An 18-year career which has spanned from non-league football to scoring goals on a regular basis, Peter Weatherson is a striker who made an impact at every club he has played for. With just over 500 appearances and close to 150 goals to his name, we have a look back at the Englishman's career.
Peter, who was born in North Shields, expressed an interest in football at a very young age.
"My dad played football at amateur level, so that was my introduction as a young lad. I continued into boys club then I became semi-professional when I was 16, with Newcastle Blue Star. I'll be honest, football is all I know and all I've ever wanted to know. Football was always my main focus and there wasn't anything else I was really interested in."
Newcastle Blue Star.
"I played Sunday morning football with a number of players from Newcastle Blue Star. It was just a little bit of fun on a Sunday morning for them, and for me, but because I was doing so well they invited me along. It was a friend of the family – that was the first link. I had some great times there; I was looked after really well – there were people picking me up and dropping me off as I was only 16, just approaching 17. They took me under their wing and it was a great grounding for me. I had to grow up very quickly, to be honest."
In the summer of 2000, Weatherson made the move to professional football for the first time, after joining Dumfries side, Queen of the South.
"There was a team called Ashington [who were in the same league as Newcastle Blue Star], which at that time was managed by a guy called John Connolly. He got the manager's job at Queen of the South and I had been doing really well for Newcastle Blue Star. The invitation came after I received a phone call from Iain Scott, who had just taken up the role of Assistant Manager and who I had known previously. The club spoke to my family, because I would need to move away and obviously I was still a young lad," explains Weatherson. "It was never a hard decision for me; I did have to speak to my parents and take their opinion on board – but, my mind was already made up. It was clearly a better level than that I was playing in Newcastle."
Peter is notorious for his versatility which began at Queen of the South, where he was moved from his customary striking role.
"To be honest, from an early age, I had a good understanding of football. I always listened – people say you need to be like a sponge – take as much information in as you can and I have done that ever since. Even from an early age, I felt like I could play in any position, outwith goalkeeper. I felt like I could understand any position and play in any position. I loved scoring goals, that was my main attribute, I think, but there was a lot more to my game: I played central and right midfield, it was great! It was all self-taught – looking back at the younger years of my career, there wasn't much coaching. At Newcastle Blue Star, there was only a couple of structured drills, but apart from that, there wasn't any individual coaching or anything."
Moving up to the senior ranks was a nerve-racking time for Weatherson.
"I was nervous; it was the fear of the unknown. I had confidence, I have always been that kind of person. But, I didn't know what to expect. What helped me was that there was a good contingent of people who signed for Queen of the South at that time that had came up from Newcastle. We all travelled together – that really helped me settle in. Once I got my foot in the door, I had a good feeling about it. I knew it could be a good spell for myself, I just needed to knuckle down and go for it."
In his first season, he scored 20 goals in 40 appearances. Weatherson also picked up his first professional red card.
"I think the red card incident, against East Stirling I think, wasn't a red card. I know the referee, Cammy Melville, as a good friend now and even he thinks it wasn't a red card, looking back, so I don't think we should count that one! The people were fantastic; the crowds, the coaching staff and all the players – we had a good group there supporting each other and as a young lad, that was really helpful. Collectively, the way the club embraced me made it a great start."
The following season, Queen of the South won the Second Division.
"I don't think there was that expectation at the time [to go and win the league]. I'm not someone who enters a competition to finish second so it was always my aim, even at a young age, to drive people on, get the bit between their teeth and meet those goals. But once the season started to kick in – and the quality players we had shone through: Derek Lyle, John O'Neil, Jim Thomson… there was a great bunch of players in that dressing room, big personalities, and as the season went on you could just tell as we gathered momentum. There were a couple of wee blips in there, but, we were the best team in the league and we all gathered that after the first quarter. I think we played Forfar and we beat them and that secured the title. I scored a couple that day. The celebrations – wow, absolutely fantastic. I embraced it [the occasion and the pressure of winning the title vs Forfar]. I remember being choked up before the game, due to what was at stake. The boys were getting geared up before the game but I was sitting there with a lump in my throat – I remember the feeling as if it was yesterday. I remember walking out and saying to myself, "this is the day, it is going to happen". They kicked off after we scored the third goal and the tears were dripping off of me, I will never, ever, forget it. I only moved away from home 18 months before that and to be so successful, get a winners medal, which hundreds and hundreds of football players go through their whole career and don't get, then to do it so soon into my career was fantastic."
After a successful spell in Dumfries, Weatherson attracted interest from elsewhere, eventually moving on to Greenock Morton.
"[Moving to Queen of the South] really helped my transition – moving from semi-professional down in Newcastle and coming into the professional leagues. The transition was really smooth but I just thought, at that point, I needed full-time training. At that time, we were only part-time at Queen of the South and I was doing a bit on my own, I was working as well. I felt my performances warranted a crack at it. I spoke to John Connolly about it and he said there were two offers – this was during the following season. They served their purpose. I love the club and I still have fond memories of them, but I really just needed full-time. I think Partick Thistle offered £20,000 and Morton offered £30,000 – so Queen of the South were obviously favouring Morton. To be honest, I didn't really care: I would've spoken to both managers if the opportunity had arisen. I was told they had accepted the bid from Morton and they hadn't heard anything back from Partick Thistle. It was then just going and speaking to John McCormack, the then manager of Morton; they were a club on the up – they had just won the Third Division, the whole town was buzzing and it was a joy to go join the club."
Part Two of this interview will follow tomorrow where Peter talks about his time at Greenock Morton.

A lot of the story takes place in the strip club where Kylie is covering for her twin sister, Stacy, while she heals from a broken leg. Being identical twins, they pull the whole "switcharoo" thing a lot. However, when Kylie stumbles across a murder scene her first night of being Stacy, she finds herself smack dab in the middle of a investigation. That's when she realizes that the man that she gave a lap dance to and who she couldn't seem to keep her eyes off of, is the detective leading the case on the murders. It seems the murderer has a thing for taking out Stacy's regulars, so Detective Travis, decides to become one of Stacy's regulars in hopes of solving the case. There are a lot of steamy scenes in this story. Travis pays for a VIP room every night that Kylie works. He has no idea that she's not really Stacy and Kylie has no intention of telling him, considering it would cause Stacy to lose her job and possibly put Kylie in hot water for lying to a cop. So she plays the part and shows Travis what each of her regulars like when they request a private show. "Unfortunately, "romantic" didn't really describe the current situation. Dirty Dancing for a hot cop who would probably toss her in jail and throw away the key if he knew she's lied about her identity and impeded his investigation? Not romantic. Try scary, dangerous, reckless." There's also the suspense of the fact that the murderer is still out there with a connection to Stacy. So not only does Kylie have to be cautious, but with Travis playing his role, he puts himself in the hot seat to be next on the killers list. So there is always that game of, who's the murderer? This may have been the first book by Samanthe's that I've read but it won't be the last. I like that she doesn't go over board in explaining things and has a way of bringing you close to the characters without a lengthy back story. She throws you right into the story and keeps you there right until the last word.
nice read, characters were nicely developed and you can relate to them, which is important. Nice story twists and hot sex, it's a win-win situation for all.
Oh goodie! I didn't know this was the start of a series! The other brothers are mentioned in this book but don't really have a role. I am will definitely read the rest of these books. This book has a great mistaken identity plot. I thought the heroine could have come clean earlier but this is a small quibble. The writer creates a wonderful smart hot hero and thoughtful well drawn drawn heroine. The chemistry between them is smokin' and feels real. The romantic gesture at the end of the book by the hero is one of the best I have ever read. The secondary characters could have been more richly drawn to make this five star book but overall this book is a charmer where the murder investigation and the character driven love story balance each other well. I think this is the third book I have read by this publisher and I have to say I am impressed with Entangled. These are smart sexy category ebooks that are so readable and yet linger in my mind because of the quality of the writing. I hate the titles. The books are good, reread able, and memorable. The titles are forgettable and worse than that diminish the books by making them seem like they came out of a romance novel factory rather than out of the hands of talented writers and staff. Most of these books won't be romance novel classics, but I bet this line will produce some surprises. However, I know know this publisher will create many favorites to snuggle up with and reread. It would be great if the titles matched the quality of the book. The blurbs need some work as well. They are often slightly off. The cover design gives these books a unique band and when I see these kinds of covers I will think, Oh goodie! I am gonna to likely buy that book. I was given this book for my honest review.
A quiet yoga instructor pretending to be a stripper while her twin sister recovers from a broken leg and a cop, two unlikely pairs, according to Kylie. There was lust, love, humor, suspense and mystery. I really like this book and the connection between Trevor and Kylie. It was a perfect combination of fantasy and reality. It wasn't just another romance novel, but it had suspense and risk, and I really liked that aspect of it. I found myself wanting to shake Kylie and tell her to open her eyes to what was in front of her, but thankfully it played out perfectly. Lover Undercover is a quick and fun read. I read it in one sitting and enjoyed every minute of it. I can't wait to read more from Samanthe Beck.
WOW! This book was crazy hot! I adore the Brazen line from Entangled and this book was no exception! The story was great, the characters were sexy and the scenes - well, you will not regret this purchase! I stumbled across it last night and read the whole thing before bed. Ridiculously good stuff!
Lover Undercover is the second of Samanthe Beck's books I've had the pleasure to read. I received this book as an ARC. The sexual tension explodes between Trevor and Kylie from the beginning and only gets hotter and sexier as you turn each page. Trevor is totally an Alpha, but so kind and considerate...and sooo hot!!! He's got a much softer, sweeter side to him, he's intelligent and perceptive, it doesn't take him too long to figure out the girl "Stacy" he knows is really Kylie, I oved the problems this predictament brings about, both obvious and subtle. I have to admit, the opening scene, when Kylie she does her very first lap dance, with Trevor, had me cracking up, and things just kept getting more and more intense from there. With plenty of tension, both sexual and otherwise, along with a fabulously done murder mystery plot and add in sharp witted dialogue, chemistry abound between all characters and the humor, this becomes a definite a hit. Donna B
Holly Smokes!! To be very honest I never really much card for plain romance novels. Yet I was pulled into this one hook line and sunk! I really enjoyed it. It's a story of Dreams that you aspire to. At least for Kylie and Stacy twines from a small town where no one thought they would amount to much, so on to the big city of L.A. When Stacy is hurt at work her twin Kylie takes over her job so they do not end up homeless. When Kylie/ Stacy stumbles on to a dead body, she is thrown into Detective Trevor McCade's Investigation of the dead man. As Kylie has to pretend she is her sister Stacy things become difficult as the dead man happens to be a client As Detective Trevor McCade goes undercover at her job to catch the killer their attraction for one other is undeniable. Yet he knows her as Stacy not Kylie will the truth be their undoing? Will they catch the killer?? This is a book worth reading!
Holy cow!!! Fantastic story and great writer!! A must read!! Thank you Samanthe!!!!!! Can't was for more!! Monia L. Luna
Great story, great characters, and WOW that private dancing! Couldn't put the book down. (200 pgs)
For one thing it was a captivating story. I can't resist a captivating story. Who doesn't love a story with twins who switch places to help each other. However, it doesn't bode well for Kylie Roberts who is filling in for her sister, Stacy, at the strip club. You know finding a dead body after work and realizing you met the Detective while at work. Sounds like a lot of fun. I really like Kylie, because she's the polar opposite of her sister who is identical in looks. I like that she's more than a pretty face and wants to make it on her own. Plus, to prove the people back that she become better than her mother. Detective Trevor McCade wants to solve this case. However, he's really drawn to Kylie. *possible spoiler* However, he did do a big no-no in the book. My mouth just drop, because it's the first rule when bedding a woman. Don't say another name in the midst of passion. Other than he's a really decent guy. I did really like Lover Undercover, even when I'm not a fan of women who use their past to avoid a perfect guy. However, I love how Trevor and he really aim to win her heart. Towards the end everything happens really fast, but the ending is still satisfying. So, if you are looking for a hot detective and a twin willing to help her sister even when it's a bad idea, you might enjoy Undercover Lover. Who knows you might uncover a love? Copy provide by publisher
Lover Undercover was one of those books that you absolutely fall for the hero. In this case it is a undercover police officer working for LAPD, named Trevor McCade. He just so happens to catch a show at the upscale strip club, Deuces, when he is captivated by one of the dancers. Kylie Roberts is a sweet girl who always tries to do the right thing, and doesn't let emotions get in the way of what she needs to do to succeed. Yet, there she is dancing on stage taking her clothing off so she is able to pay the bills. Damn her twin sister Stacy for getting hurt on the job and now poor Kylie is stuck going something totally out of her element, and against everything she wanted to be. As she is dancing she scans the audience and one man catches her eye. Later that night something awful happens, Kylie finds a battered dead body behind the dumpsters right out side Deuces. When the police come to question her, there is none other than the sexy stranger that caught her eye while up on stage, and he is with LAPD. She has no other choice but to play the charade that she is Stacy. Eventually Trevor figures out what Kylie was hiding and uses her to help solve the case. During that time they both figure out that there is much more between them than the need to find the murderer. I thought that this book was very steamy, and who doesn't love a good mystery mixed in with the sexy scenes. It keeps you captivated! Trevor is that fantasy police man that makes your pulse quicken, and what he does in the epilogue is AAAAHHHH! Read this and you wont be disappointed!
This is the second book I've read by Ms. Beck and I have to say she's my new favorite author! I loved Private Practice and just adored Undercover Lover. In Undercover Lover Kylie Roberts, the good twin has been covering for her sister, Stacy most of their live. When Stacy breaks her leg, Kylie steps into the role of stripper at Deuces a high end club in L.A. It's either strip or not make rent. Kylie and Stacy moved from Two Trout, Tennessee to escape their pasts and the stigma of their mother for a new life in LA. Kylie is working towards opening her own yoga studio and Stacy is auditioning for dance/film roles. When a patron at Deuces is murdered and there's a possible link to Stacy, enter Detective McDreamy in the form of Trevor McCade. Swoon, ladies, swoon. He was at the club earlier as a patron and was on the receiving end of one of Kylie's lap dances, but there's something about her he can't put his finger on. An innocence that doesn't mesh with the girl and the job. (We find out more about the innocence later.) Called into investigate, Detective McDreamy finds it difficult to hide his feelings for Kylie who he wants to protect professionally and personally. Kylie finds the deception of lying to Trevor about being Stacy getting harder as she's scared of what she feels for him. She's come to L.A to make something of her life and fears getting sidetracked and not living her dreams. When the dam finally breaks both are forced to examine what they feel for each other in the cold light of day. The added sense of suspense in the book kept me up into the small hours. I had no idea where the story was going and the conclusion was riveting, unexpected and awesome. Apart from being brilliantly written and plotted, this book has laugh out loud humor. I love when a book can make me laugh. The emotion Ms. Beck brings to the table are honest and heartfelt. I loved the secondary characters in this book and just adored the stripper family which brought a charming warmth to the story. The sex scenes are hot. Fire extinguisher hot and fit with the tone of story. I loved Kylie and Trevor. Kylie has an innocence but strength to her that I admired. She's someone I'd like to sit down with over a glass of wine. Trevor is just smoking hotness, strong, caring but with a strength and kindness that had me melting. I hope some of the girls at Deuces get their own story by Ms. Beck. I cannot wait to read Stacy's story and hope it is soon. This is one fine writer. One page-turning read. You will not be disappointed.
Another great hit for Ms. Beck! Loved the characters. Look forward to reading future novels. Ms. Beck is most assurdly becoming a raging hit. She gets my vote. Thank you and keep up the great writing! JR
Samanthe Beck just continues to make me happy with her handsome characters, smoldering plot lines, and amazing writing. I cannot believe this is only her second book; she is a terrific writer. This book held many moments that were filled with these lustful, intense scenes between Kylie and Trevor and I found myself loving every lap dance she gave him. It was super hot. Their tension between each other was perfectly written and solo moments made me forget that there was even a killer out on the loose. Trevor did it for me. There was just something about his character that made him stand out from most of all the other books I read (and all the main male characters I fall in love with.) He was a good guy, a detective, however he had this bad boy side to him that pushed him farther into doing naughty things with Kylie in the private room. Have I mentioned to you that the private room scenes are super hot? But he was also so sweet to Kylie after she finds the dead body that it is impossible for him not to win your heart over. So to sum it up, Lover Undercover is amazing if you are looking for a quick, dirty read. And the epilogue left me smiling like a goof ball. ~BookWhisperer Reviewer MC~
## HOLY HOTNESS BATMAN. This book is SPECTACULAR. The story is fun and flirty and the crime-drama element added just the right amount of intrigue. The characters Ms. Beck created were amazing. I adored the heroine and the hero was hotness personified. Omg, I thought I would combust during the private dance scenes. Yowza, those were sexy. I loved this book, as well as Samantha's Private Practice so much, that I already purchased Stacy and Ian's story. Please, keep 'em coming Ms. Beck.
Fast-paced, Sizzling, Satisfying!!! OK, first of all, I need to get my swooning out of the way, so here goes...*Swoon* Trevor!!! Holy HELL, he's one HOT detective!!! Good girl, Kylie Roberts is pretending to be her twin, Stacy, as an exotic dancer at a strip club. Kylie gets more than she bargained for when she discovers a dead body in the parking lot. Suddenly, she's thrown right in the middle of a murder investigation. As she aids Detective Trevor McCade in drawing out the killer, things heat up quickly in the VIP room...with lots of dirty dancing! Wow! This is my first read from a new author, and I must say that Lover Undercover turned out to be more than what I expected. I found most of the situations Beck put Kylie and Trevor in to be deliciously compromising. Many times you can feel the chemistry between them reach a boiling point. Kylie is adorable, willing to help, and goal-oriented. I loved how Trevor is incredibly perceptive and knew from the beginning that there was something Kylie was hiding. Another thing that I enjoyed was that the mystery part kept me guessing whodunnit. Really, I had no idea until the identity of the murderer was revealed. The epilogue was so cute and satisfying that I couldn't stop giggling and smiling! Samanthe Beck knows how to create lively scenes that flow seamlessly from one scene to the next making this story fast-paced and engaging. I had so much fun reading this that I'm looking forward to reading her other book, Private Practice. Do you want to escape reality for a bit? Lover Undercover is for those who seek a quick, pleasurable, and steamy read with a little mystery. I guarantee that you'll be swooning for Trevor, too! ***A complimentary copy was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.***
SEXY! Samanthe Beck's second novel from Entangled's Brazen line is sexy and unexpected in the best of ways. I love the addition of suspense to Ms. Beck's humor and hot romance. Great primary and secondary characters, interesting plot and Los Angeles is the perfect backdrop for this cop meets erotic dancer story. And yes, the erotic dancing scenes/setting, are, well, pretty erotic, so, it's one hot read, but Kylie and Trevor are also sweet characters who come together (yes, I said it) in a romantic relationship readers will believe in. Only when question: When's the next one? Will it feature Ian and Stacy?
Kylie Roberts has a twin sister, Stacy, who is an aspiring actress. While working toward that goal she is working as a stripper. When a customer got rough with her she ended up with a broken leg. The loss of her job and the good money that she makes would leave both girls without a place to live. So, Kylie, the quiet and shy twin must fill in for her wild sister at the strip club. When leaving the club after her first night on the job, she realizes that she forgot her expensive boots. She headed back to the club for the boots and found a man in the parking lot that had been beaten to death. The police are brought into the story and the investigation begins. I started reading this book shortly before my normal bed time figuring that I'd read a chapter or two and then go to bed. By 4 AM I realized that I was reading one of those books that you just can't put down. The characterization is wonderful. Sexy, stuborn, wild, Stacy and her twin sister, Kylie who is fairly quiet and shy and the 'smart one' are two of the main characters. Both girls are beautiful, shapley and sexy as hell. Then there is the lead detective, Trevor who falls in love with Kylie. His partner, Ian is a lesser character, but sill in the action. All good people and likable characters. The plot holds mystery, suspense, and a good bit of sexual tension. The authors voice makes this an easy... flowing read. I was pulled into the story imediately and didn't want to let it go. I recieved an ARC of this book for an honest review. I very honestly loved the book!
I liked this book
love THIS author started with the 1st book I will read them all they are that good.
Awsome book . Love the character's.
A good read
All the Entangled series is good

Hotel Parma & Congressi We have a handicap placket for our car. When we arrived in the afternoon, there were a few spaces in front of the hotel, specified for handicap parking only. When we arrived later that evening after a dinner in the city, all the spaces were filled, and out of 5, only 1 car had a disabled notice in the window. We had to park our car in the rear of the parking lot. We also asked for the internet availability, and he never gave us the cable, so we had to return to get one. We had trouble with the tv, and called down to have someone come up and look at it. No one came. When we went downstairs for breakfast, we reminded him that we had called down and no one came up to look at the tv, and that there was something wrong with it.

If you're a fan of the old sit-com Green Acres, you know the attraction (to some) of the bucolic rural life – honest work, fresh air, and all that. And farmhouses, barns and silos.
Tough to beat a silo as an iconic image of the farming life, but they are to be avoided when it comes to content marketing. In fact, we have a strict "no silos" policy, as I discuss in my latest Biznology column.
The reason is simple: as much as any one person or department may know about your message, your goals, and your competitive landscape, two heads are almost always better than one. Add in a third perspective and the difference isn't additive – 1+1+1 doesn't equal 3. It equals much more effective marketing.
It's also a lot more fun working across departmental boundaries. Check out the full article to see why. Your content marketing will be better, your team will be happier, and your bottom line will benefit.

Kevin McCullough had an interesting piece posted today, 8/19/07, on Townhall.com entitled "Radical Gay Activist: 'We Lose'" The premise of Mr. McCollough's piece was that, since bisexuals are, well, bisexual, and therefore are attracted to both genders, that being gay is therefore a choice. Based on this lapse of logic, he then goes on to claim that, being he has exposed, if you will, that gays choose to be gay, that he has therefore won the entire gay rights debate, and demonstrated that being gay relationships are on par with adultery, incest and pedophilia.
Why does this matter? Simple. Fundamentalist Christians see, literally, everything in black and white. You are either right or wrong, righteous or evil, straight or pervert, normal or flawed. It is this black and white thinking that makes it difficult for them to grasp the concept of diverse human sexuality (similar to how the church was unable to grasp the concept of a round earth a few hundred years ago). If sexuality is something you choose, they reason, then you are simply a freak for choosing something other than being straight, and, therefore, they are morally justified in their persecution. If it is a psychological disorder - an idea that is rejected by all reputable psychologists, psychiatrists and the APA - then they are still justified, in their minds, to persecute because gays can choose to get cured. If, however, sexuality isn't a choice or a disorder - if it is an individual trait like hair color, eye color, or height - then they will have a harder time convincing the flock to oppose rights for sexual minorities.
At the same time they are declaring homosexuality to be a choice, the fundamentalists are running "camps" and "counseling" programs to "cure" people of homosexuality. Despite the fundamental rejection, and warnings of potential damage, of this type of "therapy" by the field of psychology, fundamentalists persist in their modern day inquisition. While fundamentalists tout success, the recidivism rate, even among their leadership, shows this to be a sham.
The notion of being gay being a choice would be laughable if it were not so tragic. No other minority group in this nation faces the prospect of losing friends and being rejected by family for being who they are. Gays are the only minority group in America it is fashionable to hate. Gays can be fired from their job and evicted from their homes just for being gay. Gay teens are two to three times more likely to attempt suicide than straight teens. Yeah, its an attractive proposition, isn't it?
Of course, the only person who truly knows what goes on in a person's mind is that person. Ask any gay person if they chose to be gay, and the answer will be no. Gay people are just gay, we didn't choose to be gay any more than fundamentalists choose to be straight. However, fundamentalists seem to reason that, since gays are perverts, they must be liars as well. Since they compare gays to pedophiles and persons who commit bestiality and incest, I guess liar is more of a compliment. Despite the protests of the fundamentalists, gay people are who we are, and we have the right to be who we are. We should not have to hide to satisfy a group who hates in the name of God.

Sri Lanka Mental Health Placement 2018
My Travel Story
On 23rd July 2018 I will be extremely excitedly, yet nervously, boarding a plane to Sri Lanka to undertake a 5 week voluntary mental health placement with SLV. SLV is a UK based voluntary organisation that runs projects to help the local community, whilst simultaneously allowing volunteers to gain invaluable work experience in the mental-health sector.
I am a second year BSc (Hons) Psychology student and my ultimate career ambition is to become a Registered Clinical Psychologist. I believe the experience in Sri Lanka would be incredibly beneficial in helping me to achieve this. Competition nationally for postgraduate training in Clinical Psychology is fierce and it is important therefore to develop skills and experience with a range of client groups in addition to academic study. My hope is that this experience will be one way to really help me to stand out from the crowd.
Once in Sri Lanka, I will be working with a range of people with mental health issues at varying stages of their recovery. Unfortunately, in Sri Lanka there are few practicing psychologists and beds in psychiatric hospitals, so the primary method of treatment is pharmacological. Working as an Activity Support Worker, myself along with other volunteers, will work as a team to engage individuals in mentally stimulating activities. These activities could range from sporting activities such as cricket or dance, to creative activities such as making dream catchers. Whatever the activity, the overall aim is to increase service users' self-confidence and wellbeing in a stimulating environment.
In addition, I will also be teaching English to a wide variety of people. This could include students in a school, members of the local community or even individuals who've travelled for miles just for our lessons. Learning English hugely enhances career prospects for these individuals as well as improving their confidence.
Furthermore, I will also be working with individuals with special needs, in particular those with autism or brain injuries. My previous experience of working with the charity KIDS, will be greatly beneficial in helping me to come up with a range of physical and mental activities and provide a creative, stimulating environment for these individuals. Another project I will be working on, will be teaching English to children through extracurricular English lessons. SLV has a partnership with multiple primary schools, children's development centres and after school clubs, where volunteers like myself will be role models to the children, who are often from marginalised backgrounds.
Finally, I will have the opportunity to take part in a field visit and workshops run by Samutthana, the King's College London Centre for Trauma, Displacement and Mental Health. During the field visit, I will gain a deeper understanding of how mental health treatment works in a completely different culture, through shadowing and working with a mental health professional. As part of the field visit, I may be working in an addiction centre, hospital or in the community, improving my understanding of mental health globally and the approaches different cultures take in treatment of mental health. Through the workshops, I will also learn more about mental health in Sri Lanka, with previous themes including 'Trauma from a Sri Lankan Perspective' and 'PTSD and the Future of Sri Lanka.' After the boxing day tsunami hitting Sri Lanka in 2004 and years of civil conflict, it will be incredibly moving yet interesting from a psychology student's perspective to be able to aid in treatment of the fallout from these disasters.
I will be living alongside other volunteers with a local Sri Lankan family for the duration of my placement, so I will be completely immersed in the culture from the moment I step off the plane. I am incredibly excited to learn about the Sri Lankan customs, try on a beautiful traditional Sari and of course learn to cook and eat traditional Sri Lankan curry (which I will attempt to recreate when I return home).
Not only will this placement be incredibly rewarding and beneficial for my future career, but it will also immensely improve my self-confidence. This time last year I wouldn't have even considered applying for the placement opportunity, due to my own struggles with anxiety over the last three years. However, I am now more determined than ever to complete this challenge I have set, whilst working on my own mental health in the process. Thank you for taking the time to read about my placement. I hugely appreciate any contribution and am incredibly thankful in advance for your generosity and support.

True Grit (1969)
I hesitated about putting True Grit on this list because my previous experience was with the 2010 Coen brothers remake which lifted at least 85% of this film, verbatim. True Grit also boasts a mixed history, with Wayne openly railing against the finished product, and thinking his Oscar win for the role – the only one in his career – was undeserved. That's a tall order of dislike, and I certainly had trouble connecting to this film from a narrative perspective. And while Wayne felt the Oscar wasn't earned – and it was to a point – his performance is the best the film has to offer. Mattie Ross (Kim Darby) is intent on killing the man who murdered her father. She enlists the help of U.S. Marshal, Rooster Cogburn (Wayne) to find the man and kill him.
Unfortunately, the best way for me to review this film is to compare it to the 2010 remake. Outside of an extended epilogue in the remake, these movies are practically twins. The plots are the same, and several sequences and lines of dialogue are transplanted entirely from this film to the other. With all that, there was little suspense or unpredictability; I knew everything that was going to happen. It's not to say the story isn't engaging. Mattie Ross' determination to avenge her father's death propels the movie forward, and the final gunbattle between Rooster and "Lucky" Ned Pepper (Robert Duvall) is intense, especially as Rooster charges into the fray, reins in the teeth, guns blazing.
Wayne and several Oscar pundits at the time believed he won the Best Actor award in 1970 (trumping Richard Burton for Anne of the Thousand Days) for sentimental reasons; the award was a lifetime achievement Oscar, meted out to him before his death. It's the "You're going to die sooner rather than later, so here's an Oscar." It happens a lot, and I agree with Wayne; he should have won for The Searchers more than any other film in his filmography. Rooster Cogburn is a character, a loveable drunkard with as staunch a grip on killing as he does on drinking. Wayne's portrayal is leaps and bound above the caricature Jeff Bridges created in the 2010 film. Where Bridges was a drunken coot with a screw loose, Wayne is firmly grounded in reality. When Rooster's questioned as a witness for his excessive violence, Wayne, in a matter-of-fact tone, asks the lawyer if he means "shot or killed?" He's created a bold distinction between the two, and finds it should make sense to everyone, not just him. This is Wayne's film, and he holds up the burden left by the weaknesses of Kim Darby and Glen Campbell. Without Wayne, True Grit would lack any of the latter.
It isn't that Darby or Campbell are terrible, just poorly unprepared for working alongside Wayne. Wayne cast a long shadow and he worked best with actors he respected, whose personas were on par with his own (Maureen O'Hara, Jimmy Stewart, Robert Mitchum). Darby's performance is where the remake wins out. Darby was not Wayne's first choice for the role – he wanted Karen Carpenter. He saw Darby as uppity, which could have been a little Method acting, maybe? (He also hated Duvall who studied The Method.) Unfortunately, Darby's know-it-all attitude comes off as maladroit. A line like "I won't rest till Tom Chaney's barking in Hell" should conjure up all the hurt and sadness Mattie's feeling, but hiding so as to act adult. Darby says it as if she's picking up her laundry. Mattie Ross is a child masking her pain in adulthood, a theme lost with the 22-year-old Darby. Hailee Steinfeld in the original walks the walk of the character, letting the child in her come out in rare moments and inserting emotion into her dialogue.
The character of La Boeuf hasn't worked in either version, whether it's Campbell or Matt Damon. La Bouef buys into his own hype. He thinks he can sell ice to an Eskimo and hits a wall when he meets Mattie. The romance angle never goes further than casual interest, although the dialogue's less weird between Campbell and Darby as it was between Damon and Steinfeld. Campbell's serviceable in a shallow character that neither actor over two films has succeeded with.
The grittiness of True Grit can't be denied. I missed an opportunity watching the remake before, but going back to the original allowed me a great understanding of what worked, and didn't, in each incarnation. If you want a fantastic Rooster Cogburn, there's none better than Wayne. If you're looking for a more engaging Mattie Ross, you're better off with the remake. Since both narratives are identical, either one works story-wise. I will say the remake yielded a better Mattie Ross costume for Halloween. Unfortunately, no one knew who I was.

Michael Carballo, CeeGramz, is from Camden, New Jersey. With influential figures such as Tupac and the Wu Tang Clan, he began rapping and producing beats at the age of eight to keep himself off the streets but eventually got caught up selling drugs when he was 16. It took one scare from a detective that would change the route his life was headed. CeeGramz took a break from music and enrolled himself in the Army where he did two tours in Iraq but found himself pimping as well. He became honorably discharged and decided that music was his one and only true passion causing him to link up with his cousin Husk The Great. The two men decided to pair up with Rha Sun who then signed them to his record label BlakGlobe.
The talented artist was destined for the music industry with the strong support and foundation from his biggest fans—his family. His grandmother was a writer, his mother played the clarinet, and his cousin was the infamous Whitney Houston. There is no doubt music is a part of him as it runs through his blood. CeeGramz is currently in the studio finishing up his new mixtape "Burn Before Listening" and recording his debut album "On God" which features R&B singer Ne-Yo, Ty Dolla $ign, Aaron Kane, Husk the Great, and many more.
CeeGramz is headed to the top with his pristine craft and creativity. A true hard worker, CeeGramz refuses to settle for less. His work ethic and determination shines so bright that even well respected artists have reached out to work with him. CeeGramz has had the pleasure to produce and open for Jae Millz, Migos, Kidd Kidd, Freeway, Chrisette Michele, Tonez, Neef from the Young Gunz, Peedi Crakk, Sporty Theivez, Claudette Ortiz from City High, and many more.

When I first came across this book, I felt a bit uneasy and I had a few concerns about its anthology because I think it's good that many of us, myself included, are trying to defy and challenge stereotypes of Muslim women, but I wonder if books of this nature are needed to accomplish this? Are we going a step too far? What purpose will such a book serve – if any? I also wondered what the writers intended by writing such a book? Did its Authors set out to send a message? And if so, what message were they intending to convey? Furthermore, if we do discuss issues such as sex or our love lives in the open – how much is too much? And are we as Muslim women, in the first place, allowed to have such open discussions? What's the Islamic perspective and approach? What would be the appropriate forums? And what should these forums consist of or look like? I was also curious about the women who contributed their stories. Why did they agree to participate? What were their initial feelings and thoughts about being a part of such a book? Did they have concerns about participating? And if so, what were those concerns? And now that the book is out, do they regret participating? How did their families react to the news of their participation?
Nevertheless, I was excited and surprised about a book of this nature – my curiosity would not allow me to ignore this book. Such bold revelations from Muslim women themselves – almost unheard of, and I felt like while many Muslims would like to continue pretending that the realities this book highlights does not exist, I think Love, Inshallah provides a reality check and a shocking revelation that Muslim women face some of the same carnal demons as non-Muslim women and that the realities of unlawful relationships, love and lust are not alien to Muslim women. Therefore, I think the Authors have definitely accomplished what they set out to do, and that for the Authors is an accomplishment and success in itself.
However, I think we need to go deeper. We need to not only challenge and defy stereotypes of Muslim women but we need to educate Non-Muslims about Islam every chance we get. It is only through education that we can truly and effectively defy and challenge negative stereotypes and perceptions of Muslim women. And this is where I felt this book failed. Instead one learnt more about cultural expectations, rather than Islamic expectations. A book of this nature would appeal to anyone – Muslim and Non-Muslim because the lifestyle practices of most of the contributors as far as finding love and romance is concerned, does not represent the Islamic approach nor perspective on such matters. And, so, I was a bit disappointed that there was barely any reflection of Islam in this book. I know the Authors pointed out that the book wasn't intended to be an Islamic book, but the participants identified themselves as Muslims, therefore, I was at least expecting to read more about a spiritual battle between practicing religion versus succumbing to ones carnal desires and culture. I didn't get the feeling like most of the writers regretted their unIslamic actions, but rather it seemed to me the opposite.
I admired and respected these women for their raw honesty, for they owned their stories, embraced it and now sharing it with the world, from happily ever after stories, heart-breaks, being single, divorce, polygamy, sexuality and of course sex. Many of which are taboo subjects within Muslim communities. Some of the stories were laugh out loud funny and well written like 'The Birds,The Bees and my Hole' by Zahra Noorbakhsh; and others, well, even though interesting, I quickly became bored. They reminded me why I never found romance novels appealing. Few of the stories I could relate to and I felt like some revelations and certain expressions of words used by some contributors were unnecessary – very explicit and raw, but I guess necessary in their own right for jaw dropping effect and to add some spice. I also felt the book lack diversity.
I particularly enjoyed and found interesting and inspiring the stories of some of the older contributors like Asiila Imani In the Chapter – THREE, we are given insight into her thoughts on polygamy. Her perspective and approach to polygamy always amazes me and causes me to pause and reflect on my own feelings about polygamy. Such a practical and sensible woman. She says on page 199, "even though I had heard that polygamy always ended in broken hearts, mayhem, and dismemberment, the idea of sharing a husband had never bothered me. I had never understood why women fought so much over men. If a man loved two women, the woman could either leave or share him. I believed women should be confident enough in themselves that they wouldn't need to be the sole object of a man' s affections. I knew there were men who loved and supported two families with equal devotion. To me, husband sharing sounded like a perfect blend of being married and single at the same time… In short, polygamy seemed not an unholy aberration, but a sacrosanct communion between a family and God…"
This is one of those books you'll either love or hate – it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it sure makes an interesting read and highlights some of the 21st century challenges of some Muslim women in search of love. Go get your copy today, grab a cup of tea and let's start talking!

Halley Comet strikes again
There is nothing quite like the smell of wet wool. Mmmmmm, musty. At least in my mind I can associate it with a finished object drying in my bathroom.
I completed my 3rd Halley hat today. A completion that almost didn't happen. This particular version was done using a partial leftover skein from my Blackberry sweater. It was knit over the course of 2 movie/TV nights at Erica's which P.S. if you haven't been watching Veronica Mars on UPN than you are missing out and I feel nothing but pity and contempt for you. With about 15 stitches left to bind off last night I ran out of yarn. Sonofabitch! Normally I would have simply undone some of the work and left it a row shorter but I had already omitted much of the bottom part because I knew I wouldn't have much more material to work with. Luckily I was able to cannibalize some yarn scraps from my sweater project to finish this one.
When it was finally off the needles it was very obvious that the only way this was going to fit on my x-large sized head was through the miracle of blocking. During the blocking process I managed to drop an open bottle of woolite onto the floor of my bathroom but with some time, patience, and a roll of paper towels I was able to rectify some of the damage. At least I will have a fun hat to wear on warm days. Yay.

BOCA RATON, FL, November 13, 2006 — Mobile Studios, developers of innovative fly pack systems, have selected FOR-A's HVS-500HS HANABI 1 M/E HD switcher, as the heart of the company's newest mobile production console. The MS7HD is a portable, live production system capable of multi-camera shooting, targeted for use by corporations, houses of worship, universities, sporting event producers, government video producers, and independent production companies. It is the latest addition to Mobile Studios' line of portable production consoles used by organizations such as Boeing, Dow Chemical, NASA, Cendant Corporation, and the U.S. Navy.
The HVS-500HS is an economical, compact and self-contained switcher that accepts analog and digital HD and SD formats with no external conversion required. One of the major innovations of the HVS-500HS HANABI is its variety of input/output interfaces including SD-SDI, HD-SDI, Analog Component SD and Analog Component HD. It can also connect to HDV cameras or PCs using component video break-out cables. The switcher is multi-format in HD for 1080/60i, 50i, 24p, 720/60p, and is switchable from NTSC to PAL.
"This is a very flexible switcher with the ability to change inputs and outputs simply by changing boards," said Rich Rubin, president and CEO, Mobile Studios. "We're thrilled at the price point and capabilities of this value-packed HD switcher and pleased to include it in our new portable system for live HD production. We're also looking to the HDV market, and the HVS-500HS satisfies that need as well."
Because of the growing number of producers shooting in HD for live or other multi-camera shoots, Rubin believes there are many markets where the company's new fly pack is well suited. "This video production console has the same power as larger HD studios but with portability and a much lower price tag," continued Rubin. "And more broadcasters are using the HD/SDI format for inputting PC sources. The HVS-500HS is the first lower cost, multi-format SD/HD switcher with both SD component and HD component input. It has all the functions videographers need." Rubin said that he was also drawn to FOR-A based upon the company's history of providing high-quality frame synchronizers and switchers to the broadcast industry.
Headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, Mobile Studios designs and delivers integrated, portable production systems for SD and HD live production to the broadcast and production industry, houses of worship, corporations and educational institutions . Every Mobile Studios system is built within the company's unique heavy duty fly pack console (Patent Pending), providing "roll-in roll-out" convenience and shock mounting for worry-free equipment transport.

Recently, one of my readers, Jack Hess, contacted me for help and we met one evening at the Clayton Genealogy Library in Houston to develop a plan of action.
First, we set one goal: Find the parents of his great-great grandfather, Joel Hess who was born between 1827 and 1831 in Monroe Co., TN.
Second, we evaluated what Jack knew: The names of two of Joelĺs sons were Albert Pinckney Hess and John Franklin Hess. Jack knew that Joelĺs wife was Mary McAbee and her parents were Edward and Martha McAbee. We estimated that Joel and Mary had married about 1852.
Third, we evaluated what Jack didnĺt know: The names of Joelĺs parents.
Fourth, we began the search: We determined that we needed to locate Joel on the 1850 Census. We photocopied the census indexes for the surnames Hess and McAbee in Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. We then crosschecked the surnames and found the only one place where both surnames were listed in the same county in the 1850 Census was in Murray Co., GA.
Fifth: We pulled the Murray Co., GA census microfilm and there was Joel living with his parents Charles and Frances Hess and a few households away living next to who would turnout to be Joelĺs brother, William Hess, was the Edward McAbee and family, including Mary. William Hess married Nancy McAbee, who was also the daughter of Edward.
Sixth: A lot of whooping and hollering as we reached our goal. Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes.
Yes, we were lucky, but years of frustrating research hadnĺt found Joelĺs parents. Sometimes you just have to be a little creative in your research and come-up with unique approaches. The technique discussed today will hopefully help you to go along way in breaking through your brickwall!
Gee, folks I say it again, never, never, never, draw a conclusion, ôIt canĺt be there.ö My great-great-grandfather James Jefferson Claud Johnson and his brother, Benjamin Franklin Johnson were killed on the night of Sept. 9, 1873 in Robertson Co., Texas. As family legend goes they were killed by nightriders.
Over the years, I have looked a just about every surviving Central Texas newspaper for Sept. and Oct. 1873. I have never found one newspaper story about their deaths. You would think two brothers being killed on the same night would warrant some sort of a mention.
This past Saturday, I was reading the microfilm of the ôWeekly Houston Telegraphö newspaper while researching a totally different and unrelated topic. There in front of my eyes, jumped out an article about the killing of the Johnson Brothers! I almost fell out of the chair. It wasnĺt where it was supposed to be! It wasnĺt where my mother or I had looked for over 30-years. But I found it in a Houston newspaper! I would have never thought to look in a Houston newspaper for a killing in Robertson Co., TX.
So, my fellow researchers learn from my experience, itĺs there, just not where youĺre looking. Keep turning over those rocks and youĺll find a worm wiggling in the dirt! Now, my next big roadblock: Who are the parents of James S. Shuffield?
In this column, I will be glad to highlight and review any family history, genealogy, county history, or similar book, free of charge, if you donate a copy of the book or item. After it has been highlighted and reviewed, on a space available basis, it will be donated to the genealogy section of a library. You will receive an acknowledgment of the donation from the library.

Congressman Peter Roskam (IL-06) released the latest installment of Ask Peter today, a frequent video conversation with Sixth District residents about issues important to them. In this segment, Congressman Roskam thanks our nations veterans for their service and talks about what his office can do to help those who have served our country.
"I heard an expression once that deeply resonated with me, and it said, "for those who have fought for it, freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know.' And for those who served, they'll know what I'm talking about. I am deeply appreciative of your service.
"In the House of Representatives, we've taken on this responsibility seriously to help veterans as they transition back home. We've passed legislation that helps more veterans get the support they need in terms of assisted living, to break through bureaucracies that can be so challenging as veterans are transitioning home."
For veterans casework, contact my west Chicago office at 630-232-0006 for assistance.
Ask Peter videos are available to the public at roskam.house.gov, facebook.com/reproskam, twitter.com/peterroskam, and via press release. The videos are sent to constituents via e-mail, Facebook, or Twitter, depending on how they contacted the Roskam office.

On October 12th, HIMSS joined 168 organizations in sending letters to the leadership of the House and SenateAppropriations Committees urging them to protect the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) budget from further cuts in any final FY17 spending legislation. The current short term resolution to fund the government, including AHRQ, will expire on December 9th and Congress will need to pass another funding bill through the end of FY 2017.
"We urge you to protect AHRQ from additional cuts—providing the agency at least $334 million in FY 2017—because it isn't enough to develop cures. Understanding how to most effectively and efficiently deliver cures to patients through health services research is a critical component on the health research continuum, and one that has implications for health care quality, cost, access and ultimately patient outcomes," the letters states.
AHRQ provides essential sources of data that support efforts to improve quality and reduce cost in the nation's health care system. More specifically, AHRQ's Health IT Portfolio develops and disseminates evidence to inform policy and practice on how health information technology can improve the quality of health care.
HIMSS has joined the "Friends of AHRQ" in sending several similar letters in support of the agency during previous appropriations cycles.
