Yesterday evening Jonathan and I hosted a little wine and cheese tasting garden party for the Jewish holiday of Shavuot (the one where you are supposed to eat dairy- basically, my favorite holiday ever!). A friend brought plums from her tree and it was fun to see the early fruits of the garden, including blackberries that will arrive in a month or two.
I am no wine connoisseur, but I did some research online to find wine/cheese combinations that went well together, and then came up with simple, no-cook appetizer ideas using each cheese to pair with 5 different wines (ranging from bubbly to after-dinner port). I learned that when pairing cheese and wine, it's best to match similarities in flavor (like a light fruity wine with a light cheese/fruit appetizer) or go for complete contrast, (like a sweet robust port paired with a pungent blue cheese like gorgonzola). It's fun to take your time and pay attention to how the flavors dance in your mouth! I think they are best enjoyed in this order:
Prosecco: spread camembert (a brie-like) cheese on a toasted piece of baguette, top with a peach slice, and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Pinot Grigio: spread fresh whole milk ricotta cheese on a toasted piece of baguette and top with lemon zest and honey. See more details on that recipe in this post.
Pinot Noir: stack a cube of watermelon, a cube of feta and a leaf of mint on a toothpick.
Cabernet Sauvignon: top a slice of sharp white cheddar with a slice of crisp green apple, then sprinkle with honey and black pepper.
Port: put a smear of creamy gorgonzola on a leaf of purple endive and top with a red grape or 2.
Happy summer entertaining!

Outraged Iraqi officials demanded an investigation into an early morning U.S. military raid Friday near the birthplace of Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki, saying the operation violated the terms of the handover of Karbala province to Iraqi security forces.
Karbala Gov. Oqeil al Khazaali said U.S. forces killed an unarmed civilian and arrested at least one person in the raid in the southern town of Janaja. The governor's brother, Hassanein al Khazaali, said late Friday that the Iraqi killed in the operation was a relative of the U.S.-backed prime minister.
The above is the opening of Hannah Allem's "Iraqi officials outraged by U.S. raid in prime minister's hometown" (McClatchy Newspapers) and quoting officials, such as Karbala's military commander Raed Shakir Jowdet, Allem reveals it was a US operation involving US helicopters and at least one US plane with US forces on the ground while the governor of the region (Oqeil al Khazaali) wants answers and points to "faulty intelligence" on the part of the Americans.
Big question, will it matter more -- that an Iraqi civilian was killed -- to the puppet of the occupation (Nouri al-Maliki) that the dead civilian is a relative?

A closed plane figure with three line segments is called a triangle. If the closed plane figure has more than three line segments, it is called a polygon. The word "poly" means "many," and there are different names for such figures.
A closed plane figure with four line segments is called a quadrilateral. This is the most common type of closed plane figure in geometry. A parallelogram, a rectangle, a square, a rhombus and a trapezium are all examples of quadrilaterals.
A closed plane figure with five sides is called a pentagon. A six and seven-sided figure is called a hexagon and a heptagon respectively. Similarly, a decagon has ten sides, and an octagon has eight sides.

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell
by Susanna Clarke
Bloomsbury £17.99, pp800
Witchcraft can hardly have been so popular since James I wrote Demonology. Magical worlds have been a mainstay of children's literature for some time, but there has been an upsurge of writing aimed at adults which has crossed over from 'fantasy', but, none the less, involves real magic rather than magic realism. Susanna Clarke's book is the most sophisticated offering in this area since Sylvia Townsend Warner's Kingdoms of Elfin.
We are in an alternative 1806 with the same king (George III, just as mad), the same politicians; the Napoleonic War; Byron; pedantic, provincial, learned societies; gentlemen living on their estates, and (mostly) the same back history. But there is such a thing as magic and, furthermore, northern England has been under supernatural rule for centuries.
Hanoverian hegemony over the territories north of the Humber is theoretically a stewardship pending this entity's return. The church exists as a social institution, but not as a religious one. For a couple of centuries, magic has been purely academic; there have been no successful spell-casters. But first one, then another, magician arises: a pedant called Mr Norrell, then a country gentleman called Mr Strange.
Clarke has evidently read deeply in medieval and subsequent fairy lore and has had an immense amount of fun with it. The footnotes are among the best things in the book, expositions of stories alluded to in the text, essays on fairies, bibliographic references to non-existent books, an implied deep-structure of alternative history. The invention from moment to moment is wonderful; the ships made of rain, the speaking statues.
The wit and ingenuity expended on the most minor details is extraordinary. She has woven together Celtic tales of visits to the Otherworld, Border ballads and miscellaneous lore to produce a satisfyingly complete portrait of Faerie, its predatory amorality, robber-baron politics, essential melancholy and strange relationship to human time. She has done as much work again on the minutiae of life and events in 1806-09. This richly intricate detailing is the aspect of the book which should have it coming off the shelves by cartloads.
It is easy to believe in the Elf-king; a composite of familiar fairy characteristics such as vanity, jealousy and possessiveness, not least because he is a creature outside time and not subject to change. It is less easy to believe in the human characters: a man in desperate need of money who is about to marry a beautiful heiress only for her to drop dead, be resurrected and (apparently) go mad would surely exhibit some reaction. Mr Strange goes from being a man with no idea what do with himself to the greatest magician of the age without anything in the way of personal development.
A novel set in the first decade of the 19th century with a conversational, faintly ironic tone and a feminine narrative voice inevitably begs comparison with Jane Austen, but there is no concern for the question that most interested Austen - the moral basis of human action.
Ultimately, the book troubles me because it is situated with respect to Austen rather than Townsend Warner. It is as if the narrative has fallen victim to one of those devices that destroy people but leave buildings standing. Simulacrums of 19th-century people move through a recognisable landscape devoid of its animating principles. This is an exchange between a recently orphaned younger man and a middle-aged clergyman's wife whom he has just met:
'Oh! I thought I would never be done with those bequests. Did your father leave many bequests, Mr Strange?'
'No, madam. None. He hated everybody.'
'Ah! That is fortunate, is it not? And what shall you do now?'
This is an impossible interchange for its supposed time. Clarke's superimposition of one reality on another is disturbing, because the addition of functional magic to English history from circa 1110-1600 would have changed everything from basic social structures to politics, yet, somehow, everything is supposed to be exactly the same.
This may seem a pedantic reaction to a work of pure entertainment, but the past is more than just a style. A fantasy story written in a way that mimics the conventions of serious fiction and uses history as a sort of theme park cannot say anything about anything in the terms proper either to fantasy or to the novel.
For all its ingenuity and charm, this book is as insubstantial as fairy gold.

As long as I've been dating Dan, I've heard about the wonderful Indian food in London. Well, we struck out twice before finding a decent restaurant. The first time was during the first week of our stay in London and I blogged about it here.
The Terrible Indian Restaurant in London
The second time, we found a vegetarian Indian restaurant as we were shopping near Oxford Street.
I enjoy being a carnivore, but I can also appreciate vegetarian cuisine. However, I found the vegetarian choices that we made at Woodlands Restaurant to be lacking. I think that we may have made poor choices, as the restaurant was packed and doing a brisk take-away trade. The food that we ate was greasy and rather than flavorless, it almost had too much flavor, over-seasoned. I simply didn't enjoy my meal.
On our final night in London, we discovered a fantastic Indian restaurant named Rasa W1.
We really enjoyed the food at Rasa W1 and we learned that the owner's family has a restaurant in Los Angeles. We have yet to try it, but we will soon. Rasa W1, not only had yummy food, but the staff was very welcoming.
So where are all of the amazing Indian restaurants in London? What do you consider to be the best? Where should we eat? As much as we enjoyed our meal at Rasa W1, I'd love to hear some opinions to steer us in the right direction for our next trip. It's never too early to start thinking about vacation food!

City Guide
"Manchester has a massive range of writer's groups and literary events that take place all across the city. Whether you write poetry, prose or for live performance there will be regular opportunities to share your work."
Naomi Sumner Chan
Best Open Mic
A lot of the city's open mic events take place in the trendy Northern Quarter in venues such as Three Minute Theatre and pub venues. A highlight being the monthly Bad Language at Gullivers on Oldham Street. A mixture of poetry and prose, the evening consists of 10 x 4 minute open mic slots and a headline act of 20 minutes. With half the open mic slots being reserved for first time performers this is a friendly and supportive place to share work.
Word Central is one of the few open mic events that does not take place in a bar venue, instead taking place at Manchester Central Library on the first Wednesday of the month 6pm-8pm. This is a popular event and open mic spaces go very quickly. To book your slot contact firstname.lastname@example.com
RAW (Rhythm and Words) at Contact Theatre is a FREE open mic event for poets, vocalists and MCs and tends to attract a more diverse crowd.
For younger performers there is the legendary One Mic Stand hosted by Young Identity showcasing Manchester's finest spoken word performers under the age of 25. To take part in the open slam contact email@example.com
Script Writing Support
Brush Stroke Order
For emerging playwrights there's Brush Stroke Order led by Naomi Sumner Chan a Manchester based playwright and dramaturg of Chinese ethnicity. This new writing company has a script reading service where playwrights can receive written feedback on their work as well as receiving mentoring, training and production support. Brush Stroke Order holds regular workshops in the city centre covering all aspects of the playwriting process as well as other forms of creative writing including performance poetry, short stories and flash fiction.
Scriptwriting North
For Screen writers there's the very popular Scriptwriting North which holds regular workshops on screenwriting, radio development and script support groups. Sessions take place in Manchester and online. You can choose from a 1 day introduction to writing for screen to a 6 week course and the weekend residentials are very popular. Visit Scriptwriting North for details of current and upcoming courses.
Manchester ADP
Manchester ADP is a collective of actors, directors and producers who run the fortnightly "Scripts Aloud" event at the Kings Arms Pub in Salford. This is a new writing night for playwrights with plays in development who can submit scripts at any time and receive written feedback from a script assessor. Successful scripts are given a rehearsed reading in front of an audience who are then invited to give immediate feedback to the writer.
A word of warning – this is a massively popular event and writers often have to wait several months for their work to be performed. Also while they have a lot of actors on their database, Manchester ADP do struggle to cast older BAME roles especially East Asian.
While there is a thriving literature scene in Manchester it's not particularly ethnically diverse and certainly doesn't reflect the diversity of the city.
Commonword is one organisation which aims to support BAME writers in the North West and it also organises the Black and Asian Writer's Conference. This year's conference will take place on October 13th 2018.
Identity Writers Group
Identity Writers Group run by Commonword started in the 1980s and is exclusively for writers who identify as BAME. The group is for poets, playwrights, novelists, and short story writers and there is the opportunity to share your work with the group and receive peer feedback.
Identity meets at the Commonword Office, Planetree House on Oldham Street in Manchester City Centre every Wednesday 6.30pm to 9pm. New members are always welcome.
Young Identity
Young Identity is a diverse group of young writers led by the senior coordinators, Shirley May and Ali Gadema. Formed in Moss Side, Manchester in 2006, the creative project includes poetry, script writing and performances.
Young Identity supports teenagers and young adults up to the age of 25 by using poetry, prose and performance to expose young people's issues locally, nationally and internationally. It helps members to write about subjects that may have a direct impact on their future, giving them a platform from which their voices can be heard.
With groups meeting across the city, Young Identity promotes inclusion and community. It is aimed primarily at those from disadvantaged areas, encouraging literacy and analysis amongst young people. The project is a powerful voice in improving social awareness and communication skills.
Best Writing Course
For playwrights I recommend the Studio Salford Write For The Stage Courses led by award winning playwright Mike Heath. Alumni from the course have gone on to have success in local playwriting competitions and have toured their plays nationally with support from Arts Council England.
With courses for beginners as well as more advanced playwrights including a course on how to produce your own work, Mike is able to help writers at every stage of their development. Courses take place at The Kings Arms pub in Salford and online.
The Writing Squad
The Writing Squad provides workshops, 1-1 support and investment for young writers aged 16-21 who live, work or study in the North of England.
The FREE two year programme is designed for those who are serious about pursuing a writing career and is open to writers of any genre. It links writers and activists with the literature industry and independent sector, while encouraging them to produce and distribute work themselves.
Squad members are given help and support to establish themselves as individual artists, collectives and start up companies.
Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre
It's always worth keeping your eye on the Creative Opportunities section of the Royal Exchange Theatre website.
You'll find the dates within which you can submit a script to the theatre, details of competitions and development opportunities, and a very good Writers' Resources section with excellent questions to think about when you're writing your first draft script.

Moon calls for 'heartfelt' Japan apology for WWII sex slavery
By Agence France-Presse
South Korean President Moon Jae-In on Wednesday called for a "heartfelt apology" from Japan to the victims of wartime sex slavery, condemning a 2015 agreement as a "wrongful" solution.
Seoul said this week that it would not seek to renegotiate the deal, as it had been agreed by both Tokyo and the previous South Korean government.
But it said it would no longer use Japanese money to compensate the survivors.
The issue of women forced into sexual slavery for Japanese troops in World War II has roiled relations between the neighbors — both of them US allies and both threatened by nuclear-armed North Korea — for decades.
The deal on the so-called "comfort women" should not have been struck without the involvement of the victims, Moon told a New Year press conference.
"This issue cannot be resolved through a give-and-take deal between governments struck over the victims' head," he said.
"A wrong knot has to be untied. Japan should accept the truth, make a heartfelt apology to victims."
Doing so would enable the survivors to forgive it for its past wrongs, he added.
The agreement was finalized by now-ousted president Park Geun-Hye under pressure from Washington in the face of mounting security threats from North Korea.
Under the deal, South Korea promised not to raise the issue again and Japan transferred 1 billion yen (now $8.9 million) to a foundation dedicated to supporting the victims.
Tokyo has reacted angrily to comments on the issue this week by Seoul.
Yoshihide Suga, the top Japanese government spokesman and the Chief Cabinet Secretary, said Wednesday: "Japan can never accept it if the South Korean side demands we take further measures despite the agreement that confirmed the final and irreversible solution on the issue."
Moon had lambasted the agreement on the campaign trail and was elected president in May after Park was impeached and jailed over a massive corruption scandal.
But he said Wednesday: "The fact that there was an official agreement between Korea and Japan cannot be denied. It is also important to deal with Korea's relationship with Japan carefully."

Been a long time since I got very far under the hood in Unix so I'm probably not even using proper terminology when I say 'registry,' but here's the situation.
I have a disk thats dying. Lots of i/o errors. So I'm in the process of copying all of the files from that disk over to another.
But there are definitely files that aren't making it over. Is there a way that I can look at the 'registry' of files on the bad disk and compare that with the files that exist on the new disk and determine which ones are missing?
I know I could try and do a
diff between the two filesystems but am concerned that reading through every file on the bad disk is just going to error out - whereas I'm hoping that the list of what files exist on the bad disk is still sitting on undamaged sectors.
Or does Unix (actually this is all OSX, not pure Unix) not even contain a global registry file?

Ratings for Dr. Jan Venter
Call back from Dr Venter is non existent. Impossible to receive a call back from staff as they have said they are too busy. These issues have been addressed numerous times but they do not seem to care about their patients.
Leaves one practice and starts another constantly. It seems like this is a pattern for him, leaving patients behind at a whim with NO followup. Dangerous.
I was one of doctor Venter's patients for years. Originally, I trusted him and felt that I was receiving good care; but, as the years went on, I started to feel like I was receiving very poor, at times dangerous, medical care. He once prescribed me colloidal silver, a type of antibiotic used prior to the invention of safer and more effective modern antibiotics. Colloidal silver is well known to turn skin permanently grey/blue. Dr. Venter closed his practice without warning. Adding insult to injury, he dated the notification letters he sent out so it would look like he'd followed the legal requirement to notify us 3 months prior to closure, but the date on the postage stamp clearly showed he'd just mailed them. According to his LinkedIn profile, it looks like he abandoned us to work at a boutique physicians clinic (clinics for those who can pay).
Well after being a "DR VENTER RELIGION" or so to speak for many years, after he closed his clinic with just one days notice and now nearly 2 1/2 years later I find that I'm getting more and more angry with Dr. Venter and the way that he "just" dumped us, his patients that were so very loyal to him during his years of practice and in return we were so reliant on him for support and real health care, (which at the time he truly provided to us!) but today things are so difficult and there's absolutely nowhere to turn because he left us in the lurch. The very least he could have done for us was ensured that we had our "ducks in a row" as well before he "closed shop" so that today was not a living hell and our pain was not so unbearable that we did not know where's to turn!!!! Thanks for leaving us in the dust! Not a cool move on his behalf, pretty crappy for those of us left with that confused look on our faces!! Anonymous!
not an infectious disease dr. He was a fibromyalgia dr. his clinic closed unexpectedly on May 1, 2011. Where did he go? I heard he had gone into research. As a former patient I was shocked when I was given 1 days notice of his clinic closing. No answers. He was helping me with a complex problem with my neck and a problem called PC3 and was assisting me with my contact with the specialist in Renton, Wash. now I a left to fight our BC system on my own. Very disappointed. He was a great FM dr. very caring and very up on the current research. Is there any people out there in a similar situation to me. pls email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Best doctor I have ever had, really seemed involved with the care he prescribed, forward thinking. Shocked when he announced he was closing his family practice....
I thank God every day for having met and have been looked after by Dr. Venter. His expertise saved my husband for a few extra years. I know wherever he goes, things will start to change. He has made a difference in my life; I only wish him the very best in his endeavors. Sandy W.
I have had an undiagnosed illness for a few years now. Looks like chronic fatigue syndrome, but seems to be autoimmune disease. Dr. Venter was the only person in town I found that seemed to be up on alot of the research, so he was the only person I had who held out any hope. But he just up and closed his practice last month, with only a few weeks notice, and no replacement. So it would seem he doesn't really care about his patients.
Am from Africa, now in B.C. Met Dr jan venter at the clinic.I can say no doctor like him.For sure this man is qualified and alert doctor.He has brought the average of doctors in BC UP.i DONT THINK HE WILL LAST AT THE CLINIC FOR LONG. hE IS OVER QUALIFIED FOR CANADA
He truly is a gift to the medical community. I really don't know what I would do without him as my physician. As a fibromyalgia sufferer for nearly 15 years it's hard to find a knowledgeable practioner who knows the many complications that go along with fibro. He's been nothing but wonderful to me and my family, he's extremely thorough in his examinations and makes you feel confident in his ability. He seems to know exactly what to do with my ailments. I feel extremely blessed to have him as my physician and so do my parents.

Tail docking is always going to be a contentious subject - here are the real guidelines to carry out the procedure correctly and legally
Scottish National Party (SNP) Councillor Christopher McEleny has recently hit the headlines with his demands that SNP members attending the Autumn 2017 conference be given the opportunity to voice an opinion on the Scottish Government's decision to allow the shortening of the tails of certain working dog breeds.
The Scottish Government banned tail docking in 2007. However well-intended, the ban failed to account for working gundogs or address the welfare concerns of those dogs suffering tail damage.
This situation was amended when the decision to allow a small number of breeds to have protective tail shortening was passed on a vote of 86 for and 29 against.
Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said: "We firmly believe that shortening the tails of puppies that are at risk of tail injury while engaged in lawful shooting activities in later life will improve the welfare of those dogs."
Tail docking and the law
- Tail docking was banned in 2007 in England and Wales, except under certain exemptions catered for in the Animal Welfare Act.
- Puppies have to be docked before they are five days old.
- This is before the neonate nervous system is fully developed and when bones are still soft.
- Discuss your docking requirements with your vet well before the whelping date to avoid last-minute panics.
- The vet will ask you to sign a statement declaring the dog whose tail is to be docked will be used for one of the following: a) law enforcement; b) activities of HM Armed Forces; c) emergency rescue; d) lawful pest control; e) the lawful shooting of animals.
- Once the five-day time frame is up, the puppies cannot be docked.
Dog tail docking
What can you do quite legally in England which could cost you a fine of up to £5,000 or even…
Which breeds cannot have tails docked?
Once you have found a vet who is happy to dock, they will need to confirm the breed.
- In England, the puppies must be one of the following listed breeds: HPR breed of any type or combination; spaniel of any type or combination of type; terriers of any type or combination of type.
- However, in Wales, combinations of breeds (ie. cross breeds) cannot be docked, only the individual pure breeds.
The breeder will then have to give evidence that the owner of the dog will be using the animal for work in connection with lawful pest control. They will have to supply a shotgun or firearm certificate issued to the owner of the dog (or to the agent/employee of the owner).
Or they will need a letter from a gamekeeper, land occupier (or his agent), a person with shooting rights or a shoot organiser, etc. in which the writer states the owner of the dog to be docked is known to them, and that dogs bred by that breeder have been used on their land/shoot, etc. The vet must obtain a signed statement from the breeder/owner to say the puppies are of the above type and will be sold for the above purposes.
Tail docking procedure
Once you have found the right vet, advised them of the whelping date, shown them all the paperwork and discussed the needs of your breed and tail length you need to set a date.
Organise a home visit from the vet to avoid the stress of a car journey and an increased risk of infection. Most bitches with a young litter are protective of their puppies, so it's wise to pop mother in another room, or get someone to take her for a short walk in the garden so the vet can work swiftly.
There are two possible methods, which use either surgical scissors or a scalpel. Because the nervous system of a young puppy is not fully developed, the procedure is almost painless, so when the puppy is put back in the litter a few moments later, it starts suckling or falls back to sleep almost immediately. Stitches are rarely required, although sometimes an anti-coagulant is applied to the tail end, but this can irritate the bitch's tongue when she goes back to lick them afterwards. Many vets prefer not to use it and choose a more natural alternative such as witch hazel. It's normal within five minutes of the entire litter being docked for mother and pups to be asleep in a warm pile without a murmur.

Every one of us in the United States has legal rights that are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, and every person in the United States should know what those legal rights are. However, in recent years here in the land of the free, the police are increasingly inserting themselves – illegally and unconstitutionally – into our public and private lives. Even drinking a cup of coffee can bring the government down on you. Ask Lindsey Krieger, a young Minnesota woman. She's one of the millions of us who like to drink a cup of coffee on the morning commute. When a cop in St. Paul pulled her over in traffic back in October, Ms. Krieger – like the rest of us – had no idea that drinking a cup of coffee could be considered reasonable cause to trigger a traffic stop. After playing a few rounds of "Why Do You Think I Stopped You?" the officer finally informed Ms. Krieger that drinking coffee while driving is against the law.
Of course, Ms. Krieger wasn't ticketed for drinking coffee while driving. Everyone knows that's not against the law. She was cited instead for not wearing her safety belt. Ms. Krieger says that she unbuckled the belt after she was stopped so that she could reach more easily for her license and registration. The officer's supervisor, St. Paul Police Sgt. Mike Ernster, did not criticize his subordinate's unconstitutional and frankly stupid behavior. He fully supported the officer and told Minnesota reporters that Ms. Krieger might have been guilty of "inattentive" driving. However, at least one observer offered some common sense. Joe Cummings of the Minnesotans for Safe Driving called the unfortunate incident an overreach by the police, and he pointed out that cup holders are standard equipment in U.S.-made automobiles, which means that drinking non-alcoholic beverages while driving is an accepted and normal social practice – not a crime.
It doesn't really matter what your politics are. All factions along the political spectrum agree that federal, state, and local governments, and especially law enforcement agencies, step over the line far too frequently. The constant invasion of our lives by the police – and by the rest of the government – is a sad reality that more and more of us are forced to confront on almost a daily basis. Do police officers really find it necessary to interrupt our lives with juvenile accusations that only waste your time and your tax dollars? Seattle offers a prime example of governmental pettiness. If a corn cob or a pizza crust accidently falls into your recycling bin in Seattle, and city employees find it, you can be fined up to $50. Here in Colorado, we've also endured our share of petty government regulations. Until 2009, you couldn't even collect rainwater in a bucket on your own property – it legally belonged to the state, every last drop.
Ostensibly, the police still must have a "reasonable cause" to stop you in traffic. In other words, the officer must spot an actual violation, or you must match a description of someone who's wanted for a crime. During a traffic stop, it's legal for the police officers to search anything that's in plain view. But what about a cell phone that's in plain view, or a laptop that's open to your Facebook page or your bank account? Along with the coffee and the rainwater, these may seem like trivial examples, but they point to a quite serious reality that's analogous to "mission creep." If you've watched the United States conduct foreign policy over the last several decades, you know about mission creep. At first, the phrase referred exclusively to military operations where the aim – and the number of boots on the ground needed to accomplish it – keeps expanding. Send in some troops to "liberate" some people, and you end up rebuilding a nation, staying there a decade, and spending a few trillion dollars.
The problem is that mission creep isn't the monopoly of the military. Police departments are vulnerable to mission creep too, and in too many instances, it's becoming a chilling reality. Whether the cops are surrounding the home of a suspected white supremacist on Ruby Ridge, choking an innocent black man to death on a New York sidewalk, or harassing a young woman for drinking coffee in St. Paul, they're acting in ways that precisely define what mission creep is. What's typically left behind when police agencies expand their "mission" is a basic respect for our legal and constitutional rights.
Historically, mission creep started in police departments with SWAT teams and the "war" on drugs in the 1970s. Police semi-militarization and mission creep continue today. In 2014, outrage at police excesses emerged on the streets in Baltimore and in Ferguson, Missouri, as well as across the nation's newspapers and televisions. Also in 2014 – in the case of Navarette v. California – the United States Supreme Court decided that anonymous tips accusing drivers of reckless driving are enough to justify searching their vehicles. Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in his dissent to the Navarette decision that his fellow justices had made a "freedom-destroying" decision. Other Supreme Court rulings since the 1970s have consistently eroded Fourth Amendment rights. Law enforcement agencies around the country now routinely conduct legally questionable searches, and anybody with a grudge against you can simply telephone the police and cause you a world of trouble by telling them that you're driving recklessly, neglecting your children, or violating some other law. To search your vehicle legally during a traffic stop, one of these conditions must apply:
- The police officer has probable cause.
- There is evidence of a crime in plain view.
- The police officer has obtained your permission to conduct the search.
- The police officer believes his or her life may be at risk.
If you are stopped for a routine traffic violation that should not normally lead to an arrest, the police officer might request permission to conduct a search of your vehicle. You should politely but quite firmly deny that permission. The results of any search that you permit will be admissible in court. Of course, if you are stopped and an officer sees undeniable evidence of a crime – such as weapons, drugs, or open alcohol – in plain view, you and your car can be legally, thoroughly searched, and you'll very probably be arrested on the spot – legally.
Since cars were invented there's been controversy regarding traffic stops by the police, but your home is another matter. The Constitution is clear – law enforcement officers may not enter your home without a warrant or without a reasonable belief that a crime is in progress. Yet in 2011, police seized a family's home without warrants in Henderson, Nevada. A Henderson police officer asked Anthony Mitchell to allow officers to use his home to gain a "tactical advantage" over a neighbor who had barricaded himself, but Mr. Mitchell rejected the request. That is his right under the law. Mr. Mitchell says the police returned, busted through his front door without warrants or permission, and arrested him for "obstructing an officer." Five years later, Mr. Mitchell and his family are still having no luck seeking justice from the courts.
There's simply not enough space here to list the many recent incidents of overreaching by police departments, but here's a sample of what's happening every day in our nation. Two teens in Hardeman County, Tennessee spent 48 hours in jail in November – for wearing baggy pants. Also in November, a TSA (Transportation Security Administration) agent at the Fort Lauderdale International Airport confiscated a 5-year-old's "Buzz Lightyear" toy purchased from Disneyworld. Deemed a "replica firearm" by the TSA, after inspecting the toy, the agent didn't return it. He threw it in the trash and made the child cry. A 39-year-old man was arrested in Mecosta County, Michigan, in November for handing out flyers in front of the county courthouse. They weren't obscene, either. The flyers explained the legal rights of jurors. Keith Woods now faces six years in prison for "obstruction of justice." And earlier in 2015, a Miami police officer named Paul Gourrier handcuffed a 5-year-old – who had been fighting with another youngster over a toy – to show the child "what can happen."
A greater concern, of course, is what can happen when law enforcement officers no longer follow the law. James Madison, the fourth president and an author of the Constitution, once said, "I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." That's the reality that we've been facing since the 1970s. It's not an abrupt and sudden rejection of our rights. Instead, we're slowly and incrementally losing those rights, and many of us don't even realize how far the government has encroached on our freedoms.
As a consequence of Navarette v. California, you are now much more likely to be stopped and arrested for a crime in Colorado. If that happens, let an experienced Denver criminal defense attorney help. Even a bogus tip now gives the police sufficient reason – "reasonable cause" – to stop you. If you are charged with a felony or with a misdemeanor in the Denver area, now more than ever, you'll need high-quality legal help, so you'll need to contact a Denver criminal defense attorney promptly.

OU can coast into
hell on an empty fuel tank, but an uphill climb is required to attain

only true psychotherapy
in the Catholic mystic tradition is prayer and
fasting [1]
combined with a sincere study of the faith. Its
that simple. If only we did exactly what Christ told us to doto turn
away from the satisfactions of the world so as to renounce sin,
pray constantly, and live chaste,
modest, and humble
lives filled with loving sacrifices for the
salvation of other soulswe would be spiritually
and mentally healthy.
Many individuals through the
ages have found healing for their emotional pain in this way. But such healing
requires total surrender to God. Its all or nothing.
Psychotherapy in the
Catholic tradition requires that you take up relentless, persistent prayer to
God (and to the saints and angels for their intercession) that you will grow
in holiness, and, at the same time, you must force yourself to maintain
a calm trust in Gods protection and guidance despite your fears
of admitting your own helplessness and despite your impatience
with things not occurring as quickly as you want.
And its a sad truth that
in todays world, despite our prayers and
confessions, many Catholics do not live lives
completely ordered to the commands of Christ. We are
afraid of making the total surrender to Him that Christ
asked us to make. Despite our best conscious intentions we constantly encounter
psychological obstructions that hold us back from living
holy lives.
If your boat is
tied to the dock, no matter how hard you row you still wont go very
far until you untie the rope. In a similar way, no matter how hard you try
to improve your life, you will be obstructed with self-sabotage and
failure despite your prayers if you havent resolved the unconscious
conflicts from your childhood that tie you to frustration and
Accordingly, many individuals
today need psychotherapy to help them overcome the unconscious
resistances to doing the very things they know consciously they
should be doing.
Hence it can be
said that Catholic psychotherapy is a matter of removing the psychological
obstacles that prevent a person from loving God with a pure heart.
A Story About Desire
I dont know whether its
true or not, but the story goes that a man came to an ancient philosopher
desiring to learn wisdom. The philosopher took the man out into a river and
then suddenly wrestled him down under the water.
Just at the point of drowning him, the philosopher hauled
him out again and said, Now, what did you say you wanted?
The poor guy was just gasping and wheezing, begging for
Well, when you want wisdom as much as you want to
breathe, the philosopher told him, then you shall have it.
Psychotherapy (often referred
to colloquially as therapy) has as its objectiveeven when
informed by the Catholic faiththe resolution of psychological
conflicts that produce psychiatric
These symptoms are created by
emotional resentments that begin in childhood and become the core of your
psychological defenses. Such defenses have an original purpose of protecting
you from intense emotional pain by hiding your resentments from conscious awareness,
but as you get older these resentments can so erode your confidence
and self-esteem with feelings of victimization,
hate, self-blame, and
self-punishment that they affect not only your
mental health but also your social health and spiritual health.
In fact, individuals
caught up in their unconscious defenses dont really
desire to serve God. Deep in their hearts they
use the name of God only as an excuse to serve their own
pridethe pride of believing that they are
in control of their lives.
And why is this?
Well, you may not want to admit this to yourself, but all of us have dark and
hateful thoughts and imaginings that we keep shrouded
in secrecy and dont want to reveal to anyone, especially not to a psychologist.
How many times have you said to yourself, If people knew what I was really like,
they would never want anything to do with me? But the more you try to hide the
truth of your life from others, the more you hide it from yourself, and the more you
fall into pridethe pride of doing everything your way.
Now, many various
theories and techniques have been developed since the early 1900s when Sigmund
Freud formulated the concept of psychoanalysis. All of these techniques have
one basic objective: to help us do the things we would like to do, but,
by ourselves, cannot manage to do.
Some of these techniques are
based in conscious, rational thought processes.
techniques, for example, focus specifically on changing thoughts and behaviors.
Note that vocal prayer is the pre-eminent form
of Cognitive-Behavioral therapy.
and reasoning are also forms of psychotherapy. Note that this has
been a preferred method of Christian psychotherapy, beginning with Christ
Himself, continuing with the Apostles, and fully exemplified by men such
as St. Thomas Aquinas, whose work is often recalled by modern Catholics in
their practice of psychotherapy, and St. Ignatius of Loyola in his Spiritual
Still, some persons develop such
deep resistance to changing their lives for the good that psychotherapy must
reach deep into their unconscious minds, well past their conscious
Imagery helps you visualize things that could or might occur so that
you can achieve them or avoid them in the future. Note that St. Ignatius
of Loyola anticipated this concept in his Spiritual
Prayer (or contemplative prayer) calls upon inspiration by the Holy
Spirit to reveal and understand unconscious mental conflicts. Note that Catholic
mystics through the ages have had much to say about this.
Dreams [2] can
be interpreted to help you understand emotional
elements of your life that you have not yet recognized consciously. Note that the
Book of Daniel provides a practical example of this, while the Book of Sirach (34:5)
warns us that dreams are not meant to be taken as predictions of actual future
Demons are everywhere, trying to influence
everything. Primarily, they affect our behavior by trying to affect our thoughts, so as
to discourage us and lead us into doubt and despair, and our task is to resist
such temptations. In some cases demons can affect
circumstances, but only with Gods permission; in these cases, our task is to
surrender to Gods will.
Some persons falsely believe that
psychological disorders can be the result of demonic influence.
The truth is actually the other way around. Psychological disorders result from
emotional resentments that have been stuffed away into the unconscious, and then,
if the resentments are especially strong, the anger and hatred underlying them
will attract demons the way blood in the water attracts sharks. Remember a
fundamental point here: demons cannot get into us unless we invite them in,
and one clear invitation is through the door of hatred and
lust. Consequently, prayers of deliveranceand
formal exorcism, if necessarycan help to clear the path for further psychological
healing through psychotherapy. Note well, though, that the demons will keep coming back
as long as there is hatred and lust for them to feed on. To stay free of the demons it
will be necessary to resolve the unconscious resentments underlying the psychological
In the proper circumstances
deliverance prayer or exorcism can be a valuable adjunct to psychotherapy. But keep in
mind that prayereven deliverance prayer cannot cure a psychiatric disorder
because prayer alone cannot reach into the deep unconscious part of the mind that
desires disorder and resists healing. This is why fastingthat is, detachment from
dysfunctional behaviorsmust be added to prayer.
The Place for
Psychotherapy is hard work.
It will often seem counter-intuitive because it does not examine
only what is on the surface of your life. To be able to cure the pain and
confusion of your life, you really have to examine and change what motivates
you to act in ways that cause pain and confusion,
and, for the most part, this motivation is unconscious
and under the surface of your life. Therefore, your true motivation cannot be
examined directly. It must be examined indirectly by digging through all the dirt
and filth hidden under the surface. Its no wonder, then, that most people
fear psychotherapyand fear psychologists.
psychiatric medication has a special appeal to it, an appeal that is seen
more and more today in advertising. Rather than go through all the hard work
of constantly monitoring your feelings, thoughts, and actions, why not feel
better without having to do anything at all? Why change your lifestyle? Just
take some pills a couple times a day and go about your life as
Now, the truth
is, psychiatric medications are generally mandatory for the treatment of
disorders such as schizophrenia and mania. For
other disorders such as depression,
PTSD, anxiety, or
obsessive-compulsive disorder, psychiatric medications
can, in some cases, be a helpful adjunct to psychotherapy. That is, medications
can suppress debilitating anxiety or alleviate your depressed mood such that
you can then feel comfortable enough to do the hard work of
Note carefully,
however, that psychiatric medications are not curative. The medications merely
suppress unwanted symptoms for as long as you take the medications. If
you stop the medications, the symptoms will flourish again in full strength.
But if psychotherapy is used in conjunction with psychiatric medications, the
psychotherapy holds the possibility of a genuine cure by resolving the
deep unconscious issues that lie behind the symptomsand then the
medications can be discontinued.
Putting It
Into Practice
Therefore, in the form of
psychotherapy I practice, and as I describe on this website, you can be
guidedthrough the sacraments, vocal and mental

and the insight resulting from the psychotherapeutic relationshipinto
understanding the roots of your unconscious conflicts; you can learn to identify
the events of life that have wounded you and to understand the emotions
surrounding those events.
That is, its not enough
just to know intellectually what
occurredit is important to feel the pain and then be able to identify
and name the emotions associated with your pain.
This process occurs through
your speaking with your psychotherapist so as to interpret
connections through spontaneous associations to your intellectual memories
and through other techniques, such as
free association and
dream interpretation.
here to learn about the common problems and conflicts
that can occur during the psychotherapeutic process of emotional healing.
Eventually, you can recover a
full awareness of your emotional life that in childhood you learned to suppress
as a psychological defense.
The goal of all
this work is not to blame your parents for what they failed to do
but to get past your hidden resentments
at your parents for what they failed to do, so that you can take full
responsibility for your life and ultimately
your parents and honor whatever good they have
done. Remember, so long as you have unconscious resentment for what your parents
have failed to do it will be impossible for you to honor any good they have
doneand trying to honor your parents without admitting your
unconscious resentments for them is just a lie.
The Reason
for Emotional Awareness
Some persons will say that they
want nothing to do with touchy-feely psychology and will insist
that their lives are quite fine without it. Those who say this, however,
have usually experienced family dysfunctions such as alcoholism, or emotional,
physical, or sexual abuse. In an environment of lying, broken promises, arguing,
and violence, they grew to fear emotions as something
Nevertheless, in order to live
a true Christian lifestyle, everyone, male and female, needs to be able to
manage his or her internal emotional reactions to external events, so as
to remain always in a place of Christian purity of heart. Two common
emotional traps illustrate this.
Lets say that someone says
something critical to you. Your immediate reaction, based upon learned behavior
from childhood, will be to defend yourself. That can provoke more criticism,
and more arguing, until you get so exasperated that you start saying hateful
and vengeful things. And right there you have abandoned purity of heart and
fallen into sin.
Lets say youre on
your way home from work and suddenly you feel a temptation. To stop at a
bar and drink. To use drugs. To shoplift. To stop at a strip club. To get
a massage from a prostitute. To
masturbate. And right there you have abandoned
purity of heart and fallen into sin.
Emotional awareness, therefore,
is a psychological tool that provides protection from sin.
Interpersonal conflicts result from failed emotional communication. Temptations
do not just appear out of nowhere; behind every temptation is an emotional
reaction to some event that has shaken your self-confidence. It is impossible
to stay in the place of Christian purity of heart if you fail to understand
your emotional reactions to the events around you.
Thus through psychotherapy you
can learn to respond to every moment of the present with a complete understanding
of the emotions involvedand this understanding gives you the ability
to respond
and appropriately to the situation.
For example,
if someone says something that hurts you, you can say to yourself, OK.
Im feeling helpless and abandoned. In the midst of these feelings,
you can recognize how you responded
to similar feelings as a child. Then you can choose an appropriate,
non-defensive, mature, and psychologically
response to your current feelings.
But if you
havent done your psychological work, instead of naming your feelings
you will just feel a vague yucky inadequacy and
then get
angry or
go off and drown the yuck with food or drugs or some other dysfunctional
behavior. And the sad thing is that when you drown the yuck you drown the
possibility of forgiveness with it.
Spiritual counseling seeks to,
well, direct a person in ways that bring him or her closer to living a holy
In spiritual counseling you learn
to surrender yourself to total trust in God so that, no matter what occurs
to you, you can bring the pain before God and ask for the strength and courage
to deal, in imitation of Christ, with what needs to be done in any
Because of deep psychological
conflicts, however, many persons find it difficult
to make a total surrender to God, and they discover that education and reasoning
do little to overcome their resistances. In this case, psychotherapeutic
techniques must be used to understand and overcome the
fear that puts up an obstacle to the spiritual
purgation necessary for living a
holy lifestyle.
When I conduct spiritual
counseling, I use the same techniques for working with the
that I use in psychotherapy. Unconscious
conflicts can often result in spiritual
stagnation, so working to understand unconscious
motivation can be a large part of spiritual
counseling. But in spiritual counseling the resolution of such conflicts is
directed toward ever greater trust in God, not just toward the specific relief
of psychiatric
Following the
Spiritual Counsels
Please read my
Spiritual Counsels to learn about the spiritual values
underlying my work.
Many persons ask me, Do
I have to follow all the Spiritual Counsels in
order to consult with you? Well, no, you dont have to
do anything. If you follow all the counsels your healing will be less
complicated, it will take less time, and it will cost you less than if you
dont follow all the counsels. But its all your choice.
Nevertheless, as you read the Counsels,
note the things to which you might object, and this will give you a clue as to the
unconscious sins working under the surface of your conscious
beliefs about yourself. Do you believe that you cannot live without television and movies?
Then you are using entertainment and all of its illusions to fill your emotional emptiness
rather than seeking the fullness of Gods truth. Do you believe that you cannot live
without social media? Then you are using the pride of human fellowship for consolation rather
than seeking a deep prayerful relationship with God. Do you believe that you cannot live
without sexual activity? Then you are using lust to satisfy your anger at God. And
so on. Once you see what is really there under the surface of self-deception, ask
yourself if you are really willing to risk everything, and give up anything, for
the sake of saving your soul. But at least be honest. Many persons, even those who
call themselves devout, really arent willing to do anything it takes to work
out their salvation with fear and trembling.
Spiritual Counseling
For all practical purposes,
spiritual counseling uses the same techniques as
psychotherapy and has some of the same goals as psychotherapy (in that a healthy
relationship with God will produce psychological health), but because I can assume that
a person of faith is not deliberately attempting to hide anything from me, spiritual
counseling can be conducted over the telephone. In fact, the partial anonymity of
telephone work can be quite similar to the anonymity of
Couples and Family
Generally, I do not work with children nor
do I provide couples and family therapy. For clients already established in individual
counseling I have occasionally conducted joint sessions with a spouse or a parent, but my
role in such sessions is simply to be a facilitator of healthy communication.
Cost, Length,
and Frequency of Sessions
My fee is $175 per hour. Sessions are $200
per hour in the evenings (after 6:00pm).
If, because of rising
costs, I have to raise my fee, I will not raise the fee of current clients; but
any client who leaves treatment for more than a month and then decides to return
to treatment will be charged the new fee.
Sessions are usually an hour, but they can
be any length, calculated at $175 per hour (with rounding to the next highest $5) and
a minimium fee of $35.
Sessions can be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly,
or only as needed, according to your personal preference.
Please note that sessions must be scheduled in
and that my schedule does not allow for crisis counseling.
Using Insurance
I do not accept Medicare or any managed-care
plans. If you carry other insurance, please understand that my professional services are
rendered and charged to you, not to the insurance company. This means that you must pay for
each session in full with cash, a check, or a credit card. Then, if you request, I will provide
you with a monthly statement (for a $25 fee per statement) which you can submit to your insurance
company for reimbursement. This statement will include your diagnosis, the procedure code, the
number of sessions, and the amount you have paid me. It will be your responsibility to contact
your insurance company to determine if it will reimburse you under these terms, and, if so,
what percentage of the fee it will cover.
Note, however, that your use of insurance
will breach the confidentiality of your treatment because any employee of the company can
demand the details of your treatment. Furthermore, insurance companies
require a psychiatric diagnosis (which becomes an indelible part of your world-wide
medical record).

1.When prayer is combined with fasting for psychotherapy,
it is important to understand both prayer and fasting in a very specific sense.
In regards to healing, prayer
must be more than standard formal prayers (such as the Rosary); prayer must be an
intimate communication with God as an appeal for deep personal scrutiny (both
psychological insight into past emotional injuries and psychological insight into the
ways current thoughts and behaviors are affected by those past emotional injuries) and
an appeal for the desire and courage to alter dysfunctional life patterns through
a dedicated surrender to, and trust in, Gods will.
In regards to healing, fasting
should be considered to be an act of distancing oneself from anything that is not necessary
for nurturing a state of life governed by total love for God. Hence we can fast from worldly
activities (e.g., entertainment and sports) that bring material pleasure to life but that
actually distract usand often lead us awayfrom an awareness of Gods holy presence in our
lives. In this regard, the most benefit will result from perpetual fasting. (Note that
perpetual avoidance of mortal sin could also be considered a form of fasting, but this sort
of fasting must be considered mandatory for every Christian.)
We can also fast from food and drink that our bodies do not really need
for optimal functioning. In this regard it is important to understand that fasting does not
amount to a ruthless act of merely denying ourselves pleasure from good food; instead, fasting
has two aspects. First, it can refer to cutting back onand even eliminating, if possible
unhealthy foods (e.g., junk foods, sugary foods, processed foods). Second, it can refer to
a selective reduction of the usual amount of food for a limited time, so as to effect a
purging of physiological toxins from the body and also to stimulate a greater awareness of
a spiritual hunger for the presence of the holy in our lives.
2. Note that a traditional Catholic
guide such as the Baltimore Catechism claims that dreams are irrational and
meaningless and should be ignored. But note carefully that this Catechism was
written at a time when the psychology of the unconscious was not scientifically
understood. It just goes to show that scientific knowledgein contrast to
Catholic dogmais always limited to the current culture. If you want to believe
the Baltimore Catechism about dreams you may as well believe that the world is flat
or that the sun revolves around the earth.
3. Be careful not to be deceived by
medical marijuana. Marijuana is an evil substance, and any use of it, for any
reason, opens a hellgate to demonic influence. As politically correct as medical
marijuana may seem, its all a demonic deception.

Condensation in roofs has become more of a problem as we introduce more insulation and eliminate draughts in our homes. It is often linked to older style impermeable roofing felt which has been around since the 1930s although breathable membranes, which were introduced in the 1980s, are not immune in some circumstances.
Both of these materials perform a number of functions:
- To provide temporary weatherproofing to the building before the main roof covering is installed (membranes can normally provide a couple of months of protection to direct exposure to the elements)
- A secondary barrier to rain and snow which is driven under the roof covering by the wind
- Prevent potential pests like insects and birds from entering the roof through small gaps.
Despite its benefits, older style roofing felt can contribute to an unwanted side effect – condensation in the roof which can lead to the rotting of timbers and damp appearing on ceilings. Roofing felt is impermeable to water so it will not allow moisture to escape from the roof.
Breathable membrane does allow water vapour to escape from the roof space but if other circumstances are working against it then it may not be sufficient on its own to prevent condensation.
Nowadays condensation problems are well understood and most new homes are designed with suitable ventilation to prevent condensation occurring. However, in properties 20 to 80 years old this can be a potential problem, particularly with the recent drive to insulate houses by putting thick layers of thermal insulation in lofts and to reduce air infiltration by stopping draughts. The loft insulation means the roof space is colder than before which encourages condensation in the roof. Installation of a wood burning stove has also been cited as a cause as the wood burner seems to provide a "thermal" in the house, helping all the moist air to rise faster.
The warm moist air enters the roof space through gaps in loft hatches or where bathroom plumbing goes through the roof space. When it hits the cold air in the roof space it condenses on the nearest cold surface – the roofing felt. It can be hard to identify the exact spot causing problems as once water condenses it can then run down the rafters and form damp spots away from the original source of the drip.
The solution to condensation in roofs is straightforward. Prevent moist air from entering the roof space and ensure there is adequate ventilation and air flow in the roof space.
Preventing warm moist air from entering the roof space:
- Consider how to reduce moisture in the house with improved extraction in the kitchen and bathroom
- Ensure that the loft hatch has a suitable seal to prevent air rising into the roof space and is well insulated.
- Avoid having gaps in bathroom ceilings and make sure that any shower extractor fan is not discharging into the roof space.
- If you have one, ensure the central heating cold water tank in the loft is covered so no evaporation can occur.
- Consider how recessed lighting in ceilings allows moist air into the roof
Cooking and bathing/showering are some of the biggest culprits for generating moist warm air (as well as people breathing!). It is important to have adequate air extraction in these areas so the moist air is cleared to the outside of the house quickly, rather than being allowed to cause condensation and mould problems.
Kitchen extractor hoods and wall or ceiling mounted bathroom/toilet extractors can play a part. If mould and condensation is a problem more generally then a Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery System (MVHR system) may be worth a thought if a full house refurbishment is being considered. The benefit of a MVHR system is that it recovers the heat from the extracted air and uses it to heat incoming fresh air from outside.
Adequate ventilation in the roof space
- Check that any recently installed thermal insulation has not covered any ventilation holes in the eaves
- If you have enclosed soffits then consider adding eaves vents to improve air circulation (be aware that old roof soffits may contain asbestos though). These can be installed from the outside using a ladder or sometimes internally from the roof space.
- Consider adding some form of roof ventilation. Roof vents which replace tiles can be installed but due to cost this is much better done as part of a re-roof. To add eight vented tiles into a roof space would cost around £650-£700 (made up of 8 x vented tiles @£30 + access tower @£150-£200 + £260 labour ( 1 day for 2 people). To do this as part of a reroof would cost around £250.
On new houses you can often see roof vents installed in the roof. These are generally for extractor fan outlets rather than for ventilating the roof space.
A local roofer will be able can advise on the best steps to take to improve the roof space ventilation and avoid condensation in roofs. Provided safe access to the roof space is available then most of these actions are fairly low cost (under a couple of hundred pounds).

It is hard to believe that school starts back tomorrow. It is going to be a rough morning I'm afraid. My kids have slept til 10-11 AM every...single...day. I can't imagine getting them out of bed and to school on time tomorrow and getting everything else done.
I love the Pick 3 linky, and normally, I'm a bit more on top of my game, but I wanted to join in on the fun. I appreciate that my bloggy friends at Pawsitively Teaching, Inspired Owl's Corner, and Just Reed line this up each month.

Farnborough Football Club have unveiled their top to bottom structure for the club going forward.
Spencer Day and coach Koo Dumbuya will lead the first team in the Blue Square South, after survival was secured on the penultimate Saturday of last season.
There has been a change of personnel within the Reserve Team management, Dave Tidy the former Guildford City and Banstead Athletic manager taking the reins assisted by Leigh Dynan.
Dave had an accomplished career as a goalkeeper, representing Sussex on numerous occasions, whilst on a club level he played for Redhill, Merstham, Three Bridges, East Grinstead, Corinthian Casuals, Godalming, Banstead Athletic, and under Spencer Day at Chertsey Town.
Leigh has extensive contacts within the game both professional and Non League, and has also managed Cobham in the Combined Counties league.
The pair have been tasked with nurturing the young talent coming through the academy structure, whilst incorporating players who have the abilitybto progress through to the first team.
The reserve team will again this season play in the Suburban League
They have been busy arranging a number of pre season friendlies for the Farnborough XI squad, all of these matches will be played away from home.
Saturday 14th July v Cove
Tuesday 17th July v Frimley Green
Tuesday 24th July v Camberley Town
Saturday 28th July v Egham Town
Further games will be announced in due course.
Taking charge of the Youth (Under 18's) will be Keith Hills and Steve Pearman, the youth will play in the Allied Counties Youth League.
Keith is the Chairman of Farnborough Elite, the elite feeder team to Farnborough, and Steve reverts from his role as Reserve Team manager.
The Youth team will be used as an outlet for academy players to play competitive football, but Keith & Steve will be encouraged to supplement those within the academy ranks with talented youngsters not on our educational scheme, who have ability and are viewed as potential first team players of the future.
Koo Dumbuya will manage the academy squad, the club will once again work in partnership with SCL who will provide the academic provision of the scheme.
The club recognises the importance of the academy structure going forward, and also that it has not really optimised its existence in the past, and Chief Executive Steve Duly will be working closely with Koo and SCL to ensure this scheme is delivered in the correct manner.
The academy have applied for entry to the English Colleges Football Association for entry into their league, which will play on Wednesday afternoons.
The club will also work to improve links between the Senior club and Farborough Youth and Farnborough Elite.
Discussions have been ongoing with both clubs, the Youth provide participation for local youngsters under the guise of Farnborough Football Club, whilst Farnborough Elite seek out the best local talent, and it has been recognised that this is a conveyor belt which can enter the academy system, a number of this years academy cohort having come through this route.
The club will underpin their relationship with both clubs by providing complimentary Junior Farney season tickets to all registered players.
The club looks forward to the implementation of these changes and to a succesful 2012-13 season.
