Today's Health/Excercise Tip:
How to Read Your Own Palm
By Carly Young
 
In palm reading, you have three main lines on your palm, each which indicates a separate area of your life. Your love line is the line on the top of the palm, your head line is in the middle of the palm, and your life line is on the bottom of the palm.

Unlike your zodiac sign, which you're born with, the lines on your palm aren't fixed from birth.

As you progress through life, your palm lines will form and change according to your personality and experiences.

So your life determines what your palm looks like, rather than the appearance of your palm determining your life. For example, a traumatic emotional event may result in a break in your palm head line.

Palm reading isn't a form of fortune telling. It won't tell you what will happen in your life; palm reading will re-tell you what has already happened.

Reading Your Love Line
Your love line, also known as your heart line, relates to all the emotions and situations that are associated with love.

This line is above your head and life line. It begins under your index or middle finger and extends toward your pinky.
How to read your love line:
  • If the line starts directly underneath the index finger, then you are content with your love life.
  • If your line begins right below the middle finger, this indicates a selfish and materialistic outlook when it comes to love.
  • A line that begins between the middle and index finger signifies that you give your heart away too easily.
  • If the line on your palm is straight and short, you have a high sex drive and aren't particularly concerned with romance.
  • If the line on your palm points downward and touches your life line (which is on the bottom), then it's easy for you to have your heart broken.
  • A line on your palm that is long and curvy indicates that you freely express your emotions and feelings.
  • A love line that is straight and parallel to the head palm line indicates that you have a good handle on your emotions.

Reading variations of the palm love line:

  • On your palm, if your love line is wavy, you may have a slew of relationships and lovers, but a lack of serious relationships.
  • A circle on the palm line refers to a time of depression in your life. Likewise, a broken heart line indicates emotional trauma, as does a heart line with smaller lines crossing through it.
  • Smaller palm lines that stretch above the heart line are reflective of happiness in love, but lines that stretch down from the heart line indicate disappointment.

Reading Your Head Palm Line
This palm line doesn't deal with how smart you are, but rather how you think. It can indicate your beliefs, morals and general attitude toward life.

This palm line begins right above the life line (also, remember that it's below the heart line) and travels across the palm.

How to read your head line:

  • A short palm line shows that you prefer working toward physical achievements rather than mental ones.
  • A curved, sloping palm line indicates creativity.
  • If your head palm line and life line are separated, you enjoy the taste of adventure and have great enthusiasm for life.
  • A wavy palm line shows that you have a short attention span and don't enjoy deep thinking.
  • If you have a deep, long palm line that stretches horizontally across the palm, then your thinking is clear and focused. The straighter the palm line, the more realistic your thinking is.

Variations on the head palm line:

  • If you have a donut or cross in your head palm line, this indicates that you've been through an emotional crisis.
  • A broken head palm line indicates that you are inconsistent in the way you think and may have even suffered a nervous breakdown.
  • Multiple crosses through your head palm line represent momentous decisions in your life.
Reading Your Life Line
This line starts on the edge of your palm, in between your index finger and thumb. It extends down your palm. Situated below your heart and head lines, this line will tell you about the quality of your life.
 
Tips for reading your life line:

  • A palm life line that runs close to your thumb indicates that you are often tired.
  • If your palm line is curvy, you have a lot of energy.
  • A long, deep palm life line indicates that you'll have a long, healthy life filled with vitality.
  • If the palm line is short and shallow, then it may indicate that you let others control your life for you.
  • If the palm line swoops around in a semicircle, you have tremendous strength and enthusiasm.
  • If the palm line is straight and stays close to the edge of your palm, you are cautious when it comes to relationships and often hold back from love.
  • If you have two or even three palm life lines, then this means you have extra vitality and positivity around you.

Reading variations on the life line:

  • A circle in your palm life line indicates that you were hospitalized or injured.
  • A break indicates a sudden change in lifestyle, such as an accident, illness or heartbreak.
  • If you have palm lines that extend up and beyond your life line, then you are good at recovering from bad situations, but if you have lines that extend below your life line, you tend to waste energy.

Reading your love, head and life lines in palm reading can be a fun game to play with your friends, not to mention a great conversation starter at a party.

So whether you take palm reading seriously or are just curious to see if your hand accurately reveals your personality, take a look and see what your palm says about you. Or, reading the palms of your friends to gain insight into their past and emotions.

Pretty soon, you'll have all the knowledge about their lives in the palm of your hand!

Prop. 8 gay marriage delay a 'good thing' for eager couples?

A judge said Monday that same-sex couples have to wait until a December appeal to his Prop. 8 ruling. The decision might have delayed intervention from the US Supreme Court.

By Daniel B. Wood, Christian Science Monitor/ Aug. 17, 2010

Los Angeles --- Same-sex California couples planning to wed Wednesday will have to wait until at least December, following a decision by the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

On Tuesday a three-judge panel extended a stay on District Judge Vaughn Walker's ruling that marriage is a protected right for same-sex couples. The panel said the court would hear the Proposition 8 challenge on an expedited basis and hold arguments the week of Dec. 6. Another panel of three judges is expected to rule on the appeal.

Judge Walker decided Aug. 4 that Proposition 8 violated the US Constitution, and later ordered county clerks offices to begin granting same-sex marriage licenses at 5 p.m. Wednesday unless a higher court intervened. The Ninth Circuit panel gave no explanation for why it stayed Walker's order.

While the ruling is a disappointment to many gay marriage advocates, legal scholars say it may be more beneficial to them in the long run.

"In terms of the ultimate result, this may be a good thing for Prop. 8 opponents because it doesn't force the issue before the US Supreme Court right now," says Kelly Strader, a law professor at Southwestern Law School.

If the panel had refused to place a hold on Walker's ruling, Prop. 8 supporters were prepared to seek a stay from the US Supreme Court, which is divided on same-sex marriage.

In the year or more that it could now take for the case to reach the high court, more states will have time to adopt same-sex marriage statutes, and more judicial opinions will be formed to support the issue, the thinking goes.

The other main issue that has yet to be decided in this case, legal scholars say, is whether Proposition 8 sponsors have legal authority - called "standing" -  to appeal Walker's conclusions about the constitutionality of the ban.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and California Attorney General Jerry Brown, the two state officials most likely to have appealed the decision, have come out in support of same-sex marriage and will not do so. In their place, ProtectMarriage, a coalition of pro-family community and religious organizations who have united to restore the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, has taken up the appeal. In granting the stay, the Ninth Circuit ordered the group to explain why they have legal authority, or standing, to continue the case.

"The practical effect of imposing the stay until at least December is to give the 9th Circuit an opportunity to review more carefully whether the proponents have standing to bring an appeal," adds UC Berkeley School of Law professor Joan Hollinger.

"The court wants to hear whether or not the proponents have a big enough horse in the race," says Daria Roithmayr, a professor at the University of Southern California's Gould School of Law. "If they can't show why they have standing, the appeal is over and the trial court decision stands. If the Ninth Circuit rules they do have standing, then the case begins its ascent up the chain to the US Supreme Court."

Demonstrating that overturning Prop. 8 will do harm to same-sex marriage opponents may be difficult, says UC Irvine Law School professor Tony Smith.

"The media should be focusing on the absence of harm demonstrated at trial by the Pro-8 side," he says. "The witnesses for them conceded that same-sex marriage doesn't harm heterosexual couples in any way, and that the ban on same-sex marriages directly harms families," says Mr. Smith. "Given that over 36,000 gay and lesbians got married in California in the brief period when it was legal, if harm occurs from same-sex marriages, the appellants should have been able to demonstrate it."

Ms. Roithmayr says there is case law precedent in both directions on this matter, and the ultimate decision may hinge on a legal technicality that the public may find difficult to grasp.

Another wrinkle which could complicate this case is the California gubernatorial election which comes on Nov. 4, a month before the Ninth Circuit begins to hear the case. Candidate Meg Whitman, has supported gay civil unions but not gay marriage. Since it's possible she could win the election - but not take office until January - it's another unknown how the court would respond.

"A new governor could change this, but she would have to act quickly," says Roithmayr. "The court might go ahead and hear arguments but not make its decision immediately. My guess is that they wouldn't close the window if the governor decided to act."

Strader says that pro-Prop. 8 groups are wrong to be delighted over the Ninth Circuit's decision.

"I think if they are overly optimistic from this, they are misreading the ruling," says Strader. "It will be a different panel of judges which will ultimately decide this."

Remember:  Boycott Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations and to Proposition 8 (California) to prevent gay marriage. The Formal Boycott began this past weekend. I already stopped shopping these stores - even though I want a new washer/dryer and new clothes for the Fall.  Goodbye to Target and Best Buy!
