins, beans, vegetable oil, tomato paste, powdered milk and dehydrated potato flakes.
Prison officials call it a complete meal. Inmates say it's so awful they'd rather go hungry.
On Monday, the Vermont Supreme Court will hear arguments in a class action suit brought by inmates who say it's not food but punishment and that anyone subjected to it should get a formal disciplinary process first.
Prison officials see nutraloaf as a tool for behavior modification.
"It's commonplace in other states as a way of providing nutrition in a mechanism that dissuades inmates from throwing feces, urine, trays and silverware," said Vermont Corrections Commissioner Rob Hofmann.
"It tends to have the desired outcome," Hofmann said. "Once the offender relents, we stop with the nutraloaf. That's our goal, to protect our staff and not have them subjected to behavior that the average Vermonter would find incomprehensible."
Seth Lipschutz, an attorney with Vermont's Prisoner's Rights office, says the state has a legitimate interest in changing the behavior of inmates who misbehave.
But he says a diet of nutraloaf is punishment, plain and simple. To call it anything else is "playing with words to get what they want. It's wrong and it's sad," Lipschutz said.
"If it's punishment, you've got to follow the rules," Lipschutz said. "Even in prison you get a little bit of due process."
Even Hofmann doesn't care for the taste of the stuff. "It reminded me of eating my vegetables and I'm not necessarily a big fan of vegetables," he said.
Nutraloaf and its equivalents have been used for decades in prisons across the country. In 1978, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a concoction used in Arkansas known as "'grue' might be tolerable for a few days and intolerably cruel for weeks or months."
A federal judge ruled in 1988 that the use of nutraloaf by the Michigan Department of Corrections was punishment.
Now, Michigan inmates are only given nutraloaf after going through the disciplinary process that lands them in segregation, department spokesman Russ Marlan said.
"It's done very infrequently, but it seems to accomplish its goal of preventing prisoners from using or abusing food or their containers in a way that could adversely affect our staff," Marlan said.
The National Prison Project of the American Civil Liberties Union gets occasional inmate complaints about nutraloaf, but the issue hasn't been involved in the group's litigation in years.
"Our position is that it shouldn't be used unless a violation has to do with food. It shouldn't be used as punishment," said the Prison Project's Public Policy Coordinator Jody Kent. "And even in those circumstances, they have to make sure it won't put at risk their health."
Vermont Assistant Attorney General Kurt Kuehl, who will argue the case for the Department of Corrections, said the use of nutraloaf isn't punishment.
Instead, Kuehl said, it's as if a correctional officer were to find an inmate with a knife. He wouldn't have to hold a hearing to take the knife away.
"It's taking an administrative action to protect the facility," said Kuehl.
Afterward, the inmate can be subject to a separate disciplinary hearing for the conduct that led to being fed nutraloaf.
Most Vermont inmates given nutraloaf have used their eating utensils to throw body waste. Nutraloaf, however, is served on a simple piece of paper, removing from the inmate's reach the utensils that can be used to store the waste before it is thrown.
Hofmann said Vermont prisons average about one nutraloaf episode a month.
Christopher Williams, 29, who is charged in a 2006 school shooting that killed two people in Essex, was given nutraloaf after he'd assaulted guards and smeared excrement in his cell.
Since then, his name hasn't appeared on the list of inmates given nutraloaf.
"His name was nowhere to be found," Hofmann said. "I presume it was effective."

You cannot carry a concealed weapon. you also must have your weapon Unloaded in your vechicle,and cased. No law against carrying a sidearm in public..but i bet you would be in the pokey in no time. The concealed carry missed passing last year by 3 votes.

I just picked up a Sig P250 9mm yesterday, I figured it was about time I got a handgun that was 'reasonable' to use. Cool pistole, it is designed to be a real quick and easy change over to 40 cal, 380 sig, or 45 cal. Will they consider each cal as a seperate weapon? I know in most cases they require a background check for the purchase of a functional "mechanism". Nice firearm BTW
The only serial number is on the receiver unit, I am guessing that is one weapon. Yup, they call the state controller for a check, took me a total of 2 minutes. Nice little Texas rule about having a Concealed Carry Lisence.
Strike the 380 sig and put 357 sig in the original comment.
Here's a video in it, the last 1/3 shows take down and reassembly

Very nice...we have 48 hour wait here...no concealed carry at all. Only up side is that you do not have to register any firearms. Only trail is at the time of purchase.Hopefully this State will regain some common sense and pass a concealed carry.

Remember, when danger is imminent, the cops are just minutes away...
Woman slain calling for help
Victim was reporting break-in
By Frank C. Girardot and Bethania Palma, Staff Writers
Article Launched: 03/19/2008 11:13:07 PM PDT
WEST COVINA - A woman who was reporting a break-in at her home was shot to death while on the phone with police dispatchers Wednesday morning, officials said.
The victim, identified only as an Asian woman by detectives, was pronounced dead at her home in the 19700 block of Cameron Avenue after the 11:40 a.m. shooting, sheriff's Homicide Lt. Dan Rosenberg said.
Rosenberg said the woman called for help, reporting someone was trying to break into her home.
"Deputies heard gunshots followed by silence and an open phone line," he said. Deputies arrived and called for paramedics, who pronounced the woman dead at the scene.
Rosenberg said the woman had been shot multiple times.
"At this point we believe it was a burglary gone awry," he said.
An Asian man who came to the scene about 12:45 p.m. asked deputies, "Is my wife OK? Did you find the guy?"
He then collapsed in tears and cried out, "No! No! No! She just called me, you lie."
The man was put in a patrol car and taken away from the scene.
Authorities later said the victim's husband had been taken to the sheriff's Walnut/Diamond Bar Station.
Detectives brought bloodhounds to the scene to aid in the search for three Latino men reportedly seen fleeing the area on foot.
A containment of the area was set up in the late afternoon and a search for at least one suspect occurred on Prospero Street, just west of the scene.
Police later surrounded the intersection of Barranca and Cortez streets and performed yard-to-yard searches, but no one was taken into custody.
South Hills High and Mesa Elementary schools were both placed on lockdown for about two hours Wednesday, West Covina police Lt. Dan Brooks said.
None of the neighbors in the quiet, upscale community seemed to know the couple and said they were new to the area, having moved in less than a year ago.
Ronald Wheeler, who lives across the street, said large yards surround the homes, and residents tend to keep to themselves. He said he doesn't know anyone across the four-lane street.
"I've just seen them driving in and out," he said.
Others said they were shocked.
"I've lived here for 50 years and nothing like this has happened since the Finch murder," said Roger Redhead, 64, referring to the famous West Covina murder of Barbara Finch almost 50 years ago by her surgeon husband, Raymond Bernard Finch.
Rosenberg asked that anyone with any information regarding the Cameron Avenue incident call Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.
