text: Three weeks in and the suffer-fest continues! Last night it was in Mac's dark old garage with ambiance provided by halogen work lights. Forty-five minutes of bs'ing and spinning followed by an hour of power intervals and recovery. Good stuff! Needless to say I am tired and in need of a rest, guess it would help if I went to bed before 1AM.

After my Paris sojourn, I said my goodbyes to Aus and hopped on a train to visit my friend Imke who lives in Osnabruck, Germany. The last time I saw Imke was exactly two years ago when I visited her in Berlin and had an awesome time.
Unsurprisingly this time was no different!
Imke and her boyfriend Jochen picked me up at the train station and we set about doing normal German activities on a Friday afternoon…buying shoes for Imke, and buying a long-awaited German pretzel for me!
The one tourist attraction I visited was the room where the Treaty of Westphalia was signed in 1648!
The next day the real fun began when I was invited to Imke's sister's birthday party! We travelled to a different town for a big breakfast, followed by a walk in a local, castle-filled park (!) and cake.
I finally got to meet Imke's parents, her sister Kirsten, even her grandparents.
On Sunday we had a nice, relaxing day at home.
Jochen meticulously cleaned his bike.
Imke and I went for a walk around the farm where her apartment is located.
We spent time watching the animals around her house, including peacocks, sheep, ducks, and some odd-looking geese.
Later on Imke cooked not one, but two quiches, both of which were delicious!
I also have to add that Imke and Jochen are two very competitive foosball players, encouraged by the fact that half of their kitchen space is taken up by a newly-acquired foosball table.
My last day with Imke was spent at her parents' house in her hometown, Soest. Beginning with a lovely tour of the historic city and ending with two rounds of a German board game that I handily lost both times!
I got to see the ancient city wall that surrounded the old town of Soest.
I think what impressed me the most was that so many of the town buildings had been standing since 1200 and something and that the government goes through great lengths to preserve them for the future.
Imke, Jochen and her parents were beyond hospitable and truly by the end of this weekend, I feel like one of the family.
Which is turning out not to be such a bad things, as I have decided that Germany will be my new home until the beginning of March!
Guten nacht from western Germany every one!

I don't know much about Ted Cruz. I don't care to. His hilariously disastrous run to become President of the United States was just that, really quite funny. Not funny haha but funny that this bumbling, poor man's Boris Johnson, thought he was actually a good candidate for becoming President. He lost to Donald Trump. Donald. Trump. If I had lost to a simple-minded, bigoted, oompa-loompa I would have crawled into a hole and stayed there to wait for death.
But not Ted Cruz. He is too stupid to even do that.
I don't give a rat's left nut about Ted Cruz. He is so far removed from my own life (and really, politics in my own country is going through its own shit-fest anyway) that I don't spare much thought for this idiot. He stands for everything in this world that I disagree with. And these are mainly things that are individual to people and have nothing to do with him (and his equally moronic party) like a woman's right to have an abortion and/or birth control or whether or not two (or three or even four) dudes are having sex with each other, to which bathroom people can use.
And in a less individual but much more "it's to keep your country safe" type of way, he just doesn't feel like gun control is a big issue. 90% of the citizens of the country (including gun owners) are in favour of gun control. But Senator (that sounds like a joke) Ted Cruz thinks they are all stupid and he is the only person in the world who truly understands why shootings repeatedly happen in his country. Ok, so what did he say was the reason behind the Orlando shooting just over a month ago? Oh that's right, it's an Islamic terrorism issue not a gun control issue.
But of course it is Teddy! Of course it is. Because Christina Grimmie was gunned down by an Islamic terrorist that same weekend. Omar Mateen, shot and killed over 49 people in a gay nightclub because he was only a Muslim. Not because he was apparently gay and hated himself for it and it was this combination of his religion and homosexuality that led him to obtain an assault rifle faster than I can get a GP appointment. And let's not forget those five, FIVE mass shootings on February 20th 2016 alone – yeah, that's one single day of shootings in your country – all committed by those radicalised Muslims all over the place (it should be worrying to you that I could go on with other examples from this year).
Give me a fucking break with this bullshit. You can't tell anyone that mass shootings, of which there have been well over 100, since the start of 2016 in the US (and we're only barely 7 months into the year) can be stopped by eradicating radicalisation of Muslims. Ted Cruz's statements continually attribute mass shootings to Islamic radicalisation and that is irresponsible in the grossest possible way and just reaffirms the fact that he has no business becoming the President of a country already on the brink of turning on itself.
If you want another example of just how Ted Cruz picks and chooses where he lays blame, just think of the Dallas shootings earlier this month. Two black men were shot and killed within days of each other by law enforcement. Ted Cruz acknowledged nothing about this. The entire world heard and saw the fallout of it all. But Ted Cruz remained curiously silent about it all on his Twitter feed until a peaceful protest in Dallas ended in blood and terror when snipers decided to shoot and injure a dozen officers, killing five of them. Cruz dedicated 14 tweets to the fallen police officers. Now, he absolutely should have done so. And, to his credit, he didn't attribute this shooting to those pesky Muslims. But he did nothing else. He mourned the loss of the officers but he didn't offer anything else. No calm. No solidarity or understanding with the black community, who are just as much American as the officers. Nothing. His silence said a lot. He ignores African-Americans with the same vigour as he blames terror attacks on Islam. Fyi, Senator Cruz, the Dallas shooting was an act of terrorism. I'm sure if the perpetrators had sworn allegiance to Islam instead of Black Lives Matter, you would have been on that right quick. Better to just ignore black people though right? Because they're not as much of a problem in the world as a whole like Muslims are. You can just look right through them because they are too unimportant on the whole. They're neither dangerous nor worthy. They are not silent but you don't hear them. But if they started reading the Qu'ran or wanted to get an abortion or were gay or wanted to use a bathroom that you didn't think was the 'correct' one, you would all of a sudden see them. Right?
And this was the man who wanted to be the President of arguably the most powerful country in the world. Oh. my. God.
So why am I so angry with him now? The man (thankfully) isn't even in the running for the Presidency anymore. Well, last night I watched in horror as news of yet another attack came to light in France. This time in Nice. Despite how mixed I am, I am half British and half French. I consider myself European (don't laugh, being European still means something to me). I was horrified. I was saddened. Yesterday had been an especially bad day on a personal level but it had ended quietly and ok in the end until I saw what had happened in Nice.
Every time something like this happens in France, I feel so many things. A profound sadness, empathy like nothing else before it, numbness, anger, fear, lucky that it didn't happen here, guilt for feeling like this. So many emotions all rolled up into one. France is resilient. It is a country that has its problems but it is strong. Terrorists are trying to break them. They are trying to use the fear of its citizens against them, to tear them apart. France is resisting. There might be tears, there might be fear, there might be anger, but they get back up and they march on.
Ted Cruz bringing his stupidity to Europe, therefore, is something I – as a British/French woman, as a European – do not want. While world leaders such as Chancellor Merkel, Prime Minister May and President Obama offered their condolences, their support, their sympathies, recognition of the strength of France and condemnation of the attack, this halfwit did his best to show the world that he really is just like Donald Trump when he tweeted this idiocy:
Here is what Trump had to say.
Really these two pig-headed fools are so much very much alike it makes me laugh that Cruz once considered himself the opposite to Trump. You know who is more opposite to Trump than Cruz? Hillary Clinton. For all her faults she responded like an actual leader.
Even Boris Johnson showed that beneath all of that baffoonery is actually a somewhat smart man who knows that there is a time and a place for political rhetoric and this was not it.
I am not saying for one second that the Nice attack was not an act of terrorism. It was. It absolutely was. But Ted Cruz is the kind of stupid ass that would take one look at an act like this and say yep, this is all Obama's fault (because this is one black person he actually can see) and we are all vulnerable to radical Islam and oh my god it's going to happen here!!! We're all in danger of dying! The Muslims are going to get us!! A reaction like this is not what anyone needs immediately after a terror attack. Leaders actually lead by example. And it is really bad when you are worse than Vladimir Putin. So good job on that Ted!
Listen up, you hate-filled, waste of (perfectly polluted) oxygen, the terror attack in Nice killed over 80 people. Dozens more are injured. Children died. One man has reportedly lost his entire family. Exercise some human decency, some actual human feeling for once in your pathetic little life and do not respond to this kind of senseless violence with a statement on how Islamists are going to kill us all and we should lay the blame at President Obama's feet. You don't know how lucky the country has been to have had a President who understands fundamentally, what it means to be a President. Your stupidity is endangering the citizens of your own country. That is bad enough already, but you can keep it there and back the hell off of Europe. We might not always get along or even really like each other much at times, but we band together when terrorists attack us. If you can't stand back for two minutes to actually think about what is happening in this world long enough to realise that what we all need is some comfort, some strength, some damn compassion(!), to be reminded that the actions of a group of psychopaths cannot and will not destroy us instead of adding fuel to the fire (that fuel is hate in case your feeble mind couldn't understand that), then you have no business bringing your bullshit to us over here. You endanger us all when you do this. We have enough of our own problems to deal with and your country also has enough of the problems you continue to create and drive home to handle so keep your thoughts on terror attacks to yourself. Because whilst radicalisation is a problem, Islamic radicalisation is not the only kind that is happening – that people are vulnerable to – and you most certainly are not the best person to be using the word Islamic in any way shape or form. You have no true understanding of just how damaging it is to continually use 'Islamic' or 'Islam' in the same sentence as terrorism or radicalisation. You are attributing these two things with one religion and nothing else. See my point about Dallas if you don't think so.
So unless you are willing to come over here and look the mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, partners, husbands, wives, friends of the dead or injured in the next attack on us (because people like you ensure that we end up having to deal with more and more) in the eyes and tell them that you are sorry (and even this won't be enough) for being part of the problem that made them have to go through the kind of unspeakable pain that comes with burying a child or spouse, you can keep your sorry excuse for – I don't even know what your point is – to yourself. Keep your hate away from us. We have enough of it to deal with already. You don't get to decide to burden us with more of it.

This one actually turned into a song I think, so they poetic balance may be a little off. I was spurred on by a very gifted song writer this week to be more creative in my lyrics. While I absolutely agree that we as writers should always be seeking out fresh perspective, I have wondered if sometimes if we try to hard to be creative if we will end up missing the power of simple truths communicated through simple words.
This is my poetic and creative attempt to say,
"maybe sometimes simple is good."
Words are shattered on the ground
Weak from over use, profound
No longer meaningful it seems
They now betray Your Majesty
And I ponder with what verb I should describe
The One who blew across the desert
Until life began to softly harmonize
Sounds of the Word over an ocean
On a planet as in spun in endless sky
I wonder with revision
If I could paint a clearer image of the light
If restructured verbal interludes
Will suddenly enlist you in the fight
And I ponder with what words I should describe
I can't find new words which will describe
Perfection trading glory's throne
For the anguish of all those who call His name
Hands that formed the world anew
Now reaching out to welcome once lost children home
So the question still remains
Is there a combination made
Of words that orchestrate the reverence that's desired
Or are words simply inadequate
To adequately stimulate your heart
Though I tried I couldn't recreate
A better way to say that "God Creates" and "Jesus Saves"
Maybe simple is the answer
And the song we sing each day should be the same
"Jesus loves me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so"

I agree that there is a definite power in brevity which can sometimes be viewed as being simple. Here's one of my favorite and shortest poems from my book titled "Your Gift of Grace":
As Iron Sharpens Iron
by Tom Janicik
Brother in Christ
Remove the debris
Which torments our souls
Strike firm
With your sword
Refining us
As a sharp blade
Gleans brightly
In the light
So to shall
We shine
As iron sharpens iron
Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. NKJV
Take care,

While many people have at least heard of Howl's Moving Castle because of the film adaptation, the sequels seem to fly under the radar. Which is a shame since they seem to be just as good. I say sequel, but that's not entirely accurate. Like The Chronicles of Narnia, these books occur in the same world as Howl's Moving Castle while focusing a different set of characters with previously established characters occasionally popping up to contribute in ways only they could.
Abdullah is a simple carpet merchant who often daydreams about a more adventurous life. However, when an unusual stranger sells him a magic flying carpet, those daydreams begin to come true, but not in the way Abdullah wanted.
Another Love Letter of a Different Flavor
If Howl's Moving Castle was a love letter to fairy tales, then Castle in the Air is another letter to a different kind of fairy tale. Specifically, it pays homage to Arabian stories similar Aladdin or The Forty Thieves. Containing things like flying carpets and djinn, Castle in the Air still gives the feeling of a fairy tale, but the flavor is different. I think this shows Diana Jones's skill since she can
No Minor Characters
After reading two of her books, I have to conclude that Dianne Wynne Jones is completely incapable of having a minor character in her stories. And I absolutely love it about her writing. If a character is encountered for even a brief amount of time, they will at the very least contribute to the plot in some way or another. A more common occurrence, however, is that they are later revealed to be much more important than initially portrayed. A character that is simply bumped into on the street can later become one of the most important characters in the series. Having spotted this pattern, I find myself paying much more attention to every character and every interaction hoping to spot what the next major development is going to be. Despite this consideration, I still get surprised by some of the twists these "minor" characters bring me, and I absolutely love it.
More Flawed Characters
Consistent with a theme from the previous book, all of the characters from Castle in the Air are flawed and imperfect. These imperfections are by no means small. Abdullah himself is a liar to an almost pathological degree. His love interest, Flower-in-the-Night, was sheltered to the point of extreme naiveté. These flaws also shape some of the more impactful moments of the book when the characters overcome them. One of the more tender moments is when Abdullah needs to confess to having lied about something. Furthermore, these flaws are not solid defining characteristics. While Flower-in-the-Night is naïve, she is by no means unintelligent. In fact, she is one of the more intelligent characters in the book. Through no fault of her own, she simply led a very sheltered life.
Final Thoughts
Like the previous book in the series, I do recommend this book to anyone that is interested. I wish I could go into more detail about what makes this make clever and a good read, but I'm trying to avoid spoiling both it and Howl's Moving Castle. Despite this hindrance, I will encourage anyone to at least pick it up and give it a try.

For a what? Anyhow I like all kinds of fiction myself, such as tales about knights and magic and swords and all that clap trap, however I don't think that one could emulate merlin and become some kind of hero or something. Now Batman or Ironman are more workable. Ya there is plenty of silliness in those comics too but it's the basic theory behind them that is relavent to us.

another little observation........
It seems to me that children are urged to steer clear of romantic attachments until the moment when the parent thinks it appropriate and once appropriate it seems to suddenly become desirable and even desperate in quick succession.
I'm wondering where the turning point is?
Why does it seem to be a case of no, no, no, no, no, no.... YES. NOW!!!!
All of that brings me to a little soapbox:
Like all mothers I think my kids are gorgeous and they apparently are because people sometimes look at the girls and inform me that "you'll need a shotgun for them"
It always sends me into a brief and well managed but intense rage. I honestly don't know why it annoys me so much because it is well meant and largely unthinking, maybe it is the very lack of thought I object to?
We are born with a sexuality, largely unconcious until we reach adolescence,
but nevertheless it is there and as adults it is an essential part of our lives. If we are not sexually active we are thinking of how to find a partner, how to look better, how to be more generally attractive. We evaluate the attractiveness of others, we joke about sex, we flirt, we might enjoy a saucy film or an erotic book.
If we hope for our children to lead rich adult lives why are we so keen to ignore or repress their sexuality? I'm not suggesting anything extreme. I want my kids to respect and be respected. I want them to be reasonably modest. I want them to have positive views and positive experiences of life and that will include sex.
The whole shotgun idea just makes so many assumptions.
Why shouldn't I protect my boys from voracious girls?
Why would my girls be involved with the sort of boy who might "corrupt" them?
Who says the girls wouldn't be willing participants in being corrupted?
And who says they need my intervention? If I have properly prepared them they will (hopefully) be capable of making their own decisions.
I know that inappropriate sex can lead to all kinds of pain and heartbreak and I don't want to see that. Nobody wants to see their child with a broken heart but we can't stop it happening, we can only help pick up the pieces and in the meantime I find the whole idea of "protecting " my girls by isolating them is repulsive to me.

You just blow me away. I'll never look at kids the same way again. Yes, it's true. I don't have kids and at my age never will, but this is brilliant and if I had kids I'd reconsider my approach to the teen years. You're right. You really are. You sort of sound like my little sister. How interesting. Hummmmmmmmmmmmm.ReplyDelete

I am on the other side of the fence as I have a boy who is not quite 16, and suddenly has developed a very keen interest in the opposite sex. We are trying to be as open and honest as we can, my wife is better than me I must admit. My big concern is that he treats women with respect and dignity. As to broken hearts, I fear it is something we all must experience at one time or another. All we can really do is listen and hug them, and hopefully the foundations are strong.
hi rob,ReplyDelete
i am also concerned that, when their time comes, my boys will be respectful.
i'm sure that no teen should just be unleashed willy nilly, i just hate the assumptions in the whole "you'll need a shotgun" comment.
i am prepared to concede that my opinion might change when it is all actually happening!
with a dad like you taylor will surely behave well.

Hi Kylie,ReplyDelete
I agree with your post. I often have people saying that exact same thing about Helen. I always thought it was a strange thing to say and got a little offended when people said that. I was also thinking why? Is she not mature enough to say yes or no which i think she will be able to.
On another topic I asked if she had been invited to any parties where she knew alcohol was going to be served. Helen said she hadn't but got very defensive about it.but she knew of people who had. I said if she had would she go. to which she replied well no. I said wwhy are you getting antsy about it she said well you wouldn't let me go anyway. to I said you haven't been asked yet so what are you getting cross for?
Hope you understand what I mean.
see ya Jo.
Damm! I knew you would move before i finished commenting.ReplyDelete
I commented when you were on the blog at 5.22pm and then you had gone. Have you gone to get your dinner ready? I better do the same.
i went to read a little bit of the paper. i should be getting dinner though :)ReplyDelete
i know exactly what you mean.
at 14 liam is probably a bit young yet to be invited to parties with alcohol and as a very quiet and self contained boy he isnt interested so thats all easy so far.
i expect it will be different when the younger three get a bit older. they are all highly sociable. at this stage i think i will trust them all to be around alcohol and not be silly about it but it's the rest of the crowds who could be a worry!
i'm so glad it's not only me who gets sniffy about that comment!
have a wonderful weekend
The words defiance, elopement and rebellion spring to mind. If a parent is forever "protectionist" they may for a short time neutralize certain behaviour in offspring but rarely does permanent conformity to parental ambition occur. Who is to say parental judgement in a certain instance is correct anyway?ReplyDelete
John is wise.ReplyDelete

I suppose the shotgun comment is meant as a sort of compliment- but unthinking, as you say!ReplyDelete
Teenage love and hormones...very tricky! I have found that they are happy to talk about the physical things but completely shy of talking about feelings and emotions.
It's a walk they have to take alone and it is painful to watch sometimes.
I agree- your boys will need as much protection and care as your girls :)
Hi Kylie,ReplyDelete
It's hard to figure out the right amount of protectiveness with the need to let the young ones stretch their wings. It was for me. No, I definitely don't think you are an uncaring extremist. Far from it in fact.
Best wishes,
leah thinks you're wise :)
g'day bob :)ReplyDelete
hi cinnamon!ReplyDelete
i do know it's a compliment and i try to take it that way.
i didnt realise i had to talk to them about feelings !!!!
hi skeeter!ReplyDelete
you are ever gracious.
have a lovely weekend
well kyles, you're gonna have to get cracking on educating all your kids cause "you're a bad role model" and you'll need to get yourself sorted out before you can help them :) he he heReplyDelete

Parking in the town centre
Potholes, faulty streetlights and more
Life-sized creations, representing aspiring artists' creativity, links and affinity with Bolton have brightened up the town centre.
Following the demolition of properties on Newport Street, Great Moor Street and Johnson Street, hoardings have been erected around the upper level of the town's interchange site.
As part of a joint scheme between the University of Bolton and Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), the hoardings display artwork created by Fine Art and Textile Design degree students.
Each of the 36 students involved was asked to create a life-sized self-portrait with a design that reflected their very own personal link to both the university and the town.
Asked to incorporate a bright, bold use of colour and pattern, the students' aim was to make the area surrounding the interchange much more pleasant and visually engaging for passers-by and draw attention to development of the site.
Hoardings were recently erected ahead of the start of construction work on the interchange, which is being developed by TfGM and Bolton Council.
The £48m project, which is being funded through the Greater Manchester Transport Fund, will see a brand new, modern and fully accessible interchange built opposite the current train station on Trinity Street, with the two facilities linked by a new enclosed pedestrian footbridge.
The scheme will support Bolton Council's Town Centre Transport Strategy and will also include a cycle hub as part of a Greater Manchester-wide cycling initiative.
Leader of Bolton Council, Councillor Cliff Morris, said: "The interchange will provide an up-to-date transport facility for commuters and it is a key part of our town centre strategy. The artwork brightens up the area and it means that when you're driving or walking along Newport Street, you're not just faced with a construction site. The students have worked hard on the designs and we've already had good feedback from local businesses about them."
Councillor Andrew Fender, Chair of the TfGM Committee, said: "I think that the use of the hoardings to showcase local artists' work is an excellent idea and one that not only helps further integrate the project with the Bolton community, but also makes the surrounding area much more visibly engaging.
"I am very impressed with the students' designs. I am sure that their talents will draw attention to this fantastic project that will provide better links between bus and rail services, as well as improved waiting areas, passenger facilities, accessibility, information, and safety and security."
Alan Buckingham, Senior Lecturer in Fine Art and Programme Leader for BA and MA Fine Art at the University of Bolton, said: "Projects in other city centres have involved artists using the hoardings put up around building sites. Artwork on the boards helps to make the spaces much more engaging and bearable for the public who have to see the hoardings every day."
The students were delighted to be given the opportunity to contribute to such a large public display.
Liam Ainscough, 40, from Bolton said: "It's good as an art student to put something back into the community as well as showcase the work we do on the University of Bolton Fine Art course."
Jody Middleton, 21, from Leeds said: "It's so exciting to know that people are actually seeing my work. As an art student it's one of the most desirable things that can happen and I'm very grateful for the opportunity."
Amy Agnew, 19, from Bolton said: "I'm very happy and excited to have my work on display for the public. I've never had my work on public display before and I hope that I will get to do it again someday."

Thinking of switching our flexible mortgage for a Virgin One style account - any experience?(24 Posts)
We took out our current mortgage with the Legal and General 6 years ago. Northern Rock have since taken it over, and the service has gradually worsened (removed snazzy bits of internet site that let you do all sorts of projections, have now removed ALL internet access to the account, and when we request money out of the account, they often forget to process our request, sometimes leaving us open to overdraft charges or fines from the Inland Revenue (as withdrawals are usually to pay the taxman)).
We are therefore considering changing accounts. I am fine with the concept of all the money being in one place, but tbh really can't be bothered with the hassle of changing our bank account, which we've had with the Abbey for donkeys.
I guess I'm looking for general advice or experience, and answers to the following specific questions..
1. Where can I find out the interest rates for the last, say, 2 years for all accounts that I'm considering, so that I can compare how they have been doing with our current mortgage?
2. If we go for a Virgin One, can we still keep our existing bank account, and perhaps gradually move more and more of our standard payments over?
3. Who else offers something like the Virgin One?
Thanks .
Don't all rush to tell me your experience at once now .
I really think the offsetting saves a lot of money and it is worth the hassle of changing your bank account. The money is in one place, but there is a mortgage pot and a current account pot and however many pots of whatever name you would like to have. So it is sort of separate, but still offset. It can be more worthwhile than an ISA, depending on rates.
Why are you so loyal to Abbey - I bet they are making a packet out of your money! Any bit of money that comes into an offset account is immediately offset and saves mortgage interest at whatever rate you are paying. A normal current account does not come close to this!
Only thing is that you'll need to pay to get it set up. ie changing mortgage company will mean that your house will need a valuation survey done and this will probably cost you.
We had an offset mortgage and account with first direct and I have to say we found them wonderful, and we saved loads of money. Are now in France and wish we had something like that here.
we have a flexible current account mortgage with the Royal bank of Scotland, and it's fantastic. Can't answer your question about the rates, but we have internet access, and can keep very close eye on our money.
We don't have separate "pots", just one account for all our money, so it currently looks as if we are £190,000 overdrawn , but they tell us every month how far ahead or behind of our plan we are, so can easily keep track of things. The best part of it has been that we can spend money up to the maximum amount we are allowed to borrow, without requesting a loan, and it is the same rate as the mortgage. So when dh needed a new car, we were able to pay with Switch, and not wait for clearance of a cheque! probably not the best account for an impulse buyer, but good for us, as we're pretty careful (read tight!)
I have a oneaccount, it is quite expensive when compared to similar products but has always worked well for us. Our mortgage is quite small and I usually manage to keep half of it on 0% credit cards. I like knowing exactly how much debt I have and being able to buy anything I want without having to arrange loans etc. The internet banking used to be quite poor but they have improved the service hugely in the last year.
tissy - we used to have that and we found it brilliant too. I want to go back to that as soon as we can. When we moved last year, they wouldn't lend us the amount we needed (totally ridiculous really as they'd seen how we'd managed our account - paid about £20K off it in 2 years) so we had to go for a fixed rate with Northern Rock.
Can't wait to go back to the current account one.
Because dh is commission based and I'm self employed, the current account mortgage was fab. Because we were never near our limit, it didn't matter if we had a lower pay month as we just ate into the reserve (needing no permission to do so) and then it would get 'paid off' again with a better pay packet the following month.
The way we have it now with a normal current account and a normal mortgage is a bloody nightmare. Always having to watch that we don't go into the red and if a big bill comes up trying to make sure we covered it. We are so much better off now, income wise, than we were a couple of years ago when we had the current account mortgage but have to monitor the account and think so far forward to upcoming big outgoings - we never had to do that before.
BUT, I'm not sure RBS offer the current account mortgage now - I think you can have an offset where you have different accounts but i think the one we had, and tissy has, is miles better.
Ooh some responses - thanks ladies, as I know it's not the most interesting subject in the world!
crokky - I'm not really sure why we are so loyal to Abbey, especially since firefox (our browser of choice) isn't supported by their internet site. I guess it's mostly because dh has had the account since before we even met, and he's a bit of a luddite when it comes to all things financial . I think it's more the hassle of telling everybody that we've changed, and having to re-set up all of our standing orders etc that puts me off moving.
I will emphasise that we are no strangers to the concept of putting money in the mortgage account rather than the current account. DH (and I until I had dd) is self-employed, and currently earning very well, so we bung lump sums into the mortgage account on a regular basis, and overpay the interest (it's an interest only account) by at least £1k each month. We then draw out large amounts twice a year to pay income tax.
pigleto - you are saying that the interest rate is high on the One account? Do you know off the top of your head what your current rate is?
So so far we have RBS and first direct worth looking at.
Ah, cross posted with your second post - so RBS might not be a goer. Noted.
According to their website, the flexible choice mortgage is still available to remortgagers.
Definitely worth a look.
Just had a look at RBS' flexible choice mortgage, but there's no mention of it being a single account. It reads just like the flexible mortgage that we have already. Is this def the one that you have tissy?
Flexible choice is the one we have. It's not the same as Offset Flexible mortgage
Sorry tissy, but I think I'm still missing something here! This is the info that I've found on the flexible choice mortgage, but in your original post you say that yours is a single account which 'looks' like you're very overdrawn.
The info on that link makes absolutely no mention of it being that sort of account at all - just reads like a regular flexible mortgage.
Maybe they've kept the same name for it, but changed what the account actually is for people taking it out now?
oneaccount is currently charging 6.85%, if you did fancy it get someone to refer you as they do incentives.
I think we might be a bit more complicated than most remortgagers, as we might actually go into credit for a while at some point in the next couple of years (but will need the money back out to then pay the evil taxman), and the First Direct one charges you for repaying the mortgage, and doesn't pay any interest when you are in credit.
Am starting to think that maybe we need an IFA or something similar, but they charge for their services don't they?
Will bear you in mind if we go for the One Account pigleto .
Have a look at the Woolwich Offset acount. As an IFA it is one I tend to recommend the most as it is simple and the monthly statement is easy to understand. You can also set up 12 saving pots which can be used to offset against your mortgage. Additionally you can use their web site to check your account on line etc.
Have a llok at this page for offset details
www.personal.barclays.co.uk/BRC1/jsp/brccontrol?task=articleFWopenplanwealth&site=pfs&value=10354&me nu=5229
Find an a IFA here who should be able to advise and let them know you do not want to pay a fee. www.unbiased.co.uk/?WT.mc_t=PPC&WT.mc_n=Google&WT.srch=1
Good luck!
Thanks BGD. I think I'll try and talk to Woolwich (now part of Barclays I assume?) and Virgin this week, and see what they each have to offer, and then follow up with an IFA if I don't seem to be getting anywhere. Quite like the idea of the 'savings pots' now I think about it more, as we could set aside the tax money, and poss save some up in case we decide to go down a private education route. Do you know if the Woolwich one pays interest if you end up net in credit?
Not a 100% sure but I think not, you can always give them a call. I think as well if you have rich relatives they can use a saving pot as well so saving you interest on the mortgage! Not sure if that still applies. Just a thought.
We're with First Direct, and think that they're fab. You can fully offset your mortgage without incurring a charge - you just have 2 (or more) different accounts - one with -£XK and one with +£XK. Not all of your accounts have to be offset so you can have additional interest-bearing savings accounts to use when you are in a net credit position. The other potential benefit is that not all of the accounts which are offset for interest purposes have to be joint accounts, so Dh and I can have separate accounts which are part of the offset arrangement. We run our set-up in such a way that we never actually pay off any of our (huge) mortgage acount - but instead we just have cash in different savings accounts, some earmarked by specifically as mortgage "repayment", some for school fees, other being job-related low interest loans which we've taken out to reduce our interest repayments.
We do have to manage the issue about going into a net credit position, but usually I can predict that and will switch some funds to a different account/investment.
Also when we took out the current mortgage we asked for more than we needed - we viewed that with the offset facility we were effectively being given the OK for a huge overdraft faciity if we ever wanted/needed it.
We had a first direct mortgage until last year and thought it was great, we often paid off more and then raided when we needed to pay builders, worked brilliantly and enabled us to pay off more mortgage than we would have done otherwise
We would still have one but we took out a fixed interest buy to let so couldn't have one
I think tissy has the current account mortgage where you are £xxxxx overdrawn - that's the one we used to have. I seem to remember that at the time we were switching they were phasing that out but keeping it for existing customers. So if we'd stayed where we were we'd still have it but we wouldn't be able to get one now because they don't offer it.
I haven't checked though.
We have the Barclays account - Openplan.
We already had a Barclays current account, but our mortgage was with a different company. Our Barclays private banker arranged everything - which included having our house revalued by a surveyor, and dealing with the original mortgage company.
I love the account - there is just no worry with it, as we have all our savings there, and also it comes with a reserve account.
The Barclays account doesn't show your balance at -£xxx,xxx - instead it puts everything in pots, so you have your current account pot, your savings pots, your mortgage and your reserve account. For interest calculation reasons, they add everything together, but for your day to day budgeting, you know exactly where you are.
The one downside is that you can't get promotional short term interest rates, so everything is at the market rate. If you have lots of savings, this should not matter much. If however, you don't have any savings, it is probably not the best product.

I've been busy, and tired. So not many updates.
We've been having many pleasant days, where we all go to bed content with ourselves. We laugh a lot, and have fun playing with each other, go to the playground, sing, dance, and a nice bedtime routine.
Tilly has begun brushing his teeth again, after a hiatus. The solution was to start Brush Teeth routine before Mummee got too tired to put up with Tilly's faffing.
On Saturday, 22nd Dec, he woke up before his parents and decided he wanted to play with me. I was still asleep. That didn't deter him. My hand was made to hold my cellphone and to press buttons so the screen lit up.
Yesterday, 23rd Dec, he woke up before his parents and decided he wanted to play with me. I was still asleep. That didn't deter him. He sat and stared at me until I decided I ought to wake up. I opened my eyes, and received the nicest, biggest grin from the most sweetest face. I laughed, and hugged him.
This morning, 24th Dec, he woke up before his parents. He decided he'd play by himself. He muttered and talked and discovered the wonders of an undefended parental bedroom. He found a few bits and bobs - a discarded card holder - and explored in his idiosyncratic manner "Dadee" "found" "all gone" "finish".
He likes my singing. He has requested songs. He knows the classic Jingle Bell song. He will tell me when he wants to get into his own bed to sleep. He has a penchant for Daddee to help him sleep. But he'll settle for Mummee after a long episode of whining. We just got to get to the end.
Yesterday I established that when Tilly is wailing, he can hear me speak and understand the words I say. It's been a routine where he wails so loudly, I keep repeating myself in an effort to have him hear and understand me, to the point I lose my temper and lash out by shouting or absenting myself from the situation abruptly and ignore him, and he wails even louder which antagonises me even more.
Last night, before I felt myself reaching the lashing out apex, I decided I wasn't going to repeat myself four times (which is my trigger: I don't enjoy nagging people). As Tilly is wailing his utmost as usual, I spoke at my normal level of voice.
"Tilly, you aren't listening to me, so I'm not going to listen to your crying."
He looked disbelieving, and continued his performance.
"Tilly, you aren't listening to me so I'm not listening to your crying."
He came to an almost sudden halt, with a couple of hiccoughs.
He evaluated his options. He stopped wailing and chose something else to do.
Ever since I obtained the vocabulary list from this survey, and conversed with a few parents of toddlers around the same age as Tilly, I've decided to try to expand my repertoire of conversation with Tilly.
I've done my best to give him some grounding in languages other than English. My ability in the other languages have been reached. So now it's grammar time.
Admittedly, Tilly's 1- 2-word vocabulary is absolutely charming, and I am loth to not hear it for much longer. However his frustration tantrums is quite infuriating to everyone in the household.
On balance, I'll live with the sentimental loss.
The day I spent with Tilly at daycare, I learned more of Tilly's socialised tendencies.
He has been bullied. When other kids 'share' (aka take things away from him), he waits for authority to intervene, or becomes sad and finds another activity. This 'downtrodden' reaction is how I've been brought up, and I want better for my boy.
His teachers explain to Tilly he can tell the other kid to "stop". But without modelling of that new behaviour, or role play, Tilly is unable to internalise the new reaction.
My solution to Tilly's nice nature: it's okay not to Share; it's acceptable to hold on tight to the object and shout "Mine!"
He is a nice boy. He does know how to share. He often shares things he isn't possessive about with people he cares about.
It can wait until later to learn about sharing things you care about with people you don't care about. 5yo. Or 6yo. When he's cognitively strong enough to process the strong emotions that will entail. Many adults haven't surpassed that stage yet, and get quite selfish with such things as public access across their land to public beaches, forests, shared ancestral land, rubbish bins, stationery. Toothbrushes.
So, I praise him when he stands up for himself against Daddee or Mummee.
"Hey, that's good Atilla. Good standing up for yourself."
I may regret this. He is itenaried to start the Terrible Twos.
He saw our Christmas tree. He stood, and he looked.
"Christmas tree!" He stood, and looked.
"Christmas tree!"
He stood, and he saw. "Santa" (puppet Santa)
He really has been a lot of fun.
I wish the same joy for everybody.
Merry Christmas!

|Yinger Leads by 2
|After two great days of golf, Zach Yinger leads the 91st playing of our Area's Amateur Championship by 2 shots over 2010 Champion, Jeff Scohy and Minster's Ben Hogenkamp. There where 34 players that made the cut that fell at 154. Making the strongest comeback was Paul Day and Steven Sveda who each shot 71 after opening rounds of 79. Tee Times start at 10:15 for tomorrow's third round with the final group going at 12:05. The weather appears to be unstable over the next couple of days so let's hope that forecast does not hold up. If we have weather issues they will be announced on the championship website.

Hi teachers! As well as being a children's author, I'm also an illustrator, a numeracy & literacy tutor, and a primary-trained teacher. I work best with Year 5+.
School Visits: In my interactive and inspirational presentations we explore narrative (or report) structure, writing techniques (with a focus on deeper features), and being creative with our writing (the best part, obviously). I help make writing feel fun and approachable, especially for reluctant writers – as I was one of them myself! I always give plenty of time for Q&A.
For older students, I also present on publishing pathways, career advice, and how the publishing world (currently) operates – please specify if you would like me to cover this.
Some schools choose to follow up these presentations with a small-group workshop, in which students can bring a piece of writing they are currently working on for individual feedback on how they can improve their stories and bring flair to their writing.
Cost: I work on a sliding scale based on school Decile level:
Half day (up to 3hrs):
1-3: $60
4-7: $110
8-10: $150
Full day (up to 6hrs):
1-3: $90
4-7: $150

The business community from all across the country has lauded the government and business leaders for their untiring efforts to bring Pakistan and Thailand closer which has opened new horizon of opportunities. President Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FPCCI) Zubair Ahmed Malik said that Thailand not only offersgolden business opportunities but many centres of education in Bangkok offer an alternative to our youngsters who desire quality foreign education at reduced price. The successful visit of Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra not only boosted sentiments but paved way for increased cooperation between the two countries which was a great national service, they added, says an FPCCI statement on Sunday. It said that they lauded the role of President FPCCI Zubair Ahmed Malik who visited Bangkok thrice before the arrival of Thai PM to ensure the positive developments on the economic front. In their meetings and messages to the president of the apex chamber the VP of Saarc Chamber Iftikhar Ali Malik, President IWCCI Farida Rashid, President ICCI Zafar Bakhtawari, President Sindh Women Chamber Rizwana Shahid, President South Punjab Women's Chamber and others said that the recent development was possible because of the sincerity of political and business leaders. The business leaders fully backed the regional approach of the the PML-N government and the FPCCI policy of people-to-people contacts which would go a long way in furthering cordial ties with Asian nations. Thailand can increase Pakistan's presence in the ASEAN opening new windows of opportunities, said Malik, adding that we will soon come out of the economic blues and break the begging bowl as we have full faith in government's reform agenda. In the first half of this year the value of Pak-Thai trade reached $536.8 million, a 7.2 percent increase on the same period last year, he informed. He called upon increased measures to control law and order in order to attract investment and tourists and make 'Look East Asia' policy a great success. (Source)

Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season 2 episode 8 is entitled: Delusional Beauty War "Mōsō Bitō" (妄想美闘). To stop General Two's meddling with reality, The Akibarangers look for him, until they finally manage to find his van, but Mutoumushite, another of Baros lol's monsters appear, forcing them to confront it in the delusional world. Malseena watches the fight from afar, later joined by General Two.
Despite being a Kenma monster from Juken Sentai Gekiranger, Akiba Red recognizes that Mutoumushite's swordsmanship as similar to the one used by Adjucant Buba from Dengeki Sentai Changeman. The enemy also uses techniques from other Super Sentai villains as well, but when Malseena joins the fight, he refuses to help her and upon being convinced that she is not needed anymore, General Two encases Malseena in a block of ice, in a fashion similar to Princess Ial's punishment in Hikari Sentai Maskman.

Princess 40 owner John Broadhurst started his boating career in small boats
before moving up to a Princess 286 Riviera. A Fairline Targa 30 followed, and then a Princess 366 Riviera. John then bought a Princess 46 Riviera in Mallorca intending to bring it to Torquay, but was sold on Med boating after a winter there. So it stayed, and a V40 occupied his Torquay berth. Conversely, Roger Tall has spent his whole 30-year boating career in the Mediterranean, but says he finds it too hot now, and bought the Princess 40 to base more locally in Chichester.
To protect this boat with Coppercoat multi-season antifoul would cost £1,350 (inc VAT)

In 2008 there were 69000 and 52000 injuries reported for pedestrians and bicyclists respectively.A majority of these injuries were a result of impulsive decisions by road users. This proposal aims to make use of proliferation of smartphones and provide a technical solution to mitigate the risks associated with these two types of road users. The SmartCross application will enable pedestrians and bicyclists to make informed decisions for crossing a signalized intersection thereby reducing the risks. The application would provide the smartphone user with the traffic light status for the intersections as well as alerting them of potential crash risks. The use cases and requirements will be defined by studying the different scenarios between the pedestrian the traffic light and nearby DSRC equipped devices. We will demonstrate in both laboratory and real world settings how a smartphone would connect to roadside infrastructure using available short-range wireless technologies like WiFi and Bluetooth. SmartCross will provide user feedback via audio visual and haptic mechanisms. The feature set can be further extended to implement features like two-way communication with the traffic light controller to request pedestrian phase extension and to provide alerts to DSRC equipped vehicles about potential pedestrian/bicyclist hazards.

text: Well the reality is he will probably still be here for Jan 1st and while i have crossed the divide to be one of the 'Hughes out' brigade in recent weeks, i am now prepared to get behind him for the 3 games leading up to then. I would expect a minimum of 6 points from the 3 games and that has to start with a win against the baggies this week. As for 'losing the dressing room', that might be a bit harsh, but you cant honestly say that the players are giving it their all for Hughes right now. Confidence looks shattered throught the team, and Robinho talking to the press about the 'City losing mentality' might have been better viewed if he had spoke to Hughes directly about it, and that to me, shows a a little lack of respect for his manager. But f*ck it, here goes for 3 games...........Cmon City, Cmon Hughesy Give us 9/9 and il give you all the time you need. (well end of season anyway)

Although breast cancer can be treated successfully when detected at an early stage, there are no curative treatments for patients who develop metastatic disease in bone. To develop new therapeutics we need to determine the molecular mechanisms involved in entry of tumor cells into the circulation and arrest, survival and growth into metastases in bone. Most studies of distant metastasis utilize in vivo models that require use of mice without an effective immune system thus precluding analysis of the contribution of the immune system to metastasis. We have used a unique syngeneic mouse model of breast cancer that spreads spontaneously to bone1 to identify genes associated with breast cancer progression. By microarray expression profiling we have made a novel discovery; that several genes involved in the Type I interferon pathway are suppressed in tumor cells isolated from bone metastases, when compared to matched primary breast tumors. Type I interferons (IFNs) activate innate and acquired immunity and have important roles in tumor immunosurveillance2. The suppression of multiple members of the Type I IFN pathway in metastatic tumor cells suggests an inability of tumor cells to both respond to and produce IFN. To determine whether IFN production by tumor cells inhibits bone metastasis, we have restored endogenous interferon production by enforced expression of interferon regulatory factor 7 (Irf7) in metastatic tumor cells and have also treated mice bearing metastatic tumors with IFNα cytokine therapy. In both cases, we observed a significant decrease in metastasis to lung and bone without an effect on primary tumor growth. Our preliminary data provide compelling evidence that tumor cells in the circulation or in the bone environment need to suppress their endogenous IFN pathways in order to survive and grow in bone. The main objectives of our future studies are to identify appropriate cellular and molecular functions of the Type I IFN pathway in bone metastases that can be augmented therapeutically for treatment of advanced breast cancer.

Information about Saint Peters College health fair, registering for degree programs, and taking practice exams for free online. Seek out nationally-accredited nursing programs for the best training. Given a brief hospital internship or prior work experience, you can expect a great return on your education. If you attend the health fair, for example, there are a variety of concentrations that may appeal to you, such as EMT training, the nursing tech program, or occupational rehabilitation. Check with the nursing department for an updated schedule of classes, registration deadlines, and a list of health fair requirements. Due to advances in medical systems, there is a growing skill-shortage of trained nurses, and of medical personnel in general. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Saint Peters College.
Healthcare jobs such as Registered Nurses, LPN's, LVN's and related Vocational Technicians provide over 15 million jobs in the United States alone. As shown at a recent health fair, many jobs in healthcare require less than 4 years of college education, such as health technologists and technicians, electronic medical records specialists, diagnostic medical sonographers, radiologic technicians, and dental hygienists. The American Hospital Association is the national organization that represents and serves all types of hospitals, health care networks, and their patients and communities.
The outlook for medical careers is especially bright. Opportunities for employment for medical laboratory technicians are expected to increase by 10% to 20% in the next eight years. The increasing number of elderly people is seen as a factor in this growth. As people age they have more medical problems, and hospitals will require more laboratory technicians to perform lab work for them. Aside from a good salary, most health fair personnel receive comprehensive medical and dental benefits, as well as retirement plans.

Holly madison dating cris angel
In the past, Criss Angel has been secretive about his personal life.He didn't publicly admit to being married to Benson, or even having a son, until his little boy was diagnosed with cancer in 2015.Years in the spotlight haven't been very kind to the often-naked model.
According to , Angel and Benson divorced in October 2015 after a one-year marriage.The former Playboy Bunny and freaky magician are no longer an item. The Playboy founder's ex-girlfriend has gone public with new squeeze Criss Angel.An actor who's brought magic to the screen and a guy who's brought it to Vegas showrooms and many women's pants both celebrate their days of birth today. Holly Madison was spotted with her man at LAX Nightclub in Las Vegas Saturday night, looking almost as old as her former lover.While a good portion of her new tell-all, "Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny," is all about her volatile relationship with the Playboy head honcho, she also devotes a few chapters to her troubled history with magician Criss Angel.In the book, Holly says she met the Las Vegas magician while she was still living in the mansion -- but insists the two only flirted, saying nothing happened between them until after she split from Hef.

I prefer during the week to not be awake after midnight. However, the last several nights, I've had some sleep issues. This is due to a number of factors; stress, writing late at night, and needing a new pillow are just a few of them.
What I have discovered is that after midnight, certain cable channels become a haven for adult oriented commercials. My SO has been falling asleep watching Duck Dynasty. I'm not a Duck Dynasty fan, preferring something a little more… I don't know, something very different. I can't actually turn the TV off when I come to bed or he wakes up and then he grumbles for an hour or two because he is awake. So I switch channels, usually there's an episode of Cops or World's Dumbest… on somewhere. The past couple of nights, it's been Cops: Reloaded a quasi-"best of" for the long running show.
I will admit, I watched a full half hour episode last night before putting on my sleeping mask and rolling over. My brain was still in writer mode and needed to work itself down some (I still dreamed of Danny Trejo naked, which did not make for very good dreams, he's a good actor, but I have no desire to see the man naked).
It turns out that after midnight, the commercials get a little more interesting on the station I was watching. Who knew there were still phone sex lines? Who knew the adult retailer Adam & Eve had commercials? Two commercials on each break were adult oriented. I get it, the Cops fan base tends to be male and I have no objections to scantily clad women running around on my TV. It could be worse.
This is more about shock than anything else. With the advent of internet porn, video-on-demand, Cinemax's softcore porn after dark, and reality shows about sex, the very idea that adverts for sex run on basic cable after dark kind of blows my mind. Especially for phone sex… I thought those call centers had gone the way of the Dodo. Guess that's what I get for thinking…

Devon council briefs
Emily Jansen
DEXA update
Town council met with members of the Devon Days Exhibition Association at the regular meeting on Monday, Dec. 11.
DEXA President Jo-Ann Stuparyk and Jen Phillip met with council to answer questions regarding DEXA's grant application for the 2018 Operational Budget.
In an effort to keep the Devon Days event flourishing this year, the annual beer fest will be replaced with a music fest in order to bring in more revenue and rejuvenuate interest in the event. Ticket sales for the beer fest, Stuparyk and Phillip said, have been declining in recent years. The suggested location for a Devon Days music fest would be on the Saturday evening in Voyageur Park, with the Dale Fisher arena acting as a back-up location in case of bad weather.
Councillors agreed that expanding the Devon Days event and including new activities would be beneficial. However, several councillors expressed concern over hosting an event that would be serving alcohol in Voyageur Park due to the proximity of the river. The cost of bussing residents to and from the event in order to appease parking issues would also be a problem.
Council thanked DEXA for appearing to answer their questions and committed to meeting again soon to work out details.
2018 Operating Budget
Council unanimously approved the 2018 Operating Budget, amended to include the resolutions of council made at the budget meeting held on Dec. 2 and 3, including a resulting tax increase of 1.59 per cent, rather than the proposed 2.28 per cent.
The final impact on the 2018 taxation year will be reviewed by council prior to the approval of the 2018 tax rate bylaw.
Council also approved the transfer of $13,500 from the community reserve to the operating budget in order to fund the cost of traffic sign replacements in the town.
Lastly, council approved a transfer of $1,500 from the community reserve to fund a grant request from the Devon Historical Society.
Compensation Review for town staff and members of council
Council approved the terms of reference for both members of council and members of town staff as part of a compensation review. As per council policy, a review of compensation for town staff is conducted every three years. Council had also committed to an Elected Officials Compensation review following enquiries from residents during the election in October.
Administration will begin their compensation review in the first quarter of 2018.
Ravines South Subdivision Extension
Members of council unanimously approved a subdivision application for South Ravines Stage 1 for one year. The extension was requested due to the slowing effects on development due to the current economy. Councillor Stacey May remarked that she is in favour of an extension since there are clear signs of continued development in the area despite of the current economic situation. Mayor Ralph agreed and council voted to approve the extension.
