~ There is no love stronger than a mother's love for her child ~
I think God knew I'd need this text after Chad was gone, and why only months before he died he sent this to me (I think talking into the phone). Although Chad was always thankful for the relationship we had, no, I wasn't a perfect mom, but I loved the best any mom could love.
Chad was a wonderful son, considerate, loving, respectful, always wanting to make sure I was okay. He was such a good boy. I don't ever remember having to scold him. Well, maybe a couple of times when he and his brother were squabbling. Actually, all my children were very well behaved. Chad deserved the very best in life; he gave so much; I pray that's what he has now. God knew my heart would break into a million pieces; he knows everything, and yet decided to allow this burden. At this point I can only give it to Him.
Below is the first part of the text from above (he usually talked into the phone:

It's been two weeks already, but I can't stop thinking of how much fun we had playing Springsteen songs at Mississippi Studios on November 27. Only a few of the performances have made it onto the internet — so far — but here are our two closing acts ripping the daylights out of "Because the Night" (one time for Corin Tucker!), "Fire" and "Born to Run" (the always breathtaking Storm Large. And yes, that IS her real name. How do these things happen?)
Just below those two you'll find a pair of lovely performances captured at the KINK-FM Bing Lounge earlier that same day. Casey Neill pulls off a beautiful cover of "Frankie," while Jim Brunberg, playing with Tufan, turns "Wreck on the Highway" into a small epic. Wow.

replaced master cilender bleed them still no brake
6 Answers
Exactly how did you bleed the master cylinder?
back then front right side, then the back and front left side
was that the right way. Blangman?
The master cylinder needs to be bled first. Usually there is a kit in the box to do this. Disconnect the brake lines on the master cylinder, connect the rubber hoses and insert in the resevoir of the master cylinder. Have some one slowly pump the brakes until all of the air bubbles are gone. Reconnect the brake lines and bleed brakes starting with the right rear then left rear right front and lastly left front. Sorry to say but when you installed the MC you put air throughout the system. It may take awhile but it will it will be ok.
One other thing. Make sure when you do bleed the brakes, the person holds down the pedal to the floor and leaves it there until you tighten the bleeder. Pump pump pump hold, loosen bleeder, then tighten bleeder screw.
I bleed my brakes and replaced the cylinder but have no brakes still why

text: So, I recently sold my LV white pearl coin purse. I shipped it out fedex ground with signature required and full insurance. I was in constant contact with the buyer to make sure she got it. Well, she wasn't home when fedex delivered. The fedex driver made a delivery exception and let her neighbor sign for it. Suppposedly, the neighbor left the box outside and the buyer is claiming that someone stole it. Am I being scammed??? I immediatley called Paypal to report it but they said it is the fault of fedex and they won't cover it. I filed a claim with fedex because their driver made a delvery exception that was not authorized and I am waiting for a response. I don't know what to do if fedex rejects the claim? Am I supposed to refund the buyers money? Then I am out the money & the product. Help!

I come from a long line of women who have expressed themselves using a needle and thread. Creating with various forms of fabric and thread have been part of my life since I was a child and my mother and great aunt taught me to sew, embroider and crochet. Once I discovered quilting about 25 years ago, it became my passion.
For a number of years, I used traditional methods and patterns and made many quilts by hand to decorate my home and to give as gifts. My first quilt was a queen sized bed quilt which I hand quilted to give to my husband as a wedding gift. While I continue to appreciate the beauty of traditional quilts, several years ago I began to feel the need to create my own designs so the quilts I made would be truly mine. Using the sewing machine freed me to pursue more of the design ideas in my head, while giving me the opportunity to add more creative lines to the surface of my designs than was previously possible. Many of my creations draw on the traditions of the past, but reinterpret them in a contemporary way. I am also inspired by the work of abstract painters like Matisse, Morris Louis and Mark Rothko, as a result of studying art history in college.
Creating art quilts is thrilling because I never know what the design is going to look like until the piece is finished. Typically I start with a fabric that speaks to me or a design idea, like freeform circles or diagonal bands of color. Then I decide on a color scheme and pull many different fabrics together to begin cutting and auditioning pieces on the design wall in my studio. Usually I put all of the pieces on the wall and rearrange them until I'm satisfied before I start sewing. Because there's no pattern to follow, seeing the interplay of color and design on the wall is integral to my creative process. Often the initial design idea is only faintly recognizable at the end because the choices of fabric, color and design interact in unexpected ways as the piece emerges.
I have a BA in art history from William and Mary and an MBA from George Washington University. I used quiltmaking as a creative outlet for many years as I pursued a career in financial journalism. My work has been shown in local and regional shows in the Washington, DC area, as well as nationally in venues from New York to California. My work is represented in a number of private collections, including a recent work commissioned by a collector for a contemporary home in Hollywood Hills, CA. I am now represented by Chasen Galleries in Richmond, VA, – Cindy Grisdela

X Factor's Final 5 took to the stage twice tonight to perform one track by their 'Heroes' and one personal 'Guilty Pleasure'.
Janet Devlin, Amelia Lily, Misha Bryan, Marcus Collins and Little Mix are all just two rounds away from The X Factor final, so the pressure was really on when they took to the stage at Fountain Studios.
As tension increases between the acts, the in-fighting between judges Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos, Kelly Rowland and Louis Walsh inevitably went up a notch as well.
If the acts can survive the chop in tomorrow's elimination, they will be one show away from a spot at X Factor's biggest ever final at Wembley Arena.
Look back at the Heroes and Guilty Pleasures performances from the final five acts below:

La Ventana's approach to eating disorder treatment is individually tailored, culturally sensitive, and grounded in evidence-based research. Much of our eating disorder recovery program is informed by the sensorimotor psychotherapy lens, which helps clients reclaim their bodies and work through both trauma and attachment issues that lead to disordered eating. Our multidisciplinary team expertly craft individual treatment plans that include psychiatric and medical care; individual, family, and group psychotherapy; and dietetic services with Registered Dietitians. Our treatment reestablishes the lost connection between the body and mind that is symptomatic of eating disorders and trauma through community, relationship, and normalized eating. We support and monitor health enhancing exercise which focuses on joyful movement and the re-establishment of the mind-body connection.
We teach clients to re-engage with their bodies on the most basic of levels by attuning to hunger and fullness cues. In treatment, clients learn to give themselves permission to eat the foods they desire in a manner that nourishes their bodies, minds, and souls. We seek to heal food deprivation, neutralize clients' perception of foods, and banish the use of moralizing terms to describe food such as "good," "bad," "junk" or "clean." Clients work one-on-one with Registered Dietitians to target individual nutritional needs that promote long-term self-care, self-acceptance, and self-worth.
Our Dietary Philosophy
La Ventana seeks to empower each person who comes through our doors to fully separate from their eating disorder and move into a space of recovery, including their relationship with food. We provide opportunities to explore this new relationship at each level of care, through nutrition education, experientials, and one-on-one nutrition therapy counseling.
La Ventana firmly believes that all foods can be included in one's overall food intake. Through dining out, take out, cooking classes, and snack experientials, we expose each client to what is seemingly fearful about the foods they are avoiding and/ or binging on, and we seek to habituate each client to these foods, rebuilding their trust in their own selves and bodies.
Residential Setting: At our intimate, home-like Residential Treatment Centers, the clients have the opportunity to practice recovery each morning while making breakfast with staff support. Each snack is hand-picked themselves with guidance from dietary staff. Our on-site kitchen staff cooks lunch and dinner, assuring each client has what they need to appropriately nourish themselves. In our dietitian-led restaurant meal outing, the clients are assisted in making recovery-oriented choices to support their new relationship with food. Fun and informative cooking classes are a focus at this level of care, to ensure each client is well-equipped to step into the next phase of their recovery journey.
Outpatient Setting: At this phase of their recovery, it is of vital importance to allow each client to fully experience where they are in their recovery. PHP level of care has lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner support, while IOP steps down into lunch or dinner and snack support. Snacks are provided, while meals are brought in by the clients to afford them the opportunity and challenge of practicing their own cooking and shopping skills. Menu planning group assists each client in planning for the week and encouraging flexibility – living life "on life's terms," even with the food. Restaurant outings and mindful snack experientials are integral to our clients' success at helping them deepen and broaden their recovery.
Our Registered Dietitians work with each client on an individual basis to create meal plans that allow clients to challenge their eating disorder and work towards fully normalized eating and a relationship with food and their bodies that is loving and respectful.

Coronation Walk, which has existed for at least 100 years, is a little known footpath off Todmorden Road.
Now enthusiasts are hoping to save the future of the neglected footpath and also discover something about its past.
It runs from Todmorden Road, near Summit to the railway bridge now leading to the Greenvale Mill.
Steps lead down to a bridge across the River Roch before the path winds past a new housing estate.
At least 150-years-old, the path appears on the Ordnance Survey maps produced in the 1840's, but its origins are shrouded in mystery.
The path is lined with cherry and laburnum trees with hedgerows of hawthorn trees.
Roots and plants have encroached on the path over the years and it is now just a fraction of its former width.
Some work has been done by Littleborough Civic Trust to lay the hedgerows and tidy the site, but the path has become the southern boundary to the new housing estate on the site of the old Grove Works.
A boundary fence has been put up, which encloses some of the mature cherry trees at the side of the path, and it is hoped these will not be cut down by the new house owners.
According to Iain Gerrard from Littleborough Civic Trust, they're not even sure which coronation it's named after.
He said: "It didn't get named Coronation Walk until Gordon Harvey planted all the trees, which create this pleasant country walk from what was presumably a utilitarian footpath
"We presumed the tree planting was done at the time of the coronation, but the problem is that the person who named it died in 1922 and the trees which line the walk don't look old enough.
"We've written to Fothergills to ask them because we understand the land on both sides was originally owned by Fothergill and Harvey.
"Many local people just haven't a clue that it's here so hopefully we can trace some of its roots and set about caring for it because it is a super walk."

For very light homeowner use only
Lightweight and starts very easily
Underpowered. Must operate at full throttle almost constantly. Should be priced lower than $239.00
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm would shop for lower priced model and get a service contract
Light runs great...if you can get to start!
Hard to start.....FULL throttle to keep running..stalls often on slightest bit of torque is applied
I should have bought an Echo. Worked great the first season. Then wouldn't want to keep running. Yes I did drain the fuel before storing. All of my Echo products started right up but the stihl wouldn't. Took it back for warranty and they wouldn't cover it.( said it must of had old fuel ) that was funny because my 10yr old echo trimmer ( same gas ) still runs great. They fixed it without calling me first, anyway ran for a few months now the same not wanting to keep running again.
edges good if you can keep it running
Hard to start. Have to run at full throttle. Did I say hard to start and keep running.
Would not buy another Stihl edger, maybe not another Stihl product. When the edger was 5 years old it died completely. The Stihl repair shop said it would cost 160.00 to replace the ingition module. I told them no thanks. My 5 year old Stihl blower and trimmer are tempermental about starting and running but they still run. I maintain them by the (Stihl) book. I wanted good quality tools so I laid out the cash for the brand name. Now I'm disillusioned and looking at cheap electric models.
Edged reasonably well in thin grass when it worked.
Poor perfomance over its short life. Only lasted 5 years.
The older it got, the harder it was to start and keep running.
Marginal performance in thick grass, cut only about 75 percent with new blade.
I give it a ten when it works
I give it a 0 when it stalls and won't run when needed
Overall score 5
Great when it run
Won't stay running very long
You make thgins so clear. Thanks for taking the time!

Travellers 'kept 100 enslaved' across Britain
The full scale of a suspected slavery ring targeting homeless and vulnerable men emerged yesterday as The Times learnt that more than 100 people are believed to have been held prisoner across the country.
Police suspect that a network of Irish travellers is behind an organised crime operation to kidnap or recruit homeless Britons and Eastern Europeans over the past two decades and force them into unpaid work, while holding them in squalid conditions on starvation rations.
After the rescue of 24 men from putrid and cramped caravans, sheds and horse boxes at the Greenacres travellers' encampment in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, it has emerged that raids carried out at four other travellers' sites across five counties are believed to be linked through a family with…

Love you advent calendar and ideas. Did you make the advent calendar or buy it. I just got to know! I would LOVE one too!
I love this idea! I may wait to do it until next year with me having anb, and a crazy 2 year old but I'm excited for it! Where did you find the book "elf on the shelf"?
Thanks ladies! I bought the house a few years back at Target at their after-Christmas clearance sale for only a few dollars. I was just at Joanns though and they had some really cute ones too, 60% off! The Elf on the Shelf I bought at Barnes and Noble…I hear you can find a 20% off coupon online as well…Good Luck!
Hey Maggie…I can't remember if it was you I shared this with, or another blogger. I made this Advent wreath a few years back and we stuff each tin with similar activities that you have listed. My girls (now 5 & 7) look forward to each days' ADVENTure (and small candy treat!)!
Thank you for shearing!
I also have this type of calendar for my kids.
They love it, but gets abit jealous of the kids in their class when they show their little presents every morning 😉

Castleford Tigers star Paul McShane believes that his team have already shown that they can be true top four contenders this season.
The Tigers have been tipped to do well in 2017 and sent out an early message to their rivals with a 44-16 win over newly promoted Leigh Centurions in the first game.
McShane played a big part in the convincing victory and he backed up the growing belief that Cas can compete for trophies this year.
He said: "We believe we can be a top four side.
"As long as we as a group believe that and we keep pushing ourselves at training to get to that position, then it is all on us.
"We have always known we can play, but we have proved we can defend (against Leigh).
"We knew we had to be on our game because they would come here firing.
"The first 20-25 minutes was really tough, but luckily we came out on top at the end of that.
"We have always been able to attack, it's the defensive side of things we've made massive improvements on.
"There were some little blips in there, but on the whole I thought our defensive performance was great."
McShane is enjoying his rugby at Castleford after arriving in 2015 and has been tipped by head coach Daryl Powell to go on to push for international honours.
He added: "I've been around a bit and I feel like I've found my home here.
"I have got a lot of confidence off my coaches and the players around me and that's pushing me to keep pushing myself and improving myself."
McShane's run in the team, going back to 2015, is in danger of being interrupted after he was given a Grade B dangerous throw charge by the Rugby League for his first minute tackle on Leigh's Gareth Hock.
The 27-year-old faces a possible two-match ban, but he has an early guilty plea available that would reduce it to one - meaning he would miss the trip to Warrington but be okay to face former team Leeds Rhinos the week after.

Things to do in Chichibu, Japan
Recently Ryosuke and I took a road trip to Chichibu, Japan.
Why? No reason in particular, aside from the fact that we try to go on a short trip (1-3 days) every month somewhere in Japan so we can make videos and blog posts showcasing the area.
Best job ever.
Chichibu city is located in the Saitama prefecture. It is a self-contained valley and popular native Japanese tourist destination, surrounded by gorgeous mountains.
We decided on Chichibu because the name was fun to say (priorities, right?) and we heard the food was amazing. To be honest, it doesn't matter where we go to in Japan, we always have a great time.
Every prefecture has its own local food, local sights, and warm hospitality. They are all different, in a refreshingly similar way. Chichibu was no exception.
I made two videos during my Chichibu trip, one about the delicious food (below) and one about the temples.
The food in Chichibu was fantastic. There was a nice mix of sweet deserts and savory dishes to choose from.
I especially recommend trying miso potato, dragon's beard, nozawana oyaki, and waraji katsu (all shown in the video above).
I also wanted to visit Chichibu because of the temple pilgrimage.
The Chichibu 34 Kannon is a sacred pilgrimage of 34 temples that started somewhere in the early 13th century. It runs a bit over 100km and I (foolishly) thought we could do the pilgrimage by car in one day. No, apparently it takes 2-3 days by car or one week by foot.
The majority of the temples are located in urban Chichibu, with a couple scattered out in the mountainside. And unlike the strings of temples I saw in Nikko and Kyoto, the temples in Chichibu are much smaller. They look like any temple you can find out in the countryside, instead of a grand tourist attraction (which I kind of prefer).
They're also free to enter.
We were able to visit four temples (shown in the video below), to collect temple stamps for my 御朱印 book.
In the four decades, the Chichibu 34 Kannon has seen a boom in tourism. It has been featured by a number of Japanese heritage preservation groups and was used as a setting for a famous Anime (if you watch the video above you can see the scenes from the Anime at temple #10).
And, of course, Chichibu owes its boost in tourism to their convenience public transportation. It's only 83 minutes from Ikebukuro to Chichibu station, via the express Seibu Ikebukuro line.
It's close enough to visit for the day but far enough away that it won't be anywhere as crowded as Nikko and Kawagoe.
The two videos I made were in partnership with the Japan National Tourism Organization – in part with the #MyJapanStory contest. (This: http://myjapanstory.jnto.go.jp/en/ ) You can share your very own beautiful Japan experiences on Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook with #MyJapanStory for a chance to win great prizes!
You can also see other videos entered in the contest (some if then are really awesome!!) here: http://myjapanstory.jnto.go.jp/__curation/en/

Mold spores are present everywhere, and it is virtually impossible to prevent their entry to your home or business. These microscopic spores float in the air that enters through open doors and windows or through air conditioning ductwork. When spores find dampness, for example from a leaky roof, burst pipe, or any area that retains high levels of humidity, mold grows quickly, and continues to lurk wherever dampness and moisture are present. If you detect mold's telltale mildewy smell, you probably already have an invasion.
Mold Remediation Service
Wright Restoration Services provides mold remediation services. We understand how problematic mold can be in your home or business, and have the expertise to handle any mold problem. Our family-owned business is located in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and has been serving residential and commercial clients in Southeastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware since 2002. We are available to take your emergency call 24/7, and our technicians arrive on site in one hour or less to begin work cleaning and treating your mold problem. Our commitment to you—our client—means you receive nothing less than quality work and superior customer service.
Mold is pervasive, and can have a negative impact on a business, as employees become ill from allergic reactions and are unable to work. Mold in your home creates a similar health concern for family members and pets, and can also permanently destroy personal belongings. Even structural damage can occur when mold decomposes building materials such as walls, beams, and insulation. Wright Restoration Services offer mold remediation services with discretion, and we always strive to minimize disruptions at home or at work.
Wright Restoration Services is licensed, bonded, and insured. We adhere to the standards of the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, and our qualified technicians are all IICRC certified. They possess a variety of additional certifications—including mold remediation. We remain current on all certifications and follow the latest cleaning and preservation industry research and advances in technology. Where mold is involved, we first identify the condition that caused the invasion and then take steps to thoroughly clean and sanitize the environment, ensuring our technicians take all necessary health and safety precautions.
Our mold remediation services include:
- Air sampling and mold testing
- Mold removal, sanitization, and decontamination
- Mold odor control and removal
- Dehumidification
Mold Remediation Process
Our mold remediation process includes:
- Inspection to test for the presence of mold, to include checks of areas where moisture and humidity are existing problems, in ventilation ducts, behind walls, in and under carpeting and other hidden areas of the structure.
- Assessment of the extent of the mold invasion to the structure and the contents to determine the best remedy to the problem.
- Remediation to effectively stop the growth of mold by eliminating dampness with the use of drying techniques and specialized dehumidification equipment.
- Thoroughly cleaning and treating the affected area according to industry standards and with EPA-approved products.
- Restoration of items affected by the mold invasion or proper disposal of items that cannot be salvaged.
- Reparation or renovation of building structure items that were damaged by mold.
Wright Restoration Services technicians take all necessary health and safety precautions at all times—both for themselves and our customers. They wear protective gear and seal off the area to be remediated to minimize the potential for mold spores to spread.
Mold Remediation and Removal Services
We are always available to communicate and collaborate with insurance companies, which helps make the claims process as seamless as possible for our customers. In order to provide the necessary proof of loss to substantiate a claim for a mold invasion, we document our entire mold cleanup and remediation process, including taking photos, and submit our quote for services directly to the insurance company.
Call Wright Restoration Services right away if:
- You've experienced water damage of any type.
- Building occupants complain that poor indoor air quality is causing allergies or other illness.
- Areas in your home or business location present a musty smell.
- Moisture is apparent on building materials, indicating the existence of a water problem.
Don't risk the health of your employees or family, or let mold infect your business or personal belongings to the point they are irreparable. If you suspect you have a mold invasion or want to test for the presence of mold, contact the experts at Wright Restoration Services at (610) 435-7669 immediately.

Democracy in action. A high turnout and large win for Leave in our constituency.
We have voted for Brexit just in time. The EU was becoming increasingly antidemocratic, dictatorial, unaccountable and power grabbing. It was well on the way to becoming neo-fascist.
Brexit is the catalyst which will free people all over Europe.
Greek friends tell me that posters are being pasted up. "Kai tora Grexit" – And next Grexit.
I am still not convinced that Brexit will actually happen. Cameron has made it clear that he will not take the UK's resignation letter (Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty) to Europe. The EU Presidents are demanding that we resign now and according to the Financial Times some in Europe are now looking to see if Britain can be forced out of the EU. In contrast Brexit leaders appearing in the media today appear unwilling to jump to the bidding of the EU and appear decidedly lukewarm about the idea of any rush to leave with some now even suggesting that leave could be many years away. Once we have crossed over a General Election the mandate for the referendum will be superseded by an election mandate.
I'm not surprised that you don't think it will happen Ms Wade. Your political predictions are always incorrect, so why break the cycle.
You are right Howard. Lots of things I had not foreseen –
Sterling at a 31 year low and with even Greek hoteliers refusing to accept pound sterling.
£124 billion wiped of the value of UK companies.
UK stripped of its credit rating.
Rise in hate crimes reported by police across the country.
Brexit leaders disowning pledges made within hours of the referendum result.
EU leaders looking at whether they will need to force us out of the EU and making it clear already that we are getting no special deal.
Very real concerns that the United Kingdom will break up now brought to the fore.
Inter-generational strife running throughout the land.
Business leaders from all sectors expressing concern about the uncertainty with doubts now about saving UK steel production.
It is all looking much worse than I predicted.
Yep, that's about the size of it, Joan, and there's far worse to come. Once Scotland secedes, which is a certainty now, the last holdout of progressive politics in the UK will be gone, and the rump will be consigned to neo-liberal Tories for a generation at least.
Steve's been reading "The Guardain" again
Fred. I live in a council house in Bramcote village and now I'm classed as petit-bourgeois. I don't know whether to be flattered or give a flying fig about a silly comment.
I'll drink me beer and think about it
White van man taken in by the lies and propaganda promulgated by two failed journalists supported by the Sun and the Daily Mail. This disaster will not be allowed to unfold. Parliament could stop it tomorrow with an Act.
The Sun and The Daily Mail did'nt cause these problems. They were caused by Ted Heath and all the back stabbing lying hypocrites who have left us in this mess..Ted Heath..Harold Wilson..Tony Blair..Peter Hain to name just a few..They all knew what the ultimate aim was(a fedreral europe, and still is) and now apparently it's to quote Anna Soubry ;;The white working class". Well Anna would do well to remember that it's the white working class which secured her majority last year and it's the white working class who they've shoved to the bottom of the pile for the last few years, and now they've hit back You've lost my vote Anna
Well I wait with baited breath to see what the Tories are going to do about Bojo. As for Hunt claiming the next PM can negotiate and then have another referendum. Once Article 50 is triggered – 2 years and we are out, the result is either what is negotiated or WTO rules apply. Out is out, there is no second chance games. The bright area in all this is that the Europeans will get rid of the divisive Farage, and after his performance this morning they will be duly grateful.
Knowing the way the EU operates and has operated since 1993 you can't take anyting for granted until it's done..They'll change the rules to suit their own agenda..It's the way the EU works..And this ain't over by a long chalk
'So what you are saying Allan, is that the votes of myself and my wife last Thursday can be ignored in favour of your good self and wife/partner.'
Not at all Ian. I dutifully respect both of your votes whilst knowing precisely what to think of them!
'After all, you appear to be quite well educated.'
I think that's what's called being damned by faint praise.
After all this time it would appear that Fred R, Ms Joan Wade, Dave W and Dr Allan Dodds are wrong in what they said just after the Referendum results set us free from that sclerotic club known as the European Union. I have to ponder as to how many of the above are under the age of 60 years and therefore haven't known the freedom that we had before we were conned into joining this disgusting club. I hope that the people of the Broxtowe constituency have the sense to remove Ms Soubry as their MP at the next General Election.
Regarding your last sentence, Douglas, I wholeheartedly agree. I've voted Conservative all my life but cannot do so at the next election if Anna Soubry is re-selected as the Conservative Party Candidate for Broxtowe. Neither Labour (Corbynomics, anyone?) nor LibDem (re-running the referendum?) would be in the running so for the first time in 60+ years, I may have to not vote at all unless a convincing independent candidate stands.
Hello Susan A
Like yourself, I have always voted for the Conservative party. I am now nearly 77 years of age and, also, like you feel disenfranchised with what we have. I voted to Leave but have doubts regarding Mrs May. Unfortunately in the Borough where I live all three MP's are Labour and are anti-Brexit, so no hope there. My best wishes to a fellow democrat.
" My best wishes to a fellow democrat." – so, all who were against Brexit are anti-democratic, eh? Plainly age brings experience but not always wisdom.
"age brings experience but not always wisdom." as you have so often demonstrated Fred.
Fred R must really not see things that are not there. Where did I say that all those who were against Brexit are anti-democratic. I have looked everywhere but just cannot see as to where I have said those words in my submission.
When I said 'best wishes to a fellow democrat' I was merely giving Susan A my salutation.
Age does indeed bring experience and in this instance the wisdom to vote for Leave because the EU is the thing that is the most anti-democratic. I have to assume that Fred R has not yet reached his age of wisdom.
I hope that you don't mind if I correct you again Fred R, but the expression eh? is not a word nor grammatically sound.
Best wishes
time to get yourselves a new MP. Anna is deeply disappointed to be leaving the eu. Broxtowe gave her the worst day of her life. and if it came to a parliamentary vote would she back her constituents. I wrote to my MP asking that very question and got a superb positive reply back
Completely agree with the comments of Keith Adams. Someone should take this woman to one side and inform her that she is the servant of the people not the other way around. It is all about her constituents views.
Not in a representative democracy it's not. If she were a delegate then yes, she'd have to directly present her constituents' views, much as, say, trade union delegates do to union conferences. In a representative democracy, she has the freedom, once elected, to represent her constituency as she sees fit, and to interpret its views as she wants. I'm not defending or attacking this, it's just how the UK parliamentary democracy works.
Why oh why have you elected a woman MP, ( who is an EU remainer ), when the majority of this particular constituency voted OUT at the referendum. This woman is not helping at all, the cause to leave and is a thorn in the side of everything "Leave", it just doesn't make any sense at all !! The constituents want to tell her what they voted for at the referendum.
In response to the posting by Ian Blakeley on the 14th November 2017, I believe that Trevor Davey was not saying that Anna shouldn't be an MP because she is a woman but that if the MP had been a male he would have used words to that particular gender. I know if I had made that posting I would probably have used words that are very similar to those used by Trevor Davy, and I love the ladies. Please take time to think on it Ian.
I don't doubt that I will get the usual leftist and Pro -EU comments from Dave W, Dr. Allan Dodds and Fred R.
Just as a matter of interest, Fred, the 18th century Edmund Burke may have established the principle that MP's may follow their consciences rather than merely being the servants of their constituents, and therefore are representatives, not delegates, BUT, this idea does not quite apply in the case of Brexit. The EU Referendum was not a parliamentary election. It was ultra-parliamentary, in that it went far beyond and above the Commons.
My best wishes to you all.
Your 'not doubt' is misplaced. Picking brick particles out of my forehead gets stale and old after a bit. Mind you, I'm surprised that this thread has been exhumed of late. Perhaps the sysadmin should put a stake through its heart.

Life on the Eastern Plains
©2011 Deidre Adams. All rights reserved.
This summer I'll be starting on a new public art project to be installed at Anythink Bennett, a library serving residents of Bennett, Strasburg, and Watkins, a group of small towns on the eastern plains of Colorado. The project, whose theme is "Life on the Eastern Plains," is the first in a planned series of collaborative, community-inspired artworks for the library district, under the umbrella theme of "This is Who We Are." This press release has full details.
"Anythink" is the name given to a "new style of library that celebrates imagination, play and interactivity." The concept is the driving force for the Rangeview Library District, a network of seven libraries serving the residents of Adams County, Colorado. It is a "new style of library that offers memorable experiences and transformations for its customers," and in addition to books, also offers "innovative programming, technology, and the highest level of customer service so that everyone who walks into an Anythink feels welcome." This video illustrates the spirit of the Anythink concept and the accompanying logo.
As part of the development of the artwork, I'm talking with residents of the area about their experiences living on the eastern plains. Members of the library district staff are assisting with the interviews as well as recording them for an oral history component of the project. We've had one community meeting to introduce the project to the public, and two days of conducting interviews. A final day of interviews will be held this Monday.
In addition to talking to people, I'm also asking them to contribute fabric for the artwork, which will be a stitched textile piece. I'm asking them to give me pieces of fabric that have some kind of a history: perhaps a scrap of an old work shirt, or a worn dishtowel or apron – something that was a part of the daily experience on living on the plains. I want the finished piece to incorporate literal physical artifacts that have come from the community.
I'm also asking for handwritten letters and photographs that speak to the experience of life in the area. These I will scan and return to the owners. My vision is to incorporate some of the handwriting into the piece either by direct printing on fabric or perhaps with a silkscreen.
Anythink publishes a newsletter called Spark. The June 24 issue of Spark has two articles about the art project. The editor, Ken Devine, interviewed me after I was chosen for the project and wrote a great article about my work and how I was selected. Evidently, having a love of grain elevators was a pivotal factor working to my benefit. But whatever the reason, I'm very honored to be a part of this project and really excited to start working on it.

For me, Autumn and Winter is all about the bold lip. In Summer i'm all about pastel, light shades. That changes completely in the colder months. If you see me in Winter, you will find me most likely wearing red or berry shades. I thought i'd give you guys a rundown of my favourite lipsticks to wear in Winter. In no particular order, because I can't decide and it wouldn't be fair to the other lipsticks..
1. YSL Rouge Pur Couture | Pink Fuschia | link |
Aside from the gorgeous packaging, I love the colour and formula of this lipstick. The perfect pink/berry colour. It glides onto the lips, leaving them hydrated and looking so kissable, as Aaron says, if that isn't a sign of a good lipstick then what is?! I have a full review here.
2. Revlon Lip Butter | Raspberry Pie | link |
The Lip Butters are a favourite lip product for me! The pigmentation is incredible, the formula is incredible and the last power is just.. something else. Raspberry Pie is exactly what it says on the..tube..a lovely raspberry shade.
3. Revlon Lip Butter | Lollipop | link |
I told you that the Lip Butters were one of my favourite lip products ;) Lollipop is a bright fuschia pink with a purple shimmer and blue undertones. What I love about the Lip Butters is that they apply like a balm, but last look like a lipstick. The lasting power of these isn't great, lasting only about 3-4 hours before reapplying, but I think I can let that go, as the colour pay off and formula is so good.
4. Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick | Glam Plum Fulham | link |
I think this is my favourite lipstick at the moment! A gorgeous deep berry/purple lipstick, very vampy-esque. I love to wear this with minimum makeup and lashings of mascara. I'll definitely be wearing this throughout the Christmas period. Christmas parties especially.
5. MAC Lipstick | Please Me | link |
I know I saw winter was all about the bold lip, but this has definitely been one of my most worn lipsticks the past few weeks. 'Please Me' has to be one of my favourite MAC lipsticks. A lovely rose-tinted pink shade, with a matte formula. As it is matte, it tends to show imperfections on the lips, so make sure you do some lip prepping. exfoliate and apply lip balm before applying this and it is a dream! As it is a pale lipstick, the lasting power isn't the best but the colour is just so damn good, i'll let it slide ;)
I hope you guys enjoyed seeing my 'Top 5 Lipsticks | Winter Edition'. I'd love to know your favourite Winter lipsticks!

Telluride Bluegrass Festival
Bluegrass may have evolved from country's "Appalachian mountain music," but Telluride's Bluegrass Festival has added a distinctive Rocky Mountain note to the mix.
Since its inception in 1973, the festival has featured traditional bluegrass bands from across the nation, but when contemporary Colorado bands started adding the quintessential bluegrass instruments—mandolin, fiddle, guitar, upright bass, and banjo—to their lineups, their version of the "high lonesome sound" garnered national attention. It forced bluegrass to undergo several transformations, sometimes right before the Telluride audience's eyes, as the crowd's enthusiasm prompted more and more on-stage experimentation.
As the festival gained in popularity, it brought more bluegrass artists to Colorado, and crossover between bluegrass and other musical styles became more common. The festival earned the moniker "Woodstock of the West." Colorado bands such as String Cheese Incident, Leftover Salmon, and Yonder Mountain String Band performed regularly at the event, appealing to a younger audience and encouraging more experimentation.
Now the Telluride Bluegrass Festival draws such popular acts as Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Bonnie Raitt, and Counting Crows—not exactly bluegrass purists. It has also boosted the popularity of other bluegrass gatherings around the state, including a sister festival held each July at Planet Bluegrass Ranch in Lyons, Colorado, a town of about 1,600 that has become a bluegrass artists' colony.
There are no results

Wichita Fall, TX – 22 March 2017 – A Wichita Falls Repo Man attempting to repossess a pick-up, received injuries after the borrower allegedly tried to tear his truck free from the wheel lift.
Police said they were called to the 5200 block of Professional Drive after receiving reports of a disturbance. When they arrived they found two males in an argument. After breaking the two men up officers identified one of them as 31-year-old Christopher Smith and the other as a tow truck driver there to repossess Smith's truck.
After talking to the men and witnesses, officers discovered that as the tow truck driver was attempting to hook up to the pickup to tow it away, Smith came running out and jumped In the truck. He then reportedly began driving forward and backward trying to get off the tow truck, hitting the tow truck multiple times. The pickup ended up on the sidewalk and the grass in front of the apartment building.
The tow truck driver said he was injured at one point when Smith was trying to drive away, the severity of his injuries are unknown.
Officers arrested Smith and transported him to Wichita County Jail and charged him with aggravated assault.

Organizational Questions
How can I join the USS CORSAIR?
Becoming a member of the USS CORSAIR or another chapter in STARFLEET is simple– If you would like to join, simply follow the instructions listed right here.
Do you have STARFLEET Marines?
Yes, the 327th Marine Strike Group is currently assigned to the USS CORSAIR. Members of the STARFLEET Marine Corps include veterans and active duty military as well as people who just prefer a 'military flavor' to their Star Trek fan activities.
What is STARFLEET, the International Star Trek Fan Association?
Since 1974, STARFLEET has provided Star Trek fans a way to meet each other, make friends, have fun, give back to their communities, and show that the dream of Gene Roddenberry can live long and prosper. Join us! The human adventure is just beginning…
Do members of the USS CORSAIR charge for appearances?
Absolutely not. While we appreciate the offer to pay us for our appearances, we don't do this for money. We would much rather see that money go to people and charities who need it much more than we do.
Can a member of another organization be a member of your group too?
Absolutely! We don't care if you're a member of any other fan group or fan organization– you're more than welcome to be a member of ours as well, so long as there are no conflicts of interest. If you think that your membership in another group DOES constitute a conflict of interest, then please contact us and ask. We'll let you know.
What does your organization do?
Well, we have a strong emphasis on having social events– but that's not all that we do. We work on costumes, we get together and go to movies, restaurants, we do charity work, we do fundraisers, we do board games, we do laser tag– the sky's the limit! Sometimes it's just awesome to have something to belong to with a group of people who care about something the same way that you do. That's what it's all about, isn't it?
What is the USS CORSAIR?
The USS Corsair is the Baton Rouge chapter of STARFLEET, the International Star Trek Fan Association. We are comprised of fans who enjoy getting together to promote our interest in science fiction, and attending events (sometimes in costumes!). We want to show our appreciation for a series that has touched each one of us at some point in our lives, and if we can do that by making appearances at fan-based events, or by collecting for charity, or just share time with each other. We have members who enjoy costuming, gaming, writing, roleplay, or just chatting about Star Trek/ Star Wars/Firefly/Marvel/Battlestar Galactica/etc.
How do I contact the USS CORSAIR to attend my event?
You may do so by using our super-nifty and state-of-the-art Appearance Request Form.
Costume/Uniform Questions
Where do you get those costumes?
Some of our members are amazingly talented, and can sew them! If that's too costly, STARFLEET has established an relationship with the people at CosplaySky, which provides a discount to STARFLEET members. The problem with finding Star Trek uniforms is that you'll either find costumes that are painfully low in quality, or you'll find high-quality costumes that run as much as $500-$600, easy. CosplaySky's uniforms are of amazing quality and, perhaps more importantly, they have movie-level detail that is difficult to find anywhere else.
Are we mandated to dress as Starfleet officers?
Not at all. Starfleet, Vulcan, Bajoran, Klingon, Ferengi , Trill, Cardassian, Andorian – you name it. We like creativity! Heck, aliens are always more interesting than plain old vanilla humans! In fact, some members would welcome the challenge of helping you achieve your inner alien goals!
Are there Costuming Standards/Requirements?
Yes and no. Not to limit who can be a member, but more to make sure that anyone who chooses to show up in a Star Trek costume or uniform maintains a kind of quality that we want to be represented by. We encourage members to try and wear matching uniforms from the same timeline. This is just to help create a more cohesive unit, looks better in pictures and helps accent our centerpiece prop, a TNG era Type 15 Shuttlepod, which we bring out for special events.
What if I don't want to purchase a uniform?
You're not required to. You can still join and partake in the full CORSAIR experience without owning a costume, and nobody will think less of you for it. Costuming is expensive, and not everyone can budget for such a thing.
What if I don't want to be a member, but would like to show up at events with you in uniform too?
We can't stop anyone from purchasing and wearing their own uniform or prosthetic makeup. In fact, if you're going to buy a uniform, we strongly suggest you give Cosplaysky the sales. Just keep in mind that you won't be included in everything that the USS CORSAIR does.
Is it hot in those costumes?
You have NO idea. That's why we encourage our members to stay hydrated regularly. Try to imagine walking the deserts of Vulcan in the middle of summer, while covered in lard and wrapped in bacon.

If you're going to use a real handgun, you might as well do some practicing. That's because you won't be able to fully take advantage of your weapon when you can't use it well. It is important that you do regular practice sessions just to make sure that you not only hone your skills but also remember what you learned and program your body to be equipped with the weapon that you have. On the other hand, there's the cost of shooting that you have to take into consideration and the time that you have to allot when it comes to visiting a gun range and the actual practice sessions. Despite that you may have limited financial resources and time, there are things that you can do to make yourself proficient at holding and shooting a real handgun. For some tips that may be helpful for your pursuit, please keep reading.
To shoot well, you could try to invest in another type of gun. Instead of just having a pistol that can propel ammunition that's lethal, it would be best for you to have alternatives that can give you the opportunity to simulate actual shooting. Specifically, you ought to get a BB pistol. You shouldn't just go for any kind, though. It is imperative that you settle for something that weighs and can be shot much like the type of weapon that you own. Most likely, you ought to have the type of BB gun that's gas-powered since it's the kind that can accurately hit targets hard. Plus, with a gas pistol, you'd also have something for deterring animals and also protecting yourself. If you wish to check out some that are sold right now, try reading Airsoft Pistol Reviews. It would better for you to know what people say about the various gas pistols that are manufactured and distributed nowadays so that you would know which of the ones are worth considering. Of course, aside from having the said type of weapon, you ought to have some targets ready and look for a place where you could practice shooting. To avoid hitting someone accidentally, you may want to look for an open space that isn't windy where you could hang practice targets plus aim and shoot your gun.
Aside from going to a gun range from time to time to maintain your weapon and literally shoot with your gun, you should consider cleaning your pistol at home and try familiarizing its feel with the use of your hands. Without any loaded magazine, you could try to aim it in the open air to get the feel of what it's like to hold your weapon. It would be practical for you to imagine how you're going to pull your gun out of a holster or wherever you conceal it so that you could favorably respond later on during an emergency situation that may require you to defend your life.

Queried my MG fantasy on Facebook back in July and got a request for the full. After four months, I got a form rejection today. I'm still impressed by them, and will be submitting something else soon.
I queried 11/18 and got a full request on 11/19. They said 6-8 weeks for response to the materials request. I hope they stick closer to that timeframe than 4 months! I've got 2 others who have had the full since April/May timeframe. The waiting wears on me.
Yeah, I've done one round of nudging (not talking about Month9 or Swoon), even got a "sorry it's taking so long, almost done" email. I'm approaching nudge #2 time frame now. Thankfully I have many, many projects in the works, unlike when i first started writing and had all my hopes and dreams focused with laser-like intensity on that one project. Best advice while waiting is to keep on writing, always just keep on writing the next and the next and the next book.
To the best of my knowledge, Month9Books is closed to MG until the end of January, and stopped accepting YA Nov. 1. Guess I'm holding off on the next submission for a while...
I got an offer 11/25 from Swoon! Speed demons in my case!
I did nudge my oldest 2 full readers. One replied the next day with a rejection stating it had been stuck in her outbox since 9/26. Good reason to nudge. Wish I'd done it sooner. Now it's last call nudge for the rest.

Thank you! That's a big reason of why I subbed to them, plus Georgia's "what I'm looking for" on their site matched, I felt, my story really well, both in voice, plot and genre.
There is marketing language in the contract, which is wonderful and much appreciated, but especially so if their reputation indicates they stand behind it.
Received a full request via Facebook and sent it Feb 4th 2014. . . now we wait.
They do seem pretty amazing and Georgia is so personable. I've had a chat or two with her via twitter. I'm intrigued by their specialty in Spec fiction-- 'cause I've got more.
Good luck everyone waiting on their full requests.
I never got a email confirmation like it says on their website...
Now what? Do I ask someone? This is terrible. Did everyone get a confirmation of receipt on your fulls?
I didn't either, Karen. I sent my ms on Feb 12. I only noticed it at your prompting. I suspect they just dropped the ball a bit.
ETA: I don't actually see a place where they say they'll send you a receipt notice.

Got a form rejection today on a full submission. Almost a 4 week turn around.
Publishers who take unagented submissions have slush piles large enough to generate their own weather.
Submitted query to M9B May 30,2014 via FB with less than 24 hours to go for unagented authors to submit. June 5 I got a request for a full. July 5 I received an offer. Whew! :-) Now contract negotiations begin. I wish I knew more about this phase of the business and how to be pursuasive to get what I want. :-) I feel like a lost lamb who needs to find a wolf companion.
I had sent a query to them on July 22nd, and they've just emailed me back asking for the full manuscript!!! I'm not going to keep my hopes up though, but this is the first request for a full that I've gotten so I'm pretty happy about that!
Now I'm just going to go over it real quick again before sending it out!

I sent a query via private message on Facebook on October 1. Haven't heard anything. If people have gotten rejections off initial queries, do they just not respond or do they actually send a "thanks but not for us" follow-up?
I've also not seen anything on the Facebook page about actually being open to unagented subs so maybe they decided to remain closed and are just ignoring my query?
YA Urban Fantasy - revising
Women's Fiction - querying
I didn't see anything about them being open to submissionsor closed for that matterbut I popped off a query anyway on the 7th. Didn't hear anything back either.

First things first: I know I sound ridiculous.
I have a problem, I'm addicted to the falling in love part.
Then about a week or two later, the feeling fades, and I'm not interested.
Don't get me wrong, I still think he's a great guy, I just don't want a relationship.
John Doe however, doesn't get the hints...
So what is the best thing I can say to him without being a total asshole, to let him know I'm not interested...
I don't meet guys with the intent of doing this to them, it's not some sick game to me.
I don't diss them for someone else, I just straight up lose interest. (I'm only just noticing the pattern)
Will I ever find someone who can keep my interest?
Maybe it's me, how can I change my actions to avoid hurting those kind guys in the future?

It's best to be honest about how you feel. It's possible to be honest and tactful at the same time. Instead of hinting , be straight with him.
He's holding onto false hope at the moment. Being honest with him may hurt him, but lying to him by allowing him to cling to false hope will destroy his trust.. and that could affect him a long time
It's cruel to string people along , even if it's unintentional... so really, you are going to hurt him more by not being honest.
Truth and rejection are painful at times , but its twice as painful when you realise you've been holding onto to someone who didn't even care about you at all.
At least if you're honest , he'll be able to move on and have the opportunity of finding a girl who genuinely wants to be with him
You've obviously not found the right person, and you aren't ready for a relationship just yet. . 😊💗11|00|0
Thanks for the MHO 💗🌹

A Little SP Nutrition Tracking ...
Monday, May 13, 2013
I am have been on SP now for at least 3 years and I still have difficulty tracking all three meals and all the snacks! I have tried groupings and that has helped ,but I decided since I cannot get ALL my meals tracked as I would like to {time and /or laziness or having to LIST each ingredient separately!] , I do what works for me~~ list breakfast and put the fitness in as soon as I do it . That has helped [and the fact I get it all done while my son is still asleep in the mornings!] {Did I mention I am a stay -at -home mom that homeschools?}
If you have ideas that have helped you,please let me know!
Have a GREAT day!

I just joined Spark this week, and I'm also on Weight Watchers. I track both. I love the scanner Spark uses and use that to track as much as is possible. I love the breakdown of the nutrients and I think that's why Spark is so detailed. Once the food is input, I make it a favorite and then it's easy to find and input it. Maybe when you have time, you could input, scan, and save to favorites for future use. Sometimes its the specific time that's inconvenient. Hope this helps!

Wow.... three years and it still doesn't get any easier??? That is one question I keep asking... why does this have to be so hard??? Tracking is time consuming and difficult. Like you I just don't have time to look up every individual ingredient and don't want to take the time to do a recipe calculator, so frequently I just "plug in" a calorie count that another member has submitted for what I think might be close to what what is my recipe but I'm sure more often than not I have underestimated the amount of calories I've consumed. IDK I wish I had the answer and I wish there were an easier way. I do use the "favorites" list for things I eat often especially for breakfast and lunch my meals don't change that often so at least there's that list. I will watch your blog to see if anyone else comes up with any other solutions.

"Weaving a web to our higher consciousness by creating a community to share news and inspirational perspectives to educate and broaden our minds, leading to a new awareness and a more perfect planet!"
Since this is the precept to which this blog is dedicated, I felt it was time to offer some uplifting, positive news and inspirational perspectives in light of the intensity of news of the past few months.
These are some of the headlines from one of my favorite uplifting news sources, Yes! Magazine…
6 Ways Citizens Across the U.S. Are Using Science to Build a Better World
By collecting climate change data, monitoring air quality, and reverse-engineering insulin, locals are creating a more just and equitable society.
In a Rust Belt Town Where Tuition Is Covered, Economy Begins to Revive
After Kalamazoo, Michigan, offered college tuition for nearly all high school graduates, dropout rates declined and the city's population began to rebound.
The Woman Giving Refugee Kids Free Lawyers
And two other people advocating for immigrants and refugees.
I do believe that progress forward will happen in small steps from within communities rather than from our so-called "leaders" who have become lost in the wilderness. By sharing stories such as these, we can inspire one another to not lose hope in the goodness of people. After all, we are all in this together, and together we can find the way!

A Disco Outing with Colleagues
Once you get the beat inside your feet, there ain't no way to stop you moving!
"People dance because dance changes things. One move can bring people together. One move
can set a whole generation free." That's what the Step Up movie series was all about. The
phenomenal success of this movie series can be attributed to the passion for dance and the high
adrenaline moves.
In this movie, there were no car chases, no skyscrapers grounded, and no laser beams. All it had
were boisterous young dancers who had bones of rubber. While Tyler in the Step Up series
danced his way to redemption, we dance for various other reasons.
Well, if we kind of see it in a different light, i.e. from an alien's point of view, we see that people
jump and jig till they physically exhaust themselves. Then again, the little green men wonder
through their blood red eyes as to why people actually do this crazy thing called dance. They
shake their bodies vigorously to a song!
For this question a young and effervescent youth just put it in a matter of fact tone that "we love
it." We dance because it is an expression of our personality, we dance to keep ourselves fit, and
we dance for emotional stability! Perhaps it is that realm of expression which is beyond the
scope of words and meaning.
While most dance moves are more for professionals, we people who don't have bones of rubber
are satisfied enough to bust a groove. After a week of hectic work, we prefer to have a Friday
evening full of music and dance whether boozed up or not.
There is something about the ambience of a discotheque that drives a strange kind of tribe to that
place. The laser lights, the heart thumping music and the welcome overfill are all essential
components to let loose the spirit of freedom. And, as the favorite mix of the DJ booms the
environs, the dancers though moving are in a state of suspended animation.
As for me, I am a great fan of the dark psychedelic and electronic music, but I don't mind
grooving to mixes of some popular Indian DJs like Karsh Kale, Pearl, NYK, and Amit. I am in
my element when I jib to the compositions of Asura, Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, and
Psychovsky. For me, the deep blues of Shiva Trance and ambient trance are things that are worth
fluttering like a feather on the dance floor. Well, that's my personal style, but for all those bros
who love music and dance, there's one great place that you need to go!
The nightlife of Hyderabad is peppered with quite a few discotheques, but wouldn't it be great if
you explored some other kind of ambience! We are kind of used to the jostling mayhem of dance
clubs and their great energy levels. So, why not try a different way to spend your weekend?
The Summer Green Resort in Shamirpet, Hyderabad is a perfect place for you and your
colleagues to come have fun and dance away to glory! The Discotheque Tonic Club would
probably put an end to your never ending quest to find that perfect place.
We understand that some of your colleagues don't dance; let them sit by the pool! But, for you,
there is TNT to drool! We have a sound system that can enunciate a pin dropping and can shatter
glasses at the same time! The laser lights take you to a different universe and create a spatial
The Discotheque Tonic Club can accommodate up to 80 people and is an ideal location for you
and your colleagues to party and prance!

Grammy Award-winning singer Alicia Keys stuns in her debut ad for Givenchy's Dahlia Divin fragrance. The Dahlia Delvin fragrance is an elegant scent with hints of jasmine and patchouli. "This scent is grounded, but still has a femininity that is very earthy, and I love that," Keys told WWD. The Givenchy campaign marks Keys' first-ever beauty contract.
Mary Burrell
She is beautiful always has been.
For those who are mad over Zendaya calling herself black, are you also mad at Alicia Keys calling herself black? Do you hate Obama as well? Obama also considers himself black.
Ms. Vee
All these people are BIRACIAL….no hate. No anger. Just facts.
Okay but watch when many back peddle when something negatively race related happens or even something positive like an award or recognition.
Very often the same black people who nag about Bi Racials calling themselves black, are the FIRST ones to say:
"your black @ss know your place now" when a white person does them green. Or grab them as a black token when they receive an award.
This happens all the time. Picking and choosing whenever Bi Racials are black whenever it is convenient.
Ms. Vee
I agree to a large extent. And it gets on my nerves when black people treat biracial people like ping pongs and/or biracial people claim black when convenient. We still have a lot of prideless blacks in denial that seek white approval. And it is a problem. Those of us that don't qualify as confused are speaking out against our misrepresentation.
I was actually gonna say the same thing lol I think I talked to you on older Zendaya thread using Halle Berry as an example: She wins best actress in a lead role "Woo! First Black woman to win an Oscar in that category, yay Black women!" then does something negative " She isn't even Black!" Yep, it's all because we were so desperate for representation that we latched onto her accomplishments.
Halle Berry would not be famous if it were not for the black community. She has never tried to be anything but black. Her mother told she and her sister when they were growing "up your black". Her mother went as far as to move to a black neighborhood and sought out a mentor for her "black children" that woman, a darkskinned black woman, is still a large part of her life and she considers her a second mother.
this woman taught her how to be a black woman (halle's words).
Just because black people are stupid enough to get mad at what someone black may say or do, does not mean that that person stops being black.
I have said this time and time again. I briefly knew Halle in Chicago and she did not advertise her white mother and her hair was as big and kinky as the rest of us. Being biracial (mixed with black) and being black are not mutually exclusive.
Being bi-racial and black are not mutually exclusive. Why don't you let someone who is actually bi-racial and writes on this issue educate you.
Ms. Vee
Well in that case being biracial and white or Asian should not be mutually exclusive either. But no one argues that with the other races….i wonder why.
Zendaya called herself "just Black enough"-. As in, just a touch of Black was enough for her to be cast as a woman who was several shades darker (and much prettier).
Plus, Alicia has never said any ignorant comments like this on record. You and that other commenter are working overtime to put her and Zendaya into one big biracial bucket.
There is no "outrage" over Alicia being chosen as the face of Lanvin, sorry to disappoint you. Cuz guess what–Lupita is the new face of Miu Miu, Kelly Rowland the new face of Caress skin care and Kerry Washington is a spokesmodel for Neutrogena. Brown and darkskinned Black women have not TOTALLY been eclipsed by images of lighter and biracial women representing all of us, thank goodness. But best believe when many of us see our imagery literally being erased, there is going to be discussion about that.
Actually she was answering those people who were trying to say she was not black, by saying that it only takes one black parent to make her black enough. I loved her response. She is black enough.
Now if we were talking Hailee Steinfield then that would be another issue. (She has a black grandparent I believe.)
I hate the word hater but I think she responded to her "haters" perfectly.
If you were intelligent enough to understand the bigger picture, you could grasp that it's not just about her ethnicity. I have seen biracial people darker than her AND 100% Black Aaliyah (ex: Giancarlo Esposito).
The larger perspective is lighter skinned women being used to replace the imagery of darker women. There is no controversy about HISPANIC Ya Ya DaCosta cast as Whitney Houston, because their skin tones are similiar, and they both clearly look like 100% Black women. There are several biopics about Black male artists where the lead actors are the exact same skin tone, or even darker: Andre 3000 as Jimi Hendrix, Don Cheadle as Miles, some other down as James Brown, list goes on. This attention to detail is not provided for the stories of Black women, even fictional ones. Another actress that I thought would have been PERFECT for this part is Kylie Bunbury, who may be biracial herself. But she looks a lot like Aaliyah, skintone and all. And as light brown as Aaliyah was, they still had to go even lighter for an actress.
With Zendaya, this is the second biopic where a much lighter actress is cast to portray a darker woman, and a lot of Black women are noting it. To refer to this approach as "haters" is just as ignorant and juvenile as the comment from this smug newbie. At least her attitude fits right in with the disrespectful spirit of the entire production, and hopefully Aaliyah's family will get that flick shut down.
Even the most minor fictional Black female characters: I hate to bring up The Hunger Games thing, but the character Rue is described in the book as a Black girl with dark brown skin yet Amandla Stenberg, who identifies herself as Biracial and has light skin, was cast for the role. It's not coincidence or accident after the millionth time.
Thank you. And there were still White folks who were still livid about any non-White character involved in their fantasy story, so there goes the marketing to the white dollar by using lighter actresses theory.
Also in Precious, the teacher was described as dark brown with locs (one of the few positive characters in that novel). Which somehow turned into Paula Patton. All these people who like to pretend that these decisions just happen are either stupid, or mad that so many Black women are waking up to this ish.
Dark brown with locs? Wow…And so many people are trying to convince us we're taking crazy pills.
Yup–I didn't read the novel, but I've read where people who have noted that the teacher's darker color and natural hair helps the lead character to not hate her own skin color. And it would not have been as bad if a much lighter actress was cast who had natural hair, and also addressed colorism in the movie (which I did see). None of that happened, it was just Paula as the beacon of light and goodness, no explanations needed. Which is even more ingrained, when these mindsets are accepted with no discussion.
You drew out the real issue. this is about colorism and the fact that they think that women who are light skinned are treated better. That is all this is about. Emotion.
You really live on another planet. Are you saying the black women on this thread are just insecure?
I think when it comes to biracial women. Yes. You are. Why else would there be all of this angst because they identify themselves as black? I do not see black men pitching a fit when Boris Kodjoe or Lenny Kravitz is talked about as handsome or is awarded a role in a movie.
No, I live on this planet and I call them as I see them. Have a nice day.
Not once in my life have i been insecure about myself.
I think a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman her ethnicity is of no importance to me. And i still believe there is a difference between black and biracial people. Lenny kravitz is biracial so is alicia keys gender does not make a difference to me.
You know people do not know what to object to you when they start going the "black women are insecure" route. Lol
When biracial men start being cast as black men on a regular basis THEN we will know if they have an issue with that or not.
Save the insecure accusation for the easily impressed. Grow up and have a good day.
Boris Kodjoe never plays bi-racial. Lenny Kravitz in Precious and possibly the Marvin Gaye movie. Bi-racial black men are all over hollywood and Black men do not have a problem. that was the point I made.
BTW. Only hit dogs holler.
I am not familiar at all with the work of boris kodjoe ( never seen his movies) and the only time i have seen lenny kravitz in a movie was in hunger games. And i stand by my opinion.
You are right. Only hit dogs holler. I wonder why other people opinions hurt you so much. Grow up.
Wth are you sayingggggg?! Coming out of left field. Man goodbye.
Biracial does not exclusively mean Black and White.
