Some genuine weightloss tips can go a long way in helping you deal with obesity problems. However, mass reduction guidelines for obesity should be practiced only after consulting a physician. It is very important to make a plan with a dietitian to determine the weight that has to be lost and the time period in which the goal can be achieved. The weight loss program should ideally include a healthy planned diet and a regular exercise regime.
A disciplined simple diet with physical exercise can lead to fast weight loss. The weight loss tips outlined below help people to start their healthy weightloss program.

Weight Loss Tips
o Eating small and frequent meals is a very common and helpful weight loss tip. Typically, eating often would increase the rate of metabolism and keep hunger pangs at bay; at the same time providing increased energy.
o Eat lots of greens and veggies. Try to snack on them rather than reaching out for those fried chips or sugary bars. Processed foods are always high in calories and hence replacing them with fresh veggies and fruits would do wonders for your weight and skin. There are other health benefits like low blood pressure, lower risk of heart diseases and cancer, fewer digestive problems etc once you change your eating habits to include fresh and fiber rich food.
o Lemon juice can help you feel full throughout the day. Research has proved that two glassful of lemon juice can get you through the entire day. This is obviously an extreme measure but consuming a glass full of lemon juice half an hour prior to lunch or any meal definitely reduces appetite to a great extent.
o Water is another component that can help in weight loss. Water regulates body temperature and is mandatory for the normal functioning of the processes in our body. Drinking water aids in losing weight and reduces hunger pangs.
o Those on a weight loss diet should ideally have a good breakfast so that they are not hungry in between meals. Lunch should be substantial and dinner meager. Try this tip!
o The best way to keep the fat away is to increase the metabolism rate of the body. This can be done only through physical exercise. Working out burns fat and if done regularly keeps fat away. Joining a weight loss program would definitely help you become slimmer.
o Walking is a very good form of exercise and is very simple too. It can be done anywhere, at will. Walking has many health benefits and is recommended by doctors too. Walking about half an hour every day burns almost 250 calories.
It is important to approach weightloss with optimism. Dedication and determination is necessary to be successful. The entire episode would take time and only regular practice and patience will help to adhere to diet and exercise. Remember, if you follow the weight loss tips given to you by a professional you can certainly overcome obesity.

Just a bit of expansion on the Tinfoil Hat/Growth thing from the other day.
For companies, "growth" means that next year's profits must be
bigger than this year's profits. This imperative drives all manner of commercial
perversions, for instance, planned obsolescence. Also shoddiness.
Many Asian manufactured items are little more than pretend replicas.
They consume energy and materials to create items that look real but
are not fit for purpose. We are provided with screws whose heads give way as soon as any
torque is applied to them. Cutting tools that cannot take and hold
an edge.
British manufacturing would do well to look at producing durable if
expensive quality gear that can be repaired instead of disposed of
once wear has taken its toll.
Greens often rage against consumption. We must remember that consumption ranges from the necessary to the frivolous. As a doctor
I can state with absolute confidence that consumption of food and
water is vital for human life. Warm (but not overly warm) homes are
also vital to life. All of these things require consumption. We cannot do
without consumption.
After these life fundamentals, we need a variety of tools
and instruments (in the widest sense, to include things such as
transportation). Some tools are needed in order to support the vital
primary level of function (Water, food, warmth, shelter and waste
management) and some tools are in fact toys to play with - such as
musical instruments. Play is a vital part of humanity. We do need
some of these, but at a reasonable level, not the tsunami of
perishable goods ("stuff") that industry is throwing at us.
There is such a thing as natural greed
and competitiveness, but many millions are spent each year on
advertising to whip this human weakness up into a lather of desire. This advertising money is not committed by the advertisers just for fun. It is a
serious propaganda effort to bend our minds to consuming the item
advertised. It is good that we have policy to reduce advertising.
Now why is there a need for growth? Part of it, planned
obsolescence, is easy to understand. My sister has a functioning,
absolutely silent refrigerator that was built in the 1930s. I think
it may be an "Einstein" fridge. If consumer goods were made to last
like that, the market would become saturated, and manufacturers would drive themselves out of business. So things are designed to
need replacement.
But why does the market have to grow? Hoogendijk (Willem Hoogendijk, "The Economic Revolution", Green Print/Jan van Arkel, London/Utrecht 1991) finds one answer
in the creation of money through debt.
Hoogendijk says: Imagine two companies A and B, supplying the market
with widgets. They are in balanced competition, each having half of
the market. Now A takes out a loan, buys some machinery that drives
his productivity up. He lays off workers, and soon has 75% of the
market. B is therefore obliged to take out a loan to buy machinery
and lay off workers. A and B are in balance again - but now they
each have to service a debt, to pay interest. They are therefore
obliged to expand into other markets. Debt interest obliges them to
I would not like to say that debt interest is the only driver of
growth, but it is a significant driver of economic growth, and it is
good that Green Party policy does at last acknowledge this fact.
There are many other aspects to be considered, because economics is
a system, and systems are neccessarily multifactorial. As humans we
tend always to oversimplify, but at the same time, it is necessary
to hold on to those things that are certain.
Therefore I would like to reassert
these certainties:
1) Throughput of carbon and materials is the No 1 economic problem
that we face.
2) Growth of this system is the second problem, the icing on the
cake as it were
3) In making the transition to a zero-throughput, cyclical economy
that is structured as if people matter, we can promise something
near full employment, and, paradoxically, marked economic growth of the green sector of the economy.
4) Full employment helps to reduces inequality, (since the gap in
money and self-esteem between workers and unemployed disappears). This improves all manner of social problems.
5) Other measures (taxation of the super-rich) will further bring us
towards more equitable distribution of wealth, and that means a
happier and more healthy society.
6) One possible, immediately practicable method of stimulating the green sector of the economy is the Green Wage Subsidy.

Gary N. Knoppers
In the first volume of his extensive study, A History of the Jews and Judaism in the Second Temple Period, Grabbe comments that a number of peculiar problems confront the would-be historian in attempting to write about the Persian period. Among these are the survival of few primary (contemporary) documents, the types of extant written sources, large gaps in the available sources, and the fact that most narrative descriptions written about this era in antiquity are late works in Greek or Latin, presenting events from a Hellenic or Roman perspective. When he later turns to discussing the history of one of
Judah's neighbors, , during the Achaemenid era, Grabbe describes our present knowledge as "skimpy." One might add that scholarly reconstructions have been hampered by an over-reliance on late Judean biblical texts, most of which are polemical in tone, and the testimony of Josephus. Happily, as Grabbe himself notes, recent discoveries have begun to change this picture. The publication of the Samaria papyri and seal impressions, the publication and analysis of hundreds of Samarian coins, and the partial publication of the Mt. Gerizim excavations have enhanced our knowledge and complicated older reconstructions of the religious history of the region of Samaria during the Achaemenid and Hellenistic eras. Samaria

Watch out, London's pavements are exploding
Panic on the streets of London! Westminster Council yesterday released a CCTV video of a a massive fireball exploding out of a pavement in Piccadilly in July. We've written about London's exploding pavements before, but they're back in the news this week because Westminster is asking Ofgem (the power regulator) and the UK Power Networks operator why exactly there are on average almost two terrifying pavement explosions every single week. Which seems like a fair question to us.
The answer is – drum roll, please… rain. Apparently, rainwater has got down into the electricity pipes underground and short-circuited faulty wiring which has made gas explode. No-one could have seen that one coming, right? It's not as if it rains that often in London.
Anyway, so far at least seven people have been injured by the terrifying paving stones of death. UK Power Networks has said they'll try to stop the explosions happening quite so often by pouring sand into manholes, but they've also said they can't guarantee that there won't still be enormous fireballs randomly spurting out of the ground. Which is comforting.
So what are the odds on you being hit by a massive, unpredictable explosion on your way down the shops? Well, there have been 64 incidents this year so far, around four times the number there were four years ago. With a population of eight million, that does make it pretty unlikely that it'll happen to you – but just to be on the safe side, we advise that you lock all your doors and never go outside ever again. Have a great week.

The law relevant to covenants has been described as a "blundering conceptualist jungle full of semantic swamps" which this chapter will attempt as far as possible to avoid. Covenants have always occupied an uncomfortable space in Australia based upon the limited ability to register these interests under the relevant Torrens title statutes. Covenants have been accommodated in many jurisdictions by permitting the notification of covenants. This situation has most likely resulted from the fact that the Torrens system was first developed at a time when the concept of covenants began to take shape after the impetus provided by Tulk v Moxhay in 1848. This has resulted in varied responses from different jurisdictions but generally these provisions have not adequately dealt with the difficulties that arise in the application of covenants under the Torrens system. These problems have in Queensland recently been made worse by the intrusion of concepts relevant to sustainable housing in relation to covenants which has not only cast further doubt on the already doubtful role of covenants in Queensland but has raised the level of complexity applying to these interests.

Let me tell you about my summer. Imagine it as a restaurant, and me planning to come in, sit down, relax and have some soup, maybe stare at the fishes bubbling in a huge neglected fish tank or drift away from the tablecloth's hypnotic pattern into the cheesy world of the bald piano player. No! Not La Vie En Rose again! That was the plan. But instead, I stepped into the restaurant, fell on my face, passed out and woke up with two semi-naked snake dancers dragging me by the arms into the kitchen where Brad Pitt waited for me with a huge sausage in his hand. The rest is history. And all I wanted was soup.
So yes, as you can see, I had a rock 'n' roll summer, real superstar business, so much it irritates all, including me. Noooooo, can you go to ALL main festivals, make a fool of yourself on stage for money and fun and then go back to your hotel while everyone has to sleep in tents on a muddy steep hill? It was so hard to sleep, alone in a hotel room, wondering if my mates slept with their heads pointing up or down. Just curious.
I managed to sleep every night only after creating this whole HD scene in my head where everybody slept with their heads up or down but the one lonely hot guy in the village who stayed awake, lying down vertically, across the steep hill, elegant, reading French philosophy. This man doesn't exist, I hear you say. They are all drunk or unconscious, sleeping in all directions. I think you're right.
But if they were all real, they would be listening to Bernard Fevre.

- 1 pound fusilli pasta
- 1 butternut squash
- 1/2 small onion
- 3/4 cup walnuts
- 3/4 cup fresh basil
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup parma raw parmesan
first peel and cube the butternut squash. place on a foil-lined baking and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, making sure each piece is coated. please in an oven at 425°f for 40 minutes. while the squash is baking, slice your onion and drizzle with olive oil on another foil-lined sheet. place in the oven for 25 minutes (with about half of the squash time left). honestly, i'm not a huge fan of onions, but they work well in this dish. ours got a little burnt, but i actually really liked the crispy flavor, so cook the onion to your preference.
while both of these are roasting, prepare the rest of the ingredients. cook pasta according to directions. chop walnuts and place on a baking sheet - these will need to roast in the oven at 425°f for about 5-6 minutes. wash and chop the basil.
when the pasta is done boiling, combine all the ingredients in one bowl and toss. i used some of the olive oil from the butternut squash pan to coat the pasta. finally toss in the parma, or your favourite vegan parmesan, and serve!

From Traditional Inpatient to Trauma-Informed Treatment: Transferring Control From Staff to PatientJournal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association (2008)
AbstractMental health professionals worldwide realize the imperative for reducing inpatient restraints and seclusion. The high incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder for inpatients and the resulting symptoms support the creation of a trauma-informed approach. The objective of the current article is to describe the experience of staff in a 20-bed unit transitioning from traditional inpatient care to a trauma-informed approach. The study comprised a qualitative design using content analysis (n = 10). The patterns clustered into the following categories: changing perspective, developing collaborative relationships, implementing safety measures, and prescribing educational resources. Staff underwent a deep cultural change that subsequently won state recognition for the reduction of seclusion and restraints.
- seclusion and restraint; hospitalizationl; inpatient treatment; milieu therapy; psychoeducation posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Britain Will Pay Over £2 Million for Gordon Brown's Bogus Red Line on EU Charter
Of the total forecasted £96.5 billion EU budget for 2008 – for which British households are due to fork out an annual contribution of £10.7 billion – voters have been kept in the dark over how much of their contribution will be channelled towards obligations associated with the Charter of Fundamental Rights, a Charter which has already been signed along with the Lisbon Treaty. The European Foundation has discovered that since Britain has no exemption from the Charter – as the UK Parliament's European Scrutiny Committee has ruled, contrary to David Miliband's claims – there will be no opt-out from at least £2 million of its costs.
The European Foundation has uncovered a significant portion of the EU budget forecast for 2008, relating to the Charter, which will contribute massively towards the UK payment from 2008 onwards. Throughout late 2007, David Miliband promised that Britain would be exempt from the Charter rights as set out under the Charter of Fundamental Rights, but this will leave the British people wondering why it is them who will be paying for the enhancement of existing fundamental rights projects which their own Government claimed they have not participated in.
The forecast for the UK contribution towards the enhancement of existing fundamental rights projects – noting that Gordon Brown and David Miliband promised Britain that an exemption from the rights Charter would create no new rights – will include:
· £1,019,294 on the promotion of "fundamental rights" of EU citizens;
· £706,680 to cover the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (which formerly went under another name) staff and administration, and;
· £420,068 to cover operational costs of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights projects, which will promote the disturbing "development of a European society based on respect for fundamental rights." (see Appendix 1)
Of course, this does no justice to what will happen under the actual application of the Charter, which will bring the British judiciary further under the control of the European Court of Justice (with its own total forecasted expenditure of £217 million), administering European law for British courts. It is certain that Britain will pay over £2 million directly for Gordon Brown's bogus red line on the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Britain's commitment to this EU money will bring with it substantial economic and social damage and the closures and failures of business as a result of the application of the Charter rights across the UK, under the mismanagement and jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. This is entirely unacceptable.

Developers often complain about working on legacy code base. "Green field" development, i.e. writing brand-new systems where no code existed before, is relatively rare. Most software development work happens in the midst of the pre-existing and often relatively old coding.
Why is so much work being done on legacy projects? If people prefer to work on new code, and people in software development industry often get what they want – why isn't there more of brand-new software projects? After all, software developers nowadays get shiny offices with nap pods and gourmet catering, free laundry services and massages on-site.
It is well-documented that most of tech startups fail. Most ideas do not lead to sufficient ROI and good business value. A lot of software projects get done [to some degree] and then thrown away, because they did not turn out to be viable enough to keep investing in.
So what is left is a select few projects that turned out to be spectacular successes: profitable enough to keep using and getting business value from for a good long time. Organizations choose to continue to invest in these projects because older systems offer continuous income and a well-known ROI based on past history. While these projects are relatively rare, they tend to be large: small projects grow over time, and over 80% of investment in a software system happens after the project is declared done and enters maintenance mode.
Most of the non-startup development happens on the large, hairy, hugely successful projects with boring names and scrappy old interfaces. The code can be old, but the system is brilliant – it survived the competition with all other competing projects in its business space. This is where the ROI and the business value are.
The offices may be getting nicer and brighter, but we are likely to continue working on in the deep-brown for the foreseeable future.

"City Trades Its Yankee Stadium Suite for Cash" NY Times 1/6/9
City Trades Its Yankee Stadium Suite for Cash
Uli Seit for The New York Times
Published: January 6, 2009
After intense criticism, the Bloomberg administration has given up a perk it worked fervently to secure: a free luxury suite at the new Yankee Stadium.
Skip to next paragraph
Times Topics: Yankee Stadium
The city will relinquish use of the 12-seat box in exchange for whatever revenue the Yankees generate by selling the seats, minus the cost of marketing them. Although neither the city nor the Yankees have publicly disclosed the market value of the suite, similar suites at the new stadium are being sold for as much as $600,000 a year.
The city's acquisition of the Yankees suite had drawn scrutiny, especially after e-mail messages surfaced in November showing that aides to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg had zealously pursued the luxury box, as well as free food and access to post-season games.
Representative Anthony D. Weiner, a Queens Democrat who publicly demanded that the city give up the suite, said, "This is something that they never should have negotiated in the first place."
"And," he added, "it was only after the public found out about it that they did the right thing."
The e-mail messages revealed that after the Yankees made concessions over the size of the suite and the food, the team received an additional 250 parking spaces, as well as the rights to three new billboards along the Major Deegan Expressway and whatever revenue they generate.
The messages contrasted with earlier public statements from Seth W. Pinsky, president of the city's Economic Development Corporation, that the suite was not a big issue and that the city had received it simply as a matter of course. One message said that the acquisition of a suite in the Mets stadium was "a big issue to the mayor."
Under the new arrangement with the city, the Yankees will be allowed to keep the parking spaces and use of the billboards, and the city will be guaranteed at least $100,000 for each baseball season, even if no one buys the suite. The deal was formalized last month in a letter from Mr. Pinsky to the Yankees president, Randy Levine, that was made public on Tuesday. A similar arrangement is being negotiated with the Mets, which also gave the city free use of a suite in its new ballpark, Citi Field.
Aspects of the stadium negotiations slowly came to light as state and federal lawmakers began raising questions about the deals.
The letter from Mr. Pinsky to Mr. Levine said that the main motivation for the agreement was the term limits extension approved by the City Council, which could allow Mr. Bloomberg to remain in office "for several seasons."
It had not been clear who was to have access to the luxury suites at the two stadiums, or whether the names of the people who used them would be recorded.
The e-mail messages showed that, after inquiries from a reporter, Bloomberg aides said they would use the perk to reward outstanding employees, but that idea had not been mentioned in the aides' earlier correspondence.
Assemblyman Richard L. Brodsky, who had sought details about the deals the city was making, described the city's about-face over its use of the suites as "a terrible embarrassment."
"The taxpayers who are paying for the construction of Yankee Stadium cannot afford to buy tickets for the games, but the mayor was getting a luxury box, so he had to back off," he said in an interview on Tuesday.
"But the reason he backed off," Mr. Brodsky speculated, "is because next week, the city is going to give the Yankees more taxpayer money."
On Jan. 15, the Industrial Development Agency will hold a hearing over a recent request by the Yankees and the Mets for about $400 million in municipal bonds and other money to pay for the final construction stages at their stadiums. In 2006, both teams received about $1.5 billion in bonds and subsidies to help them build the ball parks.
"Does the Bloomberg administration really think that giving up a suite at Yankee Stadium is going to soften the blow that this project has had on city taxpayers?" said Bettina Damiani, director of Good Jobs New York, a civic organization that has closely scrutinized projects subsidized by the city, including the new baseball stadiums.
Andrew Brent, a spokesman for the mayor, said, "Other cities get boxes and through our negotiations we made sure New York got no less, but we've decided to take the value in cash payments to return it to the community."
The city did not have a suite at the original Yankee Stadium. It had one at Shea Stadium and at the ballparks for the minor-league Brooklyn Cyclones and Staten Island Yankees. The new stadiums are scheduled to open in April. As part of the deal struck by the Bloomberg administrations, future mayors can choose to use the seats in the suite or continue to receive money for their use.

On top of that I aim to attack any new shoots that appear with gusto even if it means a year without fruit the following year.
I intend to cut all new shoots from the clumps above. There is another clump of root behind the shed that has been cut down completely. The idea is that I will allow a few new shoots to grow from that next year and so the clumps will in theory fruit in alternate years and also be more controllable. That's the theory and may not be the actual reality. So far it has been null point to me but one year I will triumph.
At least the wildlife loves it especially the bees.

Today is Bean's 2nd Birthday! It's hard to believe but she is two. I tried to hold her today like I used to hold her when she was a baby. That lasted for about 2 minutes.
Here are some pictures of Bean and her two favorite things in the world, her nannies!
Happy Birthday to my favorite thing in the world! Mommy and Daddy love you very much.

Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer has been a weekly public service "short subject" for some twenty years, though I just discovered it myself on the web. This tiny show specializes in naked eye astronomy, focusing each week on some notable sky event, such as Jupiter being visible just above the Moon in the southwest an hour after sunset on August 1 (the video shows easy to follow diagrams and instructions on what to look for and where). Some TV stations play the five minute version just before they go off the air at night (not a very convenient time for most of us), but now you can view the last 12 month's worth of videos (both one minute and five minute versions) on the web here, using RealPlayer. There's also a video podcast version - take the lesson right to the back yard on your iPod!
Jack also has a some astronomy cartoons on line! Astronomy cartoons? How cool is that? (My daughter now has even more proof that I am a goober.) The picture above links to one from March 2006, "the rival of Mars and how the scorpion lost its claws." The web site has a useful FAQ that tells other ways to get access to the show, especially for teachers. Note that since Jack is based in Florida, he talks about northern hemisphere constellations and events - sorry southern hemispherians.

So say Max Schuchard at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and his colleagues, the masterminds who have created the digital ordnance. But thankfully they have no intention of destroying the net just yet. Instead, they are suggesting improvements to its defences.

Alpha's Heir by A.J. Tipton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I liked this book, it had my full attention! I liked how Orson liked Casey and didn't judge for size (being a big girl) he looked past that. I'm a slim girl and when someone likes you for you that's a plus.

Because of the blog title...
Jamie thinks I should show a little more of Wales.
Although it's not Wrexham (centre of the earth according to Charlie), it's an amazing day out at Greenmeadow Community Farm in Cwmbran. In case you're wondering…it's a newish town about twenty minutes from Cardiff (capital city of Wales).
In the field across from the car park was a Rhea- the long-necked lovely is sometimes called the South American ostrich.
While the more familiar fowl made the most of the glorious weather in a manmade pond
As we were here to celebrate our granddaughter's 4th birthday party, adults and children were admitted free. We ambled through a courtyard, past wooden picnic benches and a white gazebo lined with vibrant pots of paint- to a room festooned with "Happy Birthday" posters.
Fairy lights twinkled in the disco room, and pint-sized guests got the chance to strut their stuff
Pass- the -hat was a bit of a giggle, for they all wanted to wear the black, plastic hat.
'I wouldn't mind, but that's my hat!'
Then there was a stuggle with an unbreakable Pinta.
Before sitting down to scrummy Farmer Fred meals.
When you stop to think about it, factories would have spread like a virus across these vital green spaces -if plucky local people- hadn't fought to secure the land.
In the stables, where school learning materials are kept, youngsters got to milk a life-size demo cow!
But it was the goats-
inexhaustible appitites -that attracted most of the attention.
"Never mind that up close and personal palaver … where's our grub?"
The piglets were also quite endearing
'Shouldn't the goat be the one behind bars?'
'Nah, this side is much more fun.'
The farm had thought of everything to keep them amused – they even had a sheep shearing demonstations.
'Okay, okay, a haircut it is!'
'Now that tickles.'
'Are you sure it's a grade 3?'
'Apparently, it takes just one fleece to make a woollen jumper.'
"When asked if we could turn that woollen mountain into a zillions of Shreddies.'
'We said, never in a month of Sundays!
"Rumbling around the farm on the tractor and trailer was part of the fun. On the other side of the tunnel, was a large adventure playground which looked perfect to soak up the area's atmosphere. As part of the educational talk, provided by the driver- we learned that the food growing in the scarecrow- protected allotment was to serve the cosy little café at the farm.
The discovery of the bread ovens in the early 90s, led to the creation of the Alexander Cordell restaurant. In keeping with the times, the farm decided to cater for schools and young children.
Interestingly, a stone above the café's hearth bears the initials of first farm owners Edward & Anne Jones. In those days, they used I instead of J, making their surname Iones.
Speaking of horses...and donkeys off course, they've come a hell of a long way since the farm belonged to the Adit colliery.
Because the colliery was important to the area, the 18th century farmstead was the only house with electricity for many a year.
By now we were growing to love the farm creatures- especially the calf that captivated hearts- with constant cries for his mother
Rex really was out of this world!
The water -squirting dragon- with red flashing eyes- originated from the Ebbw Garden Festival Wales.

She is soo cute!! Great job mixing all the DP. Your day sounds like my day, I'm taking Angelisa to school and she is rubbing her eyes, she rips her contact (these were her last pair) have to go back home to get her glasses and she starts complaining that she "needs her contacts" she has a basketball game after school. So, I go to buy her 2 boxes (of course , she has to have different prescription on each eye, sheesh) and they won't sell me them!!! Her prescription had expired she needs to go in for a check up. Our insurance only covers every other year so, I'm gonna have to cough up about $500 this year for new glasses and contact, cuz of course they charge for eye exam and for contact exam (how s***** is that). I had to make an appointment for her so they could give me a pair for her. So, how's that! I think my day sucked more than yours lol. Anyways, I'm glad you posted today cuz it brighten my day a bit. Thanks for that!!!ReplyDelete
Wow, I love this card, great colors, DP is beautiful, and that image wow she is so cute she reminds me of my Bethany!! Thanks for posting today. I guess having a bad day was in the air, mine was terrible too but I'm lucky all my bad was at work, so when I left work I left it all there with the hags!!! :o)ReplyDelete
Don't you just love those days? glad you had some time to play though. You do such a great job with these Mojo Monday sketches! I love the flowers.ReplyDelete
Hi Girl!ReplyDelete

You card is super cute. Great job on the sketch.

Questioning your Characters
It goes without saying that short stories revolve around the characters. Paul on Sunday reflected how our main characters are drawn from the writers psyche. He left us wondering how they would react or answer if posed situations or questions from the writers actual life. This is a valuable tool for fleshing out a lack luster storyline or flat character; for more often than not, it is not the story or the characters fault the words on the page do not tell a compelling tale, but more that the writer has not asked the right questions.
It is generally accepted that a short story will accommodate up to three characters. If your story needs any more to get the message across, then it is either destined to be a longer, more involved piece of prose and likely not suited to flash fiction, or your characters need to be pulled into line and the superfluous ones told to sit on the bench for this one. Question each character demanding their justification in keeping them in the text. Why are you in this story? What is your outcome for the end of the story? How do you relate to the other characters and how does this assist the storyline?
A character can either be a living (or undead depending on your definition) being or in some cases can be an environment or weather phenomenon. The protagonist needs to move through the setting and be faced by its opposing force as its part of what makes both the story and your character come alive. Is your character passive or active when it comes to the conflicts they encounter? If someone confronts them, do they change the subject, stalk off, or do a deep-breathing exercise? When someone insults them are they likely to fly off the handle, just take it and say nothing or give as good as they got?
Character and settings often reflect one another ; this technique working well to give a story a more rounded or polished presentation, allowing your to show not tell your story in a deeper manner. If your character is in a bad mood, they will see things that reflect that mood as they are walking down the street – the overflowing and reeking rubbish bins, the snarling dogs, the overpriced products on display within the shops, the miserable rain or biting wind, the colourless visage of the buildings. A character in a good mood will focus on other things – the lovers in the park ignoring the rain, the brightly coloured flower pots, the rainbow effect the multitude of umbrellas have in a crowd, the warmth oozing from each lit shop they pass, the clean smell rain brings to the usually smoggy city, the smiles on peoples faces as they walk past. Does your character like the rain? Why / why not?
Too often characters just seem to sit here unmoving throughout the narrative and this can be largely due to their own boredom or lack of challenge within the storyline. Push your characters into showing you more than the veneer of what they outwardly look like or the surface emotions they are displaying. A few weeks ago, Jodi spoke about mannerisms and how they can add depth and texture to a character.
Ask more unconventional questions to deepen your understanding of their motivators, inner secrets and habits.
- What is in your fridge right now?
- What poster or picture is hanging on your toilet door? Why?
- Whats on the bedroom floor? Why?
- What book are you reading? Why?
- Whats in your rubbish bin this week? Why?
No matter how you get the blood on the page, your first editing phase must include you submitting your characters to questions to fill out the missing zest your story needs. The answers they give to the questions you ask will provide a solid start in building believable characters. Remember, you don't need to divulge all your characters secrets or inner workings to the readers…. at least not immediately!
For further reading check out Gotham Writers as they have a comprehensive downloadable document suggesting questions an author might ask their characters.

Great post.
I sense a kind of theme with the recent posts because they all kind of link together, they're making me think and proof is in the recent writing-related blog posts on my blog.
Now just need to find time to put pen to paper.

Yakitori Tori Shin: Stickin' with Chicken
With all due respect to vegetarians, but there's something irresistible about meat cooked over an open flame. That smokey perfume that wafts from the flames, the "crackles" and "pops" from the meat as it cooks, makes the act of grilling a complete sensory experience. But despite the fact that Americans pride themselves as being the undisputed kings of charcoal, to me, its the Japanese who have truly perfected this form of cooking. Rest assured, this is nothing like your typical backyard barbecue where the finished product ends up tasting like nothing but lighter fluid. No, using only organic chicken and importing their charcoal directly from Japan, yakitori, or "grilled chicken," is something the Japanese have down to a science. Fortunately, for New Yorkers at least, there are several respectable yakitori restaurants more than capable of satisfying your craving. So after having enjoyed Yakitori Totto, it was finally time to pay a visit to yet another master yakitoriya, chef and owner Shu Ikeda, of Yakatori Tori Shin.
Nestled between the crowded storefronts of 1st Avenue on the Upper East Side, MW and I were greeted by the intoxicating aroma of grilled meat and the raucous laughter of drunk salarymen as we opened the door to Tori Shin and pushed past its curtain. Whereas some believe Tori Shin's menu is limited compared to Totto, others (myself included) see it more as an affirmation of Chef Ikeda's dedication to all things chicken. Moreover, there is perhaps no better example of this homage of the "bird" than either of the restaurant's two omakase menus (required before 9 pm). Both menus utilize all parts of the animal, including offal such as hearts, gizzards and liver in addition to the standard breast, wing and thigh. Greeted by the hostess, we asked to be seated at the U-shaped bar, allowing us to watch Chef Ikeda himself prepare our meal-- dinner and a show indeed. Seated and settled, it was as if we were transported back to Tokyo, and just like in Japan, we started with a pitcher of Sapporo Beer.
After consulting with our server, we chose the Chef's Omakase, allowing for the full Tori Shin experience. Our meal began with Pickled Daikon Radish and Japanese Cucumbers. The vegetables weren't overly pickled and still contained a pleasant snap to them, whetting our appetites as we watched and smelled cooking food.
With more savory food approaching, our server then gave us each a small bowl of Grated Daikon with a hint of Soy Sauce to act as a palate cleanser.
Next on the menu was a seasonal dish, Stewed Daikon Radish with Chicken Wings. Similar in many ways to a Cantonese daikon preparation, the radish absorbed all the flavors of the cooking liquid, transforming this simple vegetable into something much greater. The chicken wing was tender and moist, just not how I prefer my chicken wings.
Our "amuse bouche" for the evening, consisted of what Chef Ikeda described as, "Buffalo" Chicken Wings. Though I appreciated Chef Ikeda's playful rendition of this popular bar snack, being from Western, New York, I didn't have the heart to tell him to his face, that no matter how he tried to spin it, this was NO buffalo wing. Semantics aside, the wings were delicious. Lightly fried, and coated with a sweet sesame sauce, I could easily imagine myself tucking into a dozen or so of these at my favorite izakaya back in Tokyo.
The salad course contained a combination of Kombu and Japanese Radish with a Miso-Vinegar Dressing. Although the vegetables were good, I found the dressing a bit too sweet and was began growing restless for some grilled meat.
The first skewers to arrive were Chicken Livers. I like chicken liver...but prefer it either puréed with lots of schmaltz or deep fried. Here, the livers were cooked just a moment too long, and tasted a bit dry, the least successful dish of the meal.
Next up, the Chicken Roast. Described as a tender part of meat, located behind the leg, Chef Ikeda informed us that this was a delicacy that is reserved exclusively for the omakase menus. Delicacy or not, while the roast was moist and tender, it lacked flavor and was far from my favorite skewer.
Fortunately, the Chicken Rib was more to my liking. A bit chewier, it contained much more flavor and unlike the delicate roast, the chef need not worry that the smokiness from the grill would overwhelm the meat.
Similarly, the Dark Breast Meat combined the rich flavor of the rib, with the tenderness of the roast, resulting in one of the best skewers.
Grilled Chicken Gizzards are one of my favorite parts of the bird, and these were no exception. Lightly grilled, but well seasoned, I reveled in the slightly crunchy texture of the gizzards.
The Chicken Hearts were texturally similar to the gizzards, still moist and wonderfully crunchy, and though I'm sure this texture may not suit all American sensibilities, I absolutely love how these two dishes reminded me of deep fried chicken cartilage, my favorite izakaya dish.
At this point of the meal we were served some grilled Shisito Peppers, a nice break from the meat-fest we were enjoying. The peppers were beautifully blistered, with black exteriors. Served with only a pinch of salt, the sweetness of the peppers really came through.
After the short vegetable detour, our meal resumed with more meat. The Chicken Wing arrived expertly de-boned with a crisp skin. The meat was moist and very good, but left me wishing we had a lemon or some other form of acid to help cut all the fat.
Next, I requested a skewer of Chicken Skin, always a gluttonous treat. Coming from the neck, the caramelized bits of skin added a good bit of texture to this particularly unctuous skewer, but would have benefited from some lemon.
Our second vegetable was grilled Okra, imported from Japan. Normally, unimpressed with its slimy and mushy texture, this okra was neither slimy nor mushy and was some of the best I've ever had. Covered with a sprinkling of bonito flakes, which further upped the smokey quotient, I found both of the vegetable courses to be equally as satisfying as any of the meats, considering the much needed respite from all the chicken.
The only non-chicken skewer we ordered was Pork Belly served with a Garlic Miso and Lemon. Finally, some lemon! The Pork Belly had the perfect ratio of chewy meat to luscious fat, which the acid from the lemon cut beautifully, and was so good that we immediately ordered another round.
The last skewer we ordered was the special (aka large) Chicken Meat Ball that was served with a Raw Egg. More oblong-shaped than the more common sphere, the meat ball was incredibly flavorful and juicy, so much so, that liquid leaked out after the initial bite. Mixed with a touch of soy sauce, the raw egg provided even more umami flavor.
But the real coup de grâce was our last course. Having our choice between four rice dishes, we both selected the Special Oyakodon which featured: Grilled Chicken, Egg, Onion and Nori over a bed of Rice, and because the dish wasn't gluttonous enough, was topped off with a Raw Egg. Served with a scalding hot Chicken Soup, this was an uber filling, comforting way to end our meal.
Before dessert Chef Ikuda offered us both a glass of Tea. After thanking him for an incredible meal, he gave us his business card, telling us to request him when we made future reservations.
MW received a homemade Green Tea Ice Cream. Tasting strongly of matcha, the ice cream was borderline bitter, which we both enjoyed.
I was given a homemade Shiso Sorbet, which was, as expected, much lighter. The herbaceous notes of the shiso stood out, acting as a refreshing palate cleanser of its own.
For someone like me, who usually finds chicken the most boring of options, yakitori is somewhat of a revelation. In fact, I rarely seek out a restaurant which specializes in chicken that's not deep fried. Having said that, yakitori is the exception to this rule. Somewhere in-between all the beer, smoke, and meat, I fell in love with yakitori during my time in Japan and welcome any opportunity to relive this experience. On our way out, we made it a point to personally thank Chef Ikuda again for our great meal. It's not every day that you get to watch a master in action.

I'm surprised that most of the dishes are cooked, although it looks amazing though. & you are right, I do find chicken boring haha ;-) rarely eat them, unless I'm on diet by my trainer!ReplyDelete
The pork belly, Okra & chicken liver look yumm!
Thanks Manda, contrary to the formality of most Japanese restaurants I love the laid back vibe of yakitori and izakayas.ReplyDelete
You know of any good places for yakitori in the Bay area? I was saving Japanese food for a future trip to L.A. Can't wait to compare Urasawa to some of the food I ate in Japan!

American Idol: Two Get The Boot (5/2/07)
I am not a happy camper. First, I had to relive the Simon/Lakisha kiss - yucktastic. Then, I had to watch some creepy guy sing a song I've never heard in his falsetto while skulking around the stage. (Skulk - SAT word. The only one I remember. To sneak around.) But then, Phil eats it instead of Lakisha. NO! Like I've said, Phil grew on me throughout this competition. Don't get me wrong, I didn't think Phil should be in the top 4, I just wanted him out before Kiki. Then, to no one's surprise, Chris left his best buddy Blake behind. But don't worry, guys, they're touring together ... for $85 a ticket. Sanjaya & Haley aren't worth my 85 cents. I like how, on Idol, they make people sing the very song that got them voted out. "Well, Chris, America thought you sucked but why don't you sing that piece of crap for us one more time? Remind everyone that they made the right decision!" I expect record deals for both so I think they'll be fine. Now hula dance your way over to Sanjaya & wait until you get to come back for the live finale singing "Wind Beneath My Wings" in 12 part harmony. Next week, Barry Gibb is the mentor - and I assume they're singing disco. Trying to highlight the girls much???

ALMOST ALL PLANT PROCESSES require phosphorus (P) to operate. Phosphorus is essential for life sustaining reactions including energy transfer, activation of proteins, and regulation of metabolic processes. While the primary source of P for plants is inorganic phosphate, there are very few soils that naturally contain a sufficient P supply to allow unrestricted plant growth.
This article originally appeared as a newsletter of the International Plant Nutrition Institute. The pdf is available here.
Compared with the other major nutrients, P is the least mobile and available to plants in most soil conditions and therefore it is commonly a major limiting factor for plant growth. Even in well-fertilized soils, the P concentration rarely exceeds a few hundred parts per billion (ppb) and is commonly less than 50 ppb in the soil solution.
Up to half of the soil P is commonly found in organic forms, derived from materials such as plant residues and soil organisms. However, organic P must be mineralized to inorganic phosphate (the form found in most fertilizers) before it can be taken up and used by plants for growth.
Because of its strong reactions with soil components, P is principally supplied to plant roots by diffusion rather than mass flow. Phosphorus uptake occurs primarily at the young root tip, into the epidermal cells with root hairs, and into cells in the outer layer of the root cortex.
|The P depletion zone in soil
The young root tips, continually expanding into fresh soil, are exposed to P concentrations found in the bulk soil solution (Figure 1). While P is rapidly taken up along the root surface, a P depletion zone of 0.2 to 1.0 mm (about the thickness of a dime) develops surrounding the root. Root hairs help expand the surface area available for P absorption. Mycorrhizal fungi, growing in association with root cells and extending up to several centimeters into the soil, can also transfer P to the root. Various crops have been shown to have different abilities to extract P from the soil and to make these beneficial associations with mycorrhizal fungi that extend their effective root system.
Rhizosphere is the soil zone (within 2 mm of the root) that is influenced by heightened biological activity, nutrient uptake, and chemical changes that result from root activity.
Getting P into the Plant: Apoplastic and Symplastic Transport
The apoplasm comprises the root walls, the cortical cells and the open spaces between these tissues (Figure 2 ). This "dead space" consists of interlaced fibers that form an open latticework in roots that serves to filter the soil solution. The soil solution moves through these spaces and pores until it reaches the tough "Casparian strip" that surrounds the core (stele) of the root. A net negative charge associated with the cell wall fibers repels anions...such as phosphate and nitrate (NO3 - ) in solution and confines their transport to larger pores within the apoplasm. Movement of nutrients through the apoplasm into the root is greatest near the root tip. Mucilage, a complex mixture of organic materials excreted around the root, also carries negatively charged hydroxyl groups which can further repel the movement of anions towards the root.
The symplast , by contrast, is a living system within the plant that connects each growing organ. It consists of thin walled cells called parenchyma, which have small openings acting as "tunnels" where the content of one cell connects with the contents (protoplasm) of the adjacent cell. The symplast is very fragile and requires the rigid framework of the apoplast to hold it in place.
Although the soil solution P concentration may be less than 50 ppb, the concentration in plant cells is much higher…50 to 500 parts per million (ppm). For plants to boost their P concentration by over a thousand times, active transport (requiring energy) across the root membranes (the plasmalemma) is required.
The movement of P from the apoplast across root cell membranes is the critical step in the transport of nutrients into the plant, requiring an energy-driven transport mechanism to move P through the membranes into the plant root cells (phosphate transporters). Researchers are currently working on ways to increase the uptake of P by stimulating these nutrient transport proteins found in the root.
Other changes take place in the rhizosphere to improve P uptake and recovery. Many roots exude organic acids (primarily citrate and oxalate) into the rhizosphere, which enhance P availability. While this response has been frequently measured, the major effect may be due to the organic compounds displacing P held by the soil (ligand exchange), rather than a direct effect of the organic acids on the rhizosphere pH. Some microorganisms living in the rhizosphere have been shown to help solubilize soil P.
These mechanisms can help improve P recovery, but they all require that P be present in the soil to begin with. No amount of excreted organic acid, root-zone microorganisms, or mycorrhizal fungi can allow a plant to recover P from a soil that does not contain P to begin with.
Plant roots can also have a considerable effect on rhizosphere pH. This pH change comes from the release of H+ or OH- (as HCO3 - ) as plants balance their uptake of excess cations or anions. Nitrogen nutrition plays the most important part in this ion balance since it is the mineral taken up in the largest quantity by most plants and it can occur as either an anion (NO3 - ) or a cation (NH4 + ). Research suggests that greater P uptake that occurs as plants are fertilized with a source of NH4+ may be the result of rhizosphere acidification that occurs with this N source. However, depending on the buffering capacity of the soil, only little change in pH may be observed in some soils.
There are many complex reactions occurring under our feet as roots invisibly work to meet the nutritional needs of the growing plants. Research is underway in many areas to improve the efficiency of P fertilizer use. Advances in improving root function may someday lead to better ways of meeting the nutrient demands of crops. For now, the focus remains on maintaining adequate soil fertility by using regular plant and soil testing, proper fertilization techniques, and appropriate management to keep the nutrients where they are needed for the growing plant.

So here I am on the tenth anniversary of my perpetual vows - somewhat older, hopefully somewhat wiser. The exuberant, overwhelming, pure God-given joy which carried me through the actual day has been replaced by a quieter, subtler joy... but I'm still in the mood to celebrate! God's fidelity and unconditional love are always worthy of celebration, but especially so at a milestone. Yes, there have been sorrows and challenges in the past decade, times of huge pain when I have truly lived in the Wounded Heart, but that's when I know God's love has been especially tender and constant, and the call to the Open Heart - the source of my life and my joy - especially strong.
And one of my joys is that today isn't only 'my' day! There were twelve of us who prepared for profession together, growing in friendship and trust as we grew in our openness to God. We share the bond of that experience, as well as our own call and identity expressed through our group's name and devise (motto). Nine of us were professed together, so I share today with a small group of women on every continent, including the three who were professed later. They have all been very much in my prayer today, as I give thanks for the worldwide community to which I have pledged my life.
We are all meant to be mothers of God, for God is always needing to be born.
I've been praying with that quote especially today, turning it over in my heart. It calls me to be a bearer of God, and God's life, wherever that life and presence are needed. It also sums up our call as RSCJ, which is to discover and make known the love of God's Heart: God is inextricably Love, and so wherever God is, there, without a doubt, is Love - and vice versa! But first, of course, God needs to be born, given life and nurtured in my own heart, and that's the grace and desire for which I pray.
Several weeks ago I wrote about the grace of joy (here), and the joy I described then is definitely the joy I feel today, as I give thanks for all that has been and re-commit myself to the journey and adventure that lie ahead...

I've always heard that it is not only wise to plant the ending of a story in the beginning, but necessary. Not in an obvious way, of course, but subtly. The beginning of a well-told tale should at least hint as to where that story is going, and perhaps where it will end.
This is one of the many reasons why, for me, much of writing is revising. I outline and yet, because I don't force myself to stick to the outline (it's more of a safety net), I often need to revise my story based on what the first draft ends up becoming. I almost always need to adjust my story beginning (adjust often being a nice way of saying rewrite) to suite my story ending.
How about you? If you are a writer, do you try to allude to your story endings in those story beginnings?
If you are a reader, do you appreciate how the ending of a story is sometimes reflected in the beginning of that tale?

WESCO International sales fall 3.6 percent
WESCO International said its net sales for the third quarter were $1.86 billion, compared to $1.92 billion for the third quarter of 2015, a decrease of 3.6%.
Acquisitions had a 2.9% positive impact on net sales, partially offset by a 0.3% impact from foreign exchange rates, resulting in a 6.2% decrease in normalized organic sales.
the company posted a net loss $31.6 million for the quarter, or a loss of 65 cents per share, compared to net income of $63.5 million, or $1.28 per share, for the third quarter of 2015.
"Sales were below expectations, reflecting a decline in construction in both the U.S. and Canada," said John J. Engel, chairman, president and CEO. "Operating margin was in-line with our outlook as we took additional actions to reduce our costs and streamline our organization."
For the first nine months of the year, net sales were $5.54 billion, compared to $5.66 billion for the first nine months of 2015, a decrease of 2.0%.
"We expect the current end market challenges to continue in the fourth quarter and have reflected them in our revised full year outlook for sales to be down 2% to 3%," Engel added.

This is one of the perverts who I found in my living room at Brougham Road, Marsden.
They are part of a paedophile ring run by Roy Stobbs (boy molester) and Richard Goodall (girl molester). Also, Mark Gilbert (postman) is in charge of the website.
In this video you can see him follow me around the shop; this is an attempt to intimidate me because he knows that I am a part of the team who helped to bring evidence to the police resulting in the conviction of a child pornographer.
The man in the video has also had several other adventures; I first met him in Holmfirth in a bookshop, when I was 7 or 8. He first exposed himself to me, and then tried to grab hold of my coat – luckily some people came up the stairs and he suddenly became a mild-mannered customer, browsing the second hand books. I didn't get to bite him as I have with Mark Gilbert, but I did get a good kick to the shins.
He was also "darth vader" at Kays, Huddersfield (not there anymore), signing fake autographs. The store was so crowded that he was able to expose himself to children without being noticed. I saw him indecently touching some other boys from beneath his cloak, who went away crying. When it came to my turn to get the autograph, he pressed my head forwards so that I could see that he was exposing himself; he also put his hand on my genitals.
Same incident:
This man was in my living room during the incidents I describe elsewhere on this blog; he was right by the living room door when I came downstairs, and was blocking my view into the room; there were 9-12 adults in the room, and I could see a few faces; Mark Gilbert was speaking from the front of the room making an address – he stated that if any of the adults did not wish to become involved in illegal activity involving creating and distributing pornographic videos of children (boys and girls) that they should leave. The adults had been let into the house by Keir Forman (also of Brougham Road) and Neil Gilpin (arrested for child abuse but was aquitted). The meeting took the form of an interview, by Gilbert, to determine whether Gilpin should be admitted into the ring. Another person involved was a man named Trevor Bates – he'd already been admitted and was at the meeting incognito, having told his acquaintances that he was away on holiday to Ibitha.
Unfortunately, Gilpin and Forman had drugged my coffee with a date-rape drug which induces immediate unconsciousness. I started to black out, and concealed myself where I would be able to continue my observations as the drug wore off.
When I awoke, the gang were leaving the house. Gilpin was bidding goodbye to each member, whilst standing on the doorstep. The moment the last person had gone, I leaped up and locked the door, in order to examine my computer. Sure enough, in the web-cache were indecent images of children, and I also managed to uncover part of a video which the gang had created (one of Gilbert's premises was that to be in the ring they must create and upload their own videos for the enjoyment of the other members; this was in lieu of a paid membership). The video is described elsewhere on this blog, and depicted a young child being abducted, molested, and eventually murdered.
After being unable to re-enter the property, Gilpin panicked. He immediately produced his mobile, and rung Trevor Bates (ducking down by the window, I could here him 'whispering' the name of the person he was ringing). Trev was very annoyed, being part way through an abduction. Soon, Goodall's car showed up and Trevor popped out of it; unfortunately, I absent mindedly took another sip of coffee and started losing consciousness; I unlocked the door in case of a medical emergency.
Bates and Goodall came up with a "master" plan to gain entry to my house.
Lying on my bed, I could here every word that was said, even when the ring members where speaking in hushed tones. Edward Green (the postman who later lost his job for stealing sacks of mail) was part of the frame – he was to pretend that Andrew Kelly's dog had bitten him; Bates went off to town on the bus to purchase some fake blood from the then brand new theater shop in the Byram Arcade. This took him about 20 minutes. He, Goodall and Green made a complete mess of the frame-up – firstly, they tried to goad the dog to bite Green, which caused the dog to turn and bite both Goodall and Bates. Green then tried to slice his hand with a penknife, but was too squeamish – eventually he managed to create a tiny cut – nurses at the infirmary said that the cut did not even need a bandage, and could not have been caused by a dog bite. They sprinkled copious amounts of fake blood, which began to dissolve in the puddles, rather than congeal as real blood would do. Also, they dropped the dog's tether in the middle of the path to make it look as though the dog had been running there and the tether had somehow fallen off – this credits the dog with being able to untie both ends of the tether, and also to have stopped running in order to untie it, with his tail perhaps, and then caught up with his quarry less than ten yards away.
The entire fiasco, doomed from the start, was completely unnecessary because the front door was open all along.
The criminals then found that the door was unlocked, and presumably had sneaked back into the house; I was unable to recover the evidence from the hard-drive, leaving only my witness statement as evidence that the crime had occurred.
The crime was in retaliation for Andrew having entered a property belonging to Roy Stobbs, finding a 'secret' compartment containing some hard-drives, and finding a 'secret' partition on the drive as well as some 'secret' deleted files ready to be undeleted, which contained the illegal material as well as the browser history and cache.
Anyway, the man in the video is known to me as a child abuser from several incidents, and also has attacked a close friend of mine (now deceased) when he was aged about 18-19. The friend came out of an alley right in front of me as I was walking home in the early hours – he was sobbing (most unusual) and described to me how he had just been raped. The man in the video walked out from the next alley, and my friend pointed him out to me.
