Will County Board Members Steve Balich and Mike Fricilone attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Recorder of Deeds and Coroner offices
Tuesday January 20th 2015, Will County Board Members Steve Balich and Mike Fricilone attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Recorder of Deeds and Coroner offices, 158 N. Scott St. Joliet, Il. began at 9am. Will County's Larry Walsh, County Board Members: Jim Moustis, Deniese Winfrey, and Ragan Freitag, as well as Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante spoke of all the work that went into getting the building opened. They expressed that Will County Government being located in downtown Joliet is what helps give the downtown life. The cost was partially funded from revenue from the county's energy plant which operates at the county's Prairie View landfill converting gas from the landfill into useful energy.
The building is energy efficient using led lights with dimmers that react with sunlight entering the room. There are 2 tankless water heaters which will also save energy. The Building has plenty of parking and is very easy to get to from I- 80 or Rt. 30. It is estimated that this building will save $250,000 in rent.
We have too many laws
I don't understand the concept of making a new law when there is already on on the books. Despite not agreeing with letting a judgement call from the code enforcement officer be the determination of a violation, a light nuisance belongs in the nuisance law.

Balich Ordinance not allowing aerial photos to initiate code violations is now law after Executive Order by County Executive
Balich Ordinance not allowing aerial photos to initiate code violations is now law after Executive Order by County Executive
The process addressing use of aerial photos in code violations began in April 2013 when Balich first brought a Resolution to the Legislative Committee. Balich said he was having trouble getting it to the right Committee. The issue was moving from Land Use to Judicial with not much happening. Balich eventually decided to move it forward as a change to the ordinance which required a public hearing and a full vote of the County Board. After playing ring around the Committees for a few Months moving from Judicial to Land Use to Executive and finally to a joint meeting of Land Use and Judicial in December 2013, it passed and was to be set for public hearing. Finally May 6th 2014 there was a public hearing, and immediately after the hearing the Judicial Committee voted it down. This was a shock for Balich who thought it would pass with no problem. It was dead as far as Reed Bible, Tom Weigel, Ken Harris, and Jacky Traynere were concerned. Balich said it is not over, he was not giving up. He said this is a people issue and could not understand why the Democrats and Weigel did not get it.
At the May 13th Executive Committee Jim Moustis motioned to put it back on the Agenda, for a vote of the full board. Reed Bible and Herb Brooks voted no the rest of the Committee voted yes giving the ordinance new life with a vote of the full Board. Jim Moustis made the valid point that 4 people from a committee should not have the power to kill an issue. Mr. Moustis also pointed out that anything can be added to the County Board Agenda by the Executive Committee. Balich was confident there were enough votes to pass from the full Board.May 14th the County Executive passed an Executive Order, putting Balich's ordinance into law before the vote of the full Board. Balich is extremely pleased with Walsh's decision standing for the people of Will County.
Executive Order 14-30
Aerial Photography Prohibited
Lawrence M. Walsh, will County Executive, hereby prohibits the Land Use Department and its personnel from using aerial photography to initiate an internal Land Use complaint of an ordinance violation. Dated May 14, 2014 and signed by Will Vounty Executive Lawrence M. Walsh.
Jesse Alaniz speake against use of Aerial photos to initiate Building Code violations
On June 6, 1788, James Madison warned "I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations…" Madison also recognized that they, the Framers themselves could abuse their very own powers, "A watchful eye must be kept on ourselves lest while we are building ideal monuments of Renown and Bliss here we neglect to have our names enrolled in the Annals of Heaven."
Enter then Reed Bible (Democrat), Jackie Traynere (Democrat), Ken Harris (Democrat) and Tom Weigel (Republican) who voted to allow the Will County Land Use Department to use Aerial Photos to initiate Building Code violations. I would hope then that Mr. Reed will spare me the threat that he is a lawyer along with his other credentials which appear to be more of a threat to my personal freedom rather than credit. As for the other Democrats it comes as no surprise. A majority vote by a majority mob gives them the right to do just about anything according to their platform. As to Mr. Weigel, a "Republican" I would remind him of one of Calvin Coolidge's greatest accomplishments, "Perhaps one of the most important accomplishments of my administration has been minding my own business." Calvin Coolidge
The Will County Board will not doubt attempt to dupe the people that this is legal and that "the courts have ruled". Nonsense, the courts have not ruled rather the courts have drifted from the original intent of the United States Constitution & Bill of Rights. So what does this say about the Will County Board? There may be many who will be angry with this new unjust law but take comfort that the people of Illinois have awoken and that Will County just affirmed Gallup. The Tribune posted in an April 4, 2014 story that the state with the most trusted government in America was North Dakota. The state with the least trusted government? Yes, you guessed it, Illinois was the winner. But the news doesn't end there. In another Gallup Poll (April 30, 2014) Illinois was one of the top states with up to 50% stating that they want to leave Illinois with an estimated 19% of those polled stating that they intend to move for various reasons. It is my personal opinion that 50% of those in Will County don't trust their government, that 50% of those living in Will County do wish they could leave and I do believe that Will County's fair share will leave the state in the future. What about the rest of us what can we do? Well there are three options.
The first option left to the people from the Declaration of Independence, "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." Of course designing men will tell you that this no longer applies which would then give the people the second option.
Associate Justice Joseph Story wrote in his Commentaries, "The people have established it and spoken their will; and their will, thus promulgated, is to be obeyed as the supreme law. Every department of the Government must, of course, in the first instance-, in the exercise of its own powers and duties, necessarily construe the instrument. But, if the case admits of judicial cognizance, every citizen has a right to contest the validity of that construction before the proper judicial tribunal; and to bring it to the test of the Constitution. And, if the case is not capable of judicial redress, still the people may, through the acknowledged means of new elections, or proposed amendments, check any usurpation of authority, whether wanton, or unintentional, and thus relieve themselves from any grievances of apolitical nature." – §42
But if designing pen still persist that this too is "antiquated", that the courts "have not drifted" and that the "courts have ruled", I would then remind the American People of the United States Supreme Court case, "National Federation of Independent Business et al. v. Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, et al. ~ "Members of this Court are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation's elected leaders, [who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them.]" – June 28, 2012. Tiocfaidh ár lá, the courts have ruled . . .
With the Almighty's Blessing I Am,

Balich Opinion on Woodbine Purchase
After receiving calls about the Meeting of the Village of Homer Glen, this Tuesday April 22nd at 6:30pm 14917 S. Founders Crossing, concerning the purchase of Woodbine Golf Course, I feel I should state my position as a taxpayer of Homer Glen.
1. I believe the purchase price was a great deal. The Village currently pays about ¼ Million Dollars to rent space at Founders Crossing each year. Stopping this bleeding of our Village coffers makes since. The Village needs to move in there as soon as possible.
2. I believe this meeting will give the public a chance to hear various options to what may be planned with the 100 plus acres that cost about 3Million Dollars.
3. I like the idea that a meeting is being planned to give the public some input. Nothing has been done at this point other than the purchase.
4. We need to make sure whatever the public and or Village desire as a finished product can be funded without a new tax, unless there is a referendum for the people to decide.
5. In the interim I believe since the Village owns the property, residents should be allowed to use it as long as it does not cost a lot of money. There are asphalt walking paths, huge fairways for sports practice fields, ponds for fishing, possibly a hall that seniors and other groups could use, plus God knows what else. We don't need to raise taxes to do these things since they are pretty much ready to be used.
6. I don't know where the money to buy the property is coming from, nor do I know what it will cost to develop a plan to convert the property to whatever its permanent use will be. My guess is a short term bond, or cash reserves for the purchase and site plan which could be paid by the ¼ Million savings in rent. Where the money to actually construct what is planned will come from is a separate issue.
7. When we hit the building phase sometime in the future, there should be a referendum asking the voters if they want to have a property tax, purchase another bond, or do nothing at that time. I know the General Obligation Bond to purchase the Illinois American Water transmission line could force a property tax if there is not enough revenue in sales tax to pay the bond. I don't think this will happen, but spending on new projects does concern me. This is why I feel the voters need to decide at that future point.

Do Not give up the Internet
The U.S. is controlled and operated by a group of people presumed to be led by Our President Obama. Since Obama took office he has lied to the American people, destroyed our economy, attacked our institutions, assaulted the Constitution, Religious Liberty, and changed the social structure to benefit those who do not produce. Did I leave anything out? I am sure I did.
Now the Administration after using the NSA to spy on the world is embarrassed by what other countries think of Mr. Obama and those in control in the U.S. The media which is now pretty much controlled by the government ignored all those scandals like Bengazzi, IRS Targeting, IRS going after media that won't fall in line, and government spying on everyone in the world at the digression of who? The goal is obvious, to make the U.S. into a socialist system.
Why should the U.S. Government give up control of the internet that was developed by the military with tax dollars to any country, group of countries like the UN, or the "world". It is ours and anyone can see the potential damage giving up control just to make Obama look good to the world. Once the World gets their grubby hands on control are we in greater danger? The world for the most part hates us. They pretend to be our friend as long as money keeps flowing their way with nothing in return to the taxpayer except the happy feelings generated by countries that kiss our backside and lie in wait with a knife to move to a stab a little higher whenever the opportunity arises.
When the internet is controlled by "who" will cyber-attacks on the U.S. become the norm. To pay the taxpayer back for the cost of development maybe every country should pay a tax to use our creation. Where our elected Representatives in saying no? They campaign on standing for America get elected and forget what they said. They want to be liked by the media so they shirk the responsibility of standing for what is right, which in today's world is contrary to the direction of Obama and those who control him.
Why another Illinois tax increase
Lawmakers and special-interest groups across Illinois are trying to dupe Illinoisans into paying higher income taxes. They're trying to convince Illinoisans that a progressive income tax hike is only a tax hike on the rich. But that couldn't be further from the truth.
Need proof? Look at both progressive tax proposals on the table in Illinois.
Under current Illinois law, the individual income tax rate will be 3.75 percent in 2015. Under the progressive tax-hike plan from state Rep. Naomi Jakobsson, D-Champaign, a higher 4 percent rate kicks in on any income of more than $18,000. That income tax rate targets hardworking Illinoisans.
Jakobsson's progressive tax rates also attack the middle class. Her 5 percent tax rate applies to income earned after $36,000. When an Illinoisan earns more than $58,000, Jakobsson's tax rates jump to 6 percent, and again to 7 percent on income earned after $95,000 – nearly double the rate Illinoisans will pay in 2015.
Source: Email correspondence with state Rep. Naomi Jakobsson
Another progressive tax plan, developed by the union-funded Center for Tax and Budget Accountability, increases the tax rate for anyone who earns more than $5,000.
Source: IEANEA
It's no surprise that Jakobsson's progressive tax-hike proposal targets the middle class – it's how progressive income taxes work. That's where a lot of the money is.
Just look at where the top progressive tax rates – the rates that are supposed to "make the rich pay their fair share" – start in other states.
Source: Tax Foundation Facts & Figures 2013
So don't be fooled when lawmakers say a progressive income tax is only a tax on the rich. The proposed rates in Illinois make it clear that lawmakers are gearing up to raise tax rates on Illinois' working- and middle-class residents.

Will County Capital Improvements projects/ Decision
23:00 minutes discussion of building fresh to what the County needs begins. The question is cost, and value. Is it cheaper and better to build new, or demolish an old building and build new? Is it cheaper to retro-fit an old building or build new on vacant land? Should the County look at the options, or dismiss moving everything to a central campus built specifically to our needs?

Ever since Angelina Jolie wore a side split dress on the red carpet, smooth, toned legs have been en vogue. Rather than putting in overtime at the gym, treat your legs with this skin-firming lotion from chic French brand Caudalie. The tinted formula imparts a subtle tan and has grown-up shimmer to mask flaws.
I use all sorts of ways to keep myself from looking ghostly pale. I use creams, lotions, sprays, booths and the sun. Some products work well and some leave you orange and streaky. This one surpasses all expectations. I love it and will definitely be purchasing more of it as soon as I run through my sample.5
This lotion goes on nicely, but compared to some of the other products I use I can't say it's anything special. The fact that it's tinted is a big detraction for me. I prefer having pale skin, and have absolutely no need for self-tanners. In fact I live in an area that doesn't even get that hot in the summer so I don't bare my legs often anyway. I'd rather stick with the tint-free lotions I use already, but If you enjoy the tan look I'm sure this is great.2
I have a tiny love affair with anything Caudalie! This product is great! I have tan legs, but adding that shimmer and all around tone unity, is a must! This product is great and so are their others! And I dont use it just for legs, it can go anywhere....and if I forget my bronzer on my cheeks when Im out on the lake, I just dab a bit of this on, and I'm good to go!4
This arrived in my Birchbox order just a week ago, and already I can't live without it. The silky, shimmery lotion goes on smoothly and actually stays on, and it makes you look like you've had an island vacation. And don't stop with the legs----it works great on your arms and shoulders, too! Smells divine!5
I don't really want to self tan anyway. Just because I am on the lighter side does not mean I want to self tan. However, I don't understand why you would want to use a lotion on your legs in the summer, especially in the hot of the south. Makes no sense to me.1

I am a regional coach in the State of Ohio for the Ohio Center for Autism and Low Incidence (OCALI). We have many free resources available online. One resource is Autism Internet Modules. They are adult learning modules with content information including image and video supports, as well as research base, discussion questions, and activities for each topic. Some of the topics are Assessment for Identification, Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), Preparing Individuals for Employment, Structured Teaching, and Visual Supports. There are now 21 modules available. This could be a resource for some of the evidence based materials the group can access, as some of the modules are authored by the National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorders. To view the modules, go to www.autisminternetmodules.org and set up a free account.
Thanks for joining, I went to the site you referenced, http://www.autisminternetmodules.org/ , and signed up. I'm excited to share this information with our teachers and other administrators.

I'm a new special education teacher in Illinois. My first teaching position begins this fall in an alternative school for students with emotional/behavioral disabilities. I'll be teaching an assisted/guided program and have a few students with an ASD.
Looking forward to hearing more from this group and learning better practices for working with my students.
Welcome and congrats on your 1st teaching position. Part of my background is working in alternative programs. My last position was in a high school, we developed a wiki that may have some useful info for you (classroom rules based on Canter's assertive discipline and a cross content area curriculum map, and other things). Here is the site:
Good luck.
Hi, I am new to this group and would like to gain a perspective from others on strategies that have been used to help include students with autism in their home schools and with their typical peers.
Has anyone used Ipods for students with autism?
Hi, I'm a middle school spec.ed teacher who currently teaches LA and Math in my own classroom. Each year my classroom make up is different- LD/CD/Beh. prob./ Autistic/ etc. Sometimes a para-pro is available to assist, esp. with those kids diagnosed with Autism, however, not always, and even with help, I am the one responsible for providing the best for each student. I'm interested in this group and the discussions in order to get new ideas to use with my students- no matter what the disability.

Can we talk Corner Sinks??
I currently have a 42" corner sink cabinet with a 33" double bowl sink. In the new kitchen, I would like to add a second sink (also a corner sink) and move down to a 36" base. I have been scouring this forum and the internet in general in search of other people's corner sink setups and have come across some creative corner cabinets and sinks. I thought I would share those here for others who might be considering corner sinks.
This 46" cabinet by Omega Cabinetry has an 8" recess and bifold doors. I thought it was particularly clever.
And here is the drawing to see how they did it.
This corner sink looks pretty cool. I've never thought much of the "bat wing" design, but this I rather like. No angle cabinet required, though I have a hard time imagining what it would be like to work at - no parallel counter in front of you to lean on.
Here are a couple where the cabinet is recessed. My guess is those are at least 42" sink bases? Top one is from Bucks County Soapstone.
Vizslalover - I have had your corner sink picture in my "file" for a long time. If you're around, I'm curious what the little narrow cabinet is to the left of your sink. Can you open the oven door with someone at the sink if they scoot to the right a little?
And Buehl, is your prep sink in a 36" base? Same sort of question, can someone use the MW when someone else is at the sink? Do you have any filler between the two?
There are a few things that bother me about our current setup, and I'm trying to address those in the remodel:
- It is hard to use the cavernous space below efficiently...
That is one reason for moving to a 36" base. I'd rather have the 6" in a cabinet somewhere else in the run where the space can be better utilized.
- Even with our 42" sink base, we still can't really get more than one person at the sink...
So we're adding a second sink - we'll have one prep and one clean-up - and would like to use a 36" cabinet for both. This will give us more room elsewhere and it doesn't really change much in the way of accessiblity.
- Whatever is stored below is inaccessible to others when someone is at the sink (bad place for trash), and with corner sinks, it is harder to just shift out of the way...
I'm moving the trash out from under the sink to a cabinet that can be accessed even if someone is standing at either of the sinks. I'm also guessing that I shouldn't put the pull-out trash right next to the sink because with corner sinks, the accessibility of those cabinets is sometimes tricky as well if someone is at the sink?
Layout can be seen in this thread:
Rough layout for our double corner sink kitchen
I'd also love to hear what other people's experiences are
- Anyone with a 36" corner sink cabinet for the main sink that thinks it is too small?
- Has anyone recessed the sink in a 36" cabinet?
- Any creative storage solutions for corner sink bases?
- What do you store under them? Seems like trash and cleaners often go under sinks. I store my Costco papertowel supply under our current one. Anyone storing cookware? Food?
- Do you have drawers or doors next to your corner sinks? How accessible are they when someone is at the sink? We have doors next to our sink currently, and with the hinge on the sink side, it is pretty accessible. I'm thinking about moving to drawers, though, and that might be a different story.
- If your corner sink is cleanup, where is your dishwasher in relation to it? Do you have a cabinet separating dw and sink or are they adjacent? Any filler?
I'm still here :) The small cabinet to the left of the sink is a 3" spice pullout which we have found very handy. Some people balk at putting the spices next to the range but we haven't noticed any huge issues so far (almost 2 years now).
It is possible to open the oven while someone is standing at the sink as long as they are conscious you're doing so and move over a bit.
Our kitchen is quite small, as you may have guessed, so we only have the one sink. Our DW is located to the right of the sink and is spaced off by a 12" drawer stack (which is obviously not especially accessible when someone is standing at the sink). We keep the kind of items you mentioned under the sink... cleaning supplies, soapstone oiling supplies etc.
Thanks Vizslalover!
Are you happy with the 12" spacing between sink and DW? Do you think you could have done less?
Now I know why you've been in my file for so long - soapstone! We did it in our last kitchen remodel (wish that had been our last, but we moved, and alas, here I am again).
Oh, and the link to my layout thread above doesn't work due to a typo
Yes, we're happy with the 12" spacing. I don't think I would go less. In fact, we tried very hard to get a 15" drawer stack in there but it just wasn't do-able in our space. We have framed cabinets which means the actual drawers in a 12" drawer stack are only about 8" wide. However, we still really needed the drawer space so went with it anyway.
The 12" really is pretty much the minimum amount of space you need to comfortably load the DW. We have about 6" to the left (where the range is) with the spice pullout and filler and you have to move out of the way a bit to open the oven. I don't think it would be very comfortable to try and load a dishwasher that close.
Are you going to do soapstone again? We love ours and it was very satisfying for us since we DIY'd them.
Vizsla - Thanks for that info. It's always nice to hear from someone who has the real set-up versus my cardboard and newspaper mock-up! =) I am definitely considering soapstone again. I had some scraps from our last kitchen (a DIY as well) that I brought to this house. I cut a countertop out of them for our half bath. Just working with it again got me hooked all over. Basically, if we go dark countertops, it will likely be soapstone. If we decide to go light, then it will probably be one of the recycled glass options (or maybe quartz...) and I will miss the DIY aspect of it. That was very rewarding.
Akchicago - Thanks for pointing out that thread. I had come across it this summer and made a mental note of some pics, but didn't save them anywhere and the thread didn't show up when I searched "corner sink". Much appreciated! You have your pull out trash right next to your sink - what is it like for someone to access it when someone is at the sink? How big is your sink base? Thanks!
Jraz - In answer to your questions, I cannot remember the size of my sink base, but I just now measured the countertop of that section, and the front is 21" across and the back is 33" across if that makes any sense. I had my sink (rectangular single-bowl) custom-made to fit the base, because all the sinks I saw were either too big or too small. My sink is 27" x 17". There is absolutely no problem with someone accessing the pull-out trash. If I am at my sink, the trash can be accessed from my right easily. Also, if I am using the sink, I can pull out my trash without feeling hemmed-in. My sink is wide enough that two people can even squeeze in, e.g. is someone is rinsing at the sink and someone just wants to stick a glass under the faucet or something, there is no problem.
Here is a pic. Just to let it be known, my cat is NOT allowed on the counter and normally never goes there. But whenever she sees the camera, she needs to get in the picture no matter what. So she saw me with the camera, and jumped on the counter. Bad girl! (although at least it helps to judge proportion in the pic)

I'm using box2d in my application. It has a class
b2Body. It has a property
void *userData and methods for it's accessing. In other words: we can store there some additional info about physic body. I want to store there some class object:
MyClass *obj = new MyClass();
b2Body body;
Now I have to get user data inside python! I wrote a function-wrapper which returns the extracted pointer:
MyClass *GetBodyUserData(b2Body &body)
void *userData = body.GetUserData();
if (userData) return (MyClass*)userData;
std::cout << "Fail.";
return nullptr;
Now, when I call
GetBodyUserData in python I have an empty or 'dead' object :(.
I tried to store smart pointer insted of pure one but It's not allowed by
SetUserData interface.
Any ideas?
upd Exporting to python:
bp::def("GetBodyUserData", &GetBodyUserData, boost::python::return_value_policy <boost::python::reference_existing_object>())

I wanna make a social network with some new ideas . I wonder with which programming languages , social networks , or forums can be written? thanks .
closed as not a real question by Joe, RoadWarrior, Jim Lewis, gnovice, Brad Larson♦ Dec 20 '10 at 16:33
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
There are a wide variety of languages that could be used. Some of the more popular ones include PHP and ASP.NET.
I would suggest looking into elgg. It's a popular open source engine that powers social networks. I believe it leverages LAMP, which is Linux, Apache, MySql, and PHP.
Anything which can be written in one Turing-complete language can also be written in every other Turing-complete language. Since the vast majority of what we think of as "programming languages" are Turing-complete, this means that they can be written in pretty much any programming language.

25-year, global hunt reunites mother and son
More neighbors were gathering. He repeated his pleas. Did someone, anyone, know where his family was?
A man plucked the photo from Saroo's hand. "Wait here," he said, and hurried off. A few minutes later, he returned.
"Come with me," he said. "I am going to take you to your mother."
Saroo was numb as the man guided him around the corner, where three women stood waiting. He stared at them blankly. Only the woman in the middle seemed remotely familiar.
"This is your mother," the man said, gesturing toward the woman in the center.
She had been young, in her thirties, the last time he saw her. She looked so much older now. But behind the weathered face, there was something unmistakable. Unforgettable.
Mother. His mother.
Fatima was still sitting on her doorstep when she heard the words she always knew would come, but couldn't believe were actually being spoken.
"Your Saroo is back," a neighbor screamed, running toward her.
Fatima walked down her alley and saw a mob of people walking up the road as if in a procession. In the middle stood a man calling out the names of her family.
Of his family.
He rushed to her, and she to him. They grabbed each other and hugged tightly. He couldn't find words, so he just held her.
The scar from the long-ago horse kick was still there in his forehead, and he had the same chin dimple that marked all her children, but Fatima would have recognized him anyway, even though he was now 30. She led him by the hand to her new home and hugged him for what felt like an hour, cried and caressed his head.
"My Saroo is back," she said. "The almighty has finally answered my prayers. He has brought the joy back. He has finally brought my Saroo back."
Saroo was overwhelmed. Tears slid down his face.
He wanted to know whether Fatima had looked for him. She told him about her search and how she had never given up hope. He told her that when he went through tough times, he would think of his family in India and go into a corner and cry. Saroo was devastated to learn about his brother Guddu's grisly death on the train tracks.
Fatima called Kallu and Shakila with the news of their brother's return. Kallu raced over on his motorcycle.
"You will be happy now," he told his mother. "Your son is back."
Saroo broke away to call his girlfriend. Lisa Williams, who had spent endless nights watching him hunt online for his hometown, was still asleep when the phone rang. Saroo had done it: He had found his family.
Williams shot out of bed. "What?!" she screamed. He repeated the words. She began to dance around the room. Closure, she thought. At last.
Closure is complicated.
Saroo's questions about his family's fate were answered, but new ones about how to deal with the future took their place.
Fatima's quest was over too, but how much did her lost son want to be in her life? Enough to satisfy a mother who never gave up on finding him?

Brown Leaves on Variegated Jade (pics)
Hi, I love this forum and have been reading and learning lots of things especially on Jades. I have a problem with my variegated jade, it's 1 yr old, starting to have brown leaves about 3 weeks ago. It stay in east windowsill, I water when it dries-the leaves feel soft. It's in soil-perlite mix. I thought it's maybe over watering? I then reduce the amount and time for watering, but still the problem continued. I decided to change the soil last week: 1 part soil: 2 parts perlite: 1 part pea gravel: 1 part pine bark and some pebbles on top. The roots are healthy. Then I gradually put the jade outside, introduce it to more sun. I have not watered the jade. These are the pics of the brown leaves and the plant after re-potting and putting it outside. Please help what cause the brown leaves? I'm looking to have healthy jade with big fat trunk. Thank you :)
I think you're seeing the result of the overwatering. You've taken the correct steps to repair that (i.e. more porous soil) and time will heal all wounds, at least of the overwatering type. Gradually introduce it to more sun, give it water when it's dry, give it bottom heat if you can, and all will be OK.
You're variegated jade looks EXACTLY how mine looked when it was introduced to too much sun too quickly. Exactly. As expected, the variegated variety is more sensitive. Unless it's rotting, I would think you're okay to water when the leaves are softening. That's pretty standard practice. It looks like it's growing in a gritty mix. Is it? And how much sun is it getting through that window and how long has it been acclimated to that environment? There are others here that can answer your questions much better than me, but maybe these questions will help them. But it LOOKS like sunburn to me.
Also-- Is it dropping leaves/ are they easily knocked off? Or did you pluck those? My experience was characterized by the former.
I wouldn't have put it outside and introduced it to sun so quickly after a repotting.
I really do think it's sunburn. I've been through this. It'll recover. Keep it out of the sun until you've received further/better instruction on what to do next.
Jades will also go semi-dormant during High Summer, and I find that leaves will be discarded
as a result of any watering. This year, my plants went dormant around the last week of June
and resumed growth during the first week of July.
Your plant looks wonderful, by the way.
Pluck any leaves that displease...it'll grow more immediately. I agree, you've right well
by this little Jade.
cactusmcharris, thank you and it's good to hear that time will heal all wounds. I took lots of brown leaves already.
Are those brown leaves still good for rooting? If so, I will wait for another week until the cut callous over first.
Gray, the jade is in a gritty mix, been sitting in the same window sill since the first time I got it and getting a few hours (about 6 hours) of morning sun everyday. I plucked those leaves and they were not easily taken-fell off by itself. I set the jade outside about a week ago and it's still in a shady place where it gets 1-2 hours of early morning sun and bright light only. I took all my jades and succulents indoor yesterday, we had thunderstorm and heavy rain for couple hours.
Josh, this is a new thing I have never learn from this forum before that jades can go semi-dormant during High Summer. I have another types of jades and need suggestion on how to shape those jades bushy on top only with big fat trunk. It takes time and lots of pruning- cutting I guess. I think I will post a new subject another time. Thank you :)
Hi Nat, just my two cents worth. Since you live in zone 8 I'm guessing that part of the problem is what Gray mentioned...too much sun! I have this Jade and it did the same thing when I had it in full Fl summer sun, I've since moved it and placed it underneath some palm trees where it gets bright light but diffused sun. I've noticed with my variegated Jades, they do much better for me when they don't get full direct sun all day. Not much you can do about the old leaves...but I think it will help a lot on the leaves that's left and upcoming ones. You've done all the right things as everyone mentioned replacing the soil and changing your watering. You've been given great advise by great members, like Josh said...its a very nice Jade. Best of luck
puglvr1, I have done everything from changing the soil and reduce the amount-time of watering. The new growth shows healthy leaves with no brown spot. The next thing I'm going to do is to move the jade into less sun/only bright light, no hot afternoon sun. I agree that the zone where I live can make a big difference. It's not only hot but humid... extreme heat Hi 97° real feel 105°. We have thunder storm and rain mostly every night since couple of days. puglvr1, cactusmcharris, Josh, Gray... you are great members, I have been reading and learning lots of things from you guys. Thank you :)
Oh, how I hate my zone - I'm in 6, but it's been acting like zone 8-9. Today is 94, 60% humidity, 108 Heat Index...
My Tricolor jade looks/has been acting the exact same way as the OPs. It's been in full sun, but I'll move it so it gets a break from the heat.
Crassula on the most part hate summer, they are winter growers, Give any transplated plant a good watering if and only if it has roots. Then leave it alone the rest of the summer unless well established. I grow mine outside with a Souther exposure, 30% shade cloth overhead. They do just fine. They may grow now, use up the water in the trunk and leaves, so they drop the bottom leaves, no big deal. They like to be crowded. Crassula are WINTER GROWERS yes I am shouting.
Read the past 8mo. post on this subject. Norma
Norma, thank you so much for the advice. I search on the same subject and found helpful information that I haven't read. I love jades and looking to buy for other varieties ( especially Hummel's Sunset) that I don't have yet. Thanks again Norma :)
As for that Hummel's Sunset...
You're likely already aware (from reading these forums) that they can be hard to track down (especially if you're up north like me). They pop up on eBay occasionally, but never go cheap. Thought I'd pass along a reliable source that Norma was kind enough to originally pass on to us. I know she still has cuttings available (if you can't find a rooted plant) and she sells them very cheaply. Send her an email with your inquiry. She was very kind and helpful. Good luck with your jades and your search for the more elusive and interesting types.
Here is a link that might be useful: K and L Cactus Nursery
I hope someone can help me with a brown leaf problem as well. Both my pachypodium cactipus and my pachy rosulatum gracilis have leaves that are starting to turn brown from the tips. Not all of the leaves, but enough of them to make me worry. They are both large specimens. They are on my porch which is screened in and face north. I try not to over-water them but...I didn't know if the problem was due to bugs, not enough root space, or over/under watering. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I would guess it's a combination of too much water and not enough sun - aren't most Pachypodium full-sun plants in their growth time?
And Terri, if you have a separate question, it's best to post it as a separate thread - it's seen by more members and can be answered more quickly, usually. I see why you asked here, though.
Anyway, back to your Pachys, unless they're severely underpotted, too, and are trying to grow with little/no success (and they should be in full growth mode now - warm and sometimes wet is how these tropical plants want it), I don't think you should have dying leaves.
Give them a full inspection for critters, too, but it sounds to me like it's not enough sun.
Thank you so much for your advice! (on how to post too - I'm new at this) Even though they're in full (sreened) sun most of the day, I wonder if the screen blocks out too much sun. Also, I have seen tiny black bugs in the dirt now and then. I just thought it was part of being outside. Does this little bug sound familiar?

Liberty Belle, a 2-year-old Beagle, is trained to sniff out bedbugs. Husband-and-wife team Christen and Glen Collymore adopted Liberty Belle from the J & K Canine Academy in High Springs, Fla.
The Collymores created their business, K9 Special Forces, in February. Although the company is young, the trio already have worked in five states.
"In looking for a business opportunity with little competition, growing demand, low overhead and low start up costs, all while providing an essential service — canine bedbug detection was an easy decision for us to make,†Glen Collymore said.
After getting the dog, the Collymores trained with her at J & K Canine Academy, where they also learned how to work with and handle Liberty Belle. After the training was done, the dog had to pass a National Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association test in order to become certified.
According to the company, independent research has shown that a certified Bed Bug Dog Team can accurately detect the scent of live bedbugs and live bedbug eggs with up to 95% accuracy. A human technician detects bedbugs somewhere between 15%-30% at best.
At this link, you can see a video from J & K Canine Academy about how dog bed bug training works.

Potinara Ray's Magic
winnjoe(MTL)March 28, 2010
I've been looking on-line for cultural information for this, or even just an indepth site with info for Potinara. I don't know anything really about culture for it or for the genera it is from. Any ideas? Thanks. Joe
arthurm(Sydney, NSW AUST)
Just think of your plant as a 'Cattleya', there are lots of cultivation notes on the net. Mine are in the link, just scroll down to find them. They are probably pretty useless for Canada.
Correct name might be Potinara Roy's Magic.

I like this over the regular primer. I do notice my makeup lasts a little longer with this, but overall, it's not worth it. There are much better primers out there. I like Mary Kay and Urban Decay much better.

I like this primer. I moved on to a mini size tube of this after using up a tube of the original Spackle, and I was not disappointed by any means!
Due to the fact that this primer looked tinted, I assumed that it'll leave some sort of golden glow on my skin. You can also see some very fine, reflective shimmer infused into the primer. However, I got probably zero tint out of this primer. I couldn't even see the sparkles, and the golden color is extremely sheer, which is understandable, so I didn't really get any enhancement to my skin tone.
Yet, I loved the dewy finish it left on my skin. This primer refracted the light nicely, creating a healthy glow, and I saw that it glossed over some uneven skin patches or acne. I'd actually recommend trying to wear this primer by itself; if you've ever wanted a simple trick to dewy skin, then this product works absolutely perfectly!
Spackle in Champagne absolutely helps to prolong my foundation wear. I haven't had issues with it being uncooperative with my foundations, and I have noticed that it keeps my foundation from diffusing itself or gathering up in certain areas of my skin. It helped my face products adhere even through times of tough summer heat. For that, I commend it greatly.
The packaging is pretty generic, just an easy squeeze tube, which works well. For the price- $27 for a full tube, I think- you really do get a lot of product. I used a mini tube that lasted me a solid 2 and a half months of everyday use. A full tube of Laura Geller primer lasts about a year, so this is definitely a great investment for a product that lasts so long! One final thing- the smell was ok, this primer doesn't try to smell all that nice, so it doesn't bother me. Overall, this is an excellent primer and I definitely recommend it!

If you get those awful tiny blister-like bumps from using silicone-based primers then avoid Spackle as I get the same reaction with this primer (I've tried original, Champagne and Ethereal - all the same reaction). With continued use I don't just get the tiny bumps - I made the mistake of using Spackle several days in a row as I'd run out of primer in the height of summer and I ended up with large lumps on my face. I am not exaggerating - I looked a complete mess! It's a shame as I quite like the luminous-but-not-shiny effect that the Ethereal Spackle gives my skin but I've figured I'm much better off with non-'cone primers. I am trying the Reviva primer as I've heard it's great for those who have to avoid silicone - I'll leave my review after a few days' use.

This doesn't act as a primer for me at all. It does nothing much to help with allowing for my foundation to go on smoother and wear longer than without. It does help with the appearance of pores either. I am not able to use it close to my eyes, as it causes my eyes to tear up each time. The champagne tint to it is very noticeable. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend wearing it without applying makeup over it, unless you plan on applying a very sheer wash of it.
Overall, I was super excited to try this product. But, it really didn't end up impressing me all that much. I won't be trying it again.

It goes on smoothly and I like that's tinted, but I would not purchase it again. It's not the best primer I've ever used and it is pricey. If you don't mind spending the money, I would recommend it.

Not a fan. I used this for about a month before realizing that it was breaking me out. At first I thought it was hormonal acne, but after several weeks, I realized that it was some face product I was using. I phased this out first, luckily, and cleared up fairly quickly.
And besides the fact that it broke me out, which is very dependent on a person's skin, this product just straight up doesn't work (which is really why I'm giving it a 1). It didn't help my makeup stay at all; I actually feel that it made my makeup move around more. It made my pores look HUGE which I didn't even realize until I stopped using it. Maybe its the glitter? Even though its not really detectable once makeup is on? I don't know, but I'm going to stick with bad is bad and leave it at that.

Awful, awful primer. When I put this on, I noticed that it spread really lovely and is a gold shimmery, sparkly color. The sparkle wasn't overwhelming and my normal amount of foundation covered it up easily enough. However, I've found that in less than 4 hours after applying my foundation is melted off in my t-zone. In the drier areas of my face this primer made my foundation gather oddly on my skin and made me look like I had wrinkly spots when in reality I have none. I got a great deal on this from Ulta, so I tried this primer out for four days because I really wanted it to work. Alas, every single day I got the same results. I've tried other primers before and have never had one make me look as bad as this one made me look. This is definitely a non-repurchase for me.

Love, love, love. This product glides on so smoothly. Greatly increases the wear time of any foundation and concealer that I have tried it with. The "tint" in this primer just looks like gold glitter when it's on the back of your hand but on your face gives a beautiful glow. Can't wait until my skin is clear because I would wear this on it's own!

I received Laura Geller's Spackle in the tint Champagne as a gift around Christmas-time 2011, and I have been using it ever since. I love the texture; it smooths out my skin great before I apply my make up and it feels very emollient. I was a bit put off by the sparkly appearance at first, but when applied to my skin, it doesn't look sparkly at all. I actually feel like it doesn't need a tint because it doesn't show up that way. I have noticed a difference in texture from the other tints. This one is by far the best that I've tried. It can be ordered in a large size from QVC for a decent price.
Overall - good primer. My favorite primer I've tried. Definitely would purchase this over any drugstore primer.

I'm a bit confused by this product. It's a decent, if lightweight, primer that doesn't seem to have a lot of 'cones so it doesn't feel greasy, and my foundation or BB cream apply quickly and easily over it and lasts long enough and look good enough. Not all-day-OMG-amazing because I do get some shine breakthrough in the forehead region about mid-day, and I'm not even oily. Nope; what confuses me is that it's shimmery and glittery and makes me look like a disco ball until I apply makeup over to cover it up. I can use any kind- cream, powder, liquid, TM, BB, etc. and thankfully afterwards, there is not a glitter particle in sight nor any glow, but that just makes me wonder why it's there to begin with. Is it supposed to help those of us who need extra illumination? (dry skin is my cuplrit there) If so, it doesn't do that once you apply anything over it, and I surely cannot see this being good for anyone on the oily or even combo/oily side due to the same glittery shimmer. It's thin, kind of runny and needs to be shaken up first or the glitter settles in the bottom of the tube which is kind of annoying. But there is no scent, no breakouts and I have no major issues with it though one way or another. Just kind of 'meh' and leaves me wondering what it is really supposed to do, so I can figure out if it actually works or not. But, as someone else mentioned, it does seem to 'grab' my foundation so I guess that is one or two points in it's favor. Some of the really 'coney ones just seem to slide it around to the point it feels like it slides right off just as easily and I don't get that, at least.
All that said and considering this may be a dud of a primer compared to ones I know work better for me (Revlon, Pop Beauty, L'Oreal, Smashbox, MAC, etc.) I'm wondering if I can use it like MAC Strobe Cream or a liquid luminzer instead. Maybe mixing it with a BB cream or foundation instead of using underneath might give me the glow I was hoping for but not seeing used as a primer. I will try it and report back; because the tube I have is ginormus and I don't need a lot per use so I hope to find some way to use it. I won't be getting another one though, even if I could because I suspect it may be dc or only available in certain kits or sets which I don't need at the moment.
