This article was prompted by a recent issue that we had regarding a Private Detective agency (not their name) based in Essex.
They advertise their services through hundreds of websites, claiming to have offices in most, if not all towns and cities throughout the country. The trouble is they don't. They flood the internet with websites littered with bad grammar, spelling mistakes and false testimonials. If you take the time to read the content of their home page, it is just a jumble of nonsensical rubbish containing their keywords to enable a google search to direct even more victims to them.
This particular Private Detective Agency came to our attention because we received a letter from a client of theirs. Their client was complaining about a forensic examination service they had paid for. They had been charged a significant amount of money to have evidence examined by an 'expert'. The client was led to believe the Agency was a local based company. A report was sent to the client after the evidence had been forensically examined. The report did not have the name or qualifications of the 'expert' and was vague to say the least. The report was supposed to be used in evidence in a court case, however, it could not be used because it was effectively useless, of no legal value whatsoever.
So why did we receive the letter? Why complain to us?
I received the letter because unbeknown to us, this particular agency was using my address as their local office address. I was unaware of this, and so it turned out was their client. They were unaware that the local office they thought they were dealing with didn't exist. Their client (who I have been in touch with) was led to believe on several occasions that the person they were dealing with was in an office local to them. The client even asked if they could visit to speak with someone regarding their complaint.
Their client was repeatedly ignored. Emails, calls and messages were not responded to. The client being extremely frustrated sought advice from Trading Standards. They advised the client to write to the Private Detective agency and lay out their complaint and set a time frame for a response. The client posted their letter and had it sent recorded delivery. The letter arrived at what the client believed to be the office of the Private Detective agency, only it wasn't. It was my home address!
We have never given permission for our address to be used by this Private Detective Agency.
This appears to be a common practice with one or two companies who are nothing more than call centres.
They will have a local phone number on their website, which unbeknownst to the caller is diverted to their offices in Essex, or the Midlands for another company. I rang one of the numbers on a website local to me and asked if I could visit to discuss my case. They call handler said "due to the sensitive nature of the industry we don't encourage our clients to visit our office". So I persisted and said I had some pictures and documents I needed to show them, and again I was fobbed off, this time with "all of our agents are extremely busy, if you want to post them, or scan and email them that would be ok".
I persisted further and said I was in town, I could call in now. Yet again I was fobbed off and asked for my phone number so a case manager could speak to me. I politely refused and hung up.
I delved a little further into the website that had contained my address and followed up the testimonials. I found every one of them was fake. They all come from 'Sash Window company', 'Aluminium Window Company', 'Blocked drain company', 'Skip Hire Company'.
Eight testimonials were listed, all were followed up. Only two calls were answered, one was a drainage company, one was a skip hire company. Neither had ever heard of, instructed or ever needed a Private Detective. The remainder of my calls were directed to an answerphone service which no matter which option you choose eventually routes you to a voicemail with the same male voice. Six out of eight testimonials from six allegedly different websites went to the same voicemail; could be a coincidence right?
Wrong; we carried out the same follow up on two other web pages of the agency and got the same results, no one I spoke to had ever heard of the Private detective agency. They had never given a testimonial to a Private Detective agency and had never given them permission to use their details on a Private Detective agency website.
I looked at the testimonial websites using the links from different pages belonging to the Private Detective agency. The pages were identical, the layout, the images everything apart from the phone number at the top.
I spoke with the MD of the Private Detective agency and when I pointed out that the testimonials were fake they replied "no they are not, they are genuine"…..
In an industry where honesty and Integrity are paramount it seems quite ironic that this company, and one or two others display none of those attributes.
If you do find yourself in contact with one of these companies; my advice is, hang up and shop around.
We are happy to meet our clients and prospective clients face to face. We will talk through the options available to you.
If you are looking to instruct a Private Investigator you might want to ask yourself and them some questions;
- Ask them if they are a member of the Association of British Investigators, although this is not a legal requirement it does give you someone to contact in the event that you have a complaint. (The ABI will investigate complaints made against their members.)
- Ask them if they are registered with the Information Commissioners Office
- Ask them if they are insured.
- Ask them how they intend to carry out the work you are enquiring about. How will they report their findings? Are there any hidden costs.
- Ask them how many will be in the team if you require surveillance.
When you instruct a Private Investigator you are passing on sensitive and confidential information. You are paying for a service. If you employed a building firm to build a home extension would you be happy with them just leaving their apprentice to get on with the job?
Buyer beware…..

Hocus Focus Photo booth. They have a couple different ones you can rent, but we fell in love with this camper. We were able to have out picture taken inside the camper. The picture would then be sent to a small mailbox on the outside of the camper. They supply props also. I took the pictures of the suitcase, tv's and my daughter and her soon to be sister in law (Bride #2). The other photo's are credit from the Hocus Focus company.

Someone should have talked Lenny Dykstra out of hitting the "publish" button:
To begin with, I had $100 million in assets when I filed my Chapter 11. It is also important for you to know that I did not get stupid overnight. I didn't make bad investments; every company that I have ever created or owned was and still is a winning company. And I sure as hell was not going to get on my knees, put my hands behind my head, and let this corrupt group of people masquerading as attorneys execute me -- as that is what bankruptcy is all about. Just because they do this to everyone else does not mean I was going to let them do it to me. The corrupt world of bankruptcy is best described as "the death chamber."
The so-called "grand theft auto" was never even brought; the case was dismissed. The theft was committed by them, as they stole a car I was leasing from Ford. Heck, it was only a Ford Flex.
Are they allowed to steal it when they brought no charges? Are they allowed to shuffle me from jail to jail in what was left of my street clothes that they made me wear for seven days without even being permitted to take a shower? Are they allowed to then lock me up in a cell at three different courthouses, on three different days, and not even let me see a judge? Are they allowed to physically and mentally assault me and tie me up like I was some kind of animal "because they thought it was funny?" Are they allowed to torture me to the point where two nurses happened to be walking by and saw me -- came to my rescue -- took my blood pressure and registered it at 180 over 120?
I told them, "If you are trying to kill me, then you better put a bullet in my head because I am not backing down. Torture me all you want, I am stronger than you will ever know." So, they kept going, almost like the movies, except this was a real, living nightmare!
Over the last two years, they have basically stolen everything from me -- my family, my kids, my homes, my cars, my businesses, my reputation, my money, my life. But what they can never steal is my HEART and my FIGHT -- and at the end of the day, I will win and I will win big!That's just sad. If his claims of police brutality are investigated, and if there is evidence that he was abused in custody, I will render an appropriate mea culpa. Is it possible that they actually had this man in custody, in his street clothes, for seven straight days without requiring him to wear jail attire? I have no idea. But, to read this is to wonder, in the larger sense, what the hell happened to this man? Why does he remind me of a less calculating, less savvy Charlie Sheen?
Even if you "steal" a Ford Flex, you have stolen a car. I don't think it was a good idea to basically admit to stealing a car by trying to excuse it away as being a less significant type of vehicle than, say, an Audi Q7 or some such vehicle. A bit of elitism creeps in here, and it might be tinged with that old notion of "entitled athlete." I don't know.
The court of public opinion is not where you want to discuss your bankruptcy issues. Now, virtually everything Dykstra has written will likely come back to haunt him in any kind of a formal legal setting.

Why Is My Water Heater Leaking?
November 07, 2017
Water leaking from your water heater is a bad sign—regardless of where the leak is coming from.
Luckily, we're here to help.
The first thing you'll want to do is determine where the water heater leak is located:
- Is the leak on the top of the water heater? If so, continue on to the section below labeled "My water heater is leaking from the top"
- Is the leak closer to the bottom of the water heater? If so, skip to the section labeled "My water heater is leaking from the bottom"
- Is the tank itself leaking? If so, skip to the section labeled "If the water heater tank itself is leaking…"
Need professional to repair your water heater ASAP? Just contact us and we'll send over a plumber.
My water heater is leaking from the top
If you notice water leaking from the top of your water heater, it's likely coming from one of 4 places:
- The cold water inlet pipe/valve
- The TPR valve
- Anode rod port
- The expansion tank
If the cold water inlet valve is leaking…
...then you'll likely see water coming from this area:
Your cold water inlet valve is where cold, incoming water from your home's main water line enters your water heater.
If the valve itself (which sits higher up on the pipe) has gone bad, it will drip water down the pipe and onto the top of your water heater. If the pipe fitting is loose, you'll see water coming from the location of the red arrow in the picture above.
What to do: If the pipe fitting is loose and you see water leaking from this location, use a wrench to tighten the connection and stop the leaking. If water is dripping from the valve, you'll need a professional to replace the valve.
If your TPR valve is leaking…
...you'll see water coming from this area:
Your temperature and pressure relief valve (TPR valve) is a safety mechanism that only activates when the pressure/temperature inside your water heater tank is too high. When levels get too high, the valve opens and releases hot water to decrease the pressure inside the tank.
During a normal discharge from your TPR valve, water should release via the "discharge pipe" that runs down the length of the water heater. Which means, if everything's working correctly, you should only ever see water dripping near the floor if your TPR valve discharges.
But sometimes, the valve itself (pointed out in the picture above) goes bad and doesn't fully close, which will allow some hot water or steam to leak from this area.
What to do: Have a professional replace the TPR valve if it's leaking. This is an important safety feature that protects your water heater from rupturing due to high pressure levels. So if it's leaking, that's a good indication that the valve won't work properly when it's needed.
If water is leaking from your water heater's anode rod port…
You'll see water coming from this area…
Your anode rod is a long skinny rod that sits inside the water heater and prevents your tank from corroding. You see, over time, corrosive agents in your home's water "eat up" the inside of the water heater. But the anode rod is designed to attract all those corrosive agents and "sacrifices" itself so that your water heater tank doesn't corrode.
But if the anode rod isn't replaced once it starts corroding, the corrosion will reach the top of the anode rod and make water bubble up and leak out of the anode rod port (seen above).
What to do: Have a professional replace your anode rod soon so that the inside of your water heater tank doesn't start corroding.
If the expansion tank is leaking…
You'll see water coming from this small tank:
Some water heater systems include a smaller tank called the "expansion tank". This tank sits off to the side of your water heater and is designed to catch any excess water from the water heater tank.
You see, as water is heated, it expands. And sometimes, as water expands after being heated, it outgrows the space within the tank. When this happens, excess water is immediately sent to the expansion tank to lower pressure levels inside the water heater.
But sometimes, due to wear and tear, your expansion tank may start leaking.
What to do: Inspect the expansion tank to determine where the leak is located. If the leak comes from the pipe fiting (seen at the top of the tank), try using a wrench to tighten the fitting. If the leak comes from the tank itself, though, you'll need a professional to repair or replace the expansion tank.
My water heater is leaking from the bottom
If you notice water leaking from the bottom of the water heater tank, it's likely coming from one of these 2 places:
- TPR discharge pipe
- Drain valve
If your TPR discharge pipe is leaking…
...you'll see water dripping from the long, pipe that runs down the length of the water heater and stops about 6 inches from the floor.
So what does this mean? Well, it means that your water heater has dangerously high pressure inside the tank. Your TPR valve (located at the top of the water heater) automatically opens to discharge water when it senses too high pressure levels. And when it opens, it releases water to the bottom of the water heater via the discharge pipe. Usually, a TPR valve that's discharging is accompanied by a hissing noise.
What to do: Have a professional inspect your water heater ASAP. They'll be able to determine what's causing high pressure levels inside the water heater and repair it.
If water is leaking from the drain valve…
...you'll see water leaking from this device:
Your water heater's drain valve allows a plumber to "flush" your water heater (that is, drain it, clean it and fill it back up).
Over time, though, the drain valve may get clogged with particles or sediment from the water. And when this happens, it may not close properly and leak water.
What to do: Have a professional replace the drain valve.
If the water heater tank itself is leaking…
...you'll need to call a professional to replace your water heater as soon as possible.
You see, a leak in the tank itself most likely means that the tank is corroding from the inside out. And if the tank is leaking, it's only a matter of time before the tank bursts, potentially causing expensive water damage.
What to do: Consult a plumber to have the water heater replaced immediately.

seminar on Fabrication of Biogenic Antimicrobial Silver Nanoparticles by Streptomyces aegyptia NEAE 102 as Eco-Friendly Nanofactory.
- Get link
- Other Apps
Nanomaterials have a long list of applicability in improving human life and its environment. An important area of research in nanotechnology is the biosynthesis of nanoparticles such as nanosilver. The extremely small size and large surface area relative to their volume makes them useful for applications in various fields, such as antibacterials (Souza et al., 2004), therapeutics (Wang et al., 2011), high-sensitivity bio molecular detection and diagnostics, silver-nano coated medical devices (Tomsmic et al., 2009), optical receptors (Schult et al., 2000), nonlinear optics, spectrally selective coating for solar energy absorption, bio-labelling, intercalation materials for electrical batteries, catalysis in chemical reactions. (Kowshik et al., 2003), cosmetics, microelectronics, and conductive inks and adhesives Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are currently commonly synthesized by chemical reduction
(Peterson et al., 2007), thermal treatment (Sun et al., 2005), irradiation (Shao et al., 2006) and laser ablation (Tsuji et al., 2002) which are low yield, energy-intensive, difficult to scale up, often producing high levels of hazardous wastes, and may require the use of organic solvents and toxic reducing agents like sodium borohydride and N,N-dimethylformamide. Thus, these techniques yield extremely expensive materials. In addition, produced nanoparticles exhibit undesirable aggregation with time. Hence, a green synthesis method has been developed to obtain biocompatible, cost-effective, clean, nontoxic, easily scaled up for large-scale synthesis, and eco-friendly size-controlled nanoparticles. Microbial properties of bioaccumulation, biosorption, bio-detoxification, and bio-mineralization have been regarded as opportunities to use them as nano factories for mining nano materials (Narayanan et al., One of the major issues to be considered during synthesis of nanoparticles is their size, depending on which the applications may vary (Gurunathan et al., 2009). Biosynthetic methods can be categorized into intracellular and extracellular synthesis according to the place where nanoparticles are formed (Tang et al., 2011). For extracellular synthesis, it is reported that a reductase enzyme is released into solution, which reduces a salt to its metallic solid nanoparticles through the catalytic effect (Souza et al., 2004). Extracellular secretion of enzymes offers the advantage of obtaining large quantities in a relatively pure state, free from other cellular proteins associated with the organism, and can be easily processed by filtering of the cells and isolating the enzyme for nanoparticles synthesis from cell free filtrate.
Fabrication of Biogenic Antimicrobial Silver Nanoparticles by Streptomyces aegyptia NEAE 102 as Eco-Friendly Nanofactory Various microorganisms (bacteria, yeast, fungi) are known to synthesize silver nanoparticles. The produced nanoparticles have different sizes and shapes.The shape of AgNPs, predominantly spherical, is common to microbial-mediated synthesis (Shivaji et al., 2011). Nanoparticles resulting from some microbial processes are composite materials and consist of an inorganic component and a special organic matrix (proteins, lipids, or polysaccharides) and they have unique chemical and physical properties different from the properties of conventionally produced nanoparticles and of other microorganisms even when they are incubated in the same medium under the same conditions (Nelly et al., Traditionally, fermentation processes have been optimized by changing one independent variable or factor at a time while keeping the others at some fixed values. The disadvantages of such a classical method are that it is time consuming, laborious, and expensive; in addition, it ignores the combined interactions among different variables employed (Gao et al., 2009). Consequently, statistical methods are increasingly preferred for fermentation optimization because they reduce the total number of experiments needed and provide a better understanding of the interactions among factors on the outcome of the fermentation (Revankar et al., 2006). Response surface methodology (RSM) is a statistical technique based on the fundamental principles of statistics, randomization, replication, and duplication, which simplifies the optimization by studying the mutual interactions among the variables over a range of values in a statistically valid manner. It is an efficient statistical technique for optimization of multiple variables in order to predict the best performance conditions with a minimum number of experiments and explain the individual and interactive effects of test variables on the response (Panwal et al., 2011).
In this study, for the first time, a novel actinomycete strain, S. aegyptia NEAE 102, is utilized for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. A statistical approach (central composite design) has been employed in the present study to optimize the extracellular biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles by the novel S. aegyptia NEAE 102. The biosynthesized nanoparticles were characterized for their surface properties using FTIR, in addition to antimicrobial properties using gram-positive, and gram-negative bacterial strains and yeast.

Try Finding a "Graduation" Card in December!
December 1, 2013
It is with great excitement that I celebrate my graduation from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition on December 2nd. It's a virtual graduation, because it is a virtual course, so I don't actually get a cap and gown like in the past. What I have received is my certification from the AADP as a Health Coach, and this is the basis for my new business The Family Plate.
These are iPhone pictures of my graduation pictures that hang in my mother's house. I lovingly call this one, "The Giant Marie Head". It's the largest picture of myself I've ever seen and since I am the oldest in my family, it hung alone on the wall for 3 years before being accompanied by the "giant Vincent head". Graduations stick with us because they are natural milestones in one's life. After graduating college I didn't think there would be more cap and gown photos in my future. But in this past year of my self imposed "sabbatical" I've been given a great opportunity to go back to school and take a new direction in life.
- This time last year, I knew I wanted to do something health related, but had no idea what. I thought about becoming a yoga teacher but couldn't find the right fit. Luckily, the universe sent an old friend to me with a wonderful idea – become a Certified Health Coach. I began school in January of 2013 and have spent this year learning over 100 dietary theories. It's been exciting to be back in school and placing a focus on learning and expanding one's mind. I've have a few weeks off since our lectures ended and I actually miss them! (I always was a teacher's pet!)
- With my certification under my belt, I can now shift my focus entirely to serving my clients and working towards the optimal health of myself and those around me. In fact today I made my mother vegan chocolate pudding, just to show her how it's done. We're not vegan, but it's fun to learn new recipes and try new methods for preparing food. For me it's all about moving forward and gathering up new bits and pieces of information as we go along. What's great about being a health coach is that I get to interact with my clients and learn from them as well.
- Many thanks to my husband Ran and my family for being so supportive. Without their love and encouragement I'm not sure I would have been able to take this leap!
- So here's to 2014, a new year, a new career and many new people to meet!
Pastis, was it worth it?
September 9, 2009
Pastis is one of those super trendy restaurants that I hear about and see on Sex and the City, but never think I'll actually go to. First, can I even get a table? Second, is it super expensive? Third, is it just plain-old-lame to go somewhere so trendy?
Well, my husband and I found ourselves hungry and in the Meat Packing District on Labor Day and started walking around looking for a table. The Standard Grill, nope – they don't serve food from 4-5:30. Ditto for three other places. So finally, we landed at Pastis out of desperation!
It was a weird time of day to be eating dinner, but we got a table, so we had to make the most of it.
For an appetizer, I had the Fresh Arugala Salad with Parmesan and Lemon(!)
It was a hefty portion for $11 and I plowed through the entire thing. Any green partnered with cheese, is a-ok-by me! It was very light, had very little oil olive dressing and was entirely refreshing. I added a little salt and pepper to it – perhaps it could have used a bit more dressing. Though, I admit, it was healthier without it. A+
Ran had a less healthy choice (God love him!) with the Onion Soup Gratinée. <img alt="" Which he allowed me to take a few bites of, and it was probably the best french onion soup I've ever tasted. It had a little bit of oil on the top of it, not sure if it was released from the cheese or what? But, it was very decadent and tasty. The bread inside was also soaked with the broth and very tender. A+
For main entrees we decided on Homemade Fennel Ravioli for me and Steak Frites for Ran.
The ravioli were stuffed with a green filling and I found them to be pretty interesting, but not the most amazing ravioli in the world. The roasted tomato that accompanied it and the parmesan cheese around the ravioli were the highlight of the dish. B
The steak of the Steak Frites was a hanger steak. The frites were very crunchy fries that soaked up all the juices from the steak and became wonderful vehicles for steak drippings, thus, making it ok to eat steak drippings! A (the Steak Frites at Pomme de Terre in Brooklyn is just as good)
Finally, dessert. Chocolate Mousse.
So light and fluffy and filled with a deep chocolate flavor. It was buttery almost, the texture being so creamy and smooth. I wanted desperately to finish the entire thing, but couldn't, it was just a tad too rich. Hands down, the best chocolate mousse I've ever had. A++
I didn't try any of Ran's Creme Brulee (I had the best chocolate mousse ever in front of me!). Ran says "It's up there with the best Creme Brulee I've ever had." A+
The check was over $100 (with the tip) and considering we had a 3 course meal (but no drinks) I think it was standard pricing for the Meat Packing District.
I think it was worth it. Great food, definitely would go back. And hell, I'm going to just write in my food journal "Pastis" and leave it at that. No need to figure out how many points were in the two bites of Onion Soup Gratineé. I'm going to file this one under "great meals that I enjoyed, and moved on from!"
Street Meat gets Fancified
August 5, 2009
The smell coming from the street meat guy on 54th and 3rd, I have to admit, is good! My co-worker and I pass him often and always says, "one of these days we are actually going to order from him!". We never do though. Only once in 2 years have we indulged in the street meat. Why? Well, I guess the idea of getting something good and somewhat healthy from a cart seems a bit far fetched! More often, I'll grab a dirtwater dog from a cart in the city when I'm struggling for something hearty to eat on the go (and it's cheap!). A hot dog with a bun is roughly 9 points, so it's definitely an indulgence. But something about a hot dog from a cart is just so darn satisfying! It's portable, it's salty, you can load ketchup and mustard on top. It's so simple, yet layered with flavors. I'm hungry, can you tell?
Anyway, only in NYC the street meat has gotten a gourmet makeover…see below, from NY Post.

Learn German…
Discover Germany…
Germany is a country rich in natural beauty. Between the North Sea and Baltic coasts in the north and the peaks of the Alps in the south lie extremely diverse landscapes, with everything from wide expanses of river and lakeland scenery, hilly uplands and densely wooded regions to agricultural plains and industrial conurbations.
Today, life in Germany is subject to a great diversity of cultural influences. It can generally be described as modern and cosmopolitan. The people of Germany love nothing more than getting together and celebrating, in traditional style during carnival season, at wine festivals, at the Oktoberfest and other beer festivals, or during music festivals from classical to rock – all helped along by great food and fine wines from the 13 vineyard regions.
Available Courses
We offer multiple courses in Germany in all the different cities.
Standard German Course
This German language course is ideal for students who wish to improve their German language very quickly. It focuses on combining the most important skills when learning a language: speaking, listening, reading and writing.

I am really disappointed in the this product at this time, and it is casting a shadow over what I once thought was a company that offered some really good services and excellent support. Even while paying for "energizer updates" i am being told all too often that because the product is in "Maintenance" mode, there will be no new development or even documentation supporting the existing product.
What happens if I purchased a five year IR and MS or Apple push out OS updates that completely break the Standalone agent, requiring a complete re-development of the software?
Also, this response for assistance sucks "Unfortunately our documentation does not include screen shots for every operating system. Since the device is in maintenance mode, no updates to the documentation are being made."
Great Job.

Chris Christie addresses some campaign workers in East Brunswick, N.J., Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2013. Asked Tuesday why voters should give him another term, Christie said he's been honest about the state's problems and worked with Democrats to find bipartisan solutions. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)Immigrant-rights activists say New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie reversed himself Saturday and endorsed giving illegal immigrants in-state college tuition rates, and said he will try to get the issue through his legislature in a lame-duck session.Mr. Christie, who is up for re-election in November, is also seen as eyeing a bid for the GOP's 2016 presidential nomination, but his support for in-state tuition could complicate that."We need tuition equality for everyone in New Jersey," the activists said the governor said in a speech to the Latino Leadership Alliance of New Jersey.. . . "http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013...illegals/print/ I noticed how comfortable Christie is with the language of the left: tuition equality.

My St. Francisville chiropractor appreciates fully how this back pain and sciatica have troubled my life. My St. Francisville chiropractor is assisting with the relief of the back pain and leg pain, so I can live my life again." Family & Sports Chiropractic of St. Francisville listens to this all the time! St. Francisville back pain and leg pain patients of all ages and particularly our older St. Francisville back pain patients who have sought help from many other doctors without relief. Family & Sports Chiropractic of St. Francisville helps reduce back pain and leg pain gently and successfully with Cox Technic. EXPERIENCING BACK PAIN AND LEG PAIN AS AN OLDER ADULT Having back pain or leg pain (sciatica) when you are older is unique compared with a time – like most things in life – when you experienced back pain or sciatica as a younger person. There is a array of types of sciatica patients – those who have mild leg pain to those with high pain, disability and timeframe of having it. Researchers revealed that most improvement for pain and disability happened in the first 4 months for all. At one year, 45% (mild) to 27% (high pain/disability) of the patients described recovery at one year. (1) Sciatica affects about 25% of us. Typical descriptions are of lower limb pain that is more bothersome than the lower back pain. Numbness and motor weakness may also join the sciatic pain. The usual care options are pain medications of all sorts from NSAIDS to opioids without much evidence for their benefit. Additionally, most clinical trials for these meds in the management of sciatica actually exclude older people. (2) Family & Sports Chiropractic of St. Francisville implements a non-drug choice for older adult back pain and leg pain that has research evidence to support its utilization and documentation of its efficacy for that life-changing experience of back and sciatic pain. BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA CHANGE LIFE Patients describe to researchers that "It has changed my whole life." "It" is chronic low back pain which is back pain that lasts beyond 3 months. Specifically, a new article clarifies that back pain sufferers articulate that it harms their sense of self, makes them feel like they are trapped in a body that just won't work anymore, complicates family relationships, keeps them working painfully, and causes them to feel socially and recreationally repressed. (3) Family & Sports Chiropractic of St. Francisville has witnessed this in its years of taking care of St. Francisville back pain. Back pain unsettles life.

He Became A Victim Of Her Narcissistic Abuse That She Liked To Call 'Love'
He Became A Victim Of Her Narcissistic Abuse That She Liked To Call 'Love'
"Am I a bad person - a rapist or a murderer, that she will lodge a police complaint against me?" asked Abhi.
That was a shocking statement by a calm and composed guy to his elder sister Payal.
We don't often know who is going through what tempest of life, though everything appears calm superficially.
On listening to him, Payal realised how deep he could fathom the matters of love and how seriously he took relationships. But she was helpless at his fate. She couldn't say anything to their parents with the fear of mockery.
Often when you can't express yourself, you feel more suffocated. And most of the times, you are afraid that everyone would never understand you and your situation because they were in your shoes.
But what about empathy? That's an innate human trait which we are losing it gradually.
Everything was fine with Abhi, only if she (Simi) wouldn't have entered his life and shook his world from within. He was a reserved guy, very much composed and stayed always in himself. His world comprised of office, gym, family, and a handful of friends.
Abhi and Simi were colleagues working in the same office but different departments. Simi was a soft-spoken person and pleasing in appearance.
She threw her first hint by always trying to catch his glimpses in between the work, multiple times a day. She ushered care and affection in her words and presence. He liked her attention and felt that he had found his love.
While marriage was in his mind; there was something different in hers. It was definitely not 'love' but didn't know about lust either.
They spent time together; both came to office early and left the premise late. All they wanted was each other's company.
Once his finger got badly bruised, Simi took care of him and did the dressing. In restaurants, at times, she even opted to pay the bill as a treat. He felt loved and cared about her.
The emptiness of his life was filled with her companionship and love.
One day, Abhi proposed her but she said she needed time to think. He waited, but unfortunately, she resigned from the office all of a sudden. On her last day, before leaving for home, Simi held his hand and proposed him back. She even kissed him and told him that there was nothing to worry about as they were committed with hearts.
She left for home after comforting him by saying that they would make it together.
Within 2 days, Simi proposed friendship as she was not in a position to commit because of her past unsuccessful relationships. He enquired about the act of proposal for love, to which she said that she was not denying but for that phase, she would prefer to be friends.
Though they were in two different offices, yet they met each other every day after office hours. She said she needed to convince her parents and again bargained with time. Of course, he was taken aback by her words but despite that he gifted her the time she needed.
But the fact was that she herself was not convinced and clear at heart and mind. There began her roller coaster ride for a month. She said she would propose by January 2017. Abhi waited, January came in and went away but she didn't propose. Instead, she wanted a breakup and gave a reason that she was not ready for this relationship owing to her bad experiences from the past.
He helplessly asked her about those days spent together and promises made for life. She calmly told him that it was her mistake, but they could still remain friends.
In simple words, after the drama got sidelined, he was friend zoned. But he didn't agree to it.
He didn't know how to be a friend again with the person he loved desperately.
Then she sobbed a little and promised that she would continue with him at a condition that he deletes all of her messages. If he didn't, then she would not keep any contact with him. Naturally, he complied.
Until the day when all the messages were not deleted, she addressed him as her better half and continued with all romantic dramas. Once it got deleted, she ghosted away and said that she didn't want to continue, not even as friends.
The entire episode left him psychologically disturbed and he went into depression.
Abhi also consulted a psychiatrist and took medications for depression. It was obvious that he was devastated from within. Yet he tried to call her and send texts while urging her to come back in his life. It was then Simi warned him that if he made any further call or sent any text, then she would register a police complaint.
I wonder if the same had happened to a girl, then all the blame would have been put on the boy.
The irony is mostly we don't empathise victims, but we often decide our sympathy based on the gender.
It has been more than a year now, and he is still trying to forget the nightmare. To fall in love again is his biggest fear and he completely forgot how to trust.
Well, is the story fiction or real? Does that matter? No! But to mention, it's a real story and I don't want to highlight their identities. There could be any Abhi falling prey to a Simi and also can't deny the vice versa.
This story is not to discuss betrayal or failure in love, but to highlight the narcissist love.
To add, we often come across several stories of betrayal or abuse in relationships but seldom have we tried to look for the traits of narcissism, as we are unaware of it. So you need to educate yourself about the same.
June 1 is being celebrated as World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day. You must be aware of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
According to the largest study ever conducted on personality disorders (PD) by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), 5.9% of the U.S. population has BPD (Grant et al. 2008) and 6.2% has NPD (Stinson et al. 2008). As some people fit both diagnoses, about 10 percent of the U.S. population has BPD and/or NPD. This shows that it is quite common than we could imagine.
Lack of such statistic in India doesn't make us free of a narcissist. They exist among us, hidden and well masked.
You might face narcissism in any relationship and not only in the matters of the heart. A narcissist could be anybody - your sibling, parent, spouse, child, friend that can bear the trait.
They are very good emotional exploits, shifts blame, sow seeds of doubt, bombards with love and gradually devalue their victims.
The victims believe in their illusions; they mask their feelings so well that no one can see through it.
You do not realise that you are being abused by a narcissist but when you do, things are not the way as you wished and thus, you start questioning the flaws in you.
Researchers have found that the most important characteristics of NPD are grandiosity, seeking excessive admiration, and a lack of empathy. The narcissists often victimise people who take care of other's happiness more than one's own self. They go after people who trust easily or gets easily pleased, and who are ready to compromise for the comfort of others.
In short, people who are selfless, easy at heart, and simple at mind falls victim to a narcissist love.
Narcissist people are like slow poison, they gradually start affecting. The victims get disconnected from their own wants and desires. The victims start finding a flaw in themselves, starts questioning their own worth just like Abhi questioned to himself and his sister.

A health club owner was murdered in his Tennessee fitness facility, and one of his former employees has been charged with the crime.
Domenic Micheli, 36, is alleged to have killed Joel Paavola, 46, owner and manager of the Balance Training fitness club in Nashville in an attack on June 4. Paavola had fired Micheli from his job at the club 14 months ago, according to the Tennessean. After a multi-state manhunt, Kentucky State Police arrested Micheli on June 5 near Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Micheli waived formal extradition proceedings to Tennessee and provided a detailed statement admitting to killing Paavola, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department. A search of Micheli's vehicle yielded a hatchet and a large knife, the suspected murder weapons, according to the department. Micheli returned to Nashville in police custody on June 8 and is being held without bond on a charge of criminal homicide, according to the Tennessean. Micheli previously had been arrested on April 27 for driving his car to a checkpoint near the White House and refusing to move.
Paavola was assisting clients with a workout routine when Micheli is alleged to have entered the Balance Training facility and attacked Paavola with the hatchet and knife, striking him multiple times before running from the scene, according to the police report. Paavola died while being transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Friends of Paavola set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for his wife and five children. As of June 11, the effort had already raised more than $240,000 – easily surpassing the page's $75,000 goal. Mourners posted tributes to Paavola on the GoFundMe page, on social media and on Legacy.com, where an obituary detailed Paavola's life. On Facebook, Balance Training remembered "a boss, co-worker, mentor, training partner, and dear friend." Those who shared memories of Paavola emphasized his love for his family and his authentic enthusiasm for his clients.
"You were my first trainer," read a post from Eileen Tomson on Legacy.com. "You taught me physical strength and spiritual strength. Your energy and enthusiasm never stayed below a 10, because you lived for your family, friends, teaching and bringing all of us to a better plane. You had the ability to push us beyond what we thought we could ever accomplish."
According to the Tennessean, Micheli began to work for Paavola approximately five years ago when the Balance Training facility opened. A police spokesman told the paper that Micheli was fired for attempting to poach clients for a facility he was considering opening.

in performance: taylor swift/vance joy
At the half point of a sold out dance-pop blitzkrieg last night at Rupp Arena that encouraged everyone to party like it was 1989, Taylor Swift addressed a crowd of 18,000 as only a true pop mogul could – from atop a platform runaway that rose and tipped upward like the bow of a ship so the singer could address the upper decks eye-to-eye.
It was a moment that was visually quite arresting, regardless of how one viewed the often formulaic music that dominated the nearly two hour show surrounding it. Here was a former teen sensation whose stardom and bankability should have dwindled years ago. But last night, at age 25, she was a bigger deal than ever, a performer with a shrewd business sense that reached into every crevice of the production, making her arguably the most popular and image savvy female performer to rule the pop marketplace since Madonna.
The ballyhoo about Swift's current tour is that it, like her quadruple platinum album 1989 (a reference to her birth year; it was actually released in 2014), jettisons the country-pop formulas that first brought her to stardom. Truth to tell, the country accents have been gone for years. Last night's show simply underscored the transformation by ditching the bulk of her back catalogue. With the exception of perhaps four songs, the entire program was devoted to music from 1989 – from the show-opening parade of Welcome to New York (a curious intro when you're expecting a greeting in Lexington) to the pop celebration of the mega-hit Shake It Off, which was saved for the end of the night.
Unlike her previous three Rupp outings, which treated then-current songs like re-enactments of music videos, Swift streamlined her current show into a more dance-friendly setting to suit the groove of the 1989 music.
There was some choreographed sexual tension at times, like when a pack of shirtless male dancers backed Swift's chanteuse posing during I Knew You Were Trouble (one of the few older songs that made the cut for the setlist) and the singer's curious brandishing of a golf club like a riding crop during Blank Space. This was still pretty tame stuff, though, especially when contrasted to live displays by contemporaries like Miley Cyrus or even Katy Perry. Last night's audience was heavily female and loaded with kids, which shifted any suggestion of sexual politics to good old fashioned romantic confession.
Throughout the evening, Swift would sing one or two tunes, pop down through a trap door in the stage to change costumes and let video screens come to life with pre-recorded chat from star gal pals like Lena Dunham and Selena Gomez to fill the transition time.
Some of the songs were undeniably infectious, as displayed by the massive pop hooks that fortified Style. Others seemed a little lead-footed in the groove department (I Wish You Would) and came off as generic backdrops for the dancing. Two of the non-1989 tunes – Love Story and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together – even received sonic facelifts to make them more welcoming to the show's party environment.
The half-hour opening set by Aussie pop-folk star Vance Joy was, in contrast, a lesson in simplicity – a sampler of seven songs with acoustic leanings, cleverly syncopated grooves and earnest though unremarkable singing. The efficiently melodic Fire and the Flood was the highlight with a cover of the Sam Smith hit Stay With Me serving as an unimaginative bid for a level of pop familiarity his own songs refreshingly lacked.
But the night clearly belonged to CEO Swift, whose command of the proceedings extended to one of the show's most novel props – wrist bracelets given to audience patrons that would light up with various colors and blink in dramatic accordance with the music. But the bracelets' effects were triggered by the tech crew, allowing the gadgetry to glow in unison.
It was a clever but somewhat creepy idea, when you think about it. The audience was encouraged to let loose and join the dance party around them. But it was ultimately Swift who would control when her fans would, quite literally, lighten up.

Chick Flick and a Glass of Wine
This is definitely one of my favorite movies. It makes you sad, then happy, then sad, and then happy again! I grabbed my glass of red wine, ate my lovely dinner and enjoyed every minute of this movie. If you haven't seen it, I highly suggest it, but make sure you have a Kleenex or 5. Diane Lane is such a wonderful actress and the story behind this movie is so amazing. I love it! and I'm dying to go to Tuscany! Maybe we'll wait until it's a little warmer outside.
On an icky note, I think our heater might be acting up. The German couple above us knocked on our door yesterday and asked if our heater was working. I didn't notice anything at the time, but later that day, I realized I was freezing, and the heat was already high! Ugh I hope it doesn't screw up on us. Germany is so cold right now, it is supposed to snow today!
An a good note, I've got a hairdo today. Then I am going to continue reading the second Twilight Series book New Moon.
I started this like three weeks ago and was waiting for this two weeks that Jon was gone, so I could just throw myself into the rest of the series. I read Twilight in two days.... I think these books will have the same effect on me. I figure I won't be able to put them down, so what a better time to read them!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

I loved the Twilight books and I zoomed through all 4 in a matter of a week! It's the perfect thing for you to do while your husband is gone!
I've never seen Under the Tuscan Sun...I think I may have to rent that tonight!
And of course your furnace is acting up...Jon's gone!! Good luck with it!

I very much enjoyed the Twilight series (tho, I gotta say, I almost didn't read past #2. it was NOT my favorite).

Missing you tons, little Peanut! Qatar is basically the same, just about 40 degrees cooler than the last time we were here. I'm glad I brought a jacket. Loving and missing a metric ton!!

text: Vox Humana 0 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Some forum members might be interested to know that Stainer & Bell have added a few more volumes to their sale of certain titles in the prestigious Musica Britannica series. The prices are still not cheap, but are very good value for what you get. There are one or two volumes of early keyboard music on offer and some of anthems and motets. I have just splashed out on the three volumes of S. S. Wesley's collected anthems, which are full of fascinating stuff I didn't know.https://stainer.co.uk/category/sale/ Link to post Share on other sites

What Lies Beneath Costume
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Women
This homemade costume for women entered our 2016 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Miriam, the 'What Lies Beneath' costume creator:
This is me after I worked for two hours on my face using liquid eyeliner and a Sleek eyeshadow palette. It was all in the shading for the skeleton side, and my normal makeup for the other side! I thought the faux hawk (fake Mohawk) was an ideal hair choice! I teamed the look with all black and a skull scarf, dirtying up the look with cobwebs, spiders and baby powder! 😁
