What we did…
After previously completing this customers en-suite they now wanted to update their main bathroom and turn in into a wet-room/shower room.
Once we had removed the old bathroom we underwent making the changes within this bathroom that were needed to create what the customer wanted. Due to the existing position of the soil stack we had to raise the base of where the Shower Deck for the wet room tray in order to get the fall needed. This meant a little bit more time on this project and a lot of wood to build the base up.
Once we built up the frame work for the shower deck we also saw the opportunity to build up some custom storage within the unavoidable boxing needed to hide the pipework. After showing the customer the different options they went for different sized niches, we again built these up and then boarded up.
Once boarded we tanked and then got on to tiling the walls in a Regal Polish Grey tiles supplied from us and boarded the floors, cut in the envelope cut for the wet room area and tiles the rest of the floor. For this the customer chose a Berkeley™ Charcoal Tile which we also set to the back of the niches to make it a feature.
Once tiled we started the second fix alongside building up the boxing which was needed due to pipe positions which we were unable to build up within the wall.
We hope you like the pictures of the finished product as much as we do.

There's a lot to like about the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Jesus' amazing declaration to Martha that "I am the resurrection and the life"; Jesus' poignant weeping with Mary in front of Lazarus' tomb; and of course, Jesus' climactic command: "Lazarus, come out!" And out he walks. Pretty great, right?
Here's the catch: it's Jesus' fault that Lazarus died in the first place.
"I Am Glad I Was Not There"
At the beginning of the chapter (John 11), we learn that Jesus was sent word by Mary and Martha that their brother was sick. They knew that Jesus could heal because they obviously had a close relationship with him and his ministry; Mary was the one who anointed his feet with oil, and in the message Lazarus isn't even mentioned by name. He's just called "the one you love."
The next few verses seem out of place. It's not how you'd expect Jesus to respond:
When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it." Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, and then he said to his disciples, "Let us go back to Judea."
I always catch myself at the word "so." Typically that English word is used to draw a conclusion, but the conclusion here doesn't seem to follow. Jesus loved them, so he immediately left and went to--oh, wait, no. He stayed put. Not only did he stay put, but he clarified that Lazarus' sickness is both for God's and for his own glory. That sounds awful. Since when is Jesus the sort of person who thinks the death of someone he loves brings him glory? And a few verses later, when he's talking to his disciples about going to Judea:
After he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up."His disciples replied, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better." Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. So then he told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."
Not only does Jesus know that his waiting has resulted in Lazarus' death, he actually says he's glad he wasn't there, "so that you may believe."
If that doesn't at least seem a bit callous or harsh, you are probably too familiar with this story.
Looking More CloselyAt this point, some nuance is in order. Jesus didn't cause Lazarus' death; the immediate cause was his sickness. It's also important to see that Jesus didn't actually say that Lazarus' death would bring him glory; a close reading shows that it is Lazarus' sickness that Jesus says is "for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it"; and the idea is probably not that the sickness itself is somehow God-glorifying, but that the whole situation represented by the sickness will cause the truth and glory of God--personified in Jesus, the incarnate Son of God--to be made known more clearly. That's what Jesus seems to mean when he tells his disciples that he's glad he wasn't there "so that you may believe."
The fact remains, however, that the following is true:
1. Jesus could have left immediately and prevented Lazarus from dying, but he didn't, because
2. Jesus was willing to allow sickness that he knew would lead to death to play a role in making his identity, and thus his and God's glory, more fully known, toward the goal of helping his disciples "believe."
Your reaction to these two points is probably dependent on your view of God. If you consider yourself a high Calvinist, this text fits easily with an overall biblical theology in which God's foreknowledge / causation of events that we might view as lamentable or evil is necessitated by your reading of God's sovereignty. If, on the other hand, you are a non-Calvinist, or you believe that Jesus isn't the sort of person who would turn down the opportunity to keep someone from dying for any reason--because if you found yourself in his situation you can't imagine letting someone die to make a theological point, no matter how important--then chances are you minimize a text like this, or attempt to mitigate its force.
The fact remains that Jesus let Lazarus die to make an important point about belief in himself to his disciples (and, presumably, to future generations of Christians).
Following Jesus Means Dying One Way Or AnotherBiblically faithful Christianity always includes the awareness that one's life, health, & death are no longer the most important things in the world. Jesus makes this point elsewhere repeatedly, most famously telling his disciples that following him means to "take up your cross" (Matthew 10, Luke 9, Mark 8)--in other words, prepare to be executed as outcasts because of me. Elsewhere in John Jesus says that a man's blindness was not on account of his or his parents' sin but rather "so that the works of God might be displayed in him" (John 9), which is basically the same thing he says later about Lazarus' sickness and death. Other New Testament writers make similar points all over the place. This helps decenter our ego and recenter us on the priorities of the kingdom, which often don't include things like safety, comfort, and not dying.
At this point you might be wondering: what's your big point? I hesitate to "bring it home" one way or another because my goal is more vague (and perhaps impossible). I just want people to be more interested in who Jesus actually is rather than who they might already think he is. If you want some takeaways, here are some:
- Your life and death do not take place in isolation; they are caught up in bigger purposes about God's glory and belief in Jesus. This calls not necessarily for understanding but rather for faith and joy.
- Jesus believed death and sickness could be used to make his glory more apparent. If your reaction to this is negative, on the one hand that's completely understandable; on the other it means you need to seek Jesus for who he is rather than who you think he is or want him to be. When you do this, you'll see the face of God, and that is always good for you, in the best and most eternal sense of the word "good."
- Grand, sweeping statements about who Jesus is, what God must or cannot be like, need to be passed through specific stories in the Bible like this one before you make them so cavalierly on blogs or twitters or Facebook or wherever.
- However, I don't believe we are biblically permitted to point to specific instances of death or suffering and claim that we understand how they fit into an overall plan. My favorite (short) book-length defense of this idea is still David Bentley Hart's The Doors of the Sea.
If you care about the Bible and believe that Jesus is in fact the resurrection and the life for anyone who believes, let's commit together to remembering that sometimes we don't know Jesus as well as we want to, and the process of knowing him better isn't meant to always be comfortable. Sometimes Jesus doesn't try to prevent people from dying. This doesn't mean he's not good; it means that our understanding of who he is needs to include all of him, even the parts that we don't understand or that make us uncomfortable.
After all, it is Jesus himself who offers new life, not the Jesus we create from our preferences.

8th Sunday in Ordinary Time Mk 2/14-22
It's quite by accident that this Gospel appears on the Sunday before Lent starts, but it is appropriate as a warning that we should not parade our penances for everyone to see and admire. It also tells us at least indirectly that we would be a lot better off and so would everyone who has to put up with us if we complained a lot less.
Keep in touch...
Once upon a
time two couples who lived in empty nests decided to spend a couple of weeks in the desert
during the worst part of winter. They had bright hopes of playing tennis and golf, hiking
in the hills, riding horses, swimming every day an exorcising all the demons of winter
under the gentle warmth of the desert sun. Well, there plane was an hour late landing
because the airport was closed by rain and high winds. That was only the beginning. All
the locals said we really needed the rain for the wild flowers and to avert brush fires.
The visitors held their peace till they heard that for about the fortieth time. One of the
men said they were taking money in the city on the false pretense that it was warm in the
winter. They went hiking one day and found themselves caught in a downpour - with
lightening and thunder. Then they tried horseback riding, but the horses were so
frightened by the snow that they wouldn't leave the stable. The golf course was flooded.
So there was nothing else to grin and bear it and play bridge. The problem with that was
that one of the men was so furious about the bad weather that he spent most of the time
complaining and hence missed several opportunities to make a bid because he wasn't paying
attention. Pretty soon no one was talking to one another. Finally the snow and the rain
and winds ended and the sun came out. It was the last day of their trip.

Chapter Summary of Rich Land, Wasteland
February 28, 2012 – 12:40 am
What I found – the invasion of Australia and the displacement of its people by coal and CSG companies, backed by government; and why I wrote this book.
Chapter 1 Living with open-cuts
Orientation to open-cut mines: the seige of the village Camberwell, Hunter Valley, NSW.
Chapter 2 Rights: theirs or ours?
Mineral rights and royalties: the erasing of the town of Acland, QLD, and the battle for Felton, QLD.
Chapter 3 Where coal is king
The Hunter around Singleton and Muswellbrook, NSW – from a balance of wineries and horses and dairies and rural peace and villages and coal – to COAL.
Chapter 4 What price a life?
Health impacts and costs from coal and coal power: Blackmans Flat, Lithgow region; Singleton and Muswellbrook, Hunter region; Collie, W.A.; Port Augusta, S.A. – pollutants in water and air and soil, PMs and orange clouds, fly ash and mercury, higher rates of respiratory illnesses like asthma, cancers, heart attacks and strokes – and the ongoing fight for health studies.
Chapter 5 Clearing out the country
Mudgee region, NSW: the cleared-out Cumbo Valley and infrasound/low frequency noise (ILFN); the dead and dying villages of Ulan and Wollar; beautiful Bylong under attack; Mudgee's future.
Chapter 6 Dark times in the sunshine state
Queensland's Coral Coast becoming the Coal Coast, heavy industry or World Heritage, short-term coal or long term tourism in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park? – Mackay's Hay Point and Dalrymple Bay coal ports, the disappearing village of Louisa Creek, Bowen's expanding Abbot Point coal port; the inland coal trail – Collinsville, Scottville, Glenden, Moranbah to Capella; donga camps and the fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) and drive-in, drive-out (DIDO) issues as the practice expands, even for dedicated mining towns.
Chapter 7 You can't eat coal
The land rehabilitation myth; Caroona on the Liverpool Plains, NSW; Capella and Clermont on the Darling Downs, QLD – longwall mining, mines on floodplains.
Chapter 8 Wide spaces, narrow vision
The Golden Triangle QLD: food bowls and floods and mines don't mix –'Springwood' vs Xstrata Rolleston, Orion vs Bandanna; Blackwater to Moura; Wandoan to Warra.
Chapter 9 Allowing the unthinkable
The scenic Gloucester Valley, NSW, under current and impending impacts; the Gloucester Project – a gleam of hope; Margaret River and the South West of W.A., fighting one mine or gasfield at a time, lives and investment on hold.
Chapter 10 Who needs water?
Longwall mining damage south of Sydney, to rivers and their swamps and aquifer sources, risking Sydney's water supply; Rivers SOS; subsidence and homes; the threat to the NSW Southern Highlands and the Central Coast, already sinking in parts. Water worries from dewatering and polluting in Collie, WA., in QLD and the Hunter Valley and the Goulburn River; Running Stream, NSW; the Asian takeover of the west; the Latrobe Valley, VIC.
Chapter 11 Putting people last
The exploration drilling nightmare of one woman vs. BHP (NSW); Collie and the shameful Shotts episode (W.A); historic 'Flatlands' (NSW) under double threat; mine workers under pressure; 'solastalgia' and 'soliphilia'.
Chapter 12 Methane on the march
Un-natural gas; 'cleaner' CSG?. QLD: water, salt, health and social issues; underground coal gasification (UCG); Tara blockades and Lock the Gate (LTG). NSW: Gloucester, the Hunter, the Northern Rivers, Narrabri. S.A. and shale gas, W.A. and shale and tight gas; TAS and VIC and CSG.
Chapter 13 Going, going, gone…
The other natural resources – indigenous, historic and environmental… Bimblebox Nature Refuge and the 'opening up' of the Galilee Basin QLD; the Gardens of Stone, Dharawal, Warkworth Sands (NSW) ; the farce of offsets and environmental impact statements; 'our' state forests under siege – Ben Bullen SF; the Gunnedah Basin coal rush – Leard SF – and the CSG fiasco in the Pilliga SF(NSW)
Chapter 14 New frontiers
The Latrobe Valley (VIC), brown coal and coal power, dealing with 'dirty' coal; the Earthworker strategy for a just transition for workers; health issues; coal exploration beyond Latrobe. New treatments of poor coal and higher prices, so massive new export coalfields for Asia in WA, like the Canning Basin up near Derby, and in SA like the Arckaringa and Lake Phillipson areas near Cooper Pedy – environmental disasters?

US Copyright Group
The US Copyright Group (UCSG) is a business registered by the law firm Dunlap, Grubb & Weaver that also operates under the SaveCinema.org moniker. It is engaged in suing people in the U.S. who have allegedly used the P2P file sharing protocol BitTorrent to download certain movies.
The group uses custom software that monitors bittorrent swarms of selected movies, records IP addresses of the file sharers, files suit in order to obtain subpoenas to force ISPs to release the identities of the users, and then sends out letters to these users threatening to sue and offering settlements in the $1,000 to $3,000 range. It works for a number of independent film makers (but not for the Motion Picture Association of America); involved movies include The Hurt Locker, The Steam Experiment, Uncross the Stars, The Gray Man, Call of the Wild, Far Cry, Cornered!, Familiar Strangers, The Expendables, as well as the porn movies Tokyo Cougar Creampies and Teen Paradise 4.[1] The group does not charge up front for its services but takes a percentage of the revenue.[2][3][4]
UCSG began operation in January 2010[1] and by September 2010 it had filed suit against 16,200 people.[4]
The EFF, ACLU and Time Warner have joined forces to try to quash most of the lawsuits. The ACLU and EFF argued that the lawsuits were not closely related and therefore improperly joined, and that it was improper to file all suits in Washington DC even though most of the alleged offenders resided elsewhere. Time Warner argued that it could only handle 28 IP address lookup requests per month. In July 2010, the Washington D.C. District Court judge rejected these arguments, but ordered UCSG, EFF and ACLU to work together to draft notification letters to be sent to the targeted individuals by their ISPs. The letters would inform them about the process and their legal options to fight the subpoena and would have to be approved by the court.[5][6]
Also in July 2010, it was discovered that UCSG had copied parts of its website from a competitor without permission.[7]
In September 2010, the website of Dunlap, Grubb, and Weaver was attacked as part of Operation Payback;[8] they also received an e-mailed bomb threat forcing the evacuation of the office.[9]
A lawyer who sold self-help legal kits for people sued by the US Copyright Group was subsequently sued by the group.[10]
A lawsuit was filed against the US Copyright Group in November 2010, alleging that the group engages in fraud and extortion by offering settlements without full intent to sue and by having falsified a movie's date of first publication, among other things.[11]
A setback came in December 2010: the group had filed suit against 4,577 "John Doe" alleged downloaders of the movie Far Cry in Washington D.C. District Court, but the judge dropped all cases against defendants not known to reside in Washington D.C.[12] However, in February 2011 a Washington D.C. federal judge (who had previously worked as a lobbyist for the RIAA) declined a request to stop issuing subpoenas against John Does.[1]
The business model used by the US Copyright Group has been used before in Germany[2] and by the law firm ACS Law in the UK.[4] (ACS Law went out of business in February 2011[13] and hearings into allegations of professional misconduct of two of its former partners have been scheduled.[14]) Several lawyers in the U.S. working on behalf of porn movie producers have since started to employ the same strategy.[1][15]
In May 2011 a blind man was notified that Imperial Enterprises (represented by Dunlap, Grubb, and Weaver) had filed a lawsuit against him claiming his internet connection had been used to download a porn movie.[1]

Discriminatory Bonus Schemes
An old chestnut which drops onto my desk from time to time is whether an employer can pay a bonus to Stakanovites who never take sick leave? My answer has always been to steer clear of attendance related bonuses because they're probably discriminatory and can encourage bad practice – when you're under the weather with man flu we'd rather you don't come in and let the air handling system spread your germs to all parts of the building!
The Land Registry operated a discretionary bonus scheme under which anyone who was warned about their sickness record became ineligible to receive that year's bonus. Five disabled employees had absences attributable to their disabilities which triggered warnings. They were disqualified from receiving bonus so complained to the Employment Tribunal. The tribunal said this was discrimination in consequence of a disability (S. 15(1) (a) the Equality Act 2010) but was it justified as a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim (S. 15(1) (b))?
No it wasn't. The Land Registry didn't take note of the improved attendance after the warnings and it didn't allow managers' discretion to award the bonus in sickness cases, in contrast to misconduct cases where discretion was permitted.
The Land Registry appealed. Amongst its arguments were that the non-payment of bonus was the result of warnings for absences and the disciplining manager had discretion over the sanction imposed on that occasion. He didn't have to give a warning and this discretion applied in every case whatever the employee's health. In addition the disqualification was done as an administrative action by a member of the HR team who had no knowledge of the disabilities; i.e. a modified Nuremberg defence – he was following orders without allowing his mind to be tainted by knowledge of an individual employee's circumstances.
The EAT dismissed these points in short order. It observed that without their disabilities none of the claimants would have run up absences leading to warnings and that was clearly why the bonus wasn't paid. Also that the discriminator's ignorance wasn't relevant as the correct question was, what caused him to exclude the claimants from the bonus? The EAT acknowledged justification is a balancing exercise but couldn't fault the Tribunal's analysis so the claimants won their bonus and we have judicial authority for a practice which always appeared dodgy.

2020 Public Policy Forum
Whether you have tons of advocacy experience, or none at all, NAEYC's Public Policy Forum is THE place for you to sharpen your advocacy skills and help us move a nonpartisan agenda in support of young children and the early childhood education profession!
As a Public Policy Forum participant, NAEYC members have the opportunity to:
- Be part of a powerful team working to advance federal and state early childhood policy
- Hear from and network with national and state policy leaders and fellow advocates
- Get the resources and experiences they need to be an informed and effective advocate
- Meet with members of Congress and build relationships with their staff and teams
2019 Event Agenda:
The 2019 Public Policy Forum was an important way for us to come together; to be heard on issues critical to early childhood education and educators; to sharpen our advocacy skills, to build our networks, and to strengthen our relationships with representatives on Capitol Hill.
- The event began on Sunday, February 24 at 1:00 pm and continued all day on Monday, February 25 with expert policy briefings, guest speakers, and skill-building interactive breakout sessions for all state team members, providing many opportunities for networking and learning.
- On Tuesday, February 26, members had the opportunity to experience an exciting and energizing Hill Day, building important relationships with Representatives, Senators, and/or their staff.
Take a look at the detailed 2019 Public Policy Forum agenda to learn how we made sure our elected officials knew who we were, and what our children, families, and educators need to thrive!
And if you're on the fence about joining us next year, here's what this year's participants would like to tell you:
- "If you are passionate about early education then your voice is needed at the table when policy makers are listening."
- "Take the leap! It is full of information that impacts all professionals and prepares you for advocating for families, children, and the profession."
- "Policy advocacy and the future success of the ECE field are inextricably linked. This conference helps make the connections and outline the actions that we all need to be taking to ensure that all families will someday have access to high-quality early education opportunities."
- "Absolutely go! Not only will you be inspired and rejuvenated in your work with children but you will learn so much about how our government works and about what is happening around the country."
Check out highlights from past Public Policy Forums:
Interested in participating, but not a NAEYC Member? Join today!
The Public Policy Forum is a members-only function open to current NAEYC members. Take the first step and join the only association that gives you access to information from leading early childhood experts and ensures you will have the tools needed to excel in your job, grow in your career, and stay connected to a professional network of educators across the country.
NAEYC is grateful for the support of its generous sponsors and their participation in the 2019 Public Policy Forum.
"HighScope is proud to sponsor NAEYC's Public Policy Forum and to contribute to the shared voice raising awareness of the importance and impact of early childhood education. We believe in the ability of our collaborative efforts to motivate elected representatives to act on behalf of our nation's children and families — and we will continue working side by side to advocate for the profession and advance the field of early childhood education. We are grateful to everyone who participated in the national conversation on early childhood education."
"TCC Software Solutions was thrilled to sponsor and participate in the 2019 NAEYC Public Policy Forum. NAEYC provided skilled staff, materials and resources to support the state affiliates in their advocacy efforts. I was amazed that almost 300 meetings with legislators took place in just one day. What a tremendous impact this type of coordinated effort will have in our continued mission to increase investments in early childhood education!"
"Teaching Strategies supports policies and practices designed to create a well-funded, high-quality system of early childhood education. As a proud partner of NAEYC's 2019 Public Policy Forum, Teaching Strategies is honored to celebrate the many teachers who serve young children and organizations like NAEYC that energize and advance this vital profession. The Forum was a fantastic opportunity to foster engagement in electoral and grassroots advocacy for early childhood education."
"Electrifying, exhilarating, and encouraging...these are the words to best encompass the essence of the 2019 Public Policy Forum. This year, I had the opportunity to stand with young professionals and veteran teachers, directors, social workers and trainers to advocate for accessible and affordable high-quality early childhood education and care for all children, families, and the dedicated educators who serve them. Their passion was powerful and their confidence in presenting the ask was compelling. From the House to the Senate their voices were heard and powered a movement! Overall, I left the event feeling energized and inspired for an optimistic future that will invest in childcare for all. #PPF19 #ECEwins #Childcare4all"
"The NAEYC Public Policy Forum serves as a reminder of how powerful our collective voices can be when we advocate for our nation's youngest citizens, particularly when harnessed and elevated by NAEYC. We are living in a time when the importance of the early years is more widely known than ever and thanks to all of you, and NAEYC, we have the attention of decision-makers and legislators. This year's Forum was an exciting event where we were able to celebrate great progress and strive together for even more on behalf of children, teachers, and families.
From inception, Bright Horizons has been committed to high quality experiences for children and educators and we are inspired and proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with all of you as our field works together toward common goals and improvements that will truly make the world a better place. Thank you to NAEYC for giving us the opportunity to sponsor this event and their trailblazing leadership and commitment to what's best for children and families."

The New York Times worked with Wikipedia to keep news of the kidnapping of one of its reporters in Afghanistan off the online user-edited encyclopedia, the newspaper reported on Monday.
New York Times reporter David Rohde, who was kidnapped by the Taliban in November, escaped from his captors along with his translator this month.
A number of news organizations, including Agence France-Presse, at the request of the New York Times, agreed not to report the kidnapping out of concerns for their safety.
Keeping the news off Wikipedia was another matter however, the Times said.

ILLUSTRATED, 64-PAGE BOOK BY ROSENSTOCK AND McKESSOCK
AND A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OF ROSS McKESSOCK'S UNDERPASS ALBUM
if you would prefer album + digital book click on the cover below:
18 September 2015.
Underpass, Castle Street, Oxford. Ross McKessock sits, listening, underneath the road sandwiched between City Council offices and the ongoing construction of a new shopping centre. Passers-by encounter him duetting with wheezing buses, heckling onlookers, and the ambient sounds of Oxford. He improvises musically with his upright piano.
It is part of an ongoing artistic practice that has also seen him searching the city's Cornmarket Street with 5-foot-wide home-made antennae, revealing the hidden noise of the high street chains' security systems and cash machines. This electromagnetic induction sonification opens a sonic dialogue with his environment further as he navigates his own territory.
He drags his piano around the city, pulling his audience closer in, encouraging and inviting them to listen. Framing our relationship with this place in a different way, like some sort of clairvoyant, spiritual busker.
10 September 2016.
Glenageary, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. Gabriel Rosenstock composes a series of 40 haiku in Irish and English, in response to an audio recording of McKessock's underpass event. Inspired by the image or trope of Orpheus in the underworld, Rosenstock composes Orpheus in the Underpass, a rensaku or haiku sequence.
This first edition of an ongoing multimedia collaboration explores the shared European identity bound in the mythology of Orpheus.
Orpheus in the Underpass is illustrated with 10 photographs by Ross McKessock and is accompanied by a digital download of Ross's Underpass album.

On December 5, Jon Gunnarsson, Lucian Vâlsan and James Huff, will be going through the news concerning sexual politics on the Old Continent in the last month, covering the last period of 2017 and early 2018.
2018 Anno Domini (or Current Year+3 Anno Trudeau) starts with stunning revelations regarding how sexual offences charges are being dealt with in the United Kingdom. AVfM's friend and partner Mike Buchanan of J4MB warned on this show years ago that the appointment of Alison Saunders as director of Public Prosecutions will have severe negative impact on innocent men. Now we're learning just to what extent this impact is.
In other news, also from the UK, there is a new regulator in town tasked to fine universities who infringe upon students' rights to freedom of expression. Meanwhile, in Ireland, two straight men used the gay marriage privilege to avoid paying inheritance taxes.
In other news, the "experts" at WHO… who also brought us the gender bending insanity… now tell us that playing games is a "mental disorder". Striving to chop off your son's penis is apparently still not a mental disorder.
And in other… other news, Iceland "bans" paying women less. No, really. And in Norway a female pedophile's defense in court is that some bad man taught her. Conveniently, the bad man is dead and can't defend his name.
So the stories discussed tonight are as follows:
Man, 26, who was jailed for four-and-a-half years for rape in 2013 has his conviction QUASHED on appeal after new Facebook messages emerged to support his side of the story
Barrister reveals how she combed through 40,000 texts until she finally discovered 'smoking gun' message at 4am that CLEARED her client of rape – as she slams 'sales target culture' police for failing to declare them
To be happier, women should try giving up on being good
Teach boys ballet and zumba to make PE gender neutral, head of sports organisation says
New universities regulator comes into force
Irish straight best friends marry to 'avoid paying €50,000 inheritance tax' on house
NHS is forced to apologise after a woman having a smear test specifically requested a female only to be met by a pre-op transgender medic 'with stubble and a beard'
Mehr Schweigen wagen
Incest-tiltalt mor skylder på død pedofil
Island innfører lov om likelønn – forbudt å betale menn mer
Gaming addiction set to be recognised as a mental health disorder
The show starts at 7PM GMT (London, Reykjavik and Lisbon time)
That is 8 PM CET (Madrid, Paris, Brussels, Rome, Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Budapest, Berlin, Vienna, Warsaw, Amsterdam, Bern, Bratislava, Prague, Belgrade, Tirana, Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sarajevo and Skopje time)
That is 9 PM EET (Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, Kiev, Chisinau, Bucharest, Sofia, Athens, Ankara and Nicosia time)
That is 10 PM FEET (Minsk and Moscow time)
For the listeners in America this means 2 PM EST, 1 PM CST, 12 PM MST and 11 AM PST.
For the listeners in Australia, this means January 6, 2 AM (AWST) in West Australia and 4 AM AEST.

Whether it is a long-lasting cough, fever or weight loss, people who suffer from "consumption" literally waste away, until they succumb out of weakness to the disease. Therefore, early detection of the disease, either through clinical diagnosis of the symptoms, radiography (x-rays), analysis of sputum samples, or other diagnostic methods, is of utmost importance.
The most common symptoms include increased body temperature, fatigue, chills, weight and appetite loss as well as night sweats. Another potential indicator of tuberculosis is an ongoing, productive cough with phlegm (mucus or yellowish-green sputum) for more than two weeks. If the infection spreads beyond the lungs, the symptoms will depend upon the organs involved. However, the TB infection could also be asymptomatic, where TB patients may display no symptoms at all, which could significantly complicate the diagnosis.
Tuberculosis is diagnosed most commonly through x-ray images and a bacteriologic sputum sample examination. X-ray images can display the inflammation points, i.e. the infiltrates or consolidations and/or cavities ("punctures"), in the lungs seen generally as opacification or bright spots particularly well (see images below). In a sputum sample examination, the sputum is chemically treated so that any potentially present bacteria appear visibly reddish-colored under a microscope. Since a larger amount of bacteria are necessary for this purpose, at times bacterial cultures are also bred in developed countries to determine whether TB bacteria are potentially present in a low density. However, as the breeding of cultures is both cost- and time-consuming – the process usually takes 3 to 4 weeks – it is often skipped in developing countries.
A tuberculin skin test or Mantoux test is often used to determine whether TB pathogens are present in the body as in the case of a latent infection. For this test, tuberculin is introduced into the skin. If a reddish reaction of generally about 10mm in diameter or more surfaces, it suggests that mycobacteria, which includes the TB bacteria, may be present in the body. Non-tuberculosis bacteria and an earlier BCG vaccination can also cause a reaction.
Recently, new technologies such as the GeneXpert system and the PCR assay process have enabled laboratories to detect TB infections – even drug-resistant forms – in less than two hours. However, these systems are still very new and expensive, so their use is not widespread.
For closed cases of tuberculosis, the diagnosis is extremely difficult and often only then based on clinical diagnosis by a doctor and empirical antibiotic treatment.

Rookie second baseman Jedd Gyorko's three-run homer helps Friars top Bucs
Jedd Gyorko began the season at third base for an injured Chase Headley and then transitioned to second base upon Headley's return, and everyone wondered how the rookie would handle it. Gyorko hadn't played second base since his college days at West Virginia, and your prototypical third baseman is there for a reason, generally because of a lack of range.
And then, how does such a move affect the player's hitting? Having to learn to pivot on the double play, shorten your throw to first base, field your position from an aspect of thinking rather than reacting, and learning to hit major league breaking balls all at the same time?
Nothing rattles Jedd. His three-run bomb in the top of the third inning sealed the deal for the Padres and they went on to beat the Pirates 5-2 on Tuesday.
After Gyorko got the Padres the three run lead, the Pirates got two off of Padres starter Eric Stults in the bottom of the third inning. But that was it for the Pirates offensively, as the Padres came back in the fourth inning for a run, and scored again in the seventh inning to ice the game.
Stults went five innings to get the win, then Tim Stauffer followed with two innings of perfect relief, followed by Nick Vincent in the eighth. Vincent is pitching himself into a possible role as future set-up man, and since closer Huston Street is on personal leave to attend to the death of his grandmother, current set-up man Luke Gregerson closed out the ninth inning for the save.
But this game belonged to Gyorko. Jedd was 3 for 5 and made some spectacular plays in the field. He is from West Virginia, attended the University of West Virginia, and had plenty of friends and family on hand to witness his outstanding performance since Pittsburgh is a short hour and a half drive from Jedd's home town.
Honorable mention should go to Ronny Cedeno. Cedeno was signed in early August after being released by the Houston Astros and has filled in well since the 50-game suspension of starting shortstop Everth Cabrera.
Not only has Cedeno's hitting improved under the tutorage of Padres hitting coaches Phil Plantier and Alonzo Powell, his fielding – although it was expected that Cedeno could fill the position defensively with adequate execution – has been much better than expected.
Cedeno went 3 for 4 and made some incredible defensive plays on Tuesday. Other notable offensive efforts include Tommy Medica (2 for 4) and Will Venable (2 for 5). These last games could be promising portents for the 2014 season if the Padres continue their fine run into the end of September.
If you're the visual type and you want a good video recap of the game (including Gyorko's home run), MLB.com encourages you to hit this link:
Kyle Blanks might have hurt himself again, falling flat while attempting to get to a ball hit toward the gap on Tuesday. Blanks stayed in for a couple of innings after the play, but Alexi Amarista came in to start the bottom of the sixth inning for Blanks, which isn't usually considered as a defensive replacement and no double-switch was involved. You'll know when we know.
Wednesday, the third game of the four-game series kicks off at 4:05 PM PDST. Tyson Ross (3-8, 3.29) will take the bump for the Padres while the Pirates will try to right their ship with Charlie Morton (7-4, 3.54) on the hill. Listen in on radio 1090 AM or catch the visuals on Fox Sports San Diego.

In January 2006, after four years and six phases of addition and renovation construction, Duncanville Independent School District will have one of the largest high schools in the United States, with 836,137 sq. ft. under one roof. Duncanville is a suburb just south of Dallas.
While planning for their 2001 bond election, the school district had to address the outdated and overcrowded conditions affecting their campuses. The original high school was 40 years old. Through the years, the campus had acquired 11 different buildings to accommodate its population.
We needed a 21st Century school to support a 21st Century curriculum, says Dr. Jerry Cook, superintendent of Duncanville ISD. Though the district struggled with choosing between one gigantic high school and two smaller ones, the decision was actually made by the community. Dr. Cook explains,The community would not support splitting the high school and the school district must serve its community.
Once the decision was made to stick with one high school, the issue became whether to have a campus plan or to consolidate all functions under one roof. In considering how to best address the growing enrollment and aging facilities, the need to enhance student safety and school security emerged as a primary concern. With so many buildings occupying the existing site, administration was familiar with the challenges of monitoring student activities throughout the campus.
We had to answer the question of how plausible it was to manage security risks in a lot of different buildings, says Mike Elmore, SHW Group project manager.When the answer seemed clear that it was not, student safety concerns led school management to decide on one big school to minimize the number of building entries and other potential security nightmares.
To plan for optimal safety features, SHW Group, the architects for the project, recommended a full Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) review. CPTED is defined as the proper design and effective use of the built environment to reduce crime and the fear of crime, resulting in improved quality of life. A consultant who had previously been president of the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) was brought in to lead the review.
During the CPTED review process, local police, fire chiefs, school district staff, school resource officers, project architects and engineers got together to decide what was needed to control and monitor building access and activities. Due to the limited number of administrators in such a large space, additional security is being provided in the limited number of building entries, complemented by a full surveillance monitoring system with 160 cameras. This system also allows the school principal to tap into the surveillance system from his home via the Internet.
When completed, the building will include over 500,000 sq. ft. of new space and 350,000 sq. ft. of renovation. As the senior project manager for Hunt Construction Group, L.G. White commented, We are literally building all the way around the existing school; not one original building surface will be exposed when we finish construction.
At the west end of the building is a separate ninth grade house with its own classrooms, science labs, gymnasium and cafeteria. The east end holds classrooms, science labs, gymnasiums and a shared cafeteria for grades 10 – 12. In the middle of the building are the areas shared by all grades, including the library, fine arts areas and an extensive career and technical division.
Duncanville High School will open with 3,700 students and has a 4,000-student ultimate capacity. With a budget of $90,300,000, it was recently ranked by Texas Construction Magazine as the 12th largest project to break ground in Texas during 2003.

text: Home : About : History > : Arvid's Blog A Conversation About Resisting Consumerism On May 5, I preached a message about consumerism. For many of us, if not most of us, consumerism is a religion and an addiction. See the message here, Awakening from the American Nightmare: Consumerism and Hungry Ghosts.mp3 I invited members of the congregation to share their success stories about resisting the consumerist ethic to define life as getting things and then throwing them away. One member had a very hard lesson. Her house burned down completely in a fire. She now knows for certain that possessions are not a requirement for happiness. Here is another member: "I identify with the "aversion" aspect of suffering with consumerism. That would be the fear of losing things. Fear prevents risk taking, and will hold a person back from doing something even though the reward out weighs the risk. My tip would be to ask a trusted friend or partner to listen to what you are afraid of losing. They may or may not give you advice, but talking about it may help you confront the fear so you can make a good decision." I like this contribution as well: "I found it rejuvenating to move from 3 bedrooms + family room + 2 car garage into 2 bedrooms with neither (parking spaces but no storage), keeping only a fraction of what I'd had before. It was still too much, and I'm looking forward to donating more "stuff" to the rummage sale. I don't shop other than for food and necessities (I much prefer thrift shop finds to anything at the malls), I don't watch commercial tv (cancelled Cox), I immediately recycle the ads in the Sunday paper, and eat natural foods. My greatest joy is in singing and community, and so I sing in various groups and both are fulfilled at very little cost." Thank you, folks. Let's keep the conversation going.

Things to do with texts
Voertaal: Engels
Over het thema: This theme explores the various developments in both the textual and visual depiction of living nature from the sixteenth to the early nineteenth century.
The beginning of the nineteenth century witnessed a blossoming of the study of nature, resulting in elaborate descriptions of quadrupeds, birds, fishes and plants in often lavishly illustrated books. In this theme, we look at how the relationships between word and image changed due to the development of classification schemes, a growing awareness of the diversity of species, and new technologies such as the invention of the microscope. Such developments are evident in primary textual and visual sources from the period. Within the context of this course printed books, illustrations and other depictions, and letters will be analysed in order to gain an impression of the motivations, practices, views, and discoveries of their authors. Various guest lecturers with different academic backgrounds will offer their take on this. We will also visit various rare book collections and libraries well as collections of preserved plants and animals. This offers students the opportunity to see rare natural historical books and historical objects with their own eyes.

Subscribe To DuckTales Remastered Announced For Consoles Updates
I've already subscribed
The classic NES game DuckTales is making a well-deserved comeback DuckTales Remastered will hit the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U at some point this summer.
In DuckTales, players control tycoon Scrooge McDuck on his search for treasures. He'll travel to far-flung locations like the Himalayas and the Moon in search of these forgotten relics. He'll also tangle with his rival Flintheart Glomgold, the second richest duck in the world.
An aging millionaire duck seems like an unusual hero. However, he's rather sprightly for his age. He can use his cane as a pogo stick to make mega jumps. His cane also doubles as a weapon.
Developer WayForward kept the original levels from the NES version but expanded them to "significantly enhance the gameplay experience." They've also introduced a tutorial level so players can get a handle on the mechanics. The 8-bit graphics have been replaced by hand-drawn, animated sprites and new background art. The remake also introduces voice acting, including some actors from the DuckTales TV series. The soundtrack has been given a "modern twist" but the classic melodies (Moon song!) are still intact.
DuckTales was the first game that my 6-year-old, butter-fingered self could finish. As such, it occupies a special place in my heart. I'm curious to see how much WayForward alters the difficulty in order to challenge the gamers who beat it decades ago. Will nostalgia and leaderboard competition will be enough to satisfy us geezers?

~ Meet Frankie Lou ~
Hi y'all, my name's Frankie Lou McMasters. Recently, I moved back to my hometown of Ruby Springs, Texas, in hopes of giving Betsy a more stable lifestyle than the one we'd had back in Austin. Ruby Springs is located in the windy and usually dry, dusty panhandle of the Lone Star state where winters are cold and summers are hot enough to make a preacher cuss.
I'm divorced, have an almost-twelve-year-old daughter who calls me Mom, and I'm trying real hard to get my life back on track. (That's a whole 'nother story for another time.) As the sayin' goes, that's easier said than done. But I'm determined to put a little joy back in my life and Betsy's with the help of the Joyful Noise singers, a group of misunderstood teenagers who've been left out of their high school music activities because, well, you know . . . they're different. A motley bunch of teens from unhappy family situations and different ethnic backgrounds, their musical talent just knocked me sideways into Sunday. I could sympathize with their plight and wanted to help them. The teens grabbed my idea to form a choral group and ran straight for the gold with it. Their singing rocked the staid community of Ruby Springs right out of its narrow-minded way of thinking. But just when I thought everything was going smoothly, my efforts were thwarted by the discovery of a body in the church baptistery. Suddenly I was a person of interest in a homicide that threatened to put me behind bars. Now I ask you, do you really think I'm capable of murder? I was singing the blues until my tune changed from sad to happy when the real killer was found. Hallelujah for music!
And speaking of music -- have you ever noticed how the power of music can alter a person's mood? Does music affect you that way? Do you have happy songs to boost your spirit when you're feeling low? The Joyful Noise singers are working on a list of songs to add to their stage performances and they need your help. They don't have many on their list and would like to know what songs make YOU feel happy. They're looking for a mix of country, pop, soul, rock 'n roll, gospel music – any type to show that being "different" doesn't always mean it's wrong. Can you help them out?
Songs That Make You Feel Like Tapping Your Toes:
1. Happy – Pharrell Williams 5. Singing in the Rain – Gene Kelly
2. Joy to the World – Three Dog Night 6. Shout – The Isley Brothers
3. You Are My Sunshine – Elizabeth Mitchell 7. The Sweet By and By – The Statler Brothers
4. Footloose – Kenny Loggins 8. A Place in the Choir – Celtic Thunder
Thanks for your help! Hope you enjoyed meeting me and reading all about BRINGING IN THE THIEVES.
See you in the book! ~ Frankie Lou (who sometimes pretends she's Lora Lee)

Bringing in the Thieves (Joyful Noise Mysteries – Book One)
Frankie Lou's back and Poppy's madder than a wet hen.
Create a church choir filled with teenage misfits?
Over Poppy's dead body.
Minister's daughter Frankie Lou McMasters has come back to Ruby Springs, Texas with her daughter, Betsy, eleven years after running off to marry the town bad boy. Her mild notoriety as a bad girl is prime gossip for her childhood enemy, Poppy Fremont, now choir director of Faith Community Church–where Frankie Lou's daddy, now retired to Florida, was the preacher.
When Frankie Lou comes to the deacons with a request to add a youth choir of at-risk teens she's been coaching, Poppy throws a fit. A few hours later, Frankie Lou finds her dead in the baptistery pool. And Poppy's not playing possum.
Frankie Lou sets out to clear her name as the main suspect, and tries to locate the real killer. Could he be sexy Joe Camps, the father of one of her teen singers? In the meantime, her momma shows up from Florida to take charge of Frankie Lou's life. Bless her heart.

My well-meaning landlady, Nettie Bloom, had decided to announce my proposed church project without asking me if I wanted her to. I had just scheduled a meeting with the deacons about it, not given them any details about the idea. I hadn't spoken it aloud to anyone but Miss Nettie. But now there it was in print, along with Miss Nettie's usual assortment of misplaced phrases and Mrs. Malaprop word choices. Miss Nettie had been editing the church's newsletter, News From The Pews, for a good many years, but I'd noticed her memory getting a little tangled lately.
100 Blessings St.
Ruby Springs, Texas
As we wait for the selection of a full-time pastor, we welcome back interim minister, Reverend Matthew Whitlaw to the pulpit next Sunday at Faith Community. His morning sermon will be Jesus Walks on Water followed by Searching for Jesus in the evening.
For those of you who have children and don't know it, we have a nursery downstairs.
Members of the Weight Watchers group will meet Monday at 5:30 P.M. for weekly weigh-in. Please use large double door at the side entrance to the annex. The Low Self-Esteem Support Group will be using the back door.
Prior to prayer meeting Wednesday evening a bean supper will be held in the church hall. Special music will follow.
Until further notice, please give massages to the church secretary, Lovey Muchmore. She will then give massages to the newsletter editor who will share the details in our newsletter.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: A NEW CHOIR FOR TEEN SINNERS IS BEING FORMED AND WILL COMPETE IN THE SLUMBER FUN AT THE CITY PARK NEXT MONTH. For more information on sinning contact Frankie Lou McMasters at Doc Adderly's Animal Clinic.
Prayerfully submitted,
N. Bloom, Newsletter Editor
Truth be known, there were certain people who weren't exactly thrilled by my return to the town where my daddy, Reverend Frank Birmingham, occupied the pulpit at Faith Community before his recent retirement to Florida. I'd been gone from Ruby Springs eleven years, but it seems those certain people have the combined memory of a herd of elephants. One in particular: Poppy Rose deHaven Fremont, Faith Community's choir director.
I grabbed my tote, made a quick call next door to Miss Nettie's house, where my eleven-year-old, Betsy, was staying for dinner, then headed for the church. It was a hot spring night and bound to get hotter.
Help me, Lord, Miss Nettie and that newsletter are gonna get me killed one way or another.
The unexpected appearance of Poppy Rose deHaven Fremont in the church's conference room confirmed what I'd feared all along. My notoriety as the shamefully irreverent preacher's daughter hadn't been forgotten, even after an absence of more than a decade. Any hope of getting the deacons to approve my request had just been deep-sixed. Well, horse pucky!
There she was, the Queen of Mean, flapping her collagen-plumped lips faster than a whipporwill's tail in a windstorm while seven deacons stared in wide-eyed amazement.
I shook my head in disbelief. What in the heck had she done to herself? Those puffy lips weren't the only recently enhanced body parts, either. Poppy Rose was a walking, talking endorsement for the modern wonders of plastic surgery and extreme weight loss. My monthly house rent couldn't begin to touch the high-dollar cost of that hot pink linen skirt and knit top clinging to her curves closer than a coat of paint from Howard's Hardware. Talk about extreme makeover, her body had been nipped and tucked in places I didn't even want to think about. Yikes!
A brief, but uncomfortable, sting of envy zapped me so hard I could almost hear momma saying, "Pretty is as pretty does, Frances Louise." A die-hard fan of Downton Abbey, she never called me Frankie Lou when she was in her Lady Louisa mood.
Poppy Rose teetered toward me on nose-bleed high stilettos, her over-enhanced boobs leading the way.Oh boy, here it comes, I thought, wondering if escape was possible. Had she seen the bulletin?
"Well, Ah declare, Frankie Lou." Her words dripped so much toxic sweetness it made my teeth ache. "Here y'all are, stirring up trouble just like old times. You haven't changed a bit, bless your heart." She smiled, the bright flash of Hollywood-white teeth threatening to blind me on the spot.
I flicked a wayward strand of my straight black hair behind one ear. Now, truth is, I don't give a horse'spatoot about fashion, but does Starbucks know she's got her Texas-big hair whipped up like a mocha latte with caramel swirls?
"Why, hello, Poppy Rose," I said, sucking in my tummy and sticking out my 34B girls like they were Double Ds. Hey, I have my pride, but there's no way I would ever let anyone slice and dice my body for the sake of "perfect."
According to Miss Nettie, Poppy Rose married into big money three years ago after meeting her future husband on a singles cruise. Miz Parvis Fremont turned her brand-new wealth into a mighty fine shopping career.
The impressive Fremont mansion and its extravagant interior adornments is the town's only claim to fame. Miss Nettie said Poppy Rose consulted a designer from Italy for the elaborate decorating, and the place got written up in some big architectural magazine. That bit of information teased my curiosity, but I'm not likely to ever be invited to the Ruby Springs' wonder home. In the first place, I wasn't even invited to the nuptials. Wouldn't have gone anyway, since the ceremony took place during my prolonged self-exile in Austin. I understand that show-of-the-century shindig cost a cool half-million dollars, all paid for by the groom, of course. There was even actual dancing at the reception over at the town community center, something never done before in Ruby Springs. Yes indeedy, Poppy Rose finally snagged herself a wealthy spouse. Kind of sad he died so soon. Or was it? Looking at her now, I'd say she wears her hot pink widow's weeds just a little too perky.
Author Bio ~
You can't be a preacher's kid and raise a little hob without some serious repercussions. Yes, ma'am, that's the gospel truth. Lora Lee's JOYFUL NOISE mystery series for Bell Bridge Books, sheds a little light on just how serious those consequences can be when Frankie Lou Birmingham McMasters returns to her hometown of Ruby Springs, Texas after ten years in hopes of putting some shine on her tarnished reputation, but finds herself in the middle of murder and mayhem instead.
Though author Lora Lee insists the series isn't about her in any way, shape or form, she does admit to being a real-life P.K. (that's preacher's kid, in case you didn't know.) She was born in Texas and her Southern blood runs deep. Her daddy told her any place below the Mason-Dixon line was part of the South, including the Lone Star State.
Since living in West Michigan most of her married life, she's lost some of her Texas twang, but once in awhile, a might could and a y'all or two slips into her conversation with her critique partners. They love her, anyway. So does her husband of fifty-plus years and their children. With a current family count of twenty-three, get-togethers often resemble an old time revival when they all gather for fun and food.
Lora Lee is a member of Romance Writer's of America, Mid-Michigan RWA, Sisters-in-Crime, RWA's specialty chapter Kiss of Death and is currently published in contemporary romance. She is also a proud graduate of the Grand Rapids Citizens Police Academy.
When not writing or trying to keep up with her ever-growing family, she enjoys reading, music and travel.

These are good times for the Denver Nuggets. The squad is playing team basketball, and the results have been breathtaking at times: Witness last night's 132-93 dismantling of the Toronto Raptors. No wonder Carmelo Anthony is so gleeful in an interview with YoungHollywood.com held at the November 20 launch party for his newest shoe, the Jordan Melo M5. In the clip, Anthony still seems a little conflicted about the departure of Allen Iverson, but he rightly praises Denver's own Chauncey Billups, who has transformed the Nugs in mere weeks. As for the disappearance of his cornrows, he explains by rubbing his head and declaring, "Obama 2008." Click below to see the video, as well as bonus footage of Raptors star Chris Bosh looking shell-shocked over the shellacking his team suffered at the Pepsi Center a few short hours ago. -- Michael Roberts

I took my father's girl friend (GF) over to his new memory care home (newMCH) today. He is not adjusting well. His mental acuity is perhaps improving which is causing angst--his angst and my angst. I wonder how many times during our visit today that I fantasized about not coming there anymore. Does that sound harsh? Let me elaborate:
When I got to the newMCH, my father was loaded for bear. This was the conversation during the first five minutes of arrival:
"I have been thinking. You are not going to like what I have been thinking. I think we should check out of here and we should go to the place that you go to." (translation=my house)
"No, that is not going to work. You can't handle the stairs in our house."
He flashed a quizzical look and turned to GF and said "I have been thinking. I would like you to be my wife. Will you marry me?"
Her response was "yes." GF is a wonderful woman but is not at 100% mentally and she is lonely since my father left the independent living center. Plus she would never want to hurt my father's feelings.
I was now just a helpless bystander, trapped in a 300 square foot apartment/bedroom while they sat in the only two chairs in the room and I sat on the side of the bed. He told her that he would move back to the independent living center and share an apartment with her. No "problema" seemed to be the tone of their conversation. They smooched and held hands. He turned to me and told me to arrange the wedding. I calmly told both of them that he has been dismissed from the independent living center ("kicked out" I tell him repeatedly--probably about 75 times in the last month. He does not comprehend that aspect of his life.)
"Why? I pay my bills on time and I have a good credit rating."
"You get lost and they told you that you had to leave."
"I don't get lost. I never get lost. I find my way perfectly well."
"They kicked you out."
"I am a person of good character. I live perfectly well. I don't need any help. I have never beaten my wife. I need GF to do my laundry. You get it set up."
This conversation occupied the better part of two hours, in between periods of hand holding and more smooching. As I sat on the bed, I pondered the possibilities. I am his guardian. I believe that in order for him to get married, I would have to sign the application for the marriage license. He has no legal rights any more.
He said to GF: "I want you to be my guardian. There is no one I trust more than you." Isn't that odd? He wants to remove me from being guardian and I doubt very much that he remembers that I was made his guardian.
You know, it would have been easier if GF had not just meekly nodded her head in affirmation every time he asked her to marry him during the two hour episode. I told her that she would have to arrange everything with the independent living center. She said that she would do it tomorrow.
I moved him two times in 30 days. I am not going to arrange a wedding, move him back to the independent living center, stock up on adult diapers, and buy him a new wedding suit in the next 30 days. He is going to have to figure this one out all by himself.
Life after inflammatory breast cancer is filled with tennis and stupid surgeries! It's all good.
