The open marriage thing was an absolute accident for us, said Fraser, who raised the issue with her husband after being propositioned by another man.
The two decided to explore the arrangement, and negotiate the tension between commitment and openness, when they realized they were both becoming bored with the marriage.
They said the tension caused by extramarital flings actually brings them closer together.
Theres a website that were on, a dating website. Three years ago it was difficult to find people in similar situations, and now theyre all over the place, said Fraser.
Are you opposed to the idea of open relationships or open marriages? Why or why not? Do you know...

For the first time in 15 years, kids ages 5 to 16 jumped in
their quarter midget race cars and zipped around a track
indoors.
The Pikes Peak Quarter Midget Association was at the Palace of
Agriculture at the Colorado State Fairgrounds — a homecoming of
sorts for Cullen Potoker.
The 11-year-old wasnt alive the last time the midgets were in
town indoors. The quarter midgets usually race at the Pueblo
Motorsports Park.
Its fun doing it at the State Fair. Its been a great
experience, Cullen said of racing a few blocks from his home.
The Somerlid Elementary School fifth-grader has been racing
since he was 5 years old, moving...

Five San Clemente moms brought Las Vegas to Talega Golf Club on Saturday for a night of cocktails, poker, and “funny” money–all for the benefit of Hope 4 Hanna, a local non-profit aimed at supporting individuals and families that are afflicted with autism.

The inspiration for Hope 4 Hanna’s Casino Night: All In For Autism was sparked after local moms Shannon Munson, Nenuca Spaeth, Julie Wright, Monika Matson and Christine Joseph attended a similar Casino-themed event in early 2011. Ten months later and for $50 a ticket, San Clemente had its chance to indulge in some Vegas fun, all while supporting a condition that affects many people around the world.

Flicking through the photos, not only do the grainy Kodak pictures show something of times past and a collective nostalgia for things lost – but some of the photos clearly have more of a story to tell.

TORONTO (Reuters) – Canada will plug a loophole in its marriage laws that left foreign gay couples in a legal limbo, able to marry in Canada, but in a union that might not be legal, and perhaps without the ability to divorce.
Justice Minister Rob Nicholson said the problem stemmed from a legislative gap that meant some – if not all – gay marriages performed in Canada could not be dissolved in Canada if gay marriage was not legal in their home country.
We will change the Civil Marriage Act so that any marriages performed in Canada that arent recognized in the couples home jurisdiction will be recognized in Canada, he said. This of course will apply to all marriages...

One important way in which the Z340 differs from older Polaroid cameras is that its not very practical to use the camera while it is printing. With the SX-70, 600, or Spectra series cameras, the print spit out right away, and you could continue to shoot while you wanted for it to develop. You can continue to use the Z340 while the integrated Zink printer is working, but the print might spit out while you are trying to take another picture. Like the rest of the camera, the full experience doesnt seem to be well thought out.
The Zink printer is actually the best part of the camera in our view. Loading fresh paper was a little hit or miss in; an included card that is presumably meant to let the camera...
