Land deal fizzles for gay retiree area

Developers of Marigold Creek, a community for gay and lesbian retirees, had a purchase deal fall through on 32 acres northeast of Grand Avenue in Surprise and are looking for another plot in the city.

"We're really sold on Surprise," said Debi Purvis, a principal with St. Louis-based Out Properties LLC.

Out Properties is a division of Aventurs Development. Marigold Creek is its first retirement-housing project designed specifically with gay and lesbian residents in mind.

Melissa is motivated to work with a wide variety of theoretical math concepts; make original application of those concepts; apply knowledge of advanced mathematical or statistical techniques to new areas of challenge, interest, or opportunity. Motivation is derived from conceptual, analytical, curious, and exploratory thinking. Research and theoretical logic probably appeal greatly to Melissa's mind.

(NOTE: "Evaluation: to appraise carefully; to judge as to worth or amount; to estimate generally.") Most likely, Melissa has a logical mind which "makes sense" of what is perceived regarding the big picture and pieces of the picture within the context of that big picture. It is evaluation or assessment after perception, not the process of perception itself. Emphasis is on patterns, linkage, and relationships. Intuition may be involved in conjunction with this evaluation/assessment process.

clipper's remarks: Love it, and the quote.

Clip Source: www.assessment.com

Preferences for Melissa fully support being perceptually, subconsciously, and consciously aware of fantasy, symbols, symbolic relationships, abstract ideas, options, and choice of options as they relate to creative or innovative activities. Perception triggers ideas in Melissa's mind, a process that just happens - a process often called intuition. It is not a conscious effort to logically "come up with" creative ideas; instead, the process is best identified with the statement that "a thought struck me." A quote by Carl Jung probably makes complete sense to Melissa: "Art is innate in the artist, like an instinct that seizes and makes a tool out of the human being. The thing in the final analysis that wills something in him is not he, the personal man, but the aim of the art."

Violent Language, violent mind

Hostile language is dangerous to your health and well-being; it's toxic stuff. People who are frequently exposed to hostile language get sick more often, are injured more often, take longer to recover from illness and injury, and suffer more complications during recovery. As an obvious result, they tend to die sooner than those not so exposed. What's more, hostile language is just as dangerous to the person dishing it out (and to innocent bystanders who can't leave the scene) as it is to the person on the receiving end.

Verbal abuse is a pattern of behavior that can seriously interfere with one’s positive emotional development and over time, can lead to significant detriment to one’s self-esteem, emotional well-being and physical state. It has been further described as an ongoing emotional environment organized by the abuser for the purposes of control.

Whilst oral communication is the most common form of verbal abuse, it includes abusive words in written form.

Today Poem I can choose what my day will be like

Outside my window, a new day I see
and only I can determine
what kind of day it will be.

It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay,
or boring and cold, unhappy and grey.
My own state of mind is the determining key,
for I am only the person I let myself be.

I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help,
or be selfish and think just of myself.
I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun,
or gripe and complain and make it
hard on someone.

I can be patient with those who may
not understand,
or belittle and hurt them as much as I can.
But I have faith in myself,
and believe what I say,
and I personally intend to make
the best of each day.

The scariest thing I hear about the Palin nomination was that she would appeal to voters because they would be able to relate to her and she to them

I am a recovering addict alcoholic and finding another group that relates to my struggles is/was key to my sobriety

The problem is I may be relatable and share some of your experiences and concerns but you don't want me as president of United States.

I couldn't hold my own for one minute in a debate on any issue with someone like a Barack Obama or Joseph Biden and neither can Sarah Palin

When the call comes at 3AM I want a mind who was at the top of their class, who has gravitas and a real intellect

I want a leader who is a scholar who can hold the history of civilization in his head and will read and learn from the past as he charts the future.

This is the hardest time this generation has ever faced and people are all scared about the economy, our health care and

our children's futures. That is what millions of Americans and I can relate to.
