As in, all of them.
Including those I hadn't seen since leaving my ex-husband 11 years ago.
Yeah, I was rather stressed. Once upon a time I had been close to my former sister-in-law. We'd really liked each other and had gotten along well during the 14 years of my relationship with her brother. My former brother-in-law and I weren't so close and I hadn't formed a close attachment with his wife. But, still, once we'd been family and now we weren't and I was worried about how that would translate.
And then, of course, there was my ex-husband. I had loved this man once. Loved him enough to have children and build a life with him. But, things change as things always change and I left him.
We're not friends.
Did I mention stressful?
But, surprisingly, it was also pleasant. I actually quite enjoyed chatting with my former sister-in-law (she really is lovely) as well as with my ex's current wife. Okay, there's no chance of us being besties, by any means, but she was still polite and so was I and it wasn't as shambolic as I expect it to be.
But, I was totally glad when it was over. So, this week, I was pleased to be able to complete two goals, just so I could remind myself of the life I have now, rather than the life I left behind.
10. Complete a course in something unusual.
Well, I can't lay any claims to now being an expert or anything, but this week I completed a six-week course in an Introduction to Forensics. I studied an actual true recreation of a murder committed in Scotland, and as a result learned about Fingermarks/prints, DNA, Tyre tread, shoe marks, witness accounts and a whole lot more. No, I'm not the next Bones, but I feel I can go into writing crime with a little more knowledge of the process.
(I'm sure my instructors were a little perturbed by the number of times I stated "What an idiot. He should have lied. If he'd done this instead, there's a chance he'd have gotten away with it.")
Next up, Life in the Time of King Richard III. Can't wait.
Actually, belay that. Next up, back to uni. Hopefully.
23. Have a professional massage.
I am a qualified massage therapist. Two years ago, however, I swore off giving massages for life and sold my table. What a mistake!
At my Massage Therapist graduation
Today I had a massage with a professional beautician. The best thing I can say about it was that she 'rubbed with style'. As a therapist I know some of the best moves to help release tension, knots and pain. This woman did not. There was no kneading, no form of percussion (ie chopping and cupping, my favourite) no warm up, and only minimum warm down. She had her main moves (rubbing and knuckling) but didn't really do anything with them to help the tension in my shoulders, despite my request to do so. She mainly concentrated on my lumbar and left it feeling sore rather than better. Now, if there's anything I learned as a therapist, it's 'don't hurt, help.' You don't need to be hard or heavy with your strokes. A gentle touch can be more beneficial for pain than digging in, but you have to know how to control what you're doing. She didn't.
I really, really wish I hadn't sold my table.
(On the other hand, she did a great job of waxing my eyebrows.)
So, there you go. Another week sees two goals ticked off. I'm actually quite enjoying this.

Leonardo was a 49 year-old cook who supports three dependents. He was relatively well for his age until he experienced a sudden severe headache at work which was relieved the next hour. Two days later, he experienced another severe headache that lasted for several hours, prompting him to consult in UP - PGH.
It was revealed that Leonardo had a bleeding in his brain and was consequently admitted to the Neurology Intensive Care Unit (ICU). He needed to undergo craniectomy and clipping of aneurysm to treat the bleeding and to prevent another. to be able to undergo these procedures, Leonardo and his family felt the need too seek from their relatives for his medicines and other surgical supplies.
Throughout his confinement, Leonardo expressed his deep desire to get well so that he can go back to work and finally relieve his family of the financial burden brought about by his medical condition.
Witnessing their desperate need for funds, Let's Save the Brain approved the family's appeal for a financial aid of Php11,500.00 for an aneurysm clip. This procedure was truly a life-saver for Leonardo his family for it also ensured that there won't be any re-rupture in the future.


text: hiya, come from a nokia world so when my desire arrived this morning, i have been well chuffed discovering just how good this handset is! I have a few questions which perhaps someone wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction. I used to find the Nokia suite quite handy for backing up the phone, adding contacts, updating software etc. Is the htc sync similar - the webpage implies it's for outlook contacts etc. I think ive done the best thing by making all my contacts within gmail, so they are in the cloud and sync immediately. So thinking about it, if it's just the back up's, i take it it backs up to media card? This takes me on to my next question: Is there a maximum for the OS/hardware? Can anyone recommend a manufacturer and size (three mobile gave me a 4GB Samsung). What would be the best way of putting music and videos on? Do i need to keep pressing the power button to wake the device up? I see this article refers to using the volume button, although ideally would like to just touch the screen (i have made use of the radio button combination which locks the screen after a minute) I saw what I thought was a great and useful app - "where is my droid", although when i went to install it, apparently it needs access to the contacts. Does anyone know if this is genuine - i can't think of a reason why this app would need access to the contacts. Can anyone recommend a tool similar to 3G Watchdog for monitoring sms usage? Sorry for waffling, thanks for looking!

Everything's Fine
Chapter One
The clouds in the sky shifted with
the gelid wind and the warm rays that had reflected on the windows of the
Olivia Benson shivered against the cold as she allowed a sigh to escape her mouth. Dark brown eyes peered the through the milling crowds of dark and cream-coloured faces that surrounded the area and she looked for the slightly balding form that belonged to her partner. Unable to find him, Olivia walked down the cold stone steps and approached the next set of stairs that led to the neighboring door.
The third victim of the murderer to whom the media had coined the name "The Little Harlem Rapist" had been found not a block from where Olivia was canvassing the streets for witnesses. On superficial details alone, the case was no different from any other Olivia had seen in the Special Victims Unit, yet the fact that the killer had taken the lives of three young black girls gave the case a special proclivity that had the power to strain relations between police and civilians in the city.
An uproar
had already been stirring, fueled mostly by the "local Sharpton,"
Clayton Banks, who had made himself prominent in all matters involving the NYPD
and blacks in the city. Banks was claiming the race card in regards to the
For weeks he had been spraying his stories across three local networks as well as several radio programs and was threatening to make the case national if it came to it. When Olivia had remarked in jest, "Well, maybe Banks should get off his ass and help us canvass instead of smudging the NYPD." the comment had somehow leaked back to him and he had gone to one of the most libelous local newspapers with a list of black victims for whom Olivia Benson, specifically, could not find justice.
In each case Banks where had called
Olivia "just another racist cop," the likelihood of a positive outcome was not probable. The women on Banks' list had been amongst
the many raped coming home from work or late-night classes, by barely
describable assailants whose prints and
Olivia knocked on the door of the
next building, hoping to be met with one face that did not stare at her badge
with scorn. The tenants of the previous ten buildings she had canvassed had not
been helpful in providing her with information on the little girl found in the
alley and, aside from having ten doors slammed in her face, Olivia had been
called three racial slurs, two variations of "pig" and had had her life
threatened by a ten-year-old boy. Even after spending her entire life in
"Yes?" said the elderly woman who answered the door.
Olivia flashed her badge. "Hello. My name is Detective Olivia Benson. I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions.
The woman stared at her for full minute before answering. "I don't want any trouble."
"You're not in any trouble Mrs…"
"Sampson. Well, what questions have you got?"
Olivia proceeded to probe the woman for information on she might have witnessed in regards to the newest child found. In the end, the woman proved quite helpful by stating that she saw a "white man with white hair" carrying something down the alley the previous night, but refused to elaborate further and quickly escorted Olivia out of the building.
Two hours later, Olivia had knocked on the remaining doors on her side of the block and had questioned the residents, though retrieving only limited information; a blond man had been seen by three different people carrying something down the alley where the little girl, at this time still nameless, had been found. The idea that it was a white man killing little black girls in the city caused the ever-twisting knot in Olivia's stomach to grow tighter. In her years with the force, she had seen riots break out over far less.
With a final doling of her business card for the resident in the last building on the block, Olivia leaned against the gate that surrounded the brownstone to send a message to her partner on her department-issued Blackberry.
She paused as she pulled his name to the screen, a now familiar ache coagulating near the base of her spine.
Things were different between her and her partner now. Ten months earlier, they had slowly but surely been marching along a road that was leading somewhere beyond fraternal claps on the back and requited looks of want and longing. Yet now, things were different. A series of memories had forever shaped the way she saw him.
She remembered standing outside a court room as she listened to him announce that wife, ex-wife at the time was pregnant and she remembered the initial confusion that raced through her mind as the "Are you sure it's even yours?" was prevented from bouncing off her lips.
She remembered the melancholy in her partner's face after he had returned "home" to a marriage that was failing; one that had sprang forth from an unplanned pregnancy and was rekindling through the hope that yet another unplanned pregnancy, though more than twenty years away from the first, would shave away the distance between Elliot and his wife and problems about which they never seemed to speak.
She remembered volunteering to drive Elliot's wife to routine doctor's appointment as well as the sound of metal bending all around her and the vision of a white blanket of an airbag pressing in one quick burst against her face, chest and abdomen. Weeks later, Olivia still had a bruise across her shoulder she was certain would never fully heal, right along with the so-called bruises her heart felt with the memories thereafter.
She remembered the sheer terror that welled somewhere in the pit of her stomach at the site of Elliot's then pregnant wife still stuck inside the car; the sound of the Jaws of Life ripping the police sedan into shreds as it attempted to save not one, but two lives, the elation of hearing Elliot's fifth child take his first breath in a speeding ambulance, followed by grief at hearing the heart beat of the child's mother flat line on the EKG the bellowed in the small bus.
She remembered Kathy's heart regaining its rhythm, the way she looked as Olivia set her child into her arms, the way her own heart beat so hard she thought she was going into arrest as she awaited Elliot's entrance at the hospital scene and she remembered being spun around and hugged by her partner for the first time.
She remembered all of this, but what she remembered most were her tears once she returned the solitude of her own apartment. The child was here and any glimmer of anything happening between her and her partner had been squashed the moment the little boy had been named. Elliot was back with his wife and that was that.
While waiting for Elliot to respond, she made some final notes in the Blackberry on the results of her canvass. A part of her wanted to write, "not a damn thing found," but seeing as how her last brazen comments of sarcasm had landed the entire squad into a bit of trouble, she was not apt to even suggest the joke in the phone, lest the comment leak and cause even further problems for the case.
Olivia finished her note just as her phone rang.
"Liv," answered her captain. "They just found a body up where you are now. It's bad."
"Another little girl?" asked Olivia, her voice much higher than she had intended.
"No, but the ME thinks it's related. I've got the address for you. Stabler's on his way there now."
Within ten minutes, Olivia had arrived at the crime scene that lied several blocks north of her canvassed area. A police perimeter of blue and white barriers, police tape and a number of squad cars had been erected around the fifth-floor walk-up building and Olivia was waved under the yellow police tape by a uniformed officer at the scene. Inside the building, she found the medical examiner standing at the edge of a vast burgundy stain.
Few things surprised Olivia after
she had begun working in the
The scene that lay before her was
gruesome but beheld an artistic eloquence in the flashing lights of
"What've we got?" asked Olivia.
"Whitney Tarver," said the medical examiner. Melinda shook her head as she stared at the woman. "She's been dead for at least four or five hours. It probably went down about six this morning. We found an ID in her jeans on the other side of the room. She's been cut up pretty bad."
"Signs of sexual trauma?"
"Both pre and post mortem."
"God…" whispered Olivia in a breath she could not hold.
"It's worse," continued Melinda. "The lacerations come from the same weapon used on the little girls and there are signs of a severe struggle."
Olivia shook her head as the scent of familiar cologne caught her nose.
"What are we looking at?" said Elliot as he stepped from behind Olivia.
"The victim's name is Whitney Tarver," repeated Melinda, "but we just checked and this isn't her house."
"Whose house is it?" he asked.
"Malcolm and Dana Watterson. They've lived here for about eight years."
"And they don't have any enemies?"
"Doesn't appear so. Their neighbors say they work long hours, but are good people." Melinda paused. "This is the same guy who killed these three little girls. I'm sure of it."
"So, was she the target or was it one of the Wattersons?" asked Olivia.
"That's the sixty-four thousand-dollar question," mumbled Elliot.
"Well, we need to find them and make sure they're all right," said Olivia. "If they were the target, their lives could still be in danger."
"There's more," interrupted a young uniformed officer. "Whitney Tarver was the Watterson's babysitter. They have a little daughter, Cecilia, but she's nowhere to be found."
Silence descended on the trio as they digested the ramifications of the new information, Olivia shaking her head all the while. If the person who murdered Whitney Tarver had also raped and murdered the three young girls, the possibility was great that the Watterson's daughter was the proposed target.
Elliot opened his mouth as his eyes met Olivia's, but hesitated as she did the same. The silence then became so awkward amongst the three that Melinda shifted on her feet in hopes to subdue it.
"Well," she said, her tension-easing efforts gone in vain. "I'm going to finish up here. There are seminal fluids present, but I'm certain they belong to the same man who's killed these girls."
"All right," said Elliot. "I'm gonna finish up the questioning for the victim found on Fredrick Douglas and we need to put out an alert for the Wattersons and their daughter."
"One of us needs to get Cragen up to speed," said Olivia. "Once Banks and the media catch wind of this, we'll be catching an even stronger hellfire."
"I'm on it."
Olivia nodded, glad to have the sudden tension between her and Elliot broken. "I'm going to finish up here and get the canvass started."
"Keep me posted," said Elliot as he strode out the door.
Olivia started to follow suit when
one of the
"Take a look at this," he said as he stared at the floor.
Olivia stepped toward his vantage point. "What is it?"
"These smears near the door…if you look at them…they kinda look like feet…"
His voice trailed and Olivia crouched near one of the smears on the floor. The longer she stared at it, the more it appeared to take the slight shape of a small, bare footprint.
"I don't know," said Olivia. "It might just our minds playing tricks on us. It could be that we-"
"No look," said Melinda. "The one behind it looks almost the same. Another small foot."
"It's almost like they're leading toward the door."
"They are…" said Olivia as she switched positions.
"What if Cecilia Watterson was the target?" said the officer. "If he came for her and surprised the babysitter, this could've gotten ugly real quick."
"The thing is…," said Olivia, nodding, "there's two sets of feet here."
"Look for yourself. If these are footprints, then they're in two different sizes." She paused. "Grab the rest of the team and fan out. We need to follow these as far as they go."
Within thirty minutes, Olivia and the crime scene unit had followed the sets of light footprints that had been made in Whitney Tarver's blood out of the building and to the street where Olivia and the young officer, Phillips, split into a single team to follow the prints that had separated once they got to the street.
The prints faded more and more as they moved toward the intersecting alleys and a growing dread welled in Olivia's stomach once she saw that the set of prints she had been chasing had all but vanished. She and Phillips tried using every technique available, but as the prints appeared farther and farther apart, almost as if their creator had broken into a run, they became more difficult to discern from the general dirt on the city's streets. With their disappearance, Olivia knew that the blood had dried on the small feet of whomever had been running from the crime scene; their witness to the murder.
"Find anything?" called Olivia to
the regrouping set of
"Nothing," said a lanky officer
with a strong
"What d'you mean disappear?" asked Olivia. "You mean they just faded off?"
"No," said the officer. "They were fading, but they were still pretty clear. Then all of a sudden, they just stop. I'm guessing the guy must've grabbed the little girl off the street."
Olivia nodded with a solemn expression on her face. He's got his next victim.
"Elliot," she said several minutes
later into her phone. "We need to get Fin and
"The daughter?" he asked.
"I'm sure of it. We found footprints in this victim's blood. Two, in fact. They start together and then the two scatter in different directions."
"Two? From who?"
She shrugged unconsciously. "Still don't know. I would assume the daughter, but we've still got no idea who the other set came from."
"Where do they lead?"
"Don't know that either. One set gradually fades away while the other just stops at the street, which is why I'm thinking the killer's got another girl."
"All right, Liv," said Elliot. "I'm about done over here. No one's seen anything. I'll be on my way up there in a minute and I'll let the Cap and the others know."
She ended the call without saying goodbye and asked the others at the scene to keep her updated on any new findings as she made new notes on starting yet another canvass. Her mind whirred with questions as the memory of Whitney Tarver's outstretched arms spread across her eyes.
She was trying to save them, thought Olivia. Even in her last moments.
The small footprints were unnerving. Two little girls were in Whitney's care; one fled North, the other South; one was snatched by the killer, the other was just gone.
Olivia stopped short once she
stepped onto
The words "…walking around in her damn bare feet…" hung in the air, but before Olivia could react the sound, the woman's care had turned East and was quickly bumping down the street.
Blackberry in hand, she made a note to the time and streets and started on the first building to her right. The tenants on the first two floors had no information for her in regards to who could have murdered Whitney Tarver and Olivia stepped out of the stairwell of the five-floor walk-up building dreading the suspicious looks and reluctant faces that were awaiting her.

It became a 'hot topic of discussion' when the rumours of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt's affair hit the Tinsel town. Many fans of Alia Bhatt & Ranbir Kapoor sounded rejoiced, while some dissed their affair! But all eyes were on Ranbir Kapoor's parents - Neetu Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor. Everybody wanted to know how are they gonna react to it. And the couple surprised everyone with their sweet gestures towards Alia. And now, we hear Ranbir's parents are also ready to break the traditions of Kapoor clan for their 'would-be' bahu, Alia Bhatt!
Rishi Is All 'Yes' For Alia
Deccan Chronile "Rishi Kapoor has never disapproved Ranbir's girlfriends, be it Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, or any other girl that Ranbir Kapoor has dated in the past."
Neetu Has Given Green Signal To Ranbir-Alia's Alliance
"He has been cordial with all of them. It is Ranbir's mother, Neetu, who often disapproves of his girlfriends. She didn't get along with either Deepika or Katrina, but she adores Alia. As far as Neetu ji is concerned, the alliance is a done deal," added the source.
Ranbir To Marry Alia By Next Year?
The source further added, "If all goes well, the marriage will happen late next year. Alia will continue working in films post-marriage, thereby breaking the tradition of Kapoor bahus giving up their careers like Babita and Neetu did."
Recently, Rishi Had Said He Wants Ranbir To Get Married ASAP
In a conversation with Mid Day, Rishi Kapoor had said, "It is high time he got married. I settled down when I was 27, Ranbir is 35. So he should think about marriage. He can marry anyone of his choice; we don't have any objection to it. I want to spend time with my grandchildren before I am gone."
Rishi Kapoor On Ranbir Dating Only Actresses
He has also revealed why actors (including his son) get chances to date 'actresses' only. He had said, "Be it Ranbir or his contemporaries, actors have blinkers on and are focused on their work. The only women they meet are the actresses. They don't socialise as much; that is the flipside of life in the movies."
Does Rishi Kapoor Do The 'Marriage Talk' With Ranbir?
While speaking about Ranbir's marriage, he had said, "I haven't been vocal about it, but my wife [Neetu Kapoor] keeps bringing it up with him and he just brushes the question away. Whenever he is ready for it, we will be happy. Our happiness lies in his happiness, after all."
Rishi On Ranbir-Alia's Affair
Without spilling much beans, Rishi Kapoor rather gave a smart reply and confirmed Ranbir-Alia's affair by saying, "Jo hai woh hai, sabko pata hai. I don't need to say anything more."

Property owners are so pleased that their "eyes light up" when they can finally stroll out to a new deck. With an approximated 75% ROI, according to Improvement Magazine's 2016 Expense vs. Worth report, an updated deck makes for an affordable house enhancement.
You don't have to clear your bank account to make your kitchen area that much better. Rather, attempt one or 2 of the following: adding new stainless-steel appliances, refacing cabinetry, or installing a brand-new countertop, floor covering, or charging stations– each one on its own can raise this location without siphoning off too much money.
Down the road, a fully grown tree can add £1,000 to £10,000 to the worth of your home, according to the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers.
If you're the type of house owner who enjoys to lavish a little TLC on your home in the form of some clever restorations, the question stays: What are the absolute best home improvements to make? Whether you're trying to find a great roi or simply something you'll delight in without breaking your back or bank account, take a look at this list of expert-approved remodellings you will not ever regret.
- A new deck
Property owners are so delighted that their "eyes light up" when they can finally walk out to a new deck. So decks can not just thrill you, but likewise offer a solid roi. With an estimated 75% ROI, inning accordance with Renovation Magazine's 2016 Cost vs. Worth report, an updated deck makes for an economical house improvement.
- Basement
Fixing up the basement will add a whole brand-new level of living area to your house and get you over 70% ROI, higher than a rehabbed kitchen or bathroom. Just make sure you know what you're doing.
Prior to including all that flair, you'll want to ensure to deal with mold and dampness, and pick out the ideal type of flooring.
- Attic insulation
Not the most glam task, but it does make a distinction. Scoring the highest ROI of 116.9%, a fiberglass attic insulation in fact spends for itself and delivers a little profit whenever you decide to offer.
Plus, reasonably speaking, this task is "easily DIY-able," Clement says. From a structure science perspective, it keeps the cold and heat on the outside of the roof while still letting air pass inside the rafter bays. In other words, it enables you to include a layer of insulation without compromising ventilation or much space.
As for the best kind of insulation to utilize, experts advise stone wool from Roxul, which costs about ₤ 30 per 30 square feet.
Your attic has the potential to become part of your home. The only difficulty sometimes is finding the very best location to build in the stairs. Specialists in loft conversion such as DPLofts have the experience to encourage you on this and all other elements of a loft conversion
- A brand-new front door
A brand-new front door is among the very best house improvements you can do.
A new front door can also conserve you money on energy expenses, while keeping your house that much more quiet and impervious to wrongdoers. Plus, front door replacements have a high ROI, with 91.1% for steel doors and 82.3% for fiberglass doors.
- Small cooking area remodellings
Let's be truthful: An overall kitchen area remodelling is actually costly. However you do not have to empty your checking account to make your kitchen that far better. Instead, attempt one or two of the following: adding new stainless-steel home appliances, refacing cabinets, or installing a new counter top, floor covering, or charging stations– every one by itself can raise this location without siphoning off too much loan.
- New siding
Replacing your siding can not just safeguard your house, but also make your exterior pop. Changing the bottom vinyl siding of your home with manufactured stone veneer has an ROI of 92.9%; including all new siding has an ROI of 77%.
- Landscaping and trees
Consider it: Planting a tree costs you next to nothing. Yet down the road, a fully grown tree can include £1,000 to £10,000 to the worth of your house, inning accordance with the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers. Plus, foliage and flowers lend a rich, lively seek to your yard that increases your curb appeal in spades.

Yesterday we introduced two new sample healthy policies: Tap Water Promotion and Reducing Marketing of Unhealthy Food & Beverages to Children.
Today we're bringing you a quick Q&A on the Tap Water Promotion policy:
Photo by jfwphoto
Why promote tap water?
We developed the Tap Water Promotion sample policy because water is essential for health. Families with young children and all community members should have easy access to clean, safe, appealing, free drinking water everywhere they go. Providing tap water to young children is an environmentally friendly way to promote health and help prevent early childhood obesity.
How can I get started with promoting tap water?
Even if your organization is slow to pass a formal policy on tap water promotion, there are plenty of steps that you, as a colleague, can begin to practice. Here are just a few ideas (there are many more in the sample policy):
- Improve the appeal and taste of tap water by serving it chilled, carbonated, or with sliced fruit.
- Model frequent drinking of tap water.
- At meetings, provide pitchers filled with tap water
- Encourage children to drink tap water throughout the day.
Want to learn more? Check out our new sample policies here.
The HAB45 Executive Committee developed and endorsed these new policies through the support of our funders, with the help of HAB45 staff and input from our Leadership Council members.

So on Friday night both the Twin and I had dreams involving our mother and grandmother. Both involved Mum stalking us in some way and with us trying to get away. Turns out these dreams were quite prophetic.
While we are out on Saturday Twin receives a text from mum - text reads as follows "Hi Twin Your Uncle is bringing up your Grandmother on Thursday and they
are staying a while. he will be chauffeuring her around as I can't drive. They
would like to see you perhaps on Saturday. Contact me so that we can arrange
Its like nothing has ever happened. Like I haven't stopped talking to her for 6 months and Twin for 3. We are both freaked out and for a while can't decide what to do but eventually decide not to respond straight away. First this gives us a chance to calm down and second it takes away control from mum. If we had responded straight away she would assume its ok to talk to us all the time and we would be bombarded with messages (has happened in past).
Looking at the text we see its about control, she wants to control the situation with Grandmother and Uncle so all communication has to go through her. We do want to see Grandmother and Uncle though so next day Twin Texts back that we will contact Uncle through Facebook and arrange something. This gives us control and means she will only know about plans if Uncle chooses to tell her. Twin contacts Uncle and we agree to see them on Saturday but don't agree venue yet.
No further contact from the other mother so far.
Now there are a couple of things to consider, assuming Mum has told Nanny and Uncle about the situation we may have to deal with them harassing us to start contact with Mum. If she has told them I can assume she has painted us in a bad light and will not have told them the truth. I think we are just going to have to say they don't know the whole situation and that we don't want to go into it and if they won't stop talking about it then we will leave.
However if mum hasn't told them anything we may have to explain that we are no contact with mum which is going to be tricky.
The other problem is that Mum may show up at the venue (when we decide were it is) and at that point I will be out of there and taking Twin with me.
I am hoping that none of these things will happen but I realise that is slightly deluded but I am not looking forward to seeing them because of this and that makes me sad.
It has also made me realise that there are things about mum that I don't miss.
I don't miss her attempts to disrupt my life every time something good happens - like the bombshells she would drop directly before or just after every holiday.
I don't miss her treating me like a servant
I don't miss being scared to tell her I had a day off as she would assume that it was so she could order me about.
I don't miss having to watch what I put on face book because she would demand every detail
I don't miss her attempts to control my life
I don't miss watching her emotionally drain my sister to the point of exhaustion and depression
I don't miss the lies and her attempts to change history in her favour
I don't miss the passive aggressive tactics and the little put downs she would slip into conversation to make us feel bad
I don't miss the 'accidental' destruction of my favourite things or the clothes that she would give away
to be honest I don't miss my mother.

Memorials may be made to: Quota Club Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 301, Paris, Tennessee; or First Baptist Church men's ministry, 313 North Poplar St., Paris, Tennessee
|Mrs. Val Rucker
Routon had some very close ties to Dancyville
in her early years. She very kindly provided a lot of information regarding what was happening in the area in the years 1928 through 1931, when she lived here. Below is a link to Mrs. Routon's contributions to this site and the community of Dancyville, Tennessee.
For Mrs. Routon Remembering the Dancyville Community and Methodist Church
Circuit. Probably the most complete information ever written on many
Dancyville subjects. Thank you Mrs. Routon and may you Rest In Peace.

I imagine Amazon like Scrooge McDucks vault except with books instead of money. Am so obsessed with that place! Great news about the book!
I always imagined that was how you dressed anyway! :D I'd love to be able to wear long floaty skirts and DM's. With my size 9 feet I'd look like an over weight drag queen :D BUT this week I've been so hot that I've actually been wearing sleeveless tops. Unheard of, am so paranoid about my upper arms. You know what? People didn't stare and the world carried on as normal! So today I even wore a dress (as a top)over my jeans! Must be something in the air.
Your art, as always, is stunning! Every bit of it. Acrylic sprays? Tell me more!
Have a lovely week Sam x

Fabulous post as always, your canvas is gorgeous, I haven't worked with beeswax but have received a few pieces of mail recently that have just it!
Loving your list of gratefuls, the sun shining and spending time with family is always fantastic and always nurturing. The Reiki share sounds awesome too, haven't worked with Reiki for a while really should get it flowing again and crystals my absolute favourite!
Hope the book is good, my hubby has two bibles he uses when it comes to crystals and they cost a fortune but were worth every penny. Hope you had a great week and get chance to slow down a little. Will be thinking positive vibes for your sister over the next week.

Moët Bar and Gallery Restaurant - Selfridges
After aimlessly wondering around the stores of Manchester - looking at the beautiful dresses, trying on some far too expensive shoes we decided to head to lunch. We decided on something light as we were going out for dinner later in the evening.
I have never eaten at Selfridges before and normally shy away from department store restaurants as they seem to be a little on the drab side. Selfridges was a nice surprise the food was incredibly tasteful.
I had the Chicken liver Salad and it was simply incredibly. The chicken was done in a lemon marinate and just so wonderfully tender. It was exactly what I wanted full of flavor but light so I could still look forward to my dinner. There was no guilt for this lunch as was Dukan friendly – chicken and Salad = allowed. The accompanying glass of champagne – not so much but we were in the Moet bar - it would be rude not to.
The man had the Mushroom Risotto and now I love risotto and I cook it often for him - so I was surprised he ordered it. I would love to know the ingredients for what was in this as it was like tasting some sort of magic.
The view over the city was really nice and the waiters were kind, attentive and in good spirits.
After such a nice lunch I am thinking I should try the London Restaurant with some friends.

Urology and Nephrology Center, University of Mansoura, Mansoura, Egypt.
We report here on a 62 renal transplant recipients who survived with a functioning graft for more than 15 years (range 15-24 years). They included 43 males and 19 females, with a mean age at transplantation of 27.5± 6.6 yrs (range 9-43 yrs), and a mean donor age of 30± 8.6 yrs. The donor source was 8 parents, 49 siblings and 5 unrelated. Twenty-nine patients were cyclosporine (CsA) treated, while 33 patients were primarily immunosuppressed by steroids and azathioprine. Acute rejection episodes occurred in 40 patients (64.3%), out of them 19 patients experienced two or more acute rejection episodes. Comparative studies between the long-term and short-term (n= 82) survivors during the same observation period revealed that the recipient age, donor age, HLA-DR matching, pre and post transplantation hypertension are significant risk factors (P<0.05): Currently, forty-six (74.2%) of the 62 long-term survivors are still living with a functioning graft, 11 living on dialysis, and 5 died. We concluded that renal transplantation even in its earliest years and despite the numerous complications have provided 15 or more years of near normal life to patients with end stage renal disease.

Services » Ultrasound Services » Nuchal Translucency Screening (First Trimester Screening)
Dr. Lescale offers first trimester screening, a revolutionary new non-invasive screening test that combines a blood test with a nuchal translucency measurement to help determine with greater accuracy whether a fetus may have Down syndrome, Trisomy 18, or other chromosome abnormalities. It can also detect congenital heart defects. Traditionally women at high-risk for problems due to maternal age or family history have been offered chorionic villus sampling (CVS) in their first trimester, or waited until the second trimester to have an amniocentesis, both of which carry their own risks. First trimester screening allows patients to push their decision making up a month, and provides reassurance of a healthy pregnancy earlier than any other test permits.
This test has been performed in the United States since 1995, but is still not widely available. To perform the procedure the physician needs high quality equipment and must be certified by the Fetal Medicine Foundation in London, the organization that currently set the standards and provides the software that allows the doctor to evaluate risk.
By using ultrasound the doctor measures the clear space at the back of the baby's neck. The measurement of this fluid is called a nuchal translucency measurement. Babies with abnormalities tend to accumulate more fluid at the back of their necks during the first trimester, causing a larger nuchal translucency measurement. The test is painless and involves not risk to the patient or fetus. The Screening must be performed between 11 and 14 weeks. In the first stage of the test the baby's gestational age will be confirmed. Next a probe is placed over the abdomen so that the nuchal fold area shows up on the monitor. The thickness of the nuchal fold area is measured with calipers.
By evaluating the measurements of nuchal folds of thousands of fetuses between 11 and 14 weeks of gestation, researchers have been able to establish what a "normal" measurement is for each day of the three weeks studied. Then a statistical relationship is created between the nuchal fold measurement, the fetus' age, the mother's age, and the probability that the baby will be born with certain abnormalities. The doctor gives the patient the result in the form of a ratio that expresses the baby's chances for having a problem. For example a forty-year-old pregnant woman has a 1 in 77 chance of having a baby with Down syndrome. After she has a nuchal translucency test the doctor find the baby's nuchal fold to be thin for his age. The doctor enters the mother's age, the nuchal fold measurement, and the fetus' age in the risk assessment program. The result reveals that the baby's risk for having Down syndrome is now 1 in 761.
For the second part of the test a blood specimen is taken from the mother by a simple finger prick. The blood is then analyzed for two proteins, freeBeta-hCG and PAPP-A, normally found in the blood of all pregnant women. By combining the nuchal translucency results and blood ananlysis, the doctor can detect approximately ninety-percent of babies with Down syndrome and Trisomy 18. It is important to remember that the screening does not give a definite diagnosis, but the results can aid the patient in deciding whether or not to undergo more invasive diagnostic tests like CVS or amniocentesis.

GAME OVER:Start from the beginning and close all open spoiler buttons
DAY OVER: It's just a signal to mean you passed a day without dying.
You wake up in a mysterious island with no memories, you forgot your name, address, phone number and pretty much all your personal details. You are a hot gurl that might have got stranded after a sea cruise with your boyfriend. You look around and there are some points of interest.
Which would you like to examine first? (Multi-choice)
You see a hut in the middle of the forest, but since you can't really walk with your (noticed or unnoticed since you probably read this one first) bleeding leg, you crawl along the sandy coast of the beach to the edge of the forest. What now? (One-choice)
You try to scream for help, but you only successfully got blood inside your lungs so you drown in your own blood. Horrible. GAME OVER. Your body is found 3 days later.You crawl into the forest. Pain overwhelms you but you resist, what a strong woman you are! You eventually reach the hut. It's inhabitants notice you and brings you inside. They nurse you back to normal and you rest in your own room! DAY OVER.
You wake up in your room. You see a tray with a plate of bacon and eggs and a glass of milk. You decide to consume them. You take a quick shower and decide to go looking around.
Where would you like to go? (One-choice)
You go near the shipwreck but your instincts tell you not to, since it's still ablaze and you remember seeing oil leak out. You turn back and go somewhere else.You walk to the (Technically it's camouflaged, but this is a story) village and they welcome you warmly only to backstab you (Literally). Your body is then sacrificed to their gods. GAME OVER. You reincarnate exactly 3.5 years later as a chefYou sneak your way into the village. The (Crazy) villagers don't notice you and you stumble upon a treasury. Neat-o! What do your female desires want? You take some jewelery and jet. You sneak into a war preperation room and take a sword, a bow and some arrows (Also with a quiver). You sneakily exit the village.
You go back to the hut, enter your room and store everything you got there. You feel exhausted and decide to take a rest. You wake up for dinner and sleep again. DAY OVER.
You wake up and see a tray with a plate of spaghetti and a bowl of cereal. You decide to not touch the spaghetti and eat the cereal. You take a quick shower and decide to go outside for some adventuring. You take your bow and quiver. There seems to be an earthquake while you're sleeping, since there is a noticable crack on the ground. It seems to be enterable like a cave so you decide to explore a little bit. The path starts to fork to two directions.
Which would you like to travel down? (One-choice)
You go down the smaller and cracked path, you see magma spouting from the ground on the other path and you thank God for giving you another chance to live. You keep walking down until you see something... You can't make it out but it seems to be a memory of the past. Oh! Your memories are flooding back, you are overwhelmed with emotions and finally realize what it is, your basement! You recognize your own name, Jade!
You suddenly wake up in a hospital room. You see your whole family and your boyfriend around you, and you're lying on a bed. Seems like you were in a coma after a car accident and all that nonsense was just your imagination acting up. "Jade! You're okay after all!" your boyfriend hugs you and kisses you on the cheek. You see your parents crying with joy. "Ouch, Jack, I'm still a little hurt, y'know?" you say that out of reaction, "Ah, sorry. I was too excited, hehe" he says back.
And thus, you and Jack get married and have a family of your own. One day, someone knocks on your house door. You go down and open it, you're shocked as you see the hut's owner from the island you seem to be stranded at before. "Here, take this" they give you your sword you left behind at your room and when you take your sword, they disappear in a puff of smoke. Your sword seems to be real and you put it in a rack. "Hey, baby. What's that?" Jack says in amazement. "This is... a gift from a friend of mine" you say, and you see the house owner's eyes in the sword. GAME END!

You have seen Jade's life through her own eyes and now you have found the answer your life's purpose, 42!
You hear a faint whisper from Jade in your mind, "Hey, thanks for guiding me through my life! Though you did do something perverted while taking control over my body, hehe. See you in our next lives!"You go down the clearer and hotter path. You thought the air was hotter since it's deep underground, but eventually a splash of magma spouts from the ground to your exposed midriff, killing you slowly. GAME OVER.The shipwreck seems to have a lot of oil leaking out and it appears to be ablaze. You hope it doesn't explode since you're only 13 meters away.You have a curvy figure and long blonde hair that reaches your hips. You're wearing a slightly torn tank top and ripped jeans, you also have a bleeding wound on your leg from what appears to be a knife. Uhhh, help?

David, That looks pretty good. One detail though: you appear to follow XSLT 2.0 very well, except for the @case-order attribute. The last public CR of XSLT 2.0 defines the values as follows: case-order? = { "upper-first" | "lower-first" } but you use "lower-case" and "upper-case" instead. For consistency, I would strongly recommend following XSLT 2.0 (of course it may be that you have insider information about new values for these attributes ;-). -Erik David Landwehr wrote: > > Hi, > > I have created a set of extensions for sorting on exforms.org > (http://exforms.org/sorting.html).

I was going through my cookbook shelves this morning, looking for a recipe I use to make quite a bit when I was the dessert chef at Campagnola- Tiramisu.
I remember when I first made this recipe for the owner and head chef to try. I'd spent all morning preparing it then brought it down to the main kitchen to watch it disappear within seconds while the kitchen boys were left with moustaches of cream and sticky fingers to lick. I managed to save a couple of slivers for Steve and Vince to try and to get the go-ahead. I think it was a restaurant favourite but not quite as popular as the sticky date....but what is?
I was first shown this tiramisu recipe when working for the restaurant Zartowa, in Melbourne. Anthony was Head chef and always loved teaching new dishes to anyone who showed an interest. From the first time I made this I have never made tiramisu any other way. I know it works beautifully, looks insanely good when plated and tastes fantastic so why change?
OK so I have given you a bit of history with this dessert. I have made it hundreds of times, so when I came to finding my very first book of recipes
It is pretty typical for a chef to write, scribble or jot down words and numbers and call it a recipe. If it's a recipe used often then nine times out of ten you are just trying to jog your memory looking at the chicken scratch I happened to call a recipe all those years ago!
I have this ridiculous idea that I never need to write recipes in full when they're for my eyes only. I think to myself 'I make this all the time, I'll remember....how could I forget?'
Yeah well, news flash! My memory isn't what it use to be!
What was the temperature? How long do I bake it for? Method......??????
Damn you brain! Anyway I decided to try a bit of memory power and figuring out if it was a 2 or a 5 I wrote down all those years ago.
I am happy to report I think I did OK.
I have always been a hopeless theoretical person. Terrible at any type of exam, hopeless at spelling and couldn't remember a sequence of numbers five minutes after being told. I am however, very good at remembering movements, tactile events, flavours and faces of interest.
Once I weighed out the ingredients and started whisking the egg yolks and sugar over a pot of water, I instinctively started preparing the tray and other ingredients for the next steps. I went with my gut feeling and it paid off! The oven temp was a guess and I didn't set a timer for the sponge and was pretty happy with the outcome

- Can be made diary free
- LunchBox Idea
Chia pudding have to be ones of the easiest desserts to make…ever! And they are sooo versitile, lending themselves to all sorts of fab flavours. This berry one is one of The Monsters favorite flavours.
This recipe makes approximatly 400ml of pudding so you can divide it up as you please, it lasts about 3 days in the fridge but unfortunatly can't be frozen.
- 1 cup full fat milk (or your choice of non diary milk)
- 2 strawberries
- 1 small handful of blueberries
- 2 blackberries
- 2 heaped tablespoons black and white chia seeds
Place the milk and berries in a blender and whizz until smooth. Stir in the chia seeds and divide into small pots. Pop in the fridge for at least one hour, until thick, soft and delicious.
It's really that easy!
If the berries are a little bitter I add a tiny bit of honey just to sweeten things up.
Here are some other flavour ideas for you to try:
- Peach and mango
- Banana
- Banana and coco powder

As a RenEnergy employee, Mr. Doug Parsons had helped with the smooth running of hundreds of PV installations before finally deciding to invest in his own energy security. The exceptional quality of SunPower modules has proven itself repeatedly, giving Mr. Parsons no doubt that it was the right module to use on his own home.
The 25 year warrantee on the craftsmanship and linear output is not only industry leading, but bac up substantially with our own experience of the product and in SunPower's extensive case studies and analysis.
Performance is obviously a key priority for anyone considering solar PV. However in the domestic market, aesthetics feature a close second. As Mr. Parsons said; 'I am very house proud and have spent a lot of time getting my home just the way I like it. A neat, attractive PV array was always going to be as important, if not more so. Very pleased with how the SunPower panels look on my roof'.

Woodbank Lane: Decorating Your Front Porch for the Holidays (the Easy Way)13 Dec 2018
Time to dress up our homes, decorate the tree, do a bunch of shopping, and eat some fabulous food. The holidays are here! And for those of you who are hosting this year, that means lots of company. Ready to spruce up your front porch for holiday guests?
"A place for everything, and everything in its place." Nice idea in theory, right? Sometimes it's hard to find the perfect spot for the things we use daily. And if you're like me, you may not have a ton of cabinet and closet space, making storage at times a challenge. But that's okay; it doesn't all have to be tucked away and out of sight. With the right decorative container – box, bowl, basket, or tray – everything can have a place.
Hi there! I'm Kathryn, and here are a few creative storage ideas I've used in my home that might work for you as well.
Wandering around a thrift store is one of my favorite ways to pass some spare time. I love weaving in and out of the vendors' booths searching for unexpected treasures. All things vintage appeal to me. I find myself curious about what road the old stuff must have traveled before it landed on the shelves of the second-hand stores. Two things I'm always on the hunt for are blue and white ceramics and milk glass.
Hi there! I'm Kathryn, and here's how I use the vintage milk glass I collect.
Grabbing a can of spray paint is one of my favorite budget-friendly ways to change up the look of things in my home.
Hi there! I'm Kathryn, and here's one of my recent projects that even the newest of decorators can do.
I decided to paint a round, silver mirror that had served me well for years. It originally hung in our dining room, then made its way to the foyer. It's the first mirror of this shape and such a large size I've painted. It's 36 inches in diameter.
Last spring, I painted our red dining room white (my elbows still haven't recovered!), chose blue as the accent color, and decided to put the round mirror back in the dining room over the buffet.
I had painted many mirrors over the years without too much trouble; however, this round one was a bit trickier to paint and required more prep work.
I always liked the silver color and details of the mirror, and even though I'd had it for some time, I wasn't quite ready to let it go. So, I did what I do. I bought some Valspar spray paint at Lowe's. The color I used is called "Indigo."
Now, about that prep work ...
Very few areas of the mirror would allow me to simply slide paper under the edges. I had to use painter's tape on the spots with no space between the glass and the edge of the wood. And, I couldn't use big, long pieces; only short, small pieces would work because of the angle. Once the tape was on, I used my thumb nail to make a firm crease.
Next, I used a razor blade to carefully trim off the tape. Then, I sprayed away! The Valspar paint is great, but it does take its time to dry.
It turned out just like I hoped it would, and I love the navy color with the brass lamps and green apples. My favorite way to style it is with classic blue and white.
So, when you think it may be time for something in your home to go, buy a can of spray paint instead and extend the life of your piece.

I am a dreamer. A creative type. So, why wouldn't I blog about ripping everything out of a sleepy-but-good-boned, 1950s home? It's been an adventure. And one I wouldn't trade for the world. We're all moved in, and the renovation is complete (for the most part – we all know it's never really over).
We decided, at the recommendation of our fabulous local flooring guy, to keep the original pink marble in the foyer. You can imagine the commentary when I picked out the ceiling color to also be…you guessed it: pink.
Top Outdoor Entertaining Trends03 Aug 2015
By Tori Linville
If your deck or patio has seen more dried up leaves, stray grass and weeds this summer than actual activity, you might be in need of an outdoor living space overhaul. Or maybe you just don't feel like you're getting enough out of your outdoor space. Well, we've gathered three of outdoor entertainment's go-to and top trends to help you fix your outdoor woes in order to reach your seasonal escape.
First things first – start with an ideal outdoor room.
The classic outdoor room not only establishes an outdoor area, but also makes for a welcoming environment that guests will enjoy. The experts at bobvila.com have some great tips and tricks that make this seemingly overwhelming task a pretty easy fix.
· Start with a roof that frames your outdoor area – a pergola with some vine potential or even an awning are some options to check out. After dealing with the roof, go to the ground: lay out an outdoor rug that compliments your color scheme and/or outdoor furniture.
· Speaking of color schemes and what not, go for bulky(ish) furniture and earth tones that will obviously compliment the surroundings. Furniture pieces that allow for a guest to kick back and relax are almost always preferred over a dainty lawn chair (if those even exist). Easy care fabrics are an obvious choice for weather-wear.
· Lastly, add some lighting. String lights here are a popular craze, but anything you prefer will do. Just as long as you have some to illuminate the area when it's dark out.
Check out more info. here on how to get the perfect backyard escape.
Next up: an unforgettable grill
If there's one trend that will never go out of style, it's the outdoor stovetop otherwise known as a grill.
High-tech grills with tons of features can be found virtually everywhere. For example, the Saber Smart Edge Grill was Consumer Reports' favored grill with infrared top and optional ceramic glass lid. If watching the food slowly cook wasn't enough, the grill hooks up to WiFi so a phone can keep track of when to cook, when to clean and when to fuel up.
If you're looking for a more straightforward number, other Consumer Reports grills included the Weber Spirit E-220, the Weber Spirit SP-320 and a Kenmore grill. See them (and other cooking gadgets) here.
Lastly, throw in a fire pit for a multipurpose focal point
Don't actually throw one, but you get the point. Fire pits have been all the rage for a while and for good reason. As a center point for décor arrangements, the fire pit isn't just for show. It's also warmth, light and even serves as a Smores maker.
Also, it's probably one of the biggest draws for winter outdoor entertainment (if you're brave enough). That being said, a fire pit practically pays for itself.
Consumer Reports likes the Alfresco Fire N Table, Forshaw and Waterstone for a variety of reliable and quality fire pits.
Honorable Mention: outdoor movies, anyone?
A new, refreshing entertainment piece is the re-emergence of the outdoor screen for at-home enjoyment (in place of drive-thru movies, of course).
While a projector would be necessary, a screen could just as easily be made with some bed sheets and nails. If you're feeling the outdoor movie vibe like we were, all you need is a blank wall (or screen) to get started!
Full outdoor entertainment systems are available on sites like Amazon but first, check out this article to see what it takes to blow away your guests with your outdoor film.

Jackie Chan and his Kung Fu Yoga crew returned to Downtown Dubai this week to film a car chase on Burj Khalifa St.
The roads near the South Ridge Community were blocked off on Tuesday morning between 8 and 10am, as a fleet of Dubai Police luxury cars appeared to be chasing a yellow Lamborghini. Ambulances and trucks with film equipment could be seen on another road. Filming also took place on Monday at the same location.
Little is known about the script of Chan's next film, except that it is an Indian-Chinese production, and that Bollywood actor Sonu Sood is in it.
Kung Fu Yoga is on a 33-day filming schedule in Dubai and the crew have been spotted all over the city's landmarks since they arrived in September.
They presence coincides with the filming of a Hollywood blockbuster Star Trek Beyond.
Jamal Al Sharif, the chairman of Dubai Film and TV Commission and managing director of Dubai Studio City, told tabloid! in September that he was very excited to welcome Chan and his production team to the city.
"The UAE is becoming an increasingly popular destination for Hollywood and Bollywood productions, and the filming of Kung Fu Yoga in Dubai is another major boost for our film industry," he said.

Lansing, Mich., native and former basketball star Magic Johnson has opened centers in Atlanta, Chicago, and Houston devoted to his goal of making sure every child knows how to use a computer. On May 15, he opened one in his hometown, too.
The 11th Magic Johnson HP Inventor Center at Lansing's Black Child and Family Institute features $60,000 in equipment donated by Hewlett-Packard Co. The 17-year-old institute helps more than 3,000 adults and children each year.
"Young people need to be guided," Johnson told the Lansing State Journal for a May 16 story. "They need to be touched. They need to know someone cares about them. They have that here."
Despite the rain and cold, about 300 people stood outside to hear Johnson speak and honor his contribution to the community he grew up in.
Johnson led his Everett High School basketball team to the state championship in 1977 and Michigan State University to the NCAA title in 1979 before enjoying a successful career with the Los Angeles Lakers.
"It's one of the most wonderful things to happen since Magic was on the basketball court," Lansing resident Claudine Walker said about the center.
Ten-year-old Kris Pratt wasted no time exploring one of the new computers.
"They've got a whole bunch of stuff kids can use," the youngster said, already thinking of the possibilities. "If you have to write an essay, you don't have to use a pencil and write it down."
The center's offerings include 20 computers, printers, digital cameras, and a digital projector. It will be open to the public except when in use by a special class or session.
The center's goal is to provide opportunities for people who don't have access to the internet or aren't computer savvy. Particularly at risk are certain minority groups, the elderly, and people with disabilities, program personnel explained.
"The gap continues to exist and is growing in the area of technology," said Barbara Roberts Mason, the founder of the Black Child and Family Institute. "We have to eliminate that gap. It should not exist."
The centers are part of a partnership between HP and the Magic Johnson Foundation. Five more are planned, including centers scheduled to open in Cleveland and Baltimore. Locations for the other three will be announced later.
