Crop Marks (small trim marks around the artwork) – this shows us the final print size.
Bleed – imagine you have to cut out a blue circle on a piece of white paper – you will have to concentrate and cut very slowly so that none of the white shows and also not cut any of the blue – this is why we have the 3mm bleed for tolerance in printing to help us when trimming.
We've created this page to answer some of the most common questions our clients have.
Crop Marks (small trim marks around the artwork) – this shows us the final print size.
RGB stands for the colours red, green, and blue, the colours widely recognised in design fields as the primary colours and which are used on monitors. The RGB model is known as an additive model.
CMYK stands for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black – the inks we use in print. CMYK is a subtractive model. This gets a bit complicated, but the idea with subtractive models like CMYK is that colours from the spectrum are subtracted from natural white light into pigments or dyes.
Typically, blue will look slightly more vibrant when displayed in RGB compared with CMYK. This means that if you create your design in RGB and print it in CMYK you'll probably see a beautiful bright blue colour on the screen but on the printed version, it will appear like a purple-ish blue. The same is true for greens, they tend to look a little flat when converted to CMYK from RGB.
BEST to work in CMYK (if your application allows) when designing for print. PLUS ALWAYS HAVE A
PROOF BEFORE PRINTING – remember those vibrant colours on the screen will not always be the same when printed.
Different print processes (Digital / Litho) can produce variations in colour. Stocks and substrates can also have a dramatic effect on colour. For example, printing on an uncoated paper will give a much more flat colour appearance as opposed to printing on a coated stock. For further information please call or email us.
Yes – we only require single pages – not supplied in spreads or printer pairs. Our imposition program only uses single pages.
If files for sending are too large for standard email – best to use a FREE service that will send the files. WeTransfer / MailBigFile are just some of these – they normally give you 2gb free to transfer your files.
We normally print our leaflets on a 150-170gsm – which gives a nice weight to your leaflets.
When printing brochures we like to use a heavier cover (300gsm) this with an interior of 150-170gsm gives a professional feel to the brochure. We do also offer to laminate the covers (matt / gloss and soft lamination) to give an excellent finish.
Business cards are generally printed on 400gsm stock – we print both uncoated and coated stock. The uncoated stock gives a tactile feel. The coated stock (silk) is normally laminated to finish.
The general size used is 55 x 85mm (credit card size) but do consider 50 x 85mm or 55 x 55 which can also work very well.
If you know your contact details will not change in the next 6 to 12 months best to go for 500.
The relative difference in cost is about 20 per cent to gain twice the amount of cards. You can never promote your company enough.
We can print up to B1 size dependent on work required.
For fast turnaround we tend to print up to SRA3 size (320 x 450mm).
We print quantities between 1 to 50,000. But do factor in that the larger runs take more working days to produce.
Print quantities between 10-500 we can normally turnaround in 2-3 days – but this is very much dependent on the complexity and pages in the project plus finishing requirements.
We do offer on certain jobs a free delivery service in and around the St Albans area.

I spotted this stunning cattleya orchid with twin blooms while shopping for vegetables at the Saturday FTI Market. I very rarely purchase cattleyas as I seem to have little luck getting them to thrive and bloom again. The vendor is a very amiable lady who loves her plants/orchids and raises them on a farm in Silang, Cavite, and I have repeatedly purchased herbs from her before. She mentioned that they were called cattleya "imperialis" — an apt name for an extremely regal looking pair of blooms. Cattleyas have always reminded me of my mom, so in this particular instance, I bought them despite the price, and the orchid now sits proudly in the center of the living room.
If you put your nose close to one of the blooms, you get an intensely sweet scent. It's quite stunning really. I have sometimes read that orchids have no fragrance at all, and that is completely untrue, as some local varieties here in the Philippines can give off some very strong aromas (however, others do seem to be scentless). Reading up on cattleya care, it seems our treatment here with moss stuffed around the base is a no-no and suffocating the roots that need ample oxygen and circulation of air. We have since removed the moss, and only water every other day or so, to keep the roots moist but not overly so. There is another spike with hopefully 1-2 more blooms coming up, so if we are lucky, we will enjoy a total of say 4 blooms over a period of a month or so. The next challenge will be to keep the plant alive and hopefully get it to bloom a year or so from now… :)
Enjoy the sweet scent and the regal blooms while they last their relatively short blooming life. I got mine to flower once after a long wait and that was its last:(

This summons fragments that a high school teacher doled out extra points for if you recited them by heart…a thing of beauty is a joy forever…some shape of beauty moves away the pall from dark spirits…to see heaven in a wild flower… We opened a bottle of claret the other night and found myself mouthing O for a beaker full of the warm south… and the young people present at the table looked at me as though I sprouted a pair of horns.

With the exception perhaps of Vandaceous types, most orchids need a significant temperature differential to trigger blooming. While our tropical warmth and humidity are cozy enough for them to thrive, it encourages 'laziness' and 'apathy'. Talk about becoming 'troppo'. LOL. You'll be amazed how 'human' orchids can be.
So how do commercial growers get them to bloom so beautifully and regularly? Apart from hormones and whatever chemical tricks up their sleeves, they also have cold rooms as well as nurseries in the outskirts or hills to help with the required temperature differential. Our urban jungle is simply too static( 25C – 33C ) temperature wise. One gets lucky, however, during the monsoon when night and day temperature variations are more meaningful – perhaps as low as 20C at night after continuous raining for days followed by a high 34C on the occasional sunny, clear days. The nutritious rain water helps too.
Worst of all, if the orchid had been forced to bloom. It means its natural cycle has been interrupted/confused and it will take another 2 or 3 seasons to get back its rhythm. So it hibernates to rest and recuperate. In the meantime, you can bet that its city dweller owner, through ignorance and impatience, will do all sorts to awaken it from slumber. The orchid dies as a result of all the extra food, water and God only knows what else.
I would love to see a blooming Waling Waling on your blog one of these days.

As always Footloose, thank you for your elephant memory and your gift of prose….and poetry, and your sharp wit and humor. Now you remind me of my English teacher too. How MM's cattleyas draw out poetic memories!
BTW Footloose, are you by any chance related to Oscar Wilde?
Jul 10, 2013 | 10:50 pm
My mother loves orchids as did my late grandmother. They always saved the bloody water from washing fresh fish bought from the wet market with some of the gills and innards to boot and used that as our organic, chemical-free fertilizer for the orchids. For days after this nutri-boost, our house, with its windows open, would smell like a 'palengke' everytime there was a breeze but we didn't really mind that much since the plants thrived and gave us blooms, sometimes nearly all at once.

Such beauties… I was able rebloom quite a few
Cattleya ,when we live back home.I sure miss these flowers,Orchids are very affordable now here..They usually worth your money for one to two month of blooms,like a lot of you,these lovelies remind me of my mom.
Jul 11, 2013 | 3:56 pm
Simply beautiful! Everyday I say "I Love you, thank you for being so beautiful" to all my flowers indoor and outdoor.

Before Manila Seedlings closed I bought 5 kinds of catleya plants, all with very nice blooms, brought them to Quezon province and they all died. Ang mahal pa naman non. Now the other kinds of local orchids, sus ang dami dun sa barangay na yon. Mostly the residents plant them in "tuod" woodings.

Memorizing lines of poetry now seems as extinct as writing legibly. Both too quaint for an age where memory is what you carry around in portable bytes and sentiments are hastily tweeted or texted via alphanumeric codes. But I, still try to commit to memory as much as my fading faculty can hold, am still on the look out for antique German writing implements and continue to do the things my fathers learned to do.

Anyone who has an idea of the prices of red roses in Dangwa this month?

That is a very nice cattleya! Reblooming them however is quite daunting, however you should not miss the essentials. First, light – expose them to sunlight, how much of it is a skill you should learn. Most experts say, "as much as they can have without burning the leaves". Test the cattleya leaves if they are warm to touch during exposure, it means they are near to burn. Move them to shade ASAP! The best however is to filter the sunlight if you wish to expose them the whole day. I place them under a tree that filters the sunlight, not totally blocking them, if no tree exists there, black net placed above them will do, try 2-ply first then decrease if your catts seem to need more. Now, if the foliage exhibit a light-green colour vs. the dark green, then it shows you are giving them right amount of light.
After the light requirement, considering that they have developing pseudobulbs that are candidate for pregnant sheaths, fertilize weekly but weakly with bloom booster, foliar type for me is good. Twice monthly, with the use of a sprinkler, "flush" them with very clean water for a minute of more to flush out mineral deposits that accumulated in the whole pot. Remember that not all of the fertilizers are utilized, some are deposited and is unusable.
Good tip, the fish-washings encourages blooming due to the minerals it contains. I have learned that Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulfate) sprayed weekly at 1 Tsp/gallon works wonders. I have proven it already since i experimented not giving Epsom and the sheaths produced are devoid of flower buds!
Lastly, care for the watering cycle, as it may rot valuable pseudos candidate for blooms. Along with well-ventilated and lighted environment, your catts will not have reasons to rebloom.
Best wishes!

If you would like to contribute to the Special Needs Program, please be sure to send
your donation clearly marked for the "special needs spotlight Fund"
Lilly was almost dead when she was found on July 2nd, and I believe she would have died that day had she not been found & taken by a caring person to a vet. She weighed only 5 lbs 2 oz when found. Lilly came to us the next
day for foster care.
We attributed her condition to starvation, a diagnosis with which two vets concurred. She was so weak she could not walk more than a few steps before her hind legs gave way and she fell over. We began feeding her 1 tsp food
every hour, which we eventually increased, to 1 Tbsp every hour. Lilly had no problem keeping food down but water was another matter. Each time she drank, she regurgitated copious amounts of clear or frothy "slime".
Our vet believed Lilly might have swallowed something, which was causing an obstruction so an endoscopy was performed. It showed nothing of significance. During this exam, our vet found that one of Lilly's lower canines was growing into the roof of her mouth. She had hoped to remove the tooth but Lilly's small, fragile bone structure made that impossible, so off Lilly went to a doggie dentist. He found after x-raying her jaw, that one side is larger than the other, and that she had another tooth which prevented her from closing her mouth. The imbalance of her jaw has caused
her tongue to hang out the left side of her mouth. He pulled one tooth, did a root canal on the other, drilled down the entire tooth & sealed it. He thinks her jaw deformity was caused by a botched delivery. Lilly was found
in an area known for puppy mills. Lilly is unable to lick the right side of her face and occasionally carries
her left rear leg. We can find no cause for these conditions other than probable results of a bad birth.
Lilly began to gain weight but the water problem remained. Finally, 7 weeks after she came to us, she had a barium-swallow X-ray that finally gave us the cause of her basic problem. Lilly had megaesophagus, which is an enlarged esophagus that allows food or water to pool in the esophagus rather than passing through to the stomach. There is no cure for megaesophagus, although it sometimes reverses if it is caused by a primary condition, which is not the case with Lilly.
Since her diagnosis, we have done extensive research and found that the best method for dealing with her condition is to feed frequent small meals with the dog in an upright position, and then have the dog remain in that position for at least 20 minutes after eating. An adopter of ours (thank you Kim & Jordan Rose ) who has a Boston with similar symptoms sent us photographs of her Boston standing in a mail box for her meals. We got a mailbox for Lilly, and it is working really well for her. In addition to helping with her megaesophaugs problem I think the standing position is helping to strengthen her leg, since she seldom carries it any more, in fact, Lilly can jump at least a foot straight up with no problem, and she can run like a gazelle. She is a little ballerina.
We feed Lilly 4 times a day, a third of a cup of food every 4 hours, and then an ounce and a half of water with a syringe orally 2 hours after each feeding. Lilly is also receiving two supplements to help her gain weight and strength. It is our hope that Lilly will be able eventually to cut back to three feedings a day, but there is no guarantee of this.
Lilly is also being treated for a staph & yeast infection on her feet, which her vet feels was caused by her previous malnutrition.
Progress is being made, now that we know what to treat and how to treat it. As of her vet visit on September 27, Lilly weighs 10 lb 10 oz, a 100% increase since she came to us!
Lilly is a wonderful, loving, smart, typical Boston Terrier. In fact, I have to say I believe that Lilly is brilliant! Her eyes just gleam with intelligence. She loves toys, and loves to sit in our laps, and she is a real snuggle bunny. Lilly is house and crate trained.
If you would like to help us with Lilly's expenses (which now total more than $1200) please send donations to Lilly's sponsor, Boston Terrier Rescue Net, via PayPal to firstname.lastname@example.com or by mail to:

Please note in your donation that it is for Lilly. Your donation will be tax deductible to the full amount allowed by the law.
Lastly, but most certainly not least, we are looking for the perfect home for Lilly. Someone who will be able to devote the time needed to help Lilly but reap the wonderful rewards of love and companionship that she offers. If you would like more information please contact , and please put "Lilly" in the subject header.

Lilly is Ready for Her Forever Home
Those of you who have been following Lilly's story know that she came into rescue in July 2006 and was later determined to have megaesophagus, a very small opening to the pylorus, demodectic mange, and a yeast infection. These conditions only became known over a period of months which delayed any treatment she needed, but the diagnosis was finally complete and Lilly began to receive the appropriate medicines in addition to the TLC she had been getting in her foster home all along. Now, nearly 10 months after her rescue began, Lilly is ready to be placed with a loving parent or family where she can get the special care she needs for the rest of her life.
Aside from the megaesophagus and pylorus conditions - which cannot be cured but can be treated and managed - Lilly is a happy, healthy (yes, healthy!), loving, and energetic Boston. She weighs 10 ½ lbs these days, twice her weight when she came into rescue, and she rarely has the "explosive" regurgitations that were regular events before her treatments began. The mange is gone, the yeast infection is gone, and she gets a dose of Cisapride 30 minutes before each meal to keep her megaesophagus under control, which it does to a large extent. She eats a combination of Wellness Fish and Sweet Potato (ground dry plus canned) and loves it, and it has been very good for her.
Lilly is now ready for the "right" home, that rare home where the people recognize her special needs and have the time and commitment to provide for them. She will never be totally free of her dribbling/spitting up/regurgitation condition, so she can't just run loose in the home 100% of the time. (If she does, invest in large rolls of paper towels and the gallon size jug of stain remover!) She is content to spend much of her day in her comfy crate, but she does need and loves to be with people, especially sitting beside you or on your lap.
The perfect home for Lilly is one where the people are at home full-time or at least most of the time, where there are no other pets who need to have water or food trays out all the time (these are both no-no's for Lilly, who has to get her food and water in her stand), and where the love for this special little girl makes it worth the time it takes to feed her, give her water, and watch her as she runs and jumps about, either in the house or in a fenced yard. She loves sunshine and warmth, and is not particularly fond of rain, snow, and cold weather. Lilly is a young dog (less than 3 years) and will have a long, happy, healthy life in a home that recognizes and sees to her needs.
Are you the person Lilly needs? If you think you may be, if you believe you can provide for her special needs and give her the stable, loving, permanent home she needs for many years to come, get in touch with us right away at email@example.com. Please include your phone number so that Lilly's foster mom can contact you.

Lilly's Story Continues
Many of you supported Lilly's struggle for good health and a great home with your prayers and good wishes, and many supported her with monetary contributions that were applied to her considerable expenses.
We have taken what we believe is the next step in locating the right home for Lilly by placing her in an environment that has a much higher probability of finding a good home for her.
On Friday, May 4, 2007, we placed Lilly in the Saint Francis Animal Sanctuary.
Lilly has joined a dozen small dogs living in the owner's home and will live there forever unless another family adopts her.
Follow-up telephone conversations with Debbie Parker, the sanctuary's owner, confirm that Lilly is fitting in well with the other dogs and is eating well. Debbie says she has fallen in love with her new "baby".
We thank all of you who extended your prayers and provided financial support in getting Lilly to this point in her recovery, and we encourage you to continue to support her in her new home. You can show your support of Boston Rescue by sending contributions for Lilly to the sanctuary. (The sanctuary is non profit 501c3)
We will continue to track Lilly's progress and will let you know of any further changes in her status. Also, BTRN will be posting another Special Needs dog shortly, and we hope you will help him or her as you have helped Lilly.
If you would like to contribute to the special needs spotlight, please be sure to send your donation clearly marked for the "special needs spotlight Fund" to
Boston Terrier Rescue Net, via PayPal to firstname.lastname@example.com or by mail to:
P.O. Box 734

Donors names will initially be posted to the special needs spotlight
page and subsequently to the Wall Of Thanks.

Markers on a map represent elements that are tied to a location. These could be static objects such as buildings or dynamic events such as earthquake locations. The typical use case for markers is to associate information in a data visualization to specific locations on the map and display them meaningfully.
Markers are configured with two basic elements:
- Marker data – location and filtering of the queried data
- Marker style – color, shape and optional 'clustering' (the representation of markers indicating more than one data point at the same location)
Markers can also be designed to be proportional, where their features vary according to the variations in the data being represented. You can use differences in marker size, color, and transparency to illustrate the relative values within the dataset. For example, a marker representing an earthquake magnitude can be larger for stronger earthquakes and smaller for weaker ones.
Geovisualization allows you to create different kinds of markers; see Drawing Data-Driven Markers for details.
The following are examples of markers created with Geovisualization. Click the images to view the full code for these examples.

Moonlight Movies in the park (last one of the summer)
So we enjoyed the last one so well...we decided to go again. This time it was the last one of the summer. It was at the Duck Pond park in Temecula. The movie of the night was "Aladdin". Of course because it's the not the Disney that Konnor is used to, he wasn't too interested. However, it's one of my all time favorite Disney movies.

A vast array of some of Cork's finest talents were on show in a packed Pavilion last night, all in aid of raising funds to help the folks of Rossport in their plight against Shell.
Half Man Part Bicycle, who kicked proceedings off* just after 10 o'clock, are gathering momentum with indefatigable frontman Kevin Cummins intent on proving that guy who called him "destructible" all those years ago wrong. Their punk-rock is energetic if not original but tough to focus on (in a good way!) - with Cummins throwing himself off-stage whenever the chance arose - yet highly entertaining all the same. It will be interesting to hear the debut EP when it arrives in the next few months.
Prog-rock mentalists Lamp have added a third wheel to their fascinating, multi-coloured bicycle with a second guitarist joining Shane and Timmy (you may know him as Ted) in recent months. Would the addition unbalance the duo? Turns out not at all with Lamp's output sounding bigger and madder than ever, with the gaps and breaks filled out nicely without shifting their original noise too far in any specific direction. More a three-wheel monstrous Harley than a wobbly, three-for-the-price-of-four wheel Lada.
G-Man favourites Trumpets of Jericho released Songs Like An Alum Ut Its Nor Really (streaming in full here), an outstanding debut record that proves a band can experiment with different sounds yet completely retain their sense of self. 'Nothing To Get Up For', 'Paddy's Revolt' (both finding Tom's voice in fine fettle) and a few new tunes make an appearance in what is an impressive precursor to the "official" album launch that takes place in the same venue in a couple of weeks (Saturday, April 14th). Also a shout out to frontman Tom's "i love my wife" emblazoned over a Steve Earle tee.
A major flaw with showcases, fundraisers or any other type of event that features a large number of acts is the stop/start nature with so much time and momentum lost during the changeovers. On hand to keep the adrenaline pumping was Carl Plover aka Wasps Vs Humans who did an admirable job as MC for the night, not only keeping things ticking over with some slam-dunk poetry but also introducing the bands before their sets. It is staggering the effect a short introduction such as "This is HOPE. IS. NOISE." can do for setting a good vibe in a venue. Simple yet effective.
Come midnight Hope Is Noise once again ably pulled on the headliner boots which are starting to fit quite comfortably these days. The quartet blaze through 'Das Ich', 'Peace And Quiet', 'Altitude Sickness', 'All Love and Nothing', and 'Two Gods Short Of My Trinity' before this blown away blog-hound reluctantly leaves due to a "roof caving in incident at home". In truth, such trivialities should never get in the way of a band who are honing in on their peak. With three studio albums now under their shiny belts, childhood friends Dan, Pat, Joe and Louis have evidently stacked up a serious armoury of rock anthems. If Hope Is Noise are not headlining (at least small) tents at Irish festivals this Summer it will be a travesty. Are you listening Cork X Southwest and Indiependence? Well you should have been last night. ;)

Terry Winters Prints 1999-2014
Terry Winters' beautiful graphic works use patterns that recall biological forms and mathematical formulae. This summer a wide selection of the American artist's print works is on show as a part of the Louisiana On Paper exhibition series.
Terry Winters (b. 1949 in Brooklyn, New York) is also a painter, but it is in prints that he displays his whole potential. Few artists have explored the nooks and crannies of this medium to the same extent as Winters, and he is considered one of the most searching and prolific artists of his generation. The expression in Winters' graphic universe is about spaces and systems behind the visible world, and in his artworks Terry Winters has always sought out a metaphysics of hidden forces and energies that transcends the creative process.
Theatrical art, dance and music are also strong sources of inspiration for Winters. In his work rhythm, time, motion and light are visualized as open, dynamic elements that all influence one another.
The exhibition is presented in collaboration with Colby College Museum of Art, Waterville, Maine and Staatliche Graphische Sammlung, Munich.
C.L. Davids Fond og Samling has supported the exhibition.

GM, in their wisdom decided to spin the clock back about 7 years and they started importing this car which looks like GM handed Isuzu the build sheets on the 1969 OPEL Kadett and told them to start building it. This seemed like a great idea at the time, only because Nissan, Toyota and fledgling Honda were all gaining in popularity because they were much less expensive than the German small car offerings.
The car was not successful and it was ruining the OPEL brand identity in the US. I was living in OK at the time, but I think I could still hear the Germans screaming on days when the wind wasn't blowing too hard.
GM fixed the brand identity problem by just giving the Isuzu front billing and dropping the OPEL badges and the subterfuge (it was even called the Buick Opel for a few years). These were horrible little cars which eventually evolved into the Isuzu I-Mark Diesel.
See another German badged Japanese step-sister rusting in someone's yard?

text: Bonus sharesWarning: This information may not apply to the current year. Check the content carefully to ensure it is applicable to your circumstances. End of attention If you receive bonus shares on or after 20 September 1985, you may have to pay tax if you make a capital gain when a CGT event happens to them - for example, you sell them. Rules for modifying the cost base and reduced cost base of bonus shares depend on whether the bonus shares are taxed as a dividend. Many bonus shares issued before 1 July 1987 were paid out of a company's non-taxable capital profits, from asset revaluations or from share premiums. Bonus shares issued in those circumstances are not usually treated as taxable dividends. The paid-up value of most bonus shares issued from 1 July 1987 to 30 June 1998 is taxed as a dividend. The only exception to this rule is where the bonus shares were paid out of what used to be a share premium account. In this case, the paid-up value of the bonus shares is not treated as a dividend. Changes from 1 July 1998. With the elimination of par value for shares under the Company Law Review Act 1998, a distinction is no longer drawn between a share premium and paid-up capital. There is now a share capital account which comprises both paid-up capital and share premiums. A share premium account no longer exists. As a result of these changes to the company law and changes to taxation laws, the paid-up value of bonus shares is now generally not taxed as a dividend. An exception to this rule is where a shareholder has a choice whether to be paid a cash dividend or to be issued shares under a dividend reinvestment plan. These shares are treated as dividends and the amount of the dividend is included in the shareholder's assessable income. There are other circumstances where the bonus shares will be taxed as a dividend but these are not very common. Briefly, they occur where: the bonus shares are being substituted for a dividend to give a tax advantage OR the company directs bonus shares to some shareholders and dividends to others to give them a tax benefit. If you need more information, please contact the Australian Taxation Office. Flow chart 1 in appendix C summarises the different rules which apply to different bonus shares issued on or after 20 September 1985. Last modified: 18 Sep 2009QC 18323

When Child Protective Services becomes involved with a family the impacts can be surprising and things happen fast. Even if you are confident you have done nothing wrong, the agency's mission is to protect children and an investigation is a serious matter.
If you have been contacted by Child Protective Services or are being investigated, it's important that you retain experienced legal representation right away. The consequences of a CPS case can be significant, and your rights are very different than they are in the court systems. For example, a social worker can speak with your child without your consent and without you being present. Interviews are required to be electronically recorded (with a few exceptions).
The Virginia Department of Social Services manages Child Protective Services (CPS) and is required by law to act in response to valid reports of suspected child mistreatment and evaluate child safety. If you have been contacted by CPS there's a good chance they have received a report of possible abuse or child neglect.
The most common investigations we see are related to suspected assault on a child, child neglect or abuse. Anyone can make a report and it can be done anonymously, which can lead to investigations stemming from a misunderstanding or perceived wrongdoing.
An investigation will also likely included photographs of the child and living conditions. In cases of suspected injuries, the CPS can make arrangements for a medical evaluation without your consent. Although a Child Protective Services investigation is not a court proceeding, you do have the right to speak with a lawyer and be represented by an attorney. In some cases an investigation can lead to criminal charges and in other a criminal charge is taken out simultaneously with the CPS investigation. Although, you have the right to appeal any CPS investigation findings, don't wait until a finding has been determined to speak to an attorney. Hiring an attorney immediately can have a significant impact on the outcome of your finding.
CPS Dispositions:
Protective Orders normally accompany any CPS Investigation and/or Criminal Charge for Domestic Assault.
Sometimes a CPS investigation can leave parents feeling confused and not knowing where to turn. Parents have rights and defense attorney Jerrell R. Johnson of JRLaw PLC is an experienced Virginia Beach criminal defense attorney well versed in the juvenile court system and Child Protective Services investigations. If you have been contacted by Child Protective Services or a social worker regarding your child or children, it's a good idea to speak with a lawyer experienced in these matters.

Hostess, Bakers' Union Agree To Negotiate To Save 18,000 Jobs
Hostess Brands Inc. agreed in court on Monday to enter private mediation with its lenders and leaders of a striking union to try to avert the liquidation of the maker of Twinkies snack cakes and Wonder Bread.
Hostess, its lenders and the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, agreed to mediation at the urging of Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain of the Southern District of New York, who preferred it to the more expensive public hearing regarding the company's liquidation.
"My desire to do this is prompted primarily by the potential loss of over 18,000 jobs as well as my belief that there is a possibility to resolve this matter," Drain said.
The 82-year-old Hostess company is seeking permission to liquidate its business, claiming that its operations had been crippled by a bakers strike and that winding down operations is the best way to preserve its dwindling cash.
More:Jobless Claims Jump, Hurricane Sandy BlamedHostess suspended operations at all of its 33 plants across the United States last week as it moved to start selling assets.
Hostess faces several objections to its liquidation plan.
The U.S. Trustee, an agent of the U.S. Department of Justice who oversees bankruptcy cases, said in court documents that it is opposed to the wind-down plan because Hostess plans improper bonuses to company insiders.
Several unions also objected to the company's plans, saying that they made "a mockery" of laws protecting collective bargaining agreements in bankruptcy. The Teamsters, which represents 7,900 Hostess workers, said the company's plan would improperly cut the ability of remaining workers to use sick days and vacation.

Blue Hawks Sweep Vikes 16-30, 21-30, 24-
Nov 3rd, 2003 @ 8:22 am | Author: Nathan Aakre, Viking Sports Staff
The Viking volleyball team took on a tough Dickinson State University Blue Hawk team Saturday afternoon in Grachien Gym. The Vikes came into the game with a 7-18 record and looking for their first win in the DAC-10, while DSU entered the match with a 23-5 record and unbeaten in DAC-10 play. This would definitely be a challenge for the young Viking team.
The Vikes held their own for much of the first game, down only 11-10 early in the game. Dickinson went on a little run, and forced Valley City State to take a timeout down 12-17. Out of the timeout, the Blue Hawks went on a 13-4 run to close out the game 30-16 and take a 1-0 lead in the match.
The second game was also very close as the Vikes battled and repeatedly fought back against every run that the Blue Hawks made. They cut the DSU lead late in the game to four at 24-20. Dickinson State called a timeout, and ultimately took the momentum away from the Vikings, scoring 6 out of the last 7 points, despite the relentless effort of the young Viking team to hold their own, to take game 2 30-21, and a 2-0 lead.
Dickinson State looked to put the finishing touch on the Vikes early in game 3, coming out of the gates with the first 7 points. Once again, however, the Vikings never gave up and fought their way back into the game slowly, and eventually cut the DSU lead to 3 at 22-19. The Blue Hawks again fought off every run by the Vikes and held them off in the end to win game 3 30-24, and also the match 3-0 over VCSU.
This dropped the Viking record to 7-19 overall and 0-11 in the conference. VCSU will have their final home and regular season game Wednesday, November 5th, in Grachien Gym at 7:00.

Glucosamine and chondroitin
Before taking glucosamine and chondroitin you should first consider the evidence in relation to your condition. There have been limited, high quality studies for glucosamine and chondroitin and their effectiveness remains unclear, particularly for severe arthritis. However both glucosamine and chondroitin have been found to be as safe as placebo (fake pills), with fewer side effects than some other medicines.
What is glucosamine?
Glucosamine is a sugar naturally produced by the body. It is one of the building blocks of cartilage. Cartilage covers and protects the ends of the bones, allowing bones to move smoothly against each other. Glucosamine comes in two forms – glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride. Glucosamine supplements are usually made from crab, lobster or shrimp shells, although some supplements are made from a plant form of glucosamine. They are available as tablets or liquid and often in combination with chondroitin.
What is chondroitin?
Chondroitin is also a natural substance found in the body. It is believed to help draw water and nutrients into the cartilage, keeping it spongy and healthy. Chondroitin is available as chondroitin sulfate supplements, which are made from bovine (cow) or shark cartilage.
While their effectiveness remains unclear, it appears glucosamine and chondroitin are relatively safe treatment options for people with OA to trial.
How do these supplements help arthritis?
It is believed these supplements may be useful for people with osteoarthritis (OA), where there has been a breakdown of cartilage. It is thought that taking glucosamine and/or chondroitin supplements may relieve the pain and prevent or slow the breakdown of cartilage in OA. Note, most of the studies have looked only at OA of the knee, with very few studies of other joints (for example, hips, hands, back). To date there is no evidence that these supplements are effective for any other forms of arthritis.
What does the research say?
Glucosamine sulphate
- Pain: opinion is divided about the effectiveness of glucosamine sulfate on pain. In some studies, glucosamine improved pain from OA of the knee more than placebo (fake pills). However in other studies, pain improved about the same whether people took glucosamine or placebo.
- Cartilage: there is some evidence that glucosamine sulfate can slow cartilage breakdown in the knee.
Glucosamine hydrochloride
- Studies suggest the hydrochloride form is not effective in relieving pain. The effect of glucosamine hydrochloride on cartilage has not been tested.
- Pain: there are mixed results from studies of chondroitin. Some studies have found chondroitin reduces pain more than placebo. However other studies have found no improvement in pain with chondroitin.
- Cartilage: there is some evidence that chondroitin supplements slow cartilage breakdown or repair damaged cartilage from knee OA.
- Recent studies have shown that the combination of glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin may be effective in slowing the breakdown of cartilage in the early stages of knee OA. Research has also shown that the combination may help in reducing moderate to severe knee pain from OA.
Overall, the results from studies of glucosamine and chondroitin are unclear. There have been some promising results that these supplements may improve pain slightly in the short-term (less than six months). However many studies show little benefit. While their effectiveness remains unclear, it appears glucosamine and chondroitin are relatively safe treatment options for people with OA to trial.
What is the recommended dose?
- Glucosamine sulfate: 1500mg per day
- Glucosamine hydrochloride: 1500mg per day (note, glucosamine sulfate is suggested to be more effective)
- Chondroitin sulfate: 800 – 1000mg per day
Different brands contain different amounts of glucosamine and chondroitin. Read the label carefully to see how many tablets you need to take to get the right dose or ask your pharmacist for advice.
How long will it take to notice an effect?
You may need to take the supplements for four to six weeks before you notice any improvement. If there is no change in your symptoms by then, it's likely the supplements will not be of benefit for you and it's advisable you talk to your doctor about other ways of managing your arthritis.
What are the possible risks?
- Shellfish allergy: most glucosamine supplements are made from shellfish although some made from non-shellfish sources are now available. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist, before taking it, about whether the supplement is safe for you.
- Bleeding: people taking the blood thinning medicine warfarin should talk to their doctor before starting, stopping or changing their dose of glucosamine as it may interact with warfarin and make the blood less likely to clot.
- Diabetes: glucosamine is a type of sugar so check with your doctor before taking glucosamine if you have diabetes.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women: there have not been enough long term studies to clearly say that glucosamine is safe for a developing baby. Pregnant women should talk to their doctor before taking glucosamine.
- Other side effects: upset stomach (for example, diarrhoea), headaches, and skin reactions. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about possible side effects before taking glucosamine.
- Bleeding: people taking blood thinning medicines, such as warfarin, should talk to their doctor before taking chondroitin as it may increase the risk of bleeding.
- Other side effects: chondroitin may also occasionally cause stomach upsets.

Hello Dolls,
In the June Issue of Elle Magazine (The one with Miley cyrus on the cover), There was a free mascara that came with the issue. When I first bought the issue I simply took out the They're Real mascara without taking much notice of it and put it on my make up counter with no actual intention of using it as most freebies in magazines are just kinda subpar to proper Quality make up products. Little did I know that This product would be so GREAT !
Ok let me cut the story as short as I possibly can, I eventually read the label and saw it was a Benefit products and i already use Benefits Porefessional primer so I used the mascara and discovered it to be one of the best mascaras I have ever used with lasting results as well. Extremely suitable for parties and events. So right now it's my Favourite Mascara and I will be "Stalling" it down to the nearest Benefit counter to get the full-sized version.
The product featured above is just the smaller version of the actual product which retails for €26/£19.50 in Debenhams or at Benefit counters in the Uk and Ireland.
- Long lasting
- precision applicator
- Amplified results
- Great little packaging
____Only if being too good of a product is a con ?____
If your looking for a brilliant and volumising mascara then I highly recommend Benefits they're Real.
Got some great news Girls, so last week Benefit announced that they will be opening their first ever Benefits Boutique in Dublin on South William Street, Dublin.This means there will be Nails bars,eyebrow threading,waxing and everything us girls love. Also with their promise to have us leaving with a smile on our faces, I definitely cant wait till they start taking appointments.
I'm ridiculously excited,now I know where I will be stocking up on my favorite Benefit products !

Do I Have To Fall Asleep With Roses In My Hands
Well today's been particulaly uneventful. I lost my mp3 player on the bus on the way home from school today which sucks a lot. I don't have any homework today. Which is awesome. I'm in a John Mayer mood so I'm listening to all his songs. Over and over again. The wind outside is blowing and I just want to curl up in my bed with a good book. We had an orchestra party today, that I forgot to bring stuff too. I just read for the whole party, I didn't want to do anything else.

Fact: Emma Watson never disappoints when it comes to public speaking.
Whether she's schooling the world on feminism at a United Nations conference (standard), or repping our fave Disney Princess at the MTV Movie Awards, you can always trust the 27-year-old to serve up some uncensored realness.
Last night at the Awards show in Los Angeles, California, the Harry Potter star took to the stage to collect her gong for 'Best Actor' in Beauty and the Beast in celebration of her role as über feminist icon, Belle.
That's right, not best female – best actor, full stop.
This year, the MTV Awards did away with gendered categories, to many people's applause (and some people's chagrin...), following in the footsteps of the Grammys, which has long celebrated gender-neutral nominations.
So, as the first person to win the genderless award, Emma seized the opportunity to get on that soapbox we so love her for.
In her speech, the British star thanked MTV for creating a genderless award category that highlights 'the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes' rather than gender, former actresses who have also played Belle, and spoke about the most important messages from the film.
Here's her full speech:
Wow. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Firstly, I feel I have to say something about the award itself. The first acting award in history that doesn't separate nominees based on their sex says something about how we perceive the human experience. MTV's move to create a genderless award for acting will mean something different to everyone. But to me, it indicates that acting is about the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes. And that doesn't need to be separated into two different categories. Empathy and the ability to use your imagination should have no limits.
This is very meaningful to me. Both to be winning the award and to be receiving it from you, Asia [Kate Dillon]. Thank you for educating me in such—in such an inclusive, patient, and loving way. Thank you so much. I think I'm being given this award for a performance as an actor, but it doesn't feel like that what it's really for, although I am very grateful if you did think that I did a good job because the whole singing part of the situation was pretty terrifying—yeah, not kidding about that part!
But more seriously, I think I am being given this award because of who Belle is and what she represents. The villagers in our fairy tale wanted to make Belle believe that the world is smaller than the way she saw it, with fewer opportunities for her—that her curiosity and passion for knowledge and her desire for more in life were grounds for alienation. I loved playing someone who didn't listen to any of that. I'm so proud to be a part of a film that celebrates diversity, literacy, inclusion, joy, and love the way that this one does.
I want to thank Linda Woolverton for writing the original Belle, Jeanne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont for writing what the animated movie was based on, and Paige O'Hara for playing Belle in the original. And I want to thank every single person who voted for me. Thank you so much. Taraji [P. Henson], I can't see you, but Daniel [Kaluuya], James [McAvoy], Hailee [Steinfeld], all of you, it's a privilege to have been nominated alongside you. Lastly I want to thank any one and everyone who had anything to do with giving me this opportunity and for supporting me on that journey. You know who you are, and I can't thank you enough. Thank you so, so much.
Hear hear, Emma.

137Posted: January 27, 2017 Filed under: Fiction | Tags: Failure of Intelligence, I.Q., Marital Bliss, Sex, Sex & Psychology, Short Story, Story, Unfulfilment of Promises 1 Comment
In the bed, like every day, under an unceremonious compulsion, Mr. Biswas began to count.
It was by 137 he had to stop. Mrs. Biswas opened her eyes to see Mr. Biswas was crying.
Her husband was a sensitive fellow, she knew. Who had written a love poem on her last birthday and bought her The Selected Poems by Jibanananda Das, an old Bengali poet. She didn't care to read the book but was thrilled to find her name on the second blank page.
"In the lotus hands of darling Nirmala" handwritten in cursive by the husband and that was enough for her.
"What happened? What happened?" she asked Mr. Biswas with furrowed brows. The hollow of her eyes had sunken further in mild anxiety. The loose end of her sari was spread across the Mickey Mouse bed cover.
"I was smart once, Nirmala. My IQ was 137, once." Mr. Biswas said, crying.
Mrs. Biswas got up in the bed, coaxed her unruly hair back with her fingers and sighed.
It was an old story fashioned by her husband, but an every day one. That when Mr. Biswas was young, he was a brilliant student; particularly good in mathematics and geography; as much as when a psychologist from Kolkata had visited the school, he had found him in possession of an abnormally high IQ, higher than everyone in the class.
That only should have settled his future, ensuring him a rewarding life. The unbridled enthusiasm in the teachers' room at the event and the extra affection that had been showered upon him aftermath were tremendous. So much so that Mr. Biswas would end up being a private tutor of English, in this small sub-divisional town, for a small monthly sum, was nobody's prediction.
The meanhearted among the relatives who had followed Mr. Biswas's career path eagerly went as far as calling it a psychological disaster.
Mr. Biswas, himself, believed the psychologist though. He had believed in his lucid explanation of the esoteric theories, his seemingly strict science. Moreover, he still felt a great surge of emotion just below the rib cage that sometimes felt like a violent thud of a hammer that he fondly named inspiration that called to wake him up time to time.
Those moments were magical. The day then would suddenly seem colourful and cheery. Every town folk would seem capable and overtly friendly. The town itself would look like preparing for Diwali. Even the unkempt shrubs at the front garden would seem at ease and in wait for a benevolent sun.
Those moments didn't last. He would wake up in the morning to hear the old mother mumbling- pungent curses- for him not buying her a tout medicine for running stomach: for receiving a son's brazen disobedience, instead of careful service by his dead father. His friends- acquiring permanent jobs- of peonship, teachership- by bribing, political canvassing- making Mr. Biswas feel incapable and jealous. The god-fearing wife (His marriage was well below his intellectual stature and lack of faith), with a slivered face and buxom legs applying Fair & Lovely to her skin before going to bed and coaxing him to join her; not with words but with a befuddling elbow nudge. The spell of the magic long broken, Mr. Biswas found an escape from the ignominy of hopelessness, by alienating and hating the world, especially her.
He had devised, in fact, a silent but elaborate torture. He had decided he would remain aloof when he entered her. It was a difficult plan for him to execute. Thinking about other unrelated topics during the intercourse, for example, geography- all the wonderful places in the world – invariably took him to pleasure. Pondering upon art took him to the memories of his favourite actresses; those imaginary faces of the movie starlets made him hurry up. Many trials and tribulations later, his old studious pride came to his rescue. He began to count his thrusts.
As the act progressed, he became more and more engulfed in a cloud of supremacy and, with every increase of the count imperiously separated from her.
That he broke down today was surprising, even to himself. The obvious emotional surrender to his wife made him overly distraught.
Mrs. Biswas could sense her husband and begged, "You were smart. You are smart. You will always be. No one can take that from you. But enough about yourself, now that you have a daughter, think about her."
Mr. Biswas sneered, "Don't talk about daughter. She is only like you. An idiot. Doesn't even know the capital of Mongolia."
Mrs. Biswas said, "But she passes her exams."
"Everyone passes exams!" he said, in a fury.
Mrs. Biswas was obstinate. She said, "She passes her exams and she studies everyday. She tries and tries, but never complains. Probably she will go far because she doesn't carry any of your burdens- "
That made Mr. Biswas calm.
Mrs. Biswas- God knows how- making sense.
He said, "We will teach her English well, Nirmala. We will send her to Kolkata and thereafter to Sweden- that's in Europe if you don't know- for higher studies. The education is free and they speak English there."
The mood lifted, as the moments passed, and as he became more and more satisfied with the plan, Mr. Biswas strode upon Mrs. Biswas again, and penetrated her.
This time he chose not to count his thrusts, instead, secretly submitted himself to pleasure.
A Love StoryPosted: February 15, 2015 Filed under: Fiction | Tags: Caste War, City Love, Debt, Fiction, Love, Love Story, Rom-Com, Rom-Tra, Romance, Short Story, Unrequited Love, Valentine's Day Leave a comment
At the end the boy was sobbing like a girl and the girl couldn't care less, like a boy. After the coffee was over, and Whitney Houston sang, "And I-hi-hi-hi, hi-hi-hi will all-waysss love you-hu-hu, hu-hu." Twice! If it could have waited a little more, the solemn pious gang, she would have obliged the patrons with another encore soon.
Audibly, the coffee shop didn't own many tracks and the manager worried so much about the billing he lacked variety in musical taste. The din and the hustle bustle that drowned sorrows and day to day loneliness floated like pink heart shaped balloons, provided solace when the music was not sufficient.
Even then, everything would turn pleasantly for better. The boy and the girl, desperately in love, would exchange cards showing a checkered capped, bare breasted boy toddler kissing a willing and rosy girl toddler dressed in a frilly frock. They would exchange gifts wrapped in red and golden paper and say 'I love you' to each other. The sound of that in that crowded place would instantly turn into noise.
'What what?'
'What did you say?'
'You know what I said.' The girl blushed.
'I don't know.'
'You know-o.' The girl blushed again.
'I don't know, I swear.' The boy was serious like hell.
'I said what you said.'
'What did I say?'
It went on. Not a terribly interesting piece of conversation. If you were a little practical- say, 'you do what you got to do' kind of practical- you would see it was meaningless. Get a room, boy. Take her home. You could barely stop yourself hollering across the coffee shop.
Home? The boy was from Akola. A Banjara boy. He stayed in the city with five other clueless, 'all dying to have a girl friend' friends in a one BHK. A trainee graphic designer. There was obviously no money. There was, of course, no room.
How about the girl? Why, hadn't she had one? Oh, she had. But, it belonged to her City Corporator father. Bolstered by the Maratha votes, he had amassed what one man generally wished to amass in a life time. Power, prestige, a BMW. Seven flats and row houses. And several farm houses. Ninety acres of land. Big property, nothing hers.
For those hapless lovers, there was nowhere to go, the noise of the coffee house being their privacy and the noise being the memory of their early disappointments.
It was not always like this. When the boy had come to the city, he had been alone. Unattached. Fearless. He had come here to make money, woo the city girls and leave his mark. As an artist. As we all knew the art conquered the world.
It was difficult to get interviews though. More difficult for him was to impress the interviewers. To be recruited permanently with a steady salary seemed then utterly impossible. When he was coaxing his mother at night on the phone-"Don't worry, Aai, I will find a job soon."- he was coaxing himself too. The mother was apprehensive and it was not because she was familiar with the city job market. The father was in debt. "Sahukar came again today, Bala. Your father hid in the jungle. We have nobody else to ask. Do something." the mother said.
The best he could do was to get a trainee position with a minuscule stipend and impress a fellow trainee designer with his utter silence during the office hours and an inherent gloominess that came naturally to him.
"Look at us, sir-ji, talk sometimes." the girl teased. The entire helplessness of him was a safe playground for her. The more he went into silence, the more she danced around it with a gleeful abundance, a good natured girl, having no pride in being a daughter of a rich and powerful man.
"But the money, how to find money? I shouldn't be distracted." the boy thought.
"What does he think? Does he think of me? What does he think of me?" the girl thought.
"If we get married, her father will give us enough money and the debt will be paid." he thought again, wistfully. That made him smile. Made him a little bold, may be. That's when he felt like falling for her.
"Will he ever raise voice upon me? No, he won't. He is so nice. Can't the world see how nice he is? We will be happy together." the girl thought. She- what's the phrase?- blissfully followed his suit.
Then those days of whirlwind romance, as whirlwindy it could be in a caste conscious city. Holding hands in the darkness of the movie house, touching legs below the restaurant tables, brushing the breasts against his back while he was driving her Scooty. The boy had to almost close his eyes.
Her breasts were so soft they felt like pigeons. How illegal it might be, the Banjaras still hunted pigeons. He wouldn't hunt them though. He would protect them, look after them and make them his own.
And that lingering warm feeling, blood being shot everywhere in the body, the heart pumping extra fast. The boy could not look into her eyes. The girl winced at him and understood immediately. They were so in love, they were horny. One day, someday, they would get married, make love, have children- they were so made for each other. Today, regrettably, was not that day. So they waited till the coffee was over.
Then they heard the commotion. Did you hear the commotion?
You would hear it now. After the erudition.
After the liberalization, as the market opened up, the practice of American rituals in our country became extremely popular. Now, that was about to happen. Following (blindly?) the greatest civilization (!) in the world in itself is quite inspiring. But retaliation came surprisingly from some of the prominent political groups. Their leaders, not entirely against the market economy- a few of them benefitted immensely because of it- were worried, justifiably so, being the descendent of an ancient civilization, about the protection and the purity of the culture.
Let's call them the solemn pious gang. Shall we? Today being the Valentine's Day, they were untiringly hard at work.
If you had heard the commotion already that was they were climbing up the stairs, eager, passionate, dedicated to a cause. To the first floor, where the coffee house was located, where there was noise already, in which our boy and girl hid themselves from the world in a way only a romantic couple could.
"No, Dada, no!" the girl cried and rushed forward. The boy was still in a haze.
"Go home, Gauri, leave this to us." the man in a white kurta pajama and a brown goatee gasped. Manhandling a twenty two year old boy would tire him later. Thank God, the boy immediately cowered on the floor and was cooperating. It also seemed like the man, the leader, was somehow known to the girl. A brother, probably.
In our country, it was the brothers' responsibility, in absence of or in coordination with the fathers, to protect the dignity of the daughters of the house. This brother was dutiful. His gang of young men cordoned off, the best way they could, to protect the girl, without touching her, without looking at her secretly.
The man held the boy by his hair, shook his head a few times as if to give him clarity of thought. He didn't bring the superiority of his caste into conversation. That would be tactless. He was there only to put a show to his naive sister, how unworthy, how cowardly this son of a pig was. Things would have been easier if he could prove the boy as he actually was: greedy. That generally broke a young lover's heart. If he could only make the boy confess…
He kept shaking the boy's head. 'Tell, tell', he was shouting, 'why you hang around my sister? Why?' He slapped. 'Money?'. He slapped again. 'Money? Bad motive? What? What?'
The boy could remember about his mother, despite the violence, and his father, a tenacious Sahukar and some unborn children he imagined not so long ago. A silent boy he was, a trapped child himself, he could see they would not come and help him now. He was evidently in danger at a far way place, without a known way out. He would lose many things hereafter, his job, this girl, her city, he would see if he could save his life. Before losing consciousness, he shook his head.
He shook his head.
He lowered his head, as if in shame, and shook again.
Would you blame a twenty two year old girl for believing what she saw that evening, that ashamed nod, after being thoroughly talked to by her mother, grand mother, girl friends and her affectionate father? That would be harsh. You see, she had loved him too.
So the boy was laid unconscious, completely in discretion of the coffee house management, littered with blood and cash that would barely cover his hospital cost.
Years later the boy would be woken up and asked for money again.
"I need money dad. It's for the business. Trust me when I say this one will make money. Every dad helps. Every Dad. Can't you understand? Too old for that? I will pay back. Charge interest if you wish… You don't love me, pay some cash at least." A young man with a hope of making big stomped his foot in front of the boy.
The boy who looked like an old man now looked at his son and hated him. For his insolence, for his carelessness. 'If I would have been married to Gauri', he thought, 'I could have had a son like this. I would have hated him too.'
That brought him peace. Despite the onslaught of senility he could begin to understand that it didn't matter who he loved, who he slept with, with whom he spent his entire life hoping for better things to come.
Tears came trickling to him. Nothing was nothing.
But, that was at the end.
In the beginning it was a love story.

Visits and Days Off
My parents-in-law came to visit yesterday which was lovely. We went to Cardiff for the day and had a really super day. Today I am having a day off. I have been working very hard on the fabric book and it is easy to get obsessed and rush it. The exhibition is 4 weeks away....
I am going to cut out wheat again from my diet, it does not make me feel very well, but it is the only vegan food which seems very satisfying in small quantities. I am sure I will find some things, but any help would be appreciated! The bread machine is currently trying to cook a buckwheat loaf, but I am not sure how it will turn out!
I might go in to town today to pick up some fabric, but I am not sure it will be open as it is Easter Day tomorrow. I need some fabric for the fabric book pages, interfacing and probably some pink sheer fabric to make cherry blossom for one of the carvings. It is a wonderful Aladin's cave of a shop, I don't think they could get any more rolls in!

For those who want to be a part of improving our food system, the single best way to do that is to buy directly from farmers whenever possible. And because you'll not only be helping make the world a better place but also getting superior food for you and your family, it's a win-win.
To spread the goodness throughout the year, and to lower the cost, consider buying produce in bulk when it is at it's peak, and freezing or canning it for later. Local tomatoes for example are impossible to find in the winter for example, and grocery store tomatoes are bland and expensive. But the chances are good you can stock up on local organic tomatoes in the heart of the summer at a price much less than you'd pay for inferior tomatoes later in the year.
One of the best things about buying local, in my humble opinion, is that it enables people to eat seasonally, and follow the seasons through food. I try to remember to take a photo of our table every Saturday before the market opens. I haven't remembered to do that every day this year, but here are the shots I did get. Unfortunately I can never seem to get clear pictures at our market. In any event, these pictures show how our produce offerings change throughout the season.
This Saturday cantaloupes and purple hull peas will make their 2016 debut. And we've already started the seedlings for our fall gardens.
