The Caterham Seven RST-V8 is the ultimate Caterham, with a power to weight ratio of over 1,000 bhp per tonne, more than double that of a Bugatti Veyron.
In the engine bay of each RST-V8 is a 2.4 litre 40 valve V8 by RS Performance, which puts out 380 horsepower at a sky high 10,000rpm and 258Nm of torque at 8,500rpm in normally aspirated form. This sounds like it's half way on the way to being an F1 engine, which typically puts out over 700 horses and topping out at 19,000rpm. The V8 is mated to a 6-speed sequential paddle shift gearbox with an LSD.
A version of the engine supercharged at 0.8 psi (0.05 bar) produces 500 horsepower, with 406Nm of torque at 8,500rpm. The supercharged variant of the Caterham RST-V8 is called the "Levante", and only 8 units will be available. Each vehicle comes with a two day driver training course, as this machine is not your run of the mill fast car.
0 to 100km/h with the 500 horsepower engine takes less than 3 seconds, and has traction control and launch control to help harness all that torque pushing a car that weighs just over 500kg.

Tell the IAAF to stay out of Caster's pants!
Dear Friend,
Have you heard the news about Caster Semenya, the champion South African runner?
She's got the world's attention, but it's not about her athletic ability – it's about who she is, and who gets to decide her gender.
XX – why?! Why does Caster have to endure invasive tests just because she looks different? Why does the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) get to decide who she is?
I'm outraged. Are you? Then tell the IAAF to stay out of Caster Semenya's pants:
Sign the National Sexuality Resource Center's XX-Why? petition now.
Now, if you want some uplifting news about Caster - South Africa's President Zuma has reminded her to "walk tall" in this Sports Illustrated news story (of all the places...).
Briefly - and this should be given the space it deserves - as much as this uproar over her identity is clearly misogynistic and transphoic, I have yet to see someone point out the inherent racism in the charge. Black women are at a particularly difficult spectrum of femininity where racialized gender policing informs that too feminine gives in to the stereotype of the Jezebel/Welfare Queen/Tragic Mullatta and too little femininity brings us to the point of not recognizing multiple identities and beginning to believe Moynihan Report fantasies about masculine Black women taking over the world.
There is an inherent fear in not being able to correctly gender a stranger, and there is an even larger fear in being a white person who can not correctly gender a Black woman.

Latex Ball TONIGHT in NYC
239 WEST 52nd STREET
The Latex Ball is held by GMHC and co-sponsored by many many organizations - most of whom focus on issues prevalent in communities of color and LGBTQ youth such as the Ali Forney Center, Audre Lorde Project, APICHA, and many other New York City queer organizations. The Latex Ball is also presented by Ballroom CARES!, a partnership between the House and Ball Communities and service providers. It's a wonderful partnership that has as little judgement as is possible and promotes health and well-being. Ballroom CARES! program provides leadership trainings, empowerment workshops, and community events and activities, to support community networking, community mobilization, and to promote a healthy community.
I can say from my interactions trying to provide healthier and safer spaces to LGBTQ youth that having a sense of community drastically affects your sense of self and your ability to participate in a community. If you know that a core group of people who represent your values and experiences are caring about your health then you're going to be less likely to see incredibly risky behavior as worthwhile. Which is why Ballroom and House Communities have lasted so long - since at least the 1920s if not before! They give folks who have been kicked out of their homes, been kicked out of emplyment spaces, welfare offices, public parks, families, etc a space where they can be in all their fabulosity, tears, and strength. If you want to get involved you should email Luna Legacy at lunao at gmhc.org or Dominique Prodigy at dominiquec at gmhc.org
Submit! Gender Outlaw 2
Gender Outlaw 2: Call for Submissions
Call For Submissions
Kate Bornstein & S Bear Bergman, eds
Deadline: 1 September 2009
In the fifteen years since the release of Gender Outlaw, transgender narratives have made their way into cultural locations from the margins to the mainstream and back again. Today's trannies and other sex/gender radicals are writing a radically new world into being. GENDER OUTLAWS: THE NEXT GENERATION (Seal Press) will collect and contextualize the work of this generation's most forward-thinking trans/genderqueer voices—new voices from the stage, on the streets, in the workplace, in the bedroom, and on the pages and websites of the world's most respected mainstream news sources. Edited by that ol' original Gender Outlaw herself, Kate Bornstein and writer, raconteur, and theater artist S. Bear Bergman, GENDER OUTLAWS: THE NEXT GENERATION will include essays, commentary, comic art and conversation from a diverse a group of trans-spectrum people who live and believe in barrier-breaking lives.
*What we're looking for*
GENDER OUTLAWS: THE NEXT GENERATION wants to collect work that represents a quantum leap forward in thinking and talking about gender and the gender binary, in the same way Gender Outlaw did almost twenty years ago. So blow us away. Bring the smart, bring the sexy, blind us with science, break the gender barrier, shine a bright light (or a disco ball) on the whole gender situation. Tell us about your future, what you imagine, how you want things to go and what you (and your friends) intend to do about it. Think big.
We'll look at whatever you have for us – essays, graphic art, interviews/conversations, haiku, rants – as long as you're thinking smart and fresh about sex and gender (and being an outlaw, of course). We will feel especially keen about your work if it adds to or advances the conversation about gender (as distinct from simply reflecting it, or lamenting it).
People of any identity are encouraged to submit work. This means you – yes, you!
We intend to privilege non-normatively gendered/sexed voices in the book but will include all the good stuff we can, regardless of current identifiers of the author.
*The Details*
Deadline: Sept 1 (early submissions are encouraged). Submissions should be unpublished; query if you have a reprint that you think we'll swoon for. While we hesitate to list a maximum, please query first for pieces over 4,000 words. If you have an idea and need help writing it out, contact us to discuss an interview-style piece or other accommodations.
Submit as a Word document or black/white JPEG (no files over 2MB). Please include a cover letter with a brief bio and full contact information (mailing address, phone number, pseudonym if appropriate) when you submit. Submissions without complete contact information will be deleted unread. Payment will be $50 and 2 copies of the book upon publication in Fall 2010. Contributors retain the rights to their pieces. Send your submission as an attachment to firstname.lastname@example.com.

'Medium' scoop: Creator promises tearful goodbye
Image Credit: Mitchell Haaseth/NBCMedium creator Glenn Gordon Caron promises "complete closure" when the CBS drama starring Patricia Arquette ends its seven-year run on Jan. 21. He also offers this exclusive teaser about the final episode, which began taping last week in Manhattan Beach, Calif: "It takes place in the present, it takes place seven years after that, and then it takes place 40 years after that."
The entire ensemble will participate, but don't look for surprise visits. "It's not like Captain Push is coming back or anything," says Caron, in reference to Arliss Howard's character who was the first member of law enforcement to learn that Arquette's character could foresee events and talk to the dead.
Something things had to occur in the finale, however. "We have to be intelligent, and we have to startle."
Will he make fans sad, too? "I know for certain that people will tear up," says Caron.
The creator confirmed via Facebook last month that CBS canned the drama. The network cut the episodic order on Medium from 22 to 13 in October. The drama averages 7.1 million viewers.


text: This week on In Conversation With, we have the one with the Beard. Ross and his Beard (yes, it deserves a capital letter, since the Beard is as famous as Ross is and you will soon see why) are quickly becoming very popular in the blogging community. I was chuffed to have met up with Ross at the Irish Blogger Agency launch in September, having chatted with him on twitter for the last couple of months. It's always great when the online world aligns with the real world and I'd like to think that we're now blogger buds! Ross blogs at The Stented Papa, a fantastic and popular Irish Papa Blog. Ross has had an interesting route into becoming a Stay at Home Dad which he shares with us here. His values and opinions on parenting and fatherhood are refreshing and I just know you'll enjoy reading his interview today.

JBoss lightens up its next generation platform
Red Hat introduces new programming platform for upcoming next generation JAVA applications. Red Hat's three new products target diverse web applications in the multiple JAVA formats. This new platform will be able to communicate in various programming language versions.
Red Hat laid out a future strategy for JBoss that is intended to provide a single platform for a variety of programming and deployment models, and announced three products for its next-generation Java application server portfolio. The three products are aimed at three different workloads: from simple web applications, to light and rich Java applications, to Java Enterprise Edition (EE) based applications
"The marketplace today has spawned a variety of alternatives [to the Java EE programming model]; the new languages and frameworks are all driven to simplify application development," said Craig Muzilla, vice president, Middleware, Red Hat Inc. "Java EE does not address this variety—it's too heavy and complex. On the other hand, many of the emerging container technologies don't have a full set of enterprise services that companies would come to expect in deploying large-scale applications."
For example, he said, organizations may start with alternative application server stacks like Tomcat of OSGi, which are lightweight and make it "easy to write simple applications and manage and deploy them quickly." However, he said, when those organizations scale up to more complex applications that need security or messaging and start to pull in those services from various sources and glue them together in an ad hoc manner, they "have to support an explosion of complexity."
JBoss Open Choice is Red Hat's vision for its next-generation Java platform. The JBoss Microcontainer, the new application platform architecture, isolates core enterprise-class platform services from the variety of containers and frameworks available, and is at the heart of Red Hat's three new tiered offerings.
According to Dr. Mark Little, CTO of JBoss, the company has "reachitected the application server around a microcontainer—it's a natural evolution of the microkernel. It supports natively JMX, OSGi, POJO; you will be able to deploy onto the new architecture as is. It will just run and the microcontainer can glue all the disparate models together seamlessly."
He continued, "Above the microcontainer is the core enterprise services, what we call the next generation of application servers. It allows us to future-proof our customers going forward. The different workloads we've seen today may not predominate in 2-5 years time, and the architecture will allow us to evolve and adapt without having to reimplement."
At the high end of the application server offerings is JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.0 for highly transactional applications, utilizing the Java EE programming approach. For midsize workloads, JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.0 is a lighter-weight version for rich Java applications that also provides enterprise features for clustering, caching and simple Web services. And targeting simple Web applications is JBoss Enterprise Web Server 1.0.
In addition, the new JBoss Web Framework Kit includes enterprise-class versions of Google Web Toolkit, RichFaces, Spring Framework and Struts. Future versions are expected to include additional rich application frameworks.
Red Hat's Muzilla said he expects most customers to gravitate toward the second tier—short of the full EE but providing a needed a number of services. Most of the services offered will be based around Java EE, Muzilla said, but management is an example of something outside the spec. "There is no JEE spec for management per se, so how you manage and deploy the configuration are services outside of the JEE spec."
Muzilla said the new architecture, which was under way before Oracle announced its intentions to acquire Sun, will provide flexibility for customers in an uncertain future. "We are confident Oracle will stay committed [to Java and Java EE], but if Java EE migrates in a different direction this will protect customers from changes that might take place. We just don't know how the industry will shake out, so it provides some sense of protection."

That's right. The need for immunizations doesn't end with childhood. Each year, thousands of adults in the U. S. suffer serious health problems, are hospitalized, or even die from diseases that could be prevented by vaccines, including influenza, whooping cough, certain bacterial infections, hepatitis A and B, shingles, and even some cancers such as cervical cancer and liver cancer. Talk to your doctor today to find out which vaccines are recommended for you.
Most people don't realize that adults need immunizations, too. While many recognize that a flu vaccine is recommended every year, few adults are aware of the need for other vaccines to help protect their health.
Protection from some childhood immunizations wears off over time, leaving you vulnerable to disease. For example, there has been a rise in cases of whooping cough in the last few years, with over 48,000 cases being reported in 2012. We have learned that the protection from DTaP whooping cough vaccine given to children doesn't last into adulthood, so all adults are now recommended to get one dose of Tdap whooping cough vaccine if they did not receive it as an adolescent.
Adults may be recommended for certain vaccines due to their age, job, hobbies, travel, or health condition. Other vaccines may be recommended if they didn't get certain vaccines as children.
Some adults, including older adults and those who have chronic health conditions, may be at higher risk for serious complications from some vaccine-preventable diseases. For example, because older age increases the chance of getting shingles, CDC recommends that adults get the shingles vaccine once they turn 60 years old. People with diabetes, heart disease, and COPD or asthma, even if well managed, are more likely than those without these conditions to have complications from the flu. To prevent possible complications like pneumonia, people with these chronic conditions should get a pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine in addition to a yearly flu vaccine.
Adult immunization is necessary because it not only protects the person receiving the vaccine, but also helps prevent the spread of certain diseases to loved ones and those in the community who are most vulnerable to disease (like those with weakened immune systems and infants).
Getting vaccinated is an important step we can take to protect ourselves and loved ones from vaccine-preventable diseases. Yet, too many adults-perhaps even you-are not up to date. Talk with your doctor to find out which vaccines are right for you.
For more information on vaccines or to take an adult vaccine quiz to find out which vaccines you might need, go to www.cdc.gov/vaccines/adults/index.html. The Erie County Department of Health has vaccines available to non-insured persons of any age. Call 814-451-6777 for more information. National Immunization Awareness Month, which occurs every August, is a reminder that we all need vaccines throughout our lives!

Kiri Conneely, age 20, of Rochester, was transported to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital as a result of a traffic accident that occurred early Sunday morning.
At approximately 8:30AM, Rochester Police and Fire Departments responded to the intersection of Gonic and Gear Road for what was originally called a head-on collision.
Further investigation revealed that a black, Dodge Ram pickup, operated by 28-year-old Crespo Rivera of Manchester, NH, was stopped while turning onto Gear Road.
Coneely was traveling north-bound on Gonic Road when she struck the rear of Rivera's parked truck. She was quickly transported to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital as a precaution, and received only minor injuries.
No one else was injured in the collision.

Best Single Malt Scotch Whisky - Aged 15+ Years - 2013
The Tasting:The Fifty Best held a "blind" tasting of 6 premium single malt scotch whiskies with a dedicated group of 20 pre-qualified judges. Strict tasting rules were applied. The order of service was established beforehand by lottery. Each of the single malts were poured into fresh glasses from new sealed bottles, and served at room temperature. Only ice water and unflavored rice crackers and bar snacks were available to cleanse the palate. The judges wrote down their impressions of each product on score sheets. The scoring was done on a 5-point system, with 5 as the best. Medals are awarded according to a pre-established range of final point scores received from the judges.Never in our history of spirits evaluations were the comprehensive scores as high as in this particular tasting. It is directly indicative of the overall high quality of the single malt whiskies that were sampled. Only Double-Gold and Gold medals were awarded, no silver or bronze. It was unanimous by the judges that all of these single malt scotch whiskies deserved high praise.The tasting notes that follow are summaries of the judges' opinions, with all replicated commentary eliminated.

Research Group - Natural Resource Social ScienceFacilities - Natural Resource Social Science LabRelated Centers - Center for the EnvironmentPurdue Extension - FNR ExtensionNatural resources in Indiana and elsewhere are increasingly threatened by human pressures such as land use change, climate change and water pollution. My research, teaching and engagement cumulatively address these human threats with a particular focus on understanding how to encourage more people to become engaged in environmentally friendly behaviors. I use both qualitative and quantitative methods in my research and frequently use techniques such as surveys, interviews and focus groups.
Dr. Prokopy collaborates extensively with scientists across Purdue and co-leads a regional project to develop social indicators to measure the effectiveness of projects that try to minimize non-point source pollution. She conducts social evaluations of watershed projects in Indiana and also has a number of competitive grants that use social indicators to improve the outcomes of water projects.

The latest installment of a reoccurring feature of GuestWomb where my daughters Emma and Sara get together on a Facebook chat about the topic of the day. Today the teens share a few thoughts on the current state of affairs:
So now that Mom has only two months to go, I'm a little less weirded out by her pregnancy. Maybe it's because soon it will be over or something. What about you?
i think shes transformed into a beautiful butterfly….with the baby in all…
sara seriously
hahaha she doesnt act pregneant, well except the excessive crying, she still shovels snow and takes a hammer to knock off tile for the bathroom to redone and such.
she reaaaally shouldnt do that
Yeah, putting extra stress on herself and the baby is probably not good. But what about now that she's showing?
what about it?
well, the whole baby kicking thing is so freaky!! I never really thought about the baby so much as mom just going through the pregnancy, but now that you can actually feel it, it's much more real.
agreed, i dont think of it as weird..
Why not?
i actually support her through this, and so at the beggining i thought this was another one of her little imaginations that would never go through, but its really happening and i dont even think of this as uncommon how bout you?
I still think it's a little strange. I mean, I'll say to my friends something about mom being pregnant, they say, "Congrats!" and then I tell them its not hers, and a lot of them dont get it.
a lot of people dont get it
haha same!

This week, we defend Slytherins and we are definitely humans. We also help Cassie figure out what to do with her ex.
This Week's 3-Card Tarot Reading
The Past: EIGHT OF CUPS | The Present: KNIGHT OF COINS | The Future: KING OF SWORDS
Our advice: You've recently walked away from something you'd invested a lot of energy in…your relationship (Eight of Cups). We get why you'd ask if you can be friends with your ex. You've built that relationship from scratch, and now it's gone. But right now, it's time for you to focus on being a better version of yourself (Knight of Coins). Don't think about your ex or any other potential relationships really. Instead, use your intelligence to focus on what needs to be done. You know what the smart choice is (King of Swords). We all do!
So, can you be friends with an ex? Technically, yes. Should you? We're not so sure (and neither is the tarot).
The Card of the Week
This one comes from the Golden Tarot of the Renaissance by Giordano Berti and Jo Dworkin.
Tarot Card of the Week: Knight of Wands
Keywords: Adventure
This week, new passions will be revealed to you. Be on the lookout for them, and when you find them, pursue them with wild abandon. Have some fun and experiment.

How to Create a Memory Garden
Explore this Article Choosing Your Land Decorating the Space Making Nature Symbolic Ask a Question Related Articles References
This article was co-authored by Lauren Kurtz. Lauren Kurtz is a Naturalist and Horticultural Specialist. Lauren has worked for Aurora, Colorado managing the Water-Wise Garden at Aurora Municipal Center for the Water Conservation Department. She earned a BA in Environmental and Sustainability Studies from Western Michigan University in 2014.
A memory or memorial garden can be a thoughtful tribute to someone who has passed away. It can serve as a quiet, reflective place where you can go to be comforted and inspired. A memory garden can enrich your life by allowing you to have somewhere to feel at peace as you remember your loved one's life.
Part 1
Choosing Your Land
1Plan your memory garden depending upon available space. Use a place connected to your memory of your loved one, if possible. A corner of your deck or patio could serve as a small memory garden if you don't have a lot of space. Consider how much privacy you would like to have and select a location that fulfills these needs.
- The commemorative garden can be large or small, depending upon the size of your yard or designated space and the amount of work you want to put into it.
2Select a spot that is visible from your home. Place the garden where it can be seen from a window or covered porch, if such space is available. That way, you can enjoy the view of it even during bad weather.[1]
- If you are fortunate to have a decent view of mountains, a beach, or a river, think about locating your memory garden there.
3Create boundaries for your space. Set boundary markers for the garden, such as a ring of small stones or a fence. You can even use personal items of the loved one, such as hiking poles, to denote boundaries. This will make the garden feel more secluded and special.
Part 2
Decorating the Space
1Decide on an ideal atmosphere for your garden. Add a soothing water feature and wind chimes to your memorial garden for an even more relaxing atmosphere. Set up outdoor speakers if you would like to listen to music while you are in your garden.[2]
2Select colors for your garden. If you want a quiet place where you can meditate or find peace, use soft colors, such as light blues, yellows, and pinks. You might instead want your memory garden to be a place of inspiration and hope, incorporating brighter colors, such as red and orange, and adding playful statuary.
3Encourage wildlife to visit. Provide bird or squirrel feeders or bird baths to enhance the flora and fauna. If you hope to attract butterflies, set up sugar water and fruit while you're in the garden.
4Provide a place to sit. Whether you want to invite others into your garden, or simply want to spend time there alone, use chairs or benches to increase comfort and allow for moments of reflection. Seating will invite people to stay awhile.
5Personalize the garden to honor someone's memory. Dedicate your garden to your loved one by considering their personality traits, special interests and accomplishments, using these to inspire decorations. Add statuary and features that represent your loved one's interests.
- Use a statue of a dog, for instance, to honor a dog lover or a passed dog. Use stepping stones with paw prints and perhaps include a water source that dogs would be able to drink from.
- A small putting green could be used as a memorial garden for an avid golfer. Use dwarf mondo grass to represent a green and make a pea gravel sand trap.
6Incorporate personal effects into the garden. To make the space symbolic, you can inscribe your loved one's favorite quote on a stone or plaque. Either a photograph sealed in a weather-proofed frame or an original piece of art could also be meaningful additions to your memory garden.
Part 3
Making Nature Symbolic
1Plant your loved one's favorite flowers. If you do not know their favorite plant, use flowers that bloom in the person's favorite colors. You can also choose to plant flowers that have symbolic meanings, such a forget-me-nots for 'memory' and lilies for 'purity.'[3]
- Use delicate flowers in a small memory garden for a baby or child. Daisies represent innocence, so plant those if you want your garden to be symbolic.
- Honor a veteran by planting flowers in patriotic colors around a commemorative plaque or stone.
2Consider using seasonal plants. If your loved one enjoyed a certain season of the year more than the others, plant flowers or trees that bloom during that time of year. Plant tulip bulbs and a spring-flowering shrub if the person loved springtime, for instance.[4]
3Choose plants based on location. Be sure that the location you choose will support the types of plants you want to grow. Sun-loving plants need 6-8 hours of sun per day, while shade-lovers need protection from the sun. Research to learn which types of plants grow best in your climate.

That's it! My last official 2011 senior session! And what a wonderful session to end with. Mom wanted gardens, senior wanted beach, so they opted for the deluxe session so they BOTH got exactly what they wanted! We started our morning out a Leu Gardens, and while it was pretty warm out, it was worth it because the gardens are looking gorgeous! Everything so lush and green, it was beautiful. And this senior chose the perfect colors for it! Gorgeous girl, gorgeous setting, gorgeous colors, all makes for a perfect session!
For part two of the session, we drove out to New Smyrna Beach. It was a perfect day there too! Blue skies and no one (besides beach patrol 😉 ) around. We climbed on the rock wall, found a boardwalk area, and oh yeah, the ocean!
Here are a few sneaks from her shoots (two from gardens and two from beach!). Hope you like!
Thank you and CONGRATULATIONS to the class of 2011! It has been a pleasure meeting so many of you, and working with you. (If you are 2011, and STILL want photos, I can do them, but they will not be back before graduation. Call or email me and we can talk!)
A senior session downtown! I haven't been downtown for a shoot in a little while, so it was fun to go back. One problem, while I did check the Magic schedule, I completely forgot to check the Predator's schedule! Oops! Church street was blocked off for a party. I thought that may be a problem for my senior, because I mean, we can still shoot, but there are lots of people around watching! NOPE! Not a problem for this girl! LOVE that! Oh, and I had a first at this shoot. She brought a bassoon! Yep, I have had other kids bring instruments, but never a bassoon! So, just try to picture this: street party on Church street, pretty girl being photographed, AND a very large bassoon in the middle of it all. Yeah, we had some people watching ;).
Hope you like your sneak peeks! I will get the rest ready for you as soon as possible!
Still photographing 2011 seniors! We are almost done, but still a few more left. This beautiful senior was so much fun, and I was so happy that we were finally able to have her session. We have been talking about her shoot since SEPTEMBER!!! But I guess now the time was perfect, because everything fell into place quite nicely. Beautiful weather, we had the park to ourselves (other than all the birds and random dead fish – ewwww), good tan (her not me!), and lots of fun!
Thanks for a wonderful session! I hope you like your sneak peeks, and can't wait to show you all of them!
Another beautiful senior at the beautiful Kraft Azalea park in Winter Park. It is funny to me, how "my locations" go in cycles. There can be a year that I don't use a location, and then all of the sudden it is requested all of the time! That is how it has been with Kraft lately. Sure I do family sessions there on a fairly regular basis, but I hadn't shot a senior there in a while. Now, the past several sessions have been there! With good reason too. It is beautiful location with amazing light in the afternoon.
This gorgeous senior was so easy going and laid back. "What do you want? What are you looking for?" "Oh, anything you do is just fine!". Really easy going! And mom's only request was lots of pretty photos with lots of close ups. Easy enough! Here are a few sneak peeks from our session:
We are almost at the end of the 2011 seniors. But not quite there yet! I had the pleasure to meet another delightful senior. She was so sweet and fun to photograph. Despite a little hiccup at the beginning with my equipment (thank goodness for back ups!), we had a fantastic session. Kraft Azalea is such a nice place to shoot with afternoon light!
Thanks for a great shoot sweetie! And good luck at 'Bama next year!
If you are a 2011 senior who has not yet gotten senior photos that you LOVE, time is just about up! Contact me to set up your session!

I welcome you to my psychotherapy practice offering therapy for adult individuals, couples, and families.
Therapy is helpful in a variety of situations, dealing with long-standing difficulties or in response to unexpected changes or new challenges.
Working with a therapist can greatly enhance your quality of life whether you have clinical symptoms/conditions or not. It helps you learn more about yourself and others, as well as develop new ways of coping with life challenges preventing you from reaching your personal and professional goals and potential.
In a safe, collaborative, and supportive working environment one can start recognizing that when one door has closed another one will open for him/her.
As Helen Keller wrote " When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."
I take a collaborative approach with clients and provide compassion, support, and acceptance necessary for change and growth. I truly believe in people's strengths and ability to cope, learn, and grow.
Whatever your challenge or concern may be, I invite you to explore my website and give me a call to set up a consultation and learn more.

The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has directed Mayuresh M Joshi, the director of Yugay Constructions Private Limited, to either complete the project within three months or pay Rs1.37 crore unpaid amount with 18% interest per annum from November 2006 besides Rs54.91 lakh towards the cost for completion of the project and Rs1 lakh in damages to the owners of the land in the Shivajinagar area.
The interest component on the unpaid amount for the period between November 2006 and June 2016 works out to more than Rs2.36 crore and would continue to grow till the realization of payment. The commission has given 90 days, from the date of receipt of the order, to the developer to comply with the order.
Businessman Anand Govind Shirolkar (since deceased) and three others from his family had filed the consumer complaint last year against the developer, who had stopped construction at the project site since 2009 and did not respond to their requests for completing the project. Shirolkar's wife, Ranjana, and son, Prashant, both based in USA at present, and daughter Dr Nayana Shirolkar, based in the UK, were the other three complainants and legal heirs in the matter.
The national commission recently passed an ex-parte order against the developer, who had failed to respond to its notices. The developer can now has the option of either complying with the order or prefer an appeal before the Supreme Court.
"We have sent a copy of the commission's order to the developer for compliance and will wait for the 90-day period before any further action in terms of execution is taken," Shirolkar's lawyer Rahul S Gandhi told TOI on Tuesday.
The Shirolkars had entered into a development agreement with Yugay Constructions on November 23, 2005 to build a residential apartment on their 1,079.2sqm land at Model colony in Shivajinagar. According to the terms and conditions of the agreement, Yugay Constructions was to pay Rs2.35 crore to Shirolkars besides the units on the first and second floor of the apartment.
The developer paid Rs98 lakh, but not the remainder Rs1.37 crore. Construction work of the project was stopped in 2009 and despite repeated requests there was no progress in the work. The Shirolkars had to move into a temporary accommodation, which they later had to vacate after some time at the owner's request. Eventually, they moved into the unfinished apartment.
Later, they hired services of Prasad Kulkarni, an architect and government-approved valuer, to make an assessment of the cost required for the completion of the project. In his report, the architect worked out this cost to Rs54.91 lakh. In their complaint, the Shirolkar's sought these amounts with compensation for physical and mental agony.
A two-member bench of Justice J M Malik and expert member S M Kanitkar held, "We have heard the counsel for the complainants. He has invited our attention towards various photographs, depicting that the flat has not been fully constructed. It is a half-built building. We have also perused the agreement between the parties. It goes to support the case of the complainants."

Demonic Possession and Exorcism
"This is a story ripe with religious overtones."
Rev. Charles McGowan from Chapel Woods Presbyterian Church
It was through the act of demonic possession that Satan used Mark Chapman to collect John Lennon's soul. Mark's pastor, the Rev. Charles McGowan from Chapel Woods Presbyterian church in Decatur, Georgia, USA, commented after visiting Chapman in prison, "I think spiritual forces of darkness distorted his whole world view—almost whispering to him that this was God's ordained plan for him to take this evil out of the world. And I attribute that to the devil himself quite frankly." Mark continually refers to 'the spiritual matters behind Lennon's murder'. It is a story that goes to the heart of the Christian faith, one man tempted by self fulfillment and the gains of the material world would stop at nothing to obtain his dream, makes a pact with the devil, all his wishes granted, he is now owed to the Devil. The Devil finds a vehicle to obtain John's soul in the possession of a child.
As a child only a few months old, Mark had signs of deep agitation within him as though he placed into this world laden with an ancient grudge. As an infant, his body would violently and involuntarily shake and rock, back and forth at times so severe the casters had to be removed from his crib to prevent it from rolling across the room. His mother recalls the rocking behavior carried on into his teenage years. "He would just be rocking back and forth all the time" she said. As a teenager Mark felt the presence of an evil spirit residing in his body. One night while sleeping at a friend's house he sensed the presence of evil giving him
instructions, "Everyone was lying, passed out in bed...There was a knife in the room.... Something in me -I recognize now to be a spiritual force -was trying to urge me to pick up the knife and kill my friends." There were periods of demonic activity throughout his life and at times Mark was unable to distinguish God's directives from those of Satan. But in the months prior to Lennon's murder the demonic activity reached its peak and Chapman opened doors that could not be closed – he began praying to Satan for help. He prayed for the strength of a weak individual to perform a cowardly act. He prayed to Satan to send his most powerful, experienced demons, 'not little ones but big ones to do a big thing'. And he believed his prayers were being heard and answered. From Let Me Take You Down, by Jack Jones, page 183: "At last he sat before the record player, naked except for a pair of headphones clamped across his skull:"
"Hear me, Satan," he prayed softy, bowing his head. "Accept the pearls of my evil and my rage. Accept these things from deep within me. In return, I ask only that you…"
He paused, lifting the headphones momentarily from his head to assure himself that his wife was still asleep behind the closed door in the next room. A chill passed through his body.
"I ask only that you give me the power," he continued, rocking gently in time to the Lennon song, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," that had just begun to trickle into the headphones.
"…..The power to kill John Lennon. Give me the power of darkness. Give me the power or death. Let me be a somebody for once in my life. Give me the life of John Lennon."
Chapman fixated on the Lennon song lyrics he believed to be blasphemous. In his anger and rage, his wife Gloria said she would hear him in the next room calling out in a loud voice, 'you bastard phony', 'your days in this world are numbered'. "The goddamn phony fool he doesn't even realize that soon he's going to be dead. Just imagine that."
From Let Me Take You Down by Jack Jones:
"In the months after he killed John Lennon, Mark David Chapman was evaluated by numerous psychiatrists. Each describes Mark's case as one of the most difficult to diagnose. Mark appeared to his psychiatrist, Dr. Goldstein, 'to have an even higher sensitivity than most people to moral issues and social concerns in general. He had a clear understanding of the relationship between past actions and their future consequences.' Dr. Goldstein concluded, "Whatever Chapman's reasons for killing the rock superstar, those reasons were part of a complicated riddle that lay beyond the realm of modern psychiatry as she knew it." The profession community has struggled to penetrate and describe the medical symptoms of a spiritual battle that Mark Chapman says raged within him for his entire life."
In 1987, People Magazine ran a three part series on Chapman and talked about his 'psychotic breakdown' and 'exorcism'.
"As the guards at Rikers Island reported it, he destroyed a TV set, threw a radio and began taunting fellow inmates in a high pitched voice that warned of horrible tortures awaiting them in hell. Guards quickly subdued him and locked him in his cell, where he ripped off his clothes and began jumping around wildly, climbing the bars and 'screeching and hooting like a monkey.' He tore his bible into small pieces and used them to stop up his toilet. As his cell flooded, he began throwing water at the guards and taunting them. When they opened his cell door he lunged at them, and it took six men to drag him into a van that took him to Bellevue. There he did not answer to the name Mark Chapman, he spoke to the doctors in voices they had not heard before – one a high pitched, female voice, the other low, snarling and aggressively male. The voices identified themselves as Lila and Dobar, emissaries of Satan. It was Lila's first possession of a human, Chapman later told his co-counsel, David Suggs, and she was struck by the weakness of human vision and the human body. Dobar was the more powerful demon – thousands of years old, exceedingly well versed in biblical scripture and a member of the Supreme Council in Hades, a ruling body whose power was only exceeded by Satan's. Chapman noted, however, that Lila had the power to release and contain Dobar; he thought perhaps this was because Satan didn't trust him. He said that both demons could read his mind and that their purpose in possessing him was to make a showing of Satan's presence in the world, using Lennon's murder as a vehicle."
In his jail cell at Attica State prison in New York, his demons were excised. Mark was instructed to pray, and that God would flood him with peace and prepare him for the expulsion. He was told to pray for his wife and kin (priest) and suddenly God began to deliver him from 5 or 6 demons.
"They came out. I ended up on the floor, groaning and making sounds and language very strange to me…" Chapman said. Mark said he didn't want people to believe it was a mental act and asked "will you try to believe it? I was pacing in my cell, and my body was shaking, and all of a sudden I felt the Holy Spirit come down and say there were demons inside me, and I said, 'So that's what this is,' and I asked in Jesus' name for them to come out. My face was snarling and it came out of my mouth, this thing, and it was gone. And I relaxed, and then I started breaking out in a sweat. Then there were more, I said, 'In Jesus' name, come out, and the second one was worse. Then the third one came out, and it was worse, and I said, 'I'm ready, God, lets get them all out, let's go.' During that hour six came out. They were the most fierce and incredible things you ever saw of or heard in your life – hissing, gurgling noises and different voices coming right out of my mouth. My body was twitching an I was praying, I remember saying – this was the last one, and I said, My body is the temple of the Lord, and this voice came out and said, 'This the body of Satan.'
As the demons left his body, Mark said he felt the essences of his personality departing with them. Mark said, "In other words, the way I was acting – cursing and things like this – weren't me, and when they came out I could sense these things coming out of my mouth, hissing and awful gurgling and grinding and I could feel that part of my personality was gone."

You know his mind might actually be broken enough that he thinks that happened but I've learned a long time ago that all the stories.... these monsters, all those things that go bump in the night? They are based off of humans. Some people can't wrap their heads around how people doing these horrific things. An example is Vlad Dracula III commonly known as "Vlad the impaler" was a human. As I'm sure you guessed the legendary blood sucking vampire Count Dracula was king of the vampires and drank the blood of humans. The only thing in common Count Dracula and Vlad "presumably" shared was the drinking of blood. That being said the list for Vlad goes so far and disturbing that I will not list it but feel free to look it up. My point is it wasn't a vampire it was a man. David chapman was not a demon he was just a very sick manReplyDelete

Paper Girls: Volume 4
Paper Girls: Volume 4 by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang
Finally, we get some answers! Vaughan has been raising more and more questions with each volume, and with Volume 4, we start to see what's going on. We don't get all of our questions answered, but we at least start to see some of what is happening behind the scenes.
This is the second time in the series that we see one of the paper girls interacting with her older self, and I hope this isn't going to be a trend. It was cool and funky and startling the first time it happened, but the second time around, it feels a little stale. Will each of the girls run into her older self at some point in the story? If so, will the whole device grow tired?
I still like what's happening in this series, so it's not like I'm going to stop reading based on that one sticking point. I've just grown accustomed to Vaughan writing strong, strange, thoughtful stories, so I expect something more than just retreading an old device. I'm just glad we're starting to get a better understanding of the bigger picture; I vowed at the end of the last collection that if he didn't start revealing something of the story by now, I'd stop reading.

The Education and Outreach program at SASS aims to educate the community about sexual violence, services available for survivors, and how sexual violence can be prevented, in order to increase the community's access to services as well as to foster a healthy community environment.
SASS is dedicated to increasing access to services for underserved populations, such as individuals with disabilities, individuals living in rural areas, Latin@s, LGBTIQQ, youth and college students.
Tabling at Events
SASS is particularly interested in connecting with the general community as well as a wide range of specific populations in order to spread the word about our services. We are interested in being a part of events, activities, and discussions around Lane County. If you would like SASS to participate in your event, please contact our office at 541-484-9791 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Community Presentations
SASS provides presentations and training on sexual violence to a wide range of groups, such as classrooms, civic groups, service providers, etc., and we can tailor our presentations to meet your needs. Common presentation topics include: Sexual Assault 101, Dynamics of Sexual Violence, Sexual Violence Prevention. If you are interested in scheduling a presentation, please contact our office at 541-484-9791 or send an email to email@example.com
Youth Education Groups
Research has told us that the most effective prevention strategies attempt to engage a small group of youth (5-15) over a sustained period of time (6-12 sessions once a week) as opposed to doing quick one-off presentations with larger groups. The intention behind this is to reduce social norms that encourage violence and to promote social norms that protect against it. Within our small groups, we engage in discussions and activities that explore both the causes of violence and the many ways that students can create a culture in their communities where violence is not tolerated. If you are interested in this program or would like more information, please contact our office at 541-484-9791 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Rural Outreach
SASS recognizes that survivors living in rural and isolated areas face additional barriers when trying to access resources and services. SASS' Rural Outreach program focuses on increasing awareness and accessibility of our services throughout all of Lane County. If your rural community is interested in learning more about our services please contact our office at 541-484-9791 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com

I have done several of these all inclusive resorts in Mexico and this one is different. Not a common American destination, we found that the vast majority of patrons were Mexican with some Canadians, a few Europeans and a couple groups of Americans. This makes for a nice experience with cultural diversity. Don't expect that all of the staff speaks English like they do in the Cancun area. This did not dampen our experience, it just made us use the little Spanish that we know. The grounds are well kept and beautiful. The pools are nice and there are two "adult only" pools which makes it nice when you want to stay away from screaming toddlers (there were a lot). The beach was small but nice. The lagoon had a nice variety of fish, rocks and coral so it's nice to snorkel. Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was huge. The daily service to the room was pretty good although they forgot some things on a couple of days. The food was somewhat better than at other places I have visited. The local food was awesome. The tour operator, Miguel Silos with Tlaloc Tours, was wonderful. We did 3 excursions and all were great! If you are interested in modern Mexican culture, I highly recommend the Waterfall Tour which takes you to small villages to meet real people before you get to the Waterfall. If you are very lucky, you will get Francisco as your guide for this excursion. The town of Manzanillo is a very busy port. Sort of a negative because you will always see large cargo ships when you look out to sea from the resort. Between the busy port and the powerplant, the air quality is not the best and there seems to be a haze constantly around Manzanillo. Manzanillo Bay and Santiago Bay are both beautiful and I recommend getting out and looking around. We found the locals to be very friendly.

Our family with 3 boys (ages 5, 10, and 12) had a wonderful visit on our first trip to Manzanillo. Meals were all very good all around, though if you are a sushi nut, skip the rolls at the Japanese restaurant as there are better options. The pool and beach are perfect for family fun, and adult relaxation "con bebidas"! The premium level oceanview suite with private pool was perfect for our group and wonderful views of the bay. Excursions are a little lacking as this as not as heavily touristed as other Mexico resorts (an advantage if you want to feel less rushed/crowded in my opinion, i.e. no stupid drunk college spring breakers). Deep sea fishing was more affordable than other resorts, though we only caught black tuna, another family caught 2 nice marlin on their trip. Regarding travel warnings from the U.S. government, I never felt a threat in Manzanillo or on an organized excursion to Cuyutlan. Just like anywhere you would go, don't draw attention to yourself drunk in the middle of the night in the city, and you will likely have no worries. Great trip for a family. I highly recommend it.

1) Beach is a cove, very rocky. 2) Jacuzzi is NOT a Jacuzzi, barely warmer than the cold pool. 3) Buffet is marginal at best. 4) Room had LOTS of traffic at night from employees. 5) No free internet ($12 a day) 6) The front desks answer was always No. No late checkout No change for tips No help at all The only shining parts are: 1) The Japanese Restaurant which was EXCELLENT. 2) The Concierge was very helpful.

While this is beautiful resort and the staff is really nice & helpful, if anyone in your party has trouble climbing stairs or walking steep sections this resort should be avoided. Otherwise this resort is wonderful.

Title: All the Dirty Parts
Author: Daniel Handler
Pages: 144 Pages
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
The Blurb
From bestselling, award-winning author Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket), a gutsy, exciting novel that looks honestly at the erotic impulses of an all-too-typical young man.
Cole is a boy in high school. He runs cross country, he sketches, he jokes around with friends. But none of this quite matters next to the allure of sex. "Let me put it this way," he says. "Draw a number line, with zero is you never think about sex and ten is, it's all you think about, and while you are drawing the line, I am thinking about sex."
Cole fantasizes about whomever he's looking at. He consumes and shares pornography. And he sleeps with a lot of girls, which is beginning to earn him a not-quite-savory reputation around school. This leaves him adrift with only his best friend for company, and then something startling starts to happen between them that might be what he's been after all this time-and then he meets Grisaille.
All The Dirty Parts is an unblinking take on teenage desire in a culture of unrelenting explicitness and shunted communication, where sex feels like love, but no one knows what love feels like. With short chapters in the style of Jenny Offill or Mary Robison, Daniel Handler gives us a tender, brutal, funny, intoxicating portrait of an age when the lens of sex tilts the world. "There are love stories galore," Cole tells us, "This isn't that. The story I'm typing is all the dirty parts."
The Review
Daniel Handler's new release, All the Dirty Parts, is an entertaining story and a stark insight into the inner workings of a teenage boys mind.
The story follows Cole, a bit of a player, likes the sex but doesn't deal with the emotional consequences for his conquests. His main goal is to score. That is until he meets his match in Grisaille.
It is through Grisaille that Cole finally gets his emotional comeuppance. Finally he gets a taste of his own medicine.
So imagine The Inbetweeners with less humour and you have All the Dirty Parts. That sounds a bit harsh but there really wasn't much humour in the story and maybe it took itself too seriously.
All the Dirty Parts by Daniel Handler is available now.

B Visas
Traveling to the U.S. is a dream for many. Whether or not you want to visit family, take care of medical affairs, or just want to sightsee the United States, this is a visa that can help you achieve this goal. Known as the business or pleasure visa, (and most commonly used visa), if you provide a satisfactory statement and the
proper documentary evidence to the United States Consulate in connection with your intended
visit, you can qualify for a visitor's visa to the U.S. The stays in the U.S. under the B visa are
generally temporary and consist of touring, visiting family members, getting health care,
or doing business for an overseas employer.
There are two types of nonimmigrant B visas available for individuals who wish to visit the
United States: The B-1 and the B-2.
The B-1 visa is for people who want to visit the U.S. temporarily for business purposes, and will generally be approved for a stay of no more than three months. Moreover, a B-1 holder may successfully apply for adjustment of status to an immigrant visa in certain situations Note: a person may not enter the U.S. with a B visa and obtain employment or receive a salary from a U.S. employer.
B-1 holders may change status to another immigrant status, like J-1, F-1 or B-2. However, one should be very cautious when changing from B-1 status to another non-immigrant status. USCIS frowns upon using the B category as a stepping- stone to a different non-immigrant status for purposes of avoiding application procedures associated with the new status.
The B-2 visa is for individuals who wish to visit the U.S. temporarily for pleasure, which includes visiting friends or family. B-2 visitors are generally granted stays for six months, even if they intend to stay for shorter periods of time. In some cases, the officer at the port of entry may grant an applicant less time to stay in the United States.
What is the process like?
If you are considering a B visa, it is advisable that you apply for a visa at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where you permanently reside. Since the demand for B visas is generally high, plan in advance as it may take a long time for the Consulate to review your documents or provide you an interview date.

Magento is one of the most popular and useful ecommerce platforms online. It's the engine behind thousands of ecommerce companies, and it empowers them to succeed and grow on all levels. Plus, Magento is incredibly easy to use, so anyone can set up a website — even if they've never made a website in their lives! But creating a website isn't enough to get customers and grow a business. You also need search engine optimization to get your website in Google search results! That's why we at Ecommerce Best SEO created this ranking list of the 35 best Magento SEO companies in the world. We objectively evaluated each of these agencies to ensure they have the manpower and credibility behind them to stand at the top of the industry. Now, all you have to do is look!
Over the past few years, Magento has become one of the most popular ways for any ecommerce company to sell online.
It makes sense, too! Magento is fast, easy, and affordable. It breaks down the process of creating a website into more manageable and understandable pieces so that anyone can do it — even if it's your first time making a website!
But because Magento changes the website creation process, it also changes optimization. That means you can't just optimize your Magento ecommerce website the same way you could with a from-scratch site.
Instead, you need specialized Magento strategies that'll deliver results for you day after day.
And the best way to get those is through a Magento SEO agency!
That's why we've compiled this list of the 35 best Magento SEO providers. If you want to find an agency that'll work well with your website, this is the place to start.
But you still have some work ahead of you. Nobody knows your business better than you, and that means you're the best person to decide your marketing partner.
That takes research, time, and more effort than a lot of business owners want to invest in just finding the right SEO agency.
But a year from now when you're looking at the hard-earned results of your agency's tailor-made plan for you, you'll be glad to took the time to look them up.
With that in mind, let's talk about how you can find the Magento SEO agency that's right for you.
Discovering Your Ideal Magento SEO Partner
Your ecommerce business requires a unique touch, and not just because it's built on Magento. That means you need a marketing agency that understands the intricacies of your customer base just like you.
(At the very least, you need an SEO agency that's willing to learn your customer base.)
You can start by looking at our list and checking out which Magento SEO agencies sound good to you.
Are you looking for names you recognize? Locations close to you? Price?
All of those are listed in our ranking, and we've done our homework to make sure they're accurate. All that's left is for you to pick the agencies that look good to you!
Add those to a "short list" of candidates that you think look good enough for more research. Then, you can check out the website of each agency on that list.
Once you're on an agency's site, you can look at whatever you'd like to get acquainted with that agency and understand them better. We highly recommend looking at the About page and Testimonial page of each agency.
The About page tells you a lot about the company and how it operates internally. There should be information on the agency's culture, employees, and the benefits of working there.
That's because an About page is as much for potential clients (you) as it is for potential employees! Whenever an agency makes an About page, they put their best foot forward to get as many high-value clients and team members as they possibly can.
Look around to see if they say anything about ethics, values, morale, and other indicators of a top-notch firm. If they mention any of those things, then you can trust that the agency has put a lot of thought into how they run and how they present themselves.
Both of those are great signs for you as a client. When an agency focuses on making its employees happy, you can be sure those employees will be happier to be at work. That means you get their A game every day — or at least much more frequently than an agency that doesn't care about employee morale.
After you're done with the About page, look around for a Testimonials page.
This page will have all of the positive reviews from past and current clients that want to say something good about the agency.
Sometimes, an agency may not have a Testimonials page. That could be because they're a newer firm and they don't have the client base to show off a lot of testimonials.
It could also mean the agency doesn't ask for testimonials since that could inconvenience their clients' work days.
In that regard, it's usually okay if an agency doesn't have a Testimonials page.
On the other hand, it's much more suspicious if an agency only has one or two testimonials. Again, this could mean the agency is young, but if it's not, it means the agency hasn't received a lot of positive feedback.
Look on Yelp and other review sites to see what others have to say about an agency. If there's nothing good, consider scratching that agency off your list.
Finally, you should have your shortest list of a handful of agencies.
Contact these agencies directly and talk about your business, your goals, and how you want the agency to help.
If they're understandable and cordial on the phone, you know you've found a decent agency.
If they're disagreeable, abrupt, or rude, you can safely cross that agency off your list.
Spend some more time talking to agencies to narrow down your final choice.
And once you have it, start your SEO strategy to help your Magento ecommerce company grow.

Caring for and loving on His child is what we've been privileged to do since last Tuesday until July 22nd (all children are His children but especially the fatherless!). We have been given the awesome opportunity to host a precious 9 yr. old boy from Asia.
Every summer our agency hosts children from Russia and Asia with the hopes of finding their forever family. Of course, the children only know that they are here for a summer camp.
Sooo, last week we all went to the airport to pick up our buddy and bring him home to stay with us for 2.5 weeks. Let me just say that we were ALL a little nervous...mainly about the language barrier. Ni Hao and wo ai ni are just about the extent of our mandarin :)
Well, my little "I" and our new buddy got along instantly...chattering away..."I" in English and our buddy in mandarin AND they totally understood each other!!! Charades have become the norm around here although we are picking up some mandarin and he is picking up a TON of english :)
Our buddy is the most precious little boy I have ever met. He is so polite and obeys wonderfully. He gets along great with everyone and has been such a joy. Bottom line: OUR LITTLE BUDDY NEED HIS FOREVER FAMILY!!! Bottom line: I need YOUR HELP in spreading the word about this precious boy...God's child!!!
Will you join us in praying that his family will be found? Will you help us spread the word? Could you be his family???
I wish I could show you a picture of his precious face and his fabulous smile, but I'm not allowed :) So here...his sweet little fingers is what you get :)
I would be lying if I didn't tell you how my heart aches at the thought of sending him home and not knowing what will happen to him. Will his family be found or will he live the rest of his child years alone in an orphanage? Will he have a mama and baba to love him and care for him when he's sad & scared or hungry & tired or when he's happy & wants to celebrate or just needs the basic love to survive...the love of a forever family.

Bradford boss wants Millwall target James Hanson to stay
Millwall have not formally agreed a fee with Bradford City for striker James Hanson.
Boss Neil Harris wants to bring the target man to The Den, but Bradford have already rejected two offers from the Lions.
A third bid remains on the table but Bantams manager Phil Parkinson does not want the 27-year-old to leave the club and has been trying to convince him that his immediate future remains at Valley Parade.
Parkinson has told local media in Bradford he wants to keep the club's best players to build on last season's seventh-place finish in League One – and Hanson is believed to be part of those plans.
Hanson attracted the attention of Millwall after some eye-catching performances in the FA Cup last season, including a goal in their 4-0 third-round win over Ian Holloway's side.
Harris, however, will move on to other targets if a deal cannot be agreed for the centre-forward.
